Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft landing gear systems, and particularly to a landing gear retraction and extension system that uses single-actuator control for retraction, extension, and locking. Background Art
[0002] In the aviation field, the landing gear, as the core load-bearing system for an aircraft during takeoff, landing, and ground taxiing, is closely related to flight safety. The performance of the landing gear directly affects the takeoff and landing safety of the aircraft and the stability of ground operations. Therefore, the design of the landing gear has always been one of the important research directions in aviation technology.
[0003] Currently, the landing gears of many aircraft use multiple actuators to separately perform retraction, extension, and locking actions. Although this design can achieve the basic functions of the landing gear, it also has many problems: Firstly, the arrangement of multiple actuators requires a large amount of internal aircraft space, which poses a great challenge to the already compact internal aircraft layout design, severely squeezing the installation space of other key equipment, and thus affecting the optimization of the overall aircraft performance. Secondly, the weight of multiple actuators is relatively large, which undoubtedly increases the overall weight of the aircraft. The increase in aircraft weight not only leads to an increase in fuel consumption and a decrease in flight efficiency but may also have an adverse impact on the aircraft's maneuverability, range, and other performances. In addition, in actual operation, the coordinated control of multiple actuators is quite difficult, and it is extremely easy to have uncoordinated actions during retraction, extension, and locking, resulting in abnormal operation of the landing gear and even endangering the normal takeoff and landing of the aircraft in severe cases.
[0004] In summary, the existing landing gear systems have many deficiencies in terms of structural complexity, weight, space occupation, and reliability. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a landing gear retraction and locking mechanism with a simple structure, high reliability, and the ability to effectively withstand landing impacts. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a landing gear retraction and extension system that uses single-actuator control for retraction, extension, and locking. Through innovative structural design, the efficient retraction, extension, and locking functions of the landing gear are achieved, while solving the problems of large space occupation, weight increase, high coordinated control difficulty, and low reliability existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following scheme: a landing gear retraction and locking system with single-actuation control, comprising a first strut and a second strut which are rotatably connected to different positions of a landing gear compartment body; one end of the first strut connected to the landing gear compartment body is hinged to a connecting head, and the other end is equipped with a wheel; one end of the second strut connected to the landing gear compartment body is hinged to a steering knuckle, and the other end is hinged to a third strut, and the end of the third strut away from the second strut is hinged to the middle part of the first strut; an upper locking mechanism is provided on the rod body of the second strut, and a lower locking mechanism is provided on the end of the second strut close to the third strut; a retraction and extension cylinder is connected between the connecting head and the steering knuckle, and the steering knuckle is transmission-connected to the lower locking mechanism through a multi-link mechanism; the action of the retraction and extension cylinder forms a complete power transmission system through the steering knuckle and the multi-link mechanism, which is used to drive the unlocking or locking of the upper locking mechanism and the lower locking mechanism.

[0008] When the retraction and extension actuator shrinks, the steering knuckle is pulled, and the steering knuckle drives the multi-link mechanism to push the upper lock mechanism to unlock. The landing gear is deployed under the action of gravity and aerodynamic force, and the multi-link mechanism pushes the lower lock mechanism to lock, maintaining the deployed state of the landing gear.
[0009] Optionally, the multi-link mechanism includes a first link, a second link, a sleeve and a third link, one end of the first link is connected to the connecting head, and the other end is connected to the second link, one end of the second link away from the first link slides in the sleeve, one end of the third link is rotatably connected to the sleeve, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lower lock hook for transmitting power.

Detailed implementation manners
[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0035] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.
[0036] Refer to Figures 1 to 12As shown in the figure, an undercarriage retraction and extension system with single-actuation control for retraction, extension, and locking is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It is connected to the undercarriage compartment 5 and mainly includes a first strut 2, a second strut 9, and a third strut 15. Among them, the first strut 2 and the second strut 9 are respectively rotatably connected to different positions of the undercarriage compartment 5. The second strut 9 is movably connected to the first strut 2 through a connector 1 and a retraction and extension actuator 6. One end of the third strut 15 is hinged to the end of the second strut 9 away from the undercarriage compartment 5, and the other end is hinged to the middle of the first strut 2. The above key components work together through specific connection relationships to achieve the retraction, extension, and locking functions of the undercarriage.
[0037] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the connector 1 is rotatably connected to the undercarriage compartment 5 and rotatably connected to the piston rod of the retraction and extension actuator 6 at the front end, playing a basic role in connecting the undercarriage compartment 5 and the retraction and extension actuator 6. The first strut 2 is rigidly connected to the connector 1, bears the wheel 4 assembly, and has a Y-shaped structure, which is a key component for the undercarriage to support the weight of the aircraft. The second strut 9 is rotatably connected to the undercarriage compartment 5 and forms a transmission chain with the third strut 15 through series hinges. An extension part is provided on the second strut 9 for connecting the lower locking hook 14 when the undercarriage is deployed. The end of the third strut 15 is rotatably connected to the first strut 2 through a hoop mechanism 3. The hoop mechanism 3 includes a hoop body and fastening bolts to ensure the stable connection between the third strut 15 and the first strut 2. The retraction and extension actuator 6 is an electric actuator that provides the power for the undercarriage retraction and extension, and drives the upper locking hook 11 and the lower locking hook 14 to separate or lock through components such as a knuckle 8, a first link 7, a second link 10, a sleeve 12, and a third link 13. The lower locking hook 14 is connected to the extension part of the second strut 9 when the undercarriage is deployed and forms a cross-shaped structure with the extension part when locked, for locking the undercarriage. The upper locking hook 11 acts on the protruding part on the inner wall of the undercarriage compartment when the undercarriage is retracted and forms a cross-shaped structure with the protruding part when locked, for locking the undercarriage. One end of the first link 7 is rotatably connected to the second link 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the knuckle 8, serving as part of the power transmission system. The sleeve 12 is slidably connected to the second link 10 and has a limiting mechanism inside to limit the sliding distance of the second link 10. One end of the third link 13 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lower locking hook 14 for transmitting power. One end of the knuckle 8 is rotatably connected to the retraction and extension actuator 6, the other end is rotatably connected to the first link 7, and the middle part is rotatably connected to the second strut 9. A limiting mechanism is provided between the knuckle 8 and the second strut 9 for achieving the steering and limiting functions.
[0038] In the above embodiments, the first link 7, the second link 10, the sleeve 12, and the third link 13 form a multi-link mechanism. When the retraction and extension actuator 6 extends, it pushes the steering knuckle 8 to act. The steering knuckle 8 drives the multi-link mechanism to pull the lower locking hook 14 to unlock, and drives the first strut 2, the second strut 9, and the third strut 15 to retract. The upper locking hook 11 locks to maintain the landing gear in the retracted state. When the retraction and extension actuator 6 contracts, it pulls the steering knuckle 8 to act. The steering knuckle 8 drives the multi-link mechanism to push the upper locking hook 11 to unlock. The landing gear unfolds under the action of gravity and aerodynamic force. The multi-link mechanism pushes the lower locking hook 14 to lock to maintain the landing gear in the unfolded state.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, the connector 1 is rotatably connected to the landing gear housing 5 and is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the retraction and extension actuator 6 at the front end. The connector 1 serves to connect the landing gear housing 5 and the retraction and extension actuator 6, providing a basic connection structure for the retraction and extension of the landing gear. The connector 1 is a key connecting component between the landing gear housing 5 and the retraction and extension actuator 6, which transmits the power of the retraction and extension actuator 6 to other components of the landing gear.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, the first strut 2 is connected to the landing gear housing 5 through the connector 1, and is also connected to the second strut 9 and the third strut 15 through the hoop mechanism 3 to form the main support structure of the landing gear. The first strut 2 is rigidly connected to the connector 1, carries the wheel 4, and has a Y-shaped structure. The first strut 2 is a key component for the landing gear to support the weight of the aircraft and achieve the takeoff and landing functions.
[0041] In a specific embodiment, one end of the second strut 9 is connected to the landing gear housing 5, the other end is serially hinged to the third strut 15, and the middle is connected to the power transmission system of the retraction and extension actuator 6 through the steering knuckle 8. It is rotatably connected to the landing gear housing 5, forms a transmission chain with the third strut 15 through serial hinge, and is provided with an extension part. It transmits power during the retraction, extension, and locking of the landing gear, realizes the state switching of the landing gear through the second strut 9, forms a "two-force bar" structure with the third strut 15, and cooperates with the lower locking hook 14 to ensure the stable support of the landing gear.
[0042] In a specific embodiment, one end of the third strut 15 is serially hinged to the second strut 9, and the other end is connected to the first strut 2 through the hoop mechanism 3 to form the support and transmission structure of the landing gear. The end of the third strut 15 is rotatably connected to the first strut 2 through the hoop mechanism 3. At the same time, it forms a transmission chain with the second strut 9 through serial hinge, transmits power during the retraction, extension, and locking of the landing gear, and realizes the state switching of the landing gear.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, the front end of the piston rod of the retracting and extending actuator 6 is rotatably connected to the connector 1, and is connected to components such as the first link 7, the second link 10, the sleeve 12, and the third link 13 through the knuckle 8 to form a complete power transmission system. The retracting and extending actuator 6 can be selected as an electric actuator, which is used to provide the power for the landing gear retraction and extension, and drives the upper locking hook 11 and the lower locking hook 14 to separate or lock through components such as the knuckle 8, the link, and the sleeve 12, so as to realize the retraction, extension, and locking functions of the landing gear.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, the lower locking hook 14 is connected to the sleeve 12 through the third link 13, and its connection and separation with the lower locking tongue 16 are controlled by the retracting and extending actuator 6 through the power transmission system. Among them, the lower locking tongue 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the third strut 15. When the landing gear is deployed, the lower locking hook 14 and the lower locking tongue 16 are locked and matched to lock the landing gear and ensure its stability during landing.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, the upper locking hook 11 is connected to the retracting and extending actuator 6 through components such as the first link 7, the second link 10, the sleeve 12, and the third link 13, and its connection and separation with the upper locking tongue 17 are controlled by the retracting and extending actuator 6. Among them, the upper locking tongue 17 is specifically a convex portion provided on the inner wall of the landing gear compartment. When the landing gear is retracted, the upper locking hook 11 and the upper locking tongue 17 are locked and matched to lock the landing gear and ensure its stability during flight.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, the first link 7 connects the knuckle 8 and the second link 10, and is a key connecting component between the retracting and extending actuator 6 and the locking hook. One end of the first link 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the second link 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the knuckle 8. As a part of the power transmission system, the first link 7 transmits the power of the retracting and extending actuator 6 to the upper locking hook 11 and the lower locking hook 14.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the second link 10 is a rigid rod body, and rotating connection points are respectively designed at both ends thereof. One end of it is rotatably connected to one end of the first link 7, and the other end is slidably connected to the sleeve 12. This structure enables the second link 10 to slide and rotate within a certain range to meet the motion requirements during the retraction and extension of the landing gear. The second link 10 is a key transmission component of the landing gear retraction, extension, and locking system. It transmits the power of the retracting and extending actuator 6 to the sleeve 12 and the third link 13 through the first link 7, and then drives the separation and locking of the upper locking hook 11 and the lower locking hook 14 to realize the retraction, extension, and locking functions of the landing gear.
[0048] In a specific embodiment, the sleeve 12 is connected to the first link 7 through the second link 10, and is connected to the lower lock hook 14 through the third link 13, playing the role of limiting and connecting, limiting the sliding distance of the second link 10, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of power transmission. Furthermore, there is a limit mechanism in the sleeve 12 to limit the sliding distance of the second link 10, thereby ensuring the movement accuracy and stability of the landing gear during the retraction and extension process, and preventing excessive movement between components from causing system failure.
[0049] In a specific embodiment, the limiting mechanism in the sleeve 12 is an annular boss provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 12, and the annular boss extends axially along the sleeve 12 to form a guide groove; the end of the second connecting rod 10 is provided with a radial protrusion matching the guide groove, and the moving stroke of the radial protrusion is limited by the axial length of the guide groove; when the second connecting rod 10 is driven to make axial displacement, its radial protrusion moves along the guide groove to the end of the annular boss and is blocked. At this time, the third connecting rod 13 and the lower lock hook 14 form a precise linkage cooperation to realize the stroke control of the opening and closing action of the lower lock.
[0050] In a specific embodiment, the third connecting rod 13 connects the sleeve 12 and the lower locking hook 14, and is a key connecting component between the retracting and extending cylinder 6 and the lower locking hook 14. One end of the third connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the other end of the sleeve 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the middle of the lower locking hook 14. As part of the power transmission system, the third connecting rod 13 transmits the power of the retracting and extending cylinder 6 to the lower locking hook 14.
[0051] In a specific embodiment, one end of the steering knuckle 8 is rotatably connected to the retractable actuator 6, the other end is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 7, the middle part is rotatably connected to the second support rod 9, and a limiting mechanism is provided between the steering knuckle 8 and the second support rod 9. As a key component of the power transmission system, the steering knuckle 8 connects the retractable actuator 6, the first connecting rod 7 and the second support rod 9, transmits the power of the retractable actuator 6 to the first connecting rod 7 and the second support rod 9, and realizes the steering and limiting functions through the limiting mechanism.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, the clamp mechanism 3 clamps the body and the fastening bolts, the clamp body clamps the first strut 2, and the clamping force is adjusted by the fastening bolts. The clamp mechanism 3 connects the third strut 15 and the first strut 2 to play a role of fixing and connecting, ensuring that the third strut 15 is firmly connected to the first strut 2 and no relative displacement occurs during the operation of the landing gear.
[0053] The working process of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:
[0054] Landing gear retraction process: When the aircraft takes off, the retraction actuator 6 operates, and the piston rod extends to push the steering knuckle 8. The steering knuckle 8 successively pulls the lower latch hook 14 away from the extension through the first link 7, the second link 10, the sleeve 12, and the third link 13. Subsequently, the steering knuckle 8 is limited and locked. Driven by the retraction actuator 6, the first strut 2, the second strut 9, and the third strut 15 start to rotate and slowly retract until the landing gear is retracted and locked by the upper latch hook 11. At this time, the retraction actuator 6 stops working and maintains the current pressure to maintain the stable state of the retracted landing gear.
[0055] Landing gear deployment process: Before the aircraft lands, the landing gear needs to be deployed. The retraction actuator 6 operates again, and the piston rod contracts. First, it drives the first link 7 and the second link 10 through the steering knuckle 8 to push the upper latch hook 11 to unlock past the dead point. Then, under the action of gravity and aerodynamic force, the landing gear slowly deploys, and the retraction actuator 6 provides auxiliary power. When the landing gear is deployed until the second strut 9 is parallel to the third strut 15, the retraction actuator 6 contracts to drive the steering knuckle 8 to rotate. The steering knuckle 8 pushes the lower latch hook 14 to lock through the first link 7, the second link 10, the sleeve 12, and the third link 13, realizing the lower position locking of the landing gear and providing stable support for the aircraft to land.
[0056] During the entire landing gear retraction, locking, and deployment process, the triangular structure formed by the retraction actuator 6, the second strut 9, the third strut 15, and the first strut 2 exhibits strong stability in the deployed state, which can effectively disperse the impact force during aircraft landing and taxiing, ensuring that the landing gear can reliably support the weight of the aircraft. This system drives a multi-link mechanism through a single actuator, cleverly realizing the synchronous control of landing gear retraction, locking, and deployment, simplifying the system structure, and reducing the operation complexity.
