Description
La présente invention concerne l’entraînement en rotation d’une roue de véhicule, et plus particulièrement un moteur hydraulique à pistons radiaux pourvu de moyens de blocage des pistons en position rentrée.The present invention relates to the rotational drive of a vehicle wheel, and more particularly to a hydraulic motor with radial pistons provided with means for locking the pistons in the retracted position.
ARRIERE PLAN DE L’INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Dans le domaine de l’aviation, il est désormais prévu d’équiper les aéronefs d’un dispositif d’entraînement en rotation des roues pour permettre le déplacement au sol de l’aéronef sans utiliser son ou ses groupes motopropulseurs. Il s’agit généralement de mettre en rotation un organe d’entraînement et de transmettre le mouvement de rotation de l’organe d’entraînement à la roue via une interface de liaison.In the field of aviation, it is now planned to equip aircraft with a device for driving the wheels in rotation to allow movement on the ground of the aircraft without using its power unit(s). This generally involves rotating a drive member and transmitting the rotational movement of the drive member to the wheel via a link interface.
Il est connu d’équiper une roue d’aéronef d’un moteur hydraulique à pistons radiaux pour l’entraîner en rotation. Le moteur hydraulique comprend une came ondulée liée en rotation à la roue, un bloc-cylindres comportant une pluralité de cylindres disposée radialement par rapport à l’axe de rotation de la roue, et une pluralité de pistons montés coulissant dans les cylindres et pourvus à une extrémité d’un galet d’appui sur la came. De cette manière, le bloc-cylindres peut entraîner en rotation la came qui entraîne à son tour la roue pour déplacer l’aéronef.It is known to equip an aircraft wheel with a radial piston hydraulic motor to drive it in rotation. The hydraulic motor comprises a corrugated cam linked in rotation to the wheel, a cylinder block comprising a plurality of cylinders arranged radially with respect to the axis of rotation of the wheel, and a plurality of pistons mounted sliding in the cylinders and provided with one end of a support roller on the cam. In this way, the cylinder block can rotate the cam which in turn drives the wheel to move the aircraft.
Pour des questions de sécurité, il est prévu, notamment au décollage et à l’atterrissage de l’aéronef, de d’éloigner les galets de la came. Pour cela, le dispositif d’entraînement comprend des moyens de rappel élastique des pistons en position rentrée dans leurs cylindres respectifs pour éloigner lesdits pistons de la came. Les moyens de rappel élastique comprennent généralement des ressorts de traction attelés à des appendices des galets.For safety reasons, it is planned, in particular during take-off and landing of the aircraft, to move the rollers away from the cam. For this, the drive device comprises means for elastic return of the pistons to the retracted position in their respective cylinders to move said pistons away from the cam. The elastic return means generally comprise tension springs coupled to appendages of the rollers.
Toutefois, une défaillance du dispositif d’entraînement (perte ou casse d’un ressort, grippage d’un piston en position sortie, mise en pression intempestive d’un cylindre…) peut amener la came à venir taper sur l’un ou plusieurs des galets portés par des pistons défaillants, et donc générer des chocs et des frottements importants pouvant entraîner des casses en fonction de la vitesse de rotation de la roue. Une telle défaillance aurait des conséquences catastrophiques du point de vue de la sureté de fonctionnement, notamment au décollage.However, a failure of the drive device (loss or breakage of a spring, seizure of a piston in the extended position, untimely pressurization of a cylinder, etc.) may cause the cam to strike on one or more rollers carried by faulty pistons, and therefore generate significant shocks and friction which can cause breakage depending on the speed of rotation of the wheel. Such a failure would have catastrophic consequences from the point of view of operational safety, in particular on takeoff.
Pour s’assurer que l’ensemble des pistons du dispositif d’entraînement sont bien en position rentrée, il a été envisagé d’équiper chacun des cylindres d’un capteur de position du piston. Néanmoins, cela implique un nombre important de capteurs, ce qui amoindrit la fiabilité de la détection des pistons en position rentrée.To ensure that all the pistons of the drive device are indeed in the retracted position, it was envisaged to equip each of the cylinders with a piston position sensor. However, this involves a large number of sensors, which reduces the reliability of the detection of the pistons in the retracted position.
OBJET DE L’INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
L’invention a pour but de proposer une solution remédiant au moins en partie aux inconvénients précités.The object of the invention is to propose a solution which at least partially overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
A cet effet, on propose un dispositif d’entraînement en rotation d’une roue comprenant un moteur hydraulique à pistons radiaux. Le moteur comporte :To this end, a device for driving a wheel in rotation comprising a hydraulic motor with radial pistons is proposed. The engine includes:
- une came ondulée ;a wavy cam;
- un bloc-cylindres monté mobile en rotation par rapport à la came autour d’un axe et comprenant une pluralité de cylindres disposées radialement par rapport audit axe ;a cylinder block mounted rotatably relative to the cam around an axis and comprising a plurality of cylinders arranged radially relative to said axis;
- une pluralité de pistons montés coulissants dans les cylindres et destinés à venir dans une position sortie en appui sur la came sous l’effet d’un fluide sous pression ; eta plurality of pistons slidably mounted in the cylinders and intended to come into an extended position resting on the cam under the effect of a pressurized fluid; And
- des moyens de rappel élastique des pistons en position rentrée dans leurs cylindres respectifs.means for elastic return of the pistons to the retracted position in their respective cylinders.
Selon l’invention, le dispositif d’entraînement comprend en outre des moyens de verrouillage des pistons en position rentrée.According to the invention, the drive device further comprises means for locking the pistons in the retracted position.
De manière particulière, les moyens de blocage comprennent une cloche comportant un disque et une pluralité de fourches s’étendant en saillie axiale d’un pourtour externe dudit disque. La cloche est montée mobile en translation entre une position de verrouillage dans laquelle chacun des pistons a une face supérieure coopérant avec l’une des fourches, et une position de libération dans laquelle les fourches sont éloignées des pistons.In particular, the locking means comprise a bell comprising a disk and a plurality of forks extending axially from an outer periphery of said disk. The bell is mounted movable in translation between a locking position in which each of the pistons has an upper face cooperating with one of the forks, and a release position in which the forks are remote from the pistons.
De manière particulière, chacune des fourches comprend deux dents qui, lorsque la cloche est en position verrouillée, s’étendent de part et d’autre de l’un des galets portés par les pistons.In particular, each of the forks comprises two teeth which, when the bell is in the locked position, extend on either side of one of the rollers carried by the pistons.
L’invention concerne aussi une roue d’aéronef portée par un essieu et équipée d’un tel dispositif d’entraînement. La came et le bloc-cylindres sont respectivement liées en rotation à la roue et à l’essieu sur lequel est reçu à pivotement ladite roue.The invention also relates to an aircraft wheel carried by an axle and equipped with such a drive device. The cam and the cylinder block are respectively linked in rotation to the wheel and to the axle on which said wheel is pivotally received.
