Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of landing gear design, and particularly relates to a landing gear triggering a wheel load signal and a state management system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The airplane / helicopter grounding signal is an important signal in the flight process. Generally, the landing gear system is the only part of the whole machine in contact with the ground, and the wheel load signal is an important signal source in the flight process of the airplane / helicopter. The flight control system, avionics system and other subsystems judge the position of the airplane at the moment by collecting the wheel load signal. How to accurately collect the wheel load signal and how to design the triggering mode of the wheel load 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-twist arm, as shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 When the airplane lands, the buffer overcomes the oil damping force and the air spring force to compress, the anti-twist arm rotates relatively, the wheel load signal micro switch contacts or separates from the trigger piece, and the circuit is turned on or off to judge whether the landing gear is grounded. The disadvantage of this method is that the landing gear needs to overcome a larger force, the anti-twist arm needs to have a larger angle change, and the corresponding buffer needs to have a larger compression amount to trigger the wheel load signal micro switch, so the sensitivity is poor. In addition, the wheel load signal micro switch is often installed outside the fuselage, which is easily affected by the external environment. During the working process of the landing gear, the sensor and the anti-twist arm rotate relatively, which causes wear and other reliability problems after long-term use.

[0004] The existing technology sets the wheel load signal on the buffer strut, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 2 It designs a complex mechanism to realize this function. First, the vertical displacement is converted to the horizontal direction through the trigger mechanism, and then the horizontal displacement is converted to the vertical direction through the rocker arm. The disadvantage is that the structure is complex and not easy to implement, and it is not suitable for installing multiple micro switches. SUMMARY
