Definitions
- This invention relates to a hydraulic system for raising and lowering an aircraft landing gear.
- the invention is more particularly but not exclusively useful for a kind of aircraft landing gear known as a side brace, where the landing gear is movable between a generally vertical condition for landing, and a generally horizontal condition for stowage e.g. within a wing of the aircraft.
- a particular feature of such side brace landing gears is that landing loads act through an actuator which is provided to raise and lower the landing gear. Accordingly such actuators have to be more substantial than would be required simply for raising and lowering the landing gear.
- actuators are piston and cylinder arrangements, and the piston diameter is made larger than is necessary just for raising and lowering the landing gear.
- the actuator demands a large volume of hydraulic fluid for operation.
- flap lowering actuators may require fluid, which can place high demands on the hydraulic pump(s) supplying pressurised hydraulic fluid to the various services.
- a hydraulic system for raising and lowering aircraft landing gear including an actuator which is extendible and retractable to operate the landing gear, the actuator including a movable member in a casing, the movable member being moved relative to the casing in a first direction to extend the actuator when fluid under pressure is supplied to a first side of the movable member whilst fluid is exhausted from a second side of the movable member, and the movable member being moved in a second direction to retract the actuator when fluid under pressure is supplied to the second side of the movable member whilst fluid is exhausted from the first side of the movable member, and there being selector valve means selectively to supply pressurised fluid to the first or second side of the movable member, characterised in that means are provided to permit exhausted fluid from at least one of the first and second sides of the movable member to augment the supplied fluid from the selector valve means and thus be directed with the supplied fluid, to the second or first side respectively of the movable member.
- the demand on the hydraulic pump(s) is thus reduced during landing gear operation as exhausted fluid is recirculated to augment the fluid supply, thus reducing the volume of fluid required from the hydraulic pump(s) to operate the landing gear.
- the means which permit exhausted fluid to augment the supplied fluid includes a check valve which is opened as the movable member of the actuator moves relatively in the casing in the first direction to extend the actuator and lower the landing gear.
- the check valve may be adapted to open to permit exhausted fluid from the second side of the movable member to augment the supplied fluid in response to the pressure of the fluid supplied to the first side of the member or alternatively in response to a pressure build up in a line carrying exhausted fluid from the second side of the movable member.
- closure means are provided positively to close the check valve when pressurised fluid is supplied by the selector valve to the second side of the movable member.
- Such closure means may be of a hydraulic and/or mechanical nature.
- exhausted fluid which is not recirculated from the at least one of the first and second sides of the movable member as the movable member reaches the end of travel in the casing.
- the hydraulic system includes a first fluid supply line to the first side of the movable member for supplied fluid from the selector valve means when the selector valve means is in a first position, and a second supply line to the second side of the movable member for supplied fluid from the selector valve means when the selector valve means is in a second position, and the means which permit exhausted fluid from at least one of the first and second sides of the movable member to augment the supplied fluid from the selector valve means and thus be directed with the supplied fluid, to the second or first side respectively of the movable member, permitting the exhausted fluid to flow from the second supply line to the first supply line.
- the second supply line may include non-return means at least to restrict the flow of exhausted fluid from the hydraulic system.
- a restrictor means is provided to enable a restricted flow of exhausted fluid to by-pass the non-return means so that fluid which is not recirculated, is not trapped in the second supply line which could interfere with the proper operation of the landing gear.
- the selector valve means may be movable to a first position to permit the flow of fluid therethrough from a source of pressurised fluid to the first side of the movable member, and to a second position to permit the flow of fluid therethrough from the source to the second side of the movable member, and to a rest position in which the source is isolated and fluid may pass from the system to tank.
- a valve including a valve member and a piston each received in a passage in a valve body, the valve member and piston being biased apart by resilient means such that the valve member is urged towards a valve seat towards one end of the passage, and the piston is urged towards a stop towards an opposite end of the passage, a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the pressure of fluid at the inlet when sufficient, acting to move the valve member against the force of the biasing means off the valve seat to permit fluid flow from the inlet, past the valve seat, to the outlet, and the piston being movable in the passage away from the stop in response to a pilot pressure delivered to a pilot pressure port of the body against the force of the biasing means to a position in the passage in which the piston engages the valve member and restrains the valve member against movement off the valve seat in response to the inlet pressure.
- Means may be provided to permit fluid pressure at the outlet to be communicated to an intermediate region of the passage between the valve member and the piston at least when the piston is engaged with the stop.
- the outlet may open into the valve passage and there may be a flow path for the fluid at the outlet past and/or through the valve member to the intermediate region when the valve member is in engagement with the valve seat.
- Such a valve in accordance with the third aspect of the invention may be a check valve to permit the flow of exhausted fluid from at least one of the first and second sides of the movable member of the actuator of the hydraulic system according to the first aspect of the invention to augment the supplied fluid from the selector valve means and thus be directed with the supplied fluid, to the second or first side respectively of the movable member.
- FIGURE 1 is a front illustrativ e view of an aircraft showing the landing gear thereof on one side in a lowered landing condition and the landing gear at the other side partly raised towards a stowed condition, the landing gear being operated by a hydraulic system in accordance with the invention.
- FIGURE 2 is an illustrative view of a hydraulic system in accordance with the invention;
- FIGURE 3 is a more detailed but illustrative view of a check valve for use in the system of figure 2.
- an aircraft 10 has landing gear 11, 12 one at each side thereof, the landing gears 11, 12 each including a strut assembly 13 which carries a landing wheel 14, which strut assembly 13 is movable between a generally vertical lowered condition for landing, and a raised stowed condition in which the strut assembly 13 is generally horizontal and located within a wing 15 where the landing gear 11, 12 is stowed.
- the landing gears 11, 12 are operable by means of respective actuators 18 which are extendible and retractable by means of pressurised hydraulic fluid.
- each actuator 18 has a movable member or piston 19 in this example, which moves inside a casing or cylinder 20, as is well known in the art of hydraulic systems.
- Hydraulic fluid is fed to the actuator 18 via a selector valve means 25 to which a source of fluid under pressure i.e. a hydraulic pump 26 is connected.
- the pump 26 draws hydraulic fluid for pumping, from a tank 27.
- the selector valve means 25 is movable between three positions in this example.
- pressurised fluid is supplied to a first supply line 30 which extends to the head end 22 of the actuator 18.
- a flow regulating means 31 which controls the pressure of fluid which is supplied to the head end 22 of the actuator 18.
- Also there is a by-pass one way valve 32 which enables fluid from the first supply line 30 to flow freely to tank 27 as hereinafter described.
- the pressurised fluid source i.e. pump 26 When the spool 29 of the selector valve means 25 is in an intermediate or rest position as shown and indicated at R, the pressurised fluid source i.e. pump 26 is isolated from the actuator 18 and moreover fluid may flow from the first supply line 30 as well as from a second supply line 34 to be described, back to tank 27.
- pressurised fluid is fed from the pump 26 to a second supply line 34 which extends to the rod end 23 of the actuator 18.
- the second supply line 34 includes a one way valve 35 through which pressurised fluid may freely flow to the rod end 23 of the actuator 18, and a bypass restrictor 36 which allow s fluid to by-pass the one way vale 35 as hereinafter described.
- check valve 40 Between the first 30 and second 34 supply lines, there is a check valve 40.
- the operation of the check v alve 40 is shown illustratively, and the operation of a practical such check valv e 40 will be described below with reference to figure 3.
- the selector valve means 25 is moved to the first position I. Fluid thus flows along the first supply line 30, through the flow regulating means 31 to the head end 22 of the actuator 18 and the piston 19 is caused to commence movement to extend the actuator 18 to lower the landing gear 11 or 12. Fluid flow from the rod end 23 of the actuator 18 is however restricted to a small flow through the by-pass restrictor 36 from where the exhausted fluid passes to tank 27 via the selector valve means 25.
- piston 19 movement in the cylinder 20 may continue fully to lower the landing gear 11 or 12.
- a mechanical or other sensing arrangement may interface with an interlock which operates mechanically to retain the landing gear in its fully lowered condition and may cause the selector valve means 25 to assume the rest position R once the landing gear 1 1 or 12 is fully lowered.
- fluid may flow from the first and second supply lines 30, 34 to tank 27 so that the system is unpressurised when the landing gear 1 1 or 12 is in a fully lowered condition and the pump 26 is indicated.
- the selector valve means 25 When the selector valve means 25 is moved to the rest position R, the check valve 40 will be closed by the action of a return spring 42 or the like.
- the selector valve means 25 When it is desired to raise the landing gear 11 or 12 the selector valve means 25 may be moved to the second position II in which pressurised fluid is fed to the second supply line 34 through the one way valve 35 to the rod end 23 of the actuator 28, and the piston 19 will be moved to begin retraction of the landing gear 11 or 12. Where there is an interlock mechanically to retain the landing gear in a lowered condition, this needs to be released before the piston 19 can move. Such release may be arranged to occur simultaneously with selector valve means 25 movement.
- Fluid which is exhausted from the head end 22 of the actuator 18 may flow freely past the one way valve 32 in the first line 30, to tank 27 via the selector valve means 25.
- the check valve 40 will remain closed when the selector valve means 25 is in the second condition and there is no exchange of fluid between the two lines 30 and 34.
- a portion of the fluid is bled to a pilot line 39 which flows to the check valve 40 and operates to maintain the check valve 40 in the closed condition.
- an uplock may be operated mechanically to hold the landing gear in its raised condition.
- the selector valve means 25 may be moved to the rest position R so that again, the hydraulic system is unpressurised when the landing gear 1 1 or 12 is in its stowed condition.
- check valve 40 Referring now to figure 3 a particular example of a check valve 40 is illustrated.
- the check valve 40 has a valve body 50 in which there is provided a valve passage 51.
- the passage 51 contains a valve member 52 which is movable in the passage 5 1 into and away from engagement with a valve seat 54, towards one end 60 of the passage, and a valve piston 55.
- the valve piston 55 has a larger cross sectional area than the valv e member 52, and accordingly the passage 51 is stepped.
- the valve piston 55 is in sealing engagement with the passage 51.
- a resilient biasing means which in this example is a coil spring 56 which urges the valve member 52 into engagement with its seat 54, and the valve piston 55 into engagement with a stop 58 at one closed end 59 of the passage 51.
- valve member 52 At the opposite end 60 of the passage 51 to the closed end 59, there is a fluid inlet 61, arranged such that fluid pressure at the inlet 61 acts to lift the valve member 52 from the seat 54 when sufficient to overcome the force of the coil spring 56.
- a fluid outlet 59 intersects with the passage 51 and is positioned such that as the valve member 52 is lifted off its seat 54, fluid flow from the inlet 61 to the outlet 59 is permitted.
- the valve member 52 has a circumferential recess 64 which is aligned with the outlet when the valve member 52 is on its seat 54. The recess 64 opens to an axially extending channel 65 along the valve member 52 so that fluid pressure at the outlet 59 is communicated to an intermediate region 66 between the valve member 52 and the valve piston 55.
- valve member 52 and the valve piston 55 are each cut away to provide a location for the coil spring 56 and to enhance the volume of the intermediate region 66.
- outlet fluid pressure assists the spring 56 in urging the valve member 52 and piston 55 apart.
- a pilot pressure is delivered to the check valve along line 39 and acts to urge the valve piston 55 away from its stop 58 and against the force of the coil spring 56 until the valve piston 55 engages the valve member 52 to urge the valve member 52 firmly onto the seat 54, notwithstanding high supply fluid pressures exerted on the face 74 of the valve member 52, because the valve piston 55 are of on which the pilot pressure acts, is greater than that of the valve member 52.
- check valve 40 described with reference to figure 3 is only an example of a check valve suitable for the potpose of allowing fluid expelled from the actuator 18 to augment the flow of fluid to the actuator.
- valves 32, 35 and/or the restrictor means 36 and/or the flow control means 31 may be provided in a common valve block together or not with the check valve 40 and possibly the selector valve means 25 too.
