[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0021] In the description and claims, it should be understood that the terms first, second, etc. are used only for the purpose of distinguishing similar technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. The terms are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included at least one of the features.
[0022] The Autothrottle Switch Pack triggers micro-switches in a preset range through a mechanical linkage according to the change of the throttle lever angle, turns on the corresponding control circuit, provides a logic signal, and starts the corresponding aircraft system function. Due to the design characteristics of the mechanical structure driving the on-off of the switch, the reliability is unstable, the instantaneous failure rate is high, the fault concealment is strong, the maintenance amount is large; the self-checking device outputs a maintenance code which is not strong in pertinence, and the fault analysis and fault positioning accuracy is not high, and the repeatability is strong. At present, the maintenance units of airlines generally do not maintain through the self-checking device, but use a general meter to realize the measurement of the on-off of the switch and the detection of the logic relationship. However, the prior art needs to reposition the pin and manually record the real-time resistance value when detecting each micro-switch, and the maintenance personnel need to have high professionalism, the fault tolerance is low, and the labor cost is high.
[0023] Based on the above thinking, the embodiment of the present application provides a test device for an autothrottle switch pack. It should be noted that each autothrottle switch pack includes a plug and a plurality of micro-switches.
[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, the autothrottle switch pack of the Boeing 737NG aircraft is taken as an example. Each 737NG aircraft is equipped with two autothrottle switch packs, namely a left autothrottle switch pack and a right autothrottle switch pack, each corresponding to a thrust lever assembly. Each thrust lever assembly drives its corresponding pack through a mechanical linkage. Each pack has nine switches that input discrete signals of the thrust lever position to multiple systems.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the test device 10 for the autothrottle switch pack includes a component socket module 11, a dial switch group module 12, a resistance measurement module 13 and a dynamic display module 14 connected in sequence.
[0026] The component socket module 11 includes the same number of sockets as the plugs for connecting the plugs to obtain the output of the micro switch; the dial switch group module 12 includes double the number of dial switches of the micro switch, and each dial switch is used to form a measuring path between two pins of a micro switch; the resistance measuring module 13 is used to measure the resistance value of the measuring path; and the dynamic display module 14 is used to display the resistance value.
[0027] It should be noted that in the Boeing 737NG aircraft, the left automatic throttle switch assembly package includes two plugs, namely D11128P and D11130P; and the right automatic throttle switch assembly package also includes two plugs, namely D11132P and D11134P. Different models correspond to different sockets, so the number of sockets in the embodiment of the application is 4, which correspond to the plugs D11128P, D11130P, D11132P and D11134P respectively.
[0028] It should also be noted that different combinations of pins correspond to different micro switches, and in the embodiment of the application, the continuity and operating state of the micro switch are reflected by measuring the resistance value between the pins. Exemplarily, for the left automatic throttle switch assembly, the pin 14-7 and the pin 7-8 of the plug D11128P correspond to the micro switch S4, so the state of the micro switch S4 can be determined by measuring the resistance between the pin 14 and the pin 7 and the resistance between the pin 7 and the pin 8. The conventional measurement method needs to connect the multimeter to the pin 17 and the pin 7 first, and then connect the multimeter to the pin 7 and the pin 8 after completing the measurement. However, this process requires very high technical requirements for maintenance personnel, and it is difficult to avoid mistakes and omissions, and the maintenance efficiency is low. By using the dial switch group module in the embodiment of the application, the selected micro switch to be measured can be simply and conveniently detected.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, each automatic throttle switch assembly includes micro switches S1-S9, each of which includes a first pin, a second pin and a third pin; the dial switch group module includes dial switches SW1-SW18, and a common pin logic selection unit;

[0033] It should be noted that each micro switch has three pins, which are C, NO and NC, wherein C is a common terminal, NO is a normally open terminal, and NC is a normally closed terminal. In aviation detection, each micro switch corresponds to three pins of the plug of the left automatic throttle switch assembly package. To detect whether a micro switch fails, the resistance values of NO-C and NC-C need to be detected respectively.
[0034] Exemplarily, in the Boeing 737NG aircraft, the first pin of S1 of the corresponding micro switch in the left automatic throttle lever assembly package and the right automatic throttle lever assembly package is pin 1, pin 2 and pin 3, wherein pin 2 is the pin corresponding to the common terminal, pin 1 is the pin corresponding to the normally open terminal, and pin 3 is the pin corresponding to the normally closed terminal. In the embodiment of the application, the pin corresponding to the common terminal is the second pin, the pin corresponding to the normally open terminal is the first pin, and the pin corresponding to the normally closed terminal is the third pin. In other embodiments, the pin corresponding to the normally closed terminal can be the first pin, and the pin corresponding to the normally open terminal can be the third pin. The specific naming rules do not affect the beneficial effects achieved by the application.
[0035] When the adjustment toggle switch is adjusted to the on state, the resistance between the two pins of the corresponding micro switch can be measured. As an example, when the adjustment toggle switch SW1 is adjusted to the on state, the first pin of the micro switch S1 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the adjustment toggle switch SW1, and the second pin of the micro switch S1 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the common pin logic selection unit, so as to realize the logical connection of the micro switch and the resistance measurement module, and measure the resistance value between the first pin and the second pin of the micro switch S1.

[0038] Further, as a preferred embodiment, the common pin logic selection unit comprises exclusive OR gates U1~U9, AND gates U10~U18 and OR gate U19.
[0039] The first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U1 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW1 and the second end of the toggle switch SW2; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U10 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U1 and the second pin of the micro switch S1; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U2 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW3 and the second end of the toggle switch SW4; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U11 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U2 and the second pin of the micro switch S2; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U3 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW5 and the second end of the toggle switch SW6; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U12 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U3 and the second pin of the micro switch S3; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U4 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW7 and the second end of the toggle switch SW8; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U13 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U4 and the second pin of the micro switch S4; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U5 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW9 and the second end of the toggle switch SW10; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U14 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U5 and the second pin of the micro switch S5; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U6 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW11 and the second end of the toggle switch SW12; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U15 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U6 and the second pin of the micro switch S6; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U7 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW13 and the second end of the toggle switch SW14; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U16 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U7 and the second pin of the micro switch S7; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U8 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW15 and the second end of the toggle switch SW16; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U17 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U8 and the second pin of the micro switch S8; the first input end and the second input end of the XOR gate U9 are respectively connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW17 and the second end of the toggle switch SW18; the first input end and the second input end of the AND gate U18 are respectively connected with the output end of the XOR gate U9 and the second pin of the micro switch S9; the output ends of the AND gates U10-U18 are all connected with the input end of the OR gate U19, and the output end of the OR gate U19 is connected with the input end of the resistance measurement module.
[0040] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, there are two toggle switches corresponding to the second pin of the same micro switch, and in the normal use state of the micro switch, the NC terminal and the NO terminal will not be connected to the aircraft at the same time, so during the measurement, only the resistance between the first pin and the second pin or the resistance between the second pin and the third pin is measured. Through the above-mentioned logical gate connection structure, the selection of the second pin of the micro switch S1-S9 can be realized according to the connection state of the toggle switch. Specifically: when the toggle switch SW1 or SW2 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S1 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit, and when the toggle switches SW1 and SW2 are turned on at the same time, the resistance measurement module does not access the effective signal, so the resistance measurement will not be performed. Similarly, when the toggle switch SW3 or SW4 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S2 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit; when the toggle switch SW5 or SW6 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S3 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit; when the toggle switch SW7 or SW8 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S4 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit; when the toggle switch SW9 or SW10 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S5 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit; when the toggle switch SW11 or SW12 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S6 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit; when the toggle switch SW13 or SW14 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S7 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit; when the toggle switch SW15 or SW16 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S8 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit; when the toggle switch SW17 or SW18 is turned on, the second pin of the micro switch S9 is connected to the resistance measurement module through the output end of the common pin logical selection unit.
[0041] Due to the complex operation mode of the internal system of the aircraft, in order to ensure that the pins of different micro switches are not connected to the resistance measurement module respectively and to ensure the safety of the aircraft components, as a more preferred embodiment, the OR gate U19 in the above-mentioned scheme can be further improved, and through the design of the logical gate, only one of the micro switches S1-S9 can be connected to the resistance measurement module.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the resistance measurement module comprises a resistance conversion unit; the resistance measurement module comprises a resistance conversion unit; the resistance conversion unit is used to convert the electrical parameter between the first input end and the second input end of the resistance measurement module into resistance and transmit it to the output end;
[0043] The first input end of the resistance conversion unit is electrically connected with the second end of the toggle switch SW1-SW18; the second input end of the resistance conversion unit is electrically connected with the output end of the OR gate U19; and the output end of the resistance conversion unit is electrically connected with the input end of the dynamic display module.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the first input end of the resistance conversion unit is connected with the first end or the third end of the micro switch, and the first input end of the resistance conversion unit is connected with the second end of the micro switch, so as to realize the resistance measurement of the micro switch. The structure design of the resistance conversion unit is the prior art, and will not be described in more details.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the dynamic display module comprises a display screen.
[0046] The first input end of the display screen is connected with the output end of the resistance conversion unit, and the second input end of the display screen is connected with the control display unit of the aircraft system, which is used for displaying the throttle lever resolver angle of the automatic throttle switch assembly.
[0047] It should be noted that the throttle lever controls different micro switches to be connected with different systems of the aircraft at different angles. For example, for the micro switch S1, when the throttle lever resolver angle (TRA, Throttle Resolver Angle) is in the range of 8.00-42.00, the pin 1-2 is in the disconnected state, and the pin 2-3 is in the connected state; when it is in the range of 46.00-82.00, the pin 1-2 is in the connected state, and the pin 2-3 is in the disconnected state. During the measurement, only the plug of the throttle switch assembly package is taken off from the aircraft and inserted into the socket of the test device of the automatic throttle switch assembly, and then the reverse thrust lever is directly operated on the aircraft to make the throttle lever resolver angle at the angle required for the micro switch test. At this time, the throttle lever resolver angle is directly displayed on the control display unit of the aircraft system, and the second input end of the display screen is connected with the control display unit of the aircraft system, so that the TRA can be directly viewed on the test device of the automatic throttle switch assembly.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, during the test of the micro switch, firstly, whether the resistance exceeds the preset threshold value in the normal operation is analyzed, and secondly, the throttle lever resolver angle is controlled at the switching position of the two states, and the resistance fluctuation during the switching is analyzed by the display screen. Preferably, the fluctuation of the currently measured micro switch, pin and resistance is displayed on the display screen. Compared with the method of using the multimeter for measurement in the prior art, the change of the resistance can be better analyzed, and the test process is simple and convenient.
[0049] In some preferred embodiments, the testing device of the automatic throttle lever assembly is as shown in Figure 2 In use, first, the plug D11128P, D11130P of the left throttle lever assembly package is inserted into the corresponding socket, and then the throttle lever is adjusted to a suitable angle in the cockpit of the aircraft, and the specific angle value can be obtained according to the corresponding relationship between the micro switch and the throttle lever in the aircraft design manual.
