Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft landing gear testing technology, specifically to a landing gear fatigue testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Landing gear is an accessory device located at the bottom of an aircraft, used to support the aircraft during takeoff, landing, or taxiing on land (or water) and for movement on the ground (or water). The landing gear is the only component that supports the entire aircraft; therefore, it is an indispensable part of the aircraft, without which the aircraft cannot move on the ground. After takeoff, the landing gear can be retracted depending on the aircraft's performance. To accommodate the needs of takeoff, landing rolls, and ground taxiing, the lowest part of the landing gear is equipped with wheels with inflatable tires. To shorten the landing roll distance, the wheels are equipped with brakes or automatic braking systems. Other components include load-bearing struts, shock absorbers (often using the load-bearing struts as the outer casing of the shock absorbers), retraction mechanisms, nose wheel sway dampers, and steering control mechanisms.

[0003] Currently, when conducting load-bearing fatigue tests on aircraft landing gear, most methods involve dropping a heavy object of a certain weight directly onto a fixed aircraft landing gear to simulate the impact load experienced by the aircraft during landing. The fatigue performance is then analyzed based on the impact force experienced by the landing gear. However, the guidance during the drop of the heavy object mostly relies on vertical guide rods passing through the four corners of the heavy object. If the four corners cannot move synchronously during the drop, jamming may occur, which will affect the impact force during the drop and make the test less accurate. Utility Model Content
