[0035] Implementation Method 1

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 6This embodiment, as an optional embodiment of the present application, discloses a radar mounting frame with an adaptive function, including a frame body 1, wherein the frame body 1 includes a first main beam 101 and a second main beam 102, wherein the first main beam 101 and the second main beam 102 are in a long strip structure, and the first main beam 101 and the second main beam 102 are arranged in parallel, and a plurality of cross beams 103 are arranged in parallel between the first main beam 101 and the second main beam 102, wherein one end of each cross beam 103 is connected to the first main beam 101 by a connecting bolt or rivet 304, and the other end thereof is connected to the second main beam 102 by a connecting bolt or rivet 304;

An adjustment cavity 2 is provided on the side of the first main beam 101 and the second main beam 102 that is in contact with the aircraft surface. The adjustment cavity 2 is opened on one side facing the aircraft surface.

[0038] The first main beam 101 and the second main beam 102 are both provided with a flexible skin 3, and the flexible skin 3 includes a skeleton layer 301 and a rubber buffer layer 302, wherein the skeleton layer 301 is made of steel mesh, and the rubber buffer layer 302 is attached to the skeleton layer 301;

[0041] In the above structure, the skeleton layer 301 can effectively improve the structural strength of the flexible skin 3, while improving the adhesion of the rubber buffer layer 302, thereby extending the service life of the flexible skin 3; secondly, the skeleton layer 301 can effectively increase the deformation pressure of the flexible skin 3, which is beneficial to improving the tightness of the fit between the frame 1 and the aircraft.

[0042] Secondly, the provision of the rubber strips can maintain sufficient adjustment deformation on the first main beam 101 and the second main beam 102, thereby meeting the adjustment requirements;

After the inflation is completed, the high-pressure airbag 4 is tightly fitted to the flexible skin 3, thereby providing stable support for the flexible skin 3 through the high-pressure airbag 4. The high-pressure airbag 4 also has a certain elastic deformation ability, ensuring that the flexible skin 3 can be tightly fitted to the surface of the aircraft.

[0045] As another feasible embodiment, the adaptive support module includes a plurality of independent adjustment boxes 6, each of which has the same structure and is cylindrical. Along the axis direction of the adjustment box 6, one end is open and the other end is provided with a telescopic hole 9. It should be noted that the inner diameter of the telescopic hole 9 is smaller than the inner diameter of the adjustment box 6.

[0046] A support rod 7 is slidably provided in the regulating box 6. The support rod 7 is in a T-shaped structure as a whole, and a step surface 11 is provided in the middle thereof. The small end of the support rod 7 extends through the telescopic hole 9, and the large end thereof is located in the regulating box 6. The step surface 11 abuts against the end surface of the telescopic hole 9.

[0047] At the same time, a reset assembly is also provided in the regulating box 6, and the reset assembly includes a reset spring 8, one end of the reset spring 8 and the end surface of the large end of the support rod 7 abut against each other; the open end of the regulating box 6 is also threadedly connected to a sealing plate 10, and the sealing plate 10 abuts against the reset spring 8; at the same time, the sealing plate 10 is also provided with an inner six holes, through which the sealing plate 10 can be easily disassembled and assembled;

At the same time, the support rod 7 is also provided with a limit cover 16; the limit cover 16 is also provided with a limit spherical surface, and the limit spherical surface cooperates with the rotation cavity 15 to fix the adjustment ball 14;

[0050] The above structure can give the support sheet 12 a certain rotation margin, thereby adjusting the posture of the support sheet 12 so that it can better fit with the flexible skin 3;

[0051] At the same time, the above structure is combined with the telescopic movement of the support rod 7, so that the support piece 12 has telescopic freedom and rotational freedom, which can better adapt to the curved surface structure of the aircraft and improve the adaptability of the equipment to complex curved surfaces;

[0052] Furthermore, a holder 17 is provided in the adjustment cavity 2, and a plurality of insertion slots 18 are provided on the holder 17, and each of the adjustment boxes 6 is inserted into each of the insertion slots 18;

At the same time, the adaptive support module located in the adjustment cavity 2 elastically yields when the flexible skin 3 is pushed down. The adaptive support module will provide stable support for the flexible skin 3, ensuring that it can fit tightly with the surface of the aircraft.

[0056] Compared with the existing technology, the present application can deform according to the shape of the outer surface of the aircraft, thereby closely fitting with the aircraft surface, improving the stability and reliability of the frame installation;

[0057] Secondly, the present application can adapt to the installation requirements of various installation points, eliminating the need to design the frame separately according to the curved surface shape of different points on the aircraft, which is conducive to improving the installation efficiency of the equipment and simplifying the design process of the frame;
