[0002] The aircraft midsection strength loading test fixture is a device specifically designed for testing the structural strength of an aircraft midsection. It is primarily used to verify the structural strength of the fuselage, determine the load-bearing capacity of the structure, and verify the manufacturing process. The aircraft midsection strength loading test fixture, also known as a strength test device or test fixture, is a specialized set of equipment designed for the aircraft midsection structure. The fixture typically consists of a loading frame, a force application device, and a measurement and control system. It is capable of simulating and applying various forces experienced by the fuselage during actual flight, such as bending, torsion, compression, and tension.
[0003] In existing technology, most aircraft mid-section strength loading test fixtures use clamps or straps for fixation. Due to their lack of adaptability, clamps are difficult to tightly fit the unique shapes of different aircraft fuselages. Furthermore, the clamping force is easily reduced by loose bolts or spring inelasticity. Furthermore, the limited contact area can easily lead to localized stress concentration, resulting in instability. Therefore, a mid-section aircraft fuselage strength loading test fixture was proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a test fixture for the strength loading of the middle section of an aircraft fuselage, comprising a fixture base 1, support legs 8 and a fuselage shell 14. The fixture base 1 plays a fundamental role in the entire test fixture. The fixture base 1 is fixed to the ground by expansion screws. The left end of the top side of the fixture base 1 is fixedly connected to a fuselage tail support frame 2. This fuselage tail support frame 2 can perfectly fit the tail of the aircraft fuselage, providing important support for the tail of the aircraft fuselage. At the same time, vertical poles 3 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the fixture base 1. These vertical poles 3 provide a stable installation position for the subsequent pressure sensor 4 and threaded jack 5. The concave surface of the fuselage tail support frame 2 fits the curved surface of the bottom of the fuselage, which can better adapt to the shape of the fuselage and provide stable support for the tail of the fuselage. The top side of the vertical pole 3 is fixedly connected to a pressure sensor 4. The pressure sensor 4 can accurately measure the magnitude and change of the force applied to the aircraft fuselage during the test. Threaded jacks 5 are fixedly attached to the top of pressure sensor 4. These two jacks 5 have a strong load-bearing capacity. An I-beam 6 is fixedly attached to the top of these two jacks. This sturdy structure evenly transmits the force generated by the jacks 5 to the midsection of the aircraft fuselage, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 , the right end of the top side of the tooling base 1 is fixedly connected to the front end fuselage fixing frame 7, and this front end fuselage fixing frame 7 is fixed to the front end rib of the aircraft fuselage by strong bolts, providing stable support for the front end of the aircraft fuselage. The design of the front end fuselage fixing frame 7 fully takes into account the structural characteristics of the aircraft fuselage, and can effectively disperse the force to ensure that the aircraft fuselage remains stable during the test. The support leg 8 plays an auxiliary support role in the tooling. The front and rear sides of the support leg 8 are threadedly connected to a lifting assembly for fixing. The lifting assembly includes a threaded rod 9, and the outer parts of the two threaded rods 9 are respectively threadedly connected to the front and rear ends of the top of the support leg 8. A handle 10 is fixedly connected to the top side of the threaded rod 9. The design of the handle 10 conforms to the principles of ergonomics. The operator can easily adjust the height of the threaded rod 9 by turning the handle 10;
[0036] The bottom of the lifting assembly is rotatably connected to a limiting sleeve 11, which can effectively limit the range of motion of the threaded rod 9, ensuring that the threaded rod 9 will not deviate during the adjustment process. The outer portion of the circular plate 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 11. The bottom end of the threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting sleeve 11, ensuring that the threaded rod 9 will not separate from the limiting sleeve 11 during the movement. The bottom side of the limiting sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped plate 12, which has good rigidity and stability. The two U-shaped plates 12 are internally movably connected to a pressure tube 13, which can fit tightly to the tail of the aircraft fuselage. By adjusting the height of the threaded rod 9, the pressure tube 13 can be pressed against the tail of the fuselage, further enhancing the fixing effect on the fuselage. The bottom side of the fuselage shell 14 is in contact with the top side of the tooling base 1. During the test, the fuselage shell 14 is subjected to forces from all directions. A weight block 15 is slidably connected to the right end of the fuselage shell 14. The weight block 15 can be adjusted according to test requirements to simulate the load conditions of the aircraft during actual flight. A circular plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the threaded rod 9 to strengthen the connection.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , refer to Figures 1 to 3, the support leg 8 and the front side of one of the uprights 3 are fixedly connected with a storage box 17, and the storage box 17 can protect the tools and parts stored inside. The inner wall of the storage box 17 is slidably connected with a plurality of sliding plates 18, and the sliding plates 18 can be adjusted in position as needed to facilitate the storage and retrieval of tools and parts. The front and rear ends of the sliding plate 18 are fixedly connected with a limit block 19, and the limit block 19 can effectively limit the range of motion of the sliding plate 18, ensuring that the sliding plate 18 will not deviate during use. The inner wall of the limit block 19 is slidably connected with a pressing component for pressing subsequent components. The pressing component includes a sliding rod 20, and the outer portion of the sliding rod 20 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding plate 18, and the sliding rod 20 can slide smoothly inside the sliding plate 18. The top side of the sliding rod 20 is fixedly connected with a handle, and the design of the handle is convenient for the operator to operate;
[0038] The bottom side of the sliding rod 20 is fixedly connected to a strip plate 21, which can transmit the movement of the sliding rod 20 to other components. The outer side of the strip plate 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate 18 to ensure that the strip plate 21 does not deviate during movement. The bottom side of the pressing assembly is fixedly connected to a fixed rod 22, which can withstand greater pressure. The bottom side of the strip plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top side of the fixed rod 22 to ensure that the connection between the strip plate 21 and the fixed rod 22 is firm and reliable. The bottom side of the fixed rod 22 is fixedly connected to a disc 23, which can evenly transmit pressure to the spring 24. The bottom side of the disc 23 is fixedly connected to a spring 24, which has good elasticity and can act as a buffer when the pressing assembly is working;
[0039] The bottom and front ends of the pressing assembly are fixedly connected to an opening plate 25. The design of the opening plate 25 makes the pressing assembly structure more stable. The opening plate 25 is internally connected to a rotating plate 26, which can flexibly rotate within the opening plate 25. The opposite end of each rotating plate 26 is rotatably connected to a concave plate 27, which is designed to better cooperate with a stop rod 28. The bottom side of the concave plate 27 is fixedly connected to a stop rod 28, which effectively limits the movement of subsequent components. The top side of each opening plate 25 is fixedly connected to the front and back ends of the bottom side of one of the strip plates 21, respectively, to ensure a secure and reliable connection between the opening plate 25 and the strip plate 21. The outer portion of the stop rod 28 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stop block 19, allowing the stop rod 28 to slide smoothly within the stop block 19. The outer portion of the stop rod 28 is also slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 17, ensuring that the stop rod 28 does not deviate during use. The pressing assembly can fix the components in the storage box 17 to prevent shaking during the test, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the test.
[0040] Working Principle: First, the tooling base 1 is securely fixed to the ground with expansion screws to ensure the stability of the entire tooling during testing. The fuselage shell 14 is placed on the tooling base 1 so that its bottom side contacts the top side of the tooling base 1. The front end of the fuselage is bolted to the front end fixing bracket 7, providing a stable support point for the front end of the fuselage. The concave surface of the fuselage tail support bracket 2 conforms to the curved surface of the fuselage bottom, providing support for the tail of the fuselage and effectively distributing the weight and loading force of the fuselage. The vertical pole 3 is fixed to the ground with expansion screws, providing stable support for the pressure sensor 4 and threaded jack 5. When the mid-section of the fuselage needs to be loaded, the threaded jack 5 is operated to rise, and the generated force is transmitted to the mid-section of the fuselage through the I-beam 6. The pressure sensor 4 can monitor the magnitude and changes of the force during the loading process in real time, so as to accurately control the magnitude and direction of the loading force to meet different testing requirements. The lifting assembly on the support leg 8 can adjust the height of the threaded rod 9 by turning the handle 10. Threaded rod 9 drives the retaining sleeve 11, U-shaped plate 12, and pressure tube 13 to move up and down, pressing the pressure tube 13 against the tail of the fuselage, further strengthening the fuselage's fixation. The weight 15 inside the right end of the fuselage shell 14 can be slid and adjusted as needed to simulate the load conditions of the aircraft during actual flight, making the test more similar to actual operating conditions.
[0041] During the test process, if tools and parts are needed, they can be taken from the storage box 17 on the front side of the support leg 8 and the upright 3. The sliding plate 18 in the storage box 17 can be slid to adjust the position as needed. When it is necessary to fix the parts in the storage box 17, the sliding rod 20 is operated by the handle to slide up and down. The sliding rod 20 drives the strip plate 21 to slide on the inner wall of the sliding plate 18, and the strip plate 21 transmits the force to the disc 23 and the spring 24 through the fixing rod 22. The spring 24 is compressed by the force, and through the rotating connection structure of the opening plate 25, the rotating plate 26 and the concave plate 27, the limiting rod 28 at the bottom of the concave plate 27 slides on the limiting block 19 and the inner wall of the storage box 17, thereby fixing and sorting the parts in the storage box 17, so that the required tools can be quickly obtained, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
