Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machinery, in particular to a locking device for a clamping mechanism of a rodless tractor. Background Art

[0002] The aircraft towbarless tractor is a modern airport ground support equipment used to tow aircraft during takeoff, landing or maintenance. Unlike traditional towbar tractors, towbarless tractors are not connected to the aircraft through a special towing rod, but directly hold the front wheels of the aircraft through its unique clamping-lifting device to move the aircraft. The clamping mechanism locking device is a key part of the towbarless aircraft tractor. It can ensure that the front wheels are firmly held by the tractor during the movement of the aircraft to prevent the front wheels of the aircraft from falling off or shifting due to shaking or swaying. This locking device is usually hydraulically driven and can adjust the clamping force according to the weight and size of the aircraft to ensure that the front wheels of the aircraft are fixed safely and reliably.

[0003] After searching, a new type of electric omnidirectional towbarless tractor is disclosed in the announcement number: CN206202719U, including a vehicle body, an omnidirectional wheel set, an automatic navigation device, a safety obstacle avoidance device, a clamping and lifting device and a hydraulic control system. The omnidirectional wheel set is installed at the bottom of the vehicle body, the automatic navigation device is installed in the front of the vehicle body, the safety obstacle avoidance device is installed around the vehicle body, the clamping and lifting device is installed in the middle of the vehicle body, and the hydraulic control system is used to drive the clamping and lifting device. The clamping position of the clamping and lifting device of the utility model is close to the middle of the vehicle body, and the counterweight can be achieved by relying on the deadweight of the hydraulic control system without adding additional counterweights; four or eight sets of omnidirectional wheels are used for driving, so the traction power is large and the position and direction control accuracy is high; the hydraulic control system has buffering and emergency unloading functions, and the clamping and lifting process is safe and reliable. In this application, a widened structure is adopted, which can adapt to both single-wheel and double-wheel aircraft landing gear structures. When the aircraft is towed in this way, the front wheels are not correctly clamped and fixed, and may sway or move during the towing process, causing the aircraft to lose balance and may hit nearby obstacles, or cause serious safety accidents when moving at high speeds.

[0027] Specifically, firstly, the slide bar 4 is driven to move through the output end of the cylinder 3. The slide bar 4 plays a vital role in transmitting the force of the cylinder 3 to the two push rods 5. When the slide bar 4 moves, the push rod 5 will also move accordingly. Through the shape and design of the push rod 5, its movement is converted into the movement of the C-shaped rod 6. The two ends of the C-shaped rod 6 are connected to four connecting rods 7, which carry one end of the rotating rod 9. Through the other end of the rotating rod 9, the clamp 10 is driven to fit with the front wheel, which means the successful positioning and stable clamping of the front wheel of the aircraft, providing a solid guarantee for the safe landing of the aircraft.

[0029] Specifically, when the front wheel of the aircraft moves to between the positioning plate 11 and the baffle 12 in the positioning assembly, it reaches a specific position and achieves a positioning effect.

[0030] Reference Figure 4-5Both ends of the slide rod 14 are fixedly connected with a push rod 2 13, the outer wall of the push rod 2 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed plate 2, one end of the push rod 2 13 is rotatably connected to a locking plate 14, the outer wall of the locking plate 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support 1, the bottom of the locking plate 14 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 24, the lower surface of the rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support 1, the inside of the locking plate 14 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 2 15, the output end of the cylinder 2 15 is fixedly connected to a slide plate 16, the outer wall of the slide plate 16 Slidingly connected to the inside of the locking plate 14, the inner wall of the slide plate 16 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 2 17, one end of the sliding rod 2 17 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2 18, the inside of the connecting rod 2 18 is fixedly connected to a rotating column 19, both ends of the rotating column 19 are rotatably connected to the inside of the locking plate 14, the outer wall of the connecting rod 2 18 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 20, the outer wall of the clamping plate 20 is slidably connected to a locking plate 23, the inside of the locking plate 23 is provided with a sliding groove 22, and the inside of the locking plate 23 is fixedly connected to a fixed column 21;

[0031] Specifically, first, the two push rods 2 13 are driven by the movement of the slide bar 1 4 to ensure that the locking plate 14 and the locking plate 2 23 rotate accurately inside the support 1. During the operation of the locking system, the slide bar 2 17 is driven to move by the cylinder 2 15, and then one end of the slide bar 2 17 drives one end of the connecting rod 2 18 to move. At the same time, the other end of the connecting rod 2 18 rotates on the outer wall of the rotating column 19, thereby driving the two clamping plates 20 to fit together, with the purpose of clamping and fixing the fixing column 21 inside the locking plate 23. The fixation between the locking plate 14 and the locking plate 23 achieves the effect of locking the front wheel.

[0032] Working principle: When the locking device of the clamping mechanism of the rodless tractor is needed, first, when the front wheel of the aircraft moves to between the positioning plate 11 and the baffle 12, it reaches a specific position to achieve the positioning effect, and then the output end of the cylinder 3 drives the slide bar 4 to move, thereby driving the two push rods 5 to move, and then the movement of the push rod 5 drives the two C-shaped rods 6 to move, and then the four connecting rods 7 are driven to move through the two ends of the C-shaped rod 6, so that one end of the rotating rod 9 is driven to rotate through the connecting rod 7 and the rotating shaft 8, and then the other end of the rotating rod 9 drives the clamp 10 to fit with the front wheel to achieve the clamping effect. At the same time, the movement of the slide bar 4 drives the two push rods 13 The locking plate 14 and the locking plate 23 are moved by the movement of the push rod 13, so that the locking plate 14 and the locking plate 23 are fitted together. Then, the slide plate 16 is driven to move by the output end of the cylinder 15 inside the locking plate 14, thereby driving one end of the slide bar 17 to move, and then driving one end of the connecting rod 18 to move by the other end of the slide bar 17, and then driving the two clamping plates 20 to fit together while the other end of the connecting rod 18 rotates on the outer wall of the rotating column 19, thereby clamping and fixing the fixed column 21 inside the locking plate 23, and then fixing the locking plate 14 and the locking plate 23, thereby achieving the effect of locking the front wheel.
