Braking system architecture for an aircraft fitted with electromechanical brakes
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a braking system architecture for an aircraft fitted with electromechanical brakes including at least one electromechanical actuator. In accordance with the invention, the architecture comprises at least one proximity unit disposed in the proximity of the brakes at the bottom of the undercarriage and including input/output means for collecting and calibrating at least signals coming from sensors associated with the brakes, and for transmitting the signals as processed in this way to control members for controlling the actuators by means of a communications bus running along the undercarriage, the proximity unit further including control means for controlling the blocking members of the actuators.
1. A braking system architecture for an aircraft having an undercarriage and being fitted with electromechanical brakes including at least one electromechanical actuator, wherein the architecture comprises:
at least one proximity unit disposed in the proximity of the brakes at a bottom of the undercarriage,
the proximity unit including input/output means for collecting and calibrating at least signals coming from sensors associated with the brakes, and for transmitting the signals as processed in this way to control members for controlling the actuators by means of a communications bus running along the undercarriage,
the proximity unit further including control means for controlling the blocking members of the actuators and the proximity unit being disposed between the control means and an actuator.
2. A braking system architecture according to claim 1 , wherein each brake has four actuators, two proximity units being carried by each of the brakes so that each of them is connected to two of the actuators of the brake.
