A sealing cloth is installed between the aileron sealing plate and the aileron leading edge skin, and the aileron sealing plate is designed as a right-angle C-shaped surface. Combined with Z-profiles and pressure strips, a sealing cloth fixing structure is formed to prevent airflow from flowing.
By blocking the gap between the aileron compartment and the aileron, the efficiency of the aileron control mechanism is improved and the adverse effect of aerodynamic efficiency is reduced.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft structural design technology, and relates to a wing slot improvement device for aircraft wings, specifically a wing slot flow obstruction device. Background Technology
[0002] An aileron is a small movable surface mounted on the outer trailing edge of the outer wing. It serves as the aircraft's primary control surface; the differential deflection of the left and right ailerons generates a rolling moment that allows the aircraft to perform roll maneuvers. Because the aileron is a movable end face, a certain clearance is unavoidable in the design of the aileron nacelle. This clearance creates a gap between the aileron nacelle and the aileron itself, which can lead to severe flow-induced vibrations within the nacelle structure.
[0003] In domestic aileron nacelle designs, a gap is typically left between the aileron sealing plate and the aileron leading-edge skin in the fuselage structure. Since both the aileron sealing plate and the leading-edge skin are thin-walled structures, this thin-walled cavity structure is greatly affected by airflow. Usually, the aileron sealing plate needs to be designed as a curved thin-walled structure that matches the aileron leading-edge skin. This structural design has a certain impact on the airfoil in order to provide sufficient movement space for the aileron. Even if the theoretical minimum gap is designed, there is still a gap. During flight training, airflow generated by the gap will occur in the aileron nacelle. This high-speed airflow will affect the efficiency of the aileron control mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a wing slot flow obstruction device that can impede airflow, thereby improving the efficiency of the aileron servo.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A wing slot flow control device includes an aileron sealing plate, a sealing cloth, and an aileron leading edge skin. The aileron sealing plate is located at the rear of the wing, directly opposite the aileron. The aileron leading edge skin is the skin at the leading edge of the aileron. The sealing cloth is connected between the aileron sealing plate and the aileron leading edge skin. The sealing cloth has excess length so that it does not interfere with the rotation of the aileron.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a second sealing strip, one end of which is fixed to the leading edge skin of the aileron.
[0008] Furthermore, the end face of the aileron sealing plate is a right-angled C-shaped surface, which includes a vertical straight plate surface and a flat edge surface that is perpendicularly connected to the upper and lower ends of the straight plate surface.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes Z-shaped profiles, one end of which is installed on the rear straight plate surface of the aileron sealing plate, and the other end of which is connected to the sealing cloth.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a pressure strip, one end of which is fixed to the Z-shaped profile.
[0011] Furthermore, the Z-shaped profile, pressure strip one, and pressure strip two are all long strip structures of the same length.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention proposes adding a sealing cloth between the aileron sealing plate and the aileron leading-edge skin, and designing the aileron sealing plate as a straight plate rather than an arc shape that matches the aileron leading-edge skin. This improves the shape of the aileron sealing plate and its support for the upper and lower wing surfaces. The sealing cloth design eliminates the impact of airflow through the gap between the aileron nacelle and the aileron on the aileron's aerodynamic efficiency. Specifically, this invention can be used in narrow gaps in aircraft wings where airflow needs to be blocked. Due to mechanical movement, gaps are unavoidable in moving parts of the wing structure, and the airflow through these gaps during flight negatively impacts the aileron's aerodynamic efficiency. Adding a sealing cloth between the aileron sealing plate and the aileron leading-edge skin can block the airflow between the aileron nacelle and the aileron, thereby improving the efficiency of the aileron control mechanism.
