The invention belongs to a helicopter
assembly technology, and relates to a coaxiality installation and calibration method for a folding transmission shaft of a helicopter. A folding shaft is limited through a folding
shaft length adjusting tool, a spring in the folding shaft is compressed through thread tightening, the length of the folding shaft is further shortened, the length of the folding shaft is made to be smaller than the assembling distance between the two sides, after the folding shaft is smoothly installed, the adjusting tool is gradually loosened, the spring is gradually loosened, the concave-convex fluted disc ends are meshed, and one end of a
flange plate is in
butt joint and fastened. After the folding shaft is mounted, a group of
laser emission receivers are mounted at the two ends of the folding shaft through a bracket; through a disc
paddle, the two
laser emission receivers receive motion tracks of the two
laser beams, actually-measured axes at the two ends of the folding shaft are simulated, the angle and position deviation of the two axes are calculated, and a model is generated; and calculating the thickness of an adjusting
gasket below a folding shaft connecting end product according to fitting of the deviation model and a theoretical axis, and completing installation of the folding shaft according to a final state. After the folding shaft is installed, the acting force of the spring is released in the shaft
system, and coaxiality calibration is carried out. The influence of the internal
spring force on the axis
calibration result after the folding shaft is installed in a traditional pre-calibration mode is avoided, and the calibration accuracy and the
assembly efficiency are remarkably improved.
