Background Technology

[0002] A single-ear connector extends from the base of the aircraft's vertical tail panel and connects with a double-ear connector, resulting in high connection efficiency.

[0003] To assess the stability and strength of the single-ear joint at the root of the aircraft vertical tail panel under axial compression, a single-ear joint test piece was designed for radial compression testing of the shaft hole. The single-ear joint test piece includes a single-ear joint, a transition section formed at the root of the single-ear joint, and a support section formed below the transition section. During the radial compression test of the shaft hole, the support section is used for support. A radial compressive load needs to be applied to the shaft hole of the single-ear joint, and the single-ear joint and its transition section need to be supported to prevent lateral displacement and to reproduce the actual stress on the single-ear joint on the aircraft.

[0049] A radial compression test loading structure for a single-ear joint shaft hole at the root of an aircraft vertical tail panel includes:

[0050] Base plate 1;

[0051] Two positioning clamps 2 are connected to the base plate 1 and clamped on both sides of the support section of the single-ear joint test piece 3;

[0067] Two sets of linear bearings 12 are installed in two sets of guide holes using bearing retaining rings and are fitted onto two sets of guide rods 5 to reduce the sliding friction between the loading platform 6 and the guide rods 5, thereby avoiding a large additional load on the test and affecting the accuracy of the test results.

[0068] In some optional embodiments, in the radial compression test loading structure of the single-ear joint shaft hole at the root of the aircraft vertical tail panel described above, the two support bushings 7 are stepped at the outer end and are embedded in the two loading holes.

[0069] The outer end of each of the two support bushings 7 has a limiting groove that engages with the two limiting strips 9.
