Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aviation manufacturing, in particular to a skin rolling forming device used for aircraft. Background Art
[0002] The fuselage structural design of modern aircraft is a key factor in ensuring flight safety, improving transportation efficiency and reducing operating costs. Traditional fuselage structural designs, including frame type, monocoque type and semi-monocoque type, have been widely used and verified in the field of large passenger aircraft. These designs provide the aircraft with the necessary strength and rigidity to withstand various loads during flight by combining longitudinal elements (such as long stringers and girders) and transverse elements (such as bulkheads) and skins.
[0003] However, with the rapid development of drone technology and the unmanned transport aircraft market, traditional fuselage structure design faces new challenges. The requirements for fuselage structure of aircraft such as unmanned transport aircraft are different from those of manned passenger aircraft. They pay more attention to structural simplification, ease of assembly, and overall weight reduction. This is because simplified structures can reduce manufacturing costs and facilitate rapid production and maintenance; while lightweight structures help improve fuel efficiency and load capacity, thereby enhancing economy.
[0004] The existing aviation standard HB-0-11 reinforcement groove is mainly for sheet metal parts inside the aircraft, and the production process of large structural parts such as skin is not considered enough. Therefore, developing an economical molding process suitable for large integrated ultra-light skin parts is of great significance to promote the development of domestic civil aircraft in the field of unmanned cargo transportation.

[0031] The structural frame 5 is provided with a position adjustment device 2 for adjusting the horizontal position of the skin; the position adjustment device 2 is fixedly arranged on the bottom side of the structural frame 5, and the position adjustment device 2 includes three guide rails 9, and a slidable skin fixing clamp 11 is arranged on the upper end of the guide rails 9.
[0032] The structural skeleton 5 is also provided with 5 depth adjustment devices 3 for adjusting the processing depth of the forming wheel module 1; the depth adjustment device 3 is arranged at the upper end of the forming wheel module 1, and the depth adjustment device 3 includes a first nut 16 fixed inside the top edge of the structural skeleton 5, a screw 15 adapted to the nut, a hand wheel 14 fixed to the top of the screw, and a second nut 17 arranged at the bottom of the screw 15, the second nut 17 is connected to the forming wheel module 1 and has a thread rotation direction opposite to that of the first nut 16, and the screw 15 is rotated to drive the forming wheel module 1 to move up and down. The forming wheel module 1 provides power, and the forming wheel 24 acts as a punch, and cooperates with the forming die 4 to extrude the skin. Through the cooperation of various components, various shapes of rolled rib skins 6 can be adapted to improve the forming effect.
[0033] This embodiment has also been adaptively improved according to the usage scenario.
