The active cylinder Ⅰ includes an active cylinder end cover assembly 1, an active cylinder outer cylinder assembly 3, an active cylinder piston rod assembly 5, and an active cylinder earring bolt assembly 6, wherein the active cylinder end cover assembly 1, the active cylinder outer cylinder assembly 3, and the active cylinder piston rod assembly 5 cooperate to form an extension and retraction locking assembly; the active cylinder end cover assembly 1 is provided with an extension oil inlet; the active cylinder outer cylinder assembly 3 is provided with a retraction oil inlet; the specific structure of the active cylinder Ⅰ and the extension and retraction locking assembly provided in the active cylinder Ⅰ is the same as that in the prior art announcement number: CN1 The actuator structure disclosed in the Chinese invention patent 04500501B "Hydraulic floating snap ring lock" is the same. The actuator involved in the invention is mainly composed of "spring seat, first spring, support seat, actuator end cover, first gasket, snap ring seat, second gasket, actuator outer cylinder, retainer, first spring coil, floating slider group, spring group, floating piston, second spring coil, piston rod". Since the working principle has been described in detail in the invention, those skilled in the art can fully understand the present case based on the mentioned prior art, so the principle will not be repeated.

[0033] The control assembly includes a conduit assembly 2 and a one-way valve body 4. The conduit assembly 2 includes a three-way nozzle 103, a first conduit 201, and a second conduit 202. The three-way nozzle 103 is connected to the first conduit 201, and the first conduit 201 is connected to the second conduit 202 through the one-way valve body 4; the second conduit 202 is connected to the extended oil inlet on the active cylinder end cover assembly 1; the follower cylinder II includes a follower cylinder end cover assembly 7, a follower cylinder extension lock assembly 8, a follower cylinder outer cylinder assembly 9, The follower cylinder piston rod assembly 10, the follower cylinder earring bolt assembly 11, the follower cylinder outer cylinder assembly 9 includes a follower cylinder outer cylinder 901, the follower cylinder outer cylinder 901 is provided with a follower cylinder extension nozzle 902, the follower cylinder extension nozzle 902 is connected to the three-way nozzle 103; the oil supply and return system 12, the oil supply and return system 12 is provided with an extension oil pipe and a retraction oil pipe, the extension oil pipe is connected to the three-way nozzle 103, and the retraction oil pipe is connected to the retraction oil inlet on the active cylinder outer cylinder assembly 3.

[0034] The active cylinder I and the follower cylinder II are arranged in the same direction, and the active cylinder end cover assembly 1 and the follower cylinder end cover assembly 7 as well as the active cylinder earring bolt assembly 6 and the follower cylinder earring bolt assembly 11 are all connected by a connecting rod; the one-way valve body 4 starts to conduct after the oil pressure in the extending oil pipe of the oil supply and return system 12 reaches the preset oil pressure A; the follower cylinder extension lock assembly 8 is unlocked after reaching the preset oil pressure B; the preset oil pressure A is greater than the preset oil pressure B.

[0035] Based on the above system, a double actuator retraction method for landing gear retraction is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0036] Step S1, using the oil supply and return system 12 to pump the hydraulic oil out from the retraction oil pipe, at this time the hydraulic oil is directly injected into the active cylinder I, the active cylinder piston rod assembly 5 and the active cylinder earring bolt assembly 6 begin to drive the follower cylinder piston rod assembly 10 and the follower cylinder earring bolt assembly 11 to retract synchronously through the connecting rod, at this time the landing gear is lowered to perform the support operation;

[0037] Step S2, using the oil supply and return system 12 to pump the hydraulic oil out from the extended oil pipe, and then part of the hydraulic oil is directly injected into the follower cylinder II from the follower cylinder extended nozzle 902 through the three-way nozzle 103, and the other part of the hydraulic oil flows through the control component and is injected into the active cylinder I;

[0038] Step S3, since the preset oil pressure A required for conducting the one-way valve body 4 is greater than the preset oil pressure B for unlocking the follower cylinder extension lock assembly 8, as the oil pressure increases to the preset oil pressure B, the follower cylinder extension lock assembly 8 is first unlocked, and then the oil pressure continues to increase. When the oil pressure reaches the preset oil pressure A, the hydraulic oil begins to enter the active cylinder I through the one-way valve body 4; since the unlocking oil pressure of the extension and retraction locking assembly in the active cylinder I is not much different from the preset oil pressure B, the extension and retraction locking assembly will also be unlocked immediately, and the active cylinder piston rod assembly 5 and the active cylinder earring bolt assembly 6 are extended, and at the same time, the active cylinder earring bolt assembly 6 drives the follower cylinder piston rod assembly 10 and the follower cylinder earring bolt assembly 11 to extend synchronously through the connecting rod, so that the landing gear is retracted.

[0039] By setting the follower cylinder II to assist the main cylinder I in extending and retracting, the supporting strength is improved and the space occupied is reduced; by setting the one-way valve body 4, the oil circuit between the main cylinder I and the follower cylinder II can be cross-linked, so that the unlocking sequence of the main cylinder I and the follower cylinder II can be controlled, and there is no need to disassemble the main cylinder or the follower cylinder to adjust the unlocking pressure inside, thereby avoiding the situation where the main cylinder I and the follower cylinder II are extended in a disordered order, reducing the control difficulty and reducing the failure rate of the hydraulic control system.

[0040] Embodiment 2:

[0041] This embodiment further expands the one-way valve body 4 on the basis of the above embodiment. Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the one-way valve body 4 includes a valve body 401 and a valve cover 402 installed at both ends of the valve body 401 through a valve group seal 409, the valve body 401 is provided with an oil inlet hole 4011 and an oil return hole 4014, the oil inlet hole 4011 is provided with a first valve core mounting hole 4012, and the oil return hole 4014 is provided with a second valve core mounting hole 4013; the first valve core mounting hole 4012 and the second valve core mounting hole 4013 are both installed with a screw plug 403 and a valve stem 404, the valve stem 404 is slidably connected to the screw plug 403, the first valve group spring 405 and the first valve core 406 are also installed on the first valve core mounting hole 4012, the The first valve core 406 is connected to the valve stem 404 on the first valve core mounting hole 4012, the first valve group spring 405 is arranged between the first valve core 406 and the screw plug 403, and the screw plug 403 on the first valve core mounting hole 4012 is used to limit the first valve group spring 405; the second valve core 407 and the second valve group spring 408 are also installed on the second valve core mounting hole 4013, the second valve core 407 is connected to the valve stem 404 on the second valve core mounting hole 4013, the second valve group spring 408 is arranged between the second valve core 407 and the screw plug 403, and the screw plug 403 on the second valve core mounting hole 4013 is used to limit the second valve group spring 408.

[0042] When the active cylinder piston rod assembly 5 needs to be extended, the hydraulic oil is pumped into the one-way valve body 4. At this time, the hydraulic oil first enters the oil inlet hole 4011 and the second valve core mounting hole 4013. At this time, the second valve core 407 will block the oil return hole 4014 under the push of the oil, and the first valve core 406 will block the oil inlet hole 4011 under the action of the first valve group spring 405. When the oil pressure is greater than the preset oil pressure A, the hydraulic oil overcomes the elastic force of the first valve group spring 405 to push the first valve core 406. The hydraulic oil flows out from the first valve core mounting hole 4012, and then flows into the second conduit 202 through the valve cover 402 on this side, and then enters the active cylinder I.

[0043] When the active cylinder piston rod assembly 5 needs to be retracted, the hydraulic oil flows out from the active cylinder I. At this time, the hydraulic oil first enters the first valve core mounting hole 4012 and the oil return hole 4014 through the valve cover 402. The hydraulic oil is blocked by the first valve core 406 in the first valve core mounting hole 4012, and can overcome the elastic force of the second valve group spring 408 in the oil return hole 4014 to push open the second valve core 407, and then flows out from the second valve core mounting hole 4013, and then flows back to the oil supply and return system 12.

[0044] Through the above arrangement, it is possible to ensure that the hydraulic oil pressure is greater than the preset oil pressure A when the hydraulic oil is pumped into the active cylinder I. The preset oil pressure A can be changed by replacing the first valve group spring 405 of different specifications; and when the hydraulic oil flows back to the oil supply and return system 12, the second valve core 407 can be easily pushed to complete the reflux operation.

[0058] When the oil enters the unlocking cavity from the follower cylinder extension nozzle 902, as the oil pressure increases, the extension spring 803 is compressed, and the follower cylinder spring sleeve 802 moves towards the follower cylinder end cover 701 until the follower cylinder spring sleeve 802 contacts the follower cylinder end cover 701, and the tapered end surface of the follower cylinder spring sleeve 802 causes the slider 1003 to lose support; when the second follower cylinder piston rod 1001 is extended, due to the limitation of the conical surface of the extension retaining ring 1002 on the conical surface of the locking ring 805, the extension retaining ring 1002 shrinks inwardly to squeeze the slider 1003, and the slider 1003 radially retracts into the second follower cylinder piston rod 1001. At this time, the locking ring 805 cannot limit the extension retaining ring 1002, and the second follower cylinder piston rod 1001 can be smoothly extended.
