Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aerospace technology, and particularly to a bifurcated test device and method for a landing gear over-center mechanism based on control continuation. Background Art
[0002] The strut-type locking mechanism is the key to ensuring that the landing gear is locked in the lowered position and can stably carry loads. Among many landing gear retraction and extension failures, a considerable part is caused by locking mechanism failures. As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the strut-type locking mechanism consists of two locking link rods hinged to each other, a locking spring, and a locking actuator. When studying its motion mechanism alone, it can be simplified as an over-center mechanism for analysis. At the moment when the landing gear is approaching the upper lock, the locking mechanism will instantaneously jump from an unstable state to a locked stable state. The unlocking process is the opposite. Such a phenomenon cannot be explained solely based on the results of experiments and simulations. According to the explanation of bifurcation theory, bifurcation occurs at the moment when the locking mechanism becomes unstable. Therefore, the critical point at which this bifurcation occurs is of great engineering design value for the locking mechanism.
[0003] Currently, the research on the stability of landing gear locking mechanisms using bifurcation theory mainly adopts the numerical continuation method. This method starts from the equilibrium solutions of known non-linear ordinary differential equations and extends the trajectory curves of all equilibrium solutions as the selected parameters change to find the bifurcation points. Using the numerical continuation method to solve the over-center mechanism, an S-shaped curve is obtained. On the stable region solution, even with small perturbations, the mechanism still converges to the stable angle; while within the unstable region solution, once any small perturbation appears, this unstable solution will immediately jump to the stable solution region. A saddle-node bifurcation occurs at the critical points between the stable region and the unstable region, which essentially clarifies the unstable jump problem of the strut-type locking mechanism and can quickly find the variation law of the stable motion trajectory within the entire range affected by multiple parameters, providing a practical and effective theoretical basis and design method for the parameter design of the landing gear mechanism.
[0004] However, the existing analysis methods only focus on rigid bodies and ideal hinges. When considering the effects of structural clearances, assembly deviations, and structural deformations, it is difficult to establish an accurate mathematical model, resulting in a difference between the theoretical model and the actual situation. Traditional test methods can only observe the jumping phenomenon through a high-speed camera but cannot obtain the bifurcation point position and the unstable branch. Summary of the Invention

A method for conducting a bifurcation test on a landing gear over-center mechanism based on control extension, characterized in that Using the landing gear over-center mechanism bifurcation test device based on control continuation according to any one of claims 1 to 7, comprising the following steps: S1: Turn on the PLC control cabinet, so that the over-center mechanism formed by the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod rotates under the drive of the servo motor, and remains balanced at each angle within a specified angle range, record the magnitude of the torque required for the over-center mechanism to remain balanced at each angle, and extend the change trajectory line of the balance torque of the over-center mechanism with the mechanism angle; S2: Adjust the control program. After the over-center mechanism remains balanced at a specified angle, turn off the angle control, apply the balance torque corresponding to the angle, and observe the movement of the over-center mechanism; S3: Repeat step S2 within the specified angle range; S4: Adjust the control program. After the over-center mechanism remains balanced at a specified angle, turn off the angle control, apply a constant force other than the balance torque, and record the movement of the over-center mechanism at different release positions and different speeds; S5: By adjusting the original length of the tension spring, the stiffness of the tension spring, the installation position of the tension spring, the installation position of the counterweight, the diameter of the pin shaft at the connection of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, the installation position of the bottom plate, and the installation height of the guide rail plate, and then repeat S1 - S4 to conduct tests under different working conditions.
