Abstract

(57) Abstract The object of the invention is a transmission system of a transfer device gripping a double wheel, which transfer device is intended to move an aircraft (1) or other wheeled device over a base, which transfer device includes at least two friction rollers (3, 4) and motors (5) to drive them, i.e. one for each ground wheel (6) of the device (1) to be moved, and compression devices (2) to create the compression to press the friction roller (3, 4) against the ground wheel, and which system includes a power device and transmission devices to feed the operating power to the motors. The intention of the invention is to create a transmission for a transfer device that creates a steady push irrespective of a poor location of the pushing point, which is the main undercarriage. The system according to the invention includes devices to feed the operating power separately and independently of each other to each of the motors (5) driving the ground wheel (6).

A Transmisslon System for a Transfer Device gripping'a Double Wheel ;

The ob~ect of the invention is a transmission system ~or a 5 transfer device gripping a double wheel, wh$ch tran~fer device is intended to move an aircraft or other device equipped with double wheels over a base, and which transfer device includes at least two friction rollers and motors to rotate them, that is, ono for each wheel of the device to be moved, a friction roller 10 to be pressed against this, and compression devices to create the pressure, and the system also includes a power device and power transmission device~ to feed the driving force to the motors Here the term double wheel also means the neighbouring wheel~ of a bogie lS

thi~, because they stress the ground wheel Or the aircraft considerably more than a transfer device that qrips both wheels with two or more friction rollers In any event this invention can also be applied for example to a transfer device in 5 accordance with application FI870710, which shows a self-wedqing trans~er device that grips a double wheel, and in which both friction rollers are eguipped wlth their own motor and gearbox A transrer device that grips double wheel~, e~pecially the nose 10 ground wheels, i~ shown in US patent publication 3,005,510 In this neighbouring bogie wheels are driven by means of two rriction tracXs, WhiCh are wedged between the two in-line bogie wheel~ ~he hydraulic transmission includes both a direction switch valve and a flow distribution valve, by means o~ which 15 the flow going to the rlght and lert side hydraulic motors can be ad~u~ted The ad~u~tment take~ place by means o~ two r-~trlotion polnt- that are connoet-d to one another, ~o that wh-n th- ono deoreas-~ in ~iz- th- oth-r increa~e~ ~y mean~ o~

invention can also be adapted to operation with electri¢
transmi~sion. The control of electric motors i~ most advantageously based on frequency trans~ormer technology and the entire system can be based on diesel-electrlc transmis~ion.
The ~orm o~ application in accordance with Patent Claim 7 makes lt possible for the turning moment created by the one-sided push Or the new method to be cancelled. In addition to the pushing ~orce a turning ~orce is al50 developed by the trans~er device, 10 which cancel~ either entirely or in part the turning ~orce given to the aircraft by the pushing force. A braking device is most easily created in a hydraulic system e,quipped with two pumps by setting the pumps asynchronously, l.e. 80 that the output of the one pump is set to be less than that o~ the other.
In what ~ollows the invention is illustrated with the aid of example~ by re~erence to the accompanying ~igures, which show variou~ ~orms o~ application of the invention.

During the transfer the aircraft 1 i8 steered by turning the nose wheel 22 in the desired direction.

In Figure 2 only the undercarriage and ground wheels 6 of the S airoraft 1 are shown. The transfer device moves on its own wheels and in addition to them the principal components are friation roller~ 3 and 4, the hydraulic motors 5 that drive them together with gearboxes and power unit, which includes a hydraulic pump unlt driven by a diesel motor.
~oth ground wheels 6 have their own friction rollers 3 and 4, both o~ which are driven by hydraulic motor 5. The front friction motor~ 4 are arranged, in a known manner, to be turned to the sid-, so that the transfer device can mov- around the 15 ground wheels 6 of the aircraft 1. The ~upport o~ the front roller 4 io arranged by mean~ o~ ~liding member 7, which is moved by means o~ hydraulio oylinder 7 and which in ito extreme posltion is also allowed to turn. Figure 2 shows the ~ame stage in pu~hing as Figure 1.
The prlncipal components of the hydraulic transmission sy~tem in Flgure 3 are the pump unit drlven by diesel motor 8, the hydraullc motor- 5, and pre~sur- compen~at-d ~low di~tribution valve~ 10. ~he pump unit includes a high pressure pump 9 and its 25 feed pump and lubricating oil oystem. Changes in direction and g-aring ~ake place by altering the ~troke capacity of the high pre~sure pump 8 and the direction of the flow. The motor~ 5 are divid-d into two qroupo by means of the tlow distribution valves 10. One group drives the right-hand and the other the left-hand 30 ground wheel 6. The ~low distribution valves 10 really only operate in one direction, in the reverse direction they permit a free flow. On account of this two o~ them are requlred, one for each direction.

35 Figure 4 shows the construction of a pressure-compensated ~low distribution valve 10 in detail. The pipe coming from pump 9 is oonneoted to connection 11 and the pipe~ coming ~rom the motor~
5 are connected to connections 12. The principal directions o~
2~2~85 flow are marked with arrows in Figure 4. Pressure compen~ation i9 arranged by the spindle 13, which i~ arranged to be moved.
Reverse flow takes place with practically no obstacle through valves 14. In the sy~tem shown in Figure 3 one ot the steady S ~low valves 10 divides the ~low precisely into two parts and the other collects ~lows to pump 9.

Moro precise synchronization than the above i~ achieved by the two pump system shown in Figure S. In this both of the 10 atorementioned motor groups use their own pump lS. The ~peed of revolution of both is the same and the ad~ustment levers are combined to be turned synchronously in normal conditions. In good conditions valve 19 i~ kept open, 8e that thero i~ no locklng between the right and lett-hand ground wheel~ the 15 alrtleld 1~ lcy or ln windy weathor valve 19 i- clo~ed, when the ynchronous operation of the motors S tries to keep the aircraft tralght. By etting the ad~ustment levers oS the atorementioned pump- lS to ditterent position~ one begins to have a greater output than the other. The motors S in the ¢ircuit with the 20 small-r tlow begin to have a braking etfect. It th- braking olrcuit connects in the ~ituation in Pigure 1, i.e. in the ~ltuation ot the tran~er d-vice pushing trom the right-hand ~id-, to the right-hand ground wh--l 6, the turning moment cr-ated by the pu-hlng torce created by the transter device 20 25 cancel- the moment. This ~ind o~ moment cancellation i~
nec-ssary tor example when moving relatively long types ot airoratt on l¢y air~ield~ and in windy weather.
