Publication number: 20230392566Abstract: An actuator release mechanism includes: a longitudinal sleeve movable along an axis between a lock and release positions; drive means for causing the longitudinal sleeve to move along the axis; and bias means to bias the longitudinal sleeve to the lock position. The drive means includes: a rotary solenoid having a first direction of rotation and a second direction of rotation; a toggle member having a toggle shaft connected to and rotatable with the rotary solenoid, and a toggle head in engagement with the longitudinal sleeve by pins extending radially inwards from the longitudinal sleeve and a helical guide rail provided on a radially outer surface of the toggle head. The longitudinal sleeve is mounted around the toggle head, such that rotation of the solenoid causes rotation of the toggle member and the guide rails which causes the pin(s) to ride along the guide rail to rotate the sleeve.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Przemyslaw KIELCZYKOWSKI, Marek WIT

Patent number: 11732819Abstract: A servo valve includes: a fluid transfer valve assembly comprising a supply port and a control port (PA, PB); a moveable valve spool arranged to regulate flow of fluid from the supply port to the control port in response to a control signal; and a drive means configured to axially move the valve spool relative to the fluid transfer assembly in response to the control signal to regulate the fluid flow. The drive means comprises an elongate member arranged to rotate in response to the control signal. The elongate member has a cam profile in the fluid flow path such as to vary the pressure acting on the ends of the spool as the cam profile rotates.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATIONInventors: Zbigniew JaĆkiewicz, Przemyslaw Kielczykowski

Publication number: 20200369404Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a linkage assembly having a first link (6a) and a second link (6b) joined at a pivot point (110). The assembly also includes a linkage assembly spring to bias the linkage assembly into a first, locked, position and a rotational rod (1) having a cam (120) formed thereon with a cam surface in engagement with the linkage assembly in the region of the pivot point (110). The assembly also includes a solenoid assembly (3) arranged, in a first mode, to rotate the rotational rod (1) such that the cam acts as a stop against the linkage assembly at the pivot point in a locked position, and, in a second mode to rotate the rotational rod such that the cam surface presses against the linkage assembly sufficiently to overcome the linkage assembly spring and to force the linkage assembly into a second, unlocked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2019Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventors: Piotr Sobolak, Przemyslaw Kielczykowski

Publication number: 20200166146Abstract: A check valve comprises an annular housing defining a generally circular opening. A plurality of radially extending arms extend across the circular opening from the centre of the valve housing to respective nodes at the periphery of the valve housing. A plurality of cross arms extend between circumferentially adjacent nodes, thereby dividing the circular opening into a plurality of primary, generally triangular radially inner openings and a plurality of secondary, generally segment shaped radially outer openings. A plurality of primary, generally triangular flapper elements close the primary openings and a plurality of secondary, generally segment shaped flapper elements close the secondary openings. Respective mounting posts are arranged at a respective node and a respective hinge pin is mounted between respective circumferentially adjacent mounting posts.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Przemyslaw KIELCZYKOWSKI, Zbigniew JASKIEWICZ
