DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The core of the present invention is to provide a tail assembly device that facilitates tail assembly and ensures tail assembly accuracy. Another core of the present invention is to provide a tail assembly method applied to the above tail assembly device that facilitates tail assembly and ensures tail assembly accuracy.

[0050] It should be noted that the specific orientations of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, as long as the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first direction is the direction of the straight line where the Z axis is located, the second direction is the direction of the straight line where the Y axis is located, and the third direction is the direction of the straight line where the X axis is located.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a tail assembly device, including a vertical tail assembly tool 1 and a horizontal tail assembly tool 2. The vertical tail assembly tool 1 is used to assemble the vertical tail, and the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is provided with a first docking interface 11; the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 is used to assemble the horizontal tail, and the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 is provided with a second docking interface 21 for connecting with the first docking interface 11. After the first docking interface 11 and the second docking interface 21 are connected, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 are perpendicular, and the first connecting member of the vertical tail on the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is aligned with the second connecting member of the horizontal tail on the horizontal tail assembly tool 2.

[0052] It should be noted that the tail assembly device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for assembling the tail of an aircraft, and the tail includes two vertical tails and one horizontal tail. The two vertical tails are respectively provided at the two ends of the horizontal tail, and the two vertical tails are respectively arranged perpendicular to the horizontal tail. The vertical tail is provided with a first connector, and the horizontal tail is provided with a second connector. The vertical tail and the horizontal tail are connected by the first connector and the second connector. Exemplarily, the first connector and the second connector are respectively metal connectors to improve the strength of the connection between the vertical tail and the horizontal tail. It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first connector and the second connector, as long as the connection between the vertical tail and the horizontal tail can be achieved through the connection of the first connector and the second connector. In some embodiments, after the vertical tail and the horizontal tail are assembled into the tail, the overall length of the tail is four meters, the height is two meters, and the width is one meter.

[0053] Furthermore, to achieve lightweighting, in some embodiments, both the vertical and horizontal tailpieces are constructed from carbon fiber. The vertical tailpiece includes a first frame, a first inner skin, and a first outer skin, while the horizontal tailpiece includes a second frame, a second inner skin, and a second outer skin. In other words, except for the first and second connectors, the remaining components of the vertical and horizontal tailpieces can be constructed from carbon fiber, reducing the overall weight of the empennage and achieving lightweighting. Furthermore, the first and second connectors are preferably metal connectors, which enhance the structural strength of the connection between the vertical and horizontal tailpieces, thereby improving the overall structural strength and reliability of the empennage.

[0054] The vertical tail assembly tool 1 is used to assemble the vertical tail. Specifically, the first frame, first inner skin, first outer skin, and first connector are assembled into a complete vertical tail on the vertical tail assembly tool 1. For example, the first outer skin, first frame, and first inner skin are assembled in order from bottom to top. Furthermore, it is understood that the first connector is connected to the first frame. This embodiment does not limit the specific method of connecting the first connector to the first frame; as long as the connection between the first connector and the first frame can be achieved, it will be sufficient.

[0055] The tail assembly tool 2 is used to assemble the tailplane. Specifically, the second frame, second inner skin, second outer skin, and second connectors are assembled into a complete tailplane on the tail assembly tool 2. For example, the second outer skin, second frame, and second inner skin are assembled from bottom to top. It should be understood that the second connectors are connected to the second frame. This embodiment does not limit the specific method of connecting the second connectors to the second frame; as long as the connection between the second connectors and the second frame can be achieved, it will be sufficient.

[0056] More importantly, the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 is provided with a first docking interface 11, and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 is provided with a second docking interface 21. The first docking interface 11 is used to connect with the second docking interface 21, and when the first docking interface 11 is connected with the second docking interface 21, the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 is perpendicular to the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, and the first connecting part of the vertical tail on the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 is aligned with the second connecting part of the horizontal tail on the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 to facilitate the connection between the first connecting part and the second connecting part.

[0057] That is to say, the embodiment of the present invention realizes the connection between the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 by connecting the first docking interface 11 and the second docking interface 21, thereby assembling the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 with the vertical tail and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 with the horizontal tail into one body, and utilizes the relative position of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 after assembly to ensure the relative position of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail, thereby realizing the precise installation of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail. During the assembly process of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail, there is no need to adjust the position of the vertical tail and / or the horizontal tail, and the tail assembly can be performed quickly and accurately, saving time and effort, and ensuring the assembly accuracy of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail.

[0058] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first docking interface 11 and the second docking interface 21 and their connection method, as long as the first docking interface 11 and the second docking interface 21 can be detachably connected to locate the relative positions of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first docking interface 11 includes a first docking plate and a first mounting hole provided on the first docking plate, the second docking interface 21 includes a second docking plate and a second mounting hole provided on the second docking plate, one of the first docking plate and the second docking plate is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the other is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting protrusion to limit the position, the first docking plate is used to fit and dock with the second docking plate, and the first mounting hole is used to align with the second mounting hole and be connected through a third connecting member.

[0060] That is, this embodiment utilizes the first docking plate and the second docking plate to align the first mounting hole with the second mounting hole, and connects the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole via the third connecting member, thereby achieving the connection between the first docking plate and the second docking plate. Simultaneously, the limiting protrusion cooperates with the limiting groove to limit the relative position of the first docking plate and the second docking plate during the docking, thereby facilitating the rapid and precise positioning of the first docking plate and the second docking plate during assembly of the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tool 2. This connection structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0061] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific number and specific location of the first docking interfaces 11 and the second docking interfaces 21, as long as it can ensure that the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 can be assembled together smoothly and reliably.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first docking interface 11 is provided on the side of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 facing the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, and the first docking interface 11 is flush with the position of the first connecting piece on the vertical tail assembly tooling 1; the second docking interface 21 is provided at both ends of the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, and is flush with the position of the second connecting piece on the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2.

[0063] That is to say, a second docking interface 21 is respectively provided at both ends of the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, so that a vertical tail assembly tooling 1 can be installed at both ends of the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, so as to realize the connection between two vertical tails and one horizontal tail; the first docking interface 11 is provided on the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 for facing the side of the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, and similarly, the second docking interface 21 is used to face the vertical tail assembly tooling 1. In this way, when the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 is connected to the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, it is convenient to directly dock the first docking interface 11 with the second docking interface 21, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble; moreover, the first docking interface 11 is flush with the position of the first connecting member on the vertical tail assembly tooling 1, and the second docking interface 21 is flush with the position of the second connecting member on the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, which makes it convenient to define the position of the first connecting member by the position of the first docking interface 11, and to define the position of the second connecting member by the position of the second docking interface 21, which is conducive to achieving precise alignment of the first connecting member and the second connecting member through the connection of the first docking interface 11 and the second docking interface 21.

[0064] In addition, the above embodiments do not limit the specific structure of the vertical tail assembly tool 1, as long as the vertical tail can be assembled on the vertical tail assembly tool 1.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 includes a first support assembly 12, a first positioning device 13 and a second positioning device 14. The first support assembly 12 is used to support the various components of the vertical tail to provide a support structure for the assembly of the vertical tail; the first positioning device 13 is detachably connected to the first support assembly 12, and the first positioning device 13 is provided with a first positioning member 131, and the first positioning member 131 is used to be detachably connected to the first connecting member to position the first connecting member of the vertical tail; the second positioning device 14 is connected to the first support assembly 12, and is used to position and fix the vertical tail.

[0066] That is to say, when the vertical tail is assembled, the first skeleton, first inner skin, first outer skin and first connecting member of the vertical tail are assembled on the first support assembly 12. At the same time, they are connected to the first support assembly 12 through the first positioning device 13, and the connection between the first positioning member 131 and the first connecting member is used to ensure the position accuracy of the first connecting member. The second positioning device 14 is used to position and fix the vertical tail to ensure the position of the vertical tail relative to the vertical tail assembly tooling 1.

[0067] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first support assembly 12, as long as the first support assembly 12 can support the various components of the vertical tail to provide a support structure for the assembly of the vertical tail.

[0068] In addition, this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first positioning device 13, as long as the first positioning device 13 can be detachably connected to the first support assembly 12, and the first positioning member 131 can be detachably connected to the first connector. For example, the first positioning device 13 is a gantry-type structure. When the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is assembling the vertical tail, the gantry-type structure is positioned above the vertical tail assembly tool 1. The first positioning member 131 is positioned below the crossbeam of the gantry-type structure and extends to the first connector to connect with the first connector. Before the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is assembled with the horizontal tail assembly tool 2, the first positioning device 13 is disassembled from the first support assembly 12.

[0069] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first positioning device 13 is provided with a third docking interface 132 , and the third docking interface 132 is detachably connected to the first docking interface 11 .

[0070] That is to say, in this embodiment, the interface connecting the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the first positioning device 13 and the interface connecting the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 are the same interface, that is, the first docking interface 11. When the third docking interface 132 of the first positioning device 13 is connected to the first docking interface 11, the first positioning member 131 of the first positioning device 13 is used to position the first connecting member; when the first docking interface 11 is connected to the second docking interface 21 of the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, the assembly of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 is realized.

[0071] In addition, this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the second positioning device 14, as long as the second positioning device 14 can position and fix the vertical tail.

[0072] In some embodiments, the second positioning device 14 includes a first positioning clamp, a first positioning pressure plate and a first fixed clamp. The first positioning clamp is used to clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the vertical tail to limit the freedom of the vertical tail along the first direction; the first positioning pressure plate is used to press against the side of the vertical tail to limit the freedom of the vertical tail along the second direction; the first fixed clamp is used to clamp the preset position of the vertical tail to limit the freedom of the vertical tail along the third direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0073] That is to say, this embodiment realizes the fixation of the vertical tail in three directions: the first direction, the second direction and the third direction through the joint action of the first positioning clamp plate, the first positioning pressure plate and the first fixing clamp plate, so as to ensure the correct position of each component during the assembly process of the vertical tail.

[0074] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structures of the first positioning card plate, the first positioning pressure plate and the first fixed card plate, as long as the corresponding functions of the first positioning card plate, the first positioning pressure plate and the first fixed card plate can be achieved.

[0075] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 includes a first pressing device 15, which is used to press the first inner skin and the first outer skin of the vertical tail after they are bonded together.

[0076] That is, in this embodiment, the first inner skin and the first outer skin are pressed by the first pressing device 15 to ensure that the first inner skin and the first outer skin can be tightly compacted during the bonding process, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of the vertical tail.

[0077] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first clamping device 15, as long as it can achieve the compression effect of the first clamping device 15 on the first inner skin and the first outer skin. For example, the first clamping device 15 is a gantry-type multi-point clamping device, which includes at least one clamping member to achieve compression of the first inner skin and the first outer skin through one or more clamping members. Furthermore, the number of gantry-type multi-point clamping devices can be one or at least two, so that multiple gantry-type multi-point clamping devices can be used to achieve compression at multiple locations on the first inner skin and the first outer skin.

[0078] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the tail assembly device further includes a support base 16 , and the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is detachably connected to the support base 16 .

[0079] It can be understood that when the vertical tail assembly tool 1 assembles the vertical tail, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is connected to the support base 16, so that the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is supported to a suitable position by the support base 16, so as to facilitate the assembly of the vertical tail by the vertical tail assembly tool 1; when the vertical tail assembly tool 1 needs to be assembled with the horizontal tail assembly tool 2, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the support base 16 are disassembled to facilitate the assembly of the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tool 2.

[0080] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific method of detachable connection between the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the support base 16, as long as the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the support base 16 can be detachably connected. Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the support base 16, as long as the support base 16 can support the vertical tail assembly tool 1. For example, the support base 16 includes four legs arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0081] In addition, in order to facilitate the assembly of the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tool 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is provided with a lifting lug 17 .

[0082] That is to say, when it is necessary to assemble the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, the position of the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 is kept unchanged, the lifting lug 17 is lifted by the lifting equipment, and the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 is lifted to the position where it is docked with the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2, so as to facilitate the assembly of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2.

[0083] It should be noted that the above embodiments do not limit the specific structure of the horizontal tail assembly tool 2, as long as the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 can realize the assembly of the horizontal tail. The design concept and specific structure of the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 can refer to the design concept and specific structure of the vertical tail assembly tool 1.

[0084] For example, Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 includes a second support component 22, a vertical tail positioning simulation component 23 and a third positioning device 24. The second support component 22 is used to support the various components of the horizontal tail to provide a support structure for the assembly of the horizontal tail; the vertical tail positioning simulation component 23 is detachably connected to the second docking interface 21, and the vertical tail positioning simulation component 23 is provided with a second positioning component 231, and the second positioning component 231 is used to be detachably connected to the second connecting component; the third positioning device 24 is connected to the second support component 22, and is used to position and fix the horizontal tail.

[0085] That is to say, when assembling the horizontal tail, the second skeleton, second inner skin, second outer skin and second connecting member of the horizontal tail are assembled on the second support assembly 22. At the same time, the vertical tail positioning simulation member 23 is connected to the second support assembly 22, and the connection between the second positioning member 231 and the second connecting member is used to simulate the connection between the first connecting member and the second connecting member, thereby ensuring the position accuracy of the second connecting member, and the second positioning device 14 is used to position and fix the horizontal tail, ensuring the position of the horizontal tail relative to the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2.

[0086] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the second support assembly 22 , as long as the second support assembly 22 can support the various components of the horizontal tail and provide a support structure for the assembly of the horizontal tail.

[0087] Furthermore, this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure of the vertical tail positioning dummy 23; as long as the vertical tail positioning dummy 23 is detachably connected to the second support assembly 22, and the second positioning member 231 is detachably connected to the second connector. During the horizontal tail assembly process, the vertical tail positioning dummy 23 is connected to the horizontal tail assembly tool 2. During the horizontal tail assembly process, the second connector of the horizontal tail is connected to the second positioning member 231 of the vertical tail positioning dummy 23 to determine the position of the second connector. Before the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is assembled with the horizontal tail assembly tool 2, the vertical tail positioning dummy 23 is disassembled from the second support assembly 22.

[0088] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical tail positioning simulation component 23 is provided with a fourth docking interface 232 , and the fourth docking interface 232 is detachably connected to the second docking interface 21 .

[0089] That is to say, in this embodiment, the interface connecting the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 and the vertical tail positioning simulation component 23 and the interface connecting the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 and the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 are the same interface, that is, the second docking interface 21. When the fourth docking interface 232 of the vertical tail positioning simulation component 23 is connected to the second docking interface 21, the second positioning component 231 of the vertical tail positioning simulation component 23 is used to position the second connecting component; when the second docking interface 21 is connected to the first docking interface 11 of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1, the assembly of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 is realized.

[0090] In addition, this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the third positioning device 24, as long as the third positioning device 24 can position and fix the horizontal tail.

[0091] In some embodiments, the third positioning device 24 includes a second positioning clamping plate, a second positioning pressure plate and a second fixed clamping plate. The second positioning clamping plate is used to clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal tail to limit the freedom of the horizontal tail along the first direction; the second positioning pressure plate is used to press against the side of the horizontal tail to limit the freedom of the horizontal tail along the second direction; the second fixed clamping plate is used to clamp the preset position of the horizontal tail to limit the freedom of the horizontal tail along the third direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0092] That is to say, in this embodiment, the second positioning clamp, the second positioning pressure plate and the second fixing clamp work together to achieve the fixation of the horizontal tail in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction, so as to ensure the correct position of each component during the assembly process of the horizontal tail.

[0093] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structures of the second positioning card plate, the second positioning pressure plate and the second fixed card plate, as long as the corresponding functions of the second positioning card plate, the second positioning pressure plate and the second fixed card plate can be achieved.

[0094] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 includes a second pressing device 25, which is used to press the second inner skin and the second outer skin of the horizontal tail after they are bonded together.

[0095] That is, in this embodiment, the second inner skin and the second outer skin are pressed by the second pressing device 25 to ensure that the second inner skin and the second outer skin can be tightly compacted during the bonding process, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of the horizontal tail.

[0096] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the second pressing device 25, as long as it can achieve the compressive effect of the second pressing device 25 on the second inner skin and the second outer skin. Exemplarily, the second pressing device 25 is a gantry-type multi-point pressing device, which includes at least one pressing member to achieve compression of the second inner skin and the second outer skin through one or more pressing members. Furthermore, the number of gantry-type multi-point pressing devices can be one or at least two, so that compression can be achieved at multiple locations on the second inner skin and the second outer skin through multiple gantry-type multi-point pressing devices.

[0097] In addition to the above-mentioned tail assembly device, the present invention also provides a tail assembly method applied to the tail assembly device disclosed in the above embodiment. The tail assembly method includes steps S1 to S4:

[0098] S1: Assemble and position the vertical tail using the vertical tail assembly tool 1 of the tail assembly device.

[0099] S2: Assemble and position the horizontal tail using the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 of the tail assembly device.

[0100] S3: Connect the first docking interface 11 of the vertical tail assembly tool 1 with the second docking interface 21 of the horizontal tail assembly tool 2.

[0101] S4: Connect the first connecting piece of the vertical tail to the second connecting piece of the horizontal tail.

[0102] That is to say, in the process of assembling the tail, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tool 2 are used to assemble and position the vertical tail and the horizontal tail respectively. After the vertical tail and the horizontal tail are assembled and positioned respectively, the first docking interface 11 of the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is connected to the second docking interface 21 of the horizontal tail assembly tool 2. At this time, the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is perpendicular to the horizontal tail assembly tool 2, and the first connecting part of the vertical tail on the vertical tail assembly tool 1 is aligned with the second connecting part of the horizontal tail on the horizontal tail assembly tool 2. Then, the first connecting part of the vertical tail is connected to the second connecting part of the horizontal tail.

[0103] That is to say, in this embodiment, the connection between the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 is achieved through the connection between the first docking interface 11 and the second docking interface 21, so that the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 with the vertical tail and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 with the horizontal tail are assembled into one. The relative position of the vertical tail assembly tooling 1 and the horizontal tail assembly tooling 2 after assembly is utilized to ensure the relative position of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail, thereby achieving precise installation of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail. During the assembly process of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail, there is no need to adjust the position of the vertical tail and / or the horizontal tail, and the tail assembly can be performed quickly and accurately, saving time and effort, and ensuring the assembly accuracy of the vertical tail and the horizontal tail.
