Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aviation manufacturing, and particularly relates to an airtight test joint for an aircraft cockpit system. Background Technique
[0002] The cockpit system is used to collect the air pressure value and the pressure change rate in the cockpit, and issue an ultra-high alarm when the set altitude value is exceeded to prevent dangerous situations such as hypoxia and coma of the pilot caused by insufficient air pressure. When the cockpit system conducts an airtight test, an air pump or an airtight test vehicle needs to be connected to the on-board cockpit environment parameter acquisition host for air extraction (simulating the pressure drop when the altitude increases); since the airtight joint of the on-board cockpit environment parameter acquisition host is an M4 metric internal thread interface, the air pump is equipped with a pagoda head thread interface (equipped with a rubber hose), and the diameter of the rubber hose is relatively large. When connecting to the M4 internal thread interface of the airtight joint of the on-board cockpit environment parameter acquisition host, airtightness cannot be guaranteed. It is necessary to use a fuse or binding wire to tie the joint part. Since the length of the protruding part of the interface is short (about 15 mm) and the operating space is limited, the tying operation is difficult, which affects the connection airtightness and further affects the test cycle and production progress. The airtight test vehicle is equipped with an M6 external thread interface (equipped with a rubber hose with a threaded joint), which cannot be connected to the airtight interface of the on-board cockpit environment parameter acquisition host, and thus the airtight test cannot be carried out. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of large limited operating space, difficult operation and weak connection airtightness, and provides an airtight test joint for an aircraft cockpit system.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions.
[0005] In the first aspect, the utility model provides an airtight test joint for an aircraft cockpit system, which includes a joint body, a pressure relief port, a first airtight input interface, a second airtight input interface and an airtight output interface. The pressure relief port and the airtight output interface are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the joint body. The first airtight input interface and the second airtight input interface are arranged side by side on the upper surface of the joint body. The upper ends of the first airtight input interface and the second airtight input interface are respectively provided with a first airtight interface plug and a second airtight interface plug. A first sealing washer is arranged at the connection between the first airtight input interface and the joint body, and a second sealing washer is arranged at the connection between the airtight output interface and the joint body. The first airtight input interface, the second airtight input interface and the airtight output interface are interconnected inside the joint body.
[0006] The utility model is further improved in that the joint body is a horizontally placed octagonal prism with a hollow cavity inside.
[0007] A further improvement of the present utility model lies in that the pressure relief port at one end of the joint body is a button with a spring plug.
[0008] A further improvement of the present utility model lies in that the first airtight input interface is an M6 threaded interface, which can be connected to an airtight test vehicle with a rubber hose having a threaded joint.

[0010] A further improvement of the present utility model lies in that the second airtight input interface is a taper-threaded interface, which can be connected to an air pump with a rubber hose.
[0011] A further improvement of the present utility model lies in that the outer side of the second airtight input interface is evenly distributed with threads. When connected to the hose of the air pump, the hose covers the threads.
[0012] A further improvement of the present utility model lies in that the second airtight interface plug at the upper end of the second airtight input interface is adapted to the taper-threaded interface, and a second airtight interface locking device is provided on the outer side of the second airtight interface plug.
[0013] A further improvement of the present utility model lies in that the airtight output interface is an M4 metric threaded output interface, which can be connected to the airtight test interface of an airborne cockpit environment parameter collector.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] For the airtight test joint of the aircraft cockpit system disclosed by the present utility model, the first airtight input interface, the second airtight input interface and the airtight output interface are interconnected in the internal cavity of the joint body, rationally utilizing the equipment space and increasing the space utilization rate. The airtight interface plugs provided at the upper ends of the first airtight input interface and the second airtight input interface can be tightened and sealed with the plugs when the interfaces are not in use, ensuring airtightness. At the same time, the setting of the sealing washer further strengthens the airtightness of the equipment connection, and using the plugs and the sealing washer to ensure airtightness reduces the operation difficulty. In addition, the input interface is provided on the upper surface of the joint body, and the pressure relief port and the output interface are provided at both ends of the joint body, rationally utilizing the equipment resources.
[0017] Further, the joint body of the present utility model is a horizontally placed octagonal prism, which increases the utilization rate of its surface.

[0018] Further, the pressure relief port at one end of the joint body of the present utility model is a button with a spring plug. When the pressure relief function of the airtight test equipment fails, pressing the pressure relief port button can perform pressure relief. This function is easy to operate and effectively reduces the operation difficulty.
[0019] Further, the interface caps of the first airtight input interface and the second airtight input interface of the present utility model are respectively adapted to the threads of their corresponding input interfaces. By screwing for encryption or opening, the airtightness of the equipment connection can be effectively improved. In combination with the sealing gasket, the connection airtightness is further ensured.
[0020] Further, when the second airtight input interface of the present utility model is connected to the air pump, the hose configured by the air pump covers at least three thread pitches outside the input interface to ensure the connection airtightness between the air pump and the airtight input interface.
[0021] Further, after the second airtight input interface of the present utility model is connected to the air pump hose, the hose connection is locked and fixed by a locking device, which further improves the connection airtightness between the air pump and the airtight input interface.
[0022] Further, the airtight output interface of the present utility model is connected to the airborne cockpit environment parameter acquisition host by using a threaded interface that is mutually adapted, and in combination with a sealing gasket, which ensures the connection airtightness at the airtight output port connection.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the joint body 1 of the airtight test joint for the aircraft cockpit system is an octagonal prism with a hollow cavity inside, placed horizontally. The first airtight input interface 2 and the second airtight input interface 4 are arranged side by side on the upper surface of the joint body 1. The first airtight input interface 2 is an M6 threaded interface, used to connect with the airtight test vehicle with a threaded joint rubber hose. The second airtight input interface 4 is a taper-threaded interface, used to connect with an air pump with a rubber hose. At the lower end of the first airtight input interface 2, there is a first sealing washer 10 adapted to the M6 threaded interface. At the upper ends of the first airtight input interface 2 and the second airtight input interface 4, there are respectively a first airtight interface plug 3 adapted to the M6 threaded interface and a second airtight interface plug 5 adapted to the taper-threaded interface. On the outside of the second airtight interface plug 5, there is also an airtight interface locking device 6.

When the second airtight input interface 4 is connected to the air pump, the rubber hose of the air pump covers at least three teeth 12 on the outside of the second airtight input interface 4. On the left and right ends of the joint body 1, there are respectively a pressure relief port 8 and an airtight output interface 7. The pressure relief port 8 is a button with a spring flap. When the pressure relief function of the airtight test equipment fails, the pressure relief port 8 button can be pressed to relieve pressure. The airtight output interface 7 is an M4 metric threaded output interface. At the connection between the airtight output interface 7 and the joint body 1, there is a second sealing washer 11 adapted to the taper-threaded interface. At the outer end of the airtight output interface 7, there is a third airtight interface plug 9 adapted to the M4 threaded interface. The airtight output interface 7 is internally connected to the first airtight input interface 2 and the second airtight input interface 4 in the joint body 1.
[0028] A method for using the airtight test joint for the aircraft cockpit system:
[0029] When using an air pump to conduct an airtight test on the airtight test joint for the aircraft cockpit system, unscrew the third airtight interface plug 9 along the thread of the airtight output interface 7, connect the airtight output interface 7 to the airtight test interface of the on-board cockpit environmental parameter collector, and tighten it along the M4 thread until the second sealing washer 11 is pressed tightly for sealing; after one end of the hose is connected to the air pump, the other end of the hose is connected to the second airtight input interface 4. The second airtight interface plug 5 of the second airtight input interface 4 is in an open state. There are evenly distributed teeth 12 on the outside of the second airtight input interface 4. When the hose is connected to it, it covers at least three teeth 12 to ensure airtightness. The first airtight input interface 2 is sealed with the first airtight interface plug 3. At this time, the connection between the air pump and the on-board cockpit environment collector is completed, and the airtight test can be carried out;
[0030] When performing an airtightness test using an airtightness test vehicle, unscrew the third airtight interface plug 9 along the thread of the airtight output interface 7, connect the airtight output interface 7 to the airtightness test interface of the on-board cockpit environmental parameter collector, and tighten it along the M4 thread until the second sealing washer 11 is tightly pressed for sealing; the first airtight interface plug 3 of the first airtight input interface 2 is in the open state. One end of the hose equipped with the airtightness test vehicle is connected to the airtight interface of the airtightness test vehicle, and the other end is connected to the first airtight input interface 2. After connection, tighten it along the M6 thread until the first sealing washer 10 is tightly pressed for sealing. After the second airtight interface plug 5 of the second airtight input interface 4 is tightened for sealing, lock and seal the airtight interface locking device 6 outside the second airtight interface plug 5. At this time, the connection between the airtightness test vehicle and the on-board cockpit environmental parameter collector is completed, and the airtightness test can be carried out;
[0031] After the airtightness test is completed, when the pressure relief valve of the air pump or the airtightness test vehicle is damaged and cannot relieve pressure, press the button of the pressure relief port 8. The plug inside the pressure relief port 8 is pressed down with the spring, and the pressure is released. After the pressure relief is completed, release the pressure relief port 8, and disassemble and connect the first airtight input interface 2, the second airtight input interface 4, and the airtight output interface 7 in sequence, and use the recovery plug.
[0032] The utility model can be tested using an air pump or an airtightness test vehicle, providing flexibility in operation, adapting to different test conditions and requirements, and including the design of using sealing washers and coated screw threads to ensure the airtightness of the connection parts, improving the test accuracy and reliability. The use of an airtight interface locking device can further enhance the sealing performance, protect the equipment from external influences, and extend the service life of the equipment. When the pressure relief valve of the air pump or the airtightness test vehicle is damaged, safe pressure relief can be achieved by pressing the button of the pressure relief port to prevent danger caused by excessive pressure. The airtightness test joint of the utility model is reasonably designed, easy to operate, has high airtightness and safety, and has good flexibility and adaptability, and can meet the high requirements for the airtightness of the aircraft cockpit system.
