[0028] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 3 This application is described in further detail.

[0029] An aircraft engine air intake casing inner support plate structure, comprising:

[0030] Support plate 1 is a thin-walled cavity structure;

[0031] The elastic sheet 2 has its two ends bent toward each other, forming a V-shape as a whole, forming two elastic arms; the elastic sheet 2 is arranged in the cavity of the support plate 1, and the outer side of each elastic arm relies on the elastic force of the elastic sheet 2 to rest against the side wall of one side of the cavity of the support plate 1.

[0032] As for the support plate structure in the air intake casing of the aircraft engine disclosed in the above embodiment, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that an elastic sheet 2 is provided in the cavity of the support plate 1, and the two ends of the elastic sheet 2 are bent toward each other, forming a V-shape as a whole, forming two elastic arms. The outer side of each elastic arm is pressed against the side wall of one side of the cavity of the support plate 1 by the elastic force of the elastic sheet 2. When the aircraft engine is working and the support plate 1 is subjected to severe aerodynamic loads, the vibration response amplitude of the support plate 1 can be reduced through joint surface damping and Coulomb friction damping, thereby reducing the vibration stress borne by the support plate 1, reducing the vibration of the support plate 1, and avoiding cracks and breakage on the support plate 1.

[0033] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned support plate structure in the air intake casing of the aircraft engine, each elastic arm is cycloid-shaped and has a locally outward protruding portion. The protruding portion can rely on the elastic force of the elastic sheet 2 to remain against the side wall on the corresponding side of the cavity of the support plate 1. Even when it is worn, it can still effectively rest against the side wall on the corresponding side of the cavity of the support plate 1. Therefore, when the aircraft engine is working and the support plate 1 is subjected to severe aerodynamic loads, the vibration reduction effect of the support plate 1 can be ensured through the joint surface damping and Coulomb friction damping, thereby avoiding cracks and breakage on the support plate 1.

[0034] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned support plate structure inside the air intake casing of the aircraft engine, both ends of the elastic sheet 2 have straight sections, and the two straight sections are pressed against each other so that the elastic sheet 2 maintains sufficient elasticity, so that the two elastic arms can effectively remain pressed against the side walls on the corresponding sides of the cavity of the support plate 1, thereby ensuring the vibration reduction effect on the support plate 1.

[0035] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned support plate structure in the air intake casing of the aircraft engine, the distance between the side walls on both sides of the cavity of the support plate 1 gradually increases from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the support plate 1;

[0036] The two ends of the elastic sheet 2 are facing the front edge of the support plate 1. Constrained by the space size between the side walls of the cavity of the support plate 1, the bent part of the elastic sheet 2 naturally rests against the part of the cavity of the support plate 1 close to the rear edge of the support plate 1, so that the entire elastic sheet 2 leans against the rear edge of the support plate 1, that is, against the part of the support plate that is subjected to greater vibration stress, thereby ensuring the vibration reduction effect on the support plate 1.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned support plate structure in the air intake casing of the aircraft engine, a gap is left between the elastic sheet 2 and the portion of the support plate 1 cavity near the front edge of the support plate 1. On the one hand, it is convenient to assemble the elastic sheet 2 into the cavity of the support plate 1. On the other hand, it allows the elastic sheet 2 to have a certain amount of movement margin in the cavity of the support plate 1, thereby ensuring the vibration reduction effect on the support plate 1 when the aircraft engine is working.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned support plate structure within the air intake casing of the aircraft engine, a plurality of vibration-damping holes are provided on the elastic sheet 2. On the one hand, the weight of the elastic sheet 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing the mass of the support plate 1 and the aircraft engine as a whole. On the other hand, the stiffness of the elastic sheet 2 can be reduced, and the deformation capacity of the elastic sheet 2 can be enhanced, thereby ensuring the vibration-damping effect on the support plate 1.

[0039] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to in detail.

[0040] So far, the technical solution of the present application has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or replacements will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
