DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. 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.

[0022] like Figure 1-6 An aircraft tail elevator intersection joint shown includes:

[0023] The fixed joint 100 is fixed on the beam of the elevator 500, and a through hole 103 is provided in the center of the fixed joint 100;

[0024] The suspension joint 200 has one end fixedly connected to the fixed joint 100 and the other end extending from the through hole 103 and connected to the suspension arm 600 in the horizontal stabilizer.

[0025] Specifically, the through hole 103 in the center of the fixed joint 100 is a cross-shaped hole, and the entire joint is made of 7050 aluminum alloy material using a machining process.

[0026] It should be noted that the design of the cross hole reduces the weight as much as possible while ensuring the connection strength, and at the same time, it also facilitates the insertion of the hanging joint 200; the 7050 aluminum alloy material has the advantages of high strength, good toughness, excellent fatigue resistance, good corrosion resistance, good processing performance, high hardness, low density and thermal stability.

[0027] Furthermore, the fixing joint 100 includes a pair of side plates 101 connected via a bottom plate 102 , and a through hole 103 is formed on the bottom plate 102 .

[0028] Specifically, the bottom plate 102 and the side plate 101 are both flat plate structures.

[0029] It should be noted that such a design has a simple structure and the flat structure is easy to install.

[0030] Furthermore, the two side plates 101 are connected to the bottom plate 102 via two pairs of fixed joint ear plates 104 , and the upper end of the hanging joint 200 is processed with a hanging joint ear plate 204 that cooperates with the fixed joint ear plate 104 , and is connected to the fixed joint ear plate 104 via fasteners 300 .

[0031] Specifically, the ear plate of the hanging joint 200 extends from the through hole 103 between the fixed joint ear plates 104 and is connected by the fastener 300 to save installation space. The fastener 300 includes a connecting bolt 301, a connecting nut 302, a connecting gasket 303 and a cotter pin 304.

[0032] Furthermore, the suspension joint 200 is U-shaped as a whole, and a fastener 300 for connecting with the suspension arm 600 is installed in the middle.

[0033] Specifically, the U-shaped hanging joint 200 facilitates the insertion and connection of the hanging arm 600 therewith.

[0034] Furthermore, the hanging joint 200 includes two transition parts 202 connecting two upper connecting parts 201 and two lower hanging parts 203, the bottoms of the two lower hanging parts 203 are connected via the lower connecting part 205, the fastener 300 is installed on the lower hanging part 203, and the distance between the two upper hanging parts is greater than the distance between the two lower hanging parts 203.

[0035] Specifically, the structure designed in this way forms a sliding opening that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which facilitates the direct sliding of the suspension and makes installation more convenient.

[0036] Furthermore, the fastener 300 is also provided with a grounding wire connecting the angle piece 400 .

[0037] It should be noted that the grounding wire connecting angle piece 400 is installed on a fastener 300, and the grounding wire connecting angle piece 400 is installed on the connecting bolt 301 of the fixed joint 100 and the hanging joint 200. It can act as a gasket and connect the grounding wire to avoid the grounding wire being directly connected to the joint.

[0038] The fixed joint 100 of the utility model is connected to the elevator 500 by means of draw nails, the bottom plate 102 of the fixed joint 100 is connected to the front beam of the elevator 500 by means of rivets, one end of the hanging joint 200 is connected to the fixed joint 100 by means of a fastener 300, and the other end of the hanging joint 200 extends into the elevator 500 and is connected to the suspension arm 600 of the elevator 500 by means of a fastener 300. Compared with the prior art, the number of internal structural parts of the elevator 500 is reduced, and the disassembly is convenient, and the required installation space is small.

[0039] The above embodiments are only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made to the utility model without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
