TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of helicopter ground test, and particularly relates to a helicopter skid landing gear static test device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The skid landing gear device is widely used in aircraft design due to its simple and reliable structure, low processing cost and simple and convenient maintenance. When the aircraft lands, the skid landing gear transmits loads in different directions through the skid cylinder in contact with the ground, and absorbs energy by relying on the tubular or rectangular arch beam and the clamp with rubber buffer pad at the connection between the aircraft and the skid. The skid landing gear static test is to verify the static strength characteristics of the skid landing gear structure under the real installation boundary conditions. The static test loading technology of the large-size and high-load-capacity tubular structure skid landing gear used in 4-ton aircraft is difficult, and it is necessary to simulate the real constraint conditions of the skid landing gear, while ensuring accurate test load application after the skid cylinder is loaded and rotated.
[0003] The method of building a gantry suspension constraint landing gear to simulate real boundary conditions is complex, and the size and strength of the constraint gantry are required to be high. At the same time, since the load application point of the skid landing gear is located at the bottom surface of the skid cylinder, the load point is multiple and the load mass is large, so it is not easy to implement counterweight loading and lead screw loading, and a loading device connected with the tubular structure skid cylinder needs to be designed for loading through a hydraulic actuator.
[0004] In order to simplify the constraint design form, meet the test loading position of the skid cylinder bottom surface contact point, and ensure that the load application is not affected by the rotation of the skid cylinder under load, the present application designs an inverted constraint and loading compensation device for the skid landing gear.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0028] This invention provides a static testing apparatus for helicopter skid landing gear, which has been applied to static testing of helicopter skid landing gear. Please see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The device includes a restraint assembly 1, a skid landing gear assembly 2, a Z-axis loading assembly 3, a Y-axis loading assembly 4, an X-axis loading assembly 5, and a hydraulic loading device 6.
[0029] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The frame of constraint assembly 1 is composed of a square column 1a welded from profiles and steel plates, a mounting base, a front connecting beam 1c, a rear connecting beam 1d, and a positioning beam 1e. The dimensions of the frame structure can be adaptively adjusted according to different dimensions of skid landing gear. During the test, the front left mounting seat 1f and the front right mounting seat 1g, equipped with the front transition block 1i, are mounted on the mounting surface of the connecting beam 1c, and the rear center connecting seat 1h is mounted on the mounting surface of the rear connecting beam 1d. Skid landing gear assembly 2 is connected to two front transition blocks 1i and one rear center connecting seat 1h respectively through three landing gear mounting points in an inverted manner. The mounting base 1b is fixed on the load-bearing ground rail. Compared with the gantry suspension constraint method, the inverted constraint method of skid landing gear is simpler to implement and has better load-bearing capacity. Through the transition connection method of the front transition block 1i and the rear center connecting seat 1h, the boundary conditions of the actual installation of skid landing gear can be simulated more flexibly, and it has greater plasticity.
[0030] Please see Figure 3 The skid landing gear assembly 2 is a symmetrical structure, consisting of a cylindrical front crossbeam 2a, a rear crossbeam 2b, and left and right skids 2c and 2d. A front mounting point with a rubber clamp 2e, a left connecting lug 2f, and a right connecting lug 2g is provided on the front crossbeam 2a, and a rear mounting point with a rubber clamp 2e and a pivot joint 2h is provided on the rear crossbeam 2b. Simultaneously, to facilitate the movement of the skid landing gear, transfer bolts 2i are provided on the left skid 2c and right skid 2d.
[0031] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7The Z-axis loading assembly 3, Y-axis loading assembly 4, and X-axis loading assembly 5 are distributed at the front and rear loading points of the left and right skids of the skid landing gear. The front and rear loading connections of a single skid are similar, and the loading connections of the left and right skids are symmetrical. The Z-axis loading assembly 3 is composed of a front skid Z-axis loading clamp 3a, a screw 3b, a steel cable 3c, a triangular joint 3d, a rear skid Z-axis loading clamp 3e, a lever 3f, and a nut 3g. The Y-axis loading assembly 4 is composed of a Y-axis loading clamp 4a, a bolt 4b, a clamp connecting short beam 4c, a clamp connecting long beam 4d, a longitudinal lever 4e, a screw sleeve 4f, a short lever 4g, and a long lever 4h. The X-axis loading assembly 5 is composed of an X-axis loading clamp 5a, a connecting plate 5b, a special bolt 5c, a special nut 5d for locking, a double-ear clamp 5e, a front double-ear clamp 5f, a rear double-ear clamp 5g, a small bolt 5h, a front lever 5i, and a rear lever 5j. During the test, the skid landing gear was subjected to combined loads in the ZY and ZX directions, and the landing gear skids would undergo translation and rotation around the skid axis due to the load.
[0032] When the skid landing gear is subjected to combined loads in the Z and Y directions, the Z-direction loading clamps 3a and 3e of the front skid and the rear skid are fixedly connected to the skid by screws 3b and nuts 3g. The Y-direction loading clamps 4a are connected to the Z-direction loading clamps 3a and 3e of the front skid and the rear skid by bolts 4b, respectively. After the connection is completed, the Y-direction loading clamps 4a at the loading points of the front and rear skids are connected by clamp connecting short beams 4c and long beams 4d. The installation position of the Y-direction loading clamps 4a is adjusted by measuring the installation angle of the clamp connecting short beams 4c and long beams 4d, so that the center position of each set of Y-direction loading clamps 4a at the initial installation is the theoretical grounding point of the skid and the ground when the test load reaches the ultimate load, so as to compensate for the Y-direction load at the ultimate load and ensure accurate load application. After the loading clamps in the Z and Y directions are installed, steel cables 3c are embedded in the corresponding clamp installation grooves. The steel cables loaded in the Z direction are connected to the hydraulic loading device 6 using triangular joints 3d, levers 3f and nuts 3g. The steel cables loaded in the Y direction are connected to the hydraulic device 6 using longitudinal levers 4e, threaded sleeves 4f, short levers 4g and long levers 4h.
[0033] When the skid landing gear is subjected to combined loads in the Z and X directions, the installation of the skid in the Z direction is the same as described above. After connecting the X-direction loading clamp 5a, connecting plate 5b, special bolt 5c, and special nut 5d to the transfer bolt 2i on the skid, the double-ear clamp 5e, front double-ear 5f, rear double-ear 5g, and small bolt 5h are installed in the mounting slots of each set of X-direction loading clamps 5a. By measuring the installation angles of the front double-ear 5f and rear double-ear 5g, the tangent point between the line connecting the centers of the two ear pieces of the double-ear 5f and rear double-ear 5g and the skid is adjusted so that the initial installation tangent point is the theoretical grounding point of the skid when the test load reaches the ultimate load, in order to compensate for the X-direction load during the ultimate load and ensure accurate load application. After completing the installation of the front double-ear 5f and rear double-ear 5g, the ear pieces of the double-ear are connected to one end of a separate steel cable 3c, and the other end of the steel cable 3c is connected to the hydraulic device 6 by merging the front lever 5i and the rear lever 5j respectively.
[0034] One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for static testing of skid landing gear. The specific implementation process is as follows: 1. The constraint assembly 1 has four square columns 1a, which are installed on the mounting surfaces of four mounting bases 1b using connecting bolts. Any two square columns 1a in the above state are connected by a front connecting beam 1c and a rear connecting beam 1d to ensure the left-right constraint positioning of the front and rear crossbeams of the skid landing gear. The front connecting beam 1c and the rear connecting beam 1d are then connected by a positioning beam 1e to ensure the front-rear constraint positioning of the front and rear crossbeams of the skid landing gear. The front left mounting seat 1f and the front right mounting seat 1g are installed on the mounting surface of the front connecting beam 1c using connecting bolts, and the rear center connecting seat 1h is installed on the mounting surface of the rear connecting beam 1d. Two front adapter blocks 1i are then installed on the front left mounting seat 1f and the front right mounting seat 1g, respectively. The four mounting bases 1b in the above state are fixed to the load-bearing ground rail with universal anchor bolts, thus completing the assembly and fixing of the constraint assembly 1. The skid landing gear assembly 2 is connected in an inverted manner to two front transition blocks 1i and a rear center connecting seat 1h through three landing gear mounting points to complete the fixation of the skid landing gear assembly 2.
[0035] 2. The Z-axis loading assembly 3 has four Z-axis loading clamps 3a on the front skid, arranged in pairs. These clamps are installed at the front loading points of the left skid 2c and right skid 2d via two screws 3b and tightened with nuts 3g. The front skid Z-axis loading clamps 3a have cable grooves. The cable 3c is embedded in the cable grooves and connected at both ends by a triangular connector 3d. The other end of the triangular connector 3d is connected to the hydraulic loading device 6. The rear skid Z-axis loading clamps 3e have a similar structure to the front skid Z-axis loading clamps 3a and are tightened with nuts 3g after installation. Due to interference between the loading point location and the skid landing gear structure, a total of eight rear skid Z-axis loading clamps 3e are installed. The left skid... Four rear skid Z-axis loading clamps 3e are installed on 2c and the right skid 2d respectively. Every two rear skid Z-axis loading clamps 3e form a group and are connected to the skid through screws 3b. The rear skid Z-axis loading clamps 3e are provided with steel cable grooves. The steel cable 3c is embedded in the steel cable groove and the two ends of the steel cable 3c are connected by triangular connectors 3d. The other ends of the two triangular connectors 3d at the rear loading point of each skid are connected by levers 3f. The middle position of the levers 3f is connected to one end of the hydraulic loading device 6. After the installation position of the other end of the Z-axis hydraulic loading device 6 is pre-adjusted to the final deformation position calculated by the test, it is fixed on the universal load-bearing ground rail to complete the installation of the Z-axis loading component 3.
[0036] 3. The Y-axis loading assembly 4 has 16 Y-axis loading clamps 4a, installed in pairs, connected to the Z-axis loading clamps 3a by bolts 4b. The center of the Y-axis loading clamps 4a is located on the surface of the skid. At each loading point of the front and rear crossbeams, the two sets of Y-axis loading clamps 4a are connected by clamps to short beams 4c and long beams 4d. The installation of the Y-axis loading clamps 4a around the skid can be monitored and adjusted by measuring the angle of the side faces of the clamps connecting the short beams 4c and the long beams 4d. The hoop 4a is equipped with a cable groove. After the cable 3c is embedded in the cable groove, the two ends of the cable 3c are connected by the longitudinal lever 4e. The two sets of longitudinal levers 4e at each loading point of the front and rear crossbeams are respectively connected by the short lever 4g and the long lever 4h after being converted by the screw sleeve 4f. The middle position of the short lever 4g and the long lever 4h is connected to one end of the hydraulic loading device 6. After the installation position of the other end of the Y-direction hydraulic loading device 6 is pre-adjusted to the final deformation position calculated by the test, it is fixed on the general load-bearing wall to complete the installation of the Y-direction loading component 4.
[0037] 4. Eight X-axis loading clamps 5a of the X-axis loading assembly 5 are installed in pairs. Each pair of X-axis loading clamps is connected to four connecting plates 5b by special bolts 5c. The mounting hole in the middle of each connecting plate 5b is connected to the transfer bolt 2i of the skid landing gear assembly 2 and then locked with special nuts 5d. After assembly, each pair of X-axis loading clamps 5a will form a circular mounting groove concentric with the skid. Four double-ear clamps 5e are placed into the groove and connected to the front double-ear clamps 5f and the rear double-ear clamps 5g by small bolts 5h. The center of the ear plates on both sides of the front double-ear clamps 5f and the rear double-ear clamps 5g are... The connecting line is tangent to the surface of the skid, and the point of tangency is the position where the X-direction load is applied. The loading position is determined by detecting the installation angle of the double ears around the skid. The two side ears of the front double ears 5f and the rear double ears 5g are respectively connected to the steel cable 3c. The other end of the steel cable 3c connected to the two side ears of each set of double ears is respectively connected to the front lever 5i and the rear lever 5j. The middle position of the front lever 5i and the rear lever 5j is connected to one end of the hydraulic loading device 6. After adjusting the installation position of the other end of the X-direction hydraulic loading device 6 to the final deformation position calculated by the test, it is fixed to the universal load-bearing wall to complete the installation of the X-direction loading component 5.
[0038] 5. The hydraulic loading device 6 is equipped with a force sensor, actuator and control system to form a closed-loop control for loading and measurement.
