Therefore, the fairing has a large curvature change. Because of the characteristics of glass fiber reinforced plastic, the composite fairing and the boss on the fairing are easily deformed, which leads to a complicated process, assembly trouble and uncertain actual deviation.

[0005] In actual production and assembly, the fairing boss profile size in the spanwise position may have deviation. The installation of the theoretically designed device may have problems, which requires disassembly, rework or change of the theoretically designed size, etc., which increases many steps and processes and wastes a lot of time and economic cost.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 , 2 The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to sections 3, 4, and 5, and specific embodiments:

[0027] First, the detection plate 1 is connected and fixed on the standard plate of the required corresponding machine type through the two reference holes. The two reference holes and four connecting holes on the detection plate 1 are pressed into the fixed bushings during manufacturing. Then, the four positioning holes on the detection plate 1 are poured into bushings according to the required hole position on the standard plate, and the quick-release bolt 2 and knurled nut 3 are inserted to fix the fixed bushings of the four positioning holes on the detection plate 1. After the epoxy resin is cured, the detection plate 1, quick-release bolt 2 and knurled nut 3 are removed from the standard plate. Then, the detection plate 1 is connected with the composite fairing product through the quick-release bolt 2 and knurled nut 3, and the detection plate 1 and the composite fairing product are placed flat on the workbench or operating table, such as Figure 5 .

[0028] The detection angle seat 4 is connected with the detection plate 1 through the quick-release bolt 5 and handle nut 6. After the detection angle seat 4 is installed and fixed on the detection plate 1, different specifications and numbers of inserts 7 are inserted between the detection angle seat 4 and the theoretical reserved gap of the convex surface of the composite fairing product according to the actual gap size. The distance size between the detection angle seat 4 and the convex surface of the composite fairing product is determined by the number and thickness size of the inserts 7. If the actual distance size between the two is inconsistent with the theoretical gap size, the convex surface shape of the composite fairing product is deviated from the theoretical shape during product design.

[0029] At this time, the composite fairing product can be repaired in time to meet the assembly requirements of the composite fairing product, and then the product assembly is performed. The situation that the size of the composite fairing product is deviated and cannot be assembled during the assembly process will not occur. Due to the easy size deviation of the composite fairing product, the composite fairing convex surface detection fixture can timely detect whether the composite fairing product has size deviation. The production efficiency is greatly improved.

[0030] In actual production, when other similar composite cover convex surface size detection is required, the size and outer shape of the detection plate 1, the size and outer shape of the detection angle seat 4, the number, thickness, outer shape and size of the inserts 7 can be adjusted and changed according to the actual situation of the composite cover product to complete the operation and installation.

The detection flat plate 1 is also engraved with the center symmetry line and the heading of the aircraft. The 2 reference holes and 4 connecting holes are pressed into the fixed bushings when the detection flat plate 1 is manufactured, and the fixed bushings are in interference fit with the detection flat plate 1. The 4 positioning holes are not pressed into the bushings when the detection flat plate 1 is manufactured, and the fixed bushings need to be cast in the 4 positioning holes after the standard flat plate of the corresponding aircraft model is connected through the 2 reference holes. The quick-release bolts 2 and the knurled nuts 3 are connected with the fairing frame plane through the 4 positioning holes of the detection flat plate 1.

The detection angle seat 4 is composed of a bottom plate 8, a vertical plate 9 and a reinforcing rib 10. The bottom plate 8 has 2 round holes, and the quick-release bolts 5 and the handle nuts 6 are connected with the detection flat plate 1. The vertical plate 9 has a theoretical gap size with the convex surface of the composite fairing, and the insert piece 7 is inserted between the two to determine whether the convex surface of the composite fairing is deviated.
