Technical field

This application involves a kind of flight control surface component, such as leading edge slat component, which includes: one Or multiple flight control surfaces, the one or more flight control surface have the first part being separated from each other and second part；Even Connected components, the connection component are adapted for may be movably attached to the one or more flight control surface into the master of aircraft Wing so that each of these flight control surfaces flight control surface relative to host wing selectively retracted position with stretch It is moved in a manner of predetermined movement between out position.

Background technique

In order to selectively change lift degree provided by aircraft wing, aircraft wing is typically provided with sky Aerodynamic surface or flight control surface, these surfaces are movably coupled to host wing, them is allowed to retract or receiving It rises and is moved between position and at least one stretching or expanded position, in the retraction or stowed position, these surfaces are disposed in master It in wing or is directly arranged at thereon, at this, at least one is stretched out or expanded position, these surfaces are stretched out from host wing.Slat is The edge for being disposed in host wing of such removable flight control surface and the example that can be stretched out from it.

Flight control surface is usually provided with the groups of multiple flight control surfaces of organized side-by-side.It is all winged in such group Row control plane is operatively coupled to shared driving arrangement and is adapted to be retracting together in driving arrangement operation It moved between position and extended position, be performed simultaneously common predetermined synchronizing moving between a retracted position and an extended. In other words, in the operating process that driving arranges, all flight control surfaces are simultaneously and in parallel moved, and these flight controls Each of face flight control surface is moved along predetermined nominal path.This corresponds to normal operating condition.

In order to safely bear in malfunction (under the malfunction, one in these flight control surfaces Flight control surface deviates significantly from its predetermined movement) under component in the power of increase that is likely to occur, flight control surface and host wing Between mounting structure be typically constructed to extreme high reliability.However, this approach and relatively high cost and It is associated with relatively high complexity and/or weight.Therefore, a kind of detector arrangement, the detector are generally desirably provided It arranges to be adapted for the such malfunction of detection appearance and then stops any further shifting of these flight control surfaces It is dynamic.Position regardless of flight control surface, aircraft can safely fly, although efficiency slightly reduces.

The example of the malfunction of the above-mentioned type is the skew of the slat of slat component.Slat usually passes through multiple elongated seams Wing tracks are installed to host wing.Each slat track is relative to host wing in the corresponding retracted position in the stowed position of same slat It is moved between extended position corresponding with the expanded position of same slat.It is arranged by driving to realize that these slat tracks exist Movement between retracted position and extended position.For example, this driving arrangement may include drive shaft, which is caused by rotation Dynamic device is rotatably driven, and the drive shaft is attached to each of slat track via corresponding power train or gear-box The moving in rotation of drive shaft is converted into slat track longitudinally extending along them by slat track, the power train or gear-box Synchronous translational is mobile.Connection between slat track and the main body of slat realizes typically via hookup, these hookup packets Multiple ball bearings are included, so that the main body of slat is possible relative to the movement to a certain degree of slat track, to make The main body in slat is obtained relative to the position of slat track and the available compensation of the minor change of geometry, and to stitch At least there is decoupling to a certain degree between the deformation of the wing and the deformation of host wing.Position of the main body of slat relative to slat track Setting relative changes may move in the event that the slat track of for example single slat does not have synchronizing moving, i.e. in slat track differential Occur in the case where dynamic, so as to cause slat skew, and can be solved by the hookup being configured in the above manner.So And the arrangement (typically together with multiple chain links) of ball bearings used in these hookups it is relatively complex and expensive, And occupy sizable space.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of flight control surface component of the above-mentioned type, the flight control surface components With construction simple and that tool is cost-effective and one of it still is able to reply flight control surface and deviates significantly from its predetermined nominal road The malfunction of diameter.

This purpose is the flight control surface component by the feature with claim 1, the spy with claim 13 The aircraft of the aircraft wing of sign and the feature with claim 15 is realized.Flight control surface component and wing Preferred embodiment is the theme of corresponding dependent claims.

According to the present invention, it provides a kind of flight control surface component, specifically can be leading edge slat component, and fitted With the host wing for installation to aircraft.Flight control surface component includes one or more flight control surfaces, each flight control Face has the first part being separated from each other and second part.Flight control surface can be rear flight control surface, or flight Control plane can be leading edge flight control surface, such as especially slat.In the case where more than one flight control surface, these fly Row control plane can especially arrange in rows side by side.

The flight control surface component further comprises connection component, which is adapted for this or more A flight control surface may be movably attached to the host wing of aircraft, so that the flight control of each of these flight control surfaces (it is leading edge flight control surface that this depends on the component to leading edge or rear of the face relative to host wing, particularly relative to host wing Component or rear flight control surface component) selectively may be used in a manner of predetermined movement between a retracted position and an extended It is mobile.In extended position, the leading edge or rear of flight control surface correspondingly the leading edge away from host wing or rear in retracted position When compared to distance it is bigger.Predetermined movement is the movement under normal operating state, and for each in these flight control surfaces A flight control surface defines nominal movement routine.In the case where multiple flight control surfaces, these flight control surfaces are preferably It is selectively simultaneously and in parallel moved between a retracted position and an extended with fitting into.

Preferably, flight control surface component further includes that driving arranges, which is operably coupled to connection component, And it is operable to implement the predetermined movement of one or more flight control surfaces between a retracted position and an extended.Then, Flight control surface component preferably further includes control unit, which is connected to driving and arranges and drive with fitting into for controlling The dynamic operation arranged.Therefore, especially when being controlled by control unit, which (may include for example one or more Rotation or linear actuators, connecting rod and/or axis) it operates and flight-control surfaces is thus caused to execute predetermined movement.It should infuse Meaning, during flight, a variety of different power (such as the power generated due to being normally bent for wing) act on flight control On component processed, so that practical movement performed by flight control surface typically slightly deviates predetermined movement.

Under any circumstance, for respectively for each of flight control surface flight control surface, flight control surface group Part further includes rotatable and axially mounted on the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel.Therefore, the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel can surround Shared rotation axis rotation or their rotation axis coincident.For example, the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel may be mounted at altogether On axis or separated axis.First idler wheel has first axis end face, and the second idler wheel has the second axial end face.First Axial end face and the second axial end face facing each other, there are gaps between them.

In turn, for respectively for each of flight control surface flight control surface, flight control surface component includes inspection It surveys device and the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel is biased towards each other by biasing mechanism, the biasing mechanism, that is, bias in the axial direction.Cause This, first axis end face and the second axial end face are biased towards each other.

Moreover, flight control surface component includes passing for respectively for each of flight control surface flight control surface Motivation structure, the transmission mechanism are connected between flight control surface and the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel, so that flight control surface is contracting Return, which sets the movement between extended position, causes the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel to rotate, and mode is the rotation so that the first idler wheel Turn, the shifting of the second part of the rotation and flight control surface of second idler wheel corresponding with the movement of the first part of flight control surface Move corresponding, and the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel synchronous rotary, i.e., when flight operation face executes it is predetermined mobile when, the first idler wheel There is constant relative rotation angle with the second idler wheel.Correspondence is it is meant that during predetermined mobile, and first of flight control surface Divide and any variation of the position of second part causes the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel to rotate accordingly, that is, works as flight control surface When executing predetermined mobile, the rotation of the first idler wheel becomes with the movement of first part, and the rotation of the second idler wheel is with second Point movement and become.Correspondence can be in the position of first part and the position of second part and the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel Angle Position between predetermined relationship or function.For example, flight control surface (or more specifically, first part and second Part) translational movement can be converted into the corresponding rotation of the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel, or implement flight control surface The rotation of two rotary drive elements of the movement between retraction and extended position can be converted into the first idler wheel and second The rotation of idler wheel.Preferably, the direction of the rotation of the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel depends on the shifting of first part and second part Dynamic direction, that is, depend on whether flight control surface from retracted position is moved to extended position, and vice versa.

For each of the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel idler wheel, first axis end face includes CAM table face Point, and the second axial end face includes one or more prominent elements, and it is axial that the prominent element of the one or more is arranged in second It fixation position on end face and is contacted with cam surface portion.Therefore, when the second idler wheel rotates, the prominent member of one or more Part surrounds the rotation axis rotation of the second idler wheel together with the second idler wheel, while forcing the cam with the first idler wheel by bias arrangement Surface portion is in contact.As long as the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel synchronous rotary, the prominent element of one or more and cam face Partial constant position contact.However, when the relative angular position of the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel is due to the first of flight control surface When one of part and second part are deviateed its path corresponding with predetermined movement and changed, the position of contact becomes Change, i.e., one or more prominent elements are advanced along cam surface portion, while keeping contacting with cam surface portion.

It is so that when the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel are with corresponding with predetermined movement that cam surface portion, which is determined shape, Predetermined relative angular position when, the width in gap is minimum, and makes the width in gap with inclined with predetermined relative angular position It is continuously enlarged from increase.Therefore, the shape of cam surface portion is such that in the rotation speed of the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel When different, i.e., in the first idler wheel and the asynchronous rotation of the second idler wheel, the prominent elements of one or more are along cam surface portion It advances and is in contact with it, and cam surface portion pushes one or more prominent elements away from the first idler wheel and therefore pushes away Dynamic second idler wheel.It should be noted that on the contrary, when the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel arrive again at predetermined relative angular position, The width in gap due to biasing mechanism bias force and reduce again.First idler wheel and the second idler wheel may be mounted so that first The axial position of an idler wheel in idler wheel and the second idler wheel is fixed, and in the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel another Idler wheel moves in the axial direction in the change width in gap, or makes the first idler wheel and in the change width in gap Both second wheel axially moves.

Detector be adapted for provide instruction gap width whether be more than predetermined threshold detection signal.Detection letter It number can be the measuring signal for for example indicating the current width in gap, or only instruction is more than the signal of threshold value.In latter In the case of, detector can be switch, which is mounted so that when the first idler wheel and/or the movement of the second idler wheel and gap Width when reaching predetermined threshold, which is activated by a part of the first idler wheel or the second idler wheel.

This configuration is very simple, and may be configured to not influenced by wing is curved, that is, can reduce by wing The risk of false alarm caused by bending.For example, the skew of flight control surface (such as slat) can be reliably detected.Such as be used for Prevent the mechanical solution phase for excessively deviateing the predetermined synchronizing moving and especially preventing flight control surface or slat skew Than reducing the weight of component significantly.It is very simple that the component also has the advantages that production, installation and maintenance are got up.For example, Flight control surface can be easily removed and install, because only needing transmission mechanism (such as cited below first respectively Line elements and the second line elements) with flight control surface disconnect and be subject to connection.Further, all flight controls The detection signal in face can be fed to single detection unit or control unit, the single detection unit or control unit assessment inspection It surveys signal and takes appropriate steps.

In a preferred embodiment, for each of at least one flight control surface flight control surface, described A part of and described second part is spaced apart in the spanwise of the corresponding flight control surface.For example, first part can To be the first track (such as slat track in the case where flight control surface is slat), and second part is the second track (such as slat track in the case where flight control surface is slat).Then, the first track and the second track are controlled from flight The main body in face extends, and may be movably attached to connection component.

In a preferred embodiment, one or more for each of at least one flight control surface flight control surface The second axial end face or another portion of the prominent element of one or more or whole prominent elements and the second idler wheel in prominent element Divide and is formed integrally as single-piece.Alternatively, or with this embodiment it combines, one in the prominent element of one or more Or multiple prominent elements or whole prominent elements are the elements separated with the second idler wheel and are maintained on the second axial end face Fixation position.In the latter case, as the prominent member of each of protrusion element of the element separated with the second idler wheel Part is preferably rotatably retained on the ball in the associated recess portion in the second axial end face.It in this way will prominent member Part is configured to ball and offers the advantage that prominent element can roll on cam surface portion, so that reducing prominent element Friction and wear between cam surface portion.

In a preferred embodiment, flight control surface component further comprises detection unit, which is connected to and one The associated detector of each of a or multiple flight control surfaces flight control surface, and the detection unit is adapted to use Signals are detected in receiving the detection signal from each of these detectors detector and being used to assess these with determination Whether for a flight control surface at least one flight control surface the width in the gap alreadys exceed predetermined threshold, And for the width in the gap for a flight control surface at least one flight control surface to be determined Through be more than the predetermined threshold in the case where predetermined control signal is provided.Predetermined control signal indicates that one in flight control surface flies Row control plane has been over predetermined threshold.Connection between detector and detection unit can be advantageously via loose cable It implements, to cope with wing bending.

In a preferred embodiment, the transmission mechanism of each of one or more flight control surfaces flight control surface includes First line elements and the second line elements, first line elements and second line elements are respectively mechanically joined with one end It is connected to associated flight control surface, to open when the flight control surface moves between a retracted position and an extended in machinery It is moved together along their length with the flight control surface under power effect.The connection so that first line elements along its length Mobile (i.e. associated therewith, be its function or synchronous) corresponding with the movement of the first part of flight-control surfaces, and Second line elements along the movement of its length it is corresponding with moving for the second part of flight-control surfaces (it is i.e. associated therewith, It is its function or synchronous).First line elements and the second line elements can directly or indirectly be attached to flight control Face, such as it is attached directly to flight control surface, couple indirectly via individual component, these individual components are connected in turn Flight control surface, or be attached to driving part (such as be adapted for driving flight control surface predetermined movement actuating Device).Particularly, the first line elements and the second line elements can directly be attached to first part and second part respectively, Such as two tracks of slat track are attached in slat, or be attached to two portions of the main body of flight control surface Point.Generally, the first line elements and the second line elements are elongated, flexible elements (such as line, cable line or belt) and have Arbitrary section, it is preferred that circular section.First line elements are guided at least partially about the first idler wheel, and second Line elements are guided at least partially about the second idler wheel, to realize the rotation of the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel.The rotation of these idler wheels Turn to be by being implemented by torque that line elements are applied when line elements and flight control surface are moved together.It can be with Simple mode (such as suitable diameter by selecting the first idler wheel and the second idler wheel) come set when flight control surface execute it is pre- The synchronous rotary of first idler wheel and the second idler wheel when moving surely.Advantage provided by this embodiment is, due to using linear member Part reduces particularly simplely or avoids influence of the wing bending to detection.

Specific embodiment

In fig. 1 it is shown that including the aircraft 1 of two wings 3.Each of wing 3 wing includes 5 He of host wing Two flight control surface components, i.e., after 9 form of the leading edge flight control surface component of 7 form of slat component and wing flap component Edge flight control surface component.Each of slat component 7 slat component includes four slats 11, these slats are side by side in rows It arranges, and each of wing flap component 9 wing flap component includes four wing flaps 13, these wing flaps are equally pacified in rows side by side Row.In Fig. 1, these slats 11 and wing flap 13 are shown in retraction or stowed position, in the retraction or stowed position, slat 11 leading edge and the leading edge substantial registration of host wing 5, and the rear substantial registration of the rear of wing flap 13 and host wing 5. Arrow 2 indicates heading, that is, when making slat 11 move into extended position, it is moved relative to host wing 5 along heading 2 It moves and it is shifted against relative to host wing 5 and heading 2 when making slat 11 move into retracted position.Slat 11 and each of wing flap 13 or component 7,9 component install to corresponding host wing 5, allow them to be actuated to execute Predetermined movement between retracted position and stretching or expanded position (not shown).In other words, when in retracted position and extended position Between when moving, each of slat 11 and wing flap 13 follow predetermined nominal movement routine with predetermined nominal orientation.

For this purpose, as in Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b (a slat component in the slat component 7 the figures illustrate Fig. 1 Embodiment) shown in meaning property show, provide driving arrange 15, the driving arrangement include revolving actuator 17 and by rotation cause The rotatable drive shaft 19 that dynamic device 17 drives.Each of slat 11 slat passes through two elongated arc-shaped slit wing tracks or branch The installation of element 21 is supportted to corresponding host wing 5, these arc-shaped slit wing tracks or support component extend parallel to each other and in phase It is separated from each other in the spanwise for the slat 11 answered.Two planes associated with the two slat tracks 21 are parallel to each other. The distal end of each of slat track 21 slat track is connected to the main body of slat 11.Slat track 21, which respectively extends into, becomes owner of It is mounted to be along in respective planes and by the arcuate shape of slat track 21 institute in wing 5 and in host wing 5 The arc of restriction, retracted position (when in the position, slat 11 is in its stowed position) and extended position (when in the position, Slat 11 is in its expanded position) between it is moveable.When revolving actuator 17 operates, drive shaft 19 is revolved by driving Turn, and thus implementing the movement of slat track 21, and thus implements entire slat 11 between stretching and retracted position It is mobile.

Importantly, slat track 21 limits the predetermined synchronizing moving of slat 11 when actuator 17 operates, it is predetermined at this During synchronizing moving, each of slat 11 slat has the pre- of predetermined relative location and orientation along relative to host wing 5 It is mobile to determine path.For example, through the entire movement between retracted position and extended position, slat 11 can keep or keep substantially They in fig. 2 a shown in disposed opposite.It should be noted, however, that as already explained above, with this predetermined movement Be offset slightly from typically due to the power that occurs in normal flight operations and occur.

Fig. 3 shows the further details of the slat component 7 of Fig. 2 a, wherein for the ease of showing, eliminates driving peace Row, and illustrate only three slats in slat 11.For each of slat 11 slat, slat component 7 includes: with one The line 23a for holding one slat track being connected in slat track 21, is connected to another in slat track 21 with one end Slat track line 23b, two rotatably mounted angle pulley 25a, 25b, two are coaxially arranging, rotatably mounted Idler wheel 27a, 27b (one in Fig. 3 only in them is visible, but may refer to Fig. 4) and two it is rotatably mounted Reel 29a, 29b.The end sections winding opposite with slat track 21 of line 23a is coiled on reel 29a, and line 23b Opposite with slat track 21 end sections winding or be coiled on reel 29b.Reel 29a, 29b are on coil direction by bullet Spring load, so that line 23a, 23b are kept under tension along their length.

When since slat track 21, line 23a is guided around angle pulley 25a, is then guided around idler wheel 27a, and most Winding reel 29a is guided afterwards, and angle pulley 25a is arranged so that line 23a from slat track 21 in the wing chord side of slat 11 It upwardly extends, 90 ° is then deflected at angle pulley 25a, so that the line is between angle pulley 25a and idler wheel 27a in slat Extend in 11 spanwise.Similarly, when since slat track 21, line 23b around angle pulley 25b guide, then around Idler wheel 27b guidance, and last winding reel 29b guidance, and angle pulley 25b is arranged so that line 23b from slat track 21 extend in the chordwise of slat 11, then at angle pulley 25b deflect 90 ° so that the line angle pulley 25b with Extend in the spanwise of slat 11 between idler wheel 27b.Therefore, when slat 11 extends and retracts, line 23a, 23b are in tension It is moved together under effect along their length and slat 11, or more precisely, slat track 21 connected to them It moves together, while rotates idler wheel 27a, 27b, so that idler wheel 27a, 27b's rotates and the translation of corresponding slat track 21 Movement is corresponding.Idler wheel 27a, 27b are configured so that these idler wheels are if slat 11 executes its predetermined movement with constant Predetermined relative angular position synchronous rotary.However, the rotation of idler wheel 27a, 27b become asynchronous when deviateing this predetermined movement , so that their relative angular position changes.

Fig. 4 shows the section view of two idler wheels 27a, 27b.As shown in Figure 4, idler wheel 27a, 27b are rotatably It is mounted on shared axis 31, so that they have common axis of rotation line 33.Idler wheel 27a, 27b are arranged in shell 35, and And axis 31 is fixedly secured to shell 35 by two nuts 37.Both idler wheel 27a, 27b are axially movable each along axis 31, and And in Fig. 4 by compressed spring 39 to right-hand offset.Therefore, idler wheel 27a, 27b is always positioned in shell 35 and leans on as much as possible It is right.However, being constantly present gap 41 between two of idler wheel 27a, 27b end face 43a, 43b faced, gap 41 is by being arranged in end Multiple spheres 45 (in Fig. 4 only there are two sphere visible) for contacting between face 43a, 43b and with these end faces are kept.

Each of sphere 45 sphere is kept in the respective recesses 47 provided in the 43b of end face relative to end face 43b In fixed position.Further, in each of sphere 45 sphere elongate recesses 49 provided in opposite end face 43a It is in contact with end face 43a.Groove 49 is configured so that in the case where two idler wheels 27a, 27b asynchronous rotation, sphere 47 It is moved along groove 49.Further, the depth of groove 49 varies along its length, so that the groove has maximum at a certain position Depth, and depth reduces to the two sides of this position.When two idler wheels 27a, 27b have scheduled relative angular position, ball Each of body 47 sphere contact face 43a at the position of the depth capacity of corresponding recesses 49, then makes gap 41 Size has minimum value.However, sphere 47 is in groove 49 along slope with the increase of the deviation with predetermined relative angular position It travels upwardly, so that the size in gap 41 increases.In this case, idler wheel 27a along axis 31 in Fig. 4 increasingly to moving to left It is dynamic.

Compressed spring 39 is arranged between shell 35 and plate 53, and ball bearing 51 is arranged in plate 53 and idler wheel 27a Between (similar ball bearing is arranged between idler wheel 27b and shell 35, but is not shown in Fig. 4).55 jail of pin is fixedly secured Extend to the left to plate 53 and from the plate.When gap 41 has its minimum dimension, pin 55 is spaced apart with switch 57, the switch There is provided in electric wiring 59, and by the switch 57 of idler wheel 27a, 27b of the slat of slat component 7 11 and detection unit 61 with Circuit simultaneously interconnects in series.Switch 57 is normally closed, so that the usually detection closed circuit of detection unit 61.However, if at Pair idler wheel 27a, 27b in the size in gap 41 of an idler wheel be more than predetermined threshold, then pin 55 reaches corresponding switch 57 And disconnected, so that detection unit 61 detects the interruption of circuit, which indicates relative angular position and predetermined relative angle position The deviation set alreadys exceed the threshold value of at least one idler wheel in pairs of idler wheel 27a, 27b.

Fig. 2 b schematically illustrates the malfunction of the slat component 7 of Fig. 2 a and Fig. 3.Under nonserviceabling, slat 11 In a slat relative to other slats 11 and the skew of host wing 5, and therefore during actuator 17 operates, it will be apparent that partially From predetermined movement.Due to the askew position of slat 11, the relative angular position of associated idler wheel 27a, 27b deviate scheduled opposite Angle Position, and when skew reaches threshold value, associated switch 57 disconnects, as explained above.Therefore, detection unit 61 Detect the interruption of circuit.

The threshold value is chosen to the slat 11 occurred during normal flight and is slightly away from and will not lead with predetermined mobile Cause switch 57 disconnects, but skew only corresponding with malfunction or another minimum deviation just will lead to Circuit Interrupt.It is examining When measuring Circuit Interrupt, detection unit 61 exports control signal via control line road direction actuator 17, and control signal control causes Dynamic device 17 stops actuating, to therefore stop the further movement of slat 11.
