[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model for which protection is sought, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically specified.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides an auxiliary tool for aircraft nose wheel turning tests. The auxiliary tool includes a first base 1, a second base 2, a locking mechanism 3, an anti-slip strip 4, and a rotating member 5. The first base 1 and the second base 2 are connected by a rotating member 5, which can be a rotating shaft or a hinge, so that the auxiliary tool has a foldable function. The first base 1 is composed of a first base 11, a guard plate 12, and a turntable 13. The first base 11 is provided with a guard plate space for placing the guard plate 12. A fixing plate 112 and a locking mechanism 3 are respectively provided on the two side walls of the first base 11. The fixing plate 112 fixes the guard plate 12 to the first base 11 by bolt connection. The locking mechanism 3 is used to lock the first base 1 and the second base 2 when the auxiliary tool is folded, ensuring that the auxiliary tool remains stable during transportation. For easy carrying, the first base 11 is provided with a handle 111 on the side away from the second base 2. The handle 111 helps to improve the portability of the auxiliary tool.

[0021] Furthermore, a turntable space for placing a turntable 13 is provided on the guard plate 12. The turntable 13 is rotatably arranged in the turntable space. A pair of wheel grooves 132 are provided on the turntable 13, and the wheel grooves 132 are used to clamp the front wheels of the aircraft. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the front wheels of the aircraft, an inwardly inclined slope is provided on the inner wall of the wheel groove 132. The inclination angle of the slope is between 50° and 70°. In this embodiment, the inclination angle is preferably set to 60°. A rotating shaft 131 is provided on the side of the turntable 13 away from the wheel groove 132. A connecting hole compatible with the rotating shaft 131 is provided in the turntable space. The turntable 13 is rotated in the guard plate 12 and detachably connected to the guard plate 12 through the rotating shaft 131. When using the turntable 13, lubricant needs to be applied at the connection with the guard plate 12. The turntable space of the guard plate 12 can effectively prevent the lubricant from overflowing the auxiliary tools, thereby avoiding the ground pollution caused by the lubricant overflow.

[0022] Furthermore, the second base 2 includes a second bottom plate 21 and an inclined plate 22. The second bottom plate 21 is provided with a finger groove for placing fingers on the side away from the first base 1, so that the second base 2 can be manually lifted and folded and placed on the first base 1 after the test. The inclined plate 22 is fixedly set on the second bottom plate 21. The inclination angle of the inclined plate 22 is between 2° and 4°. In this embodiment, the inclination angle is preferably set to 3°. This angle makes it easy to manually tow the front wheel of the aircraft into the auxiliary tool. At the same time, the length of the inclined plate 22 will not be too long, resulting in the auxiliary tool being too large and not conducive to manual carrying. The inclined plate 22 is provided with grooves on both side walls near one end of the finger groove. The groove can be used to place breeding blocks or stick tape to prevent the inclined plate 22 from tilting during use.

[0023] Furthermore, to ensure sufficient friction between the auxiliary tool and the ground during use and prevent the auxiliary tool from being displaced when the aircraft's front wheel enters the auxiliary tool, a plurality of anti-slip strips 4 are provided on the side closest to the ground on both the first base 1 and the second base 2. The anti-slip strips 4 effectively increase the friction between the auxiliary tool and the ground, preventing the auxiliary tool from being displaced when the aircraft's front wheel enters the auxiliary tool, which could result in the auxiliary tool being unable to accurately enter the wheel groove and being crushed by the aircraft's front wheel.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
