Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aircraft assembly and transportation, and in particular relates to a six-degree-of-freedom assembly and transportation device for an aircraft front landing gear. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the domestic aerospace manufacturing industry, the aviation industry and the aerospace industry have put forward higher requirements for the automation level of production, transportation, assembly, and testing of key components such as aircraft landing gear and engines, as well as assembly costs and assembly reliability. As a key component of the aircraft, the front landing gear's transportation and assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy directly affect the aircraft's production capacity and the reliability of the aircraft's taxiing and landing. Due to the large size and weight of the aircraft's front landing gear, auxiliary equipment is usually required during the ground assembly process. Due to the high assembly accuracy, large weight and size, and the limitations of the connecting mechanism during the assembly process; the assembly adjustment equipment structure is more complicated. The existing auxiliary equipment has low assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the landing gear, and the existing components are greatly limited during the assembly process, which is not conducive to the assembly of the landing gear. Patent: An assembly and transfer device for the front landing gear of an aircraft, the lower end of the translation mechanism is slidably connected to the upper end of the omnidirectional transfer vehicle omnidirectional transfer vehicle 1, the power supply control component is located on one side of the translation mechanism, the other side of the translation mechanism is slidably connected to one end of the lifting mechanism, the other end of the lifting mechanism is hinged to the first side of the support frame, a towing mechanism for connecting the towed component is provided on the support frame, and the translation mechanism, the lifting mechanism, the towing mechanism and the omnidirectional transfer vehicle omnidirectional transfer vehicle 1 are all signal-connected to the power supply control component. Patent: An assembly test vehicle for the front landing gear of an aircraft, using an air floating platform to realize the movement of the front landing gear along the X-axis and the Y-axis and the rotation around the Z-axis; using four vertical servo electric cylinders to realize the movement of the front landing gear along the Z-axis and the rotation around the X-axis and the Y-axis; using a horizontal servo electric cylinder to realize the rotation of the pillar of the front landing gear along the wheel axle. The test vehicle can move and turn in the factory, transport the front landing gear from the assembly station to the jig installation position, realize the movement of the front landing gear in the three axial directions of X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis and the rotation around the three axes, realize the micro-adjustment of the pitch attitude of the front landing gear, that is, realize the rotation of the support of the front landing gear along the wheel axle. The patent discloses a front landing gear assembly test vehicle for an aircraft, which mainly includes a front chassis and a rear chassis, a longitudinally through-containing cavity is defined on the front chassis, and a plurality of omnidirectional wheels are respectively installed at the bottom of the front chassis and the rear chassis, and the omnidirectional wheels are connected to the wheel axle motor through a transmission shaft, and the wheel axle motor is fixed on the chassis and electrically connected to the control unit; a support frame is placed in the accommodating cavity, and three electric cylinders are hinged on the chassis, and the electric cylinders are electrically connected to the control unit; a wheel axle positioning fixture, and the wheel axle positioning fixture is fixedly connected to the support frame.
[0003] The shortcomings of the above prior art are: 1. The existing front landing gear installation equipment mainly realizes 6-DOF adjustment through the posture adjustment installation mechanism and the transfer vehicle. During the implementation process, the transfer vehicle has low movement accuracy and limited movement space; 2. The existing technology uses a parallel mechanism to adjust the posture of the front landing gear. The parallel mechanism has a large body and a small adjustment range. The single-axis movement is mainly achieved through multiple sets of legs. Therefore, the direct adjustability is poor and cannot meet the adjustment needs of a larger range.
[0004] 3. The existing front landing gear assembly and transfer device only has the function of moving along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions during installation, and the directional dragging function of the X-axis can only be completed by a mobile assembly test vehicle; due to the space limitation during the installation of the front landing gear, the mobile assembly test vehicle will be affected by the space to achieve the dragging of the X-axis, resulting in insufficient dragging distance, which does not meet the assembly requirements.
[0005] 4. The existing front landing gear assembly and transfer device installation mechanism has the function of rotating around the X-axis and Y-axis separately when installing the landing gear, and the directional rotation function around the Z-axis can only be completed by a mobile assembly test vehicle; due to the space limitation when installing the front landing gear, the rotation around the Z-axis of the mobile assembly test vehicle will be affected by the space, resulting in insufficient rotation distance, which does not meet the assembly requirements.
[0006] 5. In the prior art, after the front landing gear has completed the six-freedom positioning, since the six-freedom mechanism has no force unloading structure, the front landing gear cannot achieve smooth docking, and the landing gear mounting hole and the aircraft are stuck and blocked.
[0007] 6. During the positioning and assembly of the prior art, if the assembly and installation of the front landing gear needs to meet a certain angle, it is necessary to observe the angle in real time while adjusting the deflection angle, which increases the difficulty of adjusting the angle of the front landing gear and cannot automatically reach a precise position.
[0008] 7. When assembling the front landing gear, when it comes to dragging and swinging the front landing gear, the fixed position will also change. The existing assembly structure cannot adapt to the fixing requirements when achieving dragging and rotation during assembly, and cannot meet the requirements of assembly accuracy.

The omnidirectional transporter 1 is used to realize the movement of three degrees of freedom on the plane; The floating mechanism 2 is installed on the omnidirectional transport vehicle 1, so that the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 3 is in a flexible state, ensuring smooth docking between the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 3 and the front landing gear 3; A six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 3 is installed above the floating mechanism 2 and is used to install the front landing gear 5 for six-degree-of-freedom adjustment; The control cabinet 4 is used to control the coordination of the electrical components on the omnidirectional transfer vehicle 1 , the floating mechanism 2 , and the six-degree-of-freedom attitude adjustment mechanism 3 , and to precisely adjust the position of the front landing gear 5 .
