DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

The opposite threads at the two ends are arranged, and the first and second fork joints 2 and 3 can be simultaneously increased or decreased in distance from the end of the support rod 1 by screwing the support rod 1.
[0025] Specifically, a plurality of through holes are formed in one side of the connecting plate 6, and a support arm 7 is connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 6. The second fork joint 3 comprises a second connecting end 18 and a second cylindrical head 19 connected at the end, and the second cylindrical head 19 is used for threadedly connecting with the internal threaded hole formed at the end of the support rod 1.
[0026] When supporting the aircraft speed brake, the first fork joint 2 is rotatably installed with the corresponding support arm on the speed brake, the connecting plate 6 at the end of the second fork joint 3 is fixed on the speed brake cabin by a bolt passing through the through hole, and the support rod 1 can support the aircraft speed brake. When the inclination angle of the support needs to be adjusted, the support rod 1 is screwed in the forward direction or in the reverse direction, so that the first and second fork joints 2 and 3 can be simultaneously increased or decreased in distance from the end of the support rod 1, thereby increasing or decreasing the support length of the support rod 1, so as to adjust the inclination angle of the support.
[0027] Specifically, the second connecting end 18 is provided with a second rotating groove 17 at one end away from the second cylindrical head 19, and one end of the support arm 7 is rotatably installed in the second rotating groove 17. The end of the support arm 7 is provided with a pin hole 16 penetrating through in the thickness direction and the upper and lower side walls of the second rotating groove 17, and a connecting pin 4 is inserted into the pin hole 16, and the support arm 7 is rotatable in the second rotating groove 17 through the connecting pin 4.
[0028] After the end of the support arm 7 is inserted into the second rotating groove 17, the two pin holes 16 on the second rotating groove 17 are aligned with the pin hole 16 on the support arm 7, one end of the connecting pin 4 penetrates through the three pin holes 16 from top to bottom, and the support arm 7 is rotatably installed in the second rotating groove 17.
[0029] Specifically, the first fork joint 2 includes a first cylindrical head 13 and a first connecting end 14 connected at the end, and the first cylindrical head 13 is used for threaded connection with the internally threaded hole provided at the end of the support rod 1. The first connecting end 14 is provided with a first rotating groove 15 at one end away from the first cylindrical head 13, and the upper and lower side walls of the first rotating groove 15 are provided with pin holes 16 penetrating through, and a connecting pin 4 is inserted between the two pin holes 16.
[0030] When the first fork joint 2 is used, the corresponding support arm on the speed reduction plate is inserted into the first rotating groove 15, and the support arm is also provided with a pin hole 16, and when the pin hole 16 on the support arm is aligned with the pin hole 16 on the first rotating groove 15, one end of the connecting pin 4 penetrates through the three pin holes 16 to rotatably install the first rotating groove 15 and the support arm.
[0031] Specifically, the connecting pin 4 includes a cylindrical pin 10, one end of the cylindrical pin 10 is connected with a pull ring 5, the other end is provided with an adapter groove, a stop piece 11 is rotatably installed in the adapter groove through a rotating shaft 12, the two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are rotatably installed with the two side walls in the adapter groove, the rotating shaft 12 penetrates through the middle part of the stop piece 11 and is fixedly connected with the stop piece 11, and one end of the stop piece 11 extends to the outside of the adapter groove when the stop piece 11 is coaxial with the cylindrical pin 10. When the connecting pin 4 is inserted into the pin hole 16 for installation, the stop piece 11 is coaxial with the cylindrical pin 10, and thus it presents a cylindrical shape, which is convenient to directly penetrate through the pin hole 16. After penetrating through the pin hole 16, the stop piece 11 is rotated, and the stop piece 11 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the cylindrical pin 10 and is perpendicular to the cylindrical pin 10, which can limit the bottom of the lowermost pin hole 16. The upper part of the connecting pin 4 is limited by the pull ring 5, so that the connecting pin 4 is not easy to fall during use.
[0032] Specifically, the support rod 1 is provided with a force adding hole 9 penetrating through the middle part, and the outer wall of the support rod 1 is also provided with anti-skid lines 8. The anti-skid lines 8 are used to increase the friction force when the support rod 1 is twisted. If it is difficult to twist the support rod 1, a force applying rod can be inserted into the force adding hole 9 to improve the efficiency and convenience of twisting.
[0033] When supporting the aircraft's speed brakes, this support device is temporarily installed on the aircraft for support. The specific installation method is as follows:
[0034] The first connecting end 14 of the first fork-type connector 2 is rotatably installed with the corresponding support arm on the speed reducer via the first rotating groove 15. The connecting plate 6 of the second fork-type connector 3 is fixed to the speed reducer compartment with bolts passing through the through holes. The support rod 1 can then support the aircraft speed reducer. When it is necessary to adjust the tilt angle of the support, the support rod 1 is turned clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the distance between the first fork-type connector 2 and the second fork-type connector 3 and the end of the support rod 1 increases or decreases simultaneously, thereby increasing or decreasing the support length of the support rod 1, and thus adjusting the tilt angle of the support. After use, the connecting plate 6 and the first connecting end 14 are removed from the speed reducer compartment and the speed reducer respectively, so that the entire device can be disassembled.
[0035] Since the internal threaded holes at both ends of the support rod 1 have opposite thread directions and their depths are both greater than the lengths of the first cylindrical head 13 and the second cylindrical head 19, they can fully enter and exit the internal threaded holes. Furthermore, by turning the support rod 1, the first cylindrical head 13 and the second cylindrical head 19 can simultaneously enter into the internal threaded holes or move outward from the internal threaded holes.
[0036] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
