Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft structural testing technology, specifically relating to a static torque testing device for an aircraft attachment casing. Background Technology
[0002] The aircraft's accessory gearbox is part of the aircraft's propulsion system and an important component of the accessory transmission system. It is a gearbox with multiple accessory mounting seats, and its main function is to transfer the engine's output power to the aircraft accessories, or to transfer the starting power of the DC generator to the engine, thus playing a role in energy transfer.
[0003] With the increase in thrust-to-weight ratio of aero engines, the fly-attachment casing is further developing towards high speed, heavy load, and light weight. In order to verify the working reliability of the designed fly-attachment casing, the product must undergo tests such as static torque test on the test bench to verify the quality of design and manufacturing.
[0004] Existing testing methods mostly rely on dedicated test benches for aircraft attachment casings and apply torque through hydraulic and electronic control methods. The operation is relatively cumbersome, and the investment in dedicated test benches is substantial. Utility Model Content
[0005] Purpose of the utility model: In order to verify the working reliability of the designed fly attachment casing, the utility model provides a static torque test device for the fly attachment casing shell. It does not require the investment of a test bench in the early stage and uses a relatively simple and reliable mechanical structure to meet the requirements of the static torque test of the fly attachment casing.
[0006] Technical Solution: To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objective, a static torque testing device for a flight attachment casing is proposed. The testing device consists of a stand, a fixed base, a plug rod, an adapter, a connecting device, and weights. The stand is used to connect and fix the flight attachment casing. The fixed base is fixed at the middle position of the top of the stand. The adapter and the input shaft end of the flight attachment casing are aligned with the plug holes on the fixed base and the connecting base, and the plug rod is inserted to keep the input shaft of the flight attachment casing stationary. Then, the connecting device is installed into the spline sleeve on the flight attachment casing. The lever arm of the connecting device is kept horizontal, and the center distance between the two holes of the lever arm is a set value. Finally, according to the required static torque, weights of appropriate mass are placed on the tray to realize the setting of the static torque test for the flight attachment casing.
[0007] Furthermore, the stand is used to install and fix the product; the main support is welded from square steel, and two legs are horizontally arranged at the bottom. Square steel plates are welded to both sides of the legs for installing and fixing the stand.
[0008] Furthermore, triangular reinforcing ribs are welded at the corners of the outriggers and the support frame to stabilize the structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the main support includes left and right supports, each equipped with a left and right hanging lug, and an upper pull rod on the upper part of the main support. All three are connected to the joint bearings on the flight attachment casing, thereby suspending and fixing the product on the stand.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting device includes a connecting shaft, a lever arm, a limit screw, a hanging rod, a tray, and a nut; the outer spline section of the connecting shaft meshes with the inner spline on the product's drive shaft, and the hexagonal hole of the lever arm connects to the hexagonal shaft section of the connecting shaft to transmit the torque on the lever arm. After connecting the lever arm to the connecting shaft, the limit screw is screwed in to fix it and prevent the lever arm from sliding off; the other end of the lever arm is provided with a through hole for connecting to the hanging rod, the hanging rod is perpendicular to the lever arm, and is connected and fixed to the tray at the bottom by a nut.
[0011] Furthermore, the mounting base is used to fix the input shaft of the fly-attached housing to the test bench and, through the insertion rod, keep the input shaft stationary to meet the requirements of the static torque test. The mounting base is placed in the middle of the bench through the mounting bracket and the lateral position of the mounting base is limited by the limiting groove below. The fixing hole is used to insert screws to fix the mounting base to the bench. The insertion rod hole on the fixing rod is used to align with the insertion rod hole on the adapter and insert the insertion rod to limit the rotation of the product input shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the adapter is connected and fixed to the end face of the product input shaft by the adapter plate. The adapter plate is designed with fixing holes and positioning holes around its perimeter that correspond to the end face of the product input shaft, for connecting and fixing the adapter plate to the input shaft.
[0013] Furthermore, the connecting shaft is used to connect to the drive shaft on the product, transmitting torque to the product's drive shaft; the spline section is an external spline that meshes with the internal spline on the product's drive shaft; the limiting end face is used to limit the position of the lever arm; the other end of the connecting shaft is a hexagonal shaft that mates with the hexagonal hole on the lever arm; the threaded hole on the end face is used to install the limiting screw. After installation, the lever arm and the connecting shaft are fixed together to prevent slippage during the test.
[0014] Technical Advantages: This utility model employs a purely mechanical structure, avoiding the use of hydraulic or electrical control test benches. It is stable, reliable, and unaffected by other factors as it does not utilize electricity, pneumatics, or hydraulics. The test bench frame uses a welded square steel structure and is designed with support legs and reinforcing ribs, resulting in structural stability. Compared to a standard test bench, it occupies less space and can also serve as a fixed frame for other test items on the flight-attached casing product. The connecting device has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has good versatility, allowing for easy changes in the direction of torque application. The use of a lever-weight system provides convenient and quick application of static torque, with the torque value controlled by the weight of the weights, ensuring stability and reliability.
