Abstract:
As all-electric aircraft has many advantages, an aircraft nose wheel steering system would be developed to the all-electric direction. Concerning the control demand of the nose wheel steering system, based on the basic principles of nose wheel steering system and the design technique of mechanotronics, an all-electric aircraft nose wheel steering system, composed of a nose wheel steering mechanism of two worm gear and a control servo system of fly-by-wire with both steering and anti-shimmy functions is designed to meet the demand for operation control in the nose wheel steering system. Then, based on the LMS-AMESim software, the simulation model of the system is established to simulate the dynamics for the verification of its steering function. The simulation results indicate that the nose wheel steering system is reasonable, and can meet the requirements of the general project. Furthermore, the prototypes of the steering mechanism and control system are studied to validate the design, and the steering test bench is prepared to test the designed system. The test results, such as steer angle, rotate speed of motor are analyzed in details and compared with the theoretical results. The analysis and comparison results show that the design is reasonable and the property of the prototype can achieve the design objectives.
