TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aircraft design, in particular to a device capable of testing the locking force and the turning rate of the main wheel turning system of an aircraft and a related testing method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The main wheel turning system of an aircraft can provide lateral force for the turning of the aircraft to reduce the turning radius of the aircraft on the ground and reduce the wear of the tires of the aircraft. The locking function of the main wheel turning system of the aircraft can ensure that the main wheel of the aircraft does not turn when the main wheel turning system of the aircraft is not working, thereby preventing the aircraft from deviating. In addition, the turning rate of the main wheel turning system of the aircraft needs to match the turning rate of the nose wheel turning system to improve the turning efficiency of the aircraft. Therefore, after the design of the main wheel turning system of the aircraft is completed, the locking force and the turning rate of the main wheel turning system of the aircraft need to be tested to ensure that the main wheel turning system of the aircraft can work safely, reliably and efficiently.
[0003] After searching, the invention with the publication number CN110470464A proposes a main wheel turning ground control moment measuring device, which is characterized by including a support base, a torque sensor vertically installed on the support base, a ground simulation platform horizontally installed on the top of the support base through a rotary bearing, the torque sensor and the ground simulation platform are connected through a torque pin, and the support base and the inner ring of the rotary bearing are fixedly connected, the ground simulation platform and the outer ring of the rotary bearing are fixedly connected, so that the ground simulation platform can rotate relative to the support base. The invention can accurately measure the torsional moment under the coupling of many influencing factors such as different load distribution, tire pressure and tire-ground relative friction, solves the limitations of force sensor torque measurement, and reduces the influence of additional factors such as transmission and friction loss on the test results. However, the invention can only be used to measure the main wheel turning ground control moment, cannot measure the maximum locking moment of the main wheel turning system of the aircraft, and cannot accurately measure the turning speed under the set moment.

[0009] When the maximum load moment of the main wheel turning system to be tested is M max , L satisfies the following formula:
[0010]
[0011] The rotation center coincides with the center of the hinged joint between the turning system support and the turning shaft.

[0015] The test using the test device provided by the application includes testing the locking force of the airplane main wheel turning system and obtaining the turning speed of the airplane main wheel turning system under load; the specific process is as follows:
[0016] I. Testing the locking force of the airplane main wheel turning system
[0017] The locking force of the airplane main wheel turning system includes maximum pressure locking force F1 and maximum tension locking force F2.
[0018] I. Testing the maximum pressure locking force
[0019] Step 1: Setting test parameters
[0020] The test parameters include the load moment required to be borne by the airplane main wheel turning system, the horizontal distance between the hinge joint and the turning shaft rotation center, and the initial included angle between the turning actuating system and the turning shaft.
[0021] The load moment required to be borne by the airplane main wheel turning system is set as M1, the horizontal distance between the hinge joint and the turning shaft rotation center is L, and the initial included angle between the turning actuating system and the turning shaft is α.
[0022] Step 2: Installing the first loading point
[0023] The first loading point formed by the hinge joint and the hinge lug is located close to the hydraulic source side.
[0024] The center distance between the first loading point and the turning shaft rotation center is L=0.5 m,
[0025] Step 3: Loading test

[0027] The displacement amount of the turning actuating system is obtained through the displacement sensor in the turning actuating system.
[0028] If the displacement measured by the turning actuation system is > 0, it is considered that the current set load force F1 exceeds the limit capacity of the turning actuation system 13. Reduce the load force F1 by 10% and return to step 2 to reload. Until the displacement measured by the turning actuation system is ≤ 0;
[0029] If the displacement measured by the turning actuation system is ≤ 0, record the load force applied by the current test bench. The load force applied by the current test bench is the maximum pressure locking force.
[0030] ⅱTest of the maximum tensile locking force
[0031] Step 1, set the load moment required to be borne by the aircraft main wheel turning system, the horizontal distance between the hinge joint and the turning shaft rotation center, and the initial angle between the turning actuation system and the turning shaft. The load moment required to be borne by the aircraft main wheel turning system, the horizontal distance between the hinge joint and the turning shaft rotation center, and the initial angle between the turning actuation system and the turning shaft in the test of the maximum tensile locking force are the same as those in the test of the maximum pressure locking force.
[0032] Step 2, install the second loading point
[0033] Remove the hinge joint forming the first loading point and install it at a symmetrical position on the other side of the turning shaft rotation center to form the second loading point. The second loading point is located near the upper side of the test bench. The center distance between the second loading point and the turning shaft rotation center is L = 0.5 m.
[0034] Step 3, load test
[0035] Set the loading instruction of the loading force F2 through the upper machine of the test bench and output the loading force F2 through the test bench cable control hydraulic cylinder. Maintain the current loading force F2 and continuously output for T hours.
[0036] Obtain the displacement of the turning actuation system through the displacement sensor in the turning actuation system.
[0037] If the displacement measured by the turning actuation system is > 0, it is considered that the current set load force F2 exceeds the limit capacity of the turning actuation system. Reduce the load force F2 by 10% and return to step 2 to reload; until the displacement obtained is ≤ 0;
[0038] If the displacement measured by the turning actuation system is ≤ 0, record the load force applied by the current test bench. The load force applied by the current test bench is the maximum tensile locking force.
[0039] At this point, the test of the pressure locking force and the tensile locking force of the aircraft brake system is completed, and the maximum pressure locking force and the maximum tensile locking force of the aircraft brake system are obtained.
[0040] ⅡObtain the turning rate of the aircraft main wheel turning system under load
[0041] The airplane main wheel turning system turning rate under load includes airplane brake system clockwise turning rate V1 and airplane brake system counterclockwise turning rate V2.
[0042] According to the designed test outline, the turning direction of the airplane main wheel turning system is selected as clockwise turning or counterclockwise turning. When the turning direction of the airplane main wheel turning system is clockwise turning, the clockwise turning rate is obtained; otherwise, the counterclockwise turning rate is obtained.
[0043] If the clockwise turning rate of the airplane main wheel turning system is selected to be tested, go to step i;
[0044] If the counterclockwise turning rate of the airplane main wheel turning system is selected to be tested, go to step ii;
[0045] iObtain the airplane brake system clockwise turning rate, and the specific process is
[0046] Step 1: Set test parameters
[0047] The test parameters include the load moment M2 required to be borne by the airplane main wheel turning system and the horizontal distance L between the hinge joint and the turning shaft rotation center.
[0048] When the airplane brake system clockwise turning rate is obtained, the load moment M2 required to be borne by the airplane main wheel turning system is set; the horizontal distance L between the hinge joint and the turning shaft rotation center is set as 0.5 m.
[0049] Step 2, install the first loading point:
[0050] The first loading point formed by the hinge joint and the hinge ear is located close to the hydraulic source side. The center distance between the first loading point and the turning shaft rotation center is L;
[0051] Step 3, load test:
[0052] The host computer of the test bench sets the loading instruction of the loading force F3, and controls the hydraulic cylinder to output the loading force F3 through the test bench cable.
[0053] The host computer of the control system sends an instruction to the turning actuation system 13 to make the turning shaft turn clockwise; the turning angle of the turning shaft is β1. The turning angle β1≤β max .
[0054] The airplane main wheel turning system turns clockwise; the host computer of the test bench records the displacement Z1 measured by the displacement sensor in the hydraulic cylinder.
[0055] Step 4, determine the airplane brake system clockwise turning rate V1:
[0056] Based on the displacement Z1 measured by the displacement sensor in the hydraulic cylinder, the formula β is used. m1 =arcsin(Z1 / L) gives the clockwise turning angle β of the aircraft braking system. m1 The curve that changes over time is used to calculate the aircraft's clockwise turn rate. This is achieved using the formula V1 = Δβ. m1 / Δt1 gives the clockwise turning rate of the aircraft braking system; where V1 is the clockwise turning rate; Δβ m1 It is the change in the turning angle over a time period Δt1 when turning clockwise.
[0057] ii. Obtaining the counter-clockwise turning rate of the aircraft braking system, the specific process is as follows:
[0058] Step 1: Set the test parameters
[0059] The test parameters include the load torque M2 that the aircraft's main wheel steering system needs to withstand and the horizontal distance between the hinge joint and the center of rotation of the steering shaft. The test parameters set are the same as those used to obtain the clockwise turning rate of the aircraft's braking system.
[0060] Step 2, Install the second loading point:
[0061] The second loading point, formed by the hinge joint and the hinge lug, is located near the host computer 1 on the test bench. The center distance between this second loading point and the center of rotation of the turning shaft is L = 0.5m.
[0062] Step 3, Loading the experiment:
[0063] The host computer on the test bench sets a loading command of F3, and controls the hydraulic cylinder to output the loading force F3 through the test bench cable.
[0064] The control system's host computer sends a command to the turning axle to rotate counterclockwise; the rotation angle of the turning axle is β2. This rotation angle must satisfy β2 ≤ β max .
[0065] The aircraft's main wheel turning system rotates counterclockwise; the host computer on the test bench records the displacement Z2 measured by the displacement sensor in the hydraulic cylinder.
[0066] Step 4, determine the counterclockwise turning rate V2 of the aircraft braking system:
[0067] Based on the displacement Z2 measured by the displacement sensor in the hydraulic cylinder, the formula β is used. m2 =arcsin(Z2 / L) gives the counterclockwise turning angle β of the aircraft braking system. m2 The curve varying with time is used to calculate the aircraft's counter-clockwise turn rate. This is achieved using the formula V² = Δβ. m2 / Delta t2 gets the clockwise turning rate of the airplane brake system; in the formula, V1 is the clockwise turning rate; Delta beta m2 is the change amount of the turning angle in a period of time Delta t2 when turning counterclockwise.
[0068] At this point, the clockwise turning rate and the counterclockwise turning rate of the airplane brake system are tested, and the clockwise turning rate V1 of the airplane brake system and the counterclockwise turning rate V2 of the airplane brake system are obtained.
[0069] The test device and the test method can accurately measure the locking force of the main wheel turning system and the turning rate of the airplane main wheel turning system under different loads.
[0070] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0071] The present application provides a test device for the airplane main wheel turning system, a method for accurately measuring the locking force of the airplane main wheel turning system, and a method for testing the turning rate of the airplane main wheel turning system under different loads.
[0072] The test device for the airplane main wheel turning system only needs to add loading points on the conventional loading test bench, and by switching the added loading points, the clockwise rotation loading and the counterclockwise rotation loading of the main wheel turning system are realized, and the loading mode of the conventional loading test bench is expanded.
[0073] The present application adds loading points at a distance L from the center of rotation of the turning shaft, and the distance L is calculated according to formula (1) according to different test requirements. The proposed airplane main wheel turning system locking force test method can test the maximum pressure and tension locking force of the airplane main wheel turning system according to the flowchart shown in Figure 2 The test effect of the proposed airplane main wheel turning system turning rate test method is shown in Figure 8 The main wheel turning system rotates 8° in 2 seconds, and the turning rate is 4° / s.

The set test parameters are the same as those when obtaining the clockwise turning speed of the airplane brake system.
[0146] Step 2, install the second loading point:

[0148] Step 3, load test:
[0149] The test bench host computer 1 sets the loading instruction of the loading force F3, and controls the hydraulic cylinder 9 to output the loading force F3 through the test bench cable 11.
[0150] The host computer 18 of the control system sends a counterclockwise rotation instruction to the turning actuating system 13; the rotation angle of the turning shaft of the airplane brake system when turning counterclockwise is β 2; The rotation angle β2≤β max In this embodiment, β2=8°
[0151] The airplane main wheel turning system turns counterclockwise; the host computer 1 of the test bed records the displacement Z2 measured by the displacement sensor in the hydraulic cylinder 9
[0152] Step 4: Determine the counterclockwise turning rate V2 of the airplane brake system:
[0153] According to the displacement Z2 measured by the displacement sensor in the hydraulic cylinder 9, the counterclockwise turning angle β of the airplane brake system is obtained by the formula β m2 =arcsin(Z2 / L) m2 The curve of the change over time is used to calculate the counterclockwise turning rate of the airplane; the counterclockwise turning rate of the airplane brake system is obtained by the formula V2=Δβ m2 / Δt2; in the formula, V2 is the counterclockwise turning rate; Δβ m2 is the change amount of the turning angle in a period of time Δt2 when turning counterclockwise.
[0154] In this embodiment, the counterclockwise turning rate V2=Δβ m2 / Δt2=4° / s.
[0155] Thus, the test of the clockwise and counterclockwise turning rates of the airplane brake system with load is completed, and the clockwise turning rate V1 of the airplane brake system and the counterclockwise turning rate V2 of the airplane brake system are obtained.
