Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aerospace manufacturing, in particular to a device for assisting the assembly of aircraft landing gear. Background Art
[0002] Aircraft landing gear is a relatively complex component in the assembly process. Its structure resembles a T-shape, being top-heavy, with a low joint location, an upper center of gravity, and a low clamping position. Landing gear installation typically exhibits the following characteristics: 1. The installation position is high; 2. The installation location is relatively narrow, requiring tilting to access the installation position; 3. The landing gear must be installed upward from the belly of the aircraft, resulting in low ground clearance. The high installation position requires auxiliary installation equipment with a low minimum height and a long lifting stroke; 4. The landing gear typically has a large cylindrical shaft, making it difficult to clamp; 5. The landing gear typically weighs over 150 kg, making manual lifting difficult in confined spaces. 6. The low joint location and high center of gravity make it prone to tipping. Due to these characteristics, the installation of aircraft landing gear has traditionally relied on manual lifting and support, requiring five people to simultaneously perform the assembly. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with the risk of damage to the product, and it also lacks stability. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] The utility model provides a bent handle pin, which is clamped in the inside of the support arm and the positioning shaft, so as to fix the position of the support arm.

In addition, its design facilitates the operator to quickly install and disassemble, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0014] This utility model incorporates a counterweight. The counterweight, mounted on top of the mounting frame, effectively balances the center of gravity of the entire assembly during operation. Because aircraft landing gear components are typically heavy, the center of gravity may shift during assembly due to component movement or adjustments to the assembly itself. The presence of the counterweight prevents the assembly from tipping over due to an unstable center of gravity, ensuring safe and stable assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
