[0002] Aircraft skin assemblies are generally assembled by riveting skin parts and long-honed parts. In order to ensure the relative assembly position of the long-honed parts and the skin parts, positioning riveting is required through mutually positioned assembly holes. Affected by the curved surface shape of the aircraft skin, the riveted surface of the long-honed parts has curved surface features, and thus the assembly holes need to be set on the curved surface of the long-honed parts. According to the traditional method, the assembly holes are first drilled on the planar parts using a flat drilling template, and then the curved surface of the parts is formed. Due to the flow of material during the curved surface forming process, the position of the assembly holes is offset and cannot meet the mutual assembly positioning requirements. If a drilling mold is used to make assembly holes, due to the large number of part types, the number of drilling molds is large, the cost is high, and the manufacturing cycle is long, which is not suitable for the development needs of the enterprise. Now there is a need for a combination tool with a simple structure, accurate positioning, and easy use to drill assembly holes on the curved surface. Summary of the Invention
