Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] During the aircraft skin assembly process, a workpiece supporting device is required. The special-shaped curved surface supporting tooling provided by the utility model is specifically used to support special-shaped curved surface workpieces during the aircraft skin assembly process. In the process of using this tooling to support special-shaped curved surface workpieces, it is necessary to adjust the height of the supporting parts in the workpiece according to actual usage requirements to ensure the normal assembly of the aircraft skin.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a special-shaped curved surface supporting tooling, including a jig 1, a support 2 is installed on the top outer wall of the jig 1, a micrometer 3 is arranged in the support 2, a pin hole 150 is opened at one end of the movable shaft of the micrometer 3, a support member 140 is inserted in the pin hole 150, a special-shaped curved surface workpiece 10 is supported on the support member 140, an adjusting column 130 is installed at the bottom of the micrometer 3, and the height of the movable shaft of the micrometer 3 and the support member 140 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting column 130.

[0026] It should be noted that when it is necessary to support the special-shaped curved surface workpiece 10, the staff rotates the adjustment column 130 on the micrometer 3 so that the height of the support member 140 is adapted to the required height of the special-shaped curved surface workpiece 10, and multiple special-shaped curved surface support fixtures provided by the utility model are used to complete the support of the special-shaped curved surface workpiece 10. During the support process, the height of the support member 140 in each special-shaped curved surface support fixture is adjusted individually as needed until it contacts the special-shaped curved surface workpiece 10 to provide support. The micrometer 3 is set to make the height of the support member 140 more accurate and precise when adjusting the height, which is in line with the high progress requirements during the assembly of aircraft skins. By supporting the special-shaped curved surface workpiece 10 with multiple special-shaped curved surface support fixtures, it can be suitable for aircraft sections of different sizes. The support member 140 is inserted into the pin hole 150 on one end of the movable shaft of the micrometer 3, so that the support member 140 is easy to disassemble, which is convenient for replacement or maintenance of the support member 140 and convenient for use.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the support member 140 includes a pin 1403 inserted into the pin hole 150 , a mounting seat 1404 is installed on the top of the pin 1403 , a solid ball 1401 is installed in the mounting seat 1404 , and a limiting plate 1402 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting seat 1404 .

[0028] It should be noted that by inserting the pin 1403 into the pin hole 150, the process of disassembling and installing the support member 140 is simple and quick, and it is convenient for the staff to use. The solid ball 1401 can be used to support the special-shaped curved workpiece 10, and the limiting plate 1402 can make the solid ball 1401 exposed.

[0029] like Figure 7 As shown, the support member 140 includes a pin 1403 inserted into the pin hole 150, a mounting seat 1404 is installed on the top of the pin 1403, a rubber inflatable ball 8 is installed in the mounting seat 1404, a limiting plate 1402 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting seat 1404, and an air pump 9 for deflating and inflating the rubber inflatable ball 8 is installed at one end of the mounting seat 1404.

[0030] It should be noted that, according to actual usage, the solid ball 1401 can be replaced with a rubber inflatable ball 8. Compared with the solid ball 1401, the outer wall of the rubber inflatable ball 8 is elastic, which is beneficial to avoid wear on the surface of the special-shaped curved workpiece 10, and when the special-shaped curved workpiece 10 is placed on the rubber inflatable ball 8, it plays a buffering role. By setting the air pump 9, the hardness of the rubber inflatable ball 8 can be adjusted. At the same time, when the gas inside the rubber inflatable ball 8 is insufficient, it can be replenished, which is convenient for use.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a set screw 120 is installed on the outer wall of the micrometer 3.

[0032] It should be noted that by setting the set screw 120, when the movable end of the micrometer 3 is moved to the desired position, the position of the movable end of the micrometer 3 can be fixed by tightening the set screw 120, ensuring that the movable end of the micrometer 3 does not move in a stable position, thereby ensuring that the position of the support member 140 does not move, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of supporting the special-shaped curved surface workpiece 10 and is convenient for use.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a groove 110 is formed on the top outer wall of the support 2, a flange 160 is sleeved on the outer wall of the micrometer 3, the micrometer 3 and the flange 160 are inserted into the groove 110, a pressure plate 4 and a countersunk screw 5 are provided in the groove 110, and the micrometer 3 and the flange 160 are fixed in the groove 110 of the support 2 by the pressure plate 4 and the countersunk screw 5.

[0034] It should be noted that during installation, the micrometer 3 is inserted into the groove 110 from top to bottom. The flange 160 is arranged so that the micrometer 3 will not continue to move downward. The micrometer 3 can be fixed on the support 2 by the cooperation of the pressure plate 4 and the countersunk screw 5.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom outer wall of the support 2 and the bottom outer wall of the frame 1 are both provided with screw clearance holes and fixing holes, and the screw clearance holes and fixing holes on the support 2 are respectively provided with fixing screws 7 and cylindrical pins 6, and the fixing screws 7 and cylindrical pins 6 are installed in the screw clearance holes and fixing holes on the frame 1 through the screw clearance holes and fixing holes on the support 2.

[0036] It should be noted that when installing the support 2 on the frame 1, first insert the cylindrical pin 6 into the fixing hole on the frame 1 through the fixing hole on the support 2 to preliminarily fix the position of the support 2, so that the screw clearance hole on the support 2 corresponds to the screw clearance hole on the frame 1, and then install the fixing screw 7 through the screw clearance hole to fix the support 2 on the frame 1. The support 2 is detachable, which is conducive to the subpackaging and transportation of this support tooling.
