Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of angle measurement and adjustment, and in particular relates to a rapid angle measurement system for emergency cabin opening of an aircraft cabin door system. Background Art

[0002] The emergency hatch door opening angle refers to the specified angle that the bomb bay door is required to turn to during emergency release of the bomb bay, so as to ensure that the items can be released quickly and effectively without hitting the hatch door. In aviation repair, the emergency hatch door opening angle is an important indicator that must be measured. The hatch door opening process is uncontrolled, but the closing process is controllable, so the hatch door opening angle during emergency release can be measured in reverse. At present, an optical quadrant is usually used for measurement. The specific method is: close the hatch door by manual hand-cranking. When the hatch door moves to the point where the micro switch turns from on to off, stop shaking manually, place the optical quadrant on the flat surface of the right hatch door, adjust the bubble of the optical quadrant to the center position, and then record the data of the optical quadrant. However, when using an optical quadrant for measurement, firstly, the human ear is needed to judge the on and off of the micro switch. The sound of the hatch door is noisy and the sound of the micro switch is small, which is not conducive to the timely judgment of the human ear. Secondly, due to the structure of the optical quadrant itself, it takes a long time to adjust the horizontal bubble, and the hatch door will slowly open under the action of gravity, and the accuracy of the measured angle is not high. Thirdly, since the optical quadrant cannot be fixed on the inner surface of the hatch door, the reference surface of each measurement is inconsistent, resulting in inconsistent initial angles and deviations in the measured angles each time. Therefore, the use of an optical quadrant for measurement results in a slow process, many repeated measurements, and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A rapid measurement system for the emergency opening angle of an aircraft cabin door system includes a micro switch 1, a pressure-actuated component, a converter 2, a self-locking inclination digital display 3 and an inclination sensor 4.

[0027] The aircraft door system comprises an aircraft panel 8, a drum 9, a left door 10 and a right door 11. The drum 9 is installed in the middle of the aircraft panel and is used to drive the left door 10 and the right door 11 located on both sides of the aircraft panel to rotate.

[0028] When it is necessary to open the cabin door for a delivery operation, the aircraft control system outputs an emergency delivery signal 6 according to the delivery instruction, and the emergency delivery signal 6 is a DC voltage signal.

[0029] The inclination sensor 4 is installed on the surface of the door and connected to the self-locking inclination display 3 via a cable, so as to collect the angle information of the door when it is folded or opened in real time and upload it to the self-locking inclination display 3 synchronously.

[0030] The pressure assembly and the micro switch are both fixed on the aircraft wall panel and are located between the two cabin doors. The micro switch is close to the pressure assembly. When the cabin door is rotated to open, the pressure assembly can move under the drive of the drum wheel, and can press the micro switch to turn on the micro switch when the cabin door is fully opened. The connection and disconnection of the micro switch 1 is controlled by the movement of the cabin door. When the cabin door is closed, the common end o of the micro switch 1 is connected to the normally closed section cb and disconnected from the normally open end ck; when the cabin door is opened and rotated through a set angle, the pressure assembly connected to the cabin door moves with the rotation of the cabin door, pressing the roller on the micro switch and disconnecting the common end o on the micro switch from the normally closed end cb and connecting to the normally open end ck.

[0031] The pressing assembly includes a bracket, a pull rod and a pressure block. The bracket is fixed on the aircraft wall panel 8, and the pull rod is installed on the bracket. When the cabin door rotates, the pull rod can move up and down along the bracket under the push of the drum wheel 9. The pressure block is fixed at the bottom of the pull rod and is used to press the roller of the micro switch when the cabin door is opened to a set angle, so that the common end of the micro switch is connected to the normally open end.

[0032] The normally open end of the micro switch 1 is connected to the positive input terminal of the converter 2, and the negative input terminal of the converter 2 is connected to the ground return terminal of the aircraft cabin door through a cable 5; the output end of the converter is connected to the circuit module of the self-locking inclination digital display 3.

[0033] When the hatch is closed, the normally closed end cb of the micro switch is connected to the common end; when the hatch is opened to a set angle, the common end o of the micro switch is connected to the normally open end ck; the converter 2 can convert the emergency release signal 6 into a digital signal and transmit it to the self-locking inclination angle digital display 3, cutting off the inclination sensor from continuing to transmit angle information, and the self-locking inclination angle digital display 3 locks and displays the hatch opening angle at the time of disconnection, which is the hatch emergency opening angle.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 The converter includes a sampling and holding circuit and an ADC quantization and coding circuit connected in series; the ADC quantization and coding circuit is used to convert the voltage signal into a digital signal so that the digital signal on the inclinometer is maintained when the signal is cut off. The sampling and holding circuit is used to maintain the stability of the voltage signal during the process of converting the voltage signal into a digital signal.

[0035] The sampling and holding circuit includes an analog switch and a capacitor. The input end of the analog switch is connected to the normally open end of the micro switch. The output end of the analog switch is connected to one end of the capacitor. The other end of the capacitor is connected to the ground return end of the hatch.

[0036] When using the utility model for measurement, first install the inclination sensor 1 on the surface of the hatch, and at the same time retract the hatch. The inclination sensor 1 collects the angle information of the hatch and transmits it to the self-locking inclination digital display 3. Press the reset key of the inclination digital display to perform the zeroing operation, and set the angle of the initial position of the hatch to zero. The angle value displayed by the inclination digital display 2 is the angle of the hatch turned.

[0037] When the aircraft control system sends out an emergency delivery signal according to the emergency delivery instruction, the cabin door starts to rotate, and the inclination sensor 1 uploads the collected cabin door rotation angle information to the self-locking inclination digital display 3 in real time. The angle displayed by the self-locking inclination digital display is the angle of the cabin door. When the cabin door is opened to a preset angle, the pressing block of the pressing assembly connected to the cabin door contacts the roller of the micro switch, and the pressing block presses the micro switch, so that the normally closed end cb of the micro switch is disconnected from the common end o, and the common end is connected to the normally open end ck. The emergency delivery signal 6 is transmitted to the converter 2 through the normally open end ck of the micro switch. The converter 2 quickly converts the received emergency delivery signal into a digital signal recognizable by the self-locking inclination digital display and outputs it to the self-locking inclination digital display. The converted digital signal is used as a locking signal to disconnect the inclination sensor from transmitting information to the inclination digital display, and lock the current angle value. The locked angle value is the cabin door emergency delivery opening angle. The measured cabin door emergency delivery opening angle is compared with the specified cabin door emergency opening angle to determine whether the cabin door rotation angle meets the design requirements.

[0038] If the measured hatch door emergency opening angle is less than the specified value, rotate the adjusting screw on the microswitch counterclockwise to increase the connection stroke of the microswitch, thereby extending the connection time of the microswitch and increasing the hatch door emergency opening angle; if the measured hatch door emergency opening angle is greater than the specified value, rotate the adjusting screw on the microswitch clockwise to reduce the connection stroke of the microswitch, thereby shortening the connection time of the microswitch and reducing the hatch door emergency opening angle.

[0039] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
