[0042] Optionally, the rear hook groove 402 is recessed at the top of the third body part 400, the rear hook seat 403 is installed in the rear hook groove 402, the rear hook extends into the rear hook groove 402 and moves along the X direction to be hooked with the rear hook seat 403, and the rear hook seat 403 limits the rear hook and the rear hook groove 402 from moving along the Z direction to be separated.

In addition, the first front hook 201 and the first rear hook 202 are arranged at the edges of the first body part 200 close to the second body part 300, and the second front hook 301 and the second rear hook 302 are arranged at the edges of the second body part 300 close to the first body part 200, so that when the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are assembled in position, the first front hook 201 and the first rear hook 202 can be respectively overlapped and aligned with the second front hook 301 and the second rear hook 302.
[0044] Optionally, the front hook and the rear hook can be distributed along the X direction. The first body part 200 and the second body part 300 can be parts of a wing, for example, the first body part 200 is an inner wing, and the second body part 300 is an outer wing. In this application, the X direction can be the heading direction, the Y direction can be the span direction, and the Z direction can be the vertical direction, which is the vertical direction when the aircraft is flying horizontally.
[0045] Referring to Figures 1 to 10 In an embodiment, the second body part 300 is provided with a pin 304, and the first body part 200 is provided with a pin hole 204 for the insertion and positioning of the pin 304. The first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are assembled in position along the Y direction, so that the first front hook 201 and the first rear hook 202 are respectively overlapped and aligned with the second front hook 301 and the second rear hook 302 along the Y direction.
[0046] The pin 304 and the pin hole 204 are used to realize the positioning and assembly of the second body part 300 and the first body part 200. While ensuring the structural strength and direct force transmission, the positioning and installation are simple, suitable for batch processing, easy to ensure precision, high interchangeability, convenient to install, simple structure, low cost, and light weight.
[0047] Optionally, the number and distribution position of the pin 304 and the pin hole 204 can be set according to requirements, and the pin 304 and the pin hole 204 can be one-to-one corresponding. Specifically, the axial direction of the pin 304 and the pin hole 204 can be parallel to the Y direction, and when the number of pins 304 is greater than or equal to 2, each pin 304 can be arranged along the X direction. When the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are installed in position, the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are moved along the axial direction of the pin 304 to make the opposite end faces of the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 contact, at this time, the first front hook 201 and the second front hook 301 are overlapped and aligned, and the first rear hook 202 and the second rear hook 302 are overlapped and aligned.
[0048] Optionally, the pin 304 can have a circular, rectangular, polygonal or other shape in cross section, and the pin hole 204 can have a shape matching that of the pin 304 so that the pin 304 can extend into the pin hole 204 and be in clearance fit with the pin hole 204.
[0049] Referring to Figures 1 to 10 In an embodiment, the rear end hook can have an L-shaped structure as a whole, and the front end hook can also have an L-shaped structure as a whole. A limiting portion 3011 is further arranged on the front end hook, and the limiting portion 3011 cooperates with the limiting portion 3011 when the locking assembly 102 moves to the locking position to limit the front end hook from disengaging from the locking assembly 102, thereby avoiding the front end hook moving reversely out of the avoiding space 1015 and causing the first machine component 200, the second machine component 300 and the third machine component 400 to disengage.
[0050] Optionally, the first front end hook 201 and the second front end hook 301 each have a limiting portion 3011 at the end extending into the avoiding space 1015.
[0051] Referring to Figures 1 to 10 In an embodiment, the first machine component 200 and the second machine component 300 are provided with a locking mechanism for locking the first machine component 200 and the second machine component 300. The locking mechanism makes the locking between the first machine component 200 and the second machine component 300 more reliable, and the locking mechanism and the locking device 100 cooperate to realize a multiple redundancy design, thereby making the connection between the first machine component 200 and the second machine component 300 more stable and reliable.
[0052] Optionally, the locking mechanism comprises a locking seat 203 and a locking buckle 303, the locking seat 203 is arranged on one of the first body part 200 and the second body part 300, and the locking buckle 303 is arranged on the other one of the first body part 200 and the second body part 300. Further, the top of the first body part 200 and the top of the second body part 300 are concavely provided with grooves, the locking seat 203 is installed in the groove on the first body part 200, and the locking buckle 303 is installed in the groove on the second body part 300. When the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are assembled in place, the locking buckle 303 is buckled with the locking seat 203 to achieve locking and fixing of the first body part 200 and the second body part 300. When it is needed to disassemble the first body part 200 and the second body part 300, the locking buckle 303 is flipped to make the locking buckle 303 disengage from the locking seat 203. The locking mechanism is arranged in the groove, avoiding the locking mechanism protruding from the upper surface of the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 when the aircraft is working, which is structurally neat and helps to reduce the flight resistance. The locking mechanism can adopt the locking mechanism that provides locking force by using the lever principle in the prior art, so as to eliminate the assembly gap when the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are connected and matched. The specific structure of the existing locking mechanism will not be described here.
[0053] Optionally, the number of locking mechanisms can be set according to needs, for example, it can be one group or two groups or more. When the aircraft is small, the locking mechanism can not be needed. When the aircraft is large, the locking mechanism can be set to improve the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the aircraft and improve the safety performance.
[0054] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 6 to 10 In an embodiment, the aircraft body quick release mechanism further comprises a first limiting structure, a second limiting structure and a third limiting structure, which are respectively used to eliminate the assembly gap of the first body part 200, the second body part 300 and the third body part 400 in the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction, so as to reduce the vibration, abnormal sound and wear and tear of each part caused by the gap during use. When the locking device 100 locks the front hook, the X direction gap, the Y direction gap and the Z direction gap between the first body part 200, the second body part 300 and the third body part 400 are respectively eliminated by the first limiting structure, the second limiting structure and the third limiting structure.
[0055] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 6 to 10In one embodiment, the first limiting structure includes a first limiting surface disposed on the first front end hook 201 and the second front end hook 301, a second limiting surface disposed on the locking device 100, a third limiting surface disposed on the first rear end hook 202 and the second rear end hook 302, and a fourth limiting surface disposed on the rear end hook groove 402. The first limiting surface and the second limiting surface can be tightly abutted to form a first surface contact 501, and the third limiting surface and the fourth limiting surface can be tightly abutted to form a second surface contact 502. The first surface contact 501 and the second surface contact 502 cooperate to eliminate the assembly gap of the first body component 200, the second body component 300, and the third body component 400 in the X direction. The first limiting surface, the second limiting surface, the third limiting surface, and the fourth limiting surface can be inclined surfaces. This structural design not only eliminates the gap in the X direction but also facilitates assembly guidance.
[0056] Optionally, the first limiting surface can be disposed on the side of the limiting part 3011 facing the locking block 1021, the second limiting surface can be disposed on the locking block 1021, and the fourth limiting surface is disposed on the rear hook seat 403. When the locking block 1021 moves downward to lock the front hook, the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface come into contact to form a first surface contact 501, which drives the first body component 200 and the second body component 300 to move relative to the third body component 400 in the X direction. That is, taking the third body component 400 as a reference, the first body component 200 and the second body component 300 move forward in the X direction, so that the third limiting surface and the fourth limiting surface come into closer contact to form a second surface contact 502. The cooperation of the first surface contact 501 and the second surface contact 502 can eliminate the assembly gap in the X direction.
[0057] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 6 to 10 In one embodiment, the second limiting structure includes a fifth limiting surface disposed on the rear hook and a sixth limiting surface disposed on the rear hook groove 402. The fifth and sixth limiting surfaces can be tightly fitted to form a third surface contact 503 and a fourth surface contact 504, thereby eliminating the assembly gap of the first body component 200, the second body component 300, and the third body component 400 along the Y-direction, that is, eliminating the assembly gap along the pin axis. The inclination of the fifth and sixth limiting surfaces are matched to ensure tight fit during assembly. The fifth limiting surface includes inclined surfaces disposed on the first rear hook 202 and the second rear hook 302, and the sixth limiting surface includes an inclined surface disposed on the groove wall of the rear hook groove 402. The groove width of the rear hook groove 402 gradually increases from the bottom to the opening. This structural design is beneficial for eliminating assembly gaps and for providing assembly guidance, thus reducing assembly difficulty.
[0058] Optionally, the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are parts of a wing, and the wing is subjected to an upward force F most of the time during flight. For example, when the first body part 200 is fixed, the second body part 300 is subjected to the upward force F, and the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are limited by the pin 304, so that the second body part 300 has a tendency to rotate upward along the Y direction around the center of the pin 304. In order to limit the rotation tendency of the second body part 300, the rear end hook groove 402 cooperated with the third body part 400 uses its own rigidity to limit the rotation tendency of the second body part 200, so as to achieve the locking purpose of the first body part 200 and the second body part 300. In order to eliminate a small number of unstable cases, the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are further locked by the locking mechanism, so that the force elimination is more direct and has a redundant design, and the stability of the overall structure is further improved.
[0059] Optionally, the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are parts of a wing, and the third body part 400 can be a vertical part. When the aircraft is in the take-off and landing stage, the third body part 400 will give the wing an upward lift F. The third body part 400 is in large area contact with the first body part 200 and the second body part 300, so that the force transmission is dispersed, and therefore it is more beneficial to large aircraft.
[0060] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 6 to 10 In an embodiment, the third limiting structure includes a seventh limiting surface arranged on the first body part 200 and the second body part 300, an eighth limiting surface arranged on the third body part 400, a ninth limiting surface arranged on the locking device, and a tenth limiting surface arranged on the front end hook. The seventh limiting surface is in close contact with the eighth limiting surface to form a fifth surface contact 505, and the ninth limiting surface is in close contact with the tenth limiting surface to form a sixth surface contact 506. The fifth surface contact 505 and the sixth surface contact 506 cooperate to eliminate the assembly gap of the first body part 200, the second body part 300, and the third body part 400 along the Z direction.
[0061] Optionally, the seventh limiting surface includes the lower surface of the first body part 200 and the lower surface of the second body part 300, the eighth limiting surface is the upper surface of the third body part 400, and the ninth limiting surface is the lower surface of the locking piece 1021. When the locking piece 1021 moves downward to lock the front end hook, the first body part 200 and the second body part 300 are moved together with the third body part 400 along the Z direction, that is, the vertical direction.
