Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aircraft maintenance, specifically relating to a four-degree-of-freedom disassembly and assembly device for aircraft wheel disassembly and assembly. Background Technology
[0002] During aircraft line maintenance, the removal and installation of aircraft wheels is a common task. Because most aircraft wheels are large in size and weight, and there are many to be repaired, the removal and installation usually requires 3-5 people working together. When installing aircraft wheels and brake components, it is necessary to align the center of the wheel's central hole with the axle's axle, while avoiding wheel wobbling and preventing the wheel hub from scraping against the axle.
[0003] Currently, most disassembly devices rely on manual handling by workers, visual inspection, and manual fixing of the wheels. Because there are deviations between manual inspection and fixing, as well as environmental factors such as the ground, multiple adjustments are often required to align the wheels with the center. This makes wheel replacement time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and may even damage parts. Summary of the Invention
