Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of piston pressurization, and in particular to a ground simulation anti-load mechanism and system. Background Art

[0002] An anti-G device is used to improve a pilot's ability to withstand positive acceleration. When the aircraft experiences a positive G-load, the device's anti-G pressure regulator automatically injects a regulated pressure of gas into the suit based on the G-load value. This creates a certain surface pressure on the pilot's abdomen and legs, preventing blood from flowing to these areas and improving the body's tolerance to positive G-loads. Currently, all existing anti-G devices use a mechanical plunger-valve mechanism, which precisely controls the pressure under overload conditions through piston weight and feedback area, while also using a motor to assist in controlling the load.

[0003] However, under ground conditions without an overload environment, it is difficult to achieve high overload pressure testing relying solely on motors, which makes it difficult for ground simulated anti-load mechanisms to test the anti-load function of untested products, and it is impossible to know whether the products can be used normally.

[0027] The features and performance of the ground simulation anti-load mechanism of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a ground simulation anti-gravity mechanism, which includes a shell 100 with an air inlet 120 and an air outlet 130 at the bottom and the top respectively, an adjusting chamber 110, an air outlet chamber 132 and an air inlet chamber 121 arranged at intervals up and down and arranged on one side of the adjusting chamber 110, and an exhaust channel 131 connecting the air outlet 130 and the air outlet chamber 132, the air inlet 120 and the air inlet chamber 121 are connected, the adjusting chamber 110 is connected with the air outlet chamber 132 and the air inlet chamber 121 respectively, and a regulating piston 140 that can be raised and lowered, a voice coil motor 150 connected to the regulating piston 140 and a third piston 150 with two ends respectively pressing against the regulating piston 140 and the inner wall of the regulating chamber 110. A spring 160 is provided. The magnet of the voice coil motor 150 is connected to the regulating piston 140 to drive the regulating piston 140 to rise and fall along the regulating chamber 110. The first spring 160 is used to reset the regulating piston 140 that moves away from the voice coil motor 150. The inner wall of the regulating chamber 110 is provided with two raised rings 170 spaced apart from each other and sealingly engaged with the regulating piston 140. The outer wall of the regulating piston 140 is provided with an annular groove 180 extending along its circumference. The top and bottom surfaces of the annular groove 180 are inclined surfaces. When the regulating piston 140 moves along the regulating chamber 110, the raised rings 170 and the annular groove 180 cooperate to adjust the cross-sectional area of ​​the regulating chamber 110 to adjust the gas pressure entering the gas outlet 130 through the gas inlet 120.

[0029] A pressing seat 260 is provided on the top of the housing 100, and a liftable button 200 is connected to the pressing seat 260. The button 200 is connected to the voice coil motor 150 through a connecting mechanism. When the button 200 is lifted and lowered in the axial direction, the voice coil motor 150 and the regulating piston 140 are driven to lift and lower along the regulating chamber 110 through the connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a push block 210, two connecting rods 220 connected to the push blocks 210 at the top, a connecting frame 230 with one end fixedly sleeved on the two connecting rods 220, and a top rod 240 with one end connected to the other end of the connecting frame 230. The button 200 The bottom of the push rod 200 slides through the pressing seat 260 and then connects to the push block 210. The button 200 is equipped with a third spring 270 with two ends respectively pressing against the button 200 and the pressing seat 260. The third spring 270 is used to drive the button 200 to move in the opposite direction and reset after axial movement. The other end of the push rod 240 slides through the housing 100 and connects to the voice coil motor 150. The push rod 240 is equipped with a second spring 250 with two ends respectively pressing against the push rod 240 and the housing 100. The second spring 250 is used to drive the push rod 240 to move in the opposite direction and reset after axial movement. The bottom of the connecting rod 220 is equipped with a corresponding connecting rod seat 280. Each connecting rod 220 is equipped with a fourth spring 290 with two ends respectively pressing against the corresponding connecting rod seat 280 and the connecting frame 230.

[0030] A pressure-dividing chamber 300 is provided on the inner wall of the air outlet 130 of the shell 100, and a pressure-dividing piston 310 that can move along the pressure and horizontal directions is provided in the pressure-dividing chamber 300. A limiting sleeve 320 is also provided in the pressure-dividing chamber 300. The pressure-dividing piston 310 is connected to a pressure-dividing piston rod 330 that slides through the limiting sleeve 320. The pressure-dividing piston rod 330 is provided with a fifth spring 340 whose two ends are respectively connected to the limiting sleeve 320 and the pressure-dividing piston 310. The end of the pressure-dividing piston 310 away from the pressure-dividing piston rod 330 is provided with eight elastic buffer protrusions 350 arranged at intervals along the circumference.

[0031] When using the ground simulation anti-G mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application, the air inlet 120 at the bottom of the shell 100 is connected to the air source, and the air outlet 130 at the top of the shell 100 is connected to the anti-G pants. In the initial state, Figure 2 As shown, the button 200 is not pressed, and the regulating piston 140 is located at the top of the regulating chamber 110. At this time, the outer wall of the regulating piston 140 and the two convex rings 170 on the inner wall of the regulating chamber 110 are sealed together to isolate the air outlet chamber 132 and the air inlet chamber 121. The gas from the air source entering the air inlet 120 cannot enter the air outlet 130 through the regulating chamber 110 and enter the anti-G pants, which does not affect the normal operation of the anti-G pants.

[0032] When a small overload pressurization test is required, the voice coil motor 150 is controlled to drive the regulating piston 140 to descend along the regulating chamber 110 and compress the first spring 160, so that the annular groove 180 on the outer wall of the regulating piston 140 moves to the convex ring 170 on the inner wall of the regulating chamber 110, thereby connecting the air outlet chamber 132 and the air inlet chamber 121 through the gap between the annular groove 180 and the convex ring 170, so that the gas from the air source entering the air inlet 120 enters the air outlet 130 through the regulating chamber 110 and enters the anti-G pants to establish a certain pressure. However, since the upper surface area of ​​the annular groove 180 of the regulating piston 140 is larger than the lower surface area and the elastic force of the first spring 160, when the pressure in the anti-G pants is greater than 40 kPa, the thrust of the voice coil motor 150 is insufficient to continue to push the regulating piston 140 downward to increase the pressure;

[0033] When a large overload pressure test is required, such as Figure 3As shown, an external driving mechanism is used to push the button 200 to descend along the pressing seat 260 to compress the third spring 270, so that when the button 200 descends, it pushes the push block 210 to descend. When the push block 210 descends, it drives the two connecting rods 220 to descend, compresses the fourth spring 290 and drives the connecting frame 230 fixed on the two connecting rods 220 to descend. When the connecting frame 230 descends, it drives the push rod 240 to descend, compresses the second spring 250 and drives the voice coil motor 150 and the regulating piston 140 to further descend along the regulating chamber 110, so that the gap between the air outlet chamber 132 and the air inlet chamber 121 connected through the annular groove 180 and the convex ring 170 becomes larger, thereby increasing the pressure entering the air outlet 130 through the air inlet 120 and the regulating chamber 110 and entering the anti-G pants, so that the anti-G pants can establish a higher pressure to meet the requirements of ground testing.

[0034] When the large overload pressurization test is stopped, the external driving mechanism is stopped from being used to push the button 200 down along the pressing seat 260, so that the compressed second spring 250, third spring 270 and fourth spring 290 respectively push the push rod 240, button 200 and two connecting rods 220 to rise and reset to their original positions.

[0035] A pressure-dividing chamber 300 is provided on the inner wall of the air outlet 130 of the shell 100. When the pressure entering the air outlet 130 through the air inlet 120 and the regulating chamber 110 and entering the anti-load pants increases, the pressure pushes the pressure-dividing piston 310 in the pressure-dividing chamber 300 to move and compress the fifth spring 340, and an elastic buffer protrusion 350 is provided on one end of the pressure-dividing piston 310 away from the pressure-dividing piston rod 330 to press against the inner wall of the pressure-dividing chamber 300 for buffering, thereby avoiding damage to the equipment caused by excessive pressure in the shell 100.

[0036] The present application provides a ground simulation anti-G system, which includes the above-mentioned ground simulation anti-G mechanism and an air source connected to the air inlet 120.

[0037] The embodiments described above are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The detailed description of the embodiments of the present application is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
