Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aviation ground special equipment, in particular to a modular, quick-detachable, lightweight vehicle-mounted rotary platform. Background Art

[0002] In order to promote a new departure towing mode, that is, by introducing the power integration with departure taxiing, centralized control and high-speed towing movement, the departure mode relies on the power of the towing vehicle to directly complete the efficient transfer from the berth to the take-off runway. Therefore, the high-speed and heavy-load typical characteristics of the aircraft towing system in this mode have promoted the development of towbarless towing vehicles and their on-board rotary platforms in terms of safety and robustness.

[0003] The barless tractor is a tractor that connects the front landing gear of the aircraft to the wheel holding system of the tractor, fixes the freedom of the front landing gear of the aircraft, and applies an upward load to the front landing gear of the aircraft to ensure that the traction work is carried out when the landing gear leaves the ground. The advantages of small size, maneuverability and high efficiency of barless aircraft tractors have attracted more and more attention, and provide a new idea for ground aircraft traction work. Due to the uneven pavement caused by the repeated effects of construction, environment, weather, materials, aircraft take-off and landing loads, and unsafe operation methods, China's airports have caused severe working conditions, resulting in ground traction accidents. Therefore, in order to improve the safety, robustness and efficiency of traction work, the proposal of a rotary platform is a low-tech and high-feasibility solution to strengthen fleet management and improve traction efficiency in the development process of barless aircraft tractors.

[0004] As the aviation ground special vehicle carrying equipment continues to tend towards integrated development, the special vehicle revolving platform is facing the trend of lightweight, modular and universal development. Although the existing large steel structure revolving platform has good plasticity and easy processing and characteristics, its heavy weight, poor adaptability, low strength and poor maintainability are particularly obvious in the application of special vehicle revolving platforms, resulting in the impact of vehicle load ratio. The revolving platform made of high-strength aluminum alloy integrated casting has become a feasible alternative with its significant advantages such as light weight, high strength and good adaptability. However, the existing integrated casting revolving platform cannot meet the needs of rapid disassembly and universalization, and is restricted by the fluidity of casting metal, which limits its application scope in special vehicle revolving platforms. In order to adapt to the requirements of different carrying equipment, it is urgent to develop a new type of special vehicle revolving platform that is universal, quick to disassemble and highly adaptable to meet the growing demand for special vehicles. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a modular, quick-detachable lightweight vehicle-mounted revolving platform for aircraft tractors. Based on the need for special vehicle revolving platforms to carry a variety of equipment, the chassis, lugs, and support frames are placed at the front, middle, and rear of the vehicle-mounted revolving platform body, respectively, and connected by bolts. Each module can be partitioned and designed for quick disassembly and maintenance. At the same time, lightweight design is carried out on the premise of meeting the structural rigidity, and the main body casting and partition welding mode are selected. Compared with traditional steel structure revolving platforms and cast revolving platforms, it has the advantages of high specific strength, strong versatility, and good maintainability.

[0007] The present invention provides a modular, quick-detachable lightweight vehicle-mounted revolving platform for aircraft tractors, comprising a vehicle-mounted revolving platform layout; the vehicle-mounted revolving platform layout design is to respectively install a chassis, a support lug, and a support frame at the front, middle, and rear of a revolving platform body through bolt connections, and to be symmetrically distributed left and right, and a turntable bearing is installed at the bottom of the revolving platform body through bolts.

[0008] Each module of the vehicle-mounted revolving platform is connected to the revolving platform body by bolts, which can not only design the size of each module and related interfaces according to the special vehicle carrying equipment, but also achieve the purpose of rapid disassembly and maintenance.

[0009] The main body of the slewing platform is the main load-bearing part of the vehicle-mounted slewing platform, which is cast from aluminum alloy as a whole. The middle part is circular, and the seat ring bearing surface is processed inside, and the weight is reduced in a "net" format. The lug is a load-bearing part that carries the rotating functional parts, which is cast from aluminum alloy as a whole, and the weight is reduced in a "mouth" format.

[0009] The chassis is a structural component that carries the electrical equipment installed on special vehicles, and is welded from high-strength aluminum alloy. The support frame is a structural component that extends and supports the special vehicle installation, and is welded from high-strength aluminum alloy. The turntable bearing is a large-sized internal gear, which is meshed and driven by the corresponding transmission system of the special vehicle, so that the vehicle-mounted revolving platform can rotate 360°.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: ① A layout of a vehicle-mounted rotary platform is proposed, in which a chassis, a support lug, and a support frame are placed at the front, middle, and rear of the vehicle-mounted rotary platform body, respectively, and a turntable bearing is placed at the bottom, which has the characteristics of compact structure and high space utilization. ② Each module is connected to the rotary platform body by bolts, and each module can be designed according to the specific load-bearing equipment, which has the advantages of high degree of commonality and good maintainability; ③ The main body casting and partition welding mode is adopted, that is, the poor performance of the casting due to the fluidity of the casting metal is avoided, and the wide applicability of the welded parts is utilized to meet the lightweight design requirements of the vehicle-mounted rotary platform.
