[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a fuselage beam frame that can meet the requirements of a modular fuselage, support the fuselage skin panel (or fuselage panel or fuselage skin assembly), withstand the axial force caused by bending moment, and maintain the fuselage shape; the main components, the beam and the bulkhead, are integral structures and can be obtained by processing die forgings or die castings or stampings or extrusions, with fast production speed and low cost for mass production; the fuselage beam frame is connected to the skeleton of the fuselage skin panel (or fuselage panel or fuselage skin assembly), with high connection strength and high safety, reducing the workload of connecting parts and related connections, and high production efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution of the present application is: a fuselage beam frame, the fuselage beam frame comprising a beam (11) and a bulkhead (12);

[0006] The main material of the fuselage beam frame is aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy or titanium alloy, or the main material of the fuselage beam frame is two or three of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and titanium alloy;

[0007] The fuselage beam frame has a plurality of beams (11) (two or more beams); the fuselage beam frame has a plurality of bulkheads (12) (four or more beams); the fuselage beam frame plays a role in supporting the fuselage skin panel (or fuselage panel or fuselage skin assembly), bearing the axial force caused by the bending moment, and maintaining the fuselage shape;

[0008] The beam (11) is a longitudinal (or similar longitudinal) member of the fuselage structure and is the main member for bearing the axial force caused by the bending moment; the bulkhead (12) is a transverse (or similar transverse) member of the fuselage structure and plays the role of bearing and transmitting loads, maintaining the shape of the fuselage, and supporting the skin panel (2);

[0009] The beam (11) is a longitudinal (or similar longitudinal) member of the fuselage structure and is the main member that bears the axial force caused by the bending moment;

[0010] The bulkhead (12) is a transverse (or similar transverse) member of the fuselage structure, which plays the role of bearing and transmitting loads, maintaining the shape of the fuselage, and supporting the fuselage skin panel (or fuselage panel or fuselage skin assembly);

[0011] The bulkhead (12) located in the middle of the fuselage beam frame is in the shape of a circular ring (or similar to a circular ring, or an incomplete circular ring), and the connection between the beam (11) and the bulkhead (12) located in the middle of the fuselage beam frame is achieved by connecting the beam (11) with the inner surface of the inner ring of the bulkhead (12) in the middle of the fuselage beam frame; the contact surface of the beam (11) connected to the inner surface of the inner ring of the bulkhead (12) in the middle of the fuselage beam frame is fitted (or similar to fitted) with the inner surface of the inner ring of the bulkhead (12) in the middle of the fuselage beam frame; the contact surface is similar to an arc surface, and the structure is relatively compact, which reduces the space occupied in the machine;

[0012] The connection between the fuselage beam frame and the fuselage skin panel (or fuselage panel or fuselage skin assembly) is mainly achieved by connecting the bulkhead (12) to the frame of the fuselage skin panel (or fuselage panel or fuselage skin assembly); the fuselage beam frame is no longer directly connected to the skin (typical skin: fixed to the frame by bonding or riveting to form a dimensional component surrounding the aerodynamic shape); the connection strength is high, a large number of connecting parts and corresponding connection work can be reduced, production efficiency is high, and cost is reduced;

[0013] The beam (11) is an integral structure and can be obtained by processing die forgings, die castings, stampings or extrusions, with high production speed, low mass production cost and high consistency;

[0014] The bulkhead (12) is an integral structure and can be obtained by processing die forgings, die castings, stampings or extrusions, with high production speed, low mass production cost and high consistency;

[0015] The fuselage beam frame is no longer connected to the stringer (typical stringer: a rod-shaped component that is subjected to axial force in the longitudinal direction of the fuselage), and has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.
