[0027] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a maintenance belly band system for an AS332C1 type helicopter according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an in-cabin bracket 1, an out-of-cabin cross beam 2, and an insulating rope 3. The in-cabin bracket 1 can be fixed inside the cabin 71 of the helicopter body 7. Two out-of-cabin cross beams 2 are arranged at intervals left and right. The inner ends of the out-of-cabin cross beams 2 are connected to the in-cabin bracket 1, and pulleys 5 are connected to the outer ends of the out-of-cabin cross beams 2. The insulating rope 3 bypasses the pulleys 5, and the lower end of the insulating rope 3 can be fixedly connected to the hanging basket 8.

[0028] The in-cabin bracket 1 includes two bracket cross beams 11. The two bracket cross beams 11 are arranged at intervals front and back. The two bracket cross beams 11 are symmetric front and back and are mirror images of each other. The two bracket cross beams 11 both extend in the left-right direction. The length of the bracket cross beam 11 (the dimension in the left-right direction) is less than the width of the helicopter body 7 (the dimension in the left-right direction). The two bracket cross beams 11 are fixedly connected by a connecting member 14. The connecting member 14 is in a U-shaped structure. A plurality of connecting members 14 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The bracket cross beam 11 and the connecting member 14 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts.

[0029] As Figures 3 to 4 shown, the in-cabin bracket 1 further includes two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12.

The two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12 are both located behind the two bracket cross beams 11. The two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12 are arranged at intervals left and right. The two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12 both extend in the front-back direction. The front ends of the two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12 are both fixedly connected to a rear bracket cross beam 11 by bolts and nuts.

[0030] The distance between the two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12 is less than the length of the bracket cross beam 11. The rear ends of the two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12 are fixedly connected by a rear connecting rod 15. The rear connecting rod 15 extends in the left-right direction. The bracket rear longitudinal beam 12 and the rear connecting rod 15 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. The two bracket rear longitudinal beams 12 are both fixedly connected to the lock seat 72 inside the cabin 71 by bolts and nuts.

[0031] The in-cabin support 1 further includes two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support. The two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support are symmetric about the left and right and are mirror images of each other. The two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support are both located in front of the two cross beams 11 of the support. The two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support are arranged at intervals left and right. The two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support both extend in the front-rear direction. The rear ends of the two front longitudinal beams 13 are both connected and fixed to a front cross beam 11 through bolts and nuts.

[0032] As Figures 3 to 4 shown, the distance between the two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support is less than the length of the cross beam 11 of the support. The front ends of the two front longitudinal beams 13 are connected and fixed through a front connecting rod 16. The front connecting rod 16 extends in the left-right direction. The front longitudinal beam 13 of the support is connected and fixed to the front connecting rod 16 through bolts and nuts. The two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support are both connected and fixed to a lock seat 72 in the engine compartment 71 through bolts and nuts.

[0033] The two front longitudinal beams 13 of the support and the two rear longitudinal beams 12 of the support are directly opposite to each other front and back. The length of the front longitudinal beam 13 of the support (the dimension in the front-rear direction) is less than the length of the rear longitudinal beam 12 of the support (the dimension in the front-rear direction). The length of the front longitudinal beam 13 of the support is 15% - 50% of the length of the rear longitudinal beam 12 of the support. The cross beam 11 of the support, the rear longitudinal beam 12 of the support, and the front longitudinal beam 13 of the support are all made of aluminum alloy.

[0034] In the front-rear direction, the two out-of-cabin cross beams 2 are both located between the two cross beams 11 of the support. The two out-of-cabin cross beams 2 are symmetric about the left and right and are mirror images of each other. The two out-of-cabin cross beams 2 both extend in the left-right direction. The inner ends of the out-of-cabin cross beams 2 are located in the engine compartment 71, and the outer ends of the out-of-cabin cross beams 2 are located outside the engine compartment 71. The inner ends of the out-of-cabin cross beams 2 are connected to the cross beam 11 of the support through a rotating shaft 17. The rotating shaft 17 extends in the front-rear direction. The out-of-cabin cross beam 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft 17, and the outer end of the out-of-cabin cross beam 2 can rotate into or outside the engine compartment 71.

[0035] As Figures 3 to 4 shown, when the out-of-cabin cross beam 2 needs to be folded and retracted, when the outer end of the out-of-cabin cross beam 2 rotates into the engine compartment 71, the out-of-cabin cross beam 2 is in an upright state and extends in the up-down direction. When the out-of-cabin cross beam 2 needs to be unfolded and extended, when the outer end of the out-of-cabin cross beam 2 rotates outside the engine compartment 71, the out-of-cabin cross beam 2 is in a horizontal state and extends in the left-right direction.

[0036] The support crossbeam 11 is provided with a locking member 18 which locks the outboard crossbeam 2 and the support crossbeam 11, thereby fixing the outboard crossbeam 2 in an upright state or a horizontal state. The locking member 18 can be a locking bolt. For example, it can be a first locking bolt and a second locking bolt. The first locking bolt can lock the outboard crossbeam 2 in a horizontal state, and the second locking bolt can lock the outboard crossbeam 2 in an upright state. The support crossbeam 11 is provided with mounting through holes through which the locking member 18 can pass and the locking member 18 can abut against the outboard crossbeam 2.

[0037] The two outboard crossbeams 2 are respectively a left outboard crossbeam 21 and a right outboard crossbeam 22. The diameter of the insulating rope 3 can be 16 mm - 20 mm, and the load-bearing capacity of the insulating rope 3 is not less than 1000 kg. The insulating rope 3 includes a left-side rope 31 and a right-side rope 32 arranged left and right.

[0038] The inner bearing of the pulley 5 adopts a standard rolling bearing. The wheel groove body material is selected as the nautical standard fire-resistant, wear-resistant and cloth-impregnated bakelite material. The groove width is compatible with the insulating rope 3 with a diameter of 16 mm - 20 mm. The wheel diameter of the pulley 5 is not less than 3 times the rope diameter. An anti-disengagement mechanism and a protection pin are installed on the outside of the pulley 5 and are connected to a damper, which can prevent the hanging basket 8 from tilting too fast to the left and right.

[0039] The left-side rope 31 bypasses the pulley 5 connected to the outer end of the left outboard crossbeam 21. The left-side rope 31 includes an upper left rope segment 311 and a lower left rope segment 312 connected in sequence up and down. The upper left rope segment 311 is fixedly connected to the inboard support 1; the right-side rope 32 bypasses the pulley 5 connected to the outer end of the right outboard crossbeam 22. The right-side rope 32 includes an upper right rope segment 321 and a lower right rope segment 322 connected in sequence up and down. The upper right rope segment 321 is fixedly connected to the inboard support 1.

[0040] Both the upper left rope segment 311 and the upper right rope segment 321 are in a horizontal state, both the upper left rope segment 311 and the upper right rope segment 321 extend in the left-right direction, and the axis of the pulley 5 extends in the front-back direction. The lower ends of the lower left rope segment 312 and the lower right rope segment 322 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the upper part of the hanging basket 8 in one-to-one correspondence.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 2As shown in the figure, an anti-twist rod 4 is provided between the lower left rope segment 312 and the lower right rope segment 322. The anti-twist rod 4 can prevent the hanging basket 8 from rotating significantly during the shaking process. The anti-twist rod 4 has an acute-angled structure. The anti-twist rod 4 includes an upper connecting rod 41 and a lower connecting rod 42 arranged up and down. The right ends of the upper connecting rod 41 and the lower connecting rod 42 are arranged at an interval up and down. The right ends of the upper connecting rod 41 and the lower connecting rod 42 are both connected to the lower right rope segment 322 through a first quick-release joint 43. The left ends of the upper connecting rod 41 and the lower connecting rod 42 are both connected to a second quick-release joint 44, and the second quick-release joint 44 is connected to the lower left rope segment 312.

[0042] Rope cutting devices 6 are connected to both the upper left rope segment 311 and the upper right rope segment 321. The rope cutting devices 6 are connected to the cabin support 1 inside the cabin. The rope cutting devices 6 can cut the upper left rope segment 311 and the upper right rope segment 321 and disconnect the insulating rope 3 from the cabin support 1 inside the cabin. The rope cutting device 6 connected to the upper left rope segment 311 can cut the upper left rope segment 311, and the rope cutting device 6 connected to the upper right rope segment 321 can cut the upper right rope segment 321.

[0043] The rope cutting device 6 can adopt an explosive cap. The explosive cap can be a product of the prior art. The explosive cap can convert chemical energy into mechanical force for cutting. When activated by an electric current, the explosive inside the device is ignited, and the high-speed gas pushes the cutter head to cut the insulating rope 3 (i.e., the upper left rope segment 311 and the upper right rope segment 321) passing through its blade hole, and can cut the insulating rope 3 in an emergency to complete the release of the hanging basket 8. Alternatively, the rope cutting device 6 can also adopt an existing hydraulic shear.

[0044] Next, a helicopter is introduced. The helicopter is an AS332C1 type helicopter. The helicopter includes a helicopter body 7 and the above-mentioned overhaul operation belly belt system for the AS332C1 type helicopter. Inside the helicopter body 7, there is a cockpit and a cabin 71 arranged front and back. The cabin support 1 is fixed inside the cabin 71 of the helicopter body 7, and the lower end of the insulating rope 3 is connected to a hanging basket 8.

[0045] The overhaul operation belly belt system for the AS332C1 type helicopter is convenient to disassemble. Only the hanging basket 8 and the anti-twist rod 4 need to be removed, then the insulating rope 3 is retracted, and finally the part of the cabin support 1 on the fuselage is removed. The overhaul operation belly belt system for the AS332C1 type helicopter meets the convenience of installation and takes into account the throwing of the hanging basket 8 in an emergency. The overhaul operation belly belt system for the AS332C1 type helicopter can be installed on the helicopter, can ensure the safety of the operating personnel, and also has the convenience of installation and the flexibility of use.

[0046] Next, the working process of the overhaul operation belly belt system for the AS332C1 type helicopter and the helicopter is introduced.

[0047] When maintenance work is required, the outer cabin crossbeam 2 is unfolded and placed in a horizontal state, and the first locking bolt is tightened. The outer cabin crossbeam 2 cannot rotate relative to the inner cabin support 1. The lower end of the insulating rope 3 is connected to the hanging basket 8. After the maintenance work is completed, the first locking bolt is loosened, the outer cabin crossbeam 2 is folded and retracted into an upright state, and the second locking bolt is tightened. The outer cabin crossbeam 2 cannot rotate relative to the inner cabin support 1, and the lower end of the insulating rope 3 is disconnected from the hanging basket 8.

[0048] As described above, only the specific embodiments of the present invention are provided, and the scope of the invention cannot be limited by them. Therefore, the replacement of equivalent components or the equivalent changes and modifications made according to the protection scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope covered by the present invention. In addition, the technical features in the present invention can be freely combined with each other, between technical features and technical solutions, between technical solutions and technical solutions, and between embodiments and embodiments.
