Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft landing gears, and in particular to a novel electric retractable landing gear mechanism and a control circuit and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, people's living standards are constantly improving, and the requirements for quality of life are also increasing. In order to enrich their daily lives, more and more people are willing to spend time, money and energy on their hobbies. Most of them have a deep interest in various aircraft from all over the world. However, the conditions for observing and feeling various real aircraft on site are very limited. Therefore, various simulation model aircraft have become objects of collection and appreciation, which provides a broad market for various simulation model toys. Simulation model aircraft have gradually penetrated into the lives of the majority of enthusiasts. Consumers' requirements for simulation model aircraft are also getting higher and higher. The current model aircraft are required to be as realistic as possible in both appearance and layout. The landing gear is an indispensable accessory for model aircraft. It is not an easy task to use a landing gear that can be retracted and deployed like a real aircraft on a model aircraft. At present, there are two types of retractable landing gear used in existing model airplanes. The first type is a steering gear stretching retractable landing gear, which is powered by a steering gear and achieves the retraction and extension of the landing gear by stretching a steel wire; the other type of retractable landing gear is a pneumatic retractable landing gear, which uses a gas bottle (or cylinder) to transmit power through the control of various gas valves to achieve the retraction and extension of the landing gear. The applicant has been committed to the research and development of simulation model airplanes. For the structure of the landing gear, the applicant has applied for CN210044858U and CN209984938U, but the above landing gear has the following defects: 1. The existing landing gear structure makes the overall thickness of the landing gear relatively thick. When installed on the wing, the wing needs to be made thicker, which increases the weight of the aircraft. 2. The processing accuracy of aircraft landing gear is high, and any slight dimensional deviation will cause the landing gear to loosen; 3. After the landing gear is used for a long time, a gap is easily generated between the landing gear rotating part and the limit structure, causing the landing gear to shake; Therefore, we need to propose a new type of electric retractable landing gear mechanism and its control circuit and use method, which has high structural strength, low processing precision requirements and strong stability.
