Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aircraft structure design, and in particular relates to a flight parameter recorder installation structure. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the flight data recorder is to provide objective evidence for flight accident investigation, find out the real cause of the accident, and prevent similar problems from happening again. As an airborne objective information recording device, the data provided by the flight data recorder can be used for accident investigation and analysis, aircraft maintenance, and improving equipment quality, which is of great significance to improving aircraft safety performance.

[0003] Because the environment that the flight parameter recorder is subjected to is extremely harsh when the plane crashes, the flight parameter recorder, which is an important criterion for accident handling, does not survive 100% reliably, resulting in the inability to read the flight record data, which creates great difficulties in scientifically determining the conclusion of the flight accident. In most cases, the reason why the data stored in the flight parameter recorder cannot be read is that the strong impact force when the plane crashes causes the protective structure on the outside of the storage module to be damaged, and the storage module is irreparably damaged. To improve the anti-crash performance of the protective flight parameter recorder, from the perspective of the protection of the recorder itself, it is necessary to use more advanced impact-resistant materials for the mechanical damage resistance structure of the protective flight parameter recorder and improve the impact-resistant design of the shell. From the perspective of external factors, it is necessary to reduce the impact force on the flight parameter recorder and prevent excessive local force.

[0004] The flight data recorder of previous aircraft models is installed in a similar way to other equipment, which is fixed to the body structure, and the firmness of the equipment installation connection is given priority. This firm connection method is equivalent to the flight data recorder being a rigid body with the aircraft when the aircraft crashes at high speed, and will be subject to strong impact.

[0005] Therefore, it is desired to have a technical solution to overcome or at least alleviate at least one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 3 This application is described in further detail.

[0030] The present application provides a flight parameter recorder installation structure, including a connecting rod 1 and a spring 4.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the first positioning plate 2 and the second positioning plate 3 are arranged in parallel on the connecting rod 1, and the first positioning plate 2 and the second positioning plate 3 divide the connecting rod 1 into three sections, namely the first connecting section, the second connecting section and the middle connecting section between the first connecting section and the second connecting section, wherein the first connecting section is fixedly connected to the flight parameter recorder; the second connecting section is fixedly connected to the body structure; and the middle connecting section is provided with a breaking section. The spring 4 is sleeved on the middle connecting section, and one end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the first positioning plate 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second positioning plate 3.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, Figure 3As shown, the flight parameter recorder includes four parts, namely a storage module and an anti-corrosion material layer, a thermal protection structural layer, and an anti-mechanical damage structural layer which are sequentially arranged on the outside of the storage module. The anti-corrosion material layer, the thermal protection structural layer, and the anti-mechanical damage structural layer together form the flight parameter recorder shell to protect the storage module.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, a mounting seat is provided on the anti-mechanical damage structural layer of the flight parameter recorder. The structural form of the mounting seat can be appropriately selected according to actual conditions. A mounting hole is provided on the mounting seat, and the first connecting section is provided with an external thread. The first connecting section passes through the mounting hole on the mounting seat and is fixedly connected to the mounting seat with a nut, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting rod 1 and the flight parameter recorder.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, a base is provided on the body structure, and the structural form of the base can be appropriately selected according to actual conditions. A support plate nut is fixedly installed on the base, and the second connecting section is provided with an external thread. The second connecting section is fixedly connected to the support plate nut, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting rod 1 and the body structure.

[0035] The flight parameter recorder installation structure of the present application, when the connecting rod 1 is installed with the flight parameter recorder and the body structure, the first positioning plate 2 and the second positioning plate 3 can realize the positioning of the installation height, and the first positioning plate 2 can be used as a preload force detection position, and the second positioning plate 3 can be used as the action position of the wrench during installation.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the size of the breaking section of the middle connecting section of the connecting rod 1 can be designed according to actual needs, so that when the overload is greater than or equal to the threshold, the breaking section breaks. Advantageously, in this embodiment, the threshold is designed to be 30g, where g is the acceleration of gravity.

[0037] The flight parameter recorder mounting structure of the present application connects the flight parameter recorder with the body structure through the flight parameter recorder mounting structure. When the flight parameter recorder mounting structure is subjected to an overload greater than or equal to 30g, the breaking section of the flight parameter recorder mounting structure breaks, and the flight parameter recorder and the body structure are separated from the fixed connection mode and switched to an elastic connection mode connected by spring 4, thereby extending the time of force action.

[0038] When an airplane crashes at high speed, the force borne locally on the flight parameter recorder housing can be described by the following formula:

[0039] ;

[0040] Where, F is the force locally borne by the flight parameter recorder housing, m is the mass of the flight parameter recorder, is the acceleration of the flight parameter recorder.

[0041] Under the premise that the aircraft crash speed is uncontrollable, prolonging the time of force action is equivalent to reducing the magnitude of the impact force, that is, reducing the magnitude of the acceleration that the flight parameter recorder is subjected to.

[0042] The flight parameter recorder installation structure of the present application adopts a weak connection method to connect the flight parameter recorder to the body structure, which prolongs the action time of the force, reduces the strong impact force, and avoids the problem that the flight parameter recorder shell is partially subjected to excessive impact damage, resulting in the inability to read the internal data.

[0043] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
