DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The utility model is described in further detail.
[0025] Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 1 In order to solve the problem that the existing buffer has many types of parts, is difficult to manufacture, takes a long time to maintain, and has low efficiency, and cannot simultaneously meet the helicopter's landing gear take-off and landing performance requirements and the landing gear's crash resistance performance requirements, the utility model discloses a double-chamber double-throttle valve serial buffer, including an outer tube 1, characterized in that: an oil chamber 2 is provided in the outer tube 1, a low-pressure piston rod 3 is provided on one side of the outer tube 1, and a high-pressure piston rod 6 is provided on the other side of the outer tube 1, a low-pressure chamber throttle valve 4 is provided on the side of the low-pressure piston rod 3 close to the outer tube 1, a high-pressure chamber throttle valve 7 is provided on the side of the high-pressure piston rod 6 close to the outer tube 1, a low-pressure chamber 5 is provided in the low-pressure piston rod 3, and a high-pressure chamber 8 is provided in the high-pressure piston rod 6.
[0026] Based on the above characteristics, the working principle of this embodiment is: the buffer is compressed during the stroke, and the oil flows from the oil chamber 2 through the low-pressure throttle valve 4 into the low-pressure chamber 5, generating damping to consume part of the energy. At the same time, the air cavity volume of the low-pressure chamber 5 is compressed to absorb part of the energy, and the air pressure inside the low-pressure chamber 5 increases. When the stroke reaches a certain value and the air pressure in the low-pressure chamber 5 is equal to the initial pressure in the high-pressure chamber 8, the high-pressure chamber 8 begins to compress. At this time, the high-pressure chamber 8 is compressed together with the low-pressure chamber 5. During the reverse stroke, the buffer extends. Under the action of gas pressure, the oil flows into the oil chamber 2 through the low-pressure throttle valve 4 and the high-pressure throttle valve 7, generating damping to further consume energy. During normal landing, only the low-pressure chamber works. During a crash, the high-pressure chamber 8 and the low-pressure chamber 5 work simultaneously to absorb more energy.
[0027] Example 2, refer to Figure 2-4 In this embodiment, in order to solve the problem that the existing buffer has many types of parts, is difficult to manufacture, takes a long time to maintain, and has low buffer efficiency, and cannot simultaneously meet the helicopter's landing gear takeoff and landing performance requirements and the landing gear's crash resistance performance requirements, based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the dual-chamber dual-throttle valve serial buffer also includes a low-pressure piston rod 3 and a high-pressure piston rod 6 on the side away from each other. Both are provided with a joint bearing 9, a low-pressure charging valve 301 is provided on the side of the bottom of the low-pressure piston rod 3 away from the outer tube 1, and a high-pressure charging valve 601 is provided on the side of the bottom of the high-pressure piston rod 6 away from the outer tube 1, and the low-pressure chamber throttle valve 4 includes a first damping fixing plate 401, and the first damping fixing plate 401 is provided with four groups of first side oil holes 401 1. A first damping cylinder 402 is provided in a first damping fixed plate 401, a first damping orifice 403 is provided in the first damping cylinder 402, a first damping valve core 404 is provided on one side of the first damping orifice 403, a first spring 405 is sleeved on the outer side of the first damping valve core 404, a high-pressure chamber throttle valve 7 comprises a second damping fixed plate 701, four groups of second side oil holes 7011 are opened on the second damping fixed plate 701, a second damping cylinder 702 is provided in the second damping fixed plate 701, a second damping orifice 703 is provided in the second damping cylinder 702, a second damping valve core 704 is provided on one side of the second damping orifice 703, a second spring 705 is sleeved on the outer side of the second damping valve core 704, and a floating piston 706 is provided on one side of the second damping cylinder 702.
[0028] Based on the above features, the working principle of this embodiment is: during the reverse stroke, the first damping valve core 404 is pressed on the first damping orifice 403 under the action of the oil, and a central oil hole is opened on the first damping orifice 403. The first damping valve core 404 blocks the central oil hole under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 405, and only the first side oil hole 4011 works. When the movement speed of the piston rod in the positive stroke is relatively low, the action of the oil cannot overcome the elastic force of the first spring 405 to open the central oil hole, and only the first side oil hole 4011 works. When the movement speed of the low-pressure piston rod 3 reaches a certain level, the action of the oil overcomes the elastic force of the first spring 405 to open the central oil hole, and the first side oil hole 4011 and the central oil hole are opened at the same time to reduce the damping force and avoid excessive landing load. When the helicopter vibrates on the ground, the low-pressure piston rod 3 moves at a low speed, and the central oil hole is always in a closed state, providing greater damping to prevent ground resonance. The high-pressure chamber throttle valve 7 is composed of the same components and is fixed to the high-pressure piston rod 6 in the same way; the high-pressure piston rod 6 and the low-pressure piston rod 3 inside the buffer share an oil chamber 2. When installed, the low-pressure piston rod 3 faces upward. The low-pressure chamber 5 separates the oil from the gas due to the different densities of gas and oil. The high-pressure chamber 8 has a built-in floating piston 706 to separate the oil from the gas, thereby forming a low-pressure chamber 5, an oil chamber 2 and a high-pressure chamber 8, wherein the pressure of the high-pressure chamber 8 is higher than that of the low-pressure chamber 5. During normal landing, only the low-pressure chamber 5 works. During a crash, the high-pressure chamber 8 and the low-pressure chamber 5 work at the same time to absorb more energy.
[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
