[0040] Referring to the attached drawings, the present invention provides a multifunctional composite guide rail device for an aircraft cargo system, including a frame 1, a lateral restraining block 2, a first auxiliary guide rail 3, a restraining device 4, a second auxiliary guide rail 5, and a third auxiliary guide rail 6; as Figure 1 shown; the frame 1 is installed on the inner floor of the aircraft cargo hold. Except for the position near the cabin door, the frame 1 is arranged symmetrically about the aircraft central axis on the left and right, providing multiple loading positions for the container, as Figure 2 shown, enabling the loading and unloading of Type B, Type M, Type A, and Type K containers respectively from the cabin door; the frame 1 is not arranged at the position near the cabin door; the part of the floor except for the frame 1 is distributed with balls for the movement of the container; through the coordinated action of the above components, the rapid loading and reliable restraint of the container in the cabin are achieved.
[0041] The first auxiliary guide rail 3, the second auxiliary guide rail 5, and the third auxiliary guide rail 6 are symmetrically arranged on each pair of frames 1. They are installed in a movable manner and are mounted on the frame 1 through a rotating shaft and a torsion spring, and can maintain an upright state or rotate to a state flush with the frame 1. At the end of each pair of frames 1 close to the side wall of the aircraft, there are lateral limit blocks 2. The lateral limit blocks 2 on each pair of frames 1 are jointly used to load type B containers. The first auxiliary guide rail 3, the second auxiliary guide rail 5, and the third auxiliary guide rail 6 are arranged in sequence on each frame 1 in a direction away from the lateral limit block 2. Among them, a pair of first auxiliary guide rails 3 on each pair of frames 1 are used to load type M containers, a pair of second auxiliary guide rails 5 on each pair of frames 1 are used to load type A containers, and a pair of third auxiliary guide rails 6 on each pair of frames 1 are used to load type K containers;
[0042] When loading various types of containers, the protruding parts at both ends of the first auxiliary guide rail 3, the second auxiliary guide rail 5, and the third auxiliary guide rail 6 realize the guiding function for various types of containers. When the container moves, the auxiliary guide rails (the first auxiliary guide rail 3, the second auxiliary guide rail 5, and the third auxiliary guide rail 6) in front of the moving direction of the container automatically press the auxiliary guides against the frame 1 flush with their own gravity from the side inclined plane 11, ensuring that the container can pass smoothly; while the auxiliary guide rails on both sides of the container remain upright, and the limiting surfaces 10 on their inner sides provide guiding and limiting during the movement of the container;
[0043] All auxiliary guide rails can realize their functions of manual raising and lowering (upright state or state flush with the frame 1) through the limiting device 4. That is, in a manual manner, for the auxiliary guide rails that are not needed during the loading process, after pressing the auxiliary guide rail flush with the frame 1, pull out and rotate the handle 7 so that the pin 8 on the limiting device 4 protrudes, making the pin 8 lock the rotating shaft of the auxiliary guide rail and prevent it from rotating, thus realizing the locking of the auxiliary guide rail below the transmission plane, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown. After the loading and unloading are completed, pull out and rotate the handle 7 to retract the pin 8 into the interior of the frame 1, and the auxiliary guide rail rises above the transmission plane under the action of the torsion spring, as Figure 5 shown.
[0044] a) Frame 1
[0045] The frame 1 can be installed on the aircraft floor. Its main functions are: supporting and fixing the lateral limit block 2, the first auxiliary guide rail 3, the second auxiliary guide rail 5, the third auxiliary guide rail 6, etc.; transferring the load to the floor.
[0046] b) Lateral limit block 2
[0047] The lateral restraint block 2 can be installed at the position on the frame 1 closest to the corresponding position of the aircraft side wall. The lateral restraint block 2 is of a T-shaped structure or a 7-shaped structure, and the inner side surface of the lateral restraint block 2 is the restraint surface 9; its main functions are: for the Y-direction guidance and ±X-direction restraint of the type B container; for the +Z-direction restraint of the type B container. In this solution, the X direction is the length direction of the frame 1, the Y direction is the width direction of the frame 1, that is, the central axis direction of the aircraft, and the Z direction is the height direction of the frame 1; the positive and negative of the direction are defined according to actual needs.
[0048] c) The first auxiliary guide rail 3
[0049] The first auxiliary guide rail 3 is installed on the frame 1. When loading and unloading the type B container, the type B container automatically presses the first auxiliary guide rail 3 below the transmission plane along its inclined side surface 11 by its own gravity, ensuring that the type B container can pass smoothly.
[0050] As Figure 3 shown, the first auxiliary guide rail 3 includes a guiding block 31 and a mounting bracket 32; the frame 1 is of a concave structure, a rotating shaft is arranged inside the frame 1, and a torsion spring 33 is arranged on the rotating shaft. The guiding block is assembled on the frame 1 through the mounting bracket 32 and the torsion spring 33 and remains upright under the action of the torsion spring 33; a notch 101 is opened on one side of the frame 1 where the rotating shaft is located for accommodating the guiding block 31 when the first auxiliary guide rail 3 is retracted. A limiting surface 34 is arranged on the mounting bracket 32 for cooperating with the pin 8; when the first auxiliary guide rail 3 is pressed and retracted into the notch 101, the pin 8 is extended so that the pin 8 contacts the limiting surface 34 to limit the position of the first auxiliary guide rail 3; after the pin 8 is retracted, under the action of the torsion spring 33, the first auxiliary guide rail 3 becomes upright, and at this time the limiting surface 34 contacts the limiting boss inside the frame 1 and cannot continue to rotate and remains in a vertical state.
[0051] The said guiding block 31 includes a main body 311 and guide cones 312 symmetrically located at both ends of the main body. The end of the guide cone 312 is a tip. From the tip towards the middle of the main body, both the upper edge and the lower edge of the guide cone 312 are arc-shaped structures, and the arc-shaped structure of its upper edge is the inclined side surface 11; the width of the guiding block 31 is greater than the width of the frame 1, so that when the container moves in the Y direction, it can smoothly contact the upper edge of the guide cone 312, thereby pressing the auxiliary guide rail into the notch 101 and making it in a retracted state. The inner side surface of the main body 311 on the guiding block 31 constitutes a restraint surface 10 for the container, and a restraint piece 13 is arranged above the restraint surface 10 for performing Z-direction restraint on the container; that is, the restraint pieces 13 on the auxiliary guide rails that remain upright on both sides of the container can clamp the edge of the container, while the restraint surface 10 plays a role of guiding and limiting.
[0052] The structures of the second auxiliary guide rail 5 and the third auxiliary guide rail 6 are the same as those of the first auxiliary guide rail 3 and will not be elaborated here.
[0053] The main functions of the first auxiliary guide rail 3 are as follows:
[0054] It is used for Y-direction guiding and ±X-direction constraint of the M-type container; it is used for +Z-direction constraint of the M-type container.
[0055] d) Stop device 4
[0056] The stop device includes a handle 7, a pin 8 and a fixing block 12. Among them, the fixing block 12 is installed on the side of the frame 1. A through hole penetrating the fixing block and the frame 1 is provided on the fixing block 12 for assembling the pin 8, and the pin 8 is connected to the handle 7; the handle 7 and the through hole can be, for example, in a threaded fit; by pulling and rotating the handle 7, the pin 8 is driven backward, and the state where the pin 8 retracts into the interior of the fixing block 12 can be maintained.
[0057] All auxiliary guide rails can realize their manual lifting and lowering functions through the stop device 4. That is, when using the manual method, after pressing the auxiliary guide rail into the notch 101, rotate the handle 7 to make the pin 8 extend, and lock the auxiliary guide rail below the transfer plane by catching the mounting bracket 32 of the auxiliary guide rail; when the pin 8 is in the extended position:
[0058] The container at the hatch door can move along the ±Y direction; after loading and unloading, pull out and rotate the handle 7 to make the pin 8 retract into the frame, and the auxiliary guide rail rises above the transfer plane.
[0059] e) Second auxiliary guide rail 5
[0060] The second auxiliary guide rail 5 is installed on the frame 1. When loading and unloading the B-type and M-type containers, the B-type and M-type containers automatically press the second auxiliary guide rail 5 below the transfer plane along its side inclined plane by their own gravity, ensuring that the B-type and M-type containers can pass smoothly.
[0061] The main functions of the second auxiliary guide rail 5 are as follows:
[0062] It is used for Y-direction guiding and ±X-direction constraint of the A-type container; it is used for +Z-direction constraint of the A-type container.
[0063] f) Third auxiliary guide rail 6
[0064] The third auxiliary guide rail 6 is installed on the frame 1. When loading and unloading the B-type, M-type and A-type containers, the B-type, M-type and A-type containers automatically press the third auxiliary guide rail 6 below the transfer plane along its side inclined plane by their own gravity, ensuring that the B-type, M-type and A-type containers can pass smoothly.
[0065] The main functions of the third auxiliary guide rail 6 are as follows:
[0066] It is used for Y-direction guiding and ±X-direction constraint of the K-type container; it is used for +Z-direction constraint of the K-type container.
