Description

Technical Field

[0002] The tie rod structure is one of the commonly used structural forms of aircraft, which has the characteristics of direct and clear load transmission. Common tie rod forms include combined type and welded type.

[0003] Combined tie rods usually include tie rod joints and rod bodies. Tie rod joints and rod bodies are connected by threads or bolts. Tie rod joints are solid structures and are heavy. For threaded tie rods, the thread form and specifications affect the strength and fatigue performance of the tie rods. For bolted tie rods, the bolts need to pass through the tie rod joint body and the rod body, which weakens the tie rod joint and the rod body to a certain extent. At the same time, there is stress concentration around the bolt hole, which affects the strength and fatigue performance of the tie rod.

[0004] The welding type uses welding technology to connect the tie rod joint and the rod body into a whole. This type of tie rod will produce certain internal stress at the weld, which will cause the static strength and fatigue performance of the tie rod to decrease. In order to achieve a certain load-bearing capacity and fatigue performance, a certain weight cost needs to be paid.

[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
