[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a traction rod hanging ladder for skill training, including a bracket 1, a traction installation joint, a connector 3, a step ladder 4 and wheels 5.
[0032] The bracket 1 includes a support base 11 and support side frames 12 connected to both sides of the support base 11. The support base 11 is a rectangle formed by four base frame struts connected end to end. The support side frames 12 include two first side frame struts 121 and two second side frame struts 122. The two first side frame struts 121 are perpendicular to the support base 11 and are installed on both sides of the support base 11. A traction mounting joint is installed near one end of the support base 11. The two second side frame struts form an acute angle with the support base 11 and are installed on both sides of the support base 11. The step ladder 4 is installed on the second side frame struts. Auxiliary support rods are also installed between the second side frame struts and the support base 11. The auxiliary support rods are perpendicular to the support base 11 and serve as auxiliary support. The step ladder handrail 6 is installed on the second side frame strut, and its length takes into account the push-pull operation of the counterweight and the traction rod hanging ladder. The push-pull handrail 7 is installed on the first side frame strut, which is mainly used for pushing and pulling, so as to adjust the position of the traction rod joint and facilitate the installation of the traction rod. The bracket 1 can be made of steel, and the length and angle of the support rod need to be adjusted according to the balance of the counterweight.
[0033] The height of the towing mounting joint is consistent with that of a common aircraft tractor. It includes at least two towing mounting tabs 21, three as shown in the figure, forming two towing rod mounting positions. The towing mounting tabs 21 are provided with mounting holes 211, and all towing mounting tabs 21 are parallel to each other. One end of the towing rod is installed between the towing rod mounting positions formed between the two towing mounting tabs 21, and the other end is connected to the aircraft. The towing rod can be horizontally adjusted by adjusting its mounting position on the towing mounting joint, so that the towing rod is not subjected to a pulling force perpendicular to the towing rod during towing, and is suitable for towing rods of different models. The towing mounting tabs 21 are provided with mounting holes 211, and the connector 3 passes through the mounting holes 211 to connect the towing mounting joint and the towing rod. The connector 3 can optionally be installed with a locking pin. The locking pin should be easy to remove and prevent, and ensure it is firmly installed after placement. The locking pin can be made of steel.
[0034] The step ladder 4 includes multiple treads 41 mounted between the two second lateral struts. The top tread 41 is provided with a tread reinforcement structure 42. Treads 41 can be hollow or have anti-slip textures. The step ladder 4 can be made of stainless steel. Considering the frequent contact with corrosive fluids in the maintenance environment, non-corrosion-resistant materials are not used.
[0035] Wheels 5 are mounted below the support frame 11 and include universal wheels 51 and fixed wheels 52. Universal wheels 51 are mounted near the step ladder 4, while fixed wheels 52 are mounted near the traction mounting joint. Universal wheels 51 have a locking function, allowing for quick adjustment of the traction bar ladder's direction and, once positioned, can be locked to prevent movement.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] The present invention combines a work ladder and a tow bar installation connector for aircraft maintenance personnel training into one device. When civil aviation maintenance training institutions teach according to the "Civil Aircraft Maintenance Basics Series Textbook" (Volume 8) - Aircraft Maintenance Practice, the present invention can replace the aircraft tow vehicle. After connecting the tow bar to the front landing gear of the aircraft, the trainees can install the other end of the tow bar to the corresponding tow bar installation position of the tow bar hanging ladder according to the tow bar height (depending on the tow bar model). Afterwards, the aircraft maintenance personnel can use the tow bar rocker arm to retract the tow bar moving wheel according to the tow bar connector installation diagram, thereby becoming familiar with and mastering the entire process of aircraft tow bar installation. At the same time, the utility model can also be used similar to a work ladder to access relevant areas of the aircraft. After locking the universal wheel 51, the present utility model is a fixed work ladder. After unlocking the universal wheel 51, the present utility model can be moved as needed.
[0038] The utility model has the following advantages:
[0039] 1. Fills a training equipment gap: Currently, there are no similar products in civil aviation maintenance training institutions. Most maintenance institutions can only complete training and instruction on the connection end of the towbar to the aircraft. Due to the lack of equipment that can simulate the aircraft and tractor, the other end of the towbar is usually not installed, making it impossible to fully train the entire process of installing the towbar to the aircraft and tractor. This utility model fills this training equipment gap, allowing training institutions to fully implement training and instruction based on the "Civil Aircraft Maintenance Basics Series Textbook" (Volume 8) - Aircraft Maintenance Practice, recommended by the China Civil Aviation Maintenance Association.
[0040] 2. Wide Range of Applications: This utility model can be used as the connection end of a simulator tractor, and is therefore primarily used on aprons, in hangars with ample space, or in training facilities. Therefore, the step ladder 4 inherent in this utility model is highly practical. The top working surface height of this utility model can be set to 1.2 meters, and the top step 41 is widened to 51 cm, making it usable as a maintenance platform. It can replace a single mobile ladder frame for various aircraft models, achieving multiple uses.
[0041] 3. Safety and reliability: Taking into account the possibility that trainees may make an error in selecting the installation height of the towbar joint when installing the aircraft towbar in the early stages of training. This error may cause the two installation points of the towbar to be not in the same plane after the moving wheels are retracted, resulting in vertical force at the connection point of this product. Therefore, the support side frame 12, the step ladder handrail 6 and the push-pull handrail 7 are used for counterweight to ensure the structural reliability of this product.
[0042] 4. Easy to move and fix: The bottom of the utility model uses two universal wheels 51 with locking function and two fixed wheels 52 to ensure small resistance during movement, easy movement, and stable after fixation.
[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
