Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation technology, and more particularly to a mounting frame and support device for mounting aircraft wings. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of research, development and testing of manned aircraft and large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ground transportation is often required to transport the components of manned aircraft and large UAVs to designated locations.

[0003] Some mounting brackets for clamping and fixing wings have been disclosed in the relevant technical solutions. However, these mounting brackets have a fixed structure and large size, making them inconvenient to transport. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In summary, the technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a mounting frame and carrier for installing wings, making them easier to transport.

[0005] The solution adopted in this application to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a mounting bracket for mounting an aircraft wing, capable of switching between an deployed state and a folded state, the mounting bracket comprising:

[0007] Frame;

[0008] Two clamping parts are arranged sequentially along a first direction and disposed on the frame. The two clamping parts can move towards each other or away from each other, and at least one of them can switch between a first posture and a second posture. The size of the clamping part in the first posture in the first direction is greater than its size in the first direction in the second posture.

[0009] When the mounting frame is in the unfolded state, the two clamping parts are used to clamp the wing located between them. When the mounting frame is switched to the folded state, at least one of the clamping parts switches from the first posture to the second posture and the two clamping parts move towards each other.

[0012] The clamping part can rotate around the rotation axis in a first rotation direction to switch to the first posture, or rotate around the rotation axis in a second rotation direction to switch to the second posture, wherein the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite to each other.

[0013] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the frame includes:

[0014] A locking member is provided to releasably restrict the clamping portion from rotating in the second rotation direction when the clamping portion is in the first posture.

[0015] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, when the clamping part is in the first posture, it abuts against the corresponding connecting seat; the locking member has two ends with a fixed distance, and when the clamping part is in the first posture, the two ends of the locking member are detachably connected to the clamping part and the connecting seat respectively, and the connection between the locking member and the clamping part and the hinge joint between the clamping part and the connecting seat are spaced apart.

[0016] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the frame includes:

[0017] An adjusting member is disposed between the two clamping portions. The adjusting member has a plurality of first limiting structures arranged sequentially along the first direction. One of the two clamping portions is connected to a second limiting structure, and the other is fixed to the adjusting member in the first direction.

[0018] The second limiting structure can be selectively connected with one of the first limiting structures to lock the two clamping parts relative to each other in the first direction.

[0019] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the two clamping portions are a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion, wherein the first clamping portion has a first wing groove adapted to one of the leading edge or the trailing edge of the wing, and the second clamping portion has a second wing groove adapted to the shape of the other of the leading edge or the trailing edge of the wing.

[0020] Secondly, this application provides a carrier device, including the mounting bracket as described in the first aspect.

[0021] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the carrying device further includes:

[0022] The tray has a central axis, and a plurality of mounting brackets are movablely connected to the tray along a first horizontal direction perpendicular to the central axis. The plurality of mounting brackets are divided into two groups arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction and placed on both sides of the central axis.

[0023] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the carrying device can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state;

[0024] The two sets of mounting brackets located on both sides of the central axis can move towards each other to put the carrying device in a folded state, or move away from each other to form an accommodating space between the two sets of mounting brackets located on both sides of the central axis for the pallet to carry the machine body and put the carrying device in an unfolded state.

[0025] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the carrying device further includes:

[0026] The moving mechanism includes a slide rail body connected to the pallet and forming a groove extending along the first horizontal direction, wherein the frame body is slidably disposed in the groove along the extension direction of the groove.

[0028] The stop assembly includes a stop rod and a stop element;

[0029] The slide rail body has a through-hole, with the length of the through-hole extending along the direction of the slide groove. One end of the stop rod is connected to the frame, and the other end extends out of the slide rail body through the through-hole. The stop rod is movable along the length of the through-hole. The stop member is connected to the part of the stop rod that extends out of the slide rail body and is movable along the axial direction of the stop rod to abut or separate from the slide rail body.

[0032] The support has a first support end and a second support end. The first support end is movable in a vertical direction relative to the second support end. The first support end is connected to the pallet to drive the pallet and the ground to form a preset distance.

[0033] In the technical solution provided in this application, the mounting frame can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. When the mounting frame is unfolded, the distance between the two clamping parts is adapted to the wing, thereby firmly clamping the wing. When the wing is not installed, the mounting frame can switch from the unfolded state to the folded state. At this time, at least one clamping part switches from a first posture to a second posture with a smaller size in the first direction, and the two clamping parts move towards each other, thereby reducing the size of the mounting frame in the first direction, improving the structural compactness of the mounting frame, and facilitating the transportation of the mounting frame.

Therefore, the invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles disclosed in this application.

[0059] The main body of this embodiment is a carrier device 1000 used for transporting aircraft parts.

[0060] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagrams show the structure of the carrier device 1000 when it is idle and the structure of the carrier device 1000 when it carries the wing 2100 and the fuselage 2200. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the carrier device 1000 specifically includes multiple mounting brackets 1100 for mounting the wing 2100.

[0061] Please see Figure 3 A structural diagram of mounting bracket 1100, which specifically includes:

[0062] Frame;

[0063] Two clamping parts 1120 are arranged sequentially along a first direction and connected to the frame. The two clamping parts 1120 can move towards each other or away from each other, and at least one of them can switch between a first posture and a second posture. The size of the clamping part 1120 in the first posture in the first direction is larger than its size in the first posture in the second posture.

[0064] The mounting bracket 1100 has a folded state and an unfolded state, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the mounting bracket 1100 is in the deployed state, the clamping portions 1120 on both sides in the first direction are used to clamp the wing 2100. Please refer to... Figure 5 When the mounting bracket 1100 is switched to the folded state, at least one clamping part 1120 switches from the first posture to the second posture, and the two clamping parts 1120 move towards each other. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 When the mounting bracket 1100 is in the folded state, the two clamping parts 1120 are stacked on top of each other in the first direction.

[0065] The following will provide a detailed description of how the mounting bracket 1100 provided in this embodiment improves its transport performance.

[0066] Please see Figure 4 When the mounting bracket 1100 is in the deployed state, the distance between the two clamping parts 1120 matches the size of the wing 2100. The wing 2100 is installed and fixed by the opposing clamping forces applied by the clamping parts 1120 on both sides. However, when the mounting bracket 1100 is in the deployed state, since both clamping parts 1120 are in their first position, the size of the clamping parts 1120 in the first direction is relatively large, and a distance matching the size of the wing 2100 is formed between the two clamping parts 1120. Therefore, the entire mounting bracket 1100 will have a relatively bulky shape in the first direction. When the wing 2100 is not needed, the mounting bracket 1100 is idle but occupies a large volume space, which has a certain impact on the transportation of the mounting bracket 1100.

[0067] This problem is particularly noticeable when the clamping part 1120 has a wing groove for holding the wing. This is because the depth of the wing groove is relatively large, which causes the length dimension D1 of the clamping part 1120 to be significantly larger than its width dimension D2.

[0068] Therefore, when wing 2100 is not required, mounting bracket 1100 can be switched to a folded state. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the mounting bracket 1100 is switched to the folded state, the two clamping parts 1120 switch from the first posture to the second posture. Furthermore, the two clamping parts 1120 move towards each other along a first direction. See also... Figure 6When the mounting bracket 1100 is switched to the folded state, the two clamping parts 1120 are stacked on top of each other in the first direction, and the entire mounting bracket 1100 will present a more compact form in the first direction, with ideal transportability.

[0069] It should be noted that the folded state and unfolded state mentioned above refer to the structural form of the mounting bracket 1100 itself. The structural compactness of the mounting bracket 1100 in the folded state is greater than that of the mounting bracket 1100 in the unfolded state.

[0070] It should also be noted that the aforementioned clamping part 1120 refers to the component used to clamp and stabilize the wing 2100, and the first posture and the second posture refer to the placement posture of the clamping part 1120. The clamping part 1120 can move relative to the frame to switch between the first posture and the second posture. Please refer to Figure 4 The clamping part 1120 has a shape where the length dimension D1 and the width dimension D2 are inconsistent. Therefore, when the placement posture of the clamping part 1120 changes, its dimension in the first direction may change accordingly.

[0071] For example, in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 When the clamping part 1120 is in the first posture, its length dimension D1 extends along the first direction; for example... Figure 5 When the clamping part 1120 is in the second posture, its width dimension D2 extends along the first direction.

[0072] It is worth mentioning that the length dimension D1 and width dimension D2 of the clamping part 1120 are defined based on the size of its own structure in each direction, and the length dimension D1 of the clamping part 1120 will always be greater than its width dimension D2.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both clamping parts 1120 can switch between a first posture and a second posture, and when the mounting bracket 1100 switches from an unfolded state to a folded state, both clamping parts 1120 switch from the first posture to the second posture.

[0074] However, the above description should not be interpreted as meaning that the improved transport performance of the mounting frame 1100 can only be achieved if both clamping parts 1120 can switch between the first and second postures. Only one of the two clamping parts 1120 can switch between the first and second postures, while the other maintains its original posture during the transition of the mounting frame 1100 from the unfolded state to the folded state. This arrangement still achieves the goal of reducing the dimensions of the mounting frame 1100 in the first direction and improving the structural compactness of the mounting frame 1100.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first direction is specifically the vertical direction. The mounting bracket 1100 can switch from an unfolded state to a folded state, thereby reducing its size in the vertical direction and lowering its center of gravity. It is understood that the above description does not imply a limitation on the first direction; the first direction can also be the horizontal direction or other directions. For example, in another embodiment, the first direction is specifically the horizontal direction, and the mounting bracket 1100 can switch from an unfolded state to a folded state, thereby reducing its size in the horizontal direction. Without affecting the purpose of the invention, implementers can choose the specific direction of the first direction according to their own needs, and this application does not impose any particular limitation in this regard.

[0076] The above text has introduced how the mounting bracket 1100 improves its own transportation performance. The following text will further introduce the clamping part 1120.

[0077] Regarding the clamping part 1120: The clamping part 1120 can be any component capable of clamping the wing 2100 for installation of the wing 2100. The clamping part 1120 can be any shape such as a frame or a plate. In this embodiment, the two clamping parts 1120 are respectively the first clamping part 1120a and the second clamping part 1120b, such as... Figure 7 The first clamping part 1120a has a first wing groove 1124a that is adapted to either the leading edge or the trailing edge of the wing 2100, such as Figure 10 The second clamping part 1120b has a second wing groove 1124b that is adapted to the shape of the other of the leading edge or trailing edge of the wing 2100.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, when the mounting bracket 1100 is in the unfolded state, the first clamping part 1120a and the second clamping part 1120b clamp and fix the wing 2100, and also hold the wing 2100 through the first wing groove 1124a and the second wing groove 1124b, thereby improving the installation stability of the wing 2100 and the stability of the wing 2100 during transportation.

[0079] As described above, in this embodiment, the depth direction of the wing groove formed on the clamping part 1120 is set along the length direction of the clamping part 1120. Since the mounting bracket 1100 can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state, even when the wing groove has a greater depth, causing the length dimension D1 of the clamping part 1120 to be significantly larger than its width dimension D2, it will not cause the mounting bracket 1100 to become structurally bulky when idle.

[0080] More specifically, such as Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping part 1120 specifically includes a buffer body 1121 defining a corresponding wing slot and a connecting frame 1122. The buffer body 1121 is connected to the connecting frame 1122. The buffer body 1121 is made of elastic materials such as rubber. The elastic buffer body 1121 can buffer and protect the split wing 2100 to a certain extent, avoiding damage to the split wing 2100 caused by vibration of the transport vehicle during the journey. The connecting frame 1122 is made of hard materials such as steel and aluminum. The connecting frame 1122 and the buffer body 1121 are connected and fixed by bolts. When facing application scenarios that require the transport of different aircraft parts, the buffer body 1121 can be disassembled and a buffer body 1121 with a suitable wing slot can be installed accordingly, thus broadening the applicability of the mounting bracket 1100.

[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two corresponding wing slots are formed on the clamping part 1120 to respectively install two independent wings 2100. Of course, without affecting the purpose of the invention, the implementer can choose the number of corresponding wing slots formed on the clamping part 1120 according to their own needs.

[0082] The structure of the clamping part 1120 has been described above. The connection method between the clamping part 1120 and the frame will be further described below.

[0083] In this embodiment, the clamping part 1120 is movably connected to the frame, allowing the clamping part 1120 to switch between a first posture and a second posture. Regarding the specific movable connection method, in another embodiment, the clamping part 1120 and the frame are detachably connected and have multiple installation methods. The clamping part 1120 can select the installation method with the frame, thereby switching between the first posture and the second posture.

[0084] To improve the operability of the clamping part 1120 in changing its attitude, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The aforementioned frame includes:

[0085] The connecting seat 1111 is hinged to the corresponding clamping part 1120, and the rotation axis of both is perpendicular to the first direction;

[0086] Please see Figure 5 The clamping part 1120 can rotate around the rotation axis in a first rotation direction to switch to a first posture, or rotate around the rotation axis in a second rotation direction to switch to a second posture, wherein the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite to each other.

[0087] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the frame specifically includes two connecting seats 1111, and clamping portions 1120 on both sides are respectively hinged to the connecting seat 1111 on the same side. As described above, the clamping portion 1120 has a rectangular shape with different length dimensions D1 and width dimensions D2, and the rotation axis of the clamping portion 1120 and the connecting seat 1111 is perpendicular to the first direction. Therefore, when the clamping portion 1120 rotates relative to the connecting seat 1111, the placement posture of the clamping portion 1120 will also change accordingly. In this embodiment, the connecting seat 1111 and the clamping portion 1120 are hinged to each other, so that the clamping portion 1120 can freely switch between the first posture and the second posture, making the operability more ideal. In addition, it can be understood that the above-mentioned first rotation direction and second rotation direction refer to the clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the rotation axis between the connecting seat 1111 and the clamping portion 1120.

[0088] Obviously, when the mounting bracket 1100 is in the unfolded state and the two clamping parts 1120 clamp the wing 2100 between them, it is necessary to ensure that the clamping parts 1120 can stably maintain the preset attitude on the bracket.

[0089] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the frame includes:

[0090] The locking member 1112 is used to release the clamping part 1120 from rotating in the second rotation direction when the clamping part 1120 is in the first posture.

[0091] The technical solution provided in this embodiment includes a locking member 1112 to restrict the clamping part 1120 from rotating in the second rotation direction when in the first posture. At this time, the clamping part 1120 can be stably in the first posture, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the mounting bracket 1100 in the unfolded state.

[0092] The implementer can select the above-mentioned locking components according to the requirements. In another embodiment, the locking component 1112 is specifically a screw connecting the clamping part 1120 and the connecting seat 1111. However, using a screw as the locking component 1112 does not result in ideal installation efficiency.

[0093] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The diagram further illustrates the connection between the clamping part 1120 and the frame. When the clamping part 1120 is in the first posture, it abuts against the connecting seat 1111. The locking member 1112 has two ends, and the distance between the two ends can be adjusted and locked. When the clamping part 1120 is in the first posture, the two ends of the locking member 1112 are detachably hinged to the corresponding clamping part 1120 and the connecting seat 1111, respectively. The connection between the locking member 1112 and the clamping part 1120 and the hinge between the clamping part 1120 and the connecting seat 1111 are spaced apart.

[0094] When the clamping part 1120 rotates along the first rotation direction until it abuts against the connecting seat 1111 on the corresponding side, the connecting seat 1111 restricts the clamping part 1120 from continuing to rotate along the first rotation direction. At this time, the clamping part 1120 only has a degree of freedom in the second rotation direction. Meanwhile, the two ends of the locking member 1112 are respectively connected to the clamping part 1120 and the connecting seat 1111, and are not located at the hinge point between them. Therefore, the rotation of the clamping part 1120 along the second rotation direction will lengthen the distance between the two ends of the locking member 1112. However, since the distance between the two ends of the locking member 1112 is fixed, the rotation of the clamping part 1120 in the second rotation direction is also restricted at this time. The clamping part 1120 is then stably positioned in the first posture.

[0095] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the clamping part 1120 is provided with a clamping lug 1123, and the connecting seat 1111 is provided with a connecting lug seat 1111a.

[0096] Furthermore, the locking member 1112 also includes a middle rod 1112c. The two ends of the locking member 1112 are defined by a first hinge portion 1112a and a second hinge portion 1112b, respectively. Both the first hinge portion 1112a and the second hinge portion 1112b are threadedly connected to the middle rod 1112c. The direction of rotation of the threaded connection between the first hinge portion 1112a and the middle member is opposite to the direction of rotation of the threaded connection between the second hinge portion 1112b and the middle member. With this configuration, when the middle rod 1112c rotates, the first hinge portion 1112a and the second hinge portion 1112b can move in opposite directions and lock, or move towards each other and lock.

[0097] When locking is required, the two ends of the locking member 1112 can be adjusted to a suitable distance and are respectively detachably hinged to the clamping lug 1123 and the connecting lug 1111a.

[0098] When locking is not required, the two ends of the locking member 1112 can be adjusted to a suitable distance and can be detached from the clamping lug 1123 and the connecting lug 1111a respectively.

[0099] The connection method between the frame and the clamping part 1120 has been described above. The following text will further describe the bearing device 1100.

[0100] As described above, in this embodiment, the two clamping parts 1120 can move towards each other or away from each other to adjust the distance between them, thereby adapting to the wing 2100. Please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the frame also includes:

[0101] Adjusting member 1330 is disposed between the two clamping parts 1120. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 12 The adjusting member 1330 has a plurality of first limiting structures 1331 arranged sequentially along the first direction. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 10 One of the two clamping parts 1120 is connected to the second limiting structure 1125, and the other is fixed to the adjusting member 1330 in the first direction.

[0102] The second limiting structure 1125 can be selectively connected with one of the first limiting structures 1331 to lock the two clamping parts 1120 relative to each other in the first direction.

[0103] In this embodiment, when the first limiting structure 1331 and the second limiting structure 1125 are separated from each other, the clamping portions 1120 on both sides have a degree of freedom in the first direction and can move away from each other or towards each other, thereby adapting the gap formed by the clamping portions 1120 on both sides to the wing 2100. When the clamping portions 1120 on both sides have the desired gap, the second limiting structure 1125 can cooperate with the corresponding first limiting structure 1331 to restrict the relative movement of the clamping portions 1120 on both sides in the first direction, thereby enabling the clamping portions 1120 on both sides to form a stable gap and improving clamping stability.

[0104] like Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the second limiting structure 1125 and the clamping part 1120 are indirectly connected. Without affecting the purpose of the invention, the implementers may also configure the second limiting structure 1125 to be directly connected to the clamping part 1120, and this application does not make any special limitation in this regard.

[0105] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the first limiting structure 1331 is specifically a slot, while the second limiting structure 1125 is specifically a latch that engages with and is adapted to the slot. Figure 10As shown, the bolt can be selectively engaged in any slot as the corresponding clamping part 1120 moves. More specifically, in this embodiment, after the bolt is engaged in the corresponding slot, a nut is threadedly connected to the end of the bolt extending out of the slot. This nut is used to tighten until it abuts against the adjusting member 1330, thereby enhancing the connection stability of the first limiting structure 1331 and the second limiting structure 1125. Of course, implementers can also choose the specific form of the first limiting structure 1331 and the second limiting structure 1125 according to their own needs. For example, in another embodiment, the first limiting structure 1331 is a bolt hole, and the second limiting structure 1125 is a bolt.

[0106] The structure of a single mounting bracket 1100 has been introduced above. The following section will further introduce the application scenarios and specific connection relationships of a carrier device 1000 with multiple mounting brackets 1100.

[0107] First, it should be noted that the mounting bracket 1100 can be used for conventional load-bearing equipment, while the load-bearing equipment 1000 often faces a variety of different load conditions, and in some cases the load-bearing equipment 1000 may have a high risk of overturning.

[0108] To further improve the transportation performance of the carrying equipment 1000, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the carrier device 1000 specifically includes:

[0109] A tray 1200 and multiple mounting brackets 1100 are mounted on the tray 1200.

[0110] Pallet 1200 refers to the structure capable of supporting components. In this embodiment, pallet 1200 has a central axis Z. Since pallet 1200 is generally supported and transported by forklifts or lifted and transported by cranes, and the contact points between the forklift / crane and pallet 1200 are generally located on opposite sides of the central axis Z of pallet 1200, the closer the center of gravity of the component supported on pallet 1200 is to the central axis Z of pallet 1200, the lower the risk of pallet 1200 tipping over during lifting, transport, or forklift transport.

[0111] The load-bearing device 1000 provided in this embodiment can meet different load-bearing conditions and reduce the risk of the pallet 1200 overturning.

[0112] In detail, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple mounting brackets 1100 are divided into two groups and arranged sequentially along the first horizontal direction. In this embodiment, specifically, four mounting brackets 1100 are divided into two groups arranged sequentially along the horizontal direction, namely, the left and right groups respectively set on the left and right sides of the central axis Z. Each mounting bracket 1100 can move on the tray 1200 in the left and right direction.

[0113] The maximum carrying capacity of the carrier device 1000 provided in this embodiment is four wings 2100. When some mounting racks 1100 are idle and the carrier device 1000 only transports an odd number of wings 2100, there will always be one set of mounting racks 1100 with a greater number of wings 2100 than the other set. If each wing 2100 is considered as a whole, its center of gravity will deviate from the central axis Z of the pallet 1200 in the first horizontal direction, thus making the pallet 1200 have a higher risk of overturning.

[0114] At this point, the mounting brackets 1100 on both sides of the central axis can move relative to the pallet 1200 along the first horizontal direction. For example, the mounting bracket 1100 on the side with more wings 2100 can be moved closer to the central axis Z, thereby changing the center of gravity of the whole formed by the wings 2100, making it closer to the central axis Z of the pallet 1200, so as to reduce the risk of the pallet 1200 overturning.

[0115] The supporting device 1000 provided in this embodiment mainly configures the mounting bracket 1100 to be movably connected to the pallet 1200. The mounting brackets 1100 located on both sides of the central axis Z of the pallet 1200 can move flexibly, thereby adjusting the center of gravity of the whole formed by the two aircraft components to be closer to the central axis Z of the pallet 1200, reducing the risk of the pallet 1200 tipping over.

[0116] In addition, in this embodiment, the two sets of mounting brackets 1000 located on both sides of the central axis Z define the accommodating space for the support plate 1200 to support the body 2200.

[0117] To improve the transport performance of the carrying device 1000, in another embodiment, the carrying device 1000 can also switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. The aforementioned folded state and unfolded state refer to the structural form of the carrying device 1000 itself. The structural compactness of the carrying device 1000 in the folded state is greater than that of the carrying device 1000 in the unfolded state.

[0118] In detail, in this embodiment, the left and right sets of mounting brackets 1100 can move back to back, allowing the carrying device 1000 to be in an unfolded state. At this time, the left and right sets of mounting brackets 1100 clear space for the pallet 1200 to accommodate the body 2200. The left and right sets of mounting brackets 1100 can also move towards each other, allowing them to overlap in the left-right direction or have a small gap, thus keeping the carrying device 1000 in an unfolded state and improving its compactness in the left-right direction. The carrying device provided in this embodiment can switch between an unfolded and folded state, effectively ensuring the transport performance of the carrying device 1000.

[0119] Furthermore, regarding the connection method between the tray 1200 and the mounting bracket 1100, in this embodiment, the carrying device 1000 includes:

[0120] The moving mechanism 1300 includes a slide rail 1310, which is connected to the support plate 1200 and forms a slide groove extending in a horizontal direction. The frame is slidably disposed in the slide groove along its extension direction.

[0121] Since the frame is connected to the moving mechanism 1300, the frame and the clamping part 1120 connected to the frame can move together along the slide groove formed by the slide rail 1310, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting frame 1100.

[0122] It is worth mentioning, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the specific number of moving mechanisms 1300 is two sets, and the two sets of moving mechanisms 1300 are arranged sequentially along the second horizontal direction, such as... Figure 4 Each moving mechanism 1300 is used to connect with a mounting bracket 1100 located at the same position in a second horizontal direction, wherein the first and second horizontal directions are perpendicular to each other. Each moving mechanism 1300 specifically includes two slide rails 1310 located on its upper and lower sides, respectively, and the two slide rails 1310 are slidably connected to two connecting seats 1111 on the same side. This arrangement reduces the number of parts and facilitates manufacturing.

[0123] As described above, when using the support device 1000, the entire mounting frame 1100 is often moved horizontally to adjust the center of gravity of the support device 1000. In order to prevent the mounting frame 1100 from sliding unexpectedly on the slide rail, it is necessary to make the frame body lock with the slide rail body 1310.

[0124] For this, please refer to Figure 8 In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 1300 further includes:

[0125] The stop assembly includes a stop rod 1321 and a stop member 1322;

[0126] The slide rail body 1310 has a through-hole 1311, the length of which is along the extension direction of the slide groove. One end of the stop rod 1321 is connected to the connecting seat 1111 and the other end extends out of the slide rail body 1310 through the through-hole 1311. The stop rod 1321 can move along the length of the through-hole 1311. The stop member 1322 is connected to the part of the stop rod 1321 that extends out of the slide rail body 1310 and can move along the axial direction of the stop rod 1321 to abut or separate from the slide rail body 1310.

[0127] When any mounting bracket 1100 moves horizontally to a suitable position, the operator can move the stop member 1322 axially along the stop rod 1321, thereby causing the stop member 1322 to abut against the slide rail body 1310. The stop member 1322 applies a frictional force to the connecting seat 1111, preventing it from continuing to slide along the slide groove, thereby locking the connecting seat 1111, the bracket, and the slide rail body 1310 relative to each other.

[0128] When the mounting bracket 1100 needs to be moved, the operator can move the stop member 1322 along the axial direction of the stop rod 1321, thereby separating it from the slide rail body 1310. At this time, the stop member 1322 no longer applies frictional force to the connecting seat 1111 to prevent it from sliding, and the connecting seat 1111 and the bracket body can slide freely relative to the slide rail body 1310.

[0129] It should be noted that in this embodiment, only the lower slide rail 1310 of the moving mechanism 1300 can be locked with the connecting seat 1111. This arrangement reduces the complexity of the structure.

[0130] More specifically, in this embodiment, the aforementioned stop member 1322 is specifically a locking nut, and the stop rod 1321, extending out of the slide rail body 1310, is provided with external threads that engage with the locking nut. The locking nut can move axially along the stop rod 1321 by its tightening action. The diameter of the stop rod 1321 is adapted to the width of the elongated hole 1311, so that the stop rod 1321 can move along the length of the elongated hole 1311 within the frame.

[0131] The remaining structure of the carrier device 1000 will be described in detail below.

[0132] Please see Figure 13 and Figure 14 In this embodiment, a plurality of pallet connection structures 1260 are also formed on the pallet 1200, arranged sequentially along the second horizontal direction. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8Each moving mechanism 1300 has a slide rail connecting structure 1312 on its lower slide rail body 1310; the pallet connecting structure 1260 is specifically a bolt, while the slide rail connecting structure 1312 is specifically a connecting plate with bolt holes. The slide rail connecting structure 1312 can be matched with a corresponding pallet connecting structure 1260 so that the slide rail body 1310 and the frame connected to it can adjust their position relative to the pallet 1200 in the second horizontal direction.

[0133] In this embodiment, the pallet 1200 specifically includes a plate body 1210 and a bracket 1220. The plate body 1210 is disposed on the bracket 1220, which is composed of multiple load-bearing beams. The load-bearing beams have a hollow rectangular cross-section and are arranged in a crisscross pattern. The pallet 1200 is also provided with telescopic outriggers 1230 that can extend and retract horizontally. The telescopic outriggers 1230 are hydraulic components connected to a hydraulic unit 1240, and extend and retract under the actuation of the hydraulic unit 1240. Specifically, there are four telescopic outriggers 1230, respectively disposed at the four corners of the pallet 1200.

[0134] Meanwhile, the supporting device 1000 also has a number of support members 1250 corresponding to the number of support members 1250. Each support member 1250 has a first support end 1250a and a second support end 1250b. The second support end 1250b can move vertically relative to the first support end 1250a. The first support end 1250a is connected to the pallet 1200, specifically to the telescopic end of the telescopic outrigger 1230, so as to drive the pallet 1200 to form a preset distance with the ground, thereby facilitating the transport of the pallet 1200 by forklift or the lifting operation of the pallet 1200. In addition, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned support member 1250 is also connected to the hydraulic unit 1240 so as to perform telescopic movement under the drive of the hydraulic unit 1240.

[0135] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the carrying device 1000 also includes a placement plate 1400, which is supported on the top of the slide rail 1310 of the moving mechanism 1300. The placement plate 1400 can be used to bind and place aircraft components such as horizontal tail fins, resulting in higher space utilization efficiency.

[0136] The following section will provide a further description of the entire transportation process of the carrier equipment 1000.

[0137] S100, mounting bracket 1100 is installed on tray 1200, so that mounting bracket 1100 is switched to the unfolded state, thereby enabling the wing 2100 to be fixed.

[0138] S200, and the fuselage 2200 is transported to the tray 1200 and placed in the receiving space, and then tied and fixed. At the same time, the wings 2100 are installed on the mounting bracket 1100, the horizontal tail is placed on the placement plate 1400, and the positions of the mounting brackets 1100 on both sides of the center axis Z of the tray 1200 are adjusted until the center of gravity of the whole formed by the wings 2100 approaches the center axis Z.

[0139] In step S300, the telescopic outriggers 1230 at the four corners of the pallet 1200 extend, causing the first support end 1250a of the support member 1250 to contact the ground. Then, the support member 1250 extends, creating a predetermined gap between the pallet 1200 and the ground under its influence. At this point, the platform of the transport vehicle can directly enter under the pallet 1200. Then, the support member 1250 retracts, allowing the pallet 1200 to gradually rest on the platform and be supported by it. This completes the loading process of the carrying equipment 1000, which is now ready for transport.
