The overall structure is stable and has a strong load-bearing capacity. When lowering, the two rollers arranged at the rear end contact the ground, which can reduce the impact load and friction load and avoid damage. It can well adapt to the situation where the aircraft slides forward at a low speed after landing and unloads cargo from the cargo hold.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aircraft cargo bridge structure design, and specifically relates to an aircraft cargo bridge. Background Art

[0002] A cargo bridge is installed in the aircraft cargo hold. The front end of the cargo bridge is hinged to the cargo hold floor. When the cabin door is opened, the cargo bridge is lowered and the rear end contacts the ground, forming a channel for transporting cargo.

[0003] At present, the front end of the cargo bridge is hooked on the rotating shaft set on the cargo hold floor by a hook to realize the hinged connection between the front end of the cargo bridge and the cargo hold floor. In order to prevent the hook from being separated from the rotating shaft and ensure the reliability of the connection between the front end of the cargo bridge and the cargo hold floor, most designs have a locking mechanism with a complex structure, which is inconvenient to operate and difficult to achieve rapid disassembly and maintenance of the front end of the cargo bridge on the cargo hold floor. In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of unloading cargo from the cargo hold, in some cases it is required that when the aircraft is taxiing forward at low speed after landing, the cabin door is opened and the cargo bridge is lowered to unload cargo from the cargo hold. The rear end of the cargo bridge contacts the ground, which is prone to generate large impact loads and friction loads, and is extremely prone to damage.

[0004] This application is proposed in view of the above-mentioned technical defects. Summary of the Invention

[0040] An aircraft cargo bridge, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0041] Two longitudinal beams 1, arranged opposite to each other;

[0042] The front end plate 2 is connected between the two longitudinal beams 1, is located at the front end of the two longitudinal beams 1, and is hinged to the cargo hold floor 3;

[0043] The rear end plate 4 is connected between the two longitudinal beams 1 and is located at the rear ends of the two longitudinal beams 1;

[0044] A plurality of reinforcement frames 5 are connected between the two longitudinal beams 1 and arranged along the longitudinal direction of the two longitudinal beams 1;

[0045] A support beam 6 is provided between the two longitudinal beams 1, with a front end connected to the front end plate 2 and a rear end connected to the rear end plate 4;

[0046] Two rollers 7 are provided with tires and are arranged on the outside of the rear ends of the two longitudinal beams 1 .

[0047] In the aircraft cargo bridge disclosed in the above embodiment, the main structure of the cargo bridge is composed of two longitudinal beams 1, a front end plate 2, a rear end plate 4, a support beam 6 and a plurality of reinforcement frames 5. The overall structure is stable and has a strong load-bearing capacity. When lowering, the two rollers 7 arranged at the rear end are in contact with the ground, which can reduce the impact load and friction load and avoid damage. It can well adapt to the situation where the aircraft slides forward at a low speed after landing and unloads cargo from the cargo hold.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, the lower edges of the rear ends of the two longitudinal beams 1 are tilted upward to avoid direct contact between the rear ends and the ground when the cargo bridge is lowered, thereby preventing large impact loads and friction loads from being generated.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, two sets of rollers 8 are set between the two longitudinal beams 1 and the support beam 6, and are arranged longitudinally along the two longitudinal beams 1 to reduce the friction load between the cargo and the cargo during loading and unloading.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, the cargo hold floor 3 is provided with two lugs 9, and the two lugs 9 are provided with a rotating shaft 10;

[0051] The aircraft cargo bridge further comprises:

[0052] Two hooks 11 are connected to the outside of the front end plate 2 and hooked on the two rotating shafts 10. That is, the front end of the cargo bridge cooperates with the rotating shafts 10 set on the cargo hold floor 3 through the two hooks 11 to achieve hinged connection, and can be folded up and put down by rotating around the axis.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge further includes:

[0054] The control handle 12 has a pin hole at one end and is bent at the other end. The bent portion is hinged to the outside of the front end of a longitudinal beam 1 through a pin shaft.

[0055] The latch seat 13 is connected to the outer front end of the longitudinal beam 1 to which the control handle 12 is hinged;

[0056] The latch 14 is provided on the latch seat 13 and can be inserted into the latch hole to lock the position of the control handle 12. At this time, the end of the control handle 12 is bent toward a rotating shaft 10 and is stuck in the opening of the corresponding hook 11. Figure 2 As shown, the hook 11 can be prevented from being separated from the rotating shaft 10, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the front end of the cargo bridge and the cargo compartment floor 3. The overall structure is simple, and when the cargo bridge needs to be removed, the pin 14 can be pulled out from the pin hole to release the lock on the position of the control handle 12, and then the control handle 12 can be rotated so that the end of the bent end of the control handle 12 is turned back to the corresponding rotating shaft 10 and out of the opening of the corresponding hook 11, and then the hook 11 can be separated from the rotating shaft 10, and the cargo bridge can be removed. The operation is convenient, and the installation of the cargo bridge on the cargo compartment floor 3 can be carried out by referring to the reverse operation of the cargo bridge removal process, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, the latch 14 has an annular protrusion;

[0058] The aircraft cargo bridge further comprises:

[0059] The spring 15 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the pin 14, and its two ends are connected to the pin seat 13 and the annular protrusion. The spring 15 relies on the elastic force to keep the pin 14 inserted in the pin hole, ensuring the reliable locking of the position of the control handle 12. When the cargo bridge needs to be removed, the pin 14 can be pulled to overcome the elastic force of the spring 15, so that the pin 14 is pulled out of the pin hole, and the lock on the position of the control handle 12 is released.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, there are two groups of control handles 12 and their corresponding latch seats 13, latches 14, and springs 15, which are connected to the outer front ends of the two longitudinal beams 1 and cooperate with the two rotating shafts 10 and the hooks 11.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, the front end plate 2 is welded between the two longitudinal beams 1 .

[0062] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, the rear end plate 4 is welded between the two longitudinal beams 1 .

[0063] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft cargo bridge, each reinforcement frame 5 is welded to connect two longitudinal beams 1 .

[0064] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or replacements will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
