Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fuel measurement module detection equipment, and particularly relates to a detection device for a fuel measurement module of an aircraft fuel measurement subsystem. Background Art
[0002] The fuel measurement subsystem is an important part of the aircraft fuel system, mainly including a fuel quantity measurement computer, a fuel quantity sensor, a temperature sensor, etc. With the development of technology, the integration degree of aircraft is getting higher and higher. In order to reduce the weight of the aircraft and increase the utilization rate of the aircraft space, the fuel quantity measurement computer is gradually replaced by a fuel measurement module and used nested in other computer systems.
[0003] With the cancellation of the whole fuel quantity measurement computer, the detection and acceptance of the fuel measurement module have become new problems. Since the manufacturers of fuel measurement modules generally produce fuel measurement modules separately and lack computer systems, they cannot conduct a full set of inspections. Secondly, purchasing a computer system as an acceptance platform is very costly, and there are technical barriers between manufacturers. There are too many uncontrollable factors in the inspection process, resulting in great difficulties in the acceptance of fuel measurement modules. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a detection device for a fuel measurement module of an aircraft fuel measurement subsystem, aiming to solve the above problems.
[0005] The utility model is mainly realized through the following technical solutions:

A plurality of connectors are provided on the periphery of the chassis, and the connectors are connected to an industrial control computer through cables. The motherboard is installed in the upper part inside the chassis, and the adapter board is installed on the upper side of the motherboard.

The upper side of the adapter board is connected to the fuel measurement module through an upper connection mechanism on the adapter, and a lower connection mechanism on the adapter corresponding to the motherboard is provided on the lower side of the adapter board.
[0010] To better implement the present utility model, further, a bracket is installed in the upper part inside the chassis, and the periphery of the motherboard is connected to the bracket through positioning pins. Installation strips are respectively provided on the upper periphery inside the chassis, and the bracket is received on the installation strips.
[0011] To better implement the present utility model, further, an installation flange is provided along the periphery of the top of the chassis, and a plurality of installation holes are provided on the installation flange.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] (1) The present utility model can quickly and accurately complete the factory acceptance of the fuel measurement module, facilitating subsequent fault detection and repair of the fuel measurement module. The present utility model can separately conduct acceptance inspections on the fuel measurement module, eliminating the need for system inspection items, avoiding the influence of other on-board modules on the inspection results during system inspection, reducing the acceptance process, shortening the acceptance time, improving the detection efficiency and detection cost, and having good practicability;
[0015] (2) The utility model can also be used in the maintenance of fuel measurement modules. During the maintenance or repair of an aircraft, generally, the fault point can only be located at the subsystem level and cannot be accurately located at the board level.
