Monitoring device for repair patches, repair kit, and method for monitoring a repair patch

摘要

A monitoring device for a repair patch that can be placed on or in a wall of an aircraft to repair a defect has a sensor device for detecting properties of the repair patch placed in the wall, an energy supply device for supplying energy at least to the sensor device, and a communication device so as to read out the sensor data. A repair kit that can be placed in or on a wall of an aircraft to repair defects comprises a repair patch for repairing a defect in or on a wall of an aircraft and also comprises a monitoring device. A method for monitoring a repair patch in or on a wall of an aircraft by means of a monitoring device comprises the steps of detecting a measurement phase on the basis of the amount of energy provided by the energy supply device, measuring load parameters in and/or on the repair patch during the measurement phase, and reading out the load parameters.

主权项

1. A monitoring device for a repair patch configured for placement on or in a wall of an aircraft to repair a defect, the monitoring device comprising:
a sensor that is disposed in contact with or adjacent to the repair patch, the sensor being configured to detect properties of the repair patch that is placed on or in the wall and provide sensor data; an energy supply device configured to supply energy at least to the sensor device; a communication device configured to read out the sensor data; and a data processing device configured to monitor the energy output of the energy supply device to identify a predetermined flight phase of the aircraft based on the energy output and to perform a measurement operation during which the data processing device records the sensor data during the predetermined flight phase.
