Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft component assembly, and in particular relates to a method for optimizing the support position of a bottom bracket of a fuselage barrel section. Background Art

[0002] The fuselage barrel section of modern aircraft is mainly a large thin-walled cylindrical structure, which requires shape and position control through a bottom bracket support system during the assembly process. If the bottom bracket support position is unreasonable, it will cause the fuselage barrel section to undergo large or local deformation during the assembly process, resulting in a decline in assembly quality. During the assembly process, due to the use of high-speed automated assembly equipment on site, the operation of the equipment will cause additional deformation to the fuselage barrel section, and more stringent requirements are placed on the bottom bracket support stiffness. In addition, as aircraft develop towards larger sizes and a higher proportion of composite materials, it is also necessary to reasonably arrange the bottom bracket support position of the fuselage barrel section.

[0003] The calculation method for the fuselage barrel bottom bracket support position is mainly to treat the fuselage barrel as the center of mass and solve the force and moment balance equation. However, this calculation simplifies the fuselage barrel into a rigid body and fails to consider the deformation of the fuselage barrel itself, the interaction between the fuselage barrel and the bracket, and the local assembly deformation. This is significantly different from the actual situation and cannot accurately reflect the rationality of the bottom bracket support position, resulting in fuselage barrel deformation caused by the unreasonable bottom bracket support position. Summary of the Invention

Preferably, the step three has the following requirements: Divide the three-dimensional simplified model of the fuselage barrel bottom bracket and the three-dimensional simplified model of the fuselage barrel section into grid units. This requires checking the sizes of all grid units.
