View Patent ↗A system for opening and closing the flap of a casing for the landing gear of an aircraft includes a mechanical connection between the landing gear and the flap. The connection includes a first connecting rod which is fixed to the landing gear, and a second connecting rod which is fixed to the flap, the first and second connecting rods being connected by an articulation mechanism.
1. A system for opening and closing a door of a landing gear well of an aircraft, comprising mechanical coupling means coupling a landing gear and the door, these coupling means comprising a first connecting rod attached via a first end to the landing gear and a second connecting rod attached via a first end to the door,
wherein the second end of the first connecting rod and the second end of the second connecting rod are connected to one another by a bell crank equipped with a reaction fitting movably mounted to the bell crank and fixedly mounted to the landing gear well.
2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bell crank is attached to a wall of the landing gear well.
3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bell crank is attached to a roof of the landing gear well by the reaction fitting.
4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second connecting rod is attached approximately at a center of gravity of the door.
5. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first connecting rod is attached to a pivot pin of the landing gear.
6. The system as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a door return means.
7. The system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second connecting rod is a sprung connecting rod which acts as the door return means.
