Technical Field

The landing gear system of the unmanned aerial vehicle is used as an important functional system of the aircraft, has important influence on the taking-off and landing safety, and the parts needing to be actuated in the system comprise landing gear and cabin doors, limiting locks, front wheel turning mechanisms, wheel braking devices and the like. The large unmanned aerial vehicle actuating energy with a hydraulic system mostly adopts an airplane centralized hydraulic source as a driving energy, and long hydraulic pipelines are used for connecting hydraulic components and hydraulic actuators with various functions to finally drive all parts to act. However, because the hydraulic accessories have leakage and pipeline along pressure loss during operation, and the movement speed is regulated by using a throttle valve during landing gear actuation, a large amount of energy is consumed in the forms of leakage, pipeline loss and throttle heating, the energy utilization rate of hydraulic actuation is low, and meanwhile, if the unmanned aerial vehicle is faced with an unmanned aerial vehicle without a concentrated hydraulic source, the airplane cannot realize the functions of the unmanned aerial vehicle by using the existing mature and reliable hydraulic actuators, hydraulic brakes and other hydraulic elements, but the full-electric unmanned aerial vehicle without the hydraulic source can avoid the adverse factors although adopting a multi-electric technology, the current electric brake technology is still immature when being applied to the landing gear of the domestic large unmanned aerial vehicle, and the electric actuators cannot realize emergency functions which must be considered during the design of the airplane such as emergency release.
