[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution

[0027] Refer to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, a new hatch fixing structure includes a hatch 1. A connecting component 2 is arranged inside the hatch 1. The connecting component 2 includes a plastic plug 201 arranged inside the hatch 1. An axial steel nail 202 is inserted into the plastic plug 201. A socket hole 203 is opened on one side of the hatch 1. The axial steel nail 202 is inserted into the socket hole 203. A 3M tape is pasted on the top of the plastic plug 201. The plastic plug 201 is adhered to the inner top wall of the hatch 1 through the 3M tape. Epoxy resin is bonded at the connection between the plastic plug 201 and the hatch 1

[0028] By using a template to drill the socket hole 203 on the hatch 1, and then drilling holes on the aircraft in the same way. The sizes of the socket hole 203 and the axial steel nail 202 are matched. First, paste the 3M tape on the top of the plastic plug 201, and then stick it to the inner top wall of the hatch 1 through the 3M tape. After aligning the axial steel nail 202 with the socket hole 203, apply epoxy resin at the connection between the plastic plug 201 and the hatch 1 to complete the fixation of the plastic plug 201. The axial steel nail 202 is inserted into the socket hole 203 and the holes drilled on the aircraft. The hatch 1 and the aircraft are fixed together through the plastic plug 201 and the axial steel nail 202. There is no need to drill holes on the top of the hatch 1, which not only increases the aesthetics but also avoids the paint surface depression on the top of the hatch 1

[0029] Refer to Figures 2-6, the plastic bolt 201 is threadedly connected with two bolts 3. Two fixing frames 4 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bolt 3. A connecting rod 5 is inserted into the fixing frame 4. An arc-shaped fixing block 6 is fixedly installed between the ends of the two connecting rods 5 away from the fixing frame 4. The arc-shaped fixing block 6 abuts against the inner wall of the hatch cover 1. A gear 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bolt 3. The gear 7 is located inside the fixing frame 4. A rack 8 meshed with the gear 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 5 located inside the fixing frame 4. The bottom of the rack 8 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the fixing frame 4.

[0030] The adaptability of the plastic bolt 201 to connect the hatch cover 1 through tape and epoxy resin is poor. In harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity or strong vibration, the connection may fail, thus affecting the safety performance of the aircraft. Therefore, it needs to be improved.

[0031] First, when the bolt 3 is rotated counterclockwise, it can drive the fixing frame 4, the connecting rod 5 and the arc-shaped fixing block 6 to swing upward. At the same time, the bolt 3 drives the gear 7 to rotate counterclockwise. When the gear 7 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the rack 8 to slide to the left and drives the connecting rod 5 to slide out of the fixing frame 4. After the connecting rod 5 slides out of the fixing frame 4, the overall length between the fixing frame 4 and the connecting rod 5 is increased, and the arc-shaped fixing block 6 abuts against the inner wall of the hatch cover 1, making the arc-shaped fixing block 6 tightly abut against the inner wall of the hatch cover 1.

[0032] The fixing frame 4, the connecting rod 5 and the arc-shaped fixing block 6 cooperate to support the plastic bolt 201 inside the hatch cover 1, making the plastic bolt 201 more stable. When the bolt 3 is screwed to the appropriate position, a nut can be screwed onto the bolt 3 to make the connection between the bolt 3, the fixing frame 4 and the plastic bolt 201 tighter. At the same time, the nut makes the bolt 3 stable and not prone to rotation.

[0033] Refer to Figures 2-6 , the outer wall of the fixing frame 4 abuts against the outer wall of the plastic bolt 201, the outer wall of the gear 7 abuts against the inner wall of the fixing frame 4. One side of the arc-shaped fixing block 6 is integrally formed into an arc, and the arc-shaped side of the arc-shaped fixing block 6 is adapted to the arc of the inner wall of the hatch cover 1.

[0034] The outer wall of the fixing frame 4 abuts against the outer wall of the plastic bolt 201, so that when the fixing frame 4 swings following the bolt 3, it can slide along the outer wall of the plastic bolt 201. One side of the arc-shaped fixing block 6 is set as an arc to facilitate fitting with the inner wall of the hatch cover 1, thus more conveniently supporting inside the hatch cover 1.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 , two springs 10 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing frame 4. A fixing plate 13 is arranged on one side of the fixing frame 4. The ends of the springs 10 away from the fixing frame 4 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 13. A clamping plate 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate 13. One side of the clamping plate 12 is located between the gear 7 and the rack 8.

[0036] After adjusting the overall length of the fixed frame 4 and the connecting rod 5, in order to prevent the connecting rod 5 from sliding back into the fixed frame 4, first pull the fixed plate 13 to move the clamping plate 12 away from between the gear 7 and the rack 8 before moving the rack 8. Then, after the position of the rack 8 is moved, release the fixed plate 13, and the spring 10 will bounce back to its original position and pull the clamping plate 12 back between the gear 7 and the rack 8, causing the clamping plate 12 to be stuck between the gear 7 and the rack 8. At this time, the gear 7 and the rack 8 can no longer move. And with the cooperation of the nut to fix the bolt 3, the gear 7 is even less likely to rotate, making the positions of the rack 8 and the connecting rod 5 more stable.

[0037] Refer to Figure 3 , a slide bar 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed plate 13. The slide bar 11 is inserted into the fixed frame 4, and the slide bar 11 is located inside the spring 10.

[0038] When the fixed plate 13 pulls the spring 10, the slide bar 11 will slide along the fixed frame 4. And when the fixed plate 13 is released, the slide bar 11 will still slide along the fixed frame 4. The insertion of the slide bar 11 into the fixed frame 4 makes the clamping plate 12 and the fixed plate 13 can only move along the inclined direction of the fixed frame 4, avoiding tilting.

[0039] Refer to Figure 3 , the fixed frame 4 is provided with a square through groove 9. The clamping plate 12 and the rack 8 are both located inside the square through groove 9. A groove 14 is opened at the top of the fixed plate 13.

[0040] The square through groove 9 provides space for the movement of the clamping plate 12 and also provides space for the sliding of the rack 8, enabling the rack 8 to have enough space to move, facilitating the retraction or extension of the connecting rod 5. The groove 14 makes the fixed plate 13 easier to be manipulated. The user can easily pull the fixed plate 13 by buckling the finger into the groove 14.

[0041] Refer to Figures 2-6 , the fixed frame 4 is provided with a chamber 15. An installation rod 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the chamber 15. Installation blocks 17 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the connecting rod 5 and the rack 8. A slider 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation block 17. The slider 16 is located inside the chamber 15 and is slidably connected to the outer wall of the installation rod 18.

[0042] The chamber 15 provides space for the sliding of the slider 16. When the connecting rod 5 and the rack 8 move, they slide along the outer wall of the chamber 15 through the slider 16 and the installation block 17, making the movement of the connecting rod 5 and the rack 8 more stable. The installation rod 18 provides support and guidance for the connecting rod 5 and the rack 8, and also prevents the connecting rod 5 and the rack 8 from shifting during sliding.

[0043] Refer to Figure 6, a knob 19 is fixedly installed at one end of the bolt 3 away from the plastic plug 201, and the knob 19 is located outside the fixed frame 4.

[0044] The user can hold the knob 19 by hand to turn the bolt 3, and the bolt 3 can be driven to rotate without tools.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] The jacking holes 203 are drilled in the hatch cover 1 through a template, and then the same method is used to drill holes on the aircraft. The sizes of the jacking holes 203 and the axial steel nails 202 are matched. First, 3M tape is pasted on the top of the plastic plug 201, and then the plastic plug 201 is adhered to the inner top wall of the hatch cover 1 through the 3M tape. After aligning the axial steel nail 202 with the jacking hole 203, epoxy resin is applied at the connection between the plastic plug 201 and the hatch cover 1 to complete the fixation of the plastic plug 201. The axial steel nail 202 is inserted into the jacking holes 203 and the holes drilled on the aircraft, and the hatch cover 1 and the aircraft are fixed together through the plastic plug 201 and the axial steel nail 202. There is no need to drill holes on the top of the hatch cover 1, which not only increases the aesthetics but also avoids the paint surface depression on the top of the hatch cover 1.

[0047] The adaptability of the plastic plug 201 to connect the hatch cover 1 through tape and epoxy resin is poor. In harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity or strong vibration, the connection may fail, thus affecting the safety performance of the aircraft. Therefore, it needs to be improved;

[0048] First, when the bolt 3 is rotated counterclockwise, it can drive the fixed frame 4, the connecting rod 5 and the arc-shaped fixing block 6 to swing upward. At the same time, the bolt 3 drives the gear 7 to rotate counterclockwise. When the gear 7 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the rack 8 to slide to the left and drives the connecting rod 5 to slide outside the fixed frame 4. After the connecting rod 5 slides out of the fixed frame 4, the overall length between the fixed frame 4 and the connecting rod 5 is increased, and the arc-shaped fixing block 6 abuts against the inner wall of the hatch cover 1, so that the arc-shaped fixing block 6 tightly abuts against the inner wall of the hatch cover 1;

[0049] The fixed frame 4, the connecting rod 5 and the arc-shaped fixing block 6 cooperate to support the plastic plug 201 inside the hatch cover 1, making the plastic plug 201 more stable. When the bolt 3 is screwed to the appropriate position, a nut can be screwed on the bolt 3 to make the connection between the bolt 3, the fixed frame 4 and the plastic plug 201 tighter. At the same time, the nut makes the bolt 3 stable and will not rotate easily.
