[0047] The present invention provides a quick-release aircraft door hinge mechanism. This mechanism combines normal hinge functions with quick-release capabilities. It is primarily used for general-purpose aircraft conducting high-risk tests such as spin tests and stall characteristics, but can also be used on aircraft in normal use.

[0048] In the event of an emergency, such as an accidental bird strike or an inability to recover from a spin, the pilot needs to make a quick decision and parachute to escape. However, the forward-opening door is difficult to open normally due to airflow. Without other measures, the pilot will lose the best time to parachute, resulting in unnecessary losses.

[0049] The present invention provides a door hinge mechanism that, in addition to its normal hinge functions, also features a quick-release feature. This feature allows the door to be quickly released by operating a pull-wire handle. Airflow or a forceful push from the pilot can allow the door to be quickly discarded, allowing the pilot to quickly escape. The production equipment used to complete the present invention primarily utilizes CNC machine tools, which offer high precision and consistent product quality. Special processing equipment is not required to complete the present invention.

[0050] like Figure 1-6As shown, the present invention discloses a hinge mechanism for quickly disengaging an aircraft door. The mechanism consists of two hinge mechanisms, the upper and lower parts, and the two parts have the same structure. It mainly consists of a hinge seat 1, a hinge shaft 2, a base 3, a hinge limit block 4, a limit block 9, a steel cable 11, a first spring 5, a steel cable connector 6, a second spring 7, a pulley 15, a pulley bracket 12, and a pulley shaft 14. The hinge seat 1 and the hinge shaft 2 are made of stainless steel 0Cr18Ni9 (304), the steel cable 11 is made of stainless steel 304, the first spring 5 and the second spring 7 are standard parts, and the remaining structural parts are made of aluminum alloy 7075-T7351 and are all machined.

[0051] Hinge base 1 is connected to the aircraft cabin door via hinge shaft 2 and to the fuselage via hinge stopper 4. A square slot is defined in base 3 to prevent hinge base 1 from rotating. Base 3 is screwed to the fuselage skin. Stopper 9 is connected to base 3 via first screw 8, primarily to limit the movement of hinge stopper 4. A cable connector 6 has one end screwed to hinge stopper 4 and the other end connected to cable 11 via second screw 10. A spring supports hinge stopper 4 and base 3, securing hinge stopper 4 in place. Upper and lower cable connectors 6 are connected by screws and cable 11. Two pulley blocks are located near these two cable connectors. These pulley blocks ensure that when the middle cable 11 is pulled, the force applied to the upper and lower cable connectors 6 is axial, aligning with the direction of motion. This minimizes resistance and facilitates the disengagement of hinge stopper 4 from hinge base 1, thereby enabling rapid door detachment.

[0052] Specifically, the base 3 includes a vertical support plate and a first support plate 33, a second support plate 34 and a third support plate 35 connected to the vertical support plate from top to bottom. The first support plate 33, the second support plate 34 and the third support plate 35 are respectively provided with a first through hole, a second through hole and a third through hole, and the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole are coaxial; the vertical support plate is provided with a first through slot 31 and a second through slot 32, the first through slot 31 is located between the first support plate 33 and the second support plate 34, and the second through slot 32 is located between the second support plate 34 and the third support plate 35.

[0053] A first protrusion 101 is provided on the middle part of one side of the main body of the hinge seat 1 close to the base 3. The first protrusion 101 is inserted into the first through groove 31 and passes through it. A fourth through hole 102 is provided on the end of the first protrusion 101 that passes through the first through groove 31. The fourth through hole 102 is coaxial with the first through hole and the second through hole, and the fourth through hole 102 is located between the first through hole and the second through hole.

[0054] The main body of the steel cable connector 6 and the first spring 5 are both located between the second support plate 34 and the third support plate 35. One end of the steel cable connector 6 is threadedly connected to the hinge limit block 4, and the other end passes through the third through hole and is connected to the connecting mechanism, which is located between the upper and lower bases 3.

[0055] The hinge stopper 4 includes a main structure 41 and a protrusion 42 connected to the main structure 41. The protrusion 42 is inserted into the second through-slot 32 and can move up and down within the second through-slot 32. One side of the main structure 41 is sequentially inserted into the second through-hole, the fourth through-hole 102, and the first through-hole from bottom to top. A threaded hole is defined in the middle of the other side for threaded connection with one end of the cable connector 6. The hinge stopper 4 is inserted into the fourth through-hole 102, the second through-hole, and the first through-hole of the hinge base 1, and the first spring 5 is compressed to push the hinge stopper 4 in the opposite direction, thereby achieving a locked connection between the hinge base 1 and the base 3.

[0056] A second protrusion is provided on the main body of the hinge seat 1 near the base 3. A second spring 7 is sleeved on the second protrusion. One end of the second spring 7 is connected to the main body of the hinge seat 1 and is compressed between the hinge seat 1 and the fuselage.

[0057] A limit block 9 is provided below the second through slot 32 . The limit block 9 is connected to the vertical support plate of the base 3 via a first screw 8 and is used to limit the movement of the protrusion 42 .

[0058] The main structure 41 of the hinge limiting block 4 is a square structure, and the first through hole, the second through hole and the fourth through hole 102 are square through holes.

[0059] Two coaxial through holes are formed on the main body of the hinge seat 1 on a side away from the base 3 , the hinge shaft 2 passes through the two through holes, and the end of the hinge shaft 2 passing through the through holes is connected to a second cotter pin 16 .

[0060] Both ends of the steel cable 11 are connected to the upper and lower steel cable connectors 6 via second screws 10 .

[0061] Two pulley blocks of identical structure and symmetrical arrangement are provided near the upper and lower cable connectors 6. The pulley blocks include a pulley bracket 12, a first cotter pin 13, a pulley shaft 14, and a pulley 15. The pulley bracket 12 is connected to the body via screws, and the pulley 15 is connected to the pulley bracket 12 via the pulley shaft 14. The pulley bracket 12 has two mounting holes, with the pulley 15 located between the two mounting holes. The pulley shaft 14 extends through the pulley 15 and the two mounting holes, and one end of the pulley shaft 14 extending through the mounting holes is connected to the first cotter pin 13. A storage space is provided between the pulley 15 and the body of the pulley bracket 12, through which the steel cable 11 extends.

[0062] When the steel cable 11 between the two pulley blocks is pulled, the upper and lower steel cable connectors 6 are pulled through the steel cable 11, and the two steel cable connectors 6 move toward each other. The two steel cable connectors 6 respectively drive the two hinge stoppers 4 to move, and the hinge stoppers 4 move in the direction away from the first through hole. At the same time, the protrusion 42 of each hinge stopper 4 moves along the corresponding second through slot 32. During the movement of the hinge stopper 4, the first spring 5 is continuously compressed, and the hinge stopper 4 gradually disengages from the first through hole and the fourth through hole 102 in sequence, thereby disengaging the hinge stopper 4 from the hinge seat 1. After the hinge seat 1 is disengaged from the hinge stopper 4, the second spring 7 applies a thrust to the hinge seat 1 under the action of elastic recovery, pushing the hinge seat 1 out, and the first protrusion 101 of the hinge seat 1 disengages from the first through slot 31, that is, the upper and lower hinge seats 1 and the hatch are quickly disengaged. Afterwards, the pilot releases the steel cable 11 , and the hinge limit block 4 can be reset under the elastic recovery action of the first spring 5 , and the hinge limit block 4 can be reinserted into the second through hole and the first through hole.

[0063] The present invention requires protection for a detachable hinge mechanism, which has the following main design advantages:

[0064] (1) The hinge seat is detachable. The hinge seat is connected to the base through a hinge limit block. The hinge limit block is a square structure. In this way, the hinge seat will be fixed and cannot rotate, ensuring that the hinge axis is fixed and the hatch can be used normally.

[0065] (2) High reliability disengagement mechanism. The upper and lower hinge mechanisms are installed in opposite directions. The spring in the steel cable connector pushes the hinge limit block in opposite directions. The two hinge mechanisms are connected by a steel cable. When the steel cable is stressed, it drives the hinge limit block to move. The hinge limit block compresses the spring. When the hinge limit block is disengaged from the hinge seat, the compression spring on the hinge seat will push the hinge seat out. At this time, even if the pilot releases the steel cable, the hinge limit block will not pass through the hole on the hinge seat to fix the hinge seat again. The disengagement mechanism is safe and reliable.

[0066] (3) Single-point unlocking. This mechanism has a single-point unlocking function that is easy to operate. The door can be separated from the fuselage by simply pulling the middle part of the steel cable. No additional operating steps are required, ensuring that the pilot can evacuate quickly in an emergency.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
