The implementation of this application is described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0026] The present application provides a transport aircraft freight floor, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes:

[0027] A floor panel 3, the floor panel 3 being supported on the lower floor frame by a plurality of rows of longitudinal beam profiles 5;

[0028] A plurality of mooring rail tracks 4, each of which is arranged between two selected adjacent longitudinal beam profiles 5, and a mooring rail 2 is installed above each mooring rail track 4, wherein the mooring rail 2 has a track groove 21 formed on the upper surface of the floor panel 3;

[0029] The bushing support 6 is fixed on the selected longitudinal beam profile 5, and multiple bushing supports 6 are arranged in rows, wherein each mooring slide rail 2 has a mooring row composed of multiple bushing supports 6 on both sides, and each bushing support 6 is installed with a threaded bushing 1.

[0030] The floor panel of the present application forms multiple rows of tethered rails 2 and threaded bushings 1, and the multiple rows of tethered rails 2 and the multiple rows of threaded bushings 1 are arranged at intervals. Figure 8 The left and right sides of the cargo system device 100 can be tied to the track groove 21 by a tie rope 200 or a tie chain, and the front and rear sides of the cargo system device 100 can be fixed to the threaded bushing 1 by a tie rope or a tie chain. The cargo system device 100 can be installed between adjacent tie rails 2, or can span multiple tie rails.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the threaded bushing 1 has an internal thread and an external thread, the bushing support 6 has an internal thread, the external thread of the threaded bushing 1 is matched and connected with the internal thread of the bushing support 6, and the internal thread of the threaded bushing 1 is used to connect the freight system equipment 100.

[0032] In some optional embodiments, the threaded surface of the threaded bushing 1 and / or the bushing support 6 is provided with an anti-stick coating.

[0033] In this embodiment, the threaded bushing 1 and the bushing support 6 are generally made of stainless steel, and the adhesion of stainless steel threads is a common problem in engineering practice. In order to prevent the two threads from sticking and being difficult to disassemble and assemble during long-term use, certain measures need to be taken during manufacturing and installation. First, when processing the threads, ensure the processing accuracy and surface quality. The thread surface is coated with an anti-stick coating. In some optional embodiments, the anti-stick coating includes ion-plated aluminum or surface aluminum coating. When the threads are installed, lubrication measures can also be taken to prevent thread adhesion, such as coating with molybdenum disulfide.

[0034] In some optional embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The bushing support 6 is a box structure with edge strips on all sides, a threaded hole structure with internal threads is formed on the upper edge strip 61 of the box structure, the lower edge strip 62 of the box structure is fixed to the lower frame of the floor, and the vertical edge strips 63 of the box structure on both sides are connected to the longitudinal beam web 51 of the longitudinal beam profile 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper edge strip 61 of the box body provides local support for the floor panel 3. The load transmitted by the cargo through the cargo system will be directly transmitted to the longitudinal beam profile 5 of the floor and the lower frame of the floor through the threaded bushing 1 and the bushing support 6.

[0036] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the groove bottom edge strip 22 of the track groove 21 of the mooring slide rail 2 is fixed to the track upper edge strip 41 of the mooring slide rail track 4 by bolts.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The track groove 21 of the mooring slide rail 2 is a strip groove, and a mooring interface 23 with arc-shaped expansion on both sides of the groove is formed at a set interval on the strip groove.

[0038] In this embodiment, the mooring rail 2 has strong versatility and flexibility. The mooring rail 2 has multiple mooring interfaces 23. When used as a cargo mooring point interface, a detachable mooring ring can be installed at any mooring interface 23 according to the location of the mooring point. The mooring rail 2 can be used as an interface for a cargo guide device-detachable roller system, and can also be used as a pallet installation interface. When transporting personnel, the mooring rail 2 is used as a seat rail interface, and can also be used as a connection interface for various product equipment such as a stretcher station and a medical workbench.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the mooring rail track 4 and the longitudinal beam profile 5 are both formed by aluminum alloy extrusion profiles. In this embodiment, the mooring rail 2 is processed by aluminum alloy / titanium alloy thick plate or extrusion profiles according to the load requirements.

[0040] In the alternative implementation, the mooring rail 2, the floor panel 3, the mooring rail track 4 and the longitudinal beam profile 5 can be reasonably divided into sections and blocks according to the actual situation and then assembled. The mooring rail 2 and the threaded bushing 1 are the main interfaces of the freight system. If they are damaged during frequent use, they can also be quickly replaced. If the floor panel 3 is damaged in daily use, it can also be conveniently repaired or even replaced.

[0041] The cargo floor of the present application has two universal cargo system interfaces, a threaded bushing and a mooring rail. The internal thread of the threaded bushing can be used to install detachable mooring equipment, cargo guide equipment, arresting equipment, etc. of the cargo system according to the needs of use. The mooring rail has multiple mooring interfaces to achieve universal connection of different cargo system equipment.
