AI Technical Summary
When an aircraft's towed object approaches the fuselage, it vibrates and swings due to air turbulence, causing damage to the fuselage and fatigue of the mooring cables. Existing technologies cannot effectively solve the vibration problem caused by repeated towed object retrieval and release tasks at high altitudes.
It adopts a conical sheath and through-hole pipe structure. The conical sheath wraps the shape of the towed object and is connected to the aircraft through a connecting flange. The conical sheath uses its airflow shielding effect to limit the oscillation of the towed object. The conical sheath and through-hole pipe are made of aluminum alloy or Teflon material to ensure the stability and durability of the device.
It effectively prevents the towed object from vibrating and swinging when flying at high altitude, reduces the impact on the fuselage, and increases the service life of the mooring cable.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of aircraft structure design and relates to a device for preventing an object towed close to an aircraft from vibrating and oscillating. Background Art
[0002] Towed objects are connected to the aircraft via cables or flexible pipes. During flight, as the towed object approaches the aircraft's fuselage, air turbulence can cause a certain degree of oscillation and swing, potentially damaging the fuselage and placing significant fatigue loads on the mooring cables. To prevent the towed object from continuously oscillating and exceeding the fatigue load limit of the mooring cables, the towed object can be fully retracted into the aircraft cabin. However, this approach is only suitable for low-altitude flights and is not suitable for repeated high-altitude deployments. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for preventing a towed object from vibrating when the towed object is close to the aircraft. The utility model can prevent the towed object from vibrating when the towed object is close to the aircraft.
[0004] Technical Solution: A device for preventing an aircraft's towed object from vibrating and oscillating close to the aircraft, comprising a conical sheath, the small end of which is connected to a through-hole pipe, through which the towed object's cable passes in sequence; the conical sheath can encase the towed object's contours.
[0005] In the aforementioned device for preventing an aircraft from dragging an object in close proximity to the aircraft from oscillating and swinging, a connecting flange is provided at the end of the through-hole pipe.
[0006] In the aforementioned device for preventing an aircraft from dragging an object in close proximity from oscillating and swinging, a flange is provided at the large end of the conical sheath.
[0007] In the aforementioned device for preventing an aircraft from dragging an object in close proximity from oscillating and swinging, the through-hole pipe is made of aluminum alloy.
[0008] In the aforementioned device for preventing an aircraft's close-in dragged object from oscillating and swinging, the conical sheath is made of aluminum alloy and is integrally formed with the through-hole pipe.
[0009] In the aforementioned device for preventing an aircraft's close-in dragged object from oscillating and swinging, the conical sheath is made of Teflon.
[0010] Beneficial effects
[0011] The utility model provides a device for preventing a towed object from swinging and vibrating when the aircraft is in a state of repeatedly performing towed object retrieval and release tasks at high altitude, which can prevent the towed object from hitting and impacting the aircraft body and significantly improve the service life of the mooring cable.

[0015] The features and illustrative embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In the detailed description below, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention. The present invention is in no way limited to any specific arrangement set forth below, but rather covers any improvements, replacements, and modifications of structures and devices without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In the accompanying drawings and the following description, well-known structures and techniques are not shown to avoid unnecessary ambiguity in the present invention.
[0016] Example 1. A device for preventing an object being dragged by an aircraft from vibrating and oscillating, comprising: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a conical sheath 1, the small end of the conical sheath 1 is connected to the through-hole pipe 3, and the cable 5 of the towed object 4 passes through the conical sheath 1 and the through-hole pipe 3 in sequence; the outer contour of the towed object 4 can be wrapped by the conical sheath 1.
[0017] The end of the through-hole pipe 3 is provided with a connecting flange 2.
[0018] The large end of the aforementioned conical sheath 1 is provided with a flange 6 .

[0020] The aforementioned conical sheath 1 is made of aluminum alloy and is integrally formed with the through-hole pipe 3 .
[0021] Optionally, the aforementioned conical sheath 1 may also be made of Teflon.
[0022] The device is mounted on the tail of the aircraft via a connecting flange 2. A cable, connected through a through-hole conduit 3, connects one end to the towed object and the other end to the onboard retraction and deployment mechanism. The retraction and deployment mechanism inside the cabin retracts the towed object close to the aircraft's rear fuselage, maintaining a certain tension to hold it tightly against the conical sheath 1. The conical sheath's airflow shielding prevents the towed object from oscillating.
