[0002] Ground service equipment refers to various equipment used to support aircraft docking at airports, including but not limited to various ground handling vehicles, boarding bridges, gangways, maintenance stands, and baggage handling equipment. Since these ground service equipment are usually used when the aircraft is docked on the ground, their accidental collision with the aircraft fuselage structure has become a common cause of damage to the fuselage structure of civil aircraft. According to surveys, up to 50% of serious damage to the fuselage structure of civil aircraft is caused by accidental collisions with baggage loading and unloading vehicles during operation, and 60% of minor damage is related to direct contact with airport ground vehicles or equipment.

[0003] In the new generation of aircraft, composite wall panel structures are widely used. Although such structures will not show obvious structural deformation, pits, cracks and other visually visible damage when hit, they may cause serious damage inside the structure. These internal damages may include the destruction of the fuselage frame, debonding of ribs or shear bands, shear failure of bolts and fracture of ribs, etc. These damages will seriously reduce the performance of the aircraft structure and may pose a threat to flight safety.

[0004] In order to ensure the safety of aircraft during service, it is essential to conduct low-speed impact tests on composite structures of aircraft fuselages using ground service equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, a horizontal transverse plate is provided at the middle position of the support frame 4 to enhance the supporting capacity of the entire support frame 4 .

[0035] See also Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, the vertical compression stiffness simulation device 3 includes a vertical support plate 301 and a plurality of vertical stiffness simulation spring assemblies 302.

[0040] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7Each bending stiffness simulation device 2 includes a connecting plate 201 , a rotating shaft 202 , a longitudinal connecting plate 207 , a longitudinal fixing plate 208 , a horizontal fixing plate 209 and a U-shaped connecting member 2010 .

[0041] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The longitudinal connecting plate 207 and the vertical supporting plate 301 are parallel. The longitudinal connecting plate 207 and the vertical supporting plate 301 in the upper row of the bending stiffness simulation device 2 are fixedly connected by bolts, and the longitudinal connecting plate 207 and the vertical supporting plate 301 in the lower row of the bending stiffness simulation device 2 are slidingly connected. The front end of each longitudinal connecting plate 207 is fixedly connected to two longitudinal fixing plates 208 and a horizontal fixing plate 209, and the lower ends of the two longitudinal fixing plates 208 are connected to the horizontal fixing plate 209. The longitudinal connecting plates 207, the longitudinal fixing plates 208 and the horizontal fixing plates 209 are perpendicular to each other.

[0042] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The longitudinal fixing plate 208 is divided into a protruding portion 2081 and a recessed portion 2082 which are connected in one piece. The protruding portion 2081 is on the upper side of the recessed portion 2082. The width of the protruding portion 2081 is greater than that of the recessed portion 2082, that is, the protruding portion 2081 protrudes further forward than the recessed portion 2082. A rotating shaft 202 is fixedly connected between the two protruding portions 2081, and a connecting plate 201 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 202.

[0044] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The torsional stiffness simulation spring assembly 203 includes a push plate 2031, two connecting screws 2032, two torsional compression springs 2033 and a limit plate 2034. The rear end of each connecting screw 2032 passes through the push plate 2031 and is connected to the middle part of a U-shaped connector 2010, and the front ends of the two connecting screws 2032 are connected to the limit plate 2034. A torsional compression spring 2033 is sleeved on each connecting screw 2032, and the torsional compression spring 2033 is compressed between the push plate 2031 and the limit plate 2034. The rear end of the push plate 2031 and the front end of the lower part of the connecting plate 201 are against each other. The design of the torsional stiffness simulation spring assembly 203 is based on the lever principle to convert torsional stiffness into linear stiffness, which further reduces the test difficulty of the entire equivalent simulation device.

[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 A plurality of bolt holes are provided on the connecting plate 201, which is connected to the bulkhead 103 by a plurality of bolts. The upper end of the bulkhead 103 is connected to the connecting plate 201 in the upper row of the compression and bending stiffness simulation device 2, and the lower end is connected to the connecting plate 201 in the lower row of the compression and bending stiffness simulation device 2, so that the local wall panel test piece 1 is connected to the boundary stiffness equivalent simulation device.

[0046] As a preferred solution, each bulkhead 103 is connected with a corresponding compression-bending stiffness simulation device 2 .

[0047] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 The connecting plate 201 is divided into a rotating connecting part 2011 and a supporting connecting part 2012 which are connected in one piece. The rotating connecting part 2011 is connected to the rotating shaft 202. The width of the rotating connecting part 2011 is greater than the width of the supporting connecting part 2012. From the supporting connecting part 2012 to the rotating connecting part 2011, the width of the entire connecting plate 201 gradually increases. The setting of this structure can enhance the connection strength between the entire connecting plate 201 and the rotating shaft 202. The bottom of the rotating connecting part 2011 extends into the rear end of the pushing plate 2031, and the front end of the rotating connecting part 2011 and the rear end of the pushing plate 2031 are against each other. The supporting connecting part 2012 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes for bolting with the bulkhead 103.

[0048] As a preferred solution, the support connection part 2012 is arc-shaped, and the curvature is the same as the curvature of the bulkhead 103. Since the support connection part 2012 and the bulkhead 103 are connected over a large area, the same curvature is set in combination, which can enhance the connection strength between the two.

[0049] See 5 and Figure 7A set of longitudinal stiffness simulation spring components 205 is arranged at the lower end of each lower row of bending stiffness simulation devices 2, that is, the number of longitudinal stiffness simulation spring components 205 matches the number of lower row of bending stiffness simulation devices 2, providing a certain vertical support force for the lower row of bending stiffness simulation devices 2 and simulating longitudinal stiffness at the same time. The longitudinal stiffness simulation spring components 205 include a horizontal support plate 2051, a limit ring 2052 and a longitudinal support spring 2053. The horizontal support plate 2051 is fixedly arranged at the front end of the vertical support plate 301, and a plurality of limiting rings 2052 are fixedly arranged on the horizontal support plate 2051. The limiting rings 2052 are sleeved outside the longitudinal support spring 2053. The limiting rings 2052 and the longitudinal support spring 2053 correspond to each other and are coaxial. The upper end of the longitudinal support spring 2053 is connected to the horizontal fixed plate 209, and the lower end is connected to the horizontal support plate 2051. When the longitudinal support spring 2053 is compressed, the limiting ring 2052 can prevent the longitudinal support spring 2053 from deviating from the vertical direction. It should be understood that the height of the limiting ring 2052 is lower than the height of the longitudinal support spring 2053, so that the longitudinal support spring 2053 has enough compression space.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The upper row of compression bending stiffness simulation devices 2 and the lower row of compression bending stiffness simulation devices 2 are arranged opposite to each other, that is, the connection plates 201 in the upper row of compression bending stiffness simulation devices 2 are arranged downward, and the connection plates 201 in the lower row of compression bending stiffness simulation devices 2 are arranged upward. During the test, a bulkhead 103 is connected to the upper connection plate 201 and the lower connection plate 201, respectively, and both ends are constrained.

[0051] As a preferred solution, the total number of the bending stiffness simulation devices 2 in the upper row and the bending stiffness simulation devices 2 in the lower row is not less than 6 sets, each row is provided with three bending stiffness simulation devices 2, and the bending stiffness simulation devices 2 in the upper row and the bending stiffness simulation devices 2 in the lower row correspond one to one in the vertical direction.

[0052] The present invention adopts a distributed stiffness simulation method, and equates the continuous stiffness boundary to a distributed stiffness simulation applied to the bulkhead 103, thereby ensuring the test accuracy and reducing the difficulty of loading.

[0053] The local panel test piece 1 is a part of the fuselage frame, such as Figure 2As shown, in the actual aircraft structure, the local panel test piece 1 is a part of the fuselage frame and is elastically supported by other parts of the fuselage frame. Therefore, during the test, no fixed boundary is used for the local panel test piece 1. In the actual test process, in order to facilitate the design of the support device, the boundary stiffness of the local panel test piece 1 is decoupled into three components: torsional stiffness, longitudinal stiffness and vertical stiffness. Since the lateral stiffness (both sides) has little effect on the impact response, the free boundary equivalence is adopted. In contrast, the vertical stiffness is equivalently simulated by the vertical stiffness simulation spring assembly 302, the longitudinal stiffness is equivalently simulated by the longitudinal stiffness simulation spring assembly 205, and the torsional stiffness is equivalently simulated by the torsional stiffness simulation spring assembly 203. The upper and lower ends of the local panel test piece 1 are connected to the bending stiffness simulation device 2, and its outer surface is subjected to the low-speed impact of the ground service equipment.

[0054] The second aspect of the present invention discloses a simulation method based on the above-mentioned aircraft panel impact test boundary stiffness equivalent simulation device, and the simulation method comprises the following steps: Step 1, according to the fuselage barrel section structure, size and material, as well as the size and position of the local panel test piece 1 on the frame, calculate the longitudinal stiffness value, torsional stiffness value and vertical stiffness value of the panel boundary stiffness simulation device; Step 2, according to the longitudinal stiffness value, the torsional stiffness value and the vertical stiffness value, install the torsional stiffness simulation spring assembly 203, the longitudinal stiffness simulation spring assembly 205 and the vertical stiffness simulation spring assembly 302 that meet the stiffness requirements; Step 3, installing the local wall panel test piece 1 on the equivalent simulation device; Step 4, installing the soft punch and punch actuator for the impact test, and completing the system debugging of the punch actuator; Step 5, performing a small load actuation loading on the local wall panel test piece 1, and comparing the load displacement curve of the punch actuator with the simulation result of the barrel section loading; Step 6: If the comparison result in step 5 does not meet the requirements, adjust or replace the longitudinal support spring 2053, the torsion compression spring 2033 and the vertical compression spring 3022, and re-load with a small load until the comparison value between the load displacement curve of the punch actuator and the simulation result of the barrel loading is less than the set value; Step 7, start the formal low-speed impact test of the ground service equipment. During the low-speed impact test, the vertical compression stiffness simulation device 3 is subjected to a vertical force, the vertical support plate 301 is forced to move backward, and the vertical compression spring 3022 is compressed to realize the simulation of the vertical stiffness; the longitudinal support spring 2053 is subjected to the downward pressure of the bending stiffness simulation device, and the longitudinal support spring 2053 is compressed. When it is compressed to the limit or the horizontal fixed plate 209 and the limit ring 2052 are in contact, the compression limit is reached, and the decomposition simulation of the longitudinal stiffness is realized. At the same time, the connecting plate 201 rotates around the rotating shaft 202, and the rotating connecting part 2011 moves forward, pushing the push plate 2031 to move forward, and the torsional compression spring 2033 is compressed to realize the decomposition simulation of the torsional stiffness.

[0055] It should be noted that the impact test analysis in the present invention specifically refers to low-speed impact test analysis, and low-speed impact generally refers to impact with a speed range of 0-5 m / s.

[0056] A local wall panel structure is used to replace the overall fuselage barrel section structure, and boundary stiffness simulation is used to ensure that the simulated boundary stiffness of the local wall panel structure is consistent with the boundary in the actual barrel section structure, thereby ensuring the consistency of the overall deformation of the local wall panel structure with the overall barrel section structure. While ensuring the test accuracy, the test cost and the difficulty of developing the test equipment are greatly reduced.
