[0002] The mounting joint is an important component of an aero-engine, and transmits various external loads of the engine to the airplane. The general mounting joint design method only considers the stiffness and strength, and can withstand the load. The position is generally designed on both sides of the horizontal center line of the main load-bearing casing (frame) to eliminate the bending of the fuselage caused by the deviation of the thrust load from the horizontal center line.
[0003] Generally, the mounting joint requires a hanging point to cooperate during the transportation, installation and disassembly of the aero-engine, so the engine is generally provided with a non-universal detachable hanging. The hanging of each type is different, and the hanging installation position is also different, which greatly increases the difficulty of operation of the field workers during the transportation, installation and disassembly. The separate provision of the hanging also makes the design and production more complicated. In addition, since the hanging is a load-bearing part, it needs to be checked for stiffness, strength and even fire resistance, which is a complicated process. Moreover, the additional components make the total weight of the engine heavier. SUMMARY

[0010] Further, the main body frame is triangular.
[0011] Further, the main body frame is provided with a through slot at one end.
[0012] The through slot comprises a first arc-shaped side wall and a second arc-shaped side wall.

[0027] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0028] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a new mounting joint combined with a hanging function according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, Figure 1 a new mounting joint combined with a hanging function according to the present application includes a plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1, an ear 3 and a main frame 5.
[0029] The plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 are arranged at the bottom end of the main frame 5.
[0030] The ear 3 is arranged at the top end of the main frame 5.
[0031] The internal mounting interface 1 is used to connect with an engine force-bearing casing, so as to ensure that the supporting force of the engine can be effectively transmitted to the mounting joint.
[0032] The ear 3 is used for lifting.
[0033] In some embodiments, the cross section of the internal mounting interface 1 is circular.
[0034] The diameters of the plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 are equal or unequal. In actual use, the diameter of the internal mounting interface 1 can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, the internal mounting interface 1 is provided with 7, wherein the diameter of the middle one is greater than that of the other internal mounting interfaces 1. The diameters of the plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 are different, which can match different models of engines and have a wide range of applications.
[0035] In some embodiments, the centers of the plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 are distributed at equal intervals and located on the same circular arc. The plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 are connected with the engine force-bearing casing, so as to ensure that the supporting force of the engine can be effectively transmitted to the mounting joint.
[0036] In some embodiments, the main frame 5 is triangular. The triangular main frame 5 can provide stable support.
[0037] In some embodiments, the oblique side of the main frame 5 is provided with a through slot. When installing, the flange plate of the engine needs to be inserted into the through slot of the main frame 5 for installation.
[0038] The through slot includes a first arc-shaped side wall 51 and a second arc-shaped side wall 52.
[0039] The first arc-shaped side wall 51 and the second arc-shaped side wall 52 are hollow in the middle;
[0040] A plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 are arranged on the first arc-shaped side wall 51 and the second arc-shaped side wall 52. The plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 on the first arc-shaped side wall 51 and the plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 on the second arc-shaped side wall 52 are one-to-one corresponding, and the corresponding internal mounting interfaces 1 are of the same diameter.
[0041] The flange plate of the engine is moved into the through slot on the main frame 5, and the engine flange plate and the mounting section are connected together through the plurality of internal mounting interfaces 1 on the first arc-shaped side wall 51 and the second arc-shaped side wall 52 and bolts.
[0042] In some embodiments, the new mounting section combined with the hanging function further comprises: an external mounting interface 2;
[0043] The external mounting interface 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the main frame 5.
[0044] The external mounting interface 2 is used for docking with the aircraft cabin. The external mounting interface 2 is designed as a shaft-holding structure, which has the advantages of simple design, easy assembly, low cost, uniform stress dispersion, good processability, simple structure, easy factory processing and control of tolerance range, compliance with the replaceability of general engine mounting section design, and compliance with the installation method requirements of general aircraft cabin.
[0045] In some embodiments, the external mounting interface 2 is in a cylindrical shape.
[0046] In some embodiments, the new mounting section combined with the hanging function further comprises: a groove 4;
[0047] The groove 4 is arranged in the middle region of the main frame 5.
[0048] In some embodiments, the horizontal cross section of the groove 4 is in a rounded triangle shape.
[0049] The groove 4 can reduce the weight of the mounting section on one hand, and the rounded triangle shape can provide stable support on the other hand.
[0050] In some embodiments, the main frame 5 is subjected to rounding treatment. The rounding treatment can reduce the weight of the mounting section on one hand, and can also reduce the problem of stress concentration on the other hand.
[0051] Based on the above-mentioned new mounting section combined with the hanging function, the embodiment proposes a design method of the new mounting section combined with the hanging function, comprising:
[0052] As Figure 1As shown, according to the relationship between the connecting position of the mounting lug and the engine, the internal mounting interface 1 of the mounting lug is designed, and seven mounting holes are designed in the mounting lug, which are connected with the engine force-bearing casing in equidistant circular arc distribution, so as to ensure that the supporting force of the engine can be effectively transmitted to the mounting lug.
[0053] Since the mounting lug is a connecting force transmission structure of the engine and the cabin structure of the aircraft, the direct connection form of the mounting lug with the cabin structure of the aircraft also needs to be considered, and the external mounting interface 2 of the mounting lug is designed through the relative position relationship between the mounting lug and the cabin of the aircraft, as shown in Figure 1 The shaft holding structure is designed to be connected with the cabin of the aircraft.
[0054] In order to combine the function of the hanger, as shown in Figure 1 A new hanger ear 3 is designed above the original mounting lug (schematic) to replace the function of the hanger. The mounting lug and the hanger are both force-bearing members, so the rigidity and strength requirements can be easily met. This integrated design method greatly simplifies the design and field work.
[0055] Under the condition of meeting the rigidity and strength requirements of the mounting lug, the mounting lug is subjected to a groove digging step, as shown in Figure 1 Grooves 4 are dug in the position of the mounting lug structure with thick thickness and strong strength, so as to reduce the weight of the mounting lug and meet the weight index in the design index.
[0056] Under the consideration of aesthetics and design standards, as shown in Figure 1 The edges of the corners of the mounting lug are chamfered, which can also reduce the weight of the mounting lug and reduce the problem of stress concentration.
[0057] The mounting lug design method of the present application not only considers the bearing and load transmission of the engine, but also considers the integration of its function, the optimization of the overall weight of the engine, and the optimization of the overall structure of the engine. Generally, in the field, the aircraft engine needs a hanger point to cooperate during transportation, installation and disassembly, so the engine is usually equipped with a non-universal detachable hanger. Each type of hanger is different, and the hanger installation position is also different, which greatly increases the difficulty of operation of the field workers during transportation, installation and disassembly. The separate provision of the hanger also makes the design and production more complicated. The present application ingeniously solves this problem. Since the mounting lug is the main support and force-bearing member of the engine, its rigidity and strength can meet the conditions of the hanger. The integrated hanger ear is designed above the mounting lug, thereby reducing the work of disassembling the separate hanger in the field. Through a series of finite element calculations, such integrated design can effectively reduce the overall weight of the engine.
