Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aviation technology, and more specifically to a trailer chassis lifting system mechanism for a rapid towing system for damaged aircraft. Background Technology

[0002] When an aircraft experiences an accident during takeoff or landing, resulting in landing gear damage and disrupting the normal operation of the airport, emergency relocation and rescue of the damaged aircraft requires the use of specialized relocation equipment. A search of existing technologies reveals several patented technologies related to trailers for relocating landing gear malfunctions, but all have technical shortcomings—they are not fast enough, stable enough, or safe enough—and no such products have yet been widely adopted in actual rescue operations. Therefore, there is a need to design a new type of towing device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a trailer-mounted chassis lifting system mechanism for a rapid towing system for damaged aircraft, in order to solve at least one of the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A trailer chassis lifting system mechanism for rapid towing of damaged aircraft includes a vehicle body. The front and rear ends of the vehicle body are respectively provided with liftable drive wheels. The left and right sides of the vehicle body are symmetrically provided with load-bearing wheel lifting structures. Each load-bearing wheel lifting structure includes a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder, a first load-bearing wheel, a second load-bearing wheel, a first rotating bracket, and a second rotating bracket. Both the first and second rotating brackets include a first hinge position, a second hinge position, and a third hinge position arranged in a triangular pattern. The two first hinge positions are rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the two second hinge positions are rotatably connected to the first and second load-bearing wheels, respectively. The first hydraulic cylinder is located between the first hinge position of the first rotating bracket and the third hinge position of the second rotating bracket, and the second hydraulic cylinder is located between the third hinge position of the first rotating bracket and the first hinge position of the second rotating bracket.

[0005] In this technical solution, the front and rear ends of the vehicle body are equipped with liftable drive wheels, and the left and right sides of the vehicle body are symmetrically equipped with lifting structures for load-bearing wheels. The combination of the liftable drive wheels and the lifting structures for load-bearing wheels allows for switching between the use of drive wheels and load-bearing wheels as needed. The drive wheels are easier to control and more flexible during operation, enabling the vehicle body to move more accurately to a suitable position for loading the landing gear. Simultaneously, when the landing gear is loaded onto the vehicle body, due to its weight, lowering the load-bearing wheels and raising the drive wheels allows the load-bearing wheels to act as follow-up wheels under the action of an external trailer, achieving reliable and efficient transfer of the landing gear. When the load-bearing wheels are in the lowered state, the drive wheels are not in contact with the ground, thus the drive wheels do not need to bear the weight of the landing gear, ensuring their service life. When the load-bearing wheels are in the raised state, the drive wheels are in the lowered state and in contact with the ground. Because the drive wheels are smaller than the load-bearing wheels and have a self-drive system, their steering and movement are more flexible, enabling more efficient movement of the vehicle body to a suitable position for loading the landing gear. Specifically, when the landing gear has been installed on the vehicle body and needs to be transferred, the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder simultaneously drive the first rotating support and the second rotating support to rotate around the first hinge position as the fulcrum. Specifically, the first rotating support rotates counterclockwise and the second rotating support rotates clockwise, which realizes the lowering of the first and second load-bearing wheels until the first and second load-bearing wheels lift the vehicle body to a suitable height position. Then, the vehicle body is pulled by an external trailer to realize the transfer of the damaged aircraft. The load-bearing wheels have the functions of bearing weight and following movement, which can work with the external trailer to reliably and efficiently realize the transfer of the damaged aircraft.

[0006] Furthermore, to provide a more convenient first and second rotating bracket for installing the first hydraulic cylinder, the second hydraulic cylinder, the first bearing wheel, and the second bearing wheel, both the first and second rotating brackets include an outer bracket and an inner bracket. A first connecting rod is provided at the first hinge position, a second connecting rod is provided at the second hinge position, and a third connecting rod is provided at the third hinge position. The inner end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the vehicle body. The first bearing wheel and the second bearing wheel are respectively rotatably connected to their respective second connecting rods. One end of the first hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod of the first rotating bracket, and the other end of the first hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod of the second rotating bracket. One end of the second hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod of the second rotating bracket, and the other end of the second hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod of the first rotating bracket.

[0007] Furthermore, in order to achieve a smoother transfer of the landing gear, the vehicle body includes two symmetrically arranged side beams, and the lifting structure of the load-bearing wheel is arranged on the side beams.

[0008] Furthermore, to improve safety during landing gear transfer, the rear end of the side beam is provided with an inclined surface.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to reduce ground friction and make it easier to move the landing gear onto the vehicle body, a hidden compartment is provided on the inclined surface, and the hidden compartment is filled with friction-reducing material.

[0010] Furthermore, to facilitate towing of the device by an external trailer, the front end of the vehicle body is a crossbeam, and a towing hook structure is provided directly in front of the crossbeam.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to provide a passage for the landing gear to move onto the vehicle body while ensuring the structural stability of the vehicle body, the vehicle body is a U-shaped body with a detachable crossbeam at the rear end.

[0012] Furthermore, to facilitate the pulling of the landing gear, the front end of the vehicle body has a winch for pulling the landing gear.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the transfer of the landing gear to a suitable position and then push it toward the rear of the vehicle body via a hydraulic push rod so that the landing gear can be smoothly transferred from the vehicle body to the ground, the vehicle body is provided with a hydraulic push rod that pushes toward the rear of the vehicle body, and the end of the hydraulic push rod is provided with a front push claw that abuts against the landing gear tire.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to provide a specific liftable drive wheel, the drive wheel includes a wheel frame, a drive wheel body, and a telescopic drive rod. The drive wheel body is mounted on the wheel frame, and a connecting plate is provided on the wheel frame. The front end of the connecting plate located at the front end of the vehicle body is hinged to the front end of the vehicle body, and the rear end of the connecting plate located at the rear end of the vehicle body is hinged to the rear end of the vehicle body. The telescopic drive rod is disposed between the vehicle body and the corresponding connecting plate for driving the connecting plate to rotate, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the drive wheel body.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this technical solution, since the front and rear ends of the vehicle body are respectively equipped with liftable drive wheels, and the left and right sides of the vehicle body are symmetrically equipped with load-bearing wheel lifting structures, the liftable drive wheels and load-bearing wheel lifting structures are combined, allowing for switching between the use of drive wheels and load-bearing wheels according to usage needs. The drive wheels are easier to control and more flexible during operation, enabling the vehicle body to move more accurately to a suitable position for loading the landing gear. Simultaneously, when the landing gear is loaded onto the vehicle body, due to its weight, lowering the load-bearing wheels and raising the drive wheels allows the load-bearing wheels to act as follow-up wheels under the action of an external trailer, achieving reliable and efficient transfer of the landing gear. When the load-bearing wheels are in the lowered state, the drive wheels are not in contact with the ground, thus the drive wheels do not need to bear the weight of the landing gear, ensuring the service life of the drive wheels. When the load-bearing wheels are in the raised state, the drive wheels are in the lowered state and in contact with the ground. Since the drive wheels are smaller than the load-bearing wheels and have a self-drive system, their steering and movement are more flexible, enabling more efficient movement of the vehicle body to a position suitable for loading the landing gear. Specifically, when the landing gear has been installed on the vehicle body and needs to be transferred, the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder simultaneously drive the first rotating bracket and the second rotating bracket to rotate around the first hinge position as the fulcrum. Specifically, the first rotating bracket rotates counterclockwise and the second rotating bracket rotates clockwise, which realizes the lowering of the first and second load-bearing wheels until the first and second load-bearing wheels lift the vehicle body to a suitable height position. Then, the vehicle body is pulled by an external trailer to realize the transfer of the landing gear. The load-bearing wheels have the functions of bearing weight and following movement, which can work with the external trailer to reliably and efficiently realize the transfer of the landing gear.

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1: like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a trailer chassis lifting system mechanism for a rapid towing system for damaged aircraft. It includes a vehicle body with liftable drive wheels 22 at both the front and rear ends. The vehicle body has symmetrically arranged load-bearing wheel lifting structures on its left and right sides. Each load-bearing wheel lifting structure includes a first hydraulic cylinder 1, a second hydraulic cylinder 2, a first load-bearing wheel 3, a second load-bearing wheel 4, a first rotating bracket 5, and a second rotating bracket 6. Both the first rotating bracket 5 and the second rotating bracket 6 include a first hinge position 7, a second hinge position 8, and a third hinge position 9 arranged in a triangular pattern. The two first hinge positions 7 are rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the two second hinge positions 8 are rotatably connected to the first load-bearing wheel 3 and the second load-bearing wheel 4, respectively. The first hydraulic cylinder 1 is positioned between the first hinge position 7 of the first rotating bracket 5 and the third hinge position 9 of the second rotating bracket 6, and the second hydraulic cylinder 2 is positioned between the third hinge position 9 of the first rotating bracket 5 and the first hinge position 7 of the second rotating bracket 6. Specifically, the first hydraulic cylinder 1 and the second hydraulic cylinder 2 are arranged in an alternating manner between the first rotating bracket 5 and the second rotating bracket 6.

[0020] In this technical solution, the front and rear ends of the vehicle body are respectively equipped with liftable drive wheels 22, and the left and right sides of the vehicle body are symmetrically equipped with load-bearing wheel lifting structures. The liftable drive wheels 22 and the load-bearing wheel lifting structures are combined, and the use of drive wheels 22 and load-bearing wheels can be switched according to the needs of use. The drive wheels 22 are easy to control and more flexible during the driving process, so that the vehicle body can be moved more accurately to a suitable position for loading the landing gear 12. At the same time, when the landing gear 12 is loaded onto the vehicle body, since the landing gear 12 is relatively heavy, the load-bearing wheels are lowered and the drive wheels 22 are raised. Under the action of the external trailer, the load-bearing wheels act as follow-up wheels, realizing reliable and efficient transfer of the landing gear 12. When the load-bearing wheel is in the lowered state, the drive wheel 22 is not in contact with the ground, so the drive wheel 22 does not need to bear the weight of the landing gear 12, which can ensure the service life of the drive wheel 22. When the load-bearing wheel is in the raised state, the drive wheel 22 is in the lowered state and in contact with the ground. Since the drive wheel 22 is smaller than the load-bearing wheel and has a self-drive system, its steering and movement are more flexible, and it can move the vehicle body to a position that is convenient for loading the landing gear 12 more efficiently. Specifically, when the landing gear 12 has been loaded onto the vehicle body and needs to be transferred, the first hydraulic cylinder 1 and the second hydraulic cylinder 2 simultaneously drive the first rotating support 5 and the second rotating support 6 to rotate around the first hinge position. Specifically, the first rotating support 5 rotates counterclockwise and the second rotating support 6 rotates clockwise, thereby lowering the first bearing wheel 3 and the second bearing wheel 4 until the first bearing wheel 3 and the second bearing wheel 4 raise the vehicle body to a suitable height. Then, the vehicle body is pulled by an external trailer to transfer the landing gear 12. The bearing wheels have the functions of bearing weight and following movement, and can work with the external trailer to reliably and efficiently transfer the landing gear 12.

[0021] The first load-bearing wheel 3 and the second load-bearing wheel 4 mentioned above can be increased or decreased according to the load-bearing requirements.

A first connecting rod is provided at the first hinge position 7, a second connecting rod is provided at the second hinge position 8, and a third connecting rod 14 is provided at the third hinge position 9.
