The invention belongs to the technical field of
fin stabilizer systems, and particularly relates to a passive
locking mechanism for a
fin stabilizer system and a control method thereof.The passive
locking mechanism comprises a locking pin, an oil cylinder body, a spring, an oil cylinder
piston rod and a
locking mechanism shell, the shell is installed on an executing mechanism, coaxial installation holes are formed in the two ends of the shell, the cylinder body is arranged in the axial direction of the installation holes, and one end of the cylinder body is sleeved with the spring; the
piston rod is fixed in the shell, one end of the
piston rod is a piston head and located in the cylinder body, the other end of the
piston rod is installed in the installation hole, a sealing structure is arranged between the
piston rod and the cylinder body, an oil cavity is formed between the
piston rod and the cylinder body, the piston rod is provided with an oil channel, one end of the piston rod is connected with a hydraulic
system, and the other end of the piston rod is communicated with the oil cavity. When hydraulic oil is input, the cylinder body is pushed to overcome
spring force to pull the locking pin out of the fin
handle slot, and when pressure is released, the spring resets to push the locking pin to be inserted into the slot. Automatic unlocking and passive self-locking are achieved, and the problems that manual bolt inserting efficiency is low, potential safety hazards are large, and a contact part is prone to abrasion are solved.
