摘要:
A force compliant mechanism (750) for a force control system (600) includes a housing (752). A force compliant volute spring member (754) that has an input end (790) and an output end (792) is disposed within the housing (752). A force actuator input shaft (798) operates in response to a force induced thereon. An output shaft (800) is coupled to the output end (792) and to a test object (802). A force transducer (780) is in operative coupling with the force actuator input shaft (798) and generates a force signal in response to the induced force. A method of reducing force transients and increasing stability within a force control system (660) includes applying a force on a test object (666). A force actuator (669) is decoupled from the test object (666). The overall stiffness of the force control system is reduced and dynamic energy is absorbed via a force compliant member (662) coupled to the test object (666) and the force actuator (669).

L'invention concerne une architecture de système hydraulique de manoeuvre des atterrisseurs d'un aéronef comportant au moins une source de pression et un retour hydraulique, avec un circuit hydraulique comportant une première ligne hydraulique ("DESCENTE") dont la pressurisation provoque la descente des atterrisseurs, et une deuxième ligne hydraulique ("RELEVAGE" 5) dont la pressurisation provoque le relevage des atterrisseurs, ces lignes étant sélectivement pressurisées au moyen d'un organe de distribution hydraulique (10,12) comportant au moins une vanne d'isolation (10) et un sélecteur (12) pour mettre en communication l'une des lignes avec la pression, et l'autre des lignes avec le retour. Selon l'invention, l'architecture comporte des moyens de mise au retour forcée (53) pour forcer la vanne d'isolation (10) à isoler le circuit de la pression de l'aéronef et mettre la ligne d'admission au retour.
摘要:
A novel energy hydraulic media is disclosed comprising a microgel dispersion. The microgel dispersion is a Non-Newtonian fluid. This microgel dispersion is useful in devices that utilize a hydraulic fluid, such as hydraulic energy transmission systems and mechanical energy absorbing devices. Examples include hydraulic brake systems, liquid springs, and dynamic damping devices such as aircraft landing gear shock struts, car bumpers, and automobile shock absorbers. Methods of transmitting hydraulic energy and for dissipating kinetic energy using this microgel dispersion are also disclosed.

The invention is in the field of hydraulic actuating devices for positioning aircraft landing gear components, and more particularly relates to a dual mode positioner (100) for an aircraft landing gear axle beam (12). The dual mode positioner (100) serves to position an aircraft landing gear axle beam (12) relative to an aircraft strut (14) dependent alternatively for taxi and retraction into the aircraft, and also provides a predetermined amount of damping of the axle beam (12) during taxi.

A hydraulic system for retracting into and extending out of the body of an aircraft a landing gear for use in taking off and landing, comprises a housing unit (11) which has a hydraulic pump (20), a hydraulic actuator (35), a shuttle valve (42), an emergency valve (36), an actuator pressure releasing mechanism (60) and a mechanically locking mechanism (65) accommodated therein. The hydraulic actuator (35) has a piston rod assembly (36) received therein to be reciprocably moved by the hydraulic pump (20) to assume a retraction position (Pr) and an extended position (Pe). The shuttle valve (42) is movable with respect to the housing unit (11) for selectively changing the flow of the hydraulic fluid between the hydraulic pump (20) and the hydraulic actuator (35). The emergency valve (46) is movable with respect to the housing unit (11) to assume two different positions for selectively changing the flow of the hydraulic fluid between the hydraulic pump (20) and the hydraulic actuator (35) and the flow of the hydraulic pump (20) and the fluid pressure reservoir (71). The actuator pressure releasing mechanism (60) serves to release the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic actuator (35) to allow the piston rod assembly (36) to be freely moved with respect to the housing unit (11) toward the extended position of the piston rod assembly (36). The mechanically locking mechanism (65) is provided selectively to lock the piston rod assembly (36) with the housing unit (11) and to unlock the piston rod assembly (36) from the housing unit (11) to be freely moved.

摘要:
A single acting actuator (1) for an aircraft landing gear assembly having a piston (3) mounted in a cavity (60) and moveable relative to a housing (2) between a retracted position and an extended position, the piston dividing the cavity into first and second pressure chambers (5a, 5b). At least one of the pressure chambers is associated with first and second outlets (8a, 9a, 8b, 9b), with the actuator being arranged such that, in respect of the relative movement in which the pressure chamber is the decreasing volume pressure chamber, in a first stage of the relative movement the first and second outlets are open thereby allowing actuator fluid to flow out of the pressure chamber through the first and second outlets and in a second stage of the relative movement the second outlet is open but the first outlet is closed, thereby acting to slow the relative movement of the piston with respect to the housing.

The controller, when receiving the command, feeds back the discharge pressure detected by the sensor, and controls the operation of the electric motor such that the discharge pressure of the hydraulic pump reaches a target discharge pressure.
