Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of composite material manufacturing, and relates to an assembly tool for a composite material assembly structure, and specifically relates to assembly process control of an assembly structure composed of a plurality of finished parts, and external dimension detection of the assembly structure. Background Art

[0002] Lightweight, high efficiency and low cost are the goals of aircraft body structure design and manufacturing. To achieve this goal, relevant design and manufacturing departments at home and abroad tend to adopt an integrated structure with high structural efficiency. The use of integrated structures for composite materials can reduce the number of parts and fasteners, thereby achieving the purpose of weight reduction, while also effectively reducing costs, and is widely used in aircraft structures.

[0003] Composite assembly structures are efficient structures with high stiffness / weight ratios. They are typical representatives of integrated structures and are widely used in aircraft structures. Composite assembly structures include inner and outer wall skins, rib parts, closed end rib parts, upper beam parts, lower beam parts, etc.

[0004] According to statistics, in the manufacturing of composite aircraft structures, assembly accounts for about 25% to 50% of the total cost and workload of aircraft manufacturing. The assembly work of composite parts and components is basically divided into two categories. One is that the composite manufacturing unit provides composite components, and the assembly unit is responsible for connecting different composite components to the aircraft main frame through connecting mechanisms, bolt standard parts, and nail standard parts; the other is that the composite manufacturing unit is responsible for assembling the composite assembly structure after completing the manufacturing of the composite components. After the assembly unit receives the composite assembly structure, it only needs to install the composite assembly structure on the aircraft body through hanging intersections, etc., which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the whole machine.

[0005] At present, the research on composite aircraft structure manufacturing is more focused on the design and manufacture of composite components, and the assembly quality of composite assembly structures has a great impact on the assembly quality of the upper level, and even affects the structure and performance of the entire aircraft. The deformation of the composite assembly structure of the new generation of aircraft is small, and it cannot be repaired and processed like metal structures. Therefore, composite assembly structures are scrapped due to assembly quality problems. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the quality of composite parts, especially assembly-related quality.

[0006] From the current design of assembly tooling for composite assembly structures, the positioning parts in the assembly tooling are basically designed into multiple specifications to meet different assembly size requirements. Because the assembly tooling cannot realize the online monitoring function, the external dimensions of the composite assembly structure are generally checked after it is assembled. However, at this time, the external shape of the composite assembly structure cannot be changed.

[0007] Considering that after the composite assembly structure is handed over to the assembly workshop, it only needs to install a small number of connection mechanisms such as metal hinges and hang the intersections before it can be installed on the aircraft body. Therefore, the manufacturing workshop chooses to add the assembly work of the connection mechanism to the manufacturing process of the composite assembly structure to further improve the assembly efficiency.

[0008] Taking the composite sandwich structure in the composite assembly structure as an example, the metal hinge is first connected to the net size position of the edge strip of the beam part in the sandwich structure by standard parts, and then a secondary co-bonding autoclave molding is performed. In this way, the relative position of the metal hinge and the beam part in the sandwich structure remains fixed, but during the secondary co-bonding autoclave molding process, the beam part in the sandwich structure is prone to surface deformation, causing the position of the metal hinge to deviate from the theoretical position, which in turn causes the central axis position of the metal hinge suspension intersection to deviate from the theoretical position, ultimately causing the composite sandwich structure to fail to hang when transferred to the assembly workshop for hanging, and unable to meet the previous level assembly requirements. In severe cases, it may cause the parts to be scrapped. At the same time, because the metal hinge has been connected to the beam part by standard parts, the metal hinge cannot be removed and reconnected with standard parts.

[0009] In addition, the metal hinges have been connected to the beam parts with standard parts, and the composite sandwich structure has certain stresses, such as thermal stress, internal stress, etc. When the shape and size of the composite sandwich structure are measured under this state, it is impossible to truly reflect the shape and size accuracy of the composite sandwich structure. If you want to measure the gap value between the metal joint and the inner surface of the upper beam in the free state of the composite assembly structure, it is impossible. Summary of the invention

[0064] The frame structure comprises an upper cross beam 10 , a lower cross beam 11 , a left vertical beam 12 , a right vertical beam 13 , an upper frame beam 14 , an adjustment support 15 , a side beam 16 , a reinforcement beam 17 , and a target point positioning bushing 18 .

[0065] The upper cross beam 10, the lower cross beam 11, the left vertical beam 12, and the right vertical beam 13 are mechanically connected by screw connection to form a basic rectangular frame. There are two side beams 16, and the middle of the top surface is fixedly connected to the lower end of the left vertical beam 12 and the right vertical beam 13 respectively. The two ends of the bottom surface of the side beam 16 are respectively fixed with adjustment supports 15 for support and balance adjustment. The reinforcement beam 17 is supported between the left vertical beam 12 and the side beam 16 and between the right vertical beam 13 and the side beam 16; the upper frame beam 14 is also a rectangular frame, which is horizontally arranged and fixedly connected above the upper cross beam 10, and a plurality of card plate lock buckles 64 are provided on both sides of the upper frame beam 14; the upper cross beam 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the left vertical beam 12 and the right vertical beam 13. The beam 10, the lower cross beam 11, the left vertical beam 12, the right vertical beam 13, the upper frame beam 14, the adjustment support 15, the side beam 16, and the reinforcement beam 17 are all made of ordinary steel. Under the premise of ensuring the rigidity of the structure, a hollow weight-reducing design of square steel tubes is adopted; the upper cross beam 10, the lower cross beam 11, the left vertical beam 12, and the right vertical beam 13 are all provided with target point positioning bushings 18, and the inner diameter of the positioning bushings 18 is φ6.35mm, which is used for positioning of laser locators, laser radars, etc. The purpose is to establish a positioning relationship between the laser locator, laser radar and the frame structure, so as to locate or inspect the components on the frame structure. In addition, the target point positioning bushings 18 are designed on different beam structures to facilitate the use of laser locators and laser radars in changing positions; a plurality of L-shaped drill molds 46 (see Fig.11 ) is used for drilling holes in the upper beam parts and the rib parts. There are two cases for drilling holes in the upper beam parts and the rib parts. One case is the drilling of standard parts defined by the digital model. The size of the drilling bushing hole on the L-shaped drilling template 46 is φ2.6mm or φ3.1mm. After the initial hole is made, the hole is expanded, reamed, countersunk, etc. are performed in sequence to finally install the standard parts defined by the digital model. The other case is the installation of process standard parts countersunk rivets. The size of the drilling bushing hole on the L-shaped drilling template 46 is φ2.6mm. The nail head is located on the inner surface side of the upper beam part, and the nail head side is not countersunk to facilitate the removal of the subsequent process nails.

[0066] The metal joint part includes a metal joint hanging positioning device 29 and a metal joint 3.

[0067] like Figure 7As shown, the metal joint hanging positioning device 29 includes a vertical spiral positioner 22 and a positioning joint 31. The vertical spiral positioner 22 is a standard part, and the end of its movable section is connected to the positioning joint 31 through a positioning pin, which is used to position and connect the metal joint 3. There are a plurality of metal joint hanging positioning devices 29, which are installed on the upper cross beam 10. The installation position is determined according to the hole making and connection position of the wall panel skin, upper beam parts and rib parts, and the movable section of the vertical spiral positioner 22 faces downward. The vertical spiral positioner 22 is a standard part and can perform telescopic movement. A pin is provided between its movable section and the fixed section, which is used to determine the longitudinal theoretical position of the metal joint 3; the positioning joint 31 is connected to the metal joint 3, and the lateral position of the metal joint 3 is adjusted by inserting an equal thickness insert 30 between the two, so as to finally ensure that the metal joint 3 is in the theoretical position.

[0068] The metal joint 3 is a metal hinge arm 1 (see Figure 3 ) and then simplified, the central axis 2 and the drilling bushing 4 of the intersection of the metal hinge arm are retained, the length of the metal joint 3 along the axial direction of the composite sleeve beam is designed to be 150-200mm, and a through hole with a hole diameter of 6mm-10mm is made based on the central axis 2, which is used to connect with the vertical spiral positioner 22 through the positioning joint 31 to determine the theoretical position; in order to reduce the deadweight of the metal joint 3, the driven shaft and unnecessary structure of the metal hinge arm 1 are removed, and the metal joint 3 mainly retains the working surface, the strengthening ribs, the positioning pin hole, the drilling bushing 4 and other parts (see Figure 4 ), the metal joint 3 is made of Invar steel, and its expansion coefficient is close to that of the composite sleeve beam; the working surface of the metal joint 3 located on the web surface side of the composite sleeve beam is the web surface side 6 of the upper beam part, and the working surface is offset by 2mm to the inner surface of the composite sleeve beam according to the theoretical position, that is, there is a theoretical gap of 2mm between the working surface 6 on the web surface side and the web surface of the composite sleeve beam; the working surface of the metal joint 3 located on the edge strip surface side of the composite sleeve beam is the edge strip surface side 5 of the upper beam part, and the working surface is offset by 0.5 to the inner surface of the composite sleeve beam according to the theoretical position mm, that is, there is a theoretical gap of 0.5 mm between the working surface 5 on the edge strip surface side and the edge strip surface of the composite material sleeve beam. The purpose of the offset between the web surface side 6 of the upper beam part and the edge strip surface side 5 of the upper beam part and the theoretical position is to realize the manufacturing process compensation, measurement and other functions, that is, before curing and molding, a process gap gasket is inserted between the upper beam part and the metal joint 3 in the composite material assembly structure to perform process compensation. After curing and molding, a feeler gauge is used to measure the gap value between the inner surface of the upper beam part and the metal joint 3 in the composite material assembly structure to evaluate the deformation amount of the inner surface of the upper beam.

[0069] The metal joint 3 is equipped with a number of process gap gaskets (common thicknesses are 2mm, 1.9mm, 1.8mm, 1.7mm, 1.6mm, 2.1mm, 2.2mm, 2.3mm, and 2.4mm) to compensate for the gap between the metal joint 3 located on the upper beam web surface side 6 and the upper beam component web surface. The metal joint 3 is equipped with a number of process gap gaskets (common thicknesses are 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, and 0.8mm) to compensate for the gap between the metal joint 3 located on the upper beam edge strip surface side 5 and the upper beam component edge strip surface. Considering that the upper beam component edge strip surface is commonly found in curved surface designs, the metal joint 3 is equipped with a number of gap gaskets generally using a single layer of 0.1mm thick stainless steel sheet or copper sheet. Because stainless steel sheets or copper sheets have certain advantages such as conformability and economy, different numbers of stainless steel sheets or copper sheets are selected according to different compensation gaps.

[0070] The metal joint 3 extends 75-100mm along the edge strip surface side 5 of the upper beam part. The drilling bushing 4 is located on the extension surface of the edge strip surface side 5 of the upper beam part. It is used to drill connecting holes in the connecting area of ​​the upper beam edge strip process allowance and the wall panel skin edge process allowance. The central axis of the drilling bushing 4 should be staggered in space to facilitate operations such as drilling holes in the skeleton in the composite material assembly structure and connecting standard parts without causing spatial interference. The drill bit used in conjunction with the drilling bushing 4 is preferably a 90° angle air drill. Complete process allowances can be retained at the edge of the upper beam part and the edge of the wall panel part. The 90° angle air drill drills along the metal joint drilling bushing 4 from the inside to the outside of the upper beam part edge surface; if a straight shank air drill is selected as the drill bit used in conjunction with the drilling bushing 4, only local process allowances can be retained at the edge of the upper beam part and the edge of the wall panel part. The straight shank air drill drills along the drilling bushing 4 from the outside of the upper beam part edge to the inside. When drilling the drilling bushing 4, the process allowance corresponding to the area outside the upper beam part edge needs to be removed to realize the straight shank air drill drilling operation.

[0071] After the bushing hole 4 is matched with the drilling hole, a high-precision bolt 8 and a nut 9 (see Figure 5 ) connects the parts; among them, the main body of the high-precision bolt 8 is a threaded rod end, which is connected to the thickness area of ​​the process allowance of the upper beam parts, wall panels, etc. through the precision of the polished rod, ensuring the connection accuracy of the high-precision bolt 8 with the metal joint 3, the upper beam parts, and the wall panel skin, and the threaded part is screwed with the nut 9.

[0072] A through hole is designed on the web surface side 6 of the upper beam part of the metal joint 3, wherein the diameter of the through hole is 2-3 mm larger than the diameter of the standard nail head. The detachable drill jig 7 is fitted on the through hole. The diameter of the bushing hole of the detachable drill jig 7 depends on the diameter of the standard nail rod. It is used to drill the connecting holes of the standard parts. After drilling, the drill jig 7 is removed, and the standard parts are used to connect the upper beam parts and the rib parts in the composite material assembly structure. The side of the standard nail head is located on the side of the detachable drill jig 7.

This data comes from the experimental exploration of the relevant composite material assembly structure. The offset must cover the maximum deformation of the largest wall panel skin outer surface, otherwise the first card plate 19 and the second card plate 26 will be unusable; a pin-type card plate end 43 is fixed at one end of each card plate, and is hinged to the connecting seat 21 on the upper crossbeam 10 through a pin shaft 69.

The position remains fixed; the closed end rib part drilling jig 65 is fixed at the upper fixed end base 58 close to the upper beam part part on the second clamping plate 26 through the clamping positioning part 40, which is used to make holes for the closed end rib part. The drilling bushing hole size of the closed end rib part drilling jig 65 is φ2.6mm or φ3.1mm. After the initial hole is made, the hole is expanded, reamed, countersunk, etc. are made in sequence, and finally the standard parts defined by the digital model are installed.

[0075] The outline marking template 27 is a segmented template, which is positioned and fixedly mounted on each first clamping plate 19 and each second clamping plate 26, and is used to cut the outline of the composite material structure. A metal joint drilling backing 28 is installed on the outline marking template 27 at the position corresponding to the metal joint 3 to prevent fiber splitting when drilling the metal joint 3.

[0076] The upper beam component part includes an upper beam positioning measuring part 32, an upper beam component fixed reference end 50, an upper fixed reference end 51 of a closed end rib, an upper beam component adjustable reference end 54, an upper adjustable reference end 55 of a closed end rib, an upper fixed end base 58, and an upper adjustable end base 60.

[0077] The upper fixed end base 58 is fixed to the upper inner side of the right vertical beam 13, and the upper beam part fixed reference end 50 and the closed end rib upper fixed reference end 51 are respectively installed on the upper fixed end base 58 through the clamping positioning parts 40. The action surface of the upper beam part fixed reference end 50 is manufactured by extracting the end surface shape of one side of the upper beam part, and the action surface of the closed end rib upper fixed reference end 51 is manufactured by extracting the end surface shape of one side of the closed end rib part. The two serve as positioning references for the upper beam part and the closed end rib part.

[0078] like Figures 12 to 16As shown, the upper adjustable end base 60 is fixed on the lower surface of the upper cross beam 10 away from the side of the right vertical beam 13, and the upper beam positioning and measuring member 32 is installed on the upper adjustable end base 60, which is a retractable structure. The upper beam part adjustable reference end 54 and the upper adjustable reference end 55 of the closed end rib are respectively installed on the retractable end of the upper beam positioning and measuring member 32 through the clamping positioning member 40, and respectively cooperate with the upper beam part fixed reference end 50 and the upper fixed reference end 51 of the closed end rib to realize the positioning and measurement of the upper beam part and the closed end rib part in the length direction.

[0079] The upper beam positioning measuring part 32 includes a sleeve 35, a slotted screw rod 37, a positioning long pin 38, a T-key 66, and a handle nut 67. A semicircular annular groove is formed at one end of the sleeve 35, and a T-key limiting hole 70 is set on the side of the other end. The middle of the sleeve body is hollowed out, and a sleeve engraved line 36 is formed at the hollowed-out part. The long-line position of the sleeve engraved line 36 is the 0 reference point, and the short-line position interval is 0.1-0.2mm; a boss is provided on the outer axial side of the handle nut 67, which is matched with the semicircular annular groove of the sleeve 35, so that the handle nut 67 can rotate around its own axis in the annular groove, and a threaded through hole is formed on the axial side of the handle nut 67; the outer diameter size of the slotted screw rod 37 matches the inner diameter of the sleeve 35, and one end of the slotted screw rod 37 is screwed to the handle nut 67. Turning the handle nut 67 makes the slotted screw rod 37 move in the sleeve 35, and the other end is fixed to the upper beam part by the clamping positioning member 40 so that it can be adjusted. The reference end 54 and the upper part of the closed end rib are adjustable reference end 55, and the slotted screw 37 is provided with a slot 68 along the length direction. One end of the T-key 66 acts in the slot 68, and the other end acts in the T-key limiting hole 70 of the sleeve 35, so as to limit the movement of the slotted screw 37 along its own axial direction without deflection around the axial direction. The slotted screw 37 is designed with a scale line 34 for cooperating with the sleeve scale line 36 to realize part positioning and measurement, and the long line of the scale line 34 and the sleeve scale line 36 are aligned as the theoretical position; a coaxial through hole 71 is formed at the theoretical position of the sleeve 35 and the slotted screw 37, which is used to insert the positioning long pin 38 to fix the adjustable reference end 54 of the upper beam part and the adjustable reference end 55 of the upper part of the closed end rib at the theoretical position.

[0080] The rotating handle nut 67 drives the slotted screw rod 37 to move along its axial direction, which can not only determine the theoretical position of the upper beam component assembly as the upper beam component assembly reference, but also determine the upper beam component assembly after the qualified inspection reference. Through the design of the upper beam positioning measuring piece 32, a large number of upper beam component assembly fixtures of different specifications are greatly saved, and the upper beam component position can be measured quickly and effectively. The upper beam positioning and measuring part 32 is located on the adjustable side of the assembly tooling, and can realize the positioning and measurement functions of the upper beam parts and the closed ribs in the length direction. That is, the adjustable reference end 54 of the upper beam part is fixed on the upper beam positioning and measuring part 32 by the clamping positioning part 40, and the upper beam part can be positioned and measured in the length direction. The upper adjustable reference end 55 of the closed end rib is fixed on the upper beam positioning and measuring part 32 by the clamping positioning part 40, and the closed end rib part can be positioned and measured in the length direction; the upper adjustable reference end 55 of the closed end rib is integrated with a drilling jig sleeve, and the drilling bushing hole size of the drilling jig sleeve is φ2.6mm or φ3.1mm. After the initial hole is manufactured, the hole is expanded, reamed, countersunk, etc. are performed in turn, and finally the standard parts defined by the digital model are installed.

[0082] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the lower beam part positioning plate 20 is a strip with an L-shaped cross section, with a horizontal plate at the bottom, fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the lower cross beam 11, and a variety of positioning parts are installed on it, which are used to limit the width and thickness directions of the lower beam parts, including an L-shaped screw fastener 47 for limiting the width direction of the lower beam parts, a pressure plate 48 for limiting the thickness direction of the lower beam parts, and a clamp 49 for limiting the thickness direction of the lower beam parts. The lower beam part positioning plate 20 is also fixed with a screw tightener 45 for clamping the thickness direction of the lower beam parts; the lower beam part positioning plate 20 is fixedly installed with a drilling jig 44 through the clamping positioning member 40, which is used to drill the standard connection hole of the lower beam parts and the rib parts. Except for special cases, the drilling jig 44 is generally a standard installation process part. The bushing hole size of the drilling jig 44 is φ2.6mm. The process standard part selects double-sided countersinking. In addition to the nail head being located on the countersinking side, the head should also be located on the countersinking side to avoid the process standard part interfering with the placement of the wall panel skin.

[0083] The lower fixed end base 59 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the lower cross beam 11 close to the right vertical beam 13, and the lower beam part fixed reference end 52 and the closed end rib lower fixed reference end 53 are fixedly mounted on the lower fixed end base 59, serving as the positioning reference for the length direction of the lower beam part and the closed end rib part.

[0084] The lower adjustable end base 61 is fixed to the lower inner side of the left vertical beam 12, and the lower beam positioning measuring member 33 passes through the left vertical beam 12 and is fixedly installed on the lower adjustable end base 61. Fig.17 and 18 As shown, the lower beam positioning and measuring part 33 is able to control the overall size of the assembly tooling through the left vertical beam 12. The lower beam positioning and measuring part 33 has the same structure as the upper beam positioning and measuring part 32, and is a retractable structure. The adjustable reference end 56 of the lower beam part and the adjustable reference end 57 of the lower part of the closed end rib are respectively installed on the retractable end of the lower beam positioning and measuring part 33 through the clamping positioning part 40, and cooperate with the fixed reference end 52 of the lower beam part and the fixed reference end 53 of the lower part of the closed end rib to realize the positioning and measurement of the lower beam part and the closed end rib part in the length direction.

[0085] The method of using the assembly tool of the composite material assembly structure is as follows:

[0086] 1. Open the first and second clamps 19 and 26 to the outside and hang them on the clamp lock 64 on the upper frame beam 14 to ensure that the upper beam parts, lower beam parts, rib parts, wall panel parts, end rib parts and metal joints 3 can be placed on the assembly tooling.

[0087] 2. Rotate the hand wheel of the vertical spiral positioner 22 to make axial movement, insert the latch when the theoretical position is reached, and at the same time, insert the positioning pin to connect the positioning joint 31 to ensure that the positioning joint 31 is located at the theoretical position.

[0088] 3. The metal joint 3 establishes a preliminary positioning relationship with the positioning joint 31 through the positioning pin, and then inserts a plug 30 of equal thickness between the metal joint 3 and the positioning joint 31 to finally ensure that the metal joint 3 is located at the theoretical position.

[0089] 4. Install the upper beam part fixing reference end 50 and the lower beam part fixing reference end 52.

[0090] 5. Install the upper beam part adjustable reference end 54 on the upper beam positioning and measuring member 32. Install the lower beam part adjustable reference end 56 on the lower beam positioning and measuring member 33.

[0091] 6. Rotate the handle nut 67 to move the upper beam part adjustable reference end 54 and the lower beam part adjustable reference end 56 away from one end surface of the upper beam part and the lower beam part in the long side direction, leaving sufficient space for the placement and positioning of the upper beam part and the lower beam part.

[0092] 7. Preliminary positioning of the upper beam parts. Insert a certain thickness of gap pieces between the upper beam parts and the upper beam parts edge strip surface side 5 and the upper beam parts web surface side 6. The end surface of one side of the upper beam parts in the long side direction is preliminarily fitted with the upper beam parts fixed reference end 50. Put down the first and second clamping plates 19 and 26 on the open side, and clamp them on the hinged lock fork 23 of the connecting seat 21 of the lower cross beam 11. Install the upper beam parts support 39 on the first and second clamping plates 19 and 26, and use the upper beam parts support 39 to support the upper beam parts to prevent the upper beam parts from falling.

[0093] The upper beam part is finally positioned. The upper beam part adjustable reference end 54 moves along the long side direction of the upper beam part, the purpose is to ensure that one side end face of the upper beam part in the long side direction is fully fitted with the upper beam part fixed reference end 50. The upper beam part support 39 is used to tighten the upper beam part.

[0094] 8. Based on the first clamping plate 19 and the second clamping plate 26, use a 90° angle air drill to drill a hole in the upper beam part along the drilling bushing 4 on the beam edge surface 5 of the metal joint 3. After the drilling is completed, use high-precision bolts 8 and nuts 9 to connect the metal joint 3 and the upper beam part.

[0095] 9. Preliminary positioning of the lower beam component: One end surface of the lower beam component in the long side direction is preliminarily fitted with the fixed reference end 52 of the lower beam component, and one end surface of the lower beam component in the width direction is preliminarily fitted with the positioning plate 20 of the lower beam component.

[0096] The lower beam part is finally positioned. The adjustable reference end 56 of the lower beam part moves along the end face direction of the long side of the upper beam part so that one end face of the long side of the lower beam part is fully fitted with the fixed reference end 52 of the lower beam part. The lower beam part is fixed by using the L-shaped screw fastener 47 of the lower beam part, the pressing plate 48 in the thickness direction of the lower beam part, and the clamp 49 in the thickness direction of the lower beam part.

[0097] 10. Rib part positioning. The rib part limiting member 41 is installed on the first clamping plate 19 and the second clamping plate 26. The rib part limiting member 41 limits the rib part edge strip surface and the rib part web surface respectively through two limiting surfaces 42. The rib part tightening device 62 tightens the rib part to ensure the fixation of the rib part.

[0098] 11. Standard connection of upper beam parts, lower beam parts and rib parts

[0099] The metal joint 3 and the L-shaped drilling template 46 are used to drill the standard connection holes between the upper beam part and the rib part.

[0100] There are two cases for drilling holes in the upper beam parts and the rib parts. One case is the drilling of standard parts defined by the digital model. The size of the bushing hole on the L-shaped drilling template 46 is φ2.6mm or φ3.1mm. After the initial hole is made, the hole is expanded, reamed, countersunk, etc. are performed in sequence to finally install the standard parts defined by the digital model. The other case is the installation of process standard parts. The process standard parts are preferably HB6306-2.5xY90° countersunk rivets. The size of the bushing hole on the L-shaped drilling template 46 is φ2.6mm, and the nail head is located on the inner surface side of the upper beam part. The nail head side is not countersunk to facilitate the subsequent removal of the process nails.

[0101] Use the drill jig 44 on the positioning plate of the lower beam parts to drill the standard connecting holes between the upper beam parts and the rib parts. Except for special circumstances, the process standard parts are generally installed. The process standard parts are preferably HB6306-2.5xY. The bushing hole size of the drill jig 44 is φ2.6mm. The process standard parts choose double-sided countersinking. In addition to the nail head being located on the countersinking side, the heading should also be located on the countersinking side to avoid the process standard parts interfering with the placement of the wall panel skin.

[0102] 12. Standard connection between the wall panel skin and the upper beam parts and lower beam parts

[0103] Remove the high-precision bolts 8 and nuts 9 connecting the metal joint 3 and the upper beam parts, and install the wall panel skin.

[0104] The 90° angle air drill is used again to drill connection holes along the metal joint 3, and high-precision bolts 8 and nuts 9 are used to connect the metal joint 3, the upper beam parts and the inner and outer wall panels.

[0105] 13. Install the closed end rib parts

[0106] The closed end rib part is initially positioned and the closed end rib part is initially fitted with the upper fixed reference end 51 of the closed end rib and the lower fixed reference end 53 of the closed end rib.

[0107] The end rib part is finally positioned. The upper adjustable reference end 55 of the closed end rib and the lower adjustable reference end 57 of the closed end rib are used to move along the end face direction of the closed end rib part so that the end face of the closed end rib part is fully fitted with the upper fixed reference end 51 of the closed end rib and the lower fixed reference end 53 of the closed end rib.

[0108] The default closed end rib part edge has a 2-5mm process margin for coordination in the closed end rib assembly process. According to the spanwise dimension control requirements of the composite material assembly structure along the end rib direction, the upper beam positioning measuring piece 32 and the lower beam positioning measuring piece 33 are used to adjust the upper adjustable reference end 55 of the closed end rib and the lower adjustable reference end 57 of the closed end rib. When the scale line 34 on the screw rod coincides with the long and medium lines of the sleeve scale line 36, it is the theoretical position of 0 point.
