Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft technology, specifically to an aircraft mounting device with rapidly replaceable modules. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft mounting systems refer to specialized structures installed on the exterior of various aircraft (including fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles). Their core function is to support, fix, and connect various functional modules (such as reconnaissance equipment, communication relay devices, cargo containers, weapons and ammunition, and sensor pods) to enable the aircraft to expand its mission and diversify its functions. This not only affects the efficiency and effectiveness of mission execution but also relates to the aerodynamic performance, structural safety, and ease of operation of the aircraft.

[0003] The aircraft mounting devices mostly use bolt fastening, pin locking, or special interface coupling to install modules. This results in inconvenient module replacement, makes it impossible to switch between different modules continuously, requires special tools for disassembly and assembly, involves tightening a large number of bolts, and the installation and disassembly process is time-consuming, requires high skill from operators, and affects the efficiency of mission switching. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aircraft mounting device with quickly replaceable modules, so as to solve the problem of inconvenience in using existing aircraft mounting devices.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An aircraft mounting device with quick-change modules, including a mounting plate, and further comprising:

[0007] The connector has a sliding groove on the mounting plate, a fixing rod inside the sliding groove, and multiple connecting supports on the outside of the fixing rod.

[0009] The fixing mechanism is connected to the movable plate and presses and fixes the placed aircraft module by driving the pressure plate and the side plate to move closer to each other.

[0010] Based on the above technical solutions, the present invention also provides the following optional technical solutions:

[0011] In one alternative embodiment: the fixing mechanism includes a through groove, a rotating plate, and a guide rod. The through groove is provided inside the sleeve, and the guide rod is provided inside the fixing plate. Two symmetrical rotating plates are rotatably arranged outside the guide rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0028] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an aircraft mounting device with a quick-change module is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, including a mounting plate 3, and further comprising:

[0030] Connector 14, the mounting plate 3 is located below the mounting beam 2 of the aircraft body 1. The mounting plate 3 has a sliding groove 301 along its longitudinal direction. A fixing rod 10 is provided inside the sliding groove 301. Multiple sliding connecting supports 12 are sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 10. The connecting supports 12 are composed of two sets of semi-circular rings and are locked to the fixing rod 10 by fixing bolts 13 to achieve their positioning on the mounting plate 3. A connector 14 is vertically provided on the top of the connecting support 12. A pipe clamp 11 is rotatably provided on the top of the connector 14. The pipe clamp 11 is fixed by locking bolts 15. The pipe clamp 11 can be fixed on the mounting beam 2 of the aircraft, thereby realizing the connection between the entire mounting device and the aircraft body. The mounting plate 3 is connected to the body 1. A fixing plate 7 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 3. The fixing plate 7 is reinforced by ribs 16. Telescopic arms 5 are provided on both sides of the fixing plate 7 in the horizontal direction. The bottom end of the telescopic arm 5 is hinged to a load-bearing flap 6 that can be flipped upwards through a pivot. In the initial (non-working) position, the load-bearing flap 6 is tilted downwards to facilitate the insertion and removal of the module body 4. In the working position, the load-bearing flap 6 can be flipped upwards to a horizontal state. The load-bearing flap 6 is provided with a support protrusion 601 for lifting the module body 4 from the bottom. A connecting block 501 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the telescopic arm 5. A side plate 17 is provided on the connecting block 501. The side plate 17 is used to clamp the aircraft module from the side.

[0031] The transmission plate 9 and the fixed plate 7 have square grooves 701 on both sides. A sleeve 8 is slidably disposed inside the square groove 701. The side wall of the sleeve 8 is elastically connected to the transmission plate 9 by a spring, so that the transmission plate 9 has a certain buffering capacity. The transmission plate 9 passes through the connecting block 501 and slides with it. The bottom end of the transmission plate 9 passes into the bearing flap 6 and is provided with a movable column 901. The bearing flap 6 is provided with a transmission groove 602 that cooperates with the movable column 901. A movable plate 18 is slidably disposed inside the fixed plate 7. The bottom end of the movable plate 18 passes out of the fixed plate 7 and is provided with a pressure plate 19.

[0032] The fixing mechanism is connected to the movable plate 18. The module body 4 is placed between the bottom support protrusion 601 and the side plate 17. The bearing flap 6 rotates upward to a horizontal position. The bearing flap 6 drives the transmission plate 9 to move through the cooperation of its internal transmission groove 602 and the movable column 901, thereby driving the sleeve 8 to rise. The upward movement of the sleeve 8, through cooperation with the fixing mechanism, can drive the movable plate 18 to move downward, so that the pressure plate 19 descends and applies a vertical downward pressing force to the top of the module body 4. The side plate 17 provides lateral clamping force, realizing rapid compression and fixing of the module body 4 from the top and side.

[0033] like Figure 3-7 As shown in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism includes a through groove 801, a rotating plate 20, and a guide rod 21. The sleeve 8 has a through groove 801 inside, and the guide rod 21 is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate 7. Two symmetrical rotating plates 20 are rotatably installed outside the guide rod 21. The rotating plates 20 pass through the through groove 801 and slide with it. The bottom end of the rotating plate 20 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 18. The rotating plate 20 has an elongated groove inside, and the guide rod 21 passes through the groove and slides with it. The rotating plate 20 can slide along the guide rod 21. The bottom end of the rotating plate 20 is rotatably connected to the top of the movable plate 18 through a rotating shaft. When the sleeve 8 is driven to rise by the transmission plate 9, the inner wall of its through groove 801 will squeeze through the two rotating plates 20, causing the rotating plates 20 to rotate around the hinge point, thereby driving the movable plate 18 and the pressure plate 19 fixed to its bottom end to descend, thereby pressing the top of the module.

[0034] like Figure 3-7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting frame 23 is provided on the outside of the movable plate 18. The connecting frame 23 is elastically mounted on the movable plate 18 by an elastic member. Both ends of the connecting frame 23 are provided with pressure rods 25. One end of the telescopic arm 5 that passes through the fixed plate 7 is provided with a guide plate 26. The guide plate 26 has an inclined guide groove 261 that cooperates with the pressure rod 25. When the movable plate 18 is pressed down by the rotating plate 20, it can drive the connecting frame 23 and the pressure rod 25 to descend. The pressure rod 25 is pressed into the inclined guide groove 261, so that the guide plates 26 on both sides move closer to each other, which drives the telescopic arm 5 to move closer to each other in the horizontal direction. The side plates 17 move closer to each other and generate a clamping force on the aircraft module from both sides.

[0035] like Figure 4-7As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the guide rod 21 are provided with a return spring 22 to provide restoring force after unloading and drive the rotating plate 20 to reset. One end of the return spring 22 is connected to the rotating plate 20. A connecting spring 24 is provided between the two guide plates 26. A rotating shaft 181 is provided between the movable plate 18 and the pressure plate 19, so that the pressure plate 19 has a certain adaptive adjustment angle when it contacts the top of the module to ensure that the pressing surface fits.

[0036] like Figure 3-7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting support 12 is provided with a fixing bolt 13, and square holes 802 are provided on both sides of the outer side of the sleeve 8. The transmission plate 9 passes through the square hole 802 and slides with it. The bottom of the bearing flap 6 is provided with a locking block 27, and a screw 28 is provided between the two locking blocks 27. Nuts are provided at both ends of the screw 28, which can lock the two bearing flaps 6.

[0037] The above embodiments of the present invention provide an aircraft mounting device with quick module replacement. The mounting plate 3 is placed below the mounting beam 2 of the aircraft body 1, and the locking bolts 15 are tightened to fix the pipe clamp 11 to the mounting beam 2, thereby installing the entire mounting device on the aircraft. The bearing flap 6 is initially tilted downwards. The module body 4 to be mounted is placed between the two bearing flaps 6, and the two bearing flaps 6 are flipped upwards to rotate to a horizontal working position. The bearing flap 6 drives the transmission plate 9 and the sleeve 8 to slide upwards within the square groove 701. The sleeve 8 presses against the two rotating plates 20 through the through groove 801, causing the rotating plates... 20 rotates and drives the movable plate 18 to move downwards. The pressure plate 19 descends and presses the top of the module body 4. At the same time as the movable plate 18 descends, the connecting frame 23 and the pressure rod 25 on it descend. The pressure rod 25 presses into the inclined guide groove 261 of the two side guide plates 26. The two side guide plates 26 move closer to each other. The guide plates 26 drive the telescopic arm 5 fixed thereto to move, so that the side plates 17 installed on the telescopic arm 5 move from both sides to the center, clamping the module body 4. The screw 28 is inserted and locked by the nut. The module body 4 is quickly fixed on the mounting device through the synergistic effect of bottom support, top pressing and side clamping.
