A hot-edge outlet support is installed near the hot-edge outlet air duct, and a fan inlet support is installed near the main body of the fan inlet air duct. In addition, in some other bleed air precoolers, a hot-edge inlet support is installed on the main body near the hot-edge inlet air duct.

[0027] The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0028] Example 1, such as Figs. 1-3 As shown, a bleed air precooler overhaul fixture includes a frame 8 and a positioning plate 7. The positioning plate 7 is used to place the bleed air precooler. Both ends of the positioning plate 7 are rotatably connected to the frame 8 via rotating shafts, allowing the positioning plate 7 to rotate 360° relative to the frame 8. A rotary positioning structure is connected to the end of one of the rotating shafts extending out of the frame 8. This structure serves two purposes: driving the positioning plate 7 to rotate and locking the rotation angle of the positioning plate 7 to adjust the angle of the bleed air precooler, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving work efficiency. The rotary positioning structure is existing technology and includes a reducer connected to the rotating shaft and a handwheel connected to the reducer. It also includes a positioning pin horizontally mounted on the frame and a mounting plate that rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft. The mounting plate has multiple circumferentially arranged insertion holes that mate with the positioning pins. Rollers are also provided at the bottom of the frame 8 to facilitate the overall movement of the overhaul fixture.

The third pressing assembly 3 comprises a third locking block 31 and a third locking mechanism 32. The third locking block 31 is movably connected to the third locking mechanism 32 and can move horizontally and reciprocally. The third locking mechanism 32 can also lock the position of the third locking block 31. The third locking block 31 is provided with a locking hole. The locking hole is matched with a mounting hole on the lower connecting lug of the hot side outlet support. The third locking block 31 moves to the hot side outlet support and makes the locking hole aligned with the mounting hole. The two are connected through screws or rivets, thereby realizing the fixation of the hot side outlet support.
