Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an aerospace product mounting technology, in particular to a hanging device suitable for a thin-walled shell. Background Art

[0002] In the aerospace field, a growing number of aerospace mounts are being used for aircraft. These products typically utilize standard lifting lugs, threaded and / or welded for lifting and transportation. However, standard lifting lugs are only suitable for aerospace mounts with thicker shells and sufficient material strength. In recent years, with the rapid development and widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), aircraft designs have gradually trended toward lightweight and miniaturization, requiring aerospace mounts to be smaller in weight and size. Consequently, the shells of these designed aerospace mounts are becoming thinner, with lightweight aluminum or non-metallic materials often used. These thin-walled shells offer a range of advantages, including light weight, material savings, and a compact structure, which are crucial for improving the overall performance of aerospace mounts.

[0003] However, when lifting and transporting thin-walled shells, due to their thin wall thickness and poor welding performance, standard lifting ears are used for hanging operations, which require connection to the lifting ears through threads and / or welding. If the thin-walled shells are not subjected to necessary and reliable tooling reinforcement, irreversible deformation will occur during the hanging process of the thin-walled shells, and even tearing will occur, leading to hanging accidents, making it difficult for standard lifting ears that rely on threads and / or welding connections to adapt to new requirements.

[0004] In order to avoid deformation and tearing of thin-walled shells during the hanging process, technical personnel in this field have been seeking effective hanging methods and devices for thin-walled shells, so as to meet the requirements of hanging and protecting finished products and ensure the safety of hanging thin-walled shells. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a hanging device suitable for thin-walled shells, which has a simple and compact structure, is easy to hang and transport, has stable operating performance, can avoid deformation and tearing of thin-walled shells, and ensure safe and reliable hanging of thin-walled shells.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the hanging device designed by the present invention is suitable for thin-walled shells, including a positioning pad, a lifting ear assembly, and several fixing screws. The special feature is that: the positioning pad is arranged on the inner side of the thin-walled shell, and it is connected to the thin-walled shell as a whole through fixing screws arranged along the circumferential direction; the lifting ear assembly is arranged on the outer side of the thin-walled shell, and it passes through the opening on the thin-walled shell and is detachably fixedly connected to the positioning pad.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting lug assembly consists of an upper lifting ring and a lower lifting shaft. The positioning plate has a centrally located lifting shaft mounting hole, into which the lower lifting shaft is inserted. The axis of the lower lifting shaft is provided with an internally threaded hole, which engages with a set nut threaded through the lifting shaft mounting hole, thereby removably locking the lifting lug assembly and the positioning plate together. The threaded engagement of the lower lifting shaft with the set nut provides a simple structure, compact connection, and convenient operation, ensuring stable and reliable hanging.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting plane is provided on the outer wall of the lower suspension shaft, and a positioning flat block is provided on the inner wall of the suspension shaft mounting hole. The limiting plane is embedded and matched with the positioning flat block, thereby limiting the rotation of the lower suspension shaft in the suspension shaft mounting hole and fixing the installation direction of the lifting ear assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, a tool slot is provided on the top of the locking nut, and a special tool can be inserted quickly and accurately through the tool slot, thereby conveniently fixing the locking nut and the lifting ear assembly by thread through the special tool.

[0010] As a preferred solution, the upper surface of the positioning pad is in a close fit with the inner side surface of the thin-walled shell. The close fit can increase the strength and rigidity of this part and ensure that the thin-walled shell does not deform or tear.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the positioning pad is an arc surface that fits tightly with the inner side surface of the thin-walled shell, so that the contact bearing surface between the positioning pad and the thin-walled shell of the mounted product can be effectively increased.

[0012] Furthermore, the arc angle of the upper surface of the arc surface of the positioning pad is By designing an appropriate arc range, the size of the positioning pad can be made more reasonable while ensuring the contact with the bearing surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of the fixing screws is 8 and they are evenly arranged around the positioning pad, so as to ensure that the thin-walled shell is subjected to balanced force and is stably and reliably connected to the positioning pad.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper lifting ring and the lower lifting shaft of the lifting lug assembly are an integrally formed structure, which can further simplify the structure of the lifting lug assembly and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0015] The advantages of the present invention are that the designed positioning pad is arranged on the inner side of the thin-walled shell and is connected to the thin-walled shell by fixing screws arranged along the circumference. It can effectively disperse the stress during the hanging process and prevent the thin-walled shell from being deformed or damaged during hanging. Furthermore, in order to solve the problem of stable working performance of the hanging device, the design of the hanging ear assembly is composed of an upper hanging ring and a lower hanging shaft. The axis of the lower hanging shaft is provided with an internal threaded hole. The internal threaded hole is matched with the thread of the fixing nut passing through the hanging shaft mounting hole, which not only ensures the axial fixation of the hanging ear assembly, but also removably locks the hanging ear assembly and the positioning pad together, effectively improving the strength of the overall structure of the hanging device. In addition, the present invention has a simple and reliable structure. The main mounting components are all designed with threaded connections, which effectively reduces the difficulty of assembly and maintenance time. At the same time, the upper surface of the positioning pad is preferably a circular arc surface that fits tightly with the inner side of the thin-walled shell, which can further ensure the stable operation of the hanging device.
