Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to equipment for extending the service life of an aircraft front wheel, and belongs to the field of flight test field support. Background Art
[0002] According to field feedback, the front wheel tires of a certain type of aircraft are scrapped and replaced frequently. After analyzing the reasons, it was found that when the aircraft is parked, especially for a long time, the weight of the aircraft causes the front wheels to be under pressure, which can easily cause the steel wires in the tire to deform. When the deformation reaches a certain degree, it will affect the taxiing and landing safety of the aircraft, and it cannot be repaired and can only be scrapped and replaced. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for extending the service life of the front wheel of an aircraft and reducing the pressure on the front wheel when the aircraft is parked.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: an equipment for extending the service life of an aircraft front wheel, comprising an axle rod and a liftable front wheel bracket; the axle rod is installed on the liftable front wheel bracket, and its outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the aircraft front wheel axle hole; when in use, the axle rod is passed through the liftable front wheel bracket and the aircraft front wheel axle hole to connect the two, and the height of the liftable front wheel bracket is adjusted so that the equipment forms a space to accommodate the aircraft front wheel.
[0005] Preferably, the liftable front wheel bracket includes a bracket, a pillar, and a support plate; the bracket serves as a support for the initial state of the equipment; the column is installed on the bracket, and the bracket can move up and down along the column; there are two support plates, which are relatively installed at both ends of the upper surface of the bracket and are used to install the wheel axle rod.
[0006] Preferably, the bracket includes a left bracket and a right bracket, both of which are L-shaped, are spliced, and are connected and fixed by fasteners; the support plates are respectively installed on the upper surfaces of the left bracket and the right bracket.
[0007] Preferably, the joint portion of the left bracket and the right bracket is a stepped structure with threaded holes formed thereon, and the two are connected and fixed together by screws adapted thereto.
[0008] Preferably, the support pillars are two studs, which are respectively screwed to threaded holes provided on the bracket.
[0009] Preferably, the support plate is triangular in shape, with the bottom fixed to the bracket and the top provided with a through hole, in which the axle rod is installed; the axle rod is located above the center of the bracket.
[0010] Preferably, the outer diameter of one end of the axle rod is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole, and the outer diameter of the other end is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole, and a limiting member is installed at the end to limit the axle rod in the through hole of the support plate.
[0011] Preferably, the adjustable stroke of the bracket and the column is 200-300 mm.
[0012] Preferably, the wheel axle rod radius is less than 11 mm.
[0013] Working principle: When the aircraft is parked, install the left and right brackets correctly (so that the front wheel of the aircraft is located in the center of the brackets), then pass the axle rod through the brackets and the axle holes of the front wheel of the aircraft to connect the two, and finally push the brackets to a suitable height. At this time, most or even all of the pressure on the tire is transferred to the brackets, thereby reducing the deformation of the steel wire in the tire and extending the service life of the tire.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: increasing the service life of the front wheel, ensuring the flight safety of the aircraft; reducing the replacement frequency, saving the replacement cost; reducing the maintenance workload, saving the labor cost.
