Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of landing gear design, and in particular relates to a landing gear and a state management system for triggering a wheel load signal. Background Art

[0002] The aircraft / helicopter ground signal is an important signal during the flight. Generally speaking, the landing gear system is the only part of the entire aircraft that is in contact with the ground. The wheel-borne signal is an important signal source during the flight of the aircraft / helicopter. The flight control system, avionics system and other subsystems determine the current position of the aircraft by collecting wheel-borne signals. How to accurately collect wheel-borne signals and how to design the triggering method of the wheel-borne signal micro switch are important contents in the design of the landing gear.

[0003] The wheel-load signal micro switch of the traditional landing gear is generally installed on the anti-torsion arm, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, when the aircraft lands, the buffer overcomes the oil damping force and the air spring force, the anti-torsion arm rotates relatively, the wheel-loaded signal micro switch contacts or disengages from the trigger plate, and the circuit is turned on and off to determine whether the landing gear is grounded. The disadvantage of this method is that the landing gear needs to overcome a large force, the anti-torsion arm needs to have a large angle change, and the corresponding buffer has a large compression amount to trigger the wheel-loaded signal micro switch, and the sensitivity is poor. In addition, the wheel-loaded signal micro switch is often installed on the outside of the fuselage and is easily affected by the external environment. During the operation of the landing gear, the sensor and the anti-torsion arm rotate relative to each other, and long-term use brings reliability problems such as wear.

[0004] The prior art method of setting the wheel load signal on the buffer support is shown in Figure 2 A complex mechanism was designed to achieve this function. First, the vertical displacement was converted to the horizontal direction through the trigger mechanism, and then the horizontal displacement was transferred to the vertical direction through the rocker arm. The disadvantage is that the structure is complex and difficult to implement, and it is not suitable for installing multiple micro switches. Summary of the invention

The landing gear according to claim 6, characterized in that: The preload K2 of the second spring (53) satisfies: Wherein, n is the maximum downward overload coefficient during flight, N is the ground load, A is the internal cross-sectional area of ​​the second outer cylinder (56), u is the friction coefficient, m is the mass of the plunger (20), and f is the friction force between the sealing ring (21) and the plunger (20); when landing, when the ground load When the second micro switch (51) is triggered.

8. The landing gear according to claim 2 or 5, characterized in that: The first trigger mechanism comprises two first micro switches (1), and the second trigger mechanism of each main landing gear comprises two second micro switches (51). The take-off signal / grounding signal of the aircraft / helicopter is executed by majority voting: if more than half of the micro switches (1) send the take-off signal to the electromechanical management computer, it is judged that the aircraft is in the take-off state at this time; if more than half of the micro switches (1) send the grounding signal to the electromechanical management computer, it is judged that the aircraft is in the grounding state at this time.

9. A state management system, characterized in that: The invention comprises a landing gear for triggering a wheel-borne signal as described in any one of claims 1 to 8, and an electromechanical management computer.
