The landing gear support fixtures include a nose landing gear support fixture 3 and a main landing gear support fixture 4. After the aircraft is leveled, the nose landing gear support fixture 3 replaces the jacks 2 at the nose landing gear and is fixed to the nose landing gear mounting point of the aircraft frame 16 to support the fuselage frame 16. There are two main landing gear support fixtures 4, which replace the two jacks 2 at the main landing gear and are fixed to the main landing gear mounting point of the aircraft to support the fuselage.
[0015] The aforementioned nose landing gear support fixture 3 is used to replace the jack 21 at the nose landing gear after the aircraft is leveled, serving to support the fuselage frame 16; it includes a frame connecting fork 5, a column 6, a reinforcing rib 7, a flange 8, and a tie rod 9, which are welded together as follows: Figure 2As shown; flange 8 is located at the bottom, made of Q235A steel plate with a thickness of δ20mm, and has 8 φ28mm mounting holes, which are fixedly connected to the ground platform 1; column 6 is fixed at the center of the upper surface of flange 8, made of Q235A / (G152×12)mm cold-drawn steel pipe, and its height is set according to the actual support height after the aircraft is leveled. A reinforcing rib 7 is fixedly installed at the lower part of column 6, made of No. 6 Q235A channel steel. Support feet are installed at the bottom of reinforcing rib 7 to adjust the gap during the installation of the fixed tooling. A diagonal tie rod 9 is installed on column 6. One end is connected to column 6 through a half-clamp structure, and the other end is connected and fastened to the original landing gear actuator cylinder by end threaded pins and nuts, referring to the installation form of the aircraft landing gear actuator cylinder. At the connection point, to ensure that the nose landing gear support fixture 3 does not shift around the landing gear connection point as the axis; the frame connecting fork 5 is welded and fixed to the top of the column 6, and is set as an inverted triangular support structure with a horizontal top according to the shape of the 16 frame, and is welded from Q235A / δ30mm steel plate. Referring to the nose landing gear connection method, the top of the frame connecting fork 5 is provided with a groove that matches the structure of the aircraft nose landing gear mounting point. Pin sleeves are provided on both sides of the groove. The pin sleeves are made of (G65×10)mm steel pipe to ensure that their rigidity meets the usage requirements. Adjusting bolts (left and right threaded) are installed in the pin sleeves and fastened to the nose landing gear mounting point on the aircraft 16 frame. The adjusting bolts are manufactured according to the original assembly bolt size of the aircraft to ensure that the gap is the same as the original state.
[0016] After the frame connecting fork 5 of the nose landing gear support fixture 3 is connected to the corresponding installation part of the aircraft, the space position of the aircraft is adjusted using jack 2. After the aircraft is leveled, the height of the column 6 is determined according to the actual height position of the frame connecting fork 5, and then the remaining parts are welded and assembled. After the four reinforcing ribs 7 support the feet and the installation gap is adjusted, the flange 8 is fixed to the ground platform 1. The installation hole position of the flange 8 and the ground platform 1 is drilled on-site according to the actual installation position, and then secured with bolts.
[0017] The main landing gear support fixture 4 has two symmetrically arranged components. After the aircraft is leveled, these components replace the two jacks 2 at the main landing gear location to support the fuselage. The top is fixed to the main landing gear mounting point. The main landing gear support fixture 4 also includes a frame connecting fork 5, a column 6, a reinforcing rib 7, a flange 8, and a tie rod 9. After assembly and welding, as shown... Figure 3As shown, the column 6, flange 8, and tie rod 9 are the same as those in the nose landing gear support fixture 3. The reinforcing rib 7 is connected between the column 6 and the flange 8. The frame connecting fork 5 is fixed to the top of the column 6. It is set as a triangular structure with reference to the main landing gear connection method. It is welded from Q235A / δ30mm steel plate and the mounting surface is inclined. The mounting surfaces of the frame connecting forks 5 on the two main landing gear support fixtures 4 are opposite each other. The mounting surfaces are all grooved to match the structure of the main landing gear mounting point. Pin sleeves are provided on both sides of the grooves. The pin sleeves are also the same as those in the nose landing gear support fixture 3.
[0018] After the frame connecting fork 5 of the main landing gear support fixture 4 is connected to the corresponding installation part of the aircraft, the space position of the aircraft is adjusted using jack 2. After the aircraft is leveled, the height of the column 6 is determined according to the actual height position of the frame connecting fork 5, and then the remaining parts are welded and assembled. The mounting hole position of the flange 8 connected to the ground platform 1 is drilled on-site according to the actual installation position, and then secured with bolts.
[0019] The installation and usage process is as follows:
[0020] After the ground platform 1 is leveled, the aircraft body and jacks 2 are placed on the ground platform 1. The frame connecting forks 5 of the nose landing gear support fixture 3 and the main landing gear support fixture 4 are connected to the corresponding installation parts of the aircraft. Jacks 2 are used to level the aircraft. After the aircraft is leveled, the height of the columns 6 of the nose landing gear support fixture 3 and the main landing gear support fixture 4 is determined according to the actual height position of each frame connecting fork 5, and the remaining parts are welded and assembled. The nose landing gear support fixture 3 uses the reinforcing ribs 7 connected to its columns 6 to support the feet and adjust the installation gap. The nose landing gear support fixture 3 and the main landing gear support fixture 4 are drilled on the flange 8 according to the actual installation position, and then connected and secured to the ground platform 1 with bolts. The verticality of the columns 6 after the fixture is installed is calibrated by laser.
