Detailed Implementation

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention provides a quick identification fixture for aircraft connector parts, including a worktable 1 and an identification structure. The identification structure includes a connecting fixing plate 2, a reference positioning plate 3, a connecting positioning component 4, a first movable slider 5, and a first identification component 6. The worktable 1 is provided with a first connecting positioning hole 11 and a first sliding groove 12. One side wall of the reference positioning plate 3 is a reference surface. The reference positioning plate 3 is disposed on the connecting fixing plate 2. The connecting fixing plate 2 is provided with a second connecting positioning hole 21, and the second connecting positioning hole 21 is located next to the reference surface of the reference positioning plate 3.

[0037] The upper half of the connecting positioning part 4 is the part connecting part 41, and the lower half of the connecting positioning part 4 is the fixing plate connecting part 42. The lower end of the fixing plate connecting part 42 passes through the second connecting positioning hole 21 and the first connecting positioning hole 11 in sequence to set the connecting fixing plate 2 on the worktable 1.

[0038] The first identification element 6 is disposed on the first movable slider 5, which is matched and disposed in the first sliding groove 12. The first movable slider 5 can move back and forth along the length direction of the first sliding groove 12 and contact the aircraft connector-type parts for rapid identification.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the aircraft connector parts targeted by the tooling of this invention include a protrusion and two surfaces. A threaded hole is provided in the middle of the protrusion. One surface is inclined on the protrusion, and the other surface is inclined on the first surface. The protrusion dimensions and positions are the same for both types of aircraft connector parts; the difference lies in the inclination angle or length of the two surfaces. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the first type of aircraft connector part 91. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the second type of aircraft connector part 92. Figure 9 This is a comparative schematic diagram of the first type of aircraft connector part 91 and the second type of aircraft connector part 92.

[0040] When using the rapid identification fixture of this invention to identify aircraft connector-type parts, such as Figure 10 As shown, the outer wall of the protrusion of the aircraft connector part to be identified is brought into contact with the reference surface of the reference positioning plate 3. The aircraft connector part to be identified is fixed on the connecting fixing plate 2 by the connecting positioning member 4. With the reference positioning plate 3 and the connecting positioning member 4 as references, the first moving slider 5 is moved along the length direction of the first sliding groove 12 so that the first moving slider 5 contacts one of the surfaces of the aircraft connector part to be identified. The aircraft connector part is identified based on the distance between the first moving slider 5 and the reference positioning plate 3 at this time. The distance between the first moving slider 5 and the reference positioning plate 3 refers to the length of the projection of the reference surfaces of the first moving slider 5 and the reference positioning plate 3 onto the connecting fixing plate 2, thereby significantly improving the identification efficiency of aircraft connector parts and reducing the identification cost of aircraft connector parts.

[0041] To facilitate operation, for example Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes a support frame 10, on which the workbench 1 is mounted. Furthermore, a storage basket 14 may be provided, located on the side of the workbench 1, which can hold spare parts required for quick identification tooling.

[0042] The lower half of the connecting positioning component 4 is the fixing plate connecting part 42, which fixes the connecting fixing plate 2 onto the worktable 1. The upper half of the connecting positioning component 4 is the part connecting part 41, which connects to the aircraft connector part to be identified and fixes it. To ensure the effectiveness of the connecting positioning component 4 and facilitate its use, for example... Figure 3 As shown, the connecting positioning element 4 is preferably a threaded positioning pin.

[0043] The first movable slider 5 and the first identification element 6 are used to identify aircraft connector parts with different shapes connected to the protrusion. However, some aircraft connector parts have the same protrusion and the same surface connected to the protrusion. In order for the rapid identification fixture of the present invention to also identify aircraft connector parts with the same protrusion and the same surface connected to the protrusion, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes a second movable slider 7 and a second identification element 8. A second sliding groove 13 is provided on the worktable 1, and the second sliding groove 13 is perpendicular to the first sliding groove 12. The second identification element 8 is disposed on the second movable slider 7, which is matched and disposed in the second sliding groove 13. The second movable slider 7 can move back and forth along the length of the second sliding groove 13 and contact the aircraft connector-like parts for rapid identification. During identification, for example... Figure 11 As shown, the first movable slider 5 and the first identification element 6 identify the surface connected to the protrusion. If they are the same, the second movable slider 7 is moved along the length direction of the second sliding groove 13 so that the second movable slider 7 contacts another surface of the aircraft connector part to be identified. The aircraft connector part is identified based on the distance between the second movable slider 7 and the reference positioning plate 3 at this time, thereby effectively improving the accuracy and range of identification.

[0044] Based on the structural characteristics of aircraft connector parts, in order to facilitate the arrangement of various components and make it convenient for operators to use, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the workbench 1 is rectangular in shape, the connecting fixing plate 2 is rectangular in shape, the first sliding groove 12 is set along the transverse direction of the workbench 1, which is also the length direction of the first sliding groove 12, and the second sliding groove 13 is set along the longitudinal direction of the workbench 1, which is also the length direction of the second sliding groove 13.

[0045] To reduce the possibility of offset during the movement of the first moving slider 5 and the second moving slider 7, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the first movable slider 5 is inverted T-shaped, and the first sliding groove 12 is also inverted T-shaped, corresponding to the first movable slider 5; the second movable slider 7 is inverted T-shaped, and the second sliding groove 13 is also inverted T-shaped, corresponding to the second movable slider 7. This arrangement effectively reduces the possibility of misalignment when the first movable slider 5 and the second movable slider 7 move, ensuring recognition accuracy, and also improving the connection strength of the first movable slider 5 in the first sliding groove 12 and the second movable slider 7 in the second sliding groove 13.

[0046] To facilitate the use of the entire rapid identification fixture and expand its application range, there are multiple first sliding grooves 12, all of which are arranged parallel to each other. There are also multiple second sliding grooves 13, all of which are arranged parallel to each other. The worktable 1 is provided with multiple first connecting positioning holes 11. A row of first connecting positioning holes 11 is provided between two adjacent first sliding grooves 12, and a row of first connecting positioning holes 11 is provided between two adjacent second sliding grooves 13.

[0047] The first identification element 6 identifies the surface connected to the protrusion based on its distance from the reference positioning plate 3 when it contacts the aircraft connector part to be identified. The second identification element 8 identifies another surface based on its distance from the reference positioning plate 3 when it contacts the aircraft connector part to be identified. To facilitate the use of the first identification element 6 and the second identification element 8, improve their effectiveness, and ensure identification accuracy, a preferred structure for the first identification element 6 and the second identification element 8 is as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the first identification component 6 includes a first connecting base plate 61, a first connecting column 62, and a first identification touch plate 63. The first connecting column 62 is vertically disposed on the first connecting base plate 61, and the first identification touch plate 63 is vertically disposed on the first connecting column 62. The second identification component 8 includes a second connecting base plate 81, a second connecting column 82, and a second identification touch plate 83. The second connecting column 82 is vertically disposed on the second connecting base plate 81, and the first identification touch plate 63 is vertically disposed on the second connecting column 82. The first connecting base plate 61 is detachably disposed on the first movable slider 5 by screws, and the second connecting base plate 81 is detachably disposed on the second movable slider 7 by screws.

[0048] To further improve recognition efficiency, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the connecting fixing plate 2 is provided with a first etched marking area 22 and a second etched marking area 23. The first etched marking area 22 is arranged along the transverse direction of the connecting fixing plate 2, and the second etched marking area 23 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the connecting fixing plate 2. It also includes a first indicator plate 64 and a second indicator plate 84. The first indicator plate 64 is vertically arranged on the first connecting column 62, and the first indicator plate 64 corresponds to the first etched marking area 22. The second indicator plate 84 is vertically arranged on the second connecting column 82, and the second indicator plate 84 corresponds to the second etched marking area 23. The first etched marking area 22 has multiple identification points for the outline of the parts arranged along the transverse direction of the connecting fixing plate 2, and the second etched marking area 23 has multiple identification points for the outline of the parts arranged along the longitudinal direction of the connecting fixing plate 2. During identification, the first identification contact plate 63 and the second identification contact plate 83 respectively contact the two shaped surfaces of the aircraft connector part to be identified. At this time, the first indicator plate 64 and the second indicator plate 84 point to the outline point of the part (identifying the part drawing number), enabling the operator to quickly identify and improve identification efficiency.
