Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aviation tooling, in particular to a special riveting clamp for preventing the skin of an aircraft from denting when riveting the skin of the aircraft. Background Technique

[0002] The skin is the outer covering of an aircraft and is the main component for maintaining the shape of the aircraft. At the same time, the skin directly faces the airflow and also undertakes a certain function of transmitting aerodynamic loads, which is crucial for the safety of the aircraft. Since the skin directly faces the airflow, when installing the skin onto the fuselage frame, it must be ensured that the surface is smooth without pits.

[0003] Currently, the skin is mainly riveted to the aircraft frame through rivets. During the process of riveting the skin, a riveting clamp needs to be used in cooperation with a riveting gun. The force of the riveting gun acts on the rivet through the riveting clamp to form the rivet. Since the skins of most modern aircraft are very thin, when riveting thin skins, if there is a large gap between the upper and lower skins or between the skin and the frame and the gap cannot be eliminated, when using a traditional riveting clamp for riveting, due to the relatively small force-applying end face at the end of the traditional riveting clamp, the skin around the riveting point is extremely prone to warping, resulting in pits on the skin surface and affecting the surface quality. The surface pits not only affect the appearance but also cause increased turbulence and flight resistance, directly affecting the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft. For supersonic and hypersonic aircraft, the adverse effects brought by the problem of skin denting are even greater. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a special riveting clamp for preventing the skin of an aircraft from denting when riveting the skin of the aircraft, which can effectively prevent the appearance of dents when riveting thin skins.

[0009] The second rod-shaped structure at the upper end of the riveting part of the riveting and clamping structure passes through the first round hole from below the second round hole of the lower section of the pressing piece; the spring is sleeved on the second rod-shaped structure from above the first round hole, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the spring stop at the upper end of the upper section of the pressing piece; the first rod-shaped structure at the lower end of the hammering part of the riveting and clamping structure passes through the spring from top to bottom and is fixedly connected to the second rod-shaped structure, and the shoulder of the hammering part of the riveting and clamping structure presses the upper end of the spring to keep the spring in a compressed state; the first rod-shaped structure and the second rod-shaped structure on the riveting and clamping structure can slide up and down smoothly in the first round hole of the pressing piece after being connected.
