[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application provides an externally mounted aircraft interior noise reduction observation window assembly, including: a pressure ring 1, an E-shaped soft ring sleeve 2, and a double-layer transparent component 3.

[0032] Specifically, the pressure ring 1 has an L-shaped cross-section and includes a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate, forming a receiving cavity between the first and second pressure plates. It is understood that the length of the first pressure plate is greater than the length of the second pressure plate to facilitate the connection between the first pressure plate and the aircraft interior cylindrical observation window panel. The length of the second pressure plate is adapted to the thickness of the aircraft interior cylindrical observation window panel to prevent an excessively long second pressure plate from obstructing the aircraft interior cylindrical observation window.

[0033] The E-shaped flexible ring 2 is installed in the receiving cavity and is bonded to the pressure ring 1 with adhesive. The E-shaped flexible ring 2 has two grooves. The double-layer transparent part 3 is installed in the groove of the E-shaped flexible ring 2.

[0034] The external aircraft interior noise reduction observation window assembly of this application is assembled by first snapping the double-layer transparent piece 3 into the groove of the E-shaped soft ring 2, then inserting the combination of the double-layer transparent piece 3 and the E-shaped soft ring 2 into the receiving cavity of the pressure ring 1, and finally bonding and fixing the E-shaped soft ring 2 to the pressure ring 1 with adhesive. After the aircraft interior noise reduction observation window assembly is assembled, it is installed from the outside of the aircraft interior into the end of the cylindrical observation window of the aircraft interior, and the pressure ring 1 is fixed to the wall panel of the cylindrical observation window of the aircraft interior with fasteners.

[0035] Depending on the actual needs, either metal or non-metal can be selected as the material for the pressure ring 1. In a preferred embodiment of this application, the adhesive used to connect the pressure ring 1 and the E-shaped flexible ring 2 is an epoxy resin adhesive or an acrylic adhesive.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the cross-sectional shape of the two grooves of the E-shaped flexible ring 2 matches the edge contour of the double-layer transparent part 3, for clamping and cushioning the double-layer transparent part 3. The E-shaped flexible ring 2 must be made of a non-metallic material with a certain amount of compression and good sound insulation effect; preferably, the E-shaped flexible ring 2 is made of silicone rubber or fluororubber.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the double-layer transparent component 3 comprises two layers of transparent components arranged parallel to each other, with an air gap between the two layers. The groove size on the E-shaped flexible ring 2 must match the thickness of the double-layer transparent component 3. The thickness of the air gap between the double-layer transparent components 2 is determined by the protrusion in the middle of the E-shaped flexible ring 2. The thickness of the double-layer transparent component 3 and the thickness of the air gap are designed according to the aircraft's sound insulation and noise reduction requirements. The double-layer transparent component 3 needs to be made of a rigid non-metallic material with good light transmittance and meeting strength requirements. In this embodiment, the double-layer transparent component 3 is an plexiglass plate or a polycarbonate plate.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the fasteners used for assembling the noise reduction observation window assembly for the aircraft interior are bolts, and the first pressure plate is provided with mounting holes for mounting the bolts.

[0039] The external aircraft interior noise reduction observation window assembly of this application comprises a pressure ring 1, which is an L-shaped rotating annular body; an E-shaped soft ring sleeve 2, which is an E-shaped soft material annular structure; and a double-layer transparent component 3, which consists of two transparent layers. The double-layer transparent component 3 is snapped into the groove of the E-shaped soft ring sleeve 2, and then together with the E-shaped soft ring sleeve 2, is installed into the receiving cavity of the pressure ring 1. After assembly, it is installed from the outside of the aircraft interior cylindrical observation window at the end. This application can achieve sound insulation and noise reduction of the aircraft interior observation window. During installation, the assembly is installed on the outside of the aircraft interior cylindrical observation window, making installation simple.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
