    摘要: A method of testing an aircraft landing gear is disclosed including: a) generating a test signal with the first tachometer, wherein the first wheel is not rotating during the generation of the test signal; b) receiving the test signal via one of the tachometer output lines; c) issuing a braking command in response to the receipt of the test signal, wherein the braking command is issued via the braking command line which is associated with the one of the tachometer output lines; and d) monitoring a response of the first or second braking system to the braking command to test for a cross-connection between the first and second braking systems. The landing gear includes first and second wheels; a first braking system having a first tachometer mounted to the first wheel and configured to generate a first tachometer signal indicating rotation of the first wheel, and a first brake configured to brake the first wheel.

    摘要: A braking torque sensor of a brake is provided, the braking torque sensor includes: a long circular shaft hole arranged on a brake arm of the brake; a connecting plate configured to detect a braking displacement which is generated by the hinge shaft of the brake element in a long circular shaft hole and varies with the magnitude of the friction force when the braking action is performed by the brake, and convert the detected displacement into a plate deformation of the connecting plate; and a tension sensor configured to convert the plate deformation generated due to the braking action on the connecting plate into force information, and transmit the force information outwards in a form of electrical signal or digital signal. The detection result of the braking torque sensor is consistent with the actual result, so that an abnormal condition of the brake can be detected in time.

    摘要: An abnormality diagnosis method that diagnoses abnormality of a braking unit included in a prescribed apparatus that includes: the braking unit including a pressing member, an urging member that urges the pressing member toward an actuator, and an attraction device that releases an urging state of the pressing member that is pressed by the urging member; and a controller configured to control braking by the braking unit and that changes operation programs each including a plurality of operation steps, based on an attraction time period when the pressing member is separated from the actuator to release braking. The abnormality diagnosis method includes: a step of the prescribed apparatus calculating the attraction time period when the prescribed apparatus executes prescribed operation steps associated with corresponding operation programs; and a step of diagnosing abnormality of the braking unit based on the calculated attraction time period.
