[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic flipping and rotating mechanism for aircraft missile loading, including an assembly stand 1, a vertical plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the assembly stand 1, a flipping component installed on the vertical plate 2, a translation component installed on the flipping component, and a clamping component installed on the translation component.

[0027] The flipping assembly includes a flipping shaft 3 rotatably connected to the vertical plate 2. The end of the flipping shaft 3 away from the vertical plate 2 is connected to a first rotary motor 4 via a coupling. The base of the first rotary motor 4 is fixedly connected to the assembly frame 1. A flipping plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flipping shaft 3. A second rotary motor 6 is fixedly connected to the front end face of the flipping plate 5. The output shaft of the second rotary motor 6 is connected to a rotary plate 7 via a coupling.

[0028] The first rotary motor 4 can be started, which drives the flipping plate 5 to flip through the flipping shaft 3, flattening the flipping plate 5, thus facilitating the subsequent clamping of the bomb rack.

[0029] In this embodiment, the translation component includes a pair of first slide rails 8 fixedly connected to the front end face of the rotating plate 7, and a pair of first slide plates 9 are slidably engaged on the first slide rails 8. A first electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the front end face of the rotating plate 7, and the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 10 is connected to the first slide plate 9. A pair of second slide rails 11 are fixedly connected to the front end face of the first slide plate 9, and a second slide plate 12 is slidably engaged on the second slide rails 11. A pair of second telescopic rods 13 are fixedly connected to the front end face of the first slide plate 9, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the second slide plate 12.

[0030] The first electric actuator 10 can be activated to move the first slide plate 9 at the first slide rail 8 according to the actual situation, thereby adjusting the lateral position of the clamping arm 16 to ensure that it is clamped in the force-bearing position of the ammunition rack. Then, the second electric actuator 13 can be activated to move the second slide plate 12 at the second slide rail 11, thereby adjusting the longitudinal position of the clamping arm 16 to clamp the ammunition rack.

[0031] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a reducer 14 fixedly connected to the front end face of the second slide plate 12, and the input end and output end of the reducer 14 are respectively fixedly connected to a third rotary motor 24 and a pressure sensor 15, and the end of the pressure sensor 15 away from the third rotary motor 24 is fixedly connected to a clamping arm 16.

[0032] The third rotary motor 24 is started, which, together with the reducer 14 and the pressure sensor 15, drives the clamping arm 16 to rotate and open the clamping arm 16, thereby facilitating the subsequent clamping of the bomb rack.

[0033] In this embodiment, the assembly stand 1 is further configured such that a plurality of sleeves 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the assembly stand 1, a screw 18 is threadedly connected to the inside of the sleeve 17, a rotating handle 19 is fixedly connected to the top end of the screw 18, and a foot support 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the screw 18.

[0034] Hold the assembly stand 1 and turn the rotating handle 19. The rotating handle 19 drives the screw 18 to rotate. The screw 18 can move through the sleeve 17 and drive the foot support 20 to move until the foot support 20 is in contact with the ground, thus fixing it in place.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the assembly stand 1 is further provided with several casters 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the front end of the assembly stand 1 is further configured to be fixedly connected to a controller 22;

[0037] The controller 22 can be electrically connected to various electrical structures to control them. This is existing technology and can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0038] In this embodiment, the right end of the assembly stand 1 is hinged with a drag handle 23 via a pin.

[0039] The drag handle 23 is a quick-release pin design, which can prevent the drag handle 23 from interfering with the shell holder during the rotation process while in operation.

[0040] It is worth noting that the electrical structures and other components involved in this application can be selected according to the user's needs, as long as they meet the requirements of this application. At the same time, the corresponding control circuits and other components are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0042] Example: This device operates in two states during actual use: a mobile state and a working state.

[0043] In the moving state, it is supported by four omnidirectional wheels 21, and the direction and movement trajectory are controlled by the drag handle 23. The drag handle 23 is a quick-release pin setting, which can avoid interference between the drag handle 23 and the shell rack during the rotation process in the working state.

[0044] In the working state, hold the assembly stand 1 and rotate the rotary handle 19. Rotating the handle 19 drives the screw 18 to rotate, which moves via the sleeve 17, moving the foot support 20 until it is in contact with the ground for fixed support. Once supported, start the first rotary motor 4, which drives the flip plate 5 to flip via the flip shaft 3, flattening the flip plate 5. Then, the controller 22 starts the third rotary motor 24, which, in conjunction with the reducer 14 and pressure sensor 15, drives the clamping arm 16 to rotate, opening the clamping arm 16. Next, start the first electric actuator 10, which, depending on the actual situation, moves the first slide plate 9 along the first slide rail 8, adjusting the lateral position of the clamping arm 16 to ensure it is clamped in a load-bearing position on the magazine holder. The second electric actuator 13 is activated, causing the second slide plate 12 to move at the second slide rail 11. This adjusts the longitudinal position of the clamping arm 16 and begins clamping the ammunition rack. The clamping stops automatically based on the measured value of the pressure sensor 15. The pressure value is set to ensure clamping stability without damaging the ammunition rack. After clamping, each second electric actuator 13 moves synchronously, causing the ammunition rack to move upward by 20mm. This controls the first rotary motor 4 to rotate, causing the flipping plate 5 to reset. Then, the second rotary motor 6 is activated, causing the rotary plate 7 to rotate 180° to flip the ammunition rack. The second electric actuator 13 moves synchronously again, causing the ammunition rack to move downward by 20mm, ensuring that the ammunition rack is placed on the assembly table 1. The flipping operation is now complete, resulting in higher stability and greater versatility. It also reduces complexity and risk for operators.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, the phrase "comprising an element defined as..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
