[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a front landing gear fatigue testing device with adjustable buffer strut compression. The front landing gear fatigue testing device 100 includes a support frame 10, a follower device 20, a simulation test piece 30, and a loading assembly 40.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, the support frame 10 includes a support base 11 and a top frame 12. The support base 11 is mainly composed of a long crossbeam 111, a short crossbeam 112, a short column 113, and a long column 114. The long crossbeam 111, short crossbeam 112, and short column 113 are connected by welding or bolts to form the bottom frame structure, which is fixed to the ground of the test site. The bottom of the long column 114 is set on the bottom frame structure, and it is vertically arranged. The top of the long column 114 is fixedly connected to the top frame by welding or bolts.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the long crossbeam 111 has the same structural features as the follower crossbeam 24 and is used to mount the lateral actuator and the yaw actuator.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the short crossbeam 112 is made of rectangular cross-section thick-walled square steel profile, with the left and right ends flush and welded together, and is used for the vertical connection and installation of the bottom structure of the front landing gear fatigue test device.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the structural features and geometric dimensions of the short column 113 are exactly the same as or similar to those of the short crossbeam 112, only the position is different, and it is used for the vertical connection and installation of the bottom structure of the front landing gear fatigue testing device.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the long column 114 is processed from a thick-walled square steel profile with a rectangular cross section. Its upper and lower end faces are sealed and welded. The material can be Q345 steel. The four sides of the long column 114 can be processed with connecting through holes and assembly reserved holes. The follower frame 21 and guide rail slider assembly 25 are installed at approximately the middle position. The top frame 12 is installed at the top, and the short crossbeam 112 and short column 113 are installed at the bottom.

[0039] The top frame 12 has a main through hole 121 in the middle for the position control actuator 41 to pass through. The top frame 12 is fixed to the top of the long column 114, and the top frame 12 and the long column 114 can be connected by bolts to form an integral unit. The left wheel axle vertical actuator 421 and the right wheel axle vertical actuator 422 in the loading assembly 40 are installed below the top frame 12. In some embodiments of this application, the top frame 12 is a welded steel plate component, and it is generally best to choose a steel plate with a thickness of 20 mm or more, and the material can be Q345 steel.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the follower device 20 includes a follower frame 21, a support base 22, a support joint 23, a follower beam 24, and a guide rail slider assembly 25.

The simulated test piece 30 is suspended below the support base 22 through the support joint 23. When the position control actuator 41 applies a displacement force to the follower frame 21, the buffer support 32 in the simulated test piece 30 can be compressed or extended. Four follower beams 24 are fixedly installed on the edges of the follower frame 21. Figure 3 The image only shows one of the following crossbeams 24 on the right side, which is connected to the guide rail slider assembly 25.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the follower frame 21 is made of welded steel plate, typically steel plate with a thickness of 20 mm or more, and Q345 steel. The follower frame 21 is bolted to four follower beams 24 around its perimeter, and the support base 22 is bolted to the bottom of the follower frame 21.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the support base 22 is a welded steel plate component with the same structural features as the top frame 12. The support base 22 is installed below the follower frame 21 by bolts.

Vertical and directional loads are applied to the simulated wheel 35 through application holes 351. Vertical and directional actuators can be connected to the application holes 351 to apply vertical and directional loads to the simulated wheel 35. Meanwhile, a lateral load application joint 352 extending along the wheel axle axis is provided on the simulator wheel 35. There are two lateral load joints 352. One lateral load joint 352 is coincident with the wheel axle axis 34, and the other lateral load joint 352 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the simulator wheel 35. The lateral actuator can be connected to the lateral load application joint 352 to apply lateral load to the simulator wheel 35, thereby achieving the application of vertical, lateral and yaw loads at the wheel position.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the loading component 40 includes: a position control actuator 41, a vertical actuator 42, a lateral actuator 43, and a yaw actuator 44.

[0050] The actuator 41 connects the top beam of the test chamber to the top frame 12 in the support frame 10, and is used to provide a predetermined compression load to the buffer support 33 of the simulated test specimen 30. In some embodiments of this application, the actuator 41 can be an existing test equipment in the test chamber. During the test, the actuator 41 is used to compress the buffer support of the simulated test specimen 30, thus bearing the compression load. The actuator 41's ability to bear the compression load is nearly three times its ability to bear the tensile load. Typically, an actuator 41 with a tensile load capacity of not less than 40 tons is selected.

[0051] The vertical actuator 42 includes a left wheel axle vertical actuator 421 and a right wheel axle vertical actuator 422, which are connected to the application holes 351 of the simulated wheel 35 of the simulated test piece 30.

[0052] The lateral actuator 43 includes a left wheel axle lateral actuator 431, a left wheel tire contact point lateral actuator 432, a right wheel axle lateral actuator 433, and a right wheel tire contact point lateral actuator 434. The left wheel axle lateral actuator 431 and the left wheel tire contact point lateral actuator 432 are connected to the left simulated wheel 35 and are used to apply a left-side axle load (L) and a wheel tire contact point load, respectively. The right wheel axle lateral actuator 433 and the right wheel tire contact point lateral actuator 434 are connected to the right simulated wheel 35 and are used to apply a right-side axle load (R) and a wheel tire contact point load, respectively.

[0053] The yaw actuator 44 includes a left wheel axle forward actuator 441, a left wheel axle rear actuator 442, a left wheel tire contact point rear actuator 443, a right wheel axle forward actuator 444, a right wheel axle rear actuator 445, and a right wheel tire contact point rear actuator 446. The left wheel axle forward actuator 441 and the right wheel axle forward actuator 444 are respectively connected to the left simulated wheel 35 and the right simulated wheel 35, and are used to apply the forward F axle load of the left wheel and the right wheel respectively. The left wheel axle rear actuator 442 and the right wheel axle rear actuator 445 are respectively connected to the left simulated wheel 35 and the right simulated wheel 35, and are used to apply the left wheel axle load and the right wheel axle load in the rearward direction B, respectively; the left wheel tire contact point rear actuator 443 and the right wheel tire contact point rear actuator 446 are respectively connected to the left simulated wheel 35 and the right simulated wheel 35, and are used to apply the left wheel tire landing point load and the right wheel tire landing point load in the rearward direction B, respectively.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the lateral actuator 43 is connected to the simulated test piece 30 via a rigid connection. That is, the four actuators, namely the left wheel axle lateral actuator 431, the left wheel tire contact point lateral actuator 432, the right wheel axle lateral actuator 433, and the right wheel tire contact point lateral actuator 434, are connected to the simulated wheel 35 through an application joint, which can apply both tensile and compressive loads. The vertical actuator 42 and the yaw actuator 44 are connected to the simulated test piece 30 via a soft connection. Specifically, the left wheel axle vertical actuator 421, the right wheel axle vertical actuator 422, the left wheel axle forward actuator 441, the left wheel axle rear actuator 442, the left wheel tire contact point rear actuator 443, the right wheel axle forward actuator 444, the right wheel axle rear actuator 445, and the right wheel tire contact point rear actuator 446 are softly connected to the simulated wheel 35 via a pull plate 423, so that only tensile loads can be applied.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the material of the pull plate 423 can be 30CrMnSiA steel with a heat treatment level of 1080MPa, used to connect the loading actuator to the loading wheel.

[0056] Position control actuator 41 is fixedly mounted on top frame 12. Its retractable single ear is connected to the double ear structure 211 of follower frame 21. The extension and retraction of position control actuator 41 can adjust the up and down movement of follower frame 21. The up and down movement of follower frame 21 can further adjust the stroke of frame buffer support 32. When position control actuator 41 is extended, the compression of buffer support 32 of simulated test piece 30 increases; when position control actuator 41 is shortened, the compression of buffer support 32 of simulated test piece 30 decreases. In the extended or shortened state of position control actuator 41, fatigue test of variable compression of simulated test piece 30 can be completed by vertical actuator 42, lateral actuator 43 and yaw actuator 44.

[0057] In this application, the left wheel axle vertical actuator 421 and the right wheel axle vertical actuator 422 apply tensile loads, while the position control actuator 41 bears compressive loads.
