[0052] The simple test platform for the aircraft tail provided by the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a simple test platform for an aircraft tail wing includes: a first box section partition assembly 1, a second box section partition assembly 2, a third box section partition assembly 3, a fourth box section partition assembly 4, a first group of docking double-ear joints 5, a second group of docking double-ear joints 6, a base 7, a skin 8, a first joint support assembly 9, a second joint support assembly 10, a small partition 11, a platform upper end surface assembly 12, and a platform lower end surface assembly 13.

[0054] A simple test platform for an aircraft tail wing is a riveted assembly, which is divided into three layers from top to bottom. The first layer is an upper surface assembly 12 of the platform; the second layer is a lower surface assembly 13 of the platform; and the third layer is a base 7.

[0055] The upper end face assembly 12 of the first platform includes a fifth profile, a trapezoidal plate and a rectangular plate. The fifth profile is divided into a reinforced profile and a common profile. The reinforced profile is arranged on both sides of the trapezoidal plate and is connected to the first group of tail joints and the second group of tail joints, while transmitting the tail heading load; the common profile is arranged in parallel on both sides of the rectangular plate, and the rectangular plate is arranged above the trapezoidal plate, with the first box section partition assembly 1 and the fourth box section partition assembly 4 connected at both ends, and the symmetry axes of the rectangular plate and the trapezoidal plate are consistent. In order to reduce the weight of the structure and provide a construction passage at the same time, concentric holes are provided between the rectangular plate and the trapezoidal plate between each partition assembly. The common profile and the rectangular plate in the fifth profile together constitute a reinforcement structure of the opening area of ​​the upper end face assembly 12 on the platform, which is used to reinforce the weakening of the plate caused by the opening of the trapezoidal plate and improve the stability of the plate.

[0056] The second-layer platform lower end surface component 13 includes: a third profile, a fourth profile and a plurality of third plates; the third plates are trapezoidal.

[0057] A third plate is connected between the first box segment partition assembly 1 and the first joint support assembly 9, between the first joint support assembly 9 and the second box segment partition assembly 2, between the second box segment partition assembly 2 and the third box segment partition assembly 3, between the third box segment partition assembly 3 and the second joint support assembly 10, and between the second joint support assembly 10 and the fourth box segment partition assembly 4;

[0058] The third profiles are connected to the oblique edges on both sides of each third plate;

[0059] The fourth profiles are arranged parallel to each other along the heading direction and are connected to the third plate.

[0060] The platform lower end surface component 13 is used to simulate the support of the tail connection area wall panel to the tail docking platform.

[0061] The third layer is the base 7, which is a 60 mm thick steel plate and is used to constrain the entire device.

[0062] The utility model discloses a simple test platform for an aircraft tail wing, which is divided into a front joint box section area, a middle platform area and a rear joint box section area from front to rear according to joint positions.

[0063] The front joint box section area is composed of a first box section bulkhead assembly 1, a first group of docking double-ear joints 5, a first joint support assembly 9, a second box section bulkhead assembly 2, a platform upper end surface assembly 12, and a platform lower end surface assembly 13; the front box section area is mainly used to simulate the fuselage tail wing front joint connection area and diffuse the tail wing vertical and lateral loads.

[0064] The middle platform area is composed of two small partitions 11, a platform upper surface assembly 12, and a platform lower surface assembly 13. The middle platform area is used to simulate the support provided by the fuselage tail platform to the connection area, and the small partition 11 is used to support the stability of the platform area.

[0065] The rear joint box section area is composed of the third box section bulkhead assembly 3, the second set of docking double-ear joints 6, the second joint support assembly 10, the fourth box section bulkhead assembly 4, the platform upper end surface assembly 12, and the platform lower end surface assembly 13. The rear joint box section area is used to simulate the fuselage tail rear joint connection area and diffuse the tail vertical and lateral loads.

[0066] Finally, skins 8 are arranged on both sides of the device to improve the overall stability and strength of the platform.

[0067] Through a large number of simulations and component calculations in the early stage, the main influencing areas and load transfer characteristics of the test were obtained, and the components of the platform were designed and fixed at the bottom, which can not only meet the elastic static support required for the test, but also avoid the waste of construction time, materials and labor costs caused by using the original structure (the whole aircraft). Compared with the test of the original structure (the whole aircraft), a simple test platform for the tail of an aircraft has lower requirements on the size of the test site and the hoisting equipment of the test piece.

[0068] 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.
