Currently, only manual filling methods can be used: first apply protective tape to the aircraft structure, manually fill the reserved area with sealant, use a scraper to shape the sealant before the sealant solidifies, and finally remove the protective tape. This method wastes sealant, has a long production cycle, low work efficiency, and low glue adjustment quality.

[0004] The existing process method can only use the manual filling method: first stick protective tape on the aircraft structure, manually fill the reserved area with sealant, use a scraper to shape the sealant before the sealant cures, and finally remove the protective tape.

[0005] Disadvantages of existing process methods: This method wastes sealant, manual filling of corners is prone to bubbles, pinholes and other faults, long assembly cycle, low work efficiency and low glue adjustment quality. Summary of the invention

[0010] The long straight line L2, the inner fold line L1 and the arc line L3 are connected end to end in sequence to form the irregular contour;

[0011] The outer side wall of the injection port corresponding to the inner fold line L1 forms a right-angled indentation of the same shape, and the right-angled indentation continues from the injection port corresponding to the inner fold line L1 to form two mutually perpendicular wall surfaces, namely the first wall surface and the second wall surface; the inner fold line L1 is composed of two mutually perpendicular short straight lines, the first short straight line connects the long straight line L2 and corresponds to the first wall surface, and the second short straight line connects the arc line L3 and corresponds to the second wall surface;

[0012] The first wall surface is used to laterally abut against the vertical surface of the step edge and form a sliding fit, and the second wall surface is used to press against the upper plane of the step edge and form a sliding fit; when injecting glue, the first wall surface and the second wall surface can provide sliding support for the injection head.

[0013] Furthermore, the length of the long straight line L2 is greater than the length of the second short straight line.
