Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aviation connection structures, and relates to a structure for installing an antenna on an aircraft fairing, in particular to an antenna connection structure on the fairing. Background Art

[0002] Some types of aircraft need to be equipped with multiple antennas outside the fuselage. When the antennas are inevitably arranged on the fuselage fairing structure due to overall requirements, it is necessary to locally strengthen the fairing structure and design the connection structure to meet the antenna installation requirements.

[0003] The existing antenna connection structure on the fairing is composed of the fuselage skin, airtight box, antenna mounting pad, and fairing skin. One side of the airtight box is connected to the fuselage skin, and the other side is directly connected to the fairing skin. The structure is strengthened by the antenna mounting pad, and the antenna is directly installed on the other side of the fairing skin. Due to the poor rigidity of the fairing skin, this structural form leads to poor installation processability, poor installation accuracy, and poor force transmission effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an antenna connection structure on a fairing, which ensures the processability and precision requirements of antenna installation.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] An antenna connection structure on a fairing includes an airtight box, the bottom of which is mounted on a fuselage skin, a through hole matching the airtight box structure is provided at a position of the fairing skin corresponding to the airtight box, the upper end of the airtight box extends out of the fairing skin through the through hole, and an interface for mounting an antenna is provided on the top of the airtight box.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes an L-shaped retaining ring, which is a ring-shaped structure with an L-shaped cross-section and is matched with the edge of the through hole of the fairing skin and the airtight box structure as a whole.

[0008] Furthermore, the L-shaped retaining ring is a structure composed of at least two petal structures.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided between the L-shaped retaining ring and the airtight box.

[0010] Furthermore, below the fuselage skin corresponding to the airtight box is the reinforced structure of the aircraft fuselage, specifically the "well"-shaped reinforced structure of the fuselage.

[0011] Furthermore, the side wall of the airtight box is an inclined surface which is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The utility model designs a new type of extended airtight box, which extends out of the fairing shape, and the bottom of the airtight box is connected to the fuselage reinforcement, and the force transmission is direct;

[0014] 2. The end of the airtight box is not directly connected to the fairing skin, but is transferred through an L-ring and a rubber part, which has low requirements on the positioning accuracy of the fairing and good processability;

[0015] 3. Add rubber pads at the opening gap between the fairing and the airtight box to prevent rainwater from entering the gap between the airtight box and the fairing skin without reducing the waterproof effect of the connection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] An antenna connection structure on a fairing includes an airtight box 3, the bottom of which is mounted on a fuselage skin 1, a through hole matching the structure of the airtight box 3 is provided at a position of the fairing skin 2 corresponding to the airtight box 3, the upper end of the airtight box 3 extends out of the fairing skin 2 through the through hole, and an interface for mounting an antenna is provided on the top of the airtight box 3.

[0028] It also includes an L-shaped retaining ring 4, which is a ring-shaped structure with an L-shaped cross section and is matched with the edge of the through hole of the fairing skin 2 and the structure of the airtight box 3 as a whole.

[0029] The L-shaped retaining ring 4 is a structure composed of at least two petal structures.

[0030] A sealing gasket 6 is provided between the L-shaped retaining ring 4 and the airtight box 3 .

[0031] Below the fuselage skin 1 corresponding to the airtight box 3 is the reinforced structure part of the aircraft fuselage, specifically the fuselage "well" shaped reinforcement structure 5.

[0032] The side wall of the airtight box 3 is a slope that is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top.

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] The airtight box 3 is an integrally machined box-shaped part of aluminum alloy. The flange at the bottom of the airtight box 3 is connected to the fuselage skin 1 and the fuselage "well"-shaped reinforcement structure 5. The top of the airtight box 3 passes through the notch of the finishing cover 2 and extends out of the fairing to provide an antenna installation platform. The positioning of the airtight box 3 is based on the positioning reference of the fuselage, while the fairing 2 is positioned based on its own positioning system. The airtight box 3 is not directly connected to the fairing 2 structure, and the two sets of coordinate systems are decoupled, which reduces the process difficulty.

[0035] The fuselage "well"-shaped reinforcement structure 5 is connected to the fuselage skin 1, forming the main load-bearing structure of the airtight box 3, transmitting the loads in all directions transmitted by the airtight box, and having a good force transmission effect;

One end of the airtight box is connected to a fuselage skin, and the other end is connected to the fairing skin through an L-shaped retaining ring and a rubber pad, and has good installation processability.

[0038] When the airtight box is connected to the fuselage, a "well" shaped reinforcement structure is adopted to meet the force transmission requirements of the airtight box.

[0039] The utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the original structure that the positioning accuracy of the fairing is high, the processability is poor, and the force transmission effect is not good.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
