TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aircraft, in particular to a stability-enhanced hub of an aircraft landing gear. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the scenarios of aircraft ground sliding, taking off and landing, the stability of the landing gear hub is crucial. The traditional landing gear hub is prone to reverse rotation during sliding due to the lack of effective one-way limiting structure, which leads to the loss of control of the aircraft attitude and increases the safety hazard. Moreover, most of the hubs do not have shock-absorbing components designed for rough roads, and the bumping during driving is obvious, which not only affects the service life of the hub, but also may cause additional impact on the aircraft fuselage, making it difficult to meet the stable operation requirements in complex ground environment.
[0003] The folding and unfolding and steering adjustment functions of the existing aircraft landing gear hub are mostly driven by independent structures, which have poor coordination. During folding and unfolding, the control accuracy is insufficient, and it is easy to cause jamming or position deviation, which affects the switching efficiency of the landing gear; the steering adjustment response is lagging, and it is difficult to quickly adapt to the change of ground sliding direction. At the same time, the lack of unified linkage design of each functional module leads to complicated overall operation, which cannot efficiently meet the multifunctional and high-reliability use requirements of the aircraft for the landing gear hub.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] 1. In this invention, when the aircraft moves on the ground, the tension spring pushes the hollow ratchet to mesh tightly with the reverse ratchet.

The control is precise and stable, and meets the switching of different working states of the landing gear.
[0020] 3. In this invention, the servo motor drives the fixed column to rotate, which in turn drives the second and third links to swing, causing the central shaft to rotate. Then, through the fixed ring and the fifth link, the hub body rotates synchronously, achieving precise steering adjustment to meet the directional requirements of the aircraft during ground taxiing or takeoff and landing.
[0021] 4. In this invention, when the wheel hub encounters a bumpy road surface, the impact pushes it upward, causing the buffer spring to compress and deform to absorb energy, the piston slide rod and rubber piston to slide, and the fifth link and fourth link to close together to assist in buffering, reducing bumps and improving the stability of the landing gear.
[0022] In summary, this invention, through the synergy of its various components, demonstrates outstanding performance in terms of stability enhancement, folding and unfolding, steering adjustment, and shock absorption, comprehensively ensuring the stable and precise operation of aircraft landing gear under different operating scenarios, and improving the safety and reliability of aircraft ground movement.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0032] Example 1: This example provides a stabilizing hub for aircraft landing gear. See [link to example]. Figures 1 to 6Specifically, the system includes a trapezoidal main plate 100, with vertically distributed fixed plates 106 fixed to the top front of the trapezoidal main plate 100. An L-shaped plate 107 is fixed to the front end of the fixed plate 106. A pair of symmetrically distributed triangular plates 101 are fixed to both sides of the front of the trapezoidal main plate 100. An inverted trapezoidal plate 102 is hinged between the front ends of the pair of triangular plates 101. A pair of fixed pins 119 are fixed to both ends of the inverted trapezoidal plate 102. The outer ends of the fixed pins 119 are rotatably inserted into the front ends of the triangular plates 101 on the same side. The inverted trapezoidal plate 102 can rotate around the fixed pins 119 to drive the central shaft 200 and the hub body 213 to move. A hollow cylinder 103 is fixed through the middle of the inverted trapezoidal plate 102. The L-shaped plate 107 is connected to the hollow cylinder 103 through a hinge mechanism. The trapezoidal main plate 100, fixed plate 106, L-shaped plate 107 and a pair of triangular plates 101 constitute the landing gear body.
[0033] A central shaft 200 is slidably inserted inside the hollow cylinder 103. A fixed plate 106 is connected to the central shaft 200 via a drive mechanism. A piston cavity 214 is formed in the lower middle section of the central shaft 200. A piston rod 202 is slidably inserted inside the piston cavity 214. The piston rod 202 can transmit the impact of the hub body 213 and drive the rubber piston 216 to slide. A rubber piston 216 is fixed at the top end of the piston rod 202. The rubber piston 216 is slidably engaged in the piston cavity 214. The rubber piston 216 moves along with the piston rod 202. The piston slide rod 202 has a double-headed rod-shaped ring 203 fixed at its bottom end. A pair of symmetrically distributed T-shaped slide rods 207 are fixed at both ends of the double-headed rod-shaped ring 203. A fixed shaft 208 is fixed at the outer end of the T-shaped slide rod 207. A fixed sleeve 209 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 208. The fixed sleeve 209 can drive the hub body 213 and the reverse ratchet 212 to rotate synchronously. The hub body 213 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the fixed sleeve 209, and the T-shaped slide rod 207 is connected to the hub body 213 on the same side through the ratchet assembly.
[0034] It should be noted that: such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ratchet assembly includes a reverse ratchet 212 and a hollow ratchet 210. The reverse ratchet 212 is fixedly sleeved on the inner side of the fixed sleeve 209, and can only rotate in the same direction as the teeth of the hollow ratchet 210, restricting the hub body 213 from rotating in the opposite direction. The reverse ratchet 212 is integrally formed with the hub body 213. The hollow ratchet 210 is slidably sleeved on the T-shaped slide bar 207. The ratchet teeth of the hollow ratchet 210 are arranged opposite to the ratchet teeth of the reverse ratchet 212, and the reverse ratchet 212 rotates in the same direction as the hollow ratchet 210.
[0035] A square sliding hole is provided in the middle of the hollow ratchet 210. The T-shaped slide bar 207 is slidably inserted into the square sliding hole, and a tension spring 211 is sleeved on the T-shaped slide bar 207 to maintain tension. The two ends of the tension spring 211 are fixedly connected to the T-shaped slide bar 207 and the hollow ratchet 210 respectively. The hollow ratchet 210 is kept engaged with the reverse ratchet 212 by the tension spring 211, which restricts the rotation direction of the reverse ratchet 212.
[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the hollow cylinder 103 and the inverted trapezoidal plate 102 are driven to rotate along a pair of fixed pins 119 through the hinge mechanism, thereby driving the central shaft 200 and a pair of wheel hub bodies 213 to move synchronously. When flipped upward, the overall structure is folded and stored, and when flipped downward, it is unfolded to meet the working requirements of the landing gear.
[0037] The angle of the central shaft 200 is adjusted by the drive mechanism. Since the central shaft 200 is linked with the hub body 213 through the piston slide rod 202, double-headed rod ring 203, T-shaped slide rod 207, fixed shaft 208, and fixed sleeve 209, the steering adjustment of the central shaft 200 will simultaneously drive a pair of hub bodies 213 to complete the precise control of the steering angle, so as to adapt to the directional requirements of the aircraft when taxiing or taking off and landing on the ground.
[0038] When the hub body 213 rolls on the ground to move the aircraft, the tension spring 211 remains under tension. This tension continuously pushes the hollow ratchet 210 to move towards the reverse ratchet 212, ensuring that the two remain tightly engaged. Due to the reverse ratchet tooth design, the reverse ratchet 212 can only rotate in the same direction as the teeth of the hollow ratchet 210 and cannot rotate in the opposite direction. The hub body 213 is restricted to unidirectional rotation synchronously with the reverse ratchet 212, effectively avoiding the attitude instability caused by the reverse rotation of the hub body 213 when the aircraft moves on the ground, thus achieving a stabilization function.
[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example solves the problems of unclear drive and insufficient folding / unfolding control precision in Example 1 by using a hinge mechanism composed of a U-shaped connecting plate 108, a first connecting rod 109, and an electric telescopic cylinder 111. This achieves precise and stable drive for folding and unfolding the hollow cylinder 103, the central shaft 200, and the hub body 213. It also includes:
[0040] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the hinge mechanism includes a U-shaped connecting plate 108 and a first connecting rod 109. A rectangular notch is provided at the bottom front of the hollow cylinder 103. A pair of first ear seats 104 are fixed on both sides of the rectangular notch, and a T-shaped connecting seat 105 is hinged between the pair of first ear seats 104. The T-shaped connecting seat 105 can transmit the force of the first connecting rod 109, driving the hollow cylinder 103 and the inverted trapezoidal plate 102 to rotate. A pair of third ear seats 117 are fixed at the bottom end of the L-shaped plate 107, and the pair of third ear seats... A U-shaped connecting plate 108 is hinged between the seats 117. The U-shaped connecting plate 108 can swing under the drive of the electric telescopic cylinder 111, driving the first connecting rod 109 to move. The first connecting rod 109 is hinged to the open end of the U-shaped connecting plate 108. The first connecting rod 109 can transmit the force of the U-shaped connecting plate 108 to pull or push the T-shaped connecting seat 105. The bottom end of the first connecting rod 109 is U-shaped and is movably hinged to the outer end of the T-shaped connecting seat 105.
[0041] A pair of fourth ear seats 118 are fixedly provided at the inner top end of the L-shaped plate 107, and a first single ear seat is hinged between the pair of fourth ear seats 118. The outer end of the first single ear seat is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of the electric telescopic cylinder 111. The electric telescopic cylinder 111 can drive the U-shaped connecting plate 108 to swing by extending or shortening the telescopic rod, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding of the stabilizing hub. A second single ear seat is fixedly provided at the end of the telescopic rod of the electric telescopic cylinder 111. A pair of vertically distributed second ear seats 110 are fixedly provided on the U-shaped connecting plate 108. The outer end of the second single ear seat is hinged between the pair of second ear seats 110.
[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the stabilizer hub needs to be folded and stored, the electric telescopic cylinder 111 is activated and its telescopic rod is extended. Since the electric telescopic cylinder 111 is hinged between a pair of fourth ear seats 118 through the first single ear seat, and the end of its telescopic rod is hinged between the second ear seats 110 through the second single ear seat, the extension of the telescopic rod will cause the U-shaped connecting plate 108 to swing upward around its hinge point with a pair of third ear seats 117.
[0043] As the U-shaped connecting plate 108 swings upward, the first connecting rod 109 is pulled simultaneously, which in turn drives the T-shaped connecting seat 105. The force on the T-shaped connecting seat 105 will drive the hollow cylinder 103 and the inverted trapezoidal plate 102 to flip upward along a pair of fixed pins 119, and finally drive the central shaft 200 and a pair of wheel hub bodies 213 to flip upward simultaneously, completing the folding of the overall structure.
[0044] When the stabilizing hub needs to be unfolded to meet the work requirements, the electric telescopic cylinder 111 drives its telescopic rod to shorten. The shortening of the telescopic rod will pull the U-shaped connecting plate 108 to swing downward around its hinge point with a pair of third lugs 117.
[0045] When the U-shaped connecting plate 108 swings downward, it pushes the T-shaped connecting seat 105 through the first connecting rod 109, causing the T-shaped connecting seat 105 to drive the hollow cylinder 103 to flip downward, thereby simultaneously driving the central shaft 200 and a pair of wheel hub bodies 213 to flip downward, ultimately realizing the deployment of the stabilized wheel hub and providing support for the subsequent operation of the aircraft landing gear.
[0046] Example 3: Based on Example 2, this example solves the problems of unclear steering adjustment drive and lack of shock absorption function of the wheel hub in Example 2 by using a drive mechanism composed of servo motor 112, second link 115, and third link 116, and a shock absorption structure composed of buffer spring 204, fifth link 206, and fourth link 205. It achieves precise steering adjustment of the wheel hub body 213 and shock absorption when rolling on bumpy roads. It also includes:
[0047] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a servo motor 112, a second link 115, and a third link 116. The servo motor 112 with its output end facing downward is fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the fixed plate 106. The servo motor 112 can drive the fixed column 113 to rotate, providing power for the steering of the hub body 213. The end of the motor shaft of the servo motor 112 rotates through the fixed plate 106 and is fixedly sleeved on the fixed column 113. The fixed column 113 can rotate synchronously with the motor shaft of the servo motor 112, causing the second link 115 to swing. The bottom surface of the fixed column 113 is provided with a movable hinged second link 115. The second link 115 can swing with the rotation of the fixed column 113, transmitting driving force to the third link 116. The bottom end of the second link 115 is provided with a movable hinged third link 116. The bottom end of the third link 116 is movablely hinged to the top end of the central shaft 200. The third link 116 can transmit the swing of the second link 115, causing the central shaft 200 to rotate.
[0048] A U-shaped seat is fixed to the bottom surface of the fixed column 113. The top end of the second connecting rod 115 is U-shaped and hinged to the U-shaped seat through a cross pin. Both ends of the third connecting rod 116 are U-shaped and hinged to the bottom end of the second connecting rod 115. A U-shaped seat is fixed to the top end of the central shaft 200. The bottom end of the third connecting rod 116 is hinged to the U-shaped seat through a cross pin.
[0049] The bottom end of the central shaft 200 is fixed with a fixed ring 201 that communicates with the piston cavity 214. The lower half of the piston slide rod 202 is fitted with a buffer spring 204. The upper and lower ends of the buffer spring 204 are fixed to the fixed ring 201 and the double-headed rod ring 203, respectively. The buffer spring 204 can absorb the impact energy of the hub body 213 through compression deformation to achieve shock absorption.
[0050] A pair of fifth ear seats 215 are fixedly provided on the back of the fixed ring 201, and a fifth connecting rod 206 is hinged between the pair of fifth ear seats 215. The fifth connecting rod 206 can swing with the movement of the double-headed rod ring 203 to help buffer the impact. A pair of parallel fourth connecting rods 205 are hinged at the bottom end of the fifth connecting rod 206. The fourth connecting rods 205 can close towards the middle with the swing of the fifth connecting rod 206 to help buffer the impact. A third single ear seat is fixedly provided on the back of the double-headed rod ring 203. The third single ear seat is movably hinged to the bottom end of the pair of fourth connecting rods 205.
[0051] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the steering adjustment of the wheel hub body 213 is required, the servo motor 112 is started. The motor shaft of the servo motor 112 drives the fixed column 113 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the fixed column 113 will drive the second link 115 to swing synchronously. Therefore, the swing of the second link 115 will drive the third link 116 and the central shaft 200 to rotate in sequence. The rotation of the central shaft 200 will drive the double-headed rod ring 203, the T-shaped slide bar 207, the fixed shaft 208, the fixed sleeve 209 and the wheel hub body 213 to rotate synchronously through the fixed ring 201, the fifth link 206 and the fourth link 205, thus completing the precise steering adjustment.
[0052] When the wheel hub body 213 rolls on the ground and encounters an uneven road surface, the impact of the ground will push the wheel hub body 213 to move upward, and then drive the double-headed rod ring 203 to move upward through the fixed sleeve 209, fixed shaft 208, and T-shaped slide bar 207.
[0053] When the double-headed rod ring 203 moves upward, it will simultaneously drive the piston slide rod 202 to slide upward along the piston cavity 214 of the central axis 200, and the rubber piston 216 will also slide upward along the piston cavity 214; at the same time, the buffer spring 204 will be compressed and deformed due to the upward movement of the double-headed rod ring 203, and the elastic deformation of the spring will absorb part of the impact energy.
[0054] During this process, the fifth link 206 moves upward along with the double-headed rod-shaped ring 203 and moves synchronously towards the middle with a pair of fourth links 205, further assisting in buffering the impact, and finally achieving shock absorption and buffering of a pair of wheel hub bodies 213 when rolling on bumpy roads, thereby improving the running stability of the aircraft landing gear.
