Abstract
An active locking system of a movable element for a thrust reverser of an aircraft nacelle includes an active locking device of the movable element, movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, an actuator of the locking device controlled by a command for actuating the locking device, a blocking device for blocking the locking device in the unlocked position, movable between a blocking position and an unblocking position, and a device for displacing the blocking device. The actuation command controls the closure of the movable element, and the device for displacing the blocking device displaces the blocking device in the unblocking position when the movable element is at a predetermined position.
Claims12
An active locking system of a movable element for a thrust reverser of an aircraft nacelle, the thrust reverser including a fixed structure and at least one movable element, the at least one movable element being mounted pivoting or translating between a direct jet position, which provides aerodynamic continuity of the aircraft nacelle, and a reverse jet position which opens at least one passage in the aircraft nacelle, the active locking system comprising:
- an active locking device of the movable element, movable between a locking position and an unlocking position;
- an actuator of the active locking device controlled by a command for actuating the active locking device;
- a blocking device for blocking the active locking device in the unlocking position, the blocking device movable between a blocking position and an unblocking position;
- and
- a device for displacing the blocking device,
- wherein the command controls operation of the movable element towards the direct jet position, and the device for displacing the blocking device is to displaces the blocking device into the unblocking position when the movable element is at a predetermined position.
