Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil level hydraulic monitoring, in particular to an oil tank liquid level monitoring component for a hydraulic pump source device. Background Art

[0002] The hydraulic pump source device for aviation is mainly composed of motors, hydraulic pumps, booster tanks and other components. It mainly converts the electrical energy on the aircraft into hydraulic energy. On the one hand, it is used in small hydraulic subsystems to complete specific actions such as aircraft weapon ejection and landing gear retraction and extension; on the other hand, it is used as an emergency hydraulic energy source to provide energy when the main hydraulic system fails so that the relevant actuators can complete the specified actions to ensure the safety of the aircraft. In order to determine whether the hydraulic pump source device can work normally, the oil level in the booster tank needs to be monitored.

[0003] However, the commonly used boost tank liquid level monitoring mechanism is to set a connecting rod on the tank piston, and the connecting rod is connected to the measuring rod of the linear displacement sensor. When the oil or spring pushes the piston to move, the connecting rod is driven to move, causing the measuring rod of the linear displacement sensor to extend and retract, thereby causing the current of the linear displacement sensor to change. After being converted into an electrical signal through a related circuit, it is fed back to the on-board control system, thereby monitoring the liquid level changes in the tank.

[0004] Therefore, the stroke of the linear displacement sensor's measuring rod determines the range of the tank level monitoring. For a larger boost tank, the stroke of the piston is larger, resulting in a larger volume and weight of the linear displacement sensor, which is not suitable for the development needs of small and light aircraft hydraulic pump source devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an oil tank liquid level monitoring component for a hydraulic pump source device. The utility model has the advantage of being able to reduce the volume and weight of the hydraulic pump source device.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows: a tank level monitoring component for a hydraulic pump source device, comprising a hydraulic pump housing, a tank shell, a piston assembly, a spring and a monitoring unit; the monitoring unit comprises a hydraulic guide rod, a measuring rod vertically connected to the hydraulic guide rod, a displacement sensor arranged on the measuring rod and a cable connected to the displacement sensor; the hydraulic guide rod is conical and horizontally arranged in the hydraulic pump housing, and a blind hole corresponding to the hydraulic guide rod is opened on the hydraulic pump housing; the end of the hydraulic guide rod is connected to the piston assembly; the hydraulic guide rod is connected to the piston assembly through a thread; the tank shell is connected to the hydraulic pump housing through a screw.

[0007] In the aforementioned oil tank level monitoring assembly for the hydraulic pump source device, the hydraulic guide rod is connected to the piston assembly via a thread; and the oil tank housing is connected to the hydraulic pump housing via a screw.

[0008] In the aforementioned oil tank level monitoring assembly for the hydraulic pump source device, an installation cavity for installing a measuring rod is provided on the hydraulic pump housing, and a displacement sensor is arranged at the top of the installation cavity; the measuring rod is vertically arranged in the installation cavity, a sealing ring is provided at the lower end of the measuring rod and fits with the installation cavity, and a return spring connected to the bottom of the displacement sensor is provided on the measuring rod.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a conical hydraulic guide rod located in the hydraulic pump housing, and provides a measuring rod perpendicular to the hydraulic guide rod. When the liquid level changes, the hydraulic guide rod will be driven to move in the hydraulic pump housing. The movement of the conical hydraulic guide rod will drive the vertical measuring rod to move in the radial direction. The displacement sensor current changes to obtain the liquid level change.

[0010] By providing a tapered hydraulic guide rod and a measuring rod perpendicular to the hydraulic guide rod, the stroke of the measuring rod is greatly reduced, thereby correspondingly reducing the volume and weight of the displacement sensor, and also reducing the volume and weight of the hydraulic pump source device.

[0011] Therefore, the present application has the advantage of being able to reduce the volume and weight of the hydraulic pump source device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
