[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an aircraft wing panel forming equipment with a reinforcing rib structure includes a wing panel body 1. The wing panel body 1 is provided with a snap-fit connector 2 and a screw fastener 3. The wing panel body 1 has a panel positioning part 4 and an installation alignment part 5 inside. The panel positioning part 4 and the installation alignment part 5 are staggered. The bottom of the wing panel body 1 is provided with a figure-eight reinforcing rib assembly 6. The panel positioning part 4 and the installation alignment part 5 are staggered with the figure-eight reinforcing rib assembly 6.
[0026] In this embodiment, the snap-fit connector 2 and the screw fastener 3 are distributed on the side of the wing panel body 1 for connection with other aircraft components; the panel positioning part 4 and the mounting alignment part 5 are inside the wing panel body 1, and they are staggered to ensure the orderly installation and positioning of internal components; the figure-eight reinforcing rib assembly 6 is located at the bottom of the wing panel body 1, and is also staggered with the internal panel positioning part 4 and mounting alignment part 5, without interfering with each other, while providing support and reinforcement for the wing panel body 1. The snap-fit connector 2 and the screw fastener 3 provide diverse ways to connect the wing panel body 1 with other components, facilitating installation and disassembly; the staggered arrangement of the panel positioning part 4 and the mounting alignment part 5 facilitates the precise installation and positioning of internal components; the staggered arrangement of the figure-eight reinforcing rib assembly 6 and them ensures the effectiveness of the reinforcing structure and provides space for the internal structural layout, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency and structural stability of the wing panel.

[0028] Specifically, the first reinforcing rib 7 and the second reinforcing rib 8 are closely attached to the bottom of the wing panel body 1 in a figure-eight shape. The two work together to provide support for the wing panel body 1 from different directions. The unique figure-eight layout allows the reinforcing rib assembly to distribute the load borne by the wing panel body 1 in multiple directions, effectively enhancing its bending and compressive strength, and improving the overall strength and stability of the wing panel. Compared with a single reinforcing rib structure, it can better adapt to complex aerodynamic loads.
[0029] The top of the first reinforcing rib 7 is attached to the bottom of the wing panel body 1, and the bottom of the first reinforcing rib 7 is provided with a first bending web 9, which is perpendicular to the first reinforcing rib 7.

This T-shaped structure greatly improves the bending stiffness of the wing panel body 1. The first bending web 9 can effectively resist bending deformation, evenly distribute the force to a larger area, reduce local stress concentration, and extend the service life of the wing panel.
[0031] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a wiring installation space is formed between the first bending web 9 and the first reinforcing rib 7.
[0032] In this embodiment, due to the perpendicular relationship between the first bending web plate 9 and the first reinforcing rib plate 7, a space is naturally formed for wiring, saving space. This wiring installation space provides a dedicated area for the internal wiring of the aircraft, avoiding interference between the wiring and other structural components, making the internal structure of the aircraft more compact and orderly, and also facilitating the maintenance and repair of the wiring, thus improving the overall reliability and maintainability of the aircraft.
[0033] The top of the second reinforcing rib 8 is attached to the bottom of the wing panel body 1, and the bottom of the second reinforcing rib 8 is provided with a second bending web 10, which is perpendicular to the second reinforcing rib 8.
[0034] In this embodiment, in conjunction with the first reinforcing rib 7, the top of the second reinforcing rib 8 is attached to the bottom of the wing panel body 1 to transfer loads; the second bending web 10 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the second reinforcing rib 8 to form a T-shaped structure. The T-shaped structure composed of the second reinforcing rib 8 and the second bending web 10 further enhances the strength and rigidity of the wing panel body 1, and works in synergy with the first reinforcing rib 7 and the first bending web 9 to comprehensively improve the wing panel's ability to resist various loads, ensuring the safety and stability of the aircraft during flight.
[0035] Combination Figure 4 As shown, a wiring installation space is formed between the second bending web 10 and the second reinforcing rib 8.
[0036] In this embodiment, the space is formed by the vertical structure of the second bending web 10 and the second reinforcing rib 8, which provides additional space for the internal wiring of the aircraft, further optimizes the internal wiring layout, improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the aircraft, and also ensures the safety and stability of the wiring.
[0037] The snap-fit connector 2 includes a snap-fit plate 11 disposed on the side of the wing panel body 1.
[0038] In this embodiment, the snap-on plate 11 is installed on the side of the wing panel body 1 and cooperates with the corresponding slots or snaps on other components to achieve quick connection. The snap-on plate 11 makes the connection between the wing panel body 1 and other components more convenient and faster, greatly improving the efficiency of aircraft assembly. When it is necessary to repair or replace parts, it can also be easily disassembled, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0039] Combination Figure 1-2 As shown, the screw fastener 3 includes a screw plate 12 disposed on the side of the wing panel body 1, and the screw plate 12 has a screw hole 13.
[0040] In this embodiment, the screw plate 12 is located on the side of the wing panel body 1. By screwing bolts or other connectors into the screw holes 13, it is fixedly connected to the corresponding screw holes or threaded structures on other components. The screw fixing method provides a stable and reliable connection, ensuring that the wing panel body 1 is tightly integrated with other components during flight, can withstand large loads, and ensure the integrity and safety of the aircraft structure.
[0041] Combination Figure 1-2 As shown, the wall panel positioning part 4 includes a plurality of positioning square holes 14 disposed in the wing wall panel body 1.
[0042] In this embodiment, during the assembly process, the positioning square hole 14 cooperates with positioning components such as positioning pins to accurately determine the position of the wing panel body 1. The setting of the positioning square hole 14 ensures the accuracy and precision of the wing panel body 1 during installation, enabling the wing panel to be accurately installed in the predetermined position, ensuring the overall assembly quality of the aircraft wing, and thus ensuring the aerodynamic performance and flight safety of the aircraft.
[0043] Combination Figure 1-2 As shown, the mounting alignment part 5 includes an accessory mounting groove 15 disposed in the wing panel body 1, and the accessory mounting groove 15 is staggered with the positioning square hole 14.
[0044] In this embodiment, the accessory mounting slot 15 is used to place various accessories. It is staggered with the positioning square hole 14 and does not affect each other.
