Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft locking device manufacturing, and relates to an open position locking device for a landing gear door linked with a landing gear. Background Art

[0002] The landing gear is a load-bearing device for the aircraft to take off, land, taxi and park. It can consume and absorb the impact energy of the aircraft during taxiing and landing. It is the most important load-bearing functional component of the aircraft. The main function of the landing gear door is to open when the landing gear is lowered to ensure the smooth lowering of the landing gear. When the landing gear is retracted, the door is closed to maintain the good aerodynamic shape of the aircraft. According to the opening form of the landing gear door, it is divided into linkage and single opening. The linkage means that as the landing gear is retracted and lowered, the connecting rod fixed on the landing gear drives the landing gear door to close and open together. The single opening means that the landing gear and the landing gear door are driven by different mechanisms respectively and do not affect each other. The landing gear door requires a locking device in both the open and closed positions to prevent the door from making unexpected movements and affecting the retraction and extension of the landing gear or the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft. The existing linkage mechanism fixes the landing gear in the lowered position through the landing gear lower lock, and drives the connecting rod mechanism connected to the landing gear to fix the landing gear door. This form of movement involves multi-rod movement in space, and the connection positions of various components are difficult to determine. The structure is complex, difficult to manufacture, costly, and has poor fixing reliability. The single-opening mechanism requires continuous pressure supply to the door actuator or a locking mechanism to be provided in the door actuator. When the aircraft is parked, all power, air and hydraulic sources will be cut off, and the door actuator will not be continuously supplied with pressure. The form of providing a locking mechanism in the door actuator is relatively complicated. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to provide a landing gear door open position locking device linked with the landing gear, which can be locked after the landing gear door is opened, has a simple structure, high fixing reliability, is easy to manufacture and has low cost.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is: a landing gear door open position locking device linked with the landing gear, comprising a bevel gear I, a bevel gear II, a sleeve, a cylindrical gear I, a cylindrical gear II and a rack latch; the bevel gear I is fixed to the left end of the landing gear shaft, the bevel gear II meshing with the bevel gear I is fixed to one end of the sleeve, the other end of the sleeve is fixed with the cylindrical gear I, the shaft of the cylindrical gear I is rotatably fixed on the support frame, and the support frame is fixed to the left side wall plate of the landing gear compartment; the shaft of the cylindrical gear II meshing with the cylindrical gear I is rotatably fixed on the support frame and is parallel to the shaft of the cylindrical gear I; the rack latch meshing with the cylindrical gear II is directly opposite to the locking hole opened on the larger lug of the door rotation axis I; when the landing gear door is fully opened, the rack latch is inserted into the locking hole, and when the rack latch exits the locking hole, the landing gear door is closed.

[0005] Further preferably, the specific fixing structure of the bevel gear I fixed to the left half-shaft end of the landing gear shaft is: a cavity is provided at the left half-shaft end, the shaft of the bevel gear I is inserted into the cavity at the left half-shaft end and is fixed to the left half-shaft end by two bolts that are perpendicular to each other and whose axes are not in the same radial plane of the left half-shaft.

[0006] Further preferably, the shaft of the bevel gear II passes through one end of the sleeve and is fixed to one end of the sleeve by two bolts that are perpendicular to each other and whose axes are not in the same radial plane of the sleeve; one end of the shaft of the cylindrical gear I passes through the other end of the sleeve and is fixed to the other end of the sleeve by two bolts that are perpendicular to each other and whose axes are not in the same radial plane of the sleeve; the other end of the shaft of the cylindrical gear I is rotatably fixed to the support frame.

[0007] Before the landing gear is lowered, the landing gear door actuator cylinder supplies pressure to push the door rotation shaft I to rotate, driving the door fixed to the door rotation shaft I to rotate. When the door rotates to the open position (i.e. rotates 90°), the landing gear actuator cylinder supplies pressure, and the landing gear actuator cylinder pushes the landing gear, the landing gear rotation shaft and the bevel gear I to rotate together. The bevel gear I drives the bevel gear II to rotate, thereby driving the cylindrical gear I to rotate. The cylindrical gear II rotates, thereby driving the rack latch matched with the cylindrical gear II to move downward. When the landing gear is lowered into place, the rack latch is inserted into the locking hole opened on the larger lug of the door rotation shaft I to complete the locking of the door.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention can lock the landing gear door after it is opened, has a simple structure, high fixing reliability, is easy to manufacture, and has a low cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
