    摘要: A system for quasi-statically correcting tracking of rotor blades of a helicopter rotor during operation includes a trim tab mounted on each rotor blade and deflectable relative to the rotor blade so as to change a tracking path of the rotor blade, and a rotor track and balance analyzer that includes sensors for acquiring rotor tracking and balance information and is operable to process the rotor tracking and balance information so as to predetermine a new tab position to which the trim tab should be deflected for bringing the tracking path of a mistracking rotor blade into alignment with a reference path. The trim tab is deflected by an actuator mounted to the rotor blade, the actuator having an actuating element coupled with the trim tab and formed of a smart material such that the actuating element deforms proportional to a stimulus applied to the actuating element. An electrical locking device is included which is operable when de-energized to lock the trim tab against deflection, and operable when energized to unlock to permit the trim tab to be deflected. A trim actuation control system in communication with the rotor track and balance analyzer and the locking device is arranged to energize the locking device and to supply electrical power to the actuator so as to deflect the trim tab to the new tab position predetermined in the rotor track and balance analyzer, and to then de-energize the locking device and cut off the electrical power to the actuator. Thus, electrical power is supplied to the actuator only while the trim tab is being deflected, and is then discontinued once the tab has reached the desired position and the locking device has been de-energized to lock the tab against further movement.

    摘要: In an individual rotor blade control device for a helicopter main rotor with a rotor shaft that can be driven by a main drive, with an even number of rotor blades that are arranged on the periphery of a rotor hub, with primary control mechanisms for collective and sinusoidal, cyclic rotor blade adjustment, which include a transfer element for the control movements from a non-rotating system to a rotating system and with actuators that are individually allocated to the rotor blades, wherein the actuator control movement is superimposed onto the control movement of the primary control mechanisms and each actuator is equipped with a safety device in order to bring the actuator into its final position and keep it there, if necessary, it is suggested that the setting angle change of one half of the rotor blades have an opposed direction due to the securing of the actuators in their final positions, like the setting angle change of the other half of rotor blades, and that the rotor blades of each half be distributed on the periphery in such a way that no pitching moments that could affect the rotor are generated.

    摘要: A variable pitch fan in which the pitch of the fan blades is varied under control of a controller according to the speed of the fan. The controller is programmed to respond to increased fan speed by decreasing pitch of the fan blades. The variable pitch fan has a piston extending axially from a main shaft, about which main shaft a fan blade hub rotates. A pitch shifter is mounted on a cylinder, which itself is mounted on the piston. The pitch shifter is actuated by hydraulic fluid supplied through the main shaft to the cylinder. The piston is preferably axially stationary in relation to the main shaft. The cylinder is secured against rotational movement by cooperating out of round surfaces. Grease for the pitch shifter is supplied through the guide pin. One guide pin may be used for grease supply, while another may be used for excess grease return. Cooling of a pitch shifter may be accomplished using a heat sink mounted within the fan hub, preferably in a fan configuration, to conduct heat away from the cylinder into air rotating within the fan hub. Counterweights are mounted on each fan blade of a variable pitch fan, preferably hydraulically actuated, in a position which generates a torque opposite in direction to torque generated by the fan blades. The counterweights may be overbalanced, underbalanced, or balanced.

    摘要: On the rotor, between each blade and the member for linking with the hub, an electrical connecting cable comprises a first section of which one part is held above that one of the two blade pins which is the detachable pin whose withdrawal allows the folding of the blade by pivoting about the other blade pin forming a pivot pin, by holding means tied to this detachable pin, in the flight position of the blade. This section of cable is released from its holding means before the withdrawal of the latter and of the detachable blade pin, which precedes the folding, in such a way that this section of cable deforms naturally on following the pivoting of the blade. After deployment of the blade, a part of the section of cable is again held in the holding means, in the flight position of the blade.

    摘要: On the rotor, between each blade and the member for linking with the hub, an electrical connecting cable comprises a first section of which one part is held above that one of the two blade pins which is the pivot pin about which the blade can be folded by pivoting, once the other blade pin has been removed. This holding is provided by a cradle formed in a cable support connected to the pivot pin, and by a collar articulated to one edge of the cradle and which can be folded down into the closed position onto the opposite edge of the cradle, to which this collar can be connected detachably by at least one detachable retaining element. The section of cable is manually released from the collar and from the cradle before the removal of the removable pin, which precedes folding, so that this section of cable deforms naturally, following the pivoting of the blade. While the blade has been deployed, the releasable part of this section is once again retained in the cradle above the pivot pin by the closing of the collar.

    摘要: In the control system for a turbo-charged diesel aircraft engine, the engine speed and the fuel injection amount are controlled by a single control lever in such a manner that the engine speed and the fuel injection amount maintain a predetermined fixed relationship in which the fuel injection amount is always smaller than a smoke limit amount. The control system further includes a boost compensator, that restricts the fuel injection amount to a value less than a boost pressure fuel limit determined by the boost pressure of the engine, and an altitude compensator that restricts the fuel injection amount to the value less than an altitude fuel limit.

    摘要: A system that allows a boat propeller to maintain a constant blade speed by varying the pitch of the propeller in order to allow the boat's motor to operate at an optimum RPM. The system includes a governor that sends hydraulic fluid to an annular piston, which in turn controls the pitch of the boat propeller blades so that the torque experienced by the engine is kept approximately constant.
