The application belongs to the technical field of
fin stabilizer system, and particularly relates to a passive
locking mechanism for a
fin stabilizer system and a control method thereof, which comprises a locking pin, a cylinder body, a spring, a cylinder
piston rod and a
locking mechanism shell, the shell is installed on an
actuator, coaxial mounting holes are arranged at two ends of the shell, the cylinder body is arranged axially along the mounting hole, the spring is sleeved at one end of the cylinder body, the other end of the cylinder body is connected with the locking pin, the spring is abutted against a cylinder body step and an inner end surface of the shell at two ends, the
piston rod is fixed in the shell, one end of the
piston rod is a piston head and is located in the cylinder body, the other end of the
piston rod is installed in the mounting hole, a sealing structure is arranged between the
piston rod and the cylinder body and an oil cavity is formed, the
piston rod is provided with an oil channel, one end of the oil channel is connected with a hydraulic
system, and the other end of the oil channel is in communication with the oil cavity, when hydraulic oil is input, the cylinder body is pushed to overcome the
spring force to make the locking pin be pulled out of a fin
handle insertion slot, and when pressure is released, the spring is reset to push the locking pin to be inserted into the
insertion slot. The application realizes automatic unlocking and passive self-locking, and solves the problems of low efficiency, great safety hazards and easy wear of a contact part of
manual insertion.
