Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aircraft brakes, and in particular relates to a foot-operated aircraft parking brake mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The foot control device provides the pilot with heading control input. The pedals are used to control the rudder, main wheel brakes and front wheel turning. When the rudder is turned left or right, the left / right pedal shaft is pressed respectively to drive the line system to drive the rudder surface. When the main wheel is braked, the foot pedal is pressed with the toe, and the foot pedal rotates around the pedal shaft to drive the brake rocker arm to transmit the movement to the brake roller. The hydraulic brake valve is compressed by the up and down movement of the brake roller to achieve the purpose of braking.

[0003] The current foot-operated brake mechanism for aircraft has the disadvantages of complex design, heavy weight, and cumbersome debugging and installation. When braking, after stepping on the pedal brake, pull out the brake handle, then release the pedal and put down the brake handle. At this time, the screw contacts the bottom surface of the pin and is stuck in the pin slot to complete the braking. Due to the large number of braking links, it is not easy to coordinate and adjust each link properly, resulting in poor coordination between the brake stroke and the brake pressure installation, easy pressure drop, and poor ground parking brake effect of the aircraft. The height difference between the front and rear extreme positions of the pedal is nearly 110mm, which makes the driver uncomfortable to operate and the human-machine efficiency is poor.
