[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0036] This application provides a hoisting engine mounting structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: engine suspension thrust beam 7, right side connector 6, left side connector 5, and engine rear suspension connector 8.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the engine-mounted thrust beam 7 adopts a web-reinforced structure, including an integrated thrust beam body, a thrust beam upper edge strip 10, a first thrust beam lug 11, a second thrust beam lug 12, and a thrust pin 9. The thrust beam upper edge strip 10 is located at the upper end of the thrust beam body and is connected to the engine block structure. The first thrust beam lug 11 is located on the left side of the thrust beam body and is used to connect with the third strut 3 to transmit lateral loads. The second thrust beam lug 12 is located on the right side of the thrust beam body and is used to connect with the second strut 2 to transmit lateral loads. The thrust pin 9 is located at the lower end of the thrust beam body.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the thrust beam body, the upper edge strip 10 of the thrust beam, the first thrust beam lug 11, the second thrust beam lug 12, and the thrust pin 9 are forged from titanium alloy into a single integral part. In this embodiment, the first thrust beam lug 11 is press-fitted with a bushing and then connected to the third support rod 3 by bolts, and the second thrust beam lug 12 is press-fitted with a bushing and then connected to the second support rod 2 by bolts.
[0039] The right side joint 6 comprises a first right side joint lug, a second right side joint lug and a right side joint upper edge strip which are integrally designed, the right side joint upper edge strip is connected with the body structure, the first right side joint lug is connected with the second thrust beam lug 12 through the second support rod 2, and the second right side joint lug is connected with the first support rod 1. The first right side joint lug is connected with the second support rod 2 through a bolt after a bushing and a joint bearing 16 are pressed, and the second right side joint lug is connected with the first support rod 1 through a bolt after a bushing and a joint bearing 16 are pressed.
[0040] The left side joint 5 adopts a similar structural design as the right side joint 6, as shown in Figure 3 The left side joint 5 comprises a first left side joint lug 13, a second left side joint lug 14 and a left side joint upper edge strip 15 which are integrally designed, the left side joint upper edge strip 15 is connected with the body structure, the first left side joint lug 13 is connected with the first thrust beam lug 11 through the third support rod 3, and the second left side joint lug 14 is connected with the fourth support rod 4. The first left side joint lug 13 is connected with the third support rod 3 through a bolt after a bushing and a joint bearing 16 are pressed, and the second left side joint lug 14 is connected with the fourth support rod 4 through a bolt after a bushing and a joint bearing 16 are pressed.
[0041] In the preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 Both ends of the first support rod 1, the second support rod 2, the third support rod 3 and the fourth support rod 4 are provided with double lug joints 18, and a lightening groove 17 is formed on the support rod body. In the embodiment, four lightening grooves 17 are formed on the support rod body to form a H-shaped cross section. The double lug joints 18 of each support rod are connected with the single lug joints of the engine through bolts. In order to avoid that the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 bear the load under the engine heading load condition, a joint bearing is pressed in the engine mounting joint and the left and right engine lateral joint lugs on both sides of the support rod; at the same time, the lugs connected with the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 are also pressed with joint bearings to prevent the support rod from bearing the torsional deformation when the body structure is torsionally deformed.
[0042] The engine rear suspension joint 8 is connected with the body through a rear suspension joint upper edge strip; the engine rear suspension joint 8 is connected with the engine through a bolt, and a small gap fit is adopted between the bolt and the bolt hole.
[0043] The hoisting type engine mounting structure of the application needs to provide mounting matching interfaces on the aircraft body structure, and the upper edge strip 10 of the thrust beam, the right side joint upper edge strip, the left side joint upper edge strip 15 and the engine rear suspension joint 8 are all fixed by fasteners. The engine hoisting is realized by the thrust pin 9, the first support rod 1, the fourth support rod 4 and the engine rear suspension joint 8. The thrust pin 9 of the engine hanging thrust beam 7 is inserted into the engine, which is used to bear the heading and lateral load of the engine. The first engine mounting joint is connected with the first support rod 1 after the bushing and the joint bearing 16 are pressed. The second engine mounting joint is connected with the fourth support rod 4 after the bushing and the joint bearing 16 are pressed.
[0044] The hoisting type engine mounting structure of the application transmits the thrust load and the heading load of the engine to the engine hanging thrust beam 7 through the thrust pin 9, and then transmits them to the body structure through the upper edge strip 10 of the thrust beam. The lateral load is transmitted to the second support rod 2 and the third support rod 3 through the thrust pin 9, and then transmitted to the body structure through the left side joint 5 and the right side joint 6. The vertical load is transmitted to the left side joint 5 and the right side joint 6 by the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4, and then diffused to the body structure. The roll moment of the engine is transmitted to the body structure through a pair of support reaction force couples generated by the left side joint 5, the right side joint 6 and the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 on both sides. The pitch moment is transmitted by the first support rod 1 and the fourth support rod 4 on both sides and the engine rear suspension joint 8. The yaw moment is transmitted to the body structure through the thrust pin 9, the second support rod 2, the third support rod 3, the left side joint 5, the right side joint 6 and the engine rear suspension joint 8.
[0045] The hoisting type engine mounting structure of the application is approximately composed of multiple triangular structures, and the heading, vertical, lateral, roll, pitch and yaw six degrees of freedom of the engine are fixed through four mounting points. The engine hanging thrust beam 7, the left side joint 5, the right side joint 6 and the engine rear suspension joint 8 are four independent structures which are respectively connected and fixed with the body structure, so that the mounting and dismounting are convenient, the force transmission is clear and direct, and the assembly difficulty and maintenance cost are reduced.
[0046] The hoisting type engine mounting structure of the application is connected with the engine at four points, can fix the six degrees of freedom, effectively diffuses the concentrated load, and ensures the strength and rigidity of the mounting structure. At the same time, this design simplifies the structure form, reduces the weight, shortens the dismounting period, and meets the engine maintenance requirements.
[0047] The hoisting engine mounting structure of the present application has certain practical application value. The design optimizes the structure form, reduces unnecessary complexity, and improves design efficiency. The efficient force transmission path ensures effective load transmission, improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure. In addition, the mounting structure is divided into four parts: the engine hanging thrust beam 7, the left joint 5, the right joint 6, and the engine rear suspension joint 8, reducing assembly difficulty and maintenance cost, and making engine disassembly and maintenance more convenient, improving aircraft maintainability. The integrated design of the thrust pin 9 and the engine hanging thrust beam 7 also reduces the number of fasteners. In terms of weight optimization, the design fully considers the lightweight requirement, minimizing the structure weight while meeting functional requirements.
[0048] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
