Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of fuel tank processing equipment, and in particular to a support base for processing aircraft propulsion fuel tanks. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft propulsion systems utilize a combination of fuel and oxidizer to release enormous amounts of energy, propelling the aircraft at high speeds. Fuel tanks, a crucial component of aircraft propulsion systems, store these fuels. During this energy release, the fuel tanks must withstand high temperatures. To ensure the safety of the fuel tanks and the fuel stored within, their exteriors must be insulated.
[0003] When the fuel tank is insulated, an insulation layer needs to be applied to the outside of the fuel tank. In order to improve the uniformity of the insulation layer on the outside of the fuel tank, the insulation layer needs to be further processed and trimmed. The fuel tank needs to be stably clamped, positioned and supported to facilitate the processing of the fuel tank.
[0004] In order to adapt to fuel tanks of different lengths, it is usually necessary to adjust the position of the support base. Chinese patent application No. 202222464253.7 discloses a tooling fixture for processing aircraft propulsion fuel tanks, which adopts a screw-driven base method. In order to ensure the driving effect when the drive device is driven, the screw usually needs to be lubricated. However, since the waste chips during processing will fall onto the support base and mix with the lubricating oil used to lubricate the screw mechanism to form sludge, it increases the difficulty of cleaning the device. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present application provides a support base for machining an aircraft propulsion fuel tank, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A support base for processing aircraft propulsion fuel tanks includes at least two bases, which are respectively installed at both ends of a cylindrical segment product. A driving mechanism is provided on the base, and a support base is provided on a workbench. The driving mechanism includes a driving motor and a driving roller. The driving motor is installed on the base, and the driving roller is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor. The support base is installed on the workbench, and a hard rail is installed on the support base. The driving roller is rollingly connected to the hard rail.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical limit block is connected to the base by bolts. When the base is moved to the appropriate position, the vertical limit block is pressed against the support seat by tightening the bolts. The friction between the vertical limit block and the support seat improves the stability of the base, and at the same time can prevent the base from moving again after it is moved into place.

The two driving rollers 33 are respectively installed at both ends of the worm gear, so that the two driving rollers 33 are installed on both sides of the sliding seat. The support seat 4 is provided with two driving rollers 33 corresponding to the two sides. The support seat 4 is provided with a hard rail 5. The driving roller 33 is provided with a limiting groove 331. The hard rail 5 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 331, and the driving roller 33 can roll and move relative to the hard rail 5, so that the self-locking characteristics of the worm gear can be utilized to prevent the base 1 from moving reversely after being adjusted into place, thereby ensuring the stability of the driving roller 33.

There are two auxiliary wheels 7, and the two auxiliary wheels 7 are respectively installed at the positions adjacent to the rollers on both sides of the base 1. The auxiliary wheels 7 are arranged on the same horizontal line as the rollers. The auxiliary wheels 7 rotate It is connected to the base 1, and the auxiliary wheel 7 is rollingly connected to the hard rail 5, so that it can play an auxiliary supporting role in the movement of the base 1.

Four support rods 9 are provided at the bottom of both sides of the base 1. The four support rods 9 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the hard rail 5. The support rods 9 are threadedly connected to the base 1. When the base 1 moves to the predetermined position, the support rods 9 are rotated and supported on the support seat 4, thereby sharing the force exerted on the base 1 by the fuel tank, further improving safety and stability.

The vertical limit block 81, the horizontal limit block 82 and the limit screw 83 are each provided with two, and the two vertical limit blocks 81 are respectively installed on the side walls of the base 1 on both sides. The vertical limit block 81 is connected to the base 1 by bolts, and a clamping block 811 is provided on the vertical limit block 81, and the support seat 4 can be clamped on the clamping block 811. When the base 1 moves, the bolts are loosened, so that the vertical limit block 81 moves downward relative to the base 1 and the abutment relationship between the side wall of the clamping block 811 and the support seat 4 is released. When the base 1 moves to a suitable position, the vertical limit block 81 is pressed against the support seat 4 by tightening the bolts, so that the support seat 4 abuts against the side wall of the clamping block 811. The friction between the vertical limit block 81 and the support seat 4 improves the stability of the base 1.
[0040] The vertical limit block 81 is provided with a sliding groove 812 in the length direction of the vertical support seat 4, the horizontal limit block 82 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 812, and can pass through the sliding groove 812 to abut against the side wall of the support seat 4, the horizontal limit screw 83 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the sliding seat, and the horizontal limit screw 83 is installed with a first extrusion block 831 at one end away from the sliding seat. The first extrusion block 831 is used to extrude the limit block against the side wall of the support seat 4, and a second extrusion block 832 is installed on the rod part of the limit screw 83. An extrusion groove 813 is provided on the horizontal limit block 82 corresponding to the second extrusion block 832, and part of the structure of the second extrusion block 832 extends into the extrusion groove 813.
