[0027] Embodiment 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, this embodiment discloses a multi-head earplug rotating shaft bracket, which includes a bracket body. The bracket body includes an upper web 1 and a lower web 2. The structures of the upper web 1 and the lower web 2 are the same. An earplug groove is provided between the upper web 1 and the lower web 2, and an earplug 3 for connecting with an earpiece 4 is installed in the earplug groove. In this embodiment, the number of earplugs 3 is single, and the earplug 3 is designed with an upper and lower structure. An installation groove 31 is provided in the middle of the earplug 3, and the earpiece 4 can be installed in the earplug 3. Specifically, the earpiece 4 is connected to the upper web 1, the lower web 2, and the earplug 3 through a connecting shaft 5. A plurality of corresponding connecting holes are provided on the upper web 1, the lower web 2, the earplug 3, and the earpiece 4. Each connecting shaft 5 passes through the upper web 1, the lower web 2, the earplug 3, and the earpiece 4 to realize the installation and connection of the earpiece 4, making the entire earplug 3 rotating shaft bracket highly stable. In order to further improve the stability of the earplug 3 rotating shaft bracket, edge strips 6 are provided on both sides of the upper web 1 and the lower web 2. The two side edge strips 6 are divided into a left edge strip 6 and a right edge strip 6. The edge strips 6 cover the sides of the upper web 1, the lower web 2, and the earplug 3. Under the action of the edge strips 6, the stability between the upper web 1, the lower web 2, and the earplug 3 is improved, and then the stability of the entire earplug 3 rotating shaft bracket is improved.
[0028] The edges of the upper web 1, lower web 2, and lugs 3 are all arc-shaped structures. Therefore, filling grooves are formed at the joints between the flange 6, upper web 1, and lugs 3. Specifically, filling grooves are provided between the flange 6, upper web 1, and lugs 3, and also between the flange 6, lower web 2, and lugs 3. A filler 7 is arranged in the filling grooves. The filler 7 can improve the stability between the upper web 1 or lower web 2, flange 6, and lugs 3, making their connection tighter and more secure. In order to effectively reduce the weight of the lug 3 rotating shaft bracket, the filler 7 mainly uses lightweight filling materials. These materials include wick strips and foaming glue, which can not only provide the necessary support and stability but also significantly reduce the overall weight. The wick strips, with their unique structure and material, can withstand a certain amount of pressure without deformation, while the foaming glue, with its lightness and good buffering performance, provides additional protection for the rotating shaft bracket. Through such a design, we not only ensure the performance and durability of the bracket but also greatly improve its portability and usage efficiency.
[0029] In this embodiment, the upper web 1, lower web 2, lugs 3, and flange 6 of the lug 3 rotating shaft bracket are integrally co-cured and formed into a single unit. This significantly improves the structural stability of the bracket and greatly enhances its firmness. Through this integrated manufacturing method, the connection between each part is closer, thus ensuring the reliability and durability of the entire bracket under various working conditions.
[0030] Embodiment 2: As Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, the main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, two lugs 3 are arranged up and down in the lug groove, and both of these lugs 3 are connected to the ear pieces 4. The ear pieces 4 form a double-ear piece 4 joint in a "back-to-back" form. At the same time, there are also two fillers 7 to fill the gaps between the lugs 3 and the flange 6, upper web 1, and lower web 2. In addition to the two lugs 3, more lugs 3 can be added according to actual needs to achieve the design of a multi-lug 3 bracket. This design helps to meet the special breakage safety requirements of rotating structures such as wing surfaces and hatch doors, as well as the design requirements for multi-path force transmission.
[0031] Embodiment 3: This embodiment provides a processing method for a multi-lug type lug rotating shaft bracket, including the following steps:
[0032] The co-curing forming process includes: First, prepare the preforms of the upper web 1, lower web 2, lugs 3 and flange 6, which can be made of composite materials such as carbon fiber unidirectional tapes or fabrics. Subsequently, co-curing forming is carried out through a combined mold, which is responsible for forming the inner and outer profiles of the lug 3 bracket and transferring pressure and temperature during the curing process. The combined mold is a metal combined mold, including side molds, top plates, lug 3 mandrels, upper and lower cover plates, etc., constituting a complete mold combination scheme. This scheme can realize the curing forming of the multi-head lug 3 rotating shaft bracket and is applicable to autoclave co-curing and RTM liquid forming processes. During the co-curing forming process, a vacuum bag is encapsulated outside the combined mold. After forming, the edges and inner holes of the bracket are machined, and finally, the lug 4 is installed in the lug 3 through the connecting shaft 5 to form the lug 3 rotating shaft bracket. Compared with the traditional bracket, the lug 3 rotating shaft bracket designed by the present invention is formed by one-time co-curing of composite materials. It is convenient to process and light in weight. The lug 3 type rotating shaft bracket can be connected with a metal joint to realize the interchangeability of the joints. In addition, the multi-head lug 3 bracket web has better stability, which is convenient for overall weight reduction.
[0033] The above disclosure of the embodiments is only for the purpose of better understanding the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made on the basis and within the scope of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
