[0002] Because the upper surface cover (see attached Figure 1 1) and the lower surface part (see attached Figure 1 2) of wing are assembled into one by bolt (see attached Figure 1 3), for ensuring the closure of upper and lower surface of aircraft wing, therefore, when dismounting, because there is no fixed point, dismounting force is large, it is easy to cause the fixed hole of lower surface part, lower part body, upper cover and upper and lower wing surface damage, the existing dismounting method is, using spring clamp to fix the lower surface part (see attached Figure 1 2) of wing, because the upward pushing force of spring clamp is limited, cannot effectively fix the lower surface part of wing, this method not only exists dismounting efficiency low, extremely easy to cause the fixed hole damage of lower surface part due to the up and down movement of part, finally, lead to low installation efficiency of cover, cover and surrounding wing surface because spring clamp cannot effectively fix the part, cause spring clamp to come out of the fixed hole of lower surface part of wing, thereby causing the scratch of lower surface part of wing and the damage of lower skin, simultaneously, because bolt cannot effectively bear force, will cause the cutter cannot effectively screw bolt, cause the damage of upper surface cover of wing and the skin around upper part of wing, urgently need to be solved. SUMMARY

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an efficient aircraft wing lower part positioning method, which can effectively position the lower surface zero point of the wing by one fixed support point and one movable support point, and prevent displacement by using the handles on both sides of the tool to adhere the lower surface part to the lower surface of the wing. The use of the tool can avoid damage to the fixed hole of the lower surface part of the wing, and stably position the lower surface part of the aircraft. Meanwhile, the operator on the upper part of the wing does not need to worry about the instability of the lower surface part of the aircraft, which can cause the operator on the upper surface of the wing to use force effectively, causing scratches on the wing, ensuring the surface quality of the aircraft, and improving the qualified rate of the appearance surface of the aircraft.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the specific technical solutions of the present application are as follows:

[0005] A method for dismounting and mounting a cover of an aircraft hanging point, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Firstly, a special hanging point dismounting and mounting tool is used, as shown in Figure 3Position the fixing holes of the wing lower surface parts. Use the auxiliary handles on both sides of the tool to fit the wing lower surface parts against the wing lower surface to prevent displacement. Finally, use the above-mentioned special attachment point removal and fixing tool to fix the wing lower surface parts in the correct position to meet the frontal and rearward airflow requirements of the aircraft wing lower surface. The operator on the upper part of the wing uses a knife to install the attachment point cover.

[0007] During disassembly, the fixing holes of the parts on the lower surface of the wing are first positioned. The auxiliary handles on both sides of the tool are used to attach the parts on the lower surface of the wing to the lower surface of the wing. Then, the operator on the lower part of the wing uses both hands to push the auxiliary handles upward, while the operator on the upper part of the wing uses a cutting tool to unscrew the bolts. Finally, the parts on the lower surface of the wing and the cover on the upper surface of the wing are removed.

[0008] The specific method is as follows:

[0009] Step 1.1: Using a specialized aircraft mounting point cover damage prevention positioning tool, visually align the distance between the fixed support points and the fixing holes on the two wing underside parts. Adjust the center distance between the fixed and adjustable support points in the aircraft mounting point cover damage prevention positioning tool to match the distance between the fixing holes on the wing underside parts. Secure the adjustable support point by using a hand-tightening nut in conjunction with the lower threaded rod on the adjustable support point and the fixing nut welded to the adjustable support point.

[0010] Step 1.2: First, place the wing underside parts into the wing shaft holes. Using a special aircraft attachment point cover anti-damage positioning tool, hold the auxiliary handle and insert the fixed support point and adjustable fixed support point into the fixing holes of the wing underside parts. Rotate the auxiliary handles on both sides of the aircraft attachment point cover anti-damage positioning tool to adjust the wing underside parts to be flush with the wing.

[0011] Step 1.3: On the lower part of the wing, the operator holds the auxiliary handle upward with both hands, while on the upper part of the wing, the operator passes the bolt through the cover on the upper surface of the wing and uses a screwdriver to tighten the bolt until the cover on the upper surface of the wing is flush with the upper surface of the wing.

[0012] To remove the cover, follow the reverse steps described above:

[0013] Step 2.1: Adjust the center distance between the fixed support and the adjustable support in the aircraft mounting cover damage prevention positioning tool to match the distance between the fixing holes on the lower surface of the wing parts. Secure the adjustable support by using a hand-tightening nut in conjunction with the lower threaded rod on the adjustable support and the fixing nut welded to the adjustable support as a whole.

[0014] Step 2.2: On the lower part of the wing, the operator uses both hands to push the auxiliary handle upwards to prevent the parts on the lower surface of the wing from shifting. On the upper part of the wing, the operator uses a cutting tool to unscrew the bolts on the upper part of the wing.

[0015] Step 2.3: Remove the cover on the upper surface of the wing and the parts on the lower surface of the wing.

[0016] The aforementioned aircraft mounting point cover damage prevention and positioning tool comprises seven parts: a support base with a protective pad, a fixed support point, an adjustable fixed support point, a hand-tightening nut, and threaded auxiliary handles. The protective pad, with grooves and holes, is fixed to the support base using adhesive. The fixed support point is welded to the support base. The adjustable fixed support point and the fixed nut are welded to the adjustable fixed support point. The lower part of the adjustable fixed support point has threads; tightening the hand-tightening nut secures the device by engaging the threads with the support base. The two auxiliary handles are welded to the support base.

[0017] The working principle of this special high-efficiency aircraft mounting point cover anti-damage positioning tool is as follows: First, adjust the adjustable fixing point and the distance between the fixing points to be equal to the fixing holes of the two wing lower surface parts. Tighten the nuts by hand through the threads, insert the adjustable fixing point and the fixing point into the fixing holes of the lower surface parts, and use the auxiliary handles on both sides to fix the wing lower surface parts to the correct position. Then, use the unscrew cutter to remove the bolts for installing and removing the wing upper surface cover until the wing upper surface cover is installed flush with the wing upper surface or the wing upper surface cover and wing lower surface parts are removed, and then put the tool back into the toolbox.

[0018] Advantages of this invention:

[0019] Because of the ingenious design of the special high-efficiency aircraft attachment point cover anti-damage positioning tool, which uses a special aircraft attachment point cover anti-damage positioning tool, it not only ensures that the fixing holes of the parts on the lower surface of the aircraft wing and the upper and lower wing surfaces are not damaged, but also greatly improves the efficiency of aircraft attachment point cover disassembly and installation, while reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
