摘要:
A selector lever (5) with two detent plates (11, 14) and corresponding detent pins (13, 16) that travel along a shaft (6) includes a float (17) that moves with each of the detent pins (13, 16). When a detent pin (13, 16) fails, a float pin (18) remains engaged with a catch (19), thereby preventing rotational movement of the shaft (6).
摘要:
A selector lever (5) with redundant detent pins (13,16) and detent plates (11,14) and a method for using the selector lever (5) to test for a failure of one or more detent pins (13,16). The detent plates (11,14) include a plurality of slots (12,15) connected by a channel (17) that corresponds to a disengaged position, enabling the detent pin (13,16) to be moved from one slot (12,15) to another. The selector lever (5) includes one or more obstructing features (18,19) in the channels (17) of the detent plates (11,14). The selector lever (5) further includes indicators (20,21,22) for comparing the location of the shaft (6) with the location of the obstructing features (18,19) while the slide (10) is in the disengaged position.
摘要:
A predictive system (10) is provided and includes a torque-limiter (33), a sensor (11) disposed to sense a condition of the torque-limiter (37) and a processing system (12). The processing system (12) is coupled to the sensor (11) and configured to process readings of the sensor (11), to calculate whether the condition of the torque-limiter (37) is indicative of degradation or failure incidents based on the readings being processed and to determine whether an action should be taken based on a calculation result.
摘要:
A selector lever (1) that comprises a shaft (2) rotatably attached to a pivot (4) and arranged between two detent plates (8,10), each of the detent plates (8,10) having a plurality of slots (9,11) arranged for receiving a detent pin (12,13) located on the shaft (2). Each of the plurality of slots (9,11) on each of the two detent plates (8,10) is defined by a radial depth (D1,D2). One or more of the plurality of slots (9,11) is a failure detection slot (16,17) having an extended radial depth (E1,E2). When one of the detent pins (12,13) has failed, the opposing detent pin (12,13) is allowed to travel into the extended radial depth (E1,E2) when placed in the failure detection slot (16,17). This action reveals a failure indicator (18), providing a visual indication that one of the detent pins (12,13) has failed.
摘要:
A method for braking a motor (24,25) in a high lift system (100) of an aircraft, the high lift system (100) comprising a central power drive unit for moving high lift surfaces (36) arranged at a wing through providing rotational power by means of a transmission shaft (30,32) to a plurality of drive stations (34) operably coupled with the high lift surfaces (36); which power drive unit (22) is operatively coupled to a controller (160) and comprises at least one electric motor (24,25) coupled therewith. The method includes determining a braking requirement for the at least one electric motor (24,25), measuring at least one of a current command to the motor (24,25) and a current speed and direction of the at least one electric motor (24,25), based on the braking requirement, applying a braking command to the at least one electric motor (24,25), and reducing the braking command as the at least one electric motor (24,25) comes to rest.
