Description

The connection design between crane rails and flat airtight doors is complex. Integrated design of crane rails and airtight doors, or the use of fixed rail supports to connect crane rails and airtight doors, can easily lead to the rails and supports bearing the combined loads of ground cargo loads and airtight loads.

[0003] Currently, domestic aircraft often use a connection method with fixed supports, while foreign aircraft use a combination of fixed and movable supports. However, due to the complexity of their connection system, the increase in structural weight, and technological blockade, it is necessary to design a crane rail and airtight door connection method that can decouple the loading load and airtight load of the cargo aircraft's overhead rail.

[0045] This application provides a crane rail connection structure for a flat airtight door, including three sections of rails and supports installed on the rails.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first section of the variable-section I-beam suspension rail 10 is sequentially equipped with a first fixed suspension rail support 1 and a first single-double-ear movable suspension rail support 2; the second section of the equal-section I-beam suspension rail 11 is sequentially equipped with a second single-double-ear movable suspension rail support 3, a third single-double-ear movable suspension rail support 4, a second fixed suspension rail support 5, a fourth single-double-ear movable suspension rail support 6, and a fifth single-double-ear movable suspension rail support 7; the third section of the equal-section I-beam suspension rail 12 is sequentially equipped with a sixth single-double-ear movable suspension rail support 8 and a third fixed suspension rail support 9. Among them, the first fixed hanging rail support 1, the second fixed hanging rail support 5 and the third fixed hanging rail support 9 are all connected to the flat airtight door and the hanging rail by bolts; the first single and double ear movable hanging rail support 2, the second single and double ear movable hanging rail support 3, the third single and double ear movable hanging rail support 4, the fourth single and double ear movable hanging rail support 6, the fifth single and double ear movable hanging rail support 7 and the sixth single and double ear movable hanging rail support 8 all include double ear supports and single ear supports connected by pins. The double ear supports are connected to the flat airtight door by bolts, and the single ear supports are connected to the hanging rail by bolts.

[0047] This application discloses a crane rail connection structure for a flat airtight door. The aircraft cargo crane rail is connected to the flat airtight door via crane rail supports, which are then connected to the reinforcing longitudinal beams of the airtight door through distributed connections. During the design process, the rigid body motion relationship between the nine sets of crane rail supports, the airtight door, and the crane rail was analyzed to design a crane rail and crane rail supports that do not bear the airtight load of the fuselage. The crane rail supports are designed in three sections: the first section, a variable-section I-beam crane rail 10, uses one fixed crane rail support and one movable crane rail support; the second section, a constant-section I-beam crane rail 11, uses one fixed crane rail support and four movable crane rail supports; and the third section, a constant-section I-beam crane rail 12, uses one fixed crane rail support and one movable crane rail support. The designs of the three fixed crane rail supports are different.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the length ratio of the first variable-section I-beam hanging rail 10, the second constant-section I-beam hanging rail 11, and the third constant-section I-beam hanging rail 12 is 1:3:1, and there is a 2mm gap between adjacent hanging rails.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the first fixed rail support 1 adopts an I-shaped cross section and a rectangular base combination structure; the second fixed rail support 5 and the third fixed rail support 9 adopt a cross-shaped cross section and a rectangular base combination structure.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the first single / double-ear movable rail support 2, the second single / double-ear movable rail support 3, the third single / double-ear movable rail support 4, the fourth single / double-ear movable rail support 6, the fifth single / double-ear movable rail support 7, and the sixth single / double-ear movable rail support 8 all have supporting ribs arranged on both sides of their bases for both the double-ear and single-ear supports. The ear holes of the double-ear and single-ear supports can be round, elliptical, or oblong. In this embodiment, preferably, the ear holes of the double-ear supports of the first single / double-ear movable rail support 2, the second single / double-ear movable rail support 3, the fifth single / double-ear movable rail support 7, and the sixth single / double-ear movable rail support 8 are oblong holes, and the ear holes of the single-ear supports are round holes; the ear holes of the double-ear supports of the third single / double-ear movable rail support 4 and the fourth single / double-ear movable rail support 6 are elliptical holes, and the ear holes of the single-ear supports are round holes. Advantageously, in this embodiment, there is at least a 1mm gap between the ear plates of the double-ear supports and the ear plates of the single-ear supports of each single / double-ear movable rail support.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first fixed hanging rail support 1, the second fixed hanging rail support 5, and the third fixed hanging rail support 9 gradually increases from the hanging rail towards the flat airtight door; the cross-sectional area of ​​the double-ear support of the first single-double-ear movable hanging rail support 2, the second single-double-ear movable hanging rail support 3, the third single-double-ear movable hanging rail support 4, the fourth single-double-ear movable hanging rail support 6, the fifth single-double-ear movable hanging rail support 7, and the sixth single-double-ear movable hanging rail support 8 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the single-ear support.

[0052] In the preferred embodiment of this application, the bolt holes connecting the base of each hanging rail support to the longitudinal beam of the airtight door and the hanging rail are as close as possible to the R area while ensuring manufacturability.

[0053] The crane rail connection structure of the flat airtight door disclosed in this application employs multiple sets of tie bolts to connect the crane rail and the flat airtight door through movable and fixed rail supports. First, the crane rails are arranged in a length ratio of 1:3:1. Each section of the crane rail is connected to the airtight door using a combination of fixed rail supports and movable rail supports with single and double lugs. The cross-section of the fixed and movable rail supports gradually increases from the rail to the airtight door. The single lug of the movable support connects to the crane rail, while the double lug connects to the airtight door. The single lug is inserted into the double lug using a pin, ensuring a gap of at least 1mm between the single and double lugs. The connection holes for the single and double lugs use a combination of round, elliptical, and oblong holes to ensure that the spacing between every two rail supports is approximately the same. The rail supports are then connected to the airtight door and the crane rails using tie bolts.

[0054] The crane rail connection structure for the flat airtight door of this application realizes the distribution of aircraft loads across the fuselage structure, satisfies the deformation coordination relationship between each rail support, and decouples the crane load and airtight load borne by the rails and rail supports. This application is applicable to the connection of various types of rails, rail supports and aircraft structures, and can achieve the connection unaffected by the deformation of the connection structure. It has the characteristics of simple form, convenient implementation and clear load transfer.

[0055] 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.
