Through the setting of the lifting structure 2, the rotation of the rotating motor four 26 can drive the ball screw one 24 connected thereto to rotate. The rotation of the ball screw one 24 makes the ball nut one threadedly connected thereto move in the direction of the ball screw one 24. When the ball nut one moves, it drives the lifting rod 25 fixedly connected thereto to move. The lifting rod 25 drives the lifting plate 27 or the connecting plate 23 fixedly connected thereto to move, thereby realizing the change of the height of the refueling platform 3. When the present application is actually used, the rotating motor four 26 in the lifting structure 2 can work synchronously to improve the lifting efficiency of the refueling platform.

[0027] The top of the refueling platform 3 away from the lifting structure 2 is provided with a lifting structure, a limit frame 6 and a guide roller 7 adapted to the aircraft oil pipeline.

Through the setting of the T-shaped rod 11, the handle 18 can be limited to prevent the handle 18 from being separated from the fixed rod 16, and after the handle 18 is separated from the slot, the handle 18 can be rotated to prevent the handle 18 from restricting the rotating rod 17, thereby facilitating the rotation of the rotating rod 17.

[0029] The other end of the rotating rod 17 is movably connected to the roller 25, and the other end of the rotating rod 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating motor 21.

The rotation direction of the roller 19 is opposite to that of the roller 25. The coordinated use of the roller 19 and the roller 25 can lift the aircraft oil pipeline, so as to facilitate the connection of the aircraft oil pipeline with the aircraft refueling port.

[0030] A lifting structure is placed on the refueling platform 3. Through the arrangement of the guide rollers 7, the guide rollers 7 can reduce the friction between the aircraft oil pipeline and the refueling platform 3, making it easier to lift and move the aircraft oil pipeline.

[0031] The lifting structure includes a moving frame 13, the top of the moving frame 13 is fixedly connected to a rotating motor 3 14, the top of the moving frame 13 is movably connected to a ball screw 2 15, the end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 3 14 is fixedly connected to the ball screw 2 15 through a reducer, the rotation of the rotating motor 3 14 can drive the ball screw 2 15 connected thereto to rotate, the outer ring of the ball screw 2 15 is threadedly connected to a ball nut 2, the outer ring of the ball nut 2 is fixedly connected to a lifting rod 8, the top of the lifting rod 8 is movably connected to a guide rod 28, the top of the guide rod 28 is fixedly connected to a lifting frame 9 adapted to the aircraft oil pipeline, the bottom of the lifting frame 9 is fixedly connected to a spring 12, and the other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 8.

[0032] It can be known from the above description that when the rotating motor three 14 rotates, the ball nut two can move in the direction of the ball screw two 15, and the ball nut two drives the lifting rod 8 fixedly connected thereto to move, and the lifting rod 8 drives the lifting frame 9 to move, so that the height of the lifting frame 9 can be changed. When the refueling ladder assembly is in use, the refueling connector of the aircraft oil pipeline is supported and limited by the lifting frame 9, and the staff can connect the refueling connector of the aircraft oil pipeline with the aircraft refueling port by controlling the moving position and moving height of the lifting frame 9. In this process, the staff does not need to lift the aircraft oil pipeline all the time, which reduces the burden on the staff, and during the refueling process, the lifting structure can support the aircraft oil pipeline, reducing the influence of the gravity of the oil pipeline itself on the connection between the oil pipeline and the aircraft refueling port.

[0033] A wireless remote control switch 10 is provided on one side of the lifting frame 9, and the staff can use the wireless remote control switch 10 to control the operation of the electrical components in the refueling ladder assembly.

[0034] An isolation pad is fixed to the inner wall of the lifting frame 9. The isolation pad can be made of rubber. Through the setting of the isolation pad, the position of the oil pipeline in the lifting frame 9 can be fine-tuned, which is convenient for connecting the oil pipeline to the aircraft refueling port.

[0035] The electrical components involved in this application are all prior art, and technicians in this field are familiar with their connection methods. Through these technicians, all the electrical components in this application are connected to their compatible power supplies through wires, and according to actual conditions, a suitable controller is selected to meet the control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence are described below. The electrical connection is completed in a sequential working order, and the detailed connection means are well known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and no further explanation of the electrical control is given.

[0036] To sum up: when the refueling ladder assembly of the heavy aircraft is in use, the staff first pulls the clamping handle 18 outward until the clamping handle 18 is separated from the clamping slot, rotates the clamping handle 18 until the clamping handle 18 does not restrict the rotating rod 17, and the staff rotates the rotating rod 17 to move the roller 2 5 away from the limiting frame 6 until the roller 2 5 does not restrict the aircraft oil pipeline. The staff moves the aircraft oil pipeline into the inner cavity of the limiting frame 6, and the refueling joint of the aircraft oil pipeline is supported by the limiting frame 6. The staff rotates the rotating rod 17 in the opposite direction to reset the rotating rod 17, and uses the clamping handle 18 to fix the rotating rod 17 and the fixed rod 16 together. At this time, the roller 1 19 and the roller 2 5 are tightly fitted with the aircraft oil pipeline. When the refueling ladder assembly moves, the refueling ladder assembly drives the aircraft oil pipeline to move. When the refueling ladder assembly moves to the bottom of the refueling port of the heavy aircraft to be refueled, the staff stands on the refueling platform and controls the lifting structure 2 to work. The lifting structure 2 drives the refueling platform 3 to rise. During the rising process of the refueling platform 3, the staff controls the lifting structure to work. The coordinated use of roller one 19 and roller two 5 can lift the oil pipeline. The staff moves the refueling joint of the oil pipeline, puts the refueling joint on the lifting frame 9, and then starts the rotating motor three 14 and adjusts the position of the moving frame 13, so that the refueling joint moves under the refueling port of the heavy aircraft until the refueling joint is close to the refueling port. The staff connects the refueling joint and the aircraft refueling port. In the process of the staff connecting the refueling joint and the aircraft refueling port, the rebound force of the spring 12 applies an upward thrust to the refueling joint, which makes the staff more labor-saving. In addition, during the refueling process, the lifting structure can support the aircraft oil pipeline to reduce the influence of the gravity of the oil pipeline itself on the connection between the oil pipeline and the aircraft refueling port.

[0037] The standard parts used in the utility model can be purchased from the market, and the special-shaped parts can be customized according to the description in the specification and the drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt the conventional means such as mature bolts, rivets, welding, etc. in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment all adopt the conventional models in the prior art and will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field. Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by ordinary technicians in this field that various changes, modifications, substitutions and modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
