[0002] The tie rod structure is one of the commonly used structural forms of aircraft. It mainly bears tensile and compressive loads and has the characteristics of single load transmission, clear and reliable. It is usually installed between two fixed structures, and the adjustable length is convenient for tolerance compensation during installation. At present, the adjustable length tie rods commonly used in aircraft are adjusted in length through the positive and negative threads at both ends of the tie rod. Stop rings, anti-loosening nuts and fuses are generally used to prevent the threaded connection from loosening. The inner side of the stop ring is inserted into the keyway of the tie rod joint, and the outer side is inserted into the notch of the tie rod body. After the anti-loosening nut is used to compact the stop ring, the stop washer and the anti-loosening nut are fixed by the fuse.
