Abstract
Description
[0001] A MOVEMENT MECHANISM
[0002] This invention relates to mechanisms for the opening and closing of pylons on aircraft.
[0003] Canopies and pylons in helicopters can be composed of continuous surfaces with a plane separating the two surfaces. In order to perform pre-flight inspections, the pylon area must be able to be opened and closed in a practical way without the need for any tools. Opening the strake upwards causes the strake to hit the helicopter blade and the strake to open relatively little due to the lack of sufficient distance, while opening the strake downwards causes the strake to hit the pilot doors or equipment on the helicopter, limiting the scenario of climbing the strake over the helicopter. For this reason, there is a need for a mechanism that allows the technician or pilot to easily access the strut for pre-flight checks, has a wide range of motion, and allows the strut to be opened and closed without damaging the helicopter.
[0004] In the Polish patent document EP3059157B1 numbered EP3059157B1 , which is included in the state of the art, it is mentioned about the mobilization systems that enable the opening and closing of the pylon area on the helicopter upper body in order to perform pre-flight or postflight controls in helicopters. In the document, a rod attached to the pylon is moved by the user and the sliding part on the pylon is moved on the rail on the helicopter body by means of the task bar, allowing the pylon to be moved by sliding on the helicopter body. The pylon movement in the document is realized on a linear rail. The part in the document moves in a perpendicular axis with the pylon. In addition, the fixed part in the document allows one end of the strut to be fixed, allowing the rod to move the strut.
[0005] In the Spanish patent document numbered W02010112645A1 , which is included in the known state of the art, it is mentioned about the mobilization mechanisms that provide access to the aircraft by opening the outer hatch of the tail bone, which is located in the tail section of the aircraft and contains an auxiliary power unit. In the document, it is mentioned that the outer surface of the tail beam is opened by sliding movement and the said sliding movement is made by means of rails and wheels. In the document, a circular rail is used in conformity with the outer surface of the tail beam, and with the help of a lever, the wheel moves on the rail in conformity with the outer surface. In addition, the stopper contacts the rail to open the hatch up to a certain limit. Thanks to a movement mechanism developed with this invention, the pylon area can be opened practically in two halves.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to enable the opening of the pylon without impact and interference between the pylon and the canopy.
[0007] A further object of the present invention is to enable the opening of the pylon without restriction of access to the pylon area and to provide a wide range of movement.
[0008] The movement mechanism defined in the first claim and the claims dependent on this claim, which is realized to achieve the object of the invention, comprises a body which is located on the aircraft and which is a canopy. There is at least one hatch which is opposite to the body and allows access to the interior of the aircraft. A closed position (I) wherein the canopy is located opposite the body and the canopy is in contact with the body, preventing access into the aircraft and creating an aerodynamic surface on the body. The canopy is moved on the body to the open position (II), allowing access to the aircraft interior. The body is provided with at least one guide rail, at least partially in contact with the body surface, which allows the canopy to be moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II). A guide wheel is provided in the guiding rail. The guide rail rotates around its axis and is moved on the guide rail, allowing the hatch to be moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II). The guide wheel is connected to the bracket. At least one end of the bracket is connected to the guide wheel and at least one other end extends towards the hatch, allowing connection between the guide wheel and the steering rail.
[0009] The movement mechanism of the invention comprises a guide railwhich is almost in the form of an "S" and is recessed and protruding. There is a slot on the hatch which is hollow and which is formed by emptying. While the hatch is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), there is a shaft that moves the bracket by rotating around its axis at the positions of the guide rail predetermined by the manufacturer. One end of the shaft is located in the housing while the other end is connected to the bracket and moves the bracket. The bracket is connected to the guide wheel. The hatch is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), while the shaft allows the guide wheel to make a free rotational movement according to the position of the guide wheel on the steering rail.
[0010] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a guide rail which extends non-linearly into the housing at a position predetermined by the manufacturer following the surface of the housing. At least one connection part is provided on the hatch. The connection part extends through the hatch towards the guide rail, and a guide wheel is positioned thereon by means of a bracket. When the hatch is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), the connecting piece moves on the guide rail and allows the hatch to be moved.
[0011] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a plurality of fittings extending from the hatch towards the guide rail. Each connecting piece extends from the hatch towards the surface of the guide rail to which they are opposed and has different lengths, wall thicknesses and positions depending on the geometry of the guide rail. The different lengths of the fittings allow the hatch to move eccentrically in the concave and convex regions of the guide rail when the hatch is moved from the closed position (I) to the open position (II) and prevent the hatch from interfering with the body.
[0012] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a slot formed by discharging in the connection part and recessed in the connection part. The shaft is at least partially disposed in the housing and is rotatably disposed in the housing about its axis. When the hatch is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), the shaft rotates around its axis in the housing. The shaft rotates the bracket, causing the guide wheel to rotate and allowing the hatch to be moved towards the housing, which is connected to the housing.
[0013] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a bracket connected to a guide wheel and a shaft. The bracket is located between the guide wheel and the shaft. The bracket is rotated about its axis by the spindle when the hatch is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), and allows the guide wheel to rotate the guide rail in positions predetermined by the manufacturer.
[0014] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a hollow space on the hatch. The gap is formed by the manufacturer by pre-drilling the hatch. A guide rail passes through the gap and the guide rail is guided from the air-contacting surface of the housing to the non-air-contacting surface of the housing. The gap has a volume larger than the crosssections of the guide rail predetermined by the manufacturer and allows the guide rail not to contact the hatch.
[0015] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises at least one profile fixed on the body and extending from the body into the body. The profile is located between two hatchs and allows to create an aerodynamic surface when the hatch is in the closed position (I). At least one support extends from the hatch into the body and is positioned opposite the profile. There is at least one supporting rail in the support. The support is partly in the form of an "L" and a guide rail is positioned on the part of the support extending along the aircraft flight direction. The guide rail allows for a stable non-linear movement of the hatch between the closed position (I) and the open position (II).
[0016] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises an actuator extending along the profile towards the supporting rail. The actuator supports the hatch by telescopically opening as the hatch is moved from the closed position (I) to the open position (II) and allows the hatch to make a non-linear movement relative to the body as the hatch is moved on the eccentrically shaped guide rail.
[0017] In one embodiment of the invention, the actuating mechanism comprises at least one shaft extending into the supporting rail substantially perpendicular to the telescoping end of the actuator. Connected to the shaft is at least one supporting wheel. The supporting wheel is pivotable within the supporting rail and allows the hatch to open and close evenly and without interference with the body when the hatch is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II).
[0018] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a double twisted and preferably almost completely "S" shaped guide rail. The geometrical form of the guide rail allows the hatch to slide on the body without interference with the body. There is a supporting rail with a linear structure. While the hatch makes a non-linear movement on the guide rail, the supporting rail and the actuator provide smooth movement of the hatch in the axes predetermined by the manufacturer.
[0019] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises an opening hollowly located in the hatch. The opening has a volume predetermined by the manufacturer and the form is compatible with the surfaces of the profile predetermined by the manufacturer. The profile is inserted into the opening when the hatch is in the closed position (I) and is positioned to contact the hatch.
[0020] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a profile, preferably substantially in the form of a "T". A surface is provided on the profile. The surface forms a perpendicular wall surface (web) of the profile. When the hatch is in the closed position (I), the vertical wall surface of the profile closes the opening with a minimum gap between it and the hatch, thereby creating an aerodynamic surface on the aircraft. In one embodiment of the invention, the actuating mechanism comprises a body having an aircraft canopy. When the canopy is moved on the guide rail, the canopy performs both sliding movement and rotational movement, so that the canopy can be moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II) without interference between the canopy and the body.
[0021] In one embodiment of the invention, the actuating mechanism comprises at least one recess in the hatch as a gap. By means of the recess, the user moves the hatch between a closed position (I) and an open position (II). In this way, the hatch can be moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II).
[0022] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism comprises a guiding rail, the two ends of which are offset relative to each other in the axis of the direction of flight of the aircraft and are spaced at different distances from the ground. One end of the guide rail is located on the outer surface of the body, while the other end is located inside the v.

[0056] There is a body (2) on the aircraft and a hatch (3) on the aircraft, which is opposite to the body (2). There is a closed position (I) in which the hatch (3) contacts the body (2) and an open position (II) in which the hatch (3) is moved on the body (2) and access to the aircraft is allowed. A guide rail (4) is located on the body (2) and allows the hatch (3) to be moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II). At least one guide wheel (5) is positioned in the guide rail(4) and rotates around its axis in the guide rail(4), allowing the hatch (3) to be moved. The guide wheel (5) is connected to the bracket (6) and the bracket (6) transmits the movement between the steering rail (4) and the guide wheel (5).
[0057] The guide rail (4) has a recessed and protruding structure with a geometry predetermined by the manufacturer. There is a housing (7) on the hatch (3) as a gap. The spindle (8) is positioned in the housing (7). The spindle (8) moves the bracket (6) by rotating around its axis in the housing (7) while the hatch (3) is moved from closed position (I) to open position (II) and / or from open position (II) to closed position (I), and the guide wheel (5) makes an arc movement in the non-linear steering rail (4), allowing the hatch (3) to be moved without interference between the hatch (3) and the body (2).
[0058] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises a guide rail(4) extending from the surface of the housing (2) into the housing (2) and fixed on the housing (2), and at least one connection part (9) for moving the hatch (3) by means of moving a guide wheel (5) positioned on the hatch (3) and extending from the hatch (3) towards the guide rail(4) on the guide rail(4). In this way, it is ensured that the hatch (3) is moved by sliding movement on the body (2) and the aircraft is accessed by the user. (Figure - 2)
[0059] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises fittings (9) extending through the hatch (3), arranged one after the other on the hatch (3) at a distance predetermined by the manufacturer and having lengths predetermined by the manufacturer so as to allow the hatch (3) to be moved by means of a guide wheel (5) positioned on the guide rail(4), and guided by the guide rail(4) so as to allow the hatch (3) to be moved without interference with the body (2). The hatch (3) is geometrically compatible with the body (2). This allows the hatch (3) to be moved relative to the body (2) at angles predetermined by the manufacturer (Figure - 3). In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises a housing (7) recessed in the connecting piece (9), in which the spindle (8) can be inserted, The hatch (3) includes a connection part (9) which allows the hatch (3) to make a non-linear movement on the guide rail (4) by rotating the spindle (8) around its axis in the housing (7) when the hatch (3) is moved from the closed position (I) to the open position (II) and / or from the open position (II) to the closed position (I), thereby allowing the hatch (3) to be moved in such a way as to create an elevation difference on the body (2). In this way, while the hatch (3) is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), it is ensured that the hatch (3) is moved in a balanced manner. (Figure - 4)
[0060] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises a bracket (6) connected to the guide wheel (5) and the spindle (8), which makes a rotational movement around the spindle (8) so that the spindle (8) becomes the center of rotation by rotation of the spindle (8) around its own axis while the hatch (3) is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), thereby enabling the guide wheel (5) to be moved in a form compatible with the geometric form of the steering rail (4). In this way, while the hatch (3) is moved on the guide rail (4), it is ensured that the hatch (3) is moved in a balanced manner without stress accumulation on the hatch (3).
[0061] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises at least one gap (10) hollow on the hatch (3), which allows the hatch (3) to be moved from the closed position (I) to the open position (II) and / or from the open position (II) to the closed position (I) without hitting the guide rail (4) and allows the guide rail (4) to extend from the lateral outer surface of the body (2) into the body (2) in conformity with the body (2). In this way, the drag force of the guide rail (4) on the aircraft is reduced and the hatch (3) can be moved at angles predetermined by the manufacturer. (Figure - 5, Figure - 6)
[0062] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises at least one profile (11) fixedly arranged on the body (2), extending through the body (2) in a cross-section predetermined by the manufacturer so as to lie between two consecutive hatchs (3) and at least partially perpendicular to the hatch (3), and at least one support (12) extending through the hatch (3) into the body (2) and opposite the profile (11), The support (12) comprises at least one supporting rail (13) located in a part of the support (12) that is at least partially parallel to the hatch (3), which allows the hatch (3) to perform an effective sliding movement on the guide rail (4) so as to maintain the movement of the hatch (3) on the guide rail (4) while the hatch (3) is moved from the closed position (I) to the open position (II) and / or from the open position (II) to the closed position (I). In this way, an aerodynamic surface is created on the aircraft when the hatch (3) is in the closed position (I) and access to the aircraft is provided by the user when the hatch (3) is in the open position (II). (Figure - 7, Figure - 8, Figure - 9)
[0063] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises at least one actuator (14) located on the profile (11) and extending from the profile (11) towards the supporting rail (13), which telescopically opens and closes when the hatch (3) is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), allowing the hatch (3) to make an effective non-linear movement on the body (2) on the guide rail (4) in accordance with the geometry of the guide rail (4). In this way, the hatch (3) is almost perfectly balanced, allowing one end of the hatch (3) to be supported while the hatch (3) is offset outwards relative to the body (2). (Figure - 9)
[0064] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises at least one shaft (15) extending from the actuator (14) towards the supporting rail (13) at least partially perpendicular to the actuator (14), rotatably connected to the shaft (15) and extending from the shaft (15) into the supporting rail (13), The hatch (3) comprises at least one supporting wheel (16) for supporting the movement of the hatch (3) on the guide rail (4) by freely rotating about its axis in the supporting rail (13) when the hatch (3) is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II). In this way, the movement of the hatch (3) in the direction of the aircraft flight is supported and balanced. (Figure - 9)
[0065] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises a guide rail(4) having a double twisted non-linear structure, which allows the hatch (3) to be moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), and a supporting rail (13) having a linear structure, which supports the hatch (3) while the hatch (3) is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II) by means of the guide rail (4), thereby allowing the hatch (3) to move eccentrically on the body (2). In this way, it is ensured that the hatch (3) makes effective sliding movements at angles predetermined by the manufacturer.
[0066] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises at least one opening (17) in the form of a gap on the hatch (3), into which the profile (11) is inserted when the hatch (3) is in the closed position (I), allowing the profile (11) to contact the hatch (3) and to form an aerodynamic surface on the body (2) in the closed position (I). In this way, an aerodynamic surface is formed on the aircraft (I) when the hatch (3) is in the closed position.
[0067] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises at least one surface (18) on the profile (11), which is a perpendicular wall surface of the profile (11), which is brought closer to the hatch (3) so as to close the opening (17) when the hatch (3) is in the closed position (I), and which is form-compatible with the opening (17), and which enables an aerodynamic surface to be formed on the body (2) when the hatch (3) is in the closed position
[0068] (I). In this way, when the hatch (3) is in the closed position (I), the hatch (3) contacts the profile
[0069] (I I) almost completely and a continuous surface is formed.
[0070] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises a body (2) which is a canopy and a guide rail (4) which allows the hatch (3) to move from a closed position (I) to an open position (II) and / or from an open position (II) to a closed position (I) by simultaneously sliding and rotational movement on the body (2). In this way, effective sliding movement of the hatch (3) on the body (2) is ensured.
[0071] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises at least one recess (19) which is hollow on the hatch (3) and which allows the hatch (3) to be moved by the application of force by the user. In this way, the hatch (3) can be easily moved by the user between the closed position (I) and the open position (II).
[0072] In one embodiment of the invention, the movement mechanism (1) comprises a guide rail(4), the longitudinal portion of one end of which is different in elevation with respect to the longitudinal portion of the other end thereof, thereby enabling the hatch (3) to make a nonlinear movement on the body (2) at an angle predetermined by the manufacturer.

A movement mechanism (1) according to claim 7 to claim 9, characterised by the guide rail (4) having a double-twisted non-linear structure, which allows the hatch (3) to be moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II), the supporting rail (13) having a linear structure, which supports the hatch (3) and allows the hatch (3) to move eccentrically on the body (2) by supporting the hatch (3) while the hatch (3) is moved between the closed position (I) and the open position (II) by means of the guiding rail (4).
11. A movement mechanism (1) according to claim 7 to claim 10, characterised by at least one opening (17) in the form of a cavity on the hatch (3), in which the profile (11) is placed when the hatch (3) is in the closed position (I), allowing the profile (11) to contact the hatch (3) and create an aerodynamic surface on the body (2) in the closed position (I).
12. A movement mechanism (1) according to claim 11 , characterised by at least one surface (18) located on the profile (11), which is brought closer to the hatch (3) so as to close the opening (17) when the hatch (3) is in the closed position (I) and which is form-compatible with the opening (17), which is a perpendicular wall surface of the profile (11) and which ensures the formation of an aerodynamic surface on the body (2) when the hatch (3) is in the closed position (I).
13. A movement mechanism (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised by the body (2) which is a canopy, the guide rail (4) allows the hatch (3) to move from the closed position (I) to the open position (II) and / or from the open position (II) to the closed position (I) by simultaneously sliding and rotational movement on the body (2).
14. A movement mechanism (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised by at least one recess (19) which is a recess on the hatch (3) and which allows the hatch (3) to be moved by the user by applying force.
15. A movement mechanism (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised by the guide rail (4) that creates a height difference between the part extending along one end and the part extending along the other end, thereby enabling the hatch (3) to move non-linearly at an angle predetermined by the manufacturer on the body (2).
