Detailed Implementation
[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] A specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a skid landing gear counterweight structure 1 is disclosed, including a central shaft 11 and a counterweight block 12.
[0043] Multiple counterweights 12 are provided, and the multiple counterweights 12 are sleeved on the central shaft 11. For example, the middle part of the central shaft 11 is a screw part 111 with external thread, and the counterweights 12 have internal threads; the counterweights 12 can be threadedly connected to the central shaft 11 for fixation.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the end of the central shaft 11 is provided with a mounting portion 113 and a limiting portion 112. Exemplarily, the diameter of the limiting portion 112 is larger than the diameter of the screw portion 111 of the central shaft 11, and it is a circumferential flange provided on one side of the screw. The mounting portion 113 is provided on the side of the limiting portion 112 opposite to the screw portion 111. The mounting portion 113 is in the shape of a round rod, and its diameter is smaller than the screw diameter.
[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a fastener 13. The fastener 13 is a boss structure, including a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion. The large-diameter portion is used to fix it to the skid landing gear, and the small-diameter portion is used to fix the end of the central shaft 11. The small-diameter portion has a mounting hole inside, and the mounting portion 113 of the central shaft 11 can be inserted into the mounting hole to fix the central shaft 11. In one embodiment, the fastener 13 is fixed to the skid tube by welding or other means. The fastener 13 can also be a cylinder of equal diameter with a central hole for inserting the mounting portion 113.
[0046] Furthermore, it also includes a spring 14. The spring 14 is disposed between the counterweight 12 and the limiting part 112. In its natural state, the length of the spring 14 is the same as the thread length of the central shaft 11. The spring 14 is used to provide sufficient preload to the counterweight structure 1 when the counterweight 12 is too small to cover the entire screw, so as to prevent the counterweight 12 from oscillating in the skid landing gear and affecting the use of the landing gear.
[0047] Furthermore, it also includes a sleeve 15. The sleeve 15 is fitted onto the outside of the counterweight 12. The length of the sleeve 15 is the same as the length of the entire screw.
[0048] The sleeve 15 has a long groove 151 on its wall surface, and the length direction of the long groove 151 is the same as the axial direction of the sleeve 15.
[0049] The sleeve 15 is made of non-metallic material. For example, the sleeve 15 is made of nylon, PC, ABS, etc., and is used to compensate for and absorb the noise and friction caused by vibration between the counterweight 12 and the inner wall of the skid tube.
[0050] For example, a nut 16 is also provided on the side of the counterweight 12 away from the fixing member 13 for fixing the counterweight 12.
[0051] Compared with the prior art, the counterweight structure 1 of this embodiment sets multiple counterweight blocks 12 on the central axis 11, and adds or subtracts counterweight blocks 12 according to the required counterweight, which is simple and convenient.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] This embodiment discloses a skid landing gear, including a first tube 2, a second tube 3, and the skid landing gear counterweight structure 1 described in Embodiment 1.
[0054] The first pipe 2 is installed on the second pipe 3, and the first pipe 2 is connected to the second pipe 3.
[0055] For example, the first tube 2 is an arc-shaped tube.
[0056] The second tube is set in parallel with the third tube.
[0057] The counterweight structure 1 is located inside the second tube 3, and the central axis 11 of the counterweight structure 1 is coaxial with the second tube 3.
[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the second pipe 3 includes a first section 31 and a second section 32. The first section 31 is located at the center, and the second section 32 is located at both ends of the first section 31.
[0059] The first section 31 is a straight pipe, and a limiting groove 311 is provided at the near end of the first section 31 corresponding to the end position of the counterweight structure 1, for fixing the fastener 13 of the counterweight structure 1 to the first section 31. For example, the fixing method can be welding or threaded connection.
[0060] The second section 32 has an arc-shaped structure, consisting of a main section 321 and a tail section 322. The outer diameter of the main section 321 is the same as that of the first section 31. The tail section 322 is a straight tube, and its outer diameter is the same as that of the first section 31. The tail section 322 can be inserted into the first section 31.
[0061] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting bolt 4. The tail section 322 has a threaded hole 3221, and the first section 31 has a through hole 312 corresponding to the position of the threaded hole 3221; the limiting bolt 4 is disposed in the threaded hole 3221 and the through hole 312 for fixing the first section 31. Furthermore, the end of the central shaft 11 away from the fixing member 13 abuts against the limiting bolt 4.
[0062] In this embodiment, the counterweight structure 1 is disposed inside the second tube 3 and is coaxially arranged with the second tube 3. The limiting groove 311 is used to fix the stop block inside the second tube 3 and limit one end of the counterweight structure 1; the limiting bolt 4 is used to fix the second section 32 to the first section 31 on the one hand, and abuts against the end of the central shaft 11 away from the fixing member 13 on the other hand, and is used to limit the other end of the counterweight structure 1.
[0063] Furthermore, multiple counterweight structures 1 can be provided in this embodiment, and they can be set at different positions of the second tube 3 of the skid landing gear according to the mass distribution of the skid landing gear, so as to change the overall mass of the landing gear, balance the mass distribution of the landing gear, and adjust the landing gear mode.
[0064] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0065] After the skid landing gear body is completed, the counterweight structure 1 is installed.
[0066] Step 1: Fix the fastener 13 to the central shaft 11; place one end of the fastener 13 at the opening of the first section 31 of the second tube 3, and push the fastener 13 and the central shaft 11 along the length of the first section 31 to the limiting groove 311, and weld the fastener 13 to the inside of the first section 31 at the limiting groove 311.
[0067] Step 2: Push the sleeve 15 from the opening of the first section 31 to the limiting part 112. Because the sleeve 15 has a long groove 151 on its wall and the material is elastic, it can adapt to the interior of the first section 31 and will fit tightly against the inner wall of the first section 31. The length of the sleeve 15 is the same as the length of the entire screw.
[0068] Step 3: Fit the spring 14 onto the central shaft 11. According to the weight of the counterweight, fit the counterweight 12 onto the central shaft 11, and fix the counterweight 12 to the central shaft 11 with threads.
[0069] Step 4: Insert the tail section of the second section 32 into the first section 31, insert the limiting bolt 4 into the threaded hole 3221 and the through hole 312 to fix the second section 32 to the first section 31, and limit the end of the counterweight structure 1.
[0070] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment does not change the landing gear structure. According to the mass distribution of the landing gear, a counterweight structure 1 is installed at different positions inside the second tube 3 of the skid landing gear. The counterweight structure 1 is coaxially arranged with the second tube 3. By changing the overall mass of the landing gear and balancing the mass distribution, the landing gear mode is adjusted, thereby reducing or avoiding the phenomenon of resonance of the landing gear.
[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
