Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aviation engine maintenance, in particular to a telescopic positioner for installing an engine air inlet adapter ring. Background Art

[0002] When the aircraft engine is installed, the front end is connected to the air inlet by an adapter ring. The adapter ring and the engine are usually connected by only one screw, so they are basically in a free state.

[0003] Because of the above reasons, the friction between the engine adapter ring and the inner wall of the air intake duct will cause a yaw problem. In the prior art, a rivet gun is usually used manually to impact it back into place. However, the impact force of the rivet gun is large and the force cannot be well controlled. This is not only time-consuming and laborious, but may also cause damage to the adapter ring itself and the inner wall of the air intake duct, posing an installation risk.

[0004] Based on the above reasons, the present invention designs a telescopic positioner for installing an engine intake duct adapter ring, adds several sets of detachable positioning devices on the inner wall of the intake duct to firmly support it, and when installing the engine, the adapter ring is brought into contact with the positioning block of the positioner to achieve the function of correcting the skew adapter ring. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a telescopic positioner for installing an engine intake duct adapter ring, adding several groups of detachable positioning devices to the inner wall of the intake duct to firmly support it, and when installing the engine, the adapter ring is brought into contact with the positioning block of the positioner to achieve the function of correcting the sway of the adapter ring.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a telescopic positioner for installing an engine intake duct adapter ring, wherein telescopic arms and rack shafts are respectively arranged on the four sides of a transmission module, the rack shaft is located on one side of the telescopic arm, the rack shaft passes through the interior of the transmission module and extends from the other side, an axis fixing slider is installed at one end of the telescopic arm and the rack shaft close to the transmission module, and the left and right adjacent axis fixing sliders are respectively installed upside down, and an active positioning module is arranged at one end of the telescopic arm and the rack shaft away from the transmission module.

[0007] The outer side of the movable positioning module is a positioning seat, the top of the positioning seat is installed with an engine adjustment block through a connecting shaft, the inner side of the positioning seat is provided with an adjustment seat, the adjustment seat is connected to the telescopic arm seat with an opening on the inner side through a rotating shaft, and a spring and a telescopic arm mounting bushing are provided in the opening of the telescopic arm seat.

[0008] A threaded hole is provided on the shaft fixing slider, a rack shaft hole is provided on the other side of the threaded hole, a pair of telescopic arm holes and avoidance holes are provided on the left and right sides of the shaft fixing slider respectively, a lightening groove is provided in the middle of the shaft fixing slider, a stop screw hole is provided on the top surface and the side inclined surface of the telescopic arm hole, and the telescopic arm hole and the telescopic arm are fixed by the stop screw in the stop screw hole The rack shafts in the transmission module pass through the respective rack shaft holes and are connected to the corresponding threaded holes directly opposite thereto.

[0009] The diameter of the avoidance hole is 4 to 6 mm larger than the diameter of the telescopic arm.

[0010] The helical gear shaft in the transmission module is connected to a hand crank provided on one side of the transmission module through a square hole; The helical gear shaft is interference fit with the helical gear one, the helical gear one is meshed with the helical gear two, the helical gear two is interference installed with the worm shaft, the worm shaft is interference installed with the worm rod, the turbine meshed with the worm rod is installed on the gear fixing shaft, two interference fitted gears are arranged on the gear fixing shaft, both sides of the gear are meshed with the rack shaft on the shaft fixing slider, a bearing seat one is arranged on the periphery of the helical gear one, a bearing seat two is arranged on the periphery of the turbine, and a pair of supporting bushings are respectively arranged at both ends of the rack on the rack shaft.

[0011] A handle is arranged on the transmission module and between adjacent telescopic arms.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention installs two sets of gear rack structures on the same shaft to realize four sets of telescopic arms and can be extended and retracted at the same time. The transmission system is added with a worm gear transmission method to increase the transmission ratio and realize self-locking, which is more convenient and labor-saving to use. The use of spiral gears to change the operation direction is more ergonomic. At the same time, since the hand crank is connected to the side of the transmission module through a square hole, it conforms to the human body's operating habits. The rotation direction of the crank is directly the same as the extension direction of the telescopic rod, which makes it easier to sense the support of the air intake duct and control the strength. The detachable manner of the hand crank is also convenient for storage. When you want to use it, you only need to directly connect it to the upper hole.

[0013] The working diameter of the present invention is more than one meter, and a certain support force is required for the air inlet. Since manual installation and removal are required, the telescopic arm adopts 10MM hard shaft material so as not to increase the extra weight while ensuring rigidity. Considering that the diameter and roundness of the air inlet of each aircraft may be different, the positioning block adopts an elastic design. When the positioner is supported on the inner wall of the air inlet, the positioning block will automatically fit the inner wall in contact, and fit perfectly with the air inlet. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of different models, the designed positioning seat and engine adjustment block can be easily removed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
