DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] 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 only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-4The illustrated embodiment of a tiltrotor aircraft elastic bearing fixing cone sleeve installation mechanism comprises six parts, namely, a pressure plate 100 , a top plate 200 , a support column 300 , a base 400 , a pin 500 and a jack 600 .

[0021] There are four pressing plate 100 mounting holes at the four corners of the pressing plate 100 for connecting the pressing plate 100 and the pillar 300. There is a centrifugal elastic bearing positioning groove 202 on the lower middle side of the pressing plate 100 for positioning the centrifugal elastic bearing 703, and two connecting holes 203 are used to connect and fix the centrifugal elastic bearing 703; there is a tapered sleeve guide groove 201 on the upper middle side of the pressing plate 100, which is used for positioning and guiding the automatic installation of the tapered sleeve 704 when the tapered sleeve 704 is installed.

[0022] There is a boss structure on the upper part of the top plate 200 for positioning and fixing the top plate 200 and the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701, preventing the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 and the top plate 200 from relative movement during the force application process; a positioning pin hole is provided in the middle of the top plate 200 for inserting the pin shaft 500 to position and fix the elastic bearing; the top plate 200 and the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 adopt a clearance fit in the thickness direction to ensure smooth docking of the two parts; a circular groove is provided at the bottom of the top plate 200 for fixing the top rod of the jack 600, preventing the jack 600 and the top rod from relative sliding during the force application process.

[0023] The four pillars 300 are of equal length, and threaded holes are provided at both ends of the pillars 300 for connecting the pillars 300 with the top plate 200 and the base 400, so as to provide sufficient tension to fix the pressure plate 100 during the force application process.

[0024] There are four bottom plate mounting holes at the four corners of the base 400 for connecting the bottom plate to the bottom surface, and four countersunk holes at the middle corresponding to the pressure plate 100 for connecting the bottom plate to the support 300.

[0025] The pin 500 is a cylindrical stepped pin, which is mainly used to assist in positioning and fixing the top plate 200 and the outer variable-pitch elastic bearing 701 to prevent the parts from bending under force during the force application process and causing relative movement.

[0026] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0027] During the installation process of the rotorcraft elastic bearing cone sleeve 704, the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 and the centrifugal elastic bearing 703 can be subjected to force to produce elastic deformation along the axial direction. When the deformation is large enough, the cone sleeve 704 can be installed into the cavity of the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 and the centrifugal elastic bearing 703 to fix the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 and the centrifugal elastic bearing 703.

[0028] This method uses an installation mechanism to fix the outer variable pitch elastic bearing assembly 700, and places the tapered sleeve 704 in the tapered sleeve guide groove 201 of the pressure plate 100, and uses a force-applying tool such as a jack 600 to apply pressure to the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 and the centrifugal force elastic bearing 703, so that they are elastically deformed under the force, and the metal rod part of the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 moves upward while the centrifugal force elastic bearing 703 remains stationary. The cavities of the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 and the centrifugal force elastic bearing 703 increase with the increase in deformation. When the cavity is large enough, the tapered sleeve 704 slides downward along the inclined surface of the tapered sleeve guide groove 201 on the pressure plate 100 under the influence of gravity to the cavities of the outer variable pitch elastic bearing 701 and the centrifugal force elastic bearing 703, and then the pressure is released to complete the installation of the tapered sleeve 704.

[0029] During this installation process, the operator does not need to perform any operation on the cone sleeve 704 during the entire boosting process. The entire boosting installation process is continuous and stable, which greatly improves the safety and installation quality of the tiltrotor aircraft elastic bearing cone sleeve 704 installation process.

[0030] The above embodiments are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
