Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aviation manufacturing, and relates to a device method for quickly installing an electric cylinder of a simulator. The method is mainly used for quickly installing 6 electric cylinders on a single simulator. Background Art

[0002] In today's society, whether military or civilian, aircraft flight training simulators play a very important role in training crews to fly. During the simulator integration and assembly process, the installation of the simulator electric cylinder often troubles the operator. The electric cylinder is a core component of the simulator support. It has a large mass (about 1 ton), and the upper and lower ends are connected to the upper hinge and the lower hinge. When installing, the lower ends of the 6 electric cylinders must be connected to the lower hinge first, and the 6 electric cylinders must be staggered in sequence and supported by sleepers, and then the upper platform must be hoisted and suspended above. After the upper platform support frame is propped up around the upper platform to stabilize the upper platform, a hand winch is used longitudinally, and a forklift is used horizontally to adjust the telescopic amount of the electric cylinder to align the electric cylinder with the upper hinge. However, when assembling the electric cylinder of the simulator, due to the limitations of the installation site, the operator can only repeatedly adjust the position of the forklift or even use manpower to control the lateral position, which has low precision, low efficiency and poor safety. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device and method for quickly installing a simulator electric cylinder, which is used to solve the problems of low precision, low efficiency and poor safety during assembly of the simulator electric cylinder.

[0004] In order to achieve the above tasks, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A device for quickly installing a simulator electric cylinder comprises a first support adjustment module, a second support adjustment module and a third support adjustment module. The three support adjustment modules have the same structure, and each support adjustment module comprises a pair of support adjustment units, wherein:

[0006] The support adjustment unit comprises a support frame, and the bottoms of the support frames of a pair of support adjustment units are respectively fixed at two ends of the same support base; the outer side surface of the support adjustment unit is perpendicular to the upper surface of the support base;

[0008] The outer side surface and the front side surface of the support base are provided with detachable fixed connecting rods, which are used to connect adjacent support adjustment modules, so that the first support adjustment module, the second support adjustment module and the third support adjustment module are connected as a whole and arranged in a triangle.

[0009] Furthermore, the support base is an arc-shaped structure, so that the extended lines of the outer side surfaces of a pair of support adjustment units form an angle of 45° to 60°.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner side surface of the support adjustment unit is an inclined surface, which forms an angle of 60° to 70° with the support base.

[0021] Furthermore, when installing the simulator electric cylinders, the simulator electric cylinders on the same support adjustment module cannot be installed at the same time, and should be installed alternately with the simulator electric cylinders on other support adjustment modules.

[0022] Compared with the previous method of using a hand chain hoist and a forklift to control the lateral and longitudinal positions, the present invention has high precision, high efficiency and high safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
