L'invention concerne un amortisseur de jambe de train d'atterrissage du type comportant un caisson et une tige coulissante, avec un fond délimitant une chambre inférieure de fluide hydraulique qui communique par un diaphragme avec une chambre supérieure de fluide hydraulique adjacente à une chambre de gaz sous pression ménagée en partie haute du caisson. Conformément à l'invention, la tige coulissante 102 réalisée sous forme télescopique, avec une tige extérieure 131 et une tige intérieure 132 qui est en appui direct contre une cloison intermédiaire 112 qui constitue le fond précité, lorsque l'amortisseur est détendu ou sous charge statique ; l'amortisseur comporte en outre un actionneur linéaire 150.1 logé dans la tige intérieure 132, et dont l'enclenchement permet d'obtenir un rehaussement du train d'atterrissage lorsque l'aéronef est à l'arrêt ou en déplacement lent au sol. Un double compas 124, 127 est en outre prévu pour la reprise des efforts de torsion structuraux.
摘要:
A hydraulic shock absorber (1) suitable for use with an aircraft landing gear which includes: - a first casing member (2) telescopically and sealingly engaged with a second casing member (3), said second casing member having a first section (16) of reduced diameter in comparison to a second section (17); and - an oil reservoir (4) defined by the first (2) and second (3) casing members, which is divided into two distinct volumes (4a, 4c) by a one way restrictor means (5) attached to the second casing member (3); Further, the volume of the oil reservoir (4) defined by the first casing member (2) and the first section of the second casing member (16) is further divided into two sections (4a, 4b) by a two way restrictor means (7). In operation the one way restrictor means (5) acts to restrict the flow of oil from the volume of the oil reservoir (4c) defined by the first casing member (2) and the second section (17) of the second casing member (3) to the volume (4b) of the reservoir (4), defined by the first casing member (2) and the first section (16) of the second casing member (3).

摘要:
A telescoping landing gear shock strut set (3, 4, 5) which can provide both the main landing gear and auxiliary landing gear function, and which is affixed to and extendable from an aircraft, is restrained in an unenergized, compressed condition. A high pressure gas charge is then provided between the extendible element (12) of the strut and the element affixed (11) to the aircraft. Early in the takeoff run, the charge gas in the forward strut is released so as to jump the nose and rotate the aircraft to a high: angle of attact appropriate for takeoff. Subsequent to this rotation, but before the conventional takeoff speed is reached, the charge gas in the main strut is released to impart a vertical velocity to the entire aircraft (1), thus jumping into the air. Both the forward strut and main struts incorporate a hydraulic flow bypass function, so that the landing shock absorption function does not compromise the aforesaid energy release, the struts also incorporate values to discharge enough residual gas immediately at the end of the jump stroke so-than the landing energy absorption mode is not compromised. Following the main gear jump, the continuing horizontal acceleration provided by the propulsion engines (10), and continuously weakening vertical acceleration comprising gravity diminished by the wing aerodynamic lift, which is increasing with speed results in an initially upward aircraft trajectory which does not return to earth. A takeoff run with the aforesaid jump action is considerably shorter that the takeoff run without the jump function. Although the jump takeoff speed is less than the conventional takeoff speed, and there would be a lift shortage in a straight flight path, the centrifugal acceleration produced by the bending downward of trajectory, which is initially inclined upward, compensates for this temporary lift shortage.
摘要:
Shock absorbing struts (10) for use on aircraft landing gear which include a pair offluid containing chambers (14,16) defined by a pair of telescoping cylinders. Fluid flows from one of the chambers to anotherthrough a metering orifice (24) proportional to the differential in pressure generated by impact loads created upon landing or taxiing of the aircraft. Upon the differential pressure exceeding a predetermined threshold level an additional flow path (22, 26) positioned in parallel to the metering orifice (24) is opened by an amount proportional to the amount of differential pressure in excess of the threshold to thereby maintain a substantially constant load on the landing gear irrespective of impact loads imparted thereto.
摘要:
The undercarriage includes a pair of pivotally interconnected undercarriage legs 32, 33, the latter of which carries a ground wheel 15. A strut 14 extends between lugs 31, 34 on the legs. The strut may either be frangible or fluid operable and normally inhibits relative pivotal movement of the legs. However, if a load in excess of a desired load is applied to the undercarriage, the strut will operate to permit such relative movement. At the limit of such relative movement the lowest point L of the wheel 15 will be below the lowest point P of the undercarriage.
