Door-closing system for a thrust reverser of an aircraft nacelle
11767807 · 2023-09-26 · ·

A closing system that includes a closing actuator for doors of a thrust reverser, two sliding members, and a detection device. The closing actuator includes two first connecting rods. Each first connecting rod is configured to be connected to a first lateral edge of each door. The closing actuator is arranged to move each door at least towards the direct jet position. Each sliding member carries a second connecting rod configured to be connected to a second lateral edge of each door. The second connecting rods are arranged to be driven by the doors when the closing actuator moves the doors towards the direct jet position so as to displace the two sliding members. The detection device detects a defect of one of the first and second connecting rods. The detection device is configured to detect the relative position of the two sliding members in the direct jet position.
