Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent relates to the technical field of aircraft assembly and molding, and specifically, to an aircraft flap assembly mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft assembly is a crucial step in aircraft manufacturing. A key characteristic of aircraft manufacturing is the coordinated approach to ensuring coordination between parts, parts and tooling, and tooling, thereby guaranteeing assembly accuracy. Through a series of specialized process equipment, the shapes and dimensions required for coordination are simulated and then gradually transferred to parts and components. Aircraft structures differ from general mechanical products. During assembly, qualified components cannot be guaranteed solely by the machining accuracy of the parts' shapes and dimensions. Therefore, specialized assembly process equipment is developed for components and parts of different aircraft models.
[0003] The Chinese patent with publication number CN116494170A discloses a positioning and clamping device for assembling the front flap of an aircraft, which relates to the technical field of the equipment manufacturing industry. The positioning and clamping device for assembling the front flap of an aircraft comprises an aircraft flap, a positioning frame and a clamping mechanism. The positioning frame is located below the aircraft flap, and the positioning frame comprises a fixed cylinder, a movable sleeve, a screw, a knob block and a positioning rod. The positioning and clamping device for assembling the front flap of an aircraft can position the aircraft flap, drive the movable sleeve to move on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder, and change the distance between the two groups of positioning rods at the top of the two groups of movable sleeves, so that the positioning rods and the positioning rods can position aircraft flaps of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the device. Due to the first rotating wheel, the second rotating wheel and the third rotating wheel, the aircraft flap is pushed and placed on the positioning frame, which can avoid sliding friction between the positioning frame and the aircraft flap, thereby reducing friction and damage to the aircraft flap.
[0004] The assembly mechanism provided by the utility model can be applied to aircraft assembly, specifically to an aircraft flap assembly production line. The assembly mechanism is made of metal material with high strength and long service life. It can effectively solve the problem of aircraft flap assembly, improve the assembly accuracy of aircraft flaps, further reduce the production cycle and manufacturing cost, and realize rapid assembly.
