Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blade static torque measurement technology, specifically providing a tooling for repairing static balance of blades in the field. Background Technology
[0002] Static balancing of the main blades involves adjusting the weight of the counterweights in the static balancing box to adjust the static torque difference of the blades caused by manufacturing deviations, ensuring that the static torque of each blade in the same aircraft is adjusted within a certain range. Existing technologies are as follows:
[0003] 1) A device for measuring and adjusting the static balance of helicopter rotor blades and its method of use (CN115931221A). This invention discloses a device for measuring and adjusting the static balance of helicopter rotor blades. It includes a T-shaped support base, an electronic balance assembly, and a T-shaped bracket assembly.
[0004] 2) A method and fixture for measuring the center of gravity of a rotor (CN109163847A). This invention relates to a method and fixture for measuring the center of gravity of a rotor, including a rotor root bushing positioning device, a rotor blade leading edge positioning device, and three electronic scales. The rotor blade center of gravity position is calculated using three-point support and the weight of the three points.
[0005] 3) A tail rotor blade static balance testing fixture (CN110657918A) This invention relates to a tail rotor blade static balance testing fixture, which includes a weight measuring instrument and a support structure. The support structure is used to place the tail rotor blade and uses the lever principle to detect the static balance relationship of the two blades.
[0006] Existing technologies all require a stable connection between the blade and the measuring device to reliably measure the blade's static moment. However, human error during each blade installation leads to significant fluctuations in measurement results, failing to meet actual production requirements. Controlling these operational fluctuations is difficult, necessitating constant fine-tuning of the blade, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Existing balance-type blade static moment measuring devices have a large footprint, while digital measuring devices are not only space-consuming but also extremely expensive and difficult to debug. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the following issues: based on the analysis of the principle of blade static torque measurement, this invention focuses on solving the problems of poor repeatability and accuracy in blade static torque measurement, which does not meet the requirements of use; cumbersome and complex blade installation and positioning with low installation efficiency; complicated static torque adjustment operation; and large footprint and high cost of static balance detection device.

[0012] The propeller tip support assembly 3 includes a support block body and a positioning pin. The support block body has a leading edge positioning groove 3-1, which is adapted to the shape of the leading edge of the propeller tip, and the opening direction of the leading edge positioning groove is vertically upward. The propeller tip support assembly 3 has a positioning pin groove 3-4, which corresponds to the counterweight box hole. One end of the positioning pin can be inserted into the counterweight box hole, and the other end can fall in the positioning pin groove, so that the propeller blade is positioned.
[0013] The paddle tip support assembly 3 also has a counterweight placement platform 3-2, which has multiple placement slots 3-3 for preventing the counterweight from falling.
[0014] Furthermore, the counterweight placement platform has a horizontally flipped edge.
[0015] Furthermore, there are at least four placement slots 3-3.
