Abstract
A structural unit for arrangement at a hydraulic fluid tank of a jet engine that is embodied with an outlet appliance for draining hydraulic fluid. When the structural unit is arranged at a hydraulic fluid tank, the outlet appliance has an outlet opening that is facing towards the hydraulic fluid tank. The structural unit is further embodied with at least one measuring appliance, by means of which a filling level of a hydraulic fluid that is present inside the hydraulic fluid tank can be determined when the structural unit is arranged at a hydraulic fluid tank. A fixture appliance is provided for fixedly attaching the structural unit at a hydraulic fluid tank.
Claims14
A structural unit for arrangement at a hydraulic fluid tank of a jet engine, comprising:
- an outlet appliance for draining hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid tank,
- wherein, when the structural unit is arranged at the hydraulic fluid tank, the outlet appliance includes an outlet opening facing towards the hydraulic fluid tank,
- a measuring appliance by which a filling level of a hydraulic fluid that is present inside the hydraulic fluid tank can be determined when the structural unit is arranged at the hydraulic fluid tank,
- the outlet appliance with the outlet opening being positioned corresponding to a maximum level of the hydraulic fluid tank as overflow protection for the hydraulic fluid tank, the measuring appliance being calibrated to the positioning of the outlet opening,
- a fixture appliance for fixedly attaching the structural unit at the hydraulic fluid tank;
- an intake appliance integral with the structural unit, via which hydraulic fluid can be supplied to the hydraulic fluid tank when the structural unit is arranged at the hydraulic fluid tank.
