Closure and locking detection system for turbojet thrust reverser
View Patent ↗The invention relates to thrust reversers comprising at least one mobile element ( 3 ), at least one locking device ( 7 ) comprising a hook ( 8 ) cooperating with a hookable part ( 6 ) in order to keep the mobile element ( 3 ) in the closed position, and a double detection system ( 10 ) detecting closure and locking comprising a sensor ( 15 ) for indicating, in particular by a signal, if the mobile element ( 3 ) is in the closed position and if the device ( 7 ) is in a locked position. According to the invention, the double detection system detecting closure and locking of a mobile element of a turbojet thrust reverser comprises a means ( 16 ) of detection of the hookable part ( 6 ) and of activation of a second means ( 17 ) of detection of the crooked end ( 13 ) of the hook ( 8 ).
1. A device for locking a mobile element of a thrust reverser, comprising:
a hook including a crooked end;
a hookable part which is mounted on the mobile element and cooperates with said hook; and
a double detection system which detects closure and locking of the mobile element comprising a sensor, a setting lever, and a floating part,
wherein the hook and the setting lever are hinged about a common axis and are independently rotatable,
wherein the setting lever includes a first arm which extends from the axis in a first direction and a second arm which extends from the axis in a second direction,
wherein the floating part is hingedly connected to an end portion of the first arm of the setting lever,
wherein the hookable part cooperates with the hook and contacts an end portion of the second arm of the setting lever when the mobile element is closed, and
wherein the crooked end of the hook contacts an end portion of the floating part when the mobile element is locked.
2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the floating part is connected to a mechanical actuation transmission, and the mechanical actuation transmission actuates the sensor when the mobile element is closed and locked.
3. A thrust reverser comprising at least one mobile element provided with a hookable part and at least one locking device as claimed in claim 1 .
4. A turbojet provided with a thrust reverser as claimed in claim 3 .
5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a first spring which returns the second arm of the setting lever towards the hookable part.
6. The device as claimed in claim 2 , comprising a second spring which returns the floating part and the mechanical actuation transmission away from the sensor.
