[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] See Figure 1-5The aircraft wheel brake replacement hydraulic lifting trolley includes a U-shaped body 6. A bent support plate 4 is fixed to the middle of the top of the U-shaped body 6. Columns 7 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the U-shaped body 6. A wheel support frame is slidably mounted on the column 7 via a pulley mechanism. A wheel drum 20 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the wheel support frame via a horizontal shaft 21. A lifting power device is installed between the wheel support frame and the bent support plate 4. This trolley can be used to lift the aircraft wheel during the removal of the aircraft wheel brake, and can also provide rotational support to ensure the wheel can rotate. Its mobile structure allows for easy movement of the entire device to the wheel's location, enhancing its flexibility. In practical use, the trolley is moved to the wheel's location, the wheel is supported on top of the wheel drum 20, and the lifting power device controls the lifting of the wheel support frame and the wheel drum 20, thereby lifting the wheel and ensuring smooth rotation during brake removal.
[0035] Furthermore, head wheel mounting plates 27 are fixed to both ends of the head of the U-shaped vehicle body 6, and head wheels 28 are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the head wheel mounting plates 27. A cylinder 5 is fixed to the top of the tail of the bent support plate 4, and a vertical shaft 8 is rotatably mounted inside the cylinder 5. A tail wheel frame 2 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the vertical shaft 8, which is located at the bottom of the bent support plate 4, and a tail wheel 1 is mounted at the bottom of the tail wheel frame 2. The head wheels 28 and the tail wheel 1 ensure the movement of the vehicle.
[0036] Furthermore, the head wheel 28 is fixedly connected to the head wheel mounting plate 27 by a plurality of set bolts 30; the set bolts 30 ensure the reliable fixation of the head wheel 28.
[0037] Furthermore, a first inclined reinforcing plate 26 is provided between the bending support plate 4 and the outer wall of the U-shaped vehicle body 6. The first inclined reinforcing plate 26 enhances the reliability of the fixed installation of the bending support plate 4.
[0038] Furthermore, a rotating handle 9 is fixed to the top of the vertical shaft 8. The rotating handle 9 ensures that the vertical shaft 8 can be rotated, thereby facilitating subsequent control of the trolley's movement direction.
[0039] Furthermore, a thrust ball bearing 3 is provided between the tail wheel frame 2 and the bending support plate 4. The thrust ball bearing 3 ensures that the vertical shaft 8 can smoothly drive the tail wheel frame 2 to rotate, and ensures that it can withstand a large axial force while rotating.
[0040] Furthermore, a top crossbeam 16 is fixed between the top ends of the columns 7. The top crossbeam 16 connects the columns 7 into a whole structure, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the columns 7.
[0041] Furthermore, the wheel support frame includes paired wheel frame columns 15, with an upper connecting beam 17 fixed between the upper parts of the wheel frame columns 15, and a lower connecting beam 29 fixed on the lower outer wall of the wheel frame columns 15. The horizontal shaft 21 is fixed to the outer wall of the lower connecting beam 29. This wheel support frame facilitates stable and reliable rotational support for the wheel. In actual operation, the wheel support frame provides overall support for the wheel and allows it to be raised and lowered to a certain height, thus supporting the wheel on the top of the wheel drum 20, ensuring that the wheel can rotate on the wheel drum 20.
[0042] Furthermore, the pulley mechanism includes an upper pulley frame 14 fixed between the upper parts of the wheel frame columns 15. An upper roller 13, for rolling engagement with the outer wall of the column 7, is mounted at the end of the upper pulley frame 14 via a wheel axle 12. Upper connecting bolts 22 are fixed between the upper pulley frames 14. A lower roller 10 is mounted at the lower part of the wheel frame columns 15 via a lower pulley frame 11. The lower roller 10 rolls and supports the outer wall of the column 7. The lower roller 10 and the upper roller 13 are arranged in a bidirectional staggered pattern. This pulley mechanism ensures that the wheel support frame can smoothly slide up and down on the column 7, thereby adjusting the support height of the wheel.
[0043] Furthermore, the lifting power device includes a manual jack 19 fixed to the top of the bent support plate 4. The top of the piston rod 18 of the manual jack 19 contacts and engages with the bottom end of the upper connecting beam 17. The manual jack 19 is connected to a manual pump 24, and a manual operating lever 25 is provided on the manual pump 24. This lifting power device provides lifting power. During operation, when the height of the wheel support frame needs to be adjusted, the manual operating lever 25 drives the manual pump 24, which in turn drives the manual jack 19, which in turn drives the wheel support frame to lift along the wheel frame column 15.
[0044] Furthermore, a second inclined reinforcing plate 23 is provided between the column 7 and the U-shaped vehicle body 6. The second inclined reinforcing plate 23 enhances the reliability of the fixed installation of the column 7.
[0045] The working process and principle of this utility model:
[0046] When it is necessary to remove the brakes from the aircraft wheels, the trolley is moved to the position to be removed, and then the wheels are supported on top of the wheel drum 20. The manual pump 24 is driven by the manual operating lever 25, which in turn drives the manual jack 19. The manual jack 19 then drives the wheel support frame along the wheel frame column 15. At this time, the wheel support frame will synchronously drive the wheel drum 20 to rise and fall, thereby lifting the wheels and ensuring their smooth rotation during the brake removal process.
