[0027] The following will make a detailed description of the three-way loading component for the static test of the aircraft external suspension structure provided by the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As Figure 1-4 shown, the three-way loading component for the static test of the aircraft external suspension structure provided by the present invention includes: two side wall plates in the shape of a Chinese character "ri", a cross beam, and a skin;

[0029] The two side wall plates in the shape of a Chinese character "ri" are connected by a cross beam to form a rectangular frame structure, and the skin is arranged on both sides of the rectangular frame structure to form a loading component box section;

[0030] A hoisting lug 1 is arranged above the side wall plate, a vertical load lug 3 is arranged below, a course load lug 2 is arranged at the outer bottom, and lateral load lugs 4 are arranged at the top and bottom of the side.

[0031] The hoisting lug 1 is a connection joint with the hoisting box section, with a quantity of 2; the course load lug 2 is a vertical and course connection joint, with a quantity of 2; the vertical load lug 3 is a connection joint with the vertical direction, with a quantity of 2; the lateral load lug 4 is a lateral and vertical connection joint, with a quantity of 4.

[0032] Based on the CFD calculation results of the whole aircraft and the analysis data of the wind tunnel pressure measurement test in the early stage, the load magnitude and pressure center situation in each direction of the suspended object load are established, so as to determine which parts of the loading dummy must be the same as the real part and how to arrange the lugs in each direction, thereby obtaining the final loading component.

[0033] In the present invention, the hoisting lug 1 is a joint connected to the hoisting box section, with a quantity of 2, and its structure is completely the same as the real structure; the course load lug 2 is a lug for transmitting the course load and also has the ability to transmit the vertical load, with a quantity of 1 at the front and 1 at the back, a total of 2, and the thickness of the lug is 25 mm; the vertical load lug 3 is a lug for transmitting the vertical load, the thickness of the lug is 25 mm, and the vertical load is the maximum load, arranged in 2; the lateral load lug 4 is a lug for transmitting the lateral load and also has the ability to transmit the vertical load, with a quantity of 4 including the upper, lower, and left ones, and the thickness of the lug is 25 mm.

[0034] Based on the CFD calculation results of the whole aircraft and the analysis data of the wind tunnel pressure measurement test in the early stage, the load magnitude and pressure center situation in each direction of the suspended object load are analyzed. The loads include the forward course load, the downward vertical load, and the lateral load. Different suspended object loads, combined with the loading component, form different configurations. When the aircraft is flying under different working conditions, there will also be different centers of gravity and aerodynamic pressure centers. As Figure 3 shown, the aerodynamic pressure center of Configuration 1 is behind the wing-mounted box section, and the aerodynamic pressure center of Configuration 2 is in front of the wing-mounted box section. Comparatively speaking, the lateral load of Configuration 2 is the largest and it is far from the centroid of the pylon, which will generate a relatively large bending moment on the connection joint.

[0035] The three-way loaders of the external structure static test are connected to the wing box section joints through two joints. In order to make the loader structure transmit force most directly and not generate additional bending moment at the joints, the length of the loaders is consistent with the distance between the wing box section joints, such as Figure 2 .

[0036] Due to the limitation of the space at the test site, the width of the loading part is required to be as small as possible, and it must meet the strength and stiffness design requirements. At the same time, in order to make the structure simple to manufacture, transfer the load directly, and not generate additional load and bending moment, the width of the loading part is required to be symmetrical, and the pneumatic pressure center and the center of gravity are set on the symmetrical center plane of the width. The loading part structure transmits force most directly. The width restriction condition of the loading dummy is that it can be installed by superimposing the width of the two side struts (i.e., beams) and the width of the middle joint. See Figure 4 .

[0037] Due to the limitations of the test site space and the specifications of the actuator to be installed, the loading part is required to be as short as possible. From the perspective of load transmission direction, the higher the height, the longer the lever arm and the smaller the load on the joint. In this way, a smaller actuator can be selected, which requires less installation space and is more convenient for loading.

[0038] From the perspective of the loading joints, the load center of gravity and pressure center must be between the lateral upward joint and the lateral downward joint so that the joints on each side can be loaded in the same direction for easy loading. This requires that the dummy must be at least higher than the aerodynamic pressure center of configuration 2 in the vertical direction and facilitate the installation of the joint.

[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
