Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of actuating cylinders, in particular to an actuating cylinder for aircraft structure ground static strength tests. Background Art

[0002] During aircraft structure ground static strength tests, loads are applied through an actuating loading device, which includes an actuating cylinder and an actuating cylinder base. The cylinder body of the actuating cylinder is connected to the actuating cylinder base through a spherical plain bearing. When applying loads to the test piece through the above actuating loading device, the actuating cylinder base is fixed, and the piston rod of the actuating cylinder is connected to the test piece.

[0003] During a certain aircraft structure ground static strength test, it is necessary to fix the actuating cylinder base of the actuating loading device to the ground and keep the cylinder body of the actuating cylinder of the actuating loading device perpendicular to the ground. However, since the cylinder body of the actuating cylinder is connected to the actuating cylinder base through a spherical plain bearing and can rotate arbitrarily relative to the actuating cylinder base, when the test personnel install it, the actuating cylinder is prone to tipping due to its own weight, causing the cylinder body of the actuating cylinder to deviate from the perpendicular to the ground, ultimately affecting the magnitude and direction of the applied load. In severe cases, it will damage the test piece and even threaten the safety of the test personnel.

[0004] The Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN110294144B discloses an actuating cylinder bracket and an actuating loading device having the same. The bracket can support the actuating cylinder to keep the actuating cylinder in a vertical state. However, during aircraft structure ground static strength tests, sometimes it is necessary to adjust the load application direction of the actuating cylinder, and the above invention cannot achieve load application at different angles to the test piece.

[0029] In order to better explain the present utility model for easy understanding, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings through specific implementation manners.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , this utility model provides a hydraulic cylinder used for the ground static strength test of an aircraft structure, which includes a hydraulic cylinder body 1, a base 2 and a limit adjustment mechanism 4;

[0031] On the base 2, fixed plates 3 arranged symmetrically left and right are fixedly installed.

[0032] The rotating shaft is fixed at the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder body 1 and is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 3;

[0033] The limit adjustment mechanism 4 includes a housing, a worm gear 41 and a worm 42;

[0034] One end of the worm gear 41 is connected to the rotating shaft and is arranged inside the housing;

[0035] The worm 42 is meshed with the worm gear 41. The worm 42 is arranged inside the housing, and both ends of the worm 42 extend out of the housing;

[0036] During use, rotate the worm 42 to drive the worm gear 41 to rotate. The worm gear 41 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, so as to adjust the deflection angle of the hydraulic cylinder body 1, and further adjust the load application direction of the hydraulic cylinder. Moreover, in the connection mode of the worm gear 41 and the worm 42, the worm 42 can drive the worm gear 41 to rotate, while the worm gear 41 cannot drive the worm 42 to rotate. This makes the adjusted hydraulic cylinder body 1 not tilt under the action of gravity.

[0037] In this embodiment, the body of the worm 42 is connected to the inner wall of the housing through bearings near both ends. One end of the worm 42 is provided with an internal hexagon socket head cap. Select a corresponding internal hexagon wrench to rotate the worm 42, so as to control the rotation of the worm 42.

[0038] In this embodiment, a spirit level is installed on the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder body 1, and the levelness of the hydraulic cylinder body 1 is obtained through the spirit level.

[0039] In this embodiment, the connection between the rotating shaft and the fixed plate 3 adopts a bearing connection.

[0040] In this embodiment, the worm gear 41 is connected to the rotating shaft through a planetary reduction gear set. The setting of the planetary reduction gear set is beneficial to accurately adjust the deflection angle of the hydraulic cylinder body 1.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0042] Rotating the worm 42 drives the worm wheel 41 to rotate. The worm wheel 41 drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which is used to adjust the deflection angle of the actuator body 1, and further adjust the load application direction of the actuator. Moreover, in the connection mode of the worm wheel 41 and the worm 42, the worm 42 can drive the worm wheel 41 to rotate, while the worm wheel 41 cannot drive the worm 42 to rotate. This prevents the actuator body 1 from tilting under the action of gravity after the angle is adjusted.
