Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of civil aviation, in particular to a connecting structure and a transport loading device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of society, airplanes have entered the daily life of more and more people as a fast means of transportation. The airplane transport loading device is a special device for the personnel to get on and off the airplane. At present, the commonly used airplane transport loading device mainly adopts the form of a step. However, for patients, sickbeds and the like to get on and off the airplane, manual carrying or dispatching of a special airplane transport loading device is required.

[0003] The existing transport loading device generally comprises a driving system, a lifting platform assembly, a guide rail assembly and a connecting structure. The lifting platform assembly is used to carry and transport patients, sickbeds and the like to get on and off the airplane. The transport platform assembly is slidingly arranged on the guide rail assembly and can be lifted along the guide rail assembly under the driving of the driving system. In specific use, one end of the guide rail assembly is placed on a target plane (for example, the ground), and the other end is connected to a target position (for example, the vicinity of the door frame of the boarding door). After the use of the above transport loading device is completed, it needs to be stored in the airplane.

[0004] However, firstly, the existing connecting structure is detachably fixed on the guide rail assembly, which increases the storage size of the transport loading device. Moreover, each time the connecting structure needs to be assembled and connected with the guide rail assembly and the boarding door frame before use, and needs to be detached from the guide rail assembly and the boarding door frame for storage after use, which leads to a relatively complex process of using the transport loading device, poor convenience and low efficiency. Secondly, the existing lifting platform is a fixed structure. When the lifting platform is lifted to the cabin opening, the whole lifting platform is located outside the cabin, which is inconvenient and time-consuming and laborious to transfer into the cabin. Thirdly, the existing transport loading device has a large overall size, which needs to be assembled on site before use, leading to a large storage space requirement and a relatively complex assembly process.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to design a new connecting structure and an airplane transport loading device to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0070] The present application provides a connecting structure and a transportation loading device, which are described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. In the following embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis, and the parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to the related description of other embodiments.

[0071] Referring to Figures 1-4 The connecting structure provided by the present application is used to connect the guide rail assembly 1 in the transportation loading device to the target position (for example, the boarding door frame 100, see Figure 10The connecting structure 2 comprises a door frame connecting piece 21, a guide rail connecting piece 22, a lock tongue 23 and a driving piece 24. The door frame connecting piece 21 is installed on the target position. The guide rail connecting piece 22 comprises a rotating end 221 and a free end 222 oppositely arranged. The rotating end 221 is rotatably connected to the top end of the guide rail assembly 1, so that the guide rail connecting piece 22 rotates between the unfolded position and the folded position. The lock tongue 23 is movably arranged on the free end 222. The driving piece 24 is connected to the lock tongue 23, so as to drive the lock tongue 23 to extend or retract from the free end 222. When the guide rail connecting piece 22 is located at the unfolded position and the lock tongue 23 extends from the free end 222, the lock tongue 23 is clamped or embedded on the door frame connecting piece 21. When the lock tongue 23 retracts from the free end 222, the guide rail connecting piece 22 is rotated in the first direction to the folded position, so that the guide rail connecting piece 22 is stacked in the guide rail assembly 1.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the connecting structure provided by the application only needs to rotate the guide rail connecting piece 22 and the driving piece 24, so that the guide rail connecting piece 22 is located at the unfolded position (i.e. perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rail assembly 1) and the lock tongue 23 extends from the free end 222. The lock tongue 23 is clamped or embedded on the door frame connecting piece 21, which ensures that the reliability of the connection between the connecting structure and the target position is high. After the transportation and loading device is used, the lock tongue 23 is retracted from the free end 222 by rotating the driving piece 24, so that the lock tongue 23 is separated from the door frame connecting piece 21. Then, the guide rail connecting piece 22 is rotated in the first direction (i.e. counterclockwise in the figure) to the folded position, so that the connecting structure (except the door frame connecting piece 21) is stacked in the guide rail assembly 1. Therefore, the connecting structure provided by the application does not need to be frequently disassembled from the guide rail assembly 1 and the target position during use. The use of the connecting structure provided by the application is simple and convenient, and the connecting structure can be directly stacked in the guide rail assembly 1, which ensures that the connecting structure is conveniently stored and does not affect the storage size of the transportation and loading device. Figure 3

[0073] In order to ensure the connection reliability between the lock tongue 23 and the door frame connecting piece 21 after the lock tongue 23 extends from the free end 222, the connecting structure further comprises a locking piece connected to the guide rail connecting piece 22 or the lock tongue 23. When the lock tongue 23 extends from the free end 222, the locking piece can lock the lock tongue 23 and the guide rail connecting piece 22.

[0074] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 ​The locking member is an elastic member 25, which is provided at the end of the lock tongue 23 facing the rotating end 221. When the lock tongue 23 extends out of the free end 222, the elastic member 25 can provide a pre-tightening force to the lock tongue 23 toward the free end 222, ensuring the prestressed force of the lock tongue 23 to extend and retract, so that the lock tongue 23 can stably extend out of the free end 222, further ensuring the connection reliability between the lock tongue 23 and the door frame connector 21. In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic member 25 is a spring.

[0075] More specifically, when the locking tongue 23 extends beyond the free end 222, the elastic member 25 is in a first compressed state, and the preload force is provided by the elastic force of the compressed spring. It will be appreciated that when the locking tongue 23 retracts toward the free end 222, the elastic member 25 is in a second compressed state, and the compressed length of the elastic member 25 in the second compressed state is shorter than the compressed length of the elastic member 25 in the first compressed state.

[0076] Alternatively, the locking member includes a first magnetic portion and a second magnetic portion, wherein the first magnetic portion is arranged on the lock tongue 23, and the second magnetic portion is arranged on the door frame connector 21, and the lock tongue 23 and the door frame connector 21 are attracted together by the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion.

[0077] Alternatively, the locking and fixing of the two are achieved by means of a snap-fit ​​protrusion and a snap-fit ​​groove.

[0078] In order to facilitate the installation of the lock tongue 23 and the elastic member 25 and reduce the volume of the above-mentioned connection structure, refer to Figure 6 The guide rail connector 22 further includes a main body 220 connecting the free end 222 and the rotating end 221. A mounting hole 223 penetrating the free end 222 is formed on one side of the main body 220 close to the free end 222. The mounting hole 223 has a mounting end and an abutting end that are opposite to each other (the abutting end is closer to the rotating end 221 than the mounting end). The lock tongue 23 and the elastic member 25 are both received in the mounting hole 223 through the mounting end. The end of the elastic member 25 facing away from the lock tongue 23 abuts against the abutting end and is in a compressed state. Figure 6 As shown, the abutting end is the right end of the mounting hole 223 , and the mounting end is the left end of the mounting hole 223 .

[0079] Based on the above embodiment, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The side wall of the main body 220 is formed with a limiting slot 224 which is in communication with the mounting hole 223 and is arranged opposite to the lock tongue 23. One end of the driving member 24 extends into the limiting slot 224 and is connected with the lock tongue 23 mounted in the mounting hole 223. The limiting slot 224 has a first limiting portion close to the free end 222, a second limiting portion close to the rotating end 221, and an intermediate connecting portion connecting the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion. The driving member 24 can move between the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion. When the driving member 24 is positioned in the first limiting portion, the lock tongue 23 extends out and is locked at the free end 222. When the driving member 24 is positioned in the second limiting portion, the lock tongue 23 retracts and is locked at the free end 222. Thus, the reliability and safety of the locking function of the lock tongue 23 are further improved.

[0080] More specifically, the limiting slot 224 is any one of a U-shaped limiting slot 224 (as shown in the figure), an H-shaped limiting slot, a Π-shaped limiting slot, an M-shaped limiting slot, an inverted M-shaped limiting slot or an N-shaped limiting slot. Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the driving member 24 is a handle which is generally columnar. That is, the handle can be inserted into the mounting hole 223 through the limiting slot 224 and is connected with the lock tongue 23, or is threadedly connected with the lock tongue 23, as long as the two are fixedly assembled together. Thus, the handle can be manually operated to extend or retract the lock tongue 23 out of the free end 222, and the above scheme is easy to implement and has low cost.

[0081] Alternatively, the limiting slot 224 is a sliding groove which is opened along the movement direction of the lock tongue 23. The first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are both configured as clamping protrusions protruding from the lower side wall of the limiting slot 224. The intermediate connecting portion is configured as a connecting groove segment of the limiting slot 224 between the two clamping protrusions. The two ends of the limiting slot 224 are respectively formed with a receiving groove segment between the two sides of the two clamping protrusions which are opposite to each other, for accommodating the driving member 24. That is, the length of the limiting slot 224 is greater than the distance between the two clamping protrusions, and each receiving groove segment is greater than or equal to the size of the driving member 24. In specific use, when the driving member 24 moves to the position of the clamping protrusion, it is first lifted by the clamping protrusion and then falls into the limiting slot 224, and is clamped in the receiving groove segment by the clamping protrusion in the movement direction of the lock tongue 23, thereby realizing the locking function of the lock tongue 23.

[0082] In some other embodiments of the present application, the driving member 24 is a driving motor, and the connecting structure further comprises a worm gear connected with the driving motor, and a worm connected with the worm gear and moving in the same direction as the lock tongue 23 and fixedly connected with the lock tongue 23. Thus, the locking of the lock tongue 23 can be realized by the self-locking function of the worm gear and the worm.

[0083] With reference to the above Figures 4-6 , the connecting structure further comprises a connecting rod 26, the lock tongue 23 and the elastic member 25 are sleeved on the connecting rod 26, and the size of the mounting hole 223 near the rotating end 221 is smaller than the size of the elastic member 25 and matches the size of the connecting rod 26 (the rod segment 261 of the connecting rod 26). On the one hand, the connecting rod 26 can guide the deformation direction of the elastic member 25, so as to ensure that the extension or retraction of the lock tongue 23 is more reliable and stable. On the other hand, the connecting rod 26 can also provide a support force along the movement direction of the lock tongue 23, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the whole connecting structure 2.

[0084] More specifically, with reference to the above Figure 6 , the connecting rod 26 comprises a rod segment 261 and a limiting segment 262, the size of the limiting segment 262 is larger than the size of the rod segment 261, the lock tongue 23 is in a cylindrical structure and is slidingly installed in the mounting hole 223, a stepped hole is formed in the lock tongue 23, the large hole end of the stepped hole is farther away from the elastic member 25 than the small hole end, the size of the large hole end is larger than or equal to the size of the limiting segment 262, and the small hole end matches the rod segment 26. Thus, the limiting between the connecting rod 26 and the lock tongue 23 in the axial direction of the connecting rod 26 can be realized by the limiting segment 262 of the connecting rod 26.

[0085] For example, the driving member 24 is connected with the lock tongue 23, so that when the connecting rod 26 is installed, the connecting rod 26 only needs to be inserted from the large hole end, and the rod segment of the connecting rod 26 is sequentially passed out from the small hole end and the end of the mounting hole 223 near the rotating end 221. The connecting rod 26 is axially positioned on the lock tongue 23 under the joint action of the limiting segment 262 and the elastic member 25.

[0086] With reference to the above Figure 4 and Figure 7The main body 220 includes a first connecting wall 2211, a second connecting wall 2212 opposite to the first connecting wall 2211, and a side wall 2213 connecting the first connecting wall 2211 and the second connecting wall 2212. The rotating end 221 is configured to include a first pivot hole on the first connecting wall 2211 and a second pivot hole on the second connecting wall 2212 corresponding to the first pivot hole. The first pivot hole and the second pivot hole are rotatably connected to the top end of the guide rail assembly 1, thereby realizing the rotation connection between the guide rail connecting piece 22 and the guide rail assembly 1 through the shaft hole rotation connection mode on the basis of ensuring the structural stability.

[0087] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the guide rail connecting piece 22 does not interfere during rotation, the end of the first connecting wall 2211 and the end of the second connecting wall 2212 are both arc-shaped structures, and the size of the side wall 2213 in the movement direction of the lock tongue 23 is shorter than the size of the first connecting wall 2211 and the second connecting wall 2212 in the movement direction.

[0088] Based on the above embodiment, the connecting structure further includes a sliding block 27 slidingly arranged on the side wall 2213 and fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 26 close to the rotating end 221, so as to support and position the end of the connecting rod 26 close to the rotating end 221, and also guide the movement of the connecting rod 26.

[0089] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 7 , the free end 222 is configured as a clamping boss, the lock tongue 23 extends out of the clamping boss, the door frame connecting piece 21 includes a U-shaped accommodating groove, the opening of the U-shaped accommodating groove faces upward, the clamping boss is embedded in the U-shaped accommodating groove, thereby facilitating the connection between the guide rail connecting piece 22 and the door frame connecting piece 21, and also limiting the movement of the guide rail connecting piece 22 in a direction away from the opening.

[0090] More specifically, the clamping boss is a cylindrical clamping boss, which can also rotate around its own axis after being embedded in the U-shaped accommodating groove, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the angle of the guide rail assembly 1 when placed, and further adjusting the height of the guide rail assembly 1. At the same time, in order to further adjust the angle of the guide rail assembly 1 when placed, the bottom end of the guide rail assembly 1 is provided with a roller 15. The roller 15 can roll along the ground, thereby more conveniently adjusting the included angle between the guide rail assembly 1 and the ground or the hatch.

[0091] The door frame connecting piece 21 further comprises a positioning groove 211 arranged in the U-shaped accommodating groove, and the positioning groove 211 is aligned with the lock tongue 23 when the clamping boss is embedded in the U-shaped accommodating groove. In specific use, when the clamping boss is embedded in the U-shaped accommodating groove, the positioning groove 211 is aligned with the lock tongue 23, thereby realizing the positioning of the positioning groove 211 and the lock tongue 23, and ensuring that the lock tongue 23 can be smoothly inserted into the positioning groove 211 after being driven by the driving piece 24 to extend out of the clamping boss.
