Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of anti-deicing assembly and relates to an inward-recessed curved surface clamping tool. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft engine inlet lip anti-icing requirements necessitate bonding an electric heater to the lip. This requires ensuring a secure, reliable, bubble-free, and deformation-free bond to the inward curved surface of the lip, and precise bonding. Meeting these requirements directly determines the lip's ability to prevent ice and ensure flight safety. The narrow inward curved surface of the lip, and the presence of the engine inlet connecting structure at its upper end, makes conventional bonding fixtures difficult to use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a mounting fixture for effectively bonding an electric heating device and an engine air intake duct lip.

The first curved clamping plate 9, the second curved clamping plate 10, the first strip clamping plate 11, and the second strip clamping plate 12 can be connected end to end to form a ring. The clamping plate can evenly transmit the clamping force of the F-shaped clamp 1 to the sandbag 3, so that the sandbag 3 is evenly and tightly pressed against the engine intake lip 4.

[0008] The sandbags 3 include a first curved sandbag 13, a second curved sandbag 14, a first strip sandbag 16, and a second strip sandbag 15. The first curved sandbag 13, the second curved sandbag 14, the first strip sandbag 16, and the second strip sandbag 15 can be connected end to end to form a ring. The amount of sand in the sandbags is adapted to the size of the engine intake lip 4, and the sandbags can fill the entire inward curved surface of the engine intake lip 4.

[0009] There are multiple clips 1, and the multiple clips can provide a clamping force between the engine air intake lip 4 and the clamping plate.

[0010] Preferably, the clip 1 is an F-type clip or a G-type clip.

[0011] Preferably, the clamp includes a semi-enclosed support seat 5, a threaded rod 6, an upper clamping block 7 and a lower clamping block 8; the upper clamping block 7 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod, the semi-enclosed support seat 5 is provided with a threaded hole, the threaded rod 6 is rotatably fitted in the threaded hole, the upper clamping block corresponds to the clamping flat plate 2, and the lower clamping block corresponds to the engine air intake lip 4.

[0012] Preferably, the contact surfaces of the upper clamping block and the lower clamping block are provided with a flexible material layer to avoid damaging the surface of the air inlet.

[0013] After the electric heater is bonded to the engine intake lip, it is tightly pressed against the inward curved surface of the engine intake lip using sandbags 3. The sand is shaken to ensure even distribution and a flush surface, minimizing gaps between the sand and ensuring uniform force transmission. The clamping plate 3 is installed perpendicular to the normal direction of the engine intake lip and ultimately presses against the sandbags. The F-type clamp 1 transmits force to the clamping plate and the engine intake lip by tightening the bolts.

[0014] The function of the sandbag 3 is to press the electric heating device tightly onto the sunken surface of the engine intake lip, and to ensure that the sand is evenly distributed and the surface is flush by shaking, thereby reducing the gaps between the sand and ensuring uniform force transmission.
