Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft assembly, and relates to an integrated tooling and inspection method for a hanging C-shaped slide rail. Background Technique

[0002] The aircraft hanging assembly technology is a key link in the modern aircraft manufacturing process, involving the installation and fixation of large components such as aircraft engines and wings. With the rapid development of the aviation industry, aircraft designs are becoming increasingly complex. There are many connection intersections between the aircraft hanging and the engine and wings, and high positional accuracy requirements are imposed. Any minor deviation may lead to a decline in aircraft performance or safety hazards. The aircraft hanging is assembled from a hanging section, a hanging nacelle skeleton, a hanging skin, and a hanging slide rail. Through the innovation of assembly technology to improve the assembly accuracy of the hanging slide rail and ensure product stability has always been the continuous work goal of engineers in the field of civil aircraft hanging slide rail assembly and processing.

[0003] The traditional assembly method for the hanging C-shaped slide rail uses fixed-size positioning pins for positioning, and only one assembly compensation is carried out during the positioning stage. Since the fixed-size positioning pins have high requirements for the manufacturing accuracy of parts, the difficulty of part processing is increased. And only one assembly compensation is carried out, so that the errors in the assembly process cannot be eliminated, and the assembly accuracy of the product cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the traditional assembly method for the hanging C-shaped slide rail cannot detect whether the axis positional accuracy is qualified during the assembly process, and can only be detected after the assembly is completed and taken off the shelf. At the same time, due to the lack of detection during the assembly process, it is impossible to judge whether the positional accuracy of the slide rail meets the requirements, thus increasing the risk of unqualified products flowing into the next process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an integrated tooling and inspection method for a hanging C-shaped slide rail, which can realize the detection of the position state of the slide rail throughout the assembly process, solve the design of the assembly tooling for the hanging C-shaped slide rail and the inspection of the axis positional accuracy of the slide rail, improve the detectability of the axis of the hanging C-shaped slide rail, effectively improve the assembly accuracy of the hanging C-shaped slide rail, and ensure the stability of the assembly quality.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] An integrated tooling and inspection device for a hanging C-shaped slide rail, the integrated tooling and inspection device includes a main frame, a main locator module, a slide rail inspection module, and a drill jig module.

[0007] The main frame is a rectangular frame structure, and multiple sets of support frames are arranged at different positions of the rectangular frame according to the aircraft hanging inspection requirements; the main frame serves as the fixed basis for the main locator module, the slide rail inspection module, and the drill jig module, and at the same time establishes the basis for the product assembly reference.

[0008] The described main locator module includes an engine front mount locator, an engine rear mount locator, a positioning auxiliary support, and a wing lower joint locator. The engine front mount locator includes two left and right joints fixedly connected by a connecting plate. The engine front mount locator is detachably and fixedly installed between two columns at one end of the main frame and is connected to the front end of the hanging section through a positioning pin. The positioning auxiliary support is fixed on the main frame below the engine front mount locator, and two rubber wheels are provided at its top for contacting the hanging section. The rubber wheels can be adjusted up and down for fine adjustment in the vertical direction during the positioning of the hanging section. The engine rear mount locator is fixed between the bottom cross beams on both sides near the other end of the main frame. The top surface of the engine rear mount locator serves as the support surface for the engine rear mount. A telescopic positioning pin is provided on the top surface to facilitate the telescopic positioning pin to fall into the engine rear mount hole at the rear end of the hanging section to achieve positioning. A tab is provided at the head of the telescopic positioning pin for cooperation with the card slot in the engine rear mount hole to achieve fixed limit. The wing lower joint locator, as an auxiliary locator, is fixed at one end of the main frame near the engine rear mount locator and is used to connect to the wing lower joint of the hanging section through a positioning pin. This positioning pin is a stepped pin to avoid over-positioning of the hanging section.

[0009] The described slide rail installation and inspection module includes two groups with the same structure, symmetrically installed on the bottom cross beams on both sides of the main frame. Both groups of slide rail installation and inspection modules include a front-end stepped grading positioning pin, a front-end positioning angle seat, a slide rail inspection ball module, a guiding slide rail, a slide rail backing plate, a rear-end positioning angle seat, and a rear-end stepped grading positioning pin. The slide rail backing plate is a thick flat plate fixed to the bottom cross beam of the main frame and is parallel to the axis of the hanging C-shaped slide rail groove. The guiding slide rail is fixed on the slide rail backing plate, and its axis is parallel to the axis of the hanging C-shaped slide rail groove, and its length is greater than the length of the hanging C-shaped slide rail groove. The front-end positioning angle seat and the rear-end positioning angle seat have the same structure and are both provided with bushing holes. The two are detachably and fixedly installed on the bottom cross beams of the main frame at both ends of the guiding slide rail. The front-end stepped grading positioning pin and the rear-end stepped grading positioning pin have the same structure and both have a step. The large diameters of the steps of the two are respectively matched with the bushing holes of the front-end positioning angle seat and the rear-end positioning angle seat through fixed dimensions. The small diameters of the steps of the two are graded at 0.05 mm per level, with a total of five levels, respectively used for cooperation with the front end and the rear end of the hanging C-shaped slide rail.

[0010] The described sliding rail inspection ball module includes a bolt, an inspection ball seat, an inspection ball, a sliding rail block, and a connecting plate. The bottom of the connecting plate is fixed with a sliding rail block for sliding along the guiding sliding rail. The inspection ball seat is detachably connected to the connecting plate through two bolts, and the inspection ball seat is connected to one end of the connecting plate facing the inner side of the main body frame. The two bolts are diagonally distributed on the connecting plate. The inspection ball seat is provided with a downwardly inclined mounting surface for mounting the inspection ball. The inspection ball is an oblate sphere symmetrically cut along the diameter plane of the sphere, and its diameter is set according to the position degree requirement of the sliding rail groove axis. It can be rotated and inserted into the hanging C-shaped sliding rail groove and slide along the guiding sliding rail to inspect the axis position degree of the hanging C-shaped sliding rail.

[0011] The described drill jig module is a detachable drill jig. There are two groups in total, which are detachably fixed on the main body frame. Its profile is set according to the profile of the hanging skin. When in use, it is set on the outside of the hanging skin and kept at a 10-mm gap from the hanging skin. A number of stop pins and setscrew bolts are provided on the drill jig module. The stop pins are used to position the outer end face of the hanging skin, and the setscrew bolts are used to press the hanging skin. A bushing hole is also provided on the drill jig module for drilling holes in the hanging skin.

[0012] Further, the position of the front engine mounting node locator is determined according to the designed position of the front engine mounting node, and the position of the rear engine mounting node locator is determined according to the designed position of the rear engine mounting node. The two are used as the assembly reference of the assembly and inspection integrated tooling, which is consistent with the design reference of the hanging section. The design reference of the hanging section is the front and rear engine mounting nodes.

[0013] Further, among the two joints of the front engine mounting node locator, the left joint bushing is a round hole, and the right joint bushing is an axially elongated oval hole.

[0014] Further, the positioning pin on the wing lower joint locator is a stepped positioning pin, and its diameter dimension is one level every 0.05 m, with a total of five levels.

[0015] Further, the drill jig module is made of aluminum alloy, which is light and easy to disassemble.

[0016] The present invention also provides a method for inspecting and assembling a hanging C-shaped sliding rail, which is realized based on the above-mentioned assembly and inspection integrated tooling. The inspection and assembly method includes the following steps:

[0017] Step 1, confirm that the assembly and inspection integrated tooling is intact and without wear; use the lug holes of the two non-mounting intersection locators at the front end of the hanging section and the six-frame holes at the rear end as the lifting points, and suspend the hanging section above the assembly and inspection integrated tooling at a suitable position.

[0018] Step 2: Lower the suspension section into the main frame, with its front end seated on the positioning auxiliary support and its rear end seated on the engine rear mounting joint locator. Adjust the telescopic positioning pin of the engine rear mounting joint locator until it inserts into the engine rear mounting joint hole, and the engine rear mounting joint is supported on the top surface of the engine rear mounting joint locator.

[0019] Step 3: Connect the front end of the suspension section to the engine front mounting joint locator with a positioning pin, and use the positioning auxiliary support 7 to finely adjust the front end of the suspension section in the vertical direction until the engine front mounting joint locator is connected and fixed to the main frame; insert a shim into the head of the telescopic positioning pin of the engine rear mounting joint locator and press it against the card slot in the engine rear mounting joint hole. Select a suitable graded positioning pin for the wing lower joint locator to lock it with the wing lower joint.

[0020] Step 4: According to the connection holes drilled in the previous process for the suspension section and the suspension nacelle skeleton, position and fix the suspension nacelle skeleton on the suspension section with process bolts.

[0021] Step 5: Insert the front stepped graded positioning pins in the two main locator modules into the front ends of the two suspension C-shaped slide rails through the front positioning angle seats respectively, and insert the rear stepped graded positioning pins into the rear ends of the suspension C-shaped slide rails through the rear positioning angle seats to achieve the preliminary positioning of the two suspension C-shaped slide rails; the principle for selecting the grading of the front stepped graded positioning pins and the rear stepped graded positioning pins is from large to small to ensure the position accuracy of the axis of the suspension C-shaped slide rail groove and reduce the assembly error.

[0022] Step 6: Identify the interference areas between the suspension C-shaped slide rail and the suspension nacelle skeleton, and trim them according to engineering requirements to eliminate the interference. After the interference is eliminated, measure the assembly gap between the suspension C-shaped slide rail and the suspension nacelle skeleton, and install peelable gaskets to eliminate the assembly gap.

[0023] Step 7: Place the inspection ball into the suspension C-shaped slide rail groove. After adjusting the position, fix the inspection ball seat on the connecting plate with a pin, and detect the position accuracy of the axis of the suspension C-shaped slide rail groove by sliding the inspection ball in the suspension C-shaped slide rail groove to assist in assembly compensation and correction.

[0024] Step 8: After the inspection ball can slide smoothly without jamming in the suspension C-shaped slide rail groove, drill the connection holes between the suspension C-shaped slide rail and the suspension nacelle skeleton and make a temporary connection.

[0025] Step 9: Lay the suspension skin on the suspension nacelle skeleton and the suspension C-shaped slide rail for preliminary positioning according to the shape. Install the drilling template module on the main frame, position and press the suspension skin with the stop pins and jacking bolts on the drilling template module, and drill the connection holes through the bushing holes. After completion, disassemble the drilling template module.

[0026] Step 10: Disassemble the hanging skin, the hanging nacelle skeleton and the hanging C-shaped slide rail, remove the burrs from the connecting holes, remove the sharp edges of the peelable gaskets and refine the outer shape.

[0027] Step 11: Reposition the hanging nacelle skeleton with the hanging section through the connecting holes, install the fasteners for connecting the hanging nacelle skeleton and the hanging section. After repositioning and fixing the connected hanging nacelle skeleton and the hanging section with the main locator module, reposition the hanging C-shaped slide rail through the slide rail assembly and inspection module and check the axis position accuracy with the slide rail inspection ball module, and assist in the secondary assembly compensation and correction of the hanging C-shaped slide rail and the hanging nacelle skeleton; install the fasteners for connecting the hanging C-shaped slide rail and the hanging nacelle skeleton, and install the fasteners for the hanging skin.

[0028] Step 12: Operate the inspection ball of the slide rail inspection ball module again to slide smoothly without jamming in the C-shaped slide rail groove, and finally form a qualified aircraft hanging assembly; disassemble the locator for the front mounting section of the engine, the front end positioning angle seat and the rear end positioning angle seat, and remove the assembled aircraft hanging assembly from the integrated assembly and inspection tooling.

[0029] Further, in the above-mentioned Step 6, the trimming principle for the interference between the hanging C-shaped slide rail and the hanging nacelle skeleton is to first trim the hanging nacelle skeleton. If the trimming amount of the hanging nacelle skeleton reaches the limit and the interference still cannot be eliminated, then trim the hanging C-shaped slide rail.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Based on the integrated tooling solution for part positioning, hole making and inspection, through the whole-process detection of the hanging C-shaped slide rail assembly and the secondary assembly compensation process method, the high-quality assembly of the hanging C-shaped slide rail is realized, the detectability of the axis of the hanging C-shaped slide rail is improved, and the assembly accuracy of the hanging C-shaped slide rail is enhanced.

The drill jig module 4 is also provided with bushing holes for drilling the hanging skin. The drill jig module 4 is made of aluminum alloy and has a hollow design at the non-hole part, which is light and easy to disassemble.

[0042] An inspection method for a hanging C-shaped slide rail is realized based on the above-mentioned integrated inspection and assembly tooling, and includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 1, processing environment requirements: Ensure that the processing environment temperature is 18°C to 26°C, the relative humidity is 25% to 65%, the dustiness is such that the content of dust particles not greater than 10 μm is not greater than 10 particles per liter, and the illuminance is not less than 300 Lux; confirm that the integrated inspection and assembly tooling is intact and without wear; use the lug holes of the two non-installation intersection locators at the front end of the hanging section and the six-frame holes at the rear end as the lifting points, and suspend the hanging section above the integrated inspection and assembly tooling at a suitable position.

[0044] Step 2, lower the hanging section into the main frame 1, make its front end sit on the positioning auxiliary support 7, and the rear end sit on the engine rear mounting joint locator 6.

[0050] Step 8: After the inspection ball 18 can slide smoothly without jamming in the groove of the hanging C-shaped slide rail, drill the connection holes between the hanging C-shaped slide rail and the hanging nacelle skeleton and temporarily connect them using a puller.

[0051] Step 9: Preliminarily position and lay the hanging skin on the hanging nacelle skeleton and the hanging C-shaped slide rail using the outer shape. Install the drilling template module 4 on the main frame 1. Position and press the hanging skin using the stop pins and setscrew bolts on the drilling template module 4, and drill the connection holes through the bushing holes. After completion, disassemble the drilling template module 4.

[0052] Step 10: Disassemble the hanging section, the hanging skin, the hanging nacelle skeleton, and the hanging C-shaped slide rail. Remove the burrs from the connection holes, remove the sharp edges of the peelable gaskets, and finely machine the outer shape.

[0053] Step 11: Reposition the hanging nacelle skeleton with the hanging section through the connection holes, install the connecting fasteners between the hanging nacelle skeleton and the hanging section. After repositioning and fixing the connected hanging nacelle skeleton and the hanging section through the main locator module 2, reposition the hanging C-shaped slide rail through the slide rail assembly and inspection module 3 and check the axis position accuracy using the slide rail inspection ball module 11, and assist in secondary assembly compensation and correction for the hanging C-shaped slide rail and the hanging nacelle skeleton; install the connecting fasteners between the hanging C-shaped slide rail and the hanging nacelle skeleton, and install the hanging skin fasteners.

[0054] Step 12: Operate the inspection ball 18 of the slide rail inspection ball module 11 again to slide smoothly without jamming in the C-shaped slide rail groove, and finally form a qualified aircraft hanging assembly; disassemble the engine front mounting node locator 5, the front end positioning angle seat 10, and the rear end positioning angle seat 14, and remove the assembled aircraft hanging assembly from the integrated assembly and inspection tooling.
