1 TARIFF 5 Lifting System for Aircraft Landing Gear TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to maintenance and repair activities carried out in the civil aviation sector. within this scope, particularly different types of narrow-body aircraft models such as the B737 and A320. Safe and efficient disassembly, assembly and disassembly of landing gear of type 10 aircraft. It is related to a system for transportation. STATE OF THE ART In the current system, aircraft landing gear is generally damaged during maintenance and repair processes. They are lowered onto rubber materials laid on the ground, supported, and transported. 15 Maintaining the structural integrity and ensuring the safety of landing gear, especially those carrying heavy loads. This traditional method is crucial in terms of providing safe support throughout the processes. It is widely preferred. However, this traditional method used in the current process presents certain operational challenges. and brings with it safety risks. First of all, the tire used is 20 Materials lose their durability over time due to wear and deformation. They can be lost, which may require additional interventions in maintenance processes. Worn or deformed support materials can compromise the stability of the landing gear. This can negatively impact and pose a risk to operational safety. In addition, there are existing support platforms in the technology - 25 for each aircraft type. because of their design - they occupy large areas inside the hangar, equipment This leads to significant limitations in terms of management. In maintenance and repair processes. organized storage and easy access of the various equipment used. It is of great importance that the tire support platforms are located inside the hangar. its large area of ​​occupation, the placement and mobility of other maintenance equipment 30 This leads to limitations in terms of job opportunities, which in turn narrows the scope of work. and leads to a decrease in operational efficiency. Workflow within the hangar 2 to be effectively maintained and for working areas to be at an optimal level 5 Such physical limitations make their use a serious operational challenge. It is able to create. In this context, considering the shortcomings of the current method, aircraft landing more efficient, safer and space-saving in the maintenance and repair processes of the teams Developing alternative solutions that provide these is becoming an important necessity. 10 The document US5460474, in the known state of the art, relates to aircraft landing gear carts. Aircraft landing gear cars support the landing gear and adjust the position of its bearings. It is used for adjustment. This car has a rolling chassis and is placed inside it. It includes frames. This structure provides degrees of freedom to the landing gear. Freedom degrees of movement along horizontal, longitudinal and transverse axes, lifting, lowering 15 It includes the motion of the wind and the rotational motion around the horizontal axis. The axes of rotation are, Their beds intersect at a point located in the center of each other. Consequently, due to the inadequacy of existing solutions on the subject, the relevant technical... An improvement in this area has become necessary. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The primary purpose of the invention is to enable the easy removal, installation, and transport of aircraft landing gear. placed on a chassis intended for this purpose, it can be safely moved to other areas or storage facilities. The goal is to create a transportation system that enables it to be transported in some way. In this way, 25. Fast and orderly handling of landing gear during maintenance and repair processes. This makes it possible to increase operational efficiency. This method involves the aircraft landing gear. by preventing direct contact with the ground, thus preventing potential physical damage and It also aims to minimize wear and tear. Thanks to this application, landing The weight of the teams is prevented from being directly transmitted to the ground, thus both the ground This prevents surface deformation and also ensures the landing gear lasts 30 years. Potential damage from impacts or vibrations is minimized. At the same time, it ensures mechanical stability and safety during maintenance and repair processes. This method is also commonly used to support the work environment. It appears as follows. 3 Another aim of the invention is to increase the weight-carrying capacity on the transport chassis. by enabling the landing gear to be deployed safely and efficiently in different areas. The goal is to create a transportation system that makes it possible to transport goods. This feature is particularly important. It facilitates the safe transportation and storage of heavy aircraft components. Another purpose of the invention is to support uprights, wooden crates, and straps during transport. The goal is to create a transportation system that enables the use of supporting elements such as these. 10 The struts prevent the landing gear from moving during transport, ensuring stability. When presenting the structure, the straps are used to prevent the landing gear from slipping or tipping over. It fastens securely. Wooden crates are placed on the transport chassis, securing both the landing gear. It provides additional support and also allows for the efficient use of the space by placing additional loads on it. This allows for space saving during transport and 15 This makes it possible to ship the materials in an organized manner. Another aim of the invention is to make landing gear more flexible and steerable. The goal is to develop a transportation system that provides this. The transportation system used is a rolling conveyor. It consists of a chassis and frames placed inside it. This structure attaches to the landing gear in various ways. By offering degrees of freedom, it is possible for the wheels to move in different directions. Thus, the landing gear only moves horizontally, longitudinally, and transversely. It can not only stand still, but also perform lifting, lowering and rotating movements. Another purpose of the invention is to enable different types of aircraft engines to be landed on a single platform. The goal is to establish a transportation system.
