Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of the strength test of the inclined airtight floor in the main landing gear bay of an aircraft, and particularly relates to a loading structure for the strength test of the inclined airtight floor in the main landing gear bay of an aircraft. Background Technique

[0002] Inside the main landing gear bay of an aircraft, the inclined airtight floor is trapezoidal, arranged in the airtight area, with its lower side edge connected to the central wing, its upper side edge connected to the horizontal airtight floor, and its two vertical and inclined side edges connected to the fuselage skin. During operation, it bears the airtight load and the lateral shear load generated by the inconsistent deformation of the central wing and the horizontal airtight floor.

[0003] To cope with the damage caused by the lateral shear load, the relaxation method is mostly used to release the deformation of the inclined airtight floor. The longitudinal beam of the inclined airtight floor is divided into multiple blocks along the span direction, and rubber is used as the sealing strip to ensure airtightness. On the basis of ensuring the airtight load, the connection with the central wing is weakened.

[0004] When conducting a strength test on the inclined airtight floor, it is necessary to repeatedly apply a lateral shear load under the airtight load. However, in practice, limited by the configuration of the inclined airtight floor, it is difficult to accurately apply the airtight load to it directly through air pressure, and it is difficult to overcome the problem of mutual interference between the application of the airtight load and the application of the lateral shear load.

[0005] In view of the existence of the above technical defects, this application is proposed.
