Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of aircraft door mechanism design, and specifically relates to an aircraft door position adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, the heading position of a hatch is adjusted by adding washers, using washers of different thicknesses to achieve heading offset. This method has two drawbacks: first, it is limited by the minimum thickness of the washers, resulting in a relatively large minimum offset and making precise adjustment of the hatch position impossible; second, the adjustment process requires repeated disassembly and removal of the hatch, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

[0003] Therefore, it is desirable to have a technical solution to overcome or at least mitigate one of the aforementioned defects of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an aircraft door position adjustment device to solve at least one problem existing in the prior art.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application provides an aircraft door position adjustment device, including: a rocker arm 7, a door frame 8, a threaded shaft 4, a support 3, and an adjusting bolt 1.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, one end of the rocker arm 7 is hinged to the main hinge of the hatch, and the other end is provided with a first through hole; the hatch bulkhead 8 includes a left hatch bulkhead and a right hatch bulkhead, the left hatch bulkhead is provided with a second through hole, and the right hatch bulkhead is provided with a third through hole; the threaded shaft 4 is provided with an internal thread, and the threaded shaft 4 passes through the second through hole, the first through hole, and the third through hole in sequence to be hinged to the rocker arm 7 and the hatch bulkhead 8. Limiting bushings 5 ​​are installed on the threaded shaft 4 on both sides of the rocker arm 7 by connecting bolts 6, and the rocker arm 7 and the threaded shaft 4 are axially limited by the two limiting bushings 5; the support 3 includes a left support and a right support, the left support is fixedly connected to the left hatch bulkhead, and the right support is fixedly connected to the right hatch bulkhead; the adjusting bolt 1 includes a left adjusting bolt and a right adjusting bolt, the left adjusting bolt is connected to the left bolt of the threaded shaft 4, and the right adjusting bolt is connected to the right bolt of the threaded shaft 4.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this application, rocker arm 7 is provided with rocker arm bushings at both ends of the rocker arm 7 at the connection points with the threaded shaft 4, and the end face of the limiting bushing 5 abuts against the end face of the corresponding rocker arm bushing.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the hatch bulkhead 8 is connected to the threaded shaft 4 in conjunction with the hatch bulkhead bushing.

[0033] In the preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the threaded shaft 4 is stepped, with the radial dimensions at both ends being larger than those at the middle. Mounting holes for connecting bolts 6 are provided on it. In this embodiment, limiting planes are provided at both ends of the threaded shaft 4, and a limiting part is provided on the support 3. The limiting part cooperates with the limiting planes to restrict the rotation of the threaded shaft 4.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the adjusting bolt 1 is connected to the threaded shaft 4 in conjunction with the washer 2.

[0035] The aircraft door position adjustment device of this application has a threaded shaft 4 that sequentially passes through bushing holes on the left door bulkhead, rocker arm 7, and right door bulkhead. The end face of the limiting bushing 5 contacts the bushing end faces at both ends of the rocker arm 7 and is fixed to the threaded shaft 4 by connecting bolts 6, thus limiting the axial movement of the rocker arm 7, with only one rotational degree of freedom between them. The adjusting bolt 1 and the threaded shaft 4 form a threaded pair; turning the adjusting bolt 1 drives the threaded shaft 4, which in turn drives the rocker arm 7 to slide axially. The support 3 is fixed to the door bulkhead 8. The cylindrical surfaces at both ends of the threaded shaft 4 are partially flattened and fit against the limiting surface of the support 3 to form a linear pair, preventing rotation of the threaded shaft 4 during adjustment and ensuring that the threaded shaft 4 and rocker arm 7 only undergo axial translation during adjustment. Since the door bulkhead 8 remains stationary relative to the ground, the door will undergo axial translation during adjustment, thus adjusting the door position. The specific adjustment amount can be determined by leaving a gap between the limiting bushing 5 and the bushing end faces of the door bulkhead 8.

[0036] During installation of the aircraft cabin door position adjustment device of this application, after inserting the threaded shaft 4 into the holes on the cabin door frame 8, rocker arm 7 and limiting bushing 5, and confirming that the limiting bushing 5 and rocker arm bushing are in contact, the limiting bushing 5 and the threaded shaft 4 are fixedly connected with the connecting bolt 6. Then, the corresponding support 3 and washer 2 are installed. Finally, the adjusting bolt 1 is screwed in to clamp the washer 2 and the support 3.

[0037] The aircraft door position adjustment device of this application utilizes the helical characteristics of a threaded pair to achieve stepless adjustment and precise control of the door position. The specific adjustment amount can be determined by leaving a gap between the limit bushing 5 and the bushing end face of the door frame 8. This application designs a stepless adjustment device using the helical characteristics of a threaded pair, achieving precise control of the door position. Adjustment only requires turning the adjusting nut 1, which is simple to operate, avoids repeated disassembly of the door, and has a simple structure, occupies little space, and does not significantly increase the weight of the door mechanism.

[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
