[0025] The technical solutions of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with examples below, obviously, the described examples are only part of the examples of the utility model, not all the examples. Based on the examples in the utility model, all other examples obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-9 As shown in the figure, a kind of testing device of the influence of aircraft cantilever conduit tightening torque on installation stress, including mounting base 1, the both ends of mounting base 1 are detachably installed with movable support 2, the cantilever conduit 3 to be tested is installed between two movable supports 2, and the end of cantilever conduit 3 is detachably installed with the end of movable support 2 by connecting mechanism.

[0027] Specifically, mounting base 1 is arranged in a "concave" shape, and "L"-shaped sliding grooves 8 are formed through the two side walls of mounting base 1, and scale lines are arranged on the outer edges of the sliding grooves 8, which are used for the installation of movable support 2. The movable support 2 can be adjusted and installed in the sliding grooves 8, which can adapt to different testing requirements. The scale lines are helpful to improve the accuracy of the position adjustment of the movable support 2.

[0028] Specifically, the movable support 2 includes a stop block 11, the two ends of the stop block 11 are connected with connecting pipes 10, the interiors of the two connecting pipes 10 are arranged in a through manner, and the ends of the two connecting pipes 10 away from the stop block 11 are arranged in a conical shape. The conical shape is convenient for adapting to the flared end of the cantilever conduit 3. The stop block 11 can play a limiting role when installed, and the nut 5 on one side is omitted. The two connecting pipes 10 are through, which is convenient for subsequent oil supply and pressure test.

[0029] Specifically, a limiting block is arranged at the connection between one side of the stop block 11 and the connecting pipe 10, the outer wall of the connecting pipe 10 is connected with two threaded sections 9, and the threaded section 9 close to the limiting block is connected with a nut 5.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting mechanism includes a nut 4, one end of the nut 4 is integrally connected with a threaded cylinder 14 for threaded connection with the connecting pipe 10, and the inner diameter of the threaded cylinder 14 is larger than that of the nut 4.

[0031] Specifically, the inside of the threaded cylinder 14 is sleeved with the flat nozzle 7, the flat nozzle 7 comprises a limiting ring 13 and a guide pipe 12, the guide pipe 12 is connected to one end of the limiting ring 13, and the inside of the limiting ring 13 and the guide pipe 12 is through, the diameter of the limiting ring 13 is matched with the inner diameter of the threaded cylinder 14, the diameter of the guide pipe 12 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting ring 13, and one end of the guide pipe 12 can extend from the inside to the outside of the nut 4. The nut 4 facilitates the screwing of the threaded cylinder 14, and when the nut 4 is screwed during installation, the threaded cylinder 14 can be driven to rotate. The arrangement of the flat nozzle 7 can make the flared end of the cantilever guide pipe 3 be uniformly stressed after installation, and the threaded cylinder 14 will not directly contact the flared end of the cantilever guide pipe 3 during rotation, so that the deformation of the flared end of the cantilever guide pipe 3 is not easy to cause, and the subsequent test is more accurate.

[0032] Specifically, a plurality of screw holes are further provided in the bottom of the mounting base 1. During installation, the mounting base 1 is fixedly installed on the preset experiment table surface through the plurality of screw holes in the bottom and the matched fixing bolts.

[0033] In use, the mounting base 1 is fixedly installed on the preset experiment table surface through the plurality of screw holes in the bottom and the matched fixing bolts. Then, the two movable supports 2 are respectively installed on the two side walls of the mounting base 1. During installation of the movable support 2, the limiting clamping block is placed in the inside of the sliding groove 8, the blocking block 11 is placed outside the mounting base 1, then according to the actual installation requirement, the limiting clamping block is slid in the inside of the sliding groove 8 until it is moved to the preset installation position, then the nut 5 is installed on the connecting pipe 10 away from the blocking block 11, the nut 5 is screwed, the nut 5 and the blocking block 11 clamp the side wall of the mounting base 1, so that the movable support 2 is stably installed on the side wall of the mounting base 1.

[0034] Then, the cantilever guide pipe 3 to be tested is sleeved with a nut 4 and a flat nozzle 7 in sequence at both ends, and the flat nozzle 7 is sleeved in the inside of the threaded cylinder 14. The two ends of the cantilever guide pipe 3 are flared according to the conical size of the end of the connecting pipe 10, and the end of the cantilever guide pipe 3 is expanded into a horn shape by using the existing pipe flaring equipment, which can be matched with the conical shape of the end of the connecting pipe 10, as shown in Figure 4

[0035] The horn-shaped end of the cantilever guide pipe 3 is clamped in the inside of the limiting ring 13. The horn-shaped small-diameter end abuts at the connection of the limiting ring 13 and the guide pipe 12, and the large-diameter end is flush with the end of the limiting ring 13 away from the guide pipe 12. After the limiting ring 13 is sleeved in the inside of the threaded cylinder 14, the bottom of the limiting ring 13 abuts with the end of the nut 4, then the threaded cylinder 14 is threadedly connected with the threaded section 9 of the connecting pipe 10 away from the nut 5, the horn-shaped end of the cantilever guide pipe 3 is sleeved outside the conical end of the connecting pipe 10, which is used for simulating the on-board installation state of the aircraft cantilever guide pipe 3.

[0036] ​After the cantilever conduit 3 is initially installed, a strain gauge 6 is bonded at a position close to the nut 5 on the outer wall of each end of the cantilever conduit 3, the strain gauge 6 is connected to an external connecting wire by welding, and the connecting wire is connected to a strain collection device hardware interface.

[0037] Subsequently, the torque of each end of the cantilever conduit 3 is tested and adjusted separately. The testing and adjusting process of each end is as follows:

[0038] One wrench is used to fix the nut 4 at one end of the cantilever conduit 3 and keep it stationary. Another torque wrench is used to slowly rotate the nut 4 at the end to be tested to the minimum tightening torque required by the installation process of the cantilever conduit 3. At this time, the strain value of the test end of the cantilever conduit 3 is recorded. The tightening torque value is slowly increased, and the corresponding strain value is recorded until the maximum tightening torque value required by the process is reached.

[0039] The tightening torque corresponding to the minimum strain value of the test end of the cantilever conduit 3 is analyzed, and this tightening torque is the most suitable tightening torque for this end of the cantilever conduit 3.

[0040] After the torque of one end of the cantilever conduit 3 is tested and adjusted, the testing and adjusting method of the other end is the same as that of the end, and the most suitable tightening torque of both ends of the cantilever conduit 3 is finally obtained. The testing process of the above two ends is to study the effect of the tightening torque of the cantilever conduit 3 on the installation stress and to determine the most suitable tightening torque.

[0041] Finally, the ports of the connecting pipes 10 outside the two side walls of the installation base 1 are externally connected to oil pipes, one end of each connecting pipe 10 is connected to an oil inlet pipe, and the other end is connected to an oil return pipe. An external oil supply device delivers hydraulic oil to the inside of the connecting pipe 10 from the oil inlet pipe, and the hydraulic oil flows through the cantilever conduit 3 and then flows out of the other end of the connecting pipe 10 to be collected from the oil return pipe, thereby simulating the normal oil delivery state of the cantilever conduit 3 and performing pressure supply testing. During the oil delivery process, it is observed whether there is oil leakage at the connection between the cantilever conduit 3 and the connecting pipe 10 to ensure that the most suitable tightening torque does not cause oil leakage during installation. If oil leakage occurs, the tightening torque needs to be retested and adjusted until no oil leakage occurs, and then the most suitable tightening torque is finally determined.
