Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aircraft skin drilling, in particular to an aircraft skin drilling fixture. Background Technique
[0002] Previously, due to the limitations of assembly and sheet metal part manufacturing technology levels, aircraft skin parts were often manufactured in a large-margin and on-site assembly repair mode, resulting in a long aircraft manufacturing cycle. With the rapid development of aviation manufacturing technology, the gradual application of digital and pulsating assembly, and the shortening of the aircraft manufacturing cycle, the manufacturing requirements for aircraft skin parts are getting higher and higher. To further improve the assembly efficiency, the manufacturing method of aircraft skin parts is gradually changing towards precise machining and rapid positioning. Among them, the method of adding positioning holes to parts is the most common, which has the advantages of strong operability, small modification of existing tooling, convenience, reliability, and can greatly reduce the part positioning time during assembly.
[0003] When drilling the existing aircraft skin, for the drilling of the aircraft skin with a curved surface structure, most of them are completed manually. Workers need to drill and rivet in different directions. However, without support, the drilling operation will inevitably damage the aircraft skin.
