Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tooling technology for autogyros, and in particular to a mobile tooling specifically designed for autogyros. Background Technology

[0002] An autogyro is a rotorcraft that uses its own rotor as the lifting surface and a propeller for forward propulsion. The rotor provides lift and attitude control torques such as pitch and roll. Therefore, unlike helicopters which rely on engine power to drive their rotors, if the engine fails in flight, the autogyro's rotor continues to rotate due to the airflow in front, allowing it to land safely by relying on its rotor's rotation.

[0003] In the production and manufacturing of autogyros, it is necessary to lift and move the autogyros. Existing methods use small gantry cranes, but the autogyros are not stable after being lifted, which is inconvenient for assembling tooling and other operations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a dedicated mobile tooling for autogyros, facilitating the assembly and production of autogyros.

[0005] The following scheme is adopted in the embodiments of the present invention: a special mobile tooling for autogyro, including a nose landing gear support module and a main landing gear support module;

[0006] Both the nose landing gear support module and the main landing gear support module are equipped with lifting devices for supporting the autogyro fuselage and the ground, respectively; both the nose landing gear support module and the main landing gear support module are equipped with casters.

[0007] Multiple nose landing gear support modules and multiple main landing gear support modules are connected by detachable linkages.

[0008] The front landing gear support module is also detachably connected to a traction component. After the traction component drags the front landing gear support module, it drives the main landing gear support module to move through a connecting rod.

[0009] Preferably, one of the front landing gear support modules is connected to two of the main landing gear support modules via two adjustable angle rods, and the two main landing gear support modules are connected by an adjustable length rod.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting device supporting the autogyro fuselage and the lifting device supporting the ground are located on the same vertical plane.

[0011] Preferably, the traction assembly includes a traction handle, a connecting frame, and mounting clips. The traction handle is suspended on the connecting frame, and several mounting clips protrude from the connecting frame. The connecting frame is detachably mounted on the front landing gear support module via the mounting clips.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting device is a scissor jack.

[0013] Preferably, the scissor jacks in the front landing gear support module are installed perpendicular to the main landing gear support module.

[0014] Preferably, the lower part of the lifting device supporting the ground is also provided with anti-slip feet that contact the ground.

[0015] This invention provides a dedicated mobile tooling for autogyros. Compared with the prior art, this invention has at least the following technical advantages:

[0016] This invention uses towable and combinable nose landing gear and main landing gear support modules to lift and move an autogyro, facilitating its assembly. Furthermore, combining different numbers of nose and main landing gear support modules can provide moving tooling for autogyros of varying sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Labeling Explanation: Nose landing gear load-bearing module-1, main landing gear load-bearing module-2, lifting device-3, moving wheel-4, traction assembly-5, traction handle-51, connecting frame-52, mounting buckle-53, adjustable angle rod-12, adjustable length rod-22, anti-slip outriggers-30, autogyro fuselage-100. Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 9 A mobile tooling for autogyro aircraft includes a nose landing gear support module 1 and a main landing gear support module 2;

[0029] Both the front landing gear support module 1 and the main landing gear support module 2 are equipped with lifting devices 3 for supporting the autogyro fuselage 100 and the ground, respectively; both the front landing gear support module 1 and the main landing gear support module 2 are equipped with casters 4; the lifting devices 3 supporting the autogyro fuselage 100 of the front landing gear support module 1 and the main landing gear support module 2 contact the fuselage through shape pads corresponding to the fuselage.

[0030] Multiple front landing gear support modules 1 and multiple main landing gear support modules 2 are connected by detachable linkages.

[0031] The front landing gear support module 1 is also detachably connected to a traction component 5. After the traction component 5 drags the front landing gear support module 1, it drives the main landing gear support module 2 to move through a connecting rod.

[0032] This invention uses a towable and combinable nose landing gear support module 1 and main landing gear support module 2 to lift and move an autogyro, facilitating its assembly. Furthermore, combining different numbers of nose landing gear support modules 1 and main landing gear support modules 2 can provide moving tooling for autogyros of different sizes.

[0033] To address the issue of movable tooling for autogyros equipped with tricycle landing gear, this invention proposes a front landing gear support module 1 connected to two main landing gear support modules 2 via two adjustable angle rods 12. The two main landing gear support modules 2 are connected by an adjustable length rod 22. Each main landing gear support module 2 is also equipped with a reinforcing fixing rod connecting the adjustable angle rods 12. The adjustable angle rods 12 can accommodate tooling for autogyros with tricycle landing gears of different sizes.

[0034] To reduce the cost of the lifting devices, this invention places two lifting devices 3 on the upper and lower parts of the load-bearing module, respectively. The lifting device 3 supporting the autogyro fuselage and the lifting device 3 supporting the ground are located on the same vertical plane. This design facilitates the force transmission between the upper and lower lifting devices 3.

[0035] To facilitate the movement of the autogyro, a detachable traction assembly 5 is provided at the front of the nose landing gear support module 1. The traction assembly 5 includes a traction handle 51, a connecting frame 52, and mounting clips 53. The traction handle 51 is suspended on the connecting frame 52, and several mounting clips 53 protrude from the connecting frame 52. The connecting frame 52 is detachably mounted on the nose landing gear support module 1 via the mounting clips 53. During autogyro tooling, the traction assembly 5 can be disassembled, maintaining a simple tooling environment and improving tooling efficiency.

[0036] To reduce costs, the lifting device 3 in this invention is a scissor jack.

[0037] To further ensure the stability of the rotorcraft after the lifting device 3 lifts it, the scissor jacks in the front landing gear support module 1 are installed perpendicular to the main landing gear support module 2.

[0038] The lifting device 3 that supports the ground is also equipped with anti-slip feet 30 that contact the ground.

[0039] Work process:

[0040] Folded-up state: When the dedicated mobile tooling for autogyros proposed in this invention is not in use, the nose landing gear support module 1 and the main landing gear support module 2 are stacked together. This results in a small footprint, facilitating transportation and storage.

[0041] Displacement state: During the tooling operation of the autogyro, one nose landing gear support module 1 and two main landing gear support modules 2 are combined through an adjustable angle rod 12 and an adjustable length rod 22. The nose landing gear support module 1 and the main landing gear support modules 2 together form a movable triangular component that can be supported on the lower part of the autogyro.

[0042] Tooling configuration: The lifting devices 3 on the upper parts of the nose landing gear support module 1 and the main landing gear support module 2 lift and support the autogyro fuselage. At this time, the autogyro can be moved by dragging the nose landing gear support module 1. The lifting devices 3 on the upper and lower parts of the nose landing gear support module 1 and the main landing gear support module 2 are both lifted and support the autogyro fuselage and the ground respectively. At this time, the autogyro is fixed and raised to its highest position, which facilitates tooling of the autogyro.
