[0002] With the advancement of technology, aircraft are playing an increasingly important role in available transportation. The unique skin structure of aircraft results in their large size, heavy weight, and weak surface strength. Combined with the differences between various aircraft models, this significantly increases the difficulty of rescue operations, making ordinary lifting and hoisting equipment insufficient. Specialized hoisting equipment must be able to accommodate various aircraft types, placing high demands on the adjustability of the equipment, especially its longitudinal length adjustability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a combined adjustable sub-beam structure that can solve the above problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] A combined adjustable sub-beam structure includes a main sling, a main beam assembly, a sub-beam assembly, and a body sling. The main sling is fixed above both ends of the main beam assembly, the sub-beam assembly is suspended below both ends of the main beam assembly by the sub-sling, and the body sling is suspended below the sub-beam assembly.

[0006] Furthermore, the sub-beam assembly includes a sub-beam and a shackle. The upper end of the sub-beam is connected to the sub-sling via the shackle, and the lower end of the sub-beam is suspended from the machine body sling.

[0007] Furthermore, each sub-beam is suspended by a body sling, with the two ends of the body sling suspended at the two ends of the sub-beam respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the two sub-beams jointly suspend a set of body slings, with the two ends of the body slings suspended on the two sub-beams respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, each set of body slings includes several interconnected identical sling units, which are parallel to each other, with each sling unit suspended at both ends from two sub-beams.

[0010] Furthermore, the same number of secondary beams are suspended at both ends of the main beam assembly, and the machine body slings are correspondingly suspended between the secondary beams at both ends of the main beam assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the two adjacent sub-beams on one side of the main beam assembly are detachably connected by longitudinal hangers.

[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the longitudinal hanger are connected to the sub-beam by pins, and the shackle passes through the longitudinal hanger and the sub-beam. The upper part of the sub-beam is provided with a pin hole for passing through the pin and a shackle hole for passing through the shackle.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower part of the sub-beam is provided with several chain holes, through which chains pass, and the machine body slings are connected to the sub-beam by chains.

[0014] Furthermore, the shackle hole is located above the pin hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the chain is equipped with a self-adjusting chain length reducer, and both ends of the chain are connected to swivel buckles. One end of the chain is connected to the sub-beam through the swivel buckle, which passes through the chain hole. The other end of the chain is connected to the machine body sling through the swivel buckle.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the combined adjustable sub-beam structure of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: during aircraft emergency rescue, the longitudinal length of the required hoisting equipment can be adjusted according to the change of aircraft type. The adjustment can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of sub-beams and adjusting the number and position of the sub-beam positioning holes, thus enabling the rescue of various aircraft types.

[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a combined adjustable sub-beam structure includes a main sling 1, a main beam assembly 2, a sub-beam assembly, and a body sling 6. The main sling 1 is fixed above both ends of the main beam assembly 2, the sub-beam assembly is suspended below both ends of the main beam assembly 2 by the sub-sling 3, and the body sling 6 is suspended below the sub-beam assembly.

[0042] The sub-beam assembly includes a sub-beam 5, a longitudinal suspension rod 4, and a shackle 7. The upper end of the sub-beam 5 is connected to the sub-sling 3 via the shackle 7, and the lower end of the sub-beam 5 is suspended from the machine body sling 6.

[0043] Two secondary beams 5 are suspended at each end of the main beam assembly 2. The two secondary beams 5 on one side of the main beam assembly 2 are detachably connected by longitudinal hangers 4. Two sets of machine body slings 6 are suspended on the four secondary beams 5 of the two longitudinal hangers 4.

[0044] Each set of body slings 6 includes several (which can be 2 or 4, etc.) identical sling units 62 that are interconnected. The sling units 62 can be vertically connected to each other using connecting straps 61, such as... Figure 10As shown, the sling units 62 are parallel to each other, and each sling unit 62 is suspended from the sub-beam 5 at both ends.

[0045] The two ends of the longitudinal hanger 4 are connected to the sub-beam 5 by pins 8. The shackle 7 passes through the longitudinal hanger 4 and the sub-beam 5. The upper part of the sub-beam 5 is provided with a pin hole 10 for passing through the pin 8 and a shackle hole 9 for passing through the shackle 7.

[0046] The lower part of the sub-beam 5 is provided with several chain holes 11, through which chains 12 pass. The sling unit 62 is connected to the sub-beam 5 via chains 12. The shackle hole 9 is located above the pin hole 10.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figure 7-10 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, each end of the main beam assembly 2 is suspended by a secondary beam 5 via shackles 7, without secondary lifting straps 3. The two secondary beams 5 are jointly suspended by a set of body lifting straps 6.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] like Figure 11-12 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the sub-beam assembly in Embodiment 1 includes a sub-beam 5 and a shackle 7, but does not include the longitudinal hanger 4. There are only two sub-beams, and the two sub-beams 5 are respectively suspended from both ends of the main beam assembly 2. Each sub-beam 5 has a body sling 6 (single sling unit) suspended from its lower end, and the two ends of each body sling 6 are respectively suspended from the two ends of a single sub-beam 5. The upper end of the sub-beam 5 is suspended from the lower end of the main beam assembly 2 via the shackle 7.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] like Figure 13-15 As shown, unlike embodiments 1-3, a novel adjustable chain structure is used to replace the chain 12 in embodiments 1-3. Specifically, a chain retractor 13 is fixed in the middle of the original chain 12, and horn-shaped safety shackles 14 are connected to both ends of the chain 12. One end of the chain 12 is connected to the sub-beam 5 through the horn-shaped safety shackle 14, which passes through the chain hole 11. The other end of the chain 12 is connected to the machine body sling 6 through the horn-shaped safety shackle 14.

[0053] The adjusting chain 12 is integrally machined from steel components, resulting in high strength. Both ends of the chain 12 are connected to swivel buckles 14, simplifying the structure and facilitating assembly. The chain 12 is equipped with a self-adjusting chain length reducer 13, which connects to the chain 12 without requiring other connecting parts and can be locked at any position, achieving self-adjustment without the need for an additional chain, thus saving space. Figure 16-17As shown, the ideal cross-shaped groove opening on the chain retractor 13 ensures proper installation and support of the chain links without any reduction in load-bearing capacity. The chain retractor 13 is a German-made VMVK multi-functional chain retractor purchased from Luther. Adjusting the chain mainly involves fine-tuning the distance between the machine body sling 6 and the longitudinal lifting rod 4 (or sub-beam 5) to ensure that the sling is in close contact with the machine body, thus completing the hoisting operation.

[0054] In summary, during aircraft emergency rescue, the longitudinal length of the required hoisting equipment can be adjusted according to the aircraft type. This adjustment can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of sub-beams and adjusting the number and position of the sub-beam positioning holes, thus enabling the rescue of various aircraft types.

[0055] Under normal circumstances, the longitudinal suspension rod 4 is not required. Adjusting the body sling 6 and the sub-beam chain hole 11 is sufficient for the current model. When a wider model is developed, the longitudinal suspension rod 4 can be added to meet the requirements. The longitudinal suspension rod 4 is connected to the sub-beam 5 via a pin 8 and to the auxiliary sling 3 via a shackle 7. The shackle 7 is also connected to the longitudinal suspension rod 4 via a pin.

[0056] The longitudinal hanger 4 is welded from square tubing and steel plates, resulting in a simple, stable structure that is easy to install. The sub-beam 5 is machined from steel plates, providing structural stability and facilitating movement and disassembly. The shackle 7 has no connecting threads, allowing the pin 8 to pass through easily.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
