Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aeronautical landing gear, in particular to an oil-gas isolation type stable buffer for landing gear. BACKGROUND

[0002] The hydraulic buffer mainly realizes two functions of buffering and resetting, when the high-speed running object suddenly impacts the buffer, through the throttling and energy storage effect, the object is controlled to decelerate and gradually stop running, and then reset. At present, most of the aircraft landing gears adopt oil-gas type buffers. The internal design of the oil-gas type buffer has been improving and developing. In order to improve the capacity absorption capacity of the landing gear buffer and reduce the dynamic load of the landing gear during landing, especially during ground sliding and operation, a single-stage double-cavity buffer (i.e. there are low-pressure and high-pressure two air cavities in one buffer) is generally used at present, and a spring control throttle valve is added in the buffer strut piston of the double-cavity buffer, so that the valve will be opened under a given load, thereby improving the buffering performance of the buffer strut.

[0003] The frame type landing gear stable buffer is arranged between the frame and the buffer strut, and is a necessary functional component of the modern landing gear. The stable buffer can make the frame attitude controllable and absorb the impact energy of the wheel group around the shaft during the take-off, landing and ground sliding of the aircraft. However, the existing frame type landing gear stable buffer is generally of spring structure type or oil-gas hybrid type. The spring structure type stable buffer can only buffer in one direction, and the damping effect will decay, resulting in short fatigue life. The oil-gas hybrid type stable buffer is prone to cavitation phenomenon, resulting in bubbles and unstable damping performance.

Example 3

[0038] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 2. To ensure that the stabilizing buffer has the same tensile or compressive stroke under the same tensile / compressive load, a hydroponic isolation stabilizing buffer for landing gear as described in this embodiment is used. It only requires that the cross-sectional area of ​​the piston rod 2 be equal to half the cross-sectional area of ​​the outer circle of the piston end, i.e., the cross-sectional area of ​​the piston rod 2 is equal to half the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner cavity of the floating cylinder 4. In the specific design and manufacturing process, if there are no specific requirements for the tensile or compressive stroke, a structure that meets the usage requirements can be designed according to the different landing gear requirements. Example 4

[0039] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a method for using the above-mentioned oil-gas isolated stabilizing buffer for landing gear, the method comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1. Before use, inert gas is injected into the first gas chamber 10, and hydraulic oil is injected into the compression stroke hydraulic chamber 11 and the extension stroke hydraulic chamber 12. The inert gas is nitrogen, and the hydraulic oil is No. 15 aviation hydraulic oil. The amount of nitrogen and No. 15 aviation hydraulic oil injected is required to keep the buffer in a neutral position when there is no external load. The neutral position means that the landing gear ensures that the frame attitude is controllable after the aircraft leaves the ground and before landing.

[0041] S2. When the buffer is in the neutral position, its structure is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, when the buffer is not subjected to external load or the load is less than or equal to a set value, the buffer maintains a neutral position;

[0042] S3. When the buffer is in the compression stroke state, its structure is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when the buffer is subjected to pressure Pa, it begins to compress using the lateral load. The piston rod 2 pushes the moving cylinder 4 to compress the first air chamber 10, reducing its volume and increasing its pressure. Simultaneously, during the movement of the moving cylinder 4, the volume of the stretching stroke hydraulic chamber 12 increases, causing the movable float 6 to push the oil in the compression stroke hydraulic chamber 11 through the damping valve 74 in the oil guide channel 7 and through the conduit 71 to flow into the stretching stroke hydraulic chamber 12, thus realizing the compression process, forming a buffer, and absorbing the energy generated by the lateral load. When the lateral load disappears, the inert gas compressed in the first air chamber 10 expands, and the moving cylinder 4 pushes the hydraulic oil in the stretching stroke hydraulic chamber 12 through the damping valve 74 in the oil guide channel 7 into the compression stroke hydraulic chamber 11, ultimately restoring the buffer to the neutral position.

[0043] S4. When the buffer is in the extended stroke state, its structure is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, when the buffer is subjected to a tensile force Pb, it begins to work by utilizing the tensile load. The piston rod 2 pushes the oil in the hydraulic cavity 12 of the tensile stroke through the damping valve 74 in the oil guide channel 7 and through the conduit 71 to flow into the hydraulic cavity 11 of the compression stroke. This increases the volume of the oil in the hydraulic cavity 11 of the compression stroke, pushing the movable float 6 to move and compressing the inert gas in the first air cavity 10, thus realizing the tensile motion process, forming a buffer, and absorbing the energy generated by the tensile load. When the tensile load disappears, the compressed inert gas in the first air cavity 10 will expand, causing the movable float 6 to push the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic cavity 11 of the compression stroke through the damping valve 74 in the oil guide channel 7 into the hydraulic cavity 12 of the tensile stroke, ultimately restoring the stable buffer to the neutral position.

[0044] The present invention discloses an oil-gas isolated stabilizing buffer for landing gear, which adopts an oil-gas isolated structure with adjustable damping and a dual-actuation mechanism, providing bidirectional buffering functions of tension and compression. The buffer comprises a four-chamber structure consisting of an eyelet bolt 1, a piston rod 2, an outer cylinder 3, a floating cylinder 4, a stop cover 5, a movable float 6, and an oil guide channel 7, as well as front end caps 8 and rear end caps 9 located at both ends of the outer cylinder 3. This structure forms a gas chamber, a central gas chamber, and two interconnected hydraulic oil chambers. This allows the stabilizing buffer to absorb energy under tensile or compressive loads, while remaining in a neutral and fixed position when no external load is applied. This neutral position ensures that the aircraft's frame attitude remains uniquely controllable after takeoff and before landing. The oil-gas isolation system eliminates cavitation and provides stable damping performance. Furthermore, the interconnecting oil guide channel 7 between the two hydraulic oil chambers is designed outside the outer cylinder 3 and connected to the damping valve 74 via the 71 conduit. During the compression / tension stroke, the hydraulic oil flows through the damping valve 74, thus the damping of the buffer can be adjusted by regulating the external damping valve 74.

[0045] In summary, the stable buffer described in this utility model adopts an oil-gas isolation structure and, through a dual-actuation method, not only has adjustable damping but also bidirectional buffering functions of tension and compression. Its overall structure is simple and reasonably designed, effectively avoiding the influence of oil-gas mixing on buffering performance, making the buffer work stably. It has broad guiding significance for buffer structure design and is suitable for widespread application.

[0046] Other aspects of this utility model that are not detailed herein are all conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made using the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
