At present, the rocker support of the door is the only positioning reference of the inspection tool. Therefore, the main form of the door switch test is to use the inspection tool to connect and locate the rocker support hole. At present, most of the tools use fork-ear supports and are equipped with steel pins, and the support surface and pin positioning products are used for inspection.
[0003] The above method has the following problems:
[0004] (1) Steel latches are relatively hard and are used frequently, which may easily damage the door rocker support holes;
[0005] (2) When the product is positioned on the support surface, friction will occur during rotation, which may easily damage the surface of the rocker support;
[0006] (3) Repairing or reworking damaged products increases the cost of aircraft manufacturing. Utility Model Content
