Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to general aviation auxiliary equipment technical field, concretely, the utility model relates to a tool for drilling aircraft instrument panel. BACKGROUND
[0002] The aircraft instrument panel is an important aircraft core component that integrates flight instruments, navigation instruments, engine instruments, warning and indicating lights, communication and autopilot systems.
[0003] The aircraft instrument panel needs to be punched for installing various parts, and at least two operators are needed to work together when punching. The existing hole opening mode in the aircraft assembly site has seriously failed to meet the subsequent batch production of aircraft, and it takes about 20 hours to open a hole in the site, which requires a lot of time and effort, and the work efficiency is low. When punching the aircraft instrument panel, the hole may be punched off. The drill bit of the drilling tool used in the punching process may damage the insulating skin on the aircraft instrument panel, and the metal dust generated may enter the equipment, affecting the normal use of the equipment. Moreover, the on-site punching will make the part mounting hole of each aircraft panel different, and may also produce errors of several to tens of millimeters.

The moving assembly is a linear slide structure, the base is installed on the slide of the moving assembly, and the moving assembly is used to drive the base to move linearly. A plurality of positioning units are arranged on the base along the moving direction parallel to the base, the positioning unit is provided with a positioning protrusion and a positioning slot, the positioning protrusion is cylindrical, the positioning slot is provided correspondingly with the positioning protrusion, and a plurality of positioning slots are arranged parallel to each other. The positioning protrusion can cooperate with the first through hole of the buckle body, and at the same time, the positioning slot can cooperate with the convex edge of the buckle body. Therefore, the finger air cylinder can fix and position the clamped buckle body on the positioning unit, so that the subsequent picking device can pick the buckle body on the positioning tool to assemble it on the instrument panel.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the utility model are further explained in detail by comparing the drawings and the description of the embodiments, the purpose is to help the technical personnel in the field to have more complete, accurate and deep understanding to the conception and technical scheme of the utility model, and help to implement.
[0020] As Figure 1 And Figure 2 The utility model provides a kind of aircraft instrument panel drilling tool, including the drilling template 1 for placing aircraft instrument panel and the clamping device for clamping aircraft instrument panel and being arranged on the drilling template 1, a plurality of drilling areas are arranged on the drilling template 1, and the hole position 3 for determining the drilling position 3 is arranged.
[0021] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the clamping device includes a clamp 4 arranged on the drilling template 1 and a pressure head 5 arranged on the clamp 4 and used to contact the aircraft instrument panel. In this embodiment, the clamp 4 is a horizontal clamp, and the structure of the horizontal clamp is as known to those skilled in the art, which will not be described here. The clamp 4 is fixedly arranged at the outer edge of the drilling template 1, and the pressure head 5 on the clamp 4 is used to apply a pressing force to the aircraft instrument panel to fix the aircraft instrument panel on the drilling template 1.
[0022] As preferred, multiple clamping devices are arranged, and the clamping devices are distributed around the outer edge of the drilling template 1, and all the clamping devices collectively clamp the aircraft instrument panel to ensure that the aircraft instrument panel is fixed firmly.
[0023] As shown in Figure 1 , the drilling area is provided with at least one hole site 3, and a through hole is arranged at the hole site 3 in the thickness direction of the drilling template 1. A drill sleeve is arranged in the through hole, and the drill sleeve has a circular ring structure. The drill sleeve is used to guide the drill bit of the drilling tool to pass through, and the drill sleeve is used to position the drill bit during drilling to ensure that the drill bit can be accurately positioned at the position where drilling is needed, thereby ensuring the drilling quality. The drill sleeve can also reduce the friction and wear between the drill bit and the drilling template 1 to some extent, thereby prolonging the service life of the drill bit.
[0024] As shown in Figure 1 , a boundary marker 2 surrounding the drilling area is arranged on the drilling template 1, and the boundary marker 2 has a mouth-shaped shape. The boundary marker 2 is composed of two parallel long sides and two parallel short sides, forming a rectangular outline. The inside of this outline is empty, and the hole site 3 of the drilling area is located at the center of the boundary marker 2. The hole sites 3 at the same boundary marker 2 correspond to the circular holes drilled on the aircraft instrument panel, and the hole sites 3 of the same drilling area use the same drill bit. The boundary marker 2 should be slightly larger than the drilling area to ensure that there is enough space for drilling operation. The boundary marker 2 should accurately surround the drilling area to ensure that the drill bit does not exceed this range during drilling. The boundary marker 2 provides a clear reference point for the operator, helping them to quickly locate the drilling area. This helps to reduce operational errors and improve work efficiency. The boundary marker 2 can also serve as an indication mark for drilling operation, reminding the operator to pay attention to the position and range of the drilling area, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the drilling operation.
[0025] The boundary marker 2 can be made on the drilling template 1 by laser cutting, printing or scribing, etc. When making, the lines of the marker should be clear, accurate and meet the design requirements.
[0026] The aircraft instrument panel drilling tool has the following advantages:
[0027] 1. The production efficiency is improved, in the actual production process, at least two colleagues need to work together to drill holes, and the holes cannot be accurately positioned in the early stage. With the auxiliary tool, one person can realize the drilling work of the entire instrument panel, saving the working time of another colleague.
[0028] 2. The working efficiency of the production personnel is improved, and the labor cost caused by multi-person operation is reduced. After using the tool, the drilling time of an instrument panel is about 30 minutes, and all positions can be drilled. The drilling time of an instrument panel in the field is about 20 hours.
[0029] 3. The product quality is improved, the drilling position is accurate and beautiful after using the tool. The holes are not horizontal and vertical due to on-site drilling, and the error of each instrument panel hole position is prevented, which affects the experience and reputation of the customer.
[0030] 4. The accuracy of the component installation position on the instrument panel can be ensured, and the matching drill bit can be quickly found through the tool to drill the hole.
[0031] The above is an exemplary description of the present application in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present application is not limited by the above method. As long as various non-essential improvements are made by using the method concept and technical solution of the present application, or the above concept and technical solution of the present application is directly applied to other occasions without improvement, it is within the protection scope of the present application.
