Detailed Embodiments

[0019] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0020] To solve the technical problem that the procedures for repairing and replacing the damaged landing gear beam are opposite to those during manufacturing, which easily leads to deviations in the in-situ replacement of the front landing gear beam during aircraft damage repair, the present invention provides a positioning tooling and a method for replacing the front landing gear beam of an aircraft. By arranging the support body 300 between the first beam 100 and the second beam 200 of the landing gear, positioning and supporting the first beam 100 and the second beam 200, it can effectively ensure the in-situ replacement of the first beam 100 and the second beam 200 of the landing gear, reduce the installation error during replacement. At the same time, through the first connecting member 410 and the second connecting member 420, a detachable connection can be achieved between the support body 300 and the first beam 100 and the second beam 200 of the landing gear, with simple operation and convenient construction.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , Figure 1 , Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of the positioning tooling and the method for replacing the front landing gear beam of an aircraft according to an embodiment of the present invention. The positioning tooling is used to connect the aircraft, and the aircraft has a first beam 100 and a second beam 200, which are arranged at intervals from each other. It includes: a support body 300 and two connecting assemblies 400. The support body 300 is arranged between the first beam 100 and the second beam 200. The connecting assembly 400 includes a first connecting member 410 and a second connecting member 420. The two first connecting members 410 are respectively detachably connected to the first beam 100 or the second beam 200, and the second connecting body 421 is connected to the support body 300 and can be detachably connected to the first connecting body 411.

[0022] In this device, a support body 300 is arranged between the first beam 100 and the second beam 200 of the landing gear. Two first connecting members 410 are respectively arranged at both ends of the support body 300. The two first connecting members 410 can be respectively detachably connected to the first beam 100 and the second beam 200. The second connecting member 420 is configured to detachably connect the first connecting member 410 and the support body 300.

[0023] Furthermore, by disposing the support body 300 between the first girder 100 and the second girder 200 of the landing gear to position and support the first girder 100 and the second girder 200, it can effectively ensure the in-situ replacement of the first girder 100 and the second girder 200 of the landing gear, reduce the installation error during replacement. At the same time, through the first connecting member 410 and the second connecting member 420, a detachable connection between the support body 300 and the first girder 100 and the second girder 200 of the landing gear can be realized. The operation is simple and convenient for construction, and it can solve the technical problem in the prior art that because the procedures for repairing and replacing damaged landing gear girders are opposite to those during manufacturing, it is easy to cause deviations in the in-situ replacement of the front landing gear girder during aircraft damage repair.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, rotating shaft holes are respectively formed on the opposite sides of the first girder 100 and the second girder 200. The first connecting member 410 includes a first connecting body 411. One end of the first connecting body 411 can be slidably inserted into the rotating shaft hole and is clamped with the first girder 100 or the second girder 200.

[0025] The first connecting body 411 respectively realizes the detachable connection between the first connecting body 411 and the first girder 100 and the second girder 200 by being inserted into the rotating shaft holes of the first girder 100 and the second girder 200 and being clamped with the rotating shaft holes.

[0026] Furthermore, rotating shaft holes are respectively formed on the opposite sides of the first girder 100 and the second girder 200 here, which are respectively used to realize the rotational connection between the landing gear and the first girder 100 and the second girder 200. This is a conventional setting well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here too much.

[0027] As one implementation manner, the first connecting body 411 is cylindrical. An external thread is formed at one end of the first connecting body 411. The first connecting member 410 further includes a threaded connection sleeve 412. One end of the first connecting body 411 passes through the rotating shaft hole, and the threaded connection sleeve 412 is threadedly connected to one end of the first connecting body 411 and abuts against the first girder 100 or the second girder 200.

[0028] The threaded connection sleeve 412 is threadedly connected to the first connecting body 411 and forms an integral body with the first connecting body 411. By abutting the threaded connection sleeve 412 against the first girder 100 or the second girder 200, the sliding of the support body 300 relative to the first girder 100 or the second girder 200 can be restricted.

[0029] Furthermore, by providing a threaded connection sleeve 412 at one end of the support body 300, the relative sliding of the support body 300 along a single direction with respect to the first main beam 100 or the second main beam 200 can be restricted respectively. If two threaded connection sleeves 412 are provided at both ends of the support body 300 respectively, the support body 300 can be positioned between the first main beam 100 and the second main beam 200. This is a conventional setting well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated further here.

[0030] As an implementation manner, for example Figure 6 shown, the first connection body 411 has a small-diameter section and a large-diameter section. The small-diameter section is arranged farther from the support body 300 relative to the large-diameter section. An external thread is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the small-diameter section. The threaded connection sleeve 412 is threadedly connected to the small-diameter section of the first connection body 411, and the end of the large-diameter section abuts against the first main beam 100 or the second main beam 200.

[0031] The first connection body 411 has a small-diameter section and a large-diameter section. The threaded connection sleeve 412 and the large-diameter section of the first connection body 411 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first main beam 100 or the second main beam 200, and can respectively abut against the first main beam 100 or the second main beam 200, so that the support body 300 can be connected to the first main beam 100 or the second main beam 200 and form a fixation.

[0032] As an implementation manner, for example Figure 2 shown, the first connector 410 further includes a retaining ring 413. The retaining ring 413 is sleeved on the small-diameter section of the first connection body 411 and is tightly abutted against the threaded connection sleeve 412 and the first main beam 100 or the second main beam 200.

[0033] By providing a retaining ring 413 between the threaded connection sleeve 412 and the first main beam 100 or the second main beam 200, the connection stability can be increased and the support stability of the positioning tooling can be improved.

[0034] Furthermore, here the retaining ring 413 is a common and easily purchasable washer or gasket in the market, which is a conventional setting well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated further here.

[0035] In this embodiment, for example Figure 6 shown, the first connection body 411 is axially provided with a first through hole. The support body 300 is rod-shaped, and both ends of the support body 300 are respectively slidably inserted into the first through hole. The second connector 420 is connected to the support body 300 and can be clamped with the first connection body 411.

[0036] The support body 300 can slide relative to the first connection body 411, and by using the clamping between the first connection body 411 and the second connector 420, a fixed connection between the support body 300 and the first connection body 411 can be achieved.

[0037] As an implementation manner, for example, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting body 411 is further provided with a second through hole along its radial direction, and the second through hole communicates with the first through hole. The support body 300 is provided with a locking hole opposite to the second through hole. The second connecting member 420 includes a second connecting body 421. One end of the second connecting body 421 is sequentially inserted into the second through hole and the locking hole to limit the relative sliding of the support body 300 with respect to the first connecting body 411.

[0038] By using the second connecting body 421 arranged along the radial direction of the first through hole, the detachable connection between the support body 300 and the first connecting body 411 is realized.

[0039] Furthermore, the support body 300 and the first connecting body 411 are respectively provided with a locking hole and a second through hole along the radial direction of the first through hole. By using the cooperation between the second connecting body 421 and the locking hole and the second through hole, the support body 300 and the first connecting body 411 cannot slide relative to each other along the axial direction of the first through hole.

[0040] As an implementation manner, for example, Figure 8 As shown, one end of the second connecting body 421 is formed with a tip, and the cross-sectional area of the tip gradually increases in the direction away from the first connecting body 411.

[0041] The second connecting body 421 is formed with a tip, which can facilitate the user to insert the second connecting body 421 into the locking hole and the second through hole in sequence, facilitating construction and operation.

[0042] As an implementation manner, for example, Figure 8 As shown, the second connecting member 420 further includes a limiting block 422. The limiting block 422 is connected to the other end of the second connecting body 421 and abuts against the first connecting body 411.

[0043] The limiting block 422 can abut against the outer wall of the first connecting body 411, which is used to facilitate the user to judge whether the second connecting body 421 is accurately inserted into the locking hole and the second through hole, thereby improving the connection stability of the device.

[0044] The present invention also provides a method for replacing the front landing gear beam of an aircraft.

[0045] For a better understanding of the present invention, the following combines Figures 1 to 8 to elaborate in detail on the technical solution of the present invention: A support 300 is arranged between the first girder 100 and the second girder 200 of the landing gear.
