Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft inflation and pressure testing technology, specifically an aircraft inflation and pressure testing device. Background Technology

[0002] During the routine maintenance and operational preparation of an aircraft, many components rely on appropriate air pressure to ensure performance and safety. For example, the air pressure of aircraft tires needs to be precisely maintained within the specified range. If the air pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground will decrease, reducing grip and making it difficult to control during takeoff and landing. It may even lead to tire blowout, endangering flight safety. If the air pressure is too low, it will increase tire wear, reduce service life, and increase the aircraft's taxiing drag, affecting takeoff and landing efficiency. Similarly, for the accumulators in the aircraft's hydraulic system, appropriate air pressure can ensure a stable supply of hydraulic oil and maintain stable hydraulic system pressure. If the air pressure is abnormal, it will cause the hydraulic system to work unstably, affecting the normal extension and retraction of critical components such as aircraft flaps and landing gear.

[0003] Traditional aircraft inflation methods often employ manual air pumps or simple inflation devices. Manual air pumps are extremely inefficient and difficult to precisely control the inflation volume, easily leading to excessively high or low pressure. While simple inflation devices improve efficiency to some extent, they still have significant shortcomings in pressure control accuracy. In terms of air pressure detection, in the past, manual measurement using simple barometers was relied upon. This method is not only inefficient, but the measurement results are also easily affected by human factors, such as reading errors and inaccurate measurement positions, which cannot meet the high-precision air pressure detection requirements of modern aircraft.

[0004] With the rapid development of aviation technology, the performance and safety requirements of aircraft are constantly increasing. The complexity of modern aircraft has increased significantly, which has put forward higher standards for the air pressure control accuracy of various components. For example, aircraft components made of new composite materials are more sensitive to changes in air pressure. Even a small air pressure deviation may affect their structural integrity and performance. In addition, the aviation industry has also put forward new requirements for the maintenance efficiency of aircraft. Traditional air pressure testing methods are no longer able to meet the needs of large-scale and high-efficiency aviation operations due to their low efficiency and poor accuracy.

[0005] Traditional inflation pressure testing methods mainly rely on manual measurement using simple air gauges. Due to the uncertainties of manual operation, such as the angle of the line of sight and estimation when taking the reading, large errors can occur. During the inflation process, the operator's experience is also relied upon to determine whether to stop inflation, making it difficult to guarantee that the required pressure can be achieved every time. Manual air pumps are slow to inflate, and for components that require more air, such as large aircraft tires, the inflation time can be very long. Moreover, only one component can be operated at a time, and the testing process requires manual reading and judgment for each component, making it impossible to operate multiple components simultaneously. Therefore, we have proposed an aircraft inflation pressure testing device. Utility Model Content
