[0029] The embodiments of the present application provide a multifunctional trolley measuring device for aircraft, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The multifunctional trolley measuring device for aircraft includes a trolley frame 1, a moving mechanism 6, a measuring system 3, at least two supporting mechanisms 2 and a plurality of adjustable foot mechanisms 5. The at least two supporting mechanisms 2 are arranged on the top of the trolley frame 1 and are used to support the aircraft landing gear. The mounting position of the supporting mechanism 2 on the trolley frame 1 can be adjusted and locked along the length direction thereof to adapt to aircraft landing gears of different specifications. The moving mechanism 6 is arranged on the bottom of the trolley frame 1. The plurality of adjustable foot mechanisms 5 are arranged circumferentially on the trolley frame 1 and can be adjusted and locked in the vertical direction relative to the trolley frame 1 to support and adjust the trolley frame 1 in the measurement mode. The measuring system 3 includes a display 34 and a plurality of tension and pressure sensors 33. The tension and pressure sensors 33 are arranged between the trolley frame 1 and the adjustable foot mechanisms 5, and the display 34 is electrically connected with the tension and pressure sensors 33 and is used to display the measurement value. Wherein, the trolley can be switched between the transportation mode and the measurement mode by changing the connection state between the measuring system 3 and the adjustable foot mechanisms 5. In the measurement mode, the load of the aircraft is transmitted to the adjustable foot mechanisms 5 through the trolley frame 1 and the measuring system 3 and is sensed by the tension and pressure sensors 33.
[0030] In an embodiment of the present application, the tension and compression force sensor 33 is in an S-shaped structure.
[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, four adjustable leg mechanisms 5 and four tension and compression force sensors 33 are symmetrically arranged about the longitudinal and transverse central axes of the trolley frame 1. This symmetrical layout ensures uniform distribution and accurate measurement of the load, providing a structural basis for weight and gravity center calculation. Correspondingly, the moving mechanism 6 also includes four moving wheels 61 arranged circumferentially at the bottom of the trolley frame 1, two of which are directional wheels and the other two are universal wheels. This configuration ensures both stability during straight movement and flexibility during steering.
[0032] It should be noted that the present application changes the connection state between the measurement system 3 and the adjustable leg mechanism 5 to switch between the transportation mode and the measurement mode. In the measurement mode, the aircraft body gravity center can be intuitively leveled by adjusting the position of the support mechanism 2 and combining the display values of the tension and compression force sensor 33; the weight of the aircraft can be obtained by reading the values of the tension and compression force sensor 33; and the rotor lift can be evaluated according to the value changes of the tension and compression force sensor 33 by fixing the aircraft to the trolley frame 1 and starting the rotor. Therefore, the present application solves the problems of high equipment cost, large storage space occupation, and complicated process switching caused by the coexistence of multiple toolings in the prior art, realizes "one trolley with multiple functions", reduces the supporting cost and operation threshold, and improves the efficiency and convenience of ground service support.
[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the support mechanism 2 includes a landing gear placing table 21 and a spacing adjustment assembly 22. The trolley frame 1 is provided with an adjustment slot 11 along the length direction of the trolley frame 1 on both sides. The spacing adjustment assembly 22 passes through the adjustment slot 11 to lock the landing gear placing table 21 to the trolley frame 1.
[0034] It should be noted that the present application embodiment sets the support mechanism 2 which can move along the adjustment slot 11 of the trolley frame 1 and be locked, so that one trolley can adapt to landing gears of different specifications of aircrafts, improving the universality of the equipment.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the spacing adjustment assembly 22 includes a fixed eye ring 221 and an adjustment bolt 222. The adjustment bolt 222 and the fixed eye ring 221 are respectively located on both sides of the landing gear placing table 21 and connected with the trolley frame 1 to jointly lock the position of the landing gear placing table 21.
[0036] It should be noted that the adjusting bolt 222 and the fixed lifting ring 221 of the present application are used to jointly lock the landing gear placing table 21 from both sides, which not only provides stable and reliable clamping force to ensure that the supporting mechanism 2 does not displace during measurement, but also integrates the function of the fixed lifting ring 221, which can be directly used as a binding point to connect the aircraft body and the trolley frame 1 during evaluation of the rotor lift of the aircraft, thereby simplifying the operation process.
[0037] In the present application, the supporting mechanism 2 further comprises a limiting pad 23. The limiting pad 23 is detachably arranged on the landing gear placing table 21, and is used to adapt to landing gears of different specifications of aircrafts and limit the horizontal movement thereof.
[0038] Specifically, the top of the limiting pad 23 is provided with a limiting groove 231 matched with the profile of the landing gear of the aircraft, which effectively limits the horizontal movement of the aircraft and ensures that the aircraft always maintains a stable and centered posture during transportation and measurement, thereby providing a necessary condition for obtaining accurate weight and center of gravity data. Meanwhile, this design makes it only necessary to replace the corresponding limiting pad 23 when adapting to aircrafts of different models, which is simple to operate and has strong versatility.
[0039] Specifically, the landing gear placing table 21 is a channel steel, which provides a standard installation reference for the detachable limiting pad 23.
[0040] In the present application, the measuring system 3 further comprises a plurality of sensor mounting brackets 31 and a plurality of locking members 32. The two ends of the tension and compression force sensor 33 are respectively detachably connected to the top of the trolley frame 1 and the corresponding sensor mounting bracket 31. The sensor mounting bracket 31 is sleeved on the outer wall of the corresponding adjustable foot mechanism 5, and the side wall thereof is provided with a connecting hole. The locking member 32 is inserted into the connecting hole and can engage with the adjustable foot mechanism 5 to lock the sensor mounting bracket 31 on the adjustable foot mechanism 5.
[0041] Specifically, the two ends of the tension and compression force sensor 33 are connected to the top of the trolley frame 1 and the corresponding sensor mounting bracket 31 through fastening connecting members, respectively.
[0042] It should be noted that the design of the sensor mounting bracket 31 and the locking member 32 of the present application realizes quick and reliable switching of the connection state between the measuring system 3 and the adjustable foot mechanism 5. By tightening the locking member 32 to engage the sensor mounting bracket 31 with the adjustable foot mechanism 5, a force transmission path is established, and the measurement mode is entered. After loosening, the two are separated, and the transportation mode is switched back. This structure is the key to realizing the core function of the trolley "one machine with multiple functions", which is simple and fast to operate, and effectively solves the problem of complicated switching process and low efficiency between different operations in the background technology.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the adjustable foot mechanism 5 comprises a fixed foot 51, and the fixed foot 51 has a screw rod part 511. The trolley frame 1 is provided with a plurality of guide blocks 52, and the guide blocks 52 are provided with through holes for the screw rod part 511 to pass through. The outer wall of the screw rod part 511 is sleeved with a lower limiting nut 53. The lower limiting nut 53 is located below the guide block 52, and is used for adjusting and bearing the trolley frame 1.
[0044] The outer wall of the screw rod part 511 is sleeved with an upper limiting nut 54. The upper limiting nut 54 is located above the guide block 52, and is used for limiting the maximum stroke of the upward movement of the fixed foot 51 relative to the guide block 52, and plays a safety protection role in tests such as rotor lift evaluation.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the trolley frame 1 is provided with a traction lug 4.
[0046] It should be noted that the trolley of the present application can realize the switching between the transportation mode and the measurement mode. When moving in the transportation mode, the locking part 32 is loosened to separate the sensor mounting bracket 31 from the adjustable foot mechanism 5, and the upper limiting nut 54 and the lower limiting nut 53 are adjusted to make the bottom of the fixed foot 51 higher than the moving wheel 61, then the locking mechanism of the universal wheel is loosened and the traction lug 4 is connected to realize movement. When fixed, the fixed foot 51 is adjusted in the reverse direction to make the bottom lower than the moving wheel 61 and the universal wheel is locked. When switched to the measurement mode, the universal wheel is first locked, the fixed foot 51 is adjusted to support and ensure that the landing gear placement table 21 is horizontal, then the locking part 32 is tightened to connect the sensor mounting bracket 31, and finally the lower limiting nut 53 is loosened to establish a measurement path, so that the weight of the aircraft can be measured. On the basis of the measurement mode, advanced applications can be further performed. When the center of gravity is balanced, the position of the landing gear placement table 21 is adjusted according to the design of the front and rear center of gravity of the aircraft, so that the projection is coincided with the center of gravity of the trolley, and then the counterweight is adjusted according to the readings of the four tension and pressure sensors 33 until the values are balanced. When the rotor lift is evaluated, the trolley is anchored to the ground by using the ground peg holes on the fixed foot 51, and the aircraft body is connected with the trolley frame 1 by using the binding belt passing through the fixed lifting ring 221, after the rotor is started, the lift performance can be evaluated by monitoring the change of the tension and pressure values of all the fixed feet 51.
[0047] Each of the embodiments in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments.
[0048] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
