Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an aircraft skin support bracket for training purposes, used to simulate the real aircraft skin maintenance environment for training new employees. Background Technology
[0002] Aircraft skin refers to the shaped components that surround the aircraft's frame structure and are fixed to the frame with adhesives or rivets, forming the aircraft's aerodynamic shape. The skin structure, formed by the aircraft skin and frame, has high load-bearing capacity and rigidity, yet is very lightweight, serving to bear and transmit aerodynamic loads. After bearing aerodynamic forces, the skin transmits these forces to the connected fuselage and wing frames, resulting in complex stress distribution. Furthermore, since the skin is in direct contact with the external environment, it requires not only high strength and good plasticity in the skin material, but also a smooth surface and high corrosion resistance.
[0003] Currently, it is impossible to simulate the real aircraft skin maintenance environment and objects in the maintenance training for new employees. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a training aircraft skin support frame to simulate the maintenance environment and objects on a real aircraft, so that new employees can experience and adapt to the maintenance environment and objects in advance, thereby improving training efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a training aircraft skin support bracket, which consists of a base, an upper bracket, a lower bracket, directional casters, swivel casters, an upper adjusting rod, and a lower adjusting rod. The bracket is fixed to the scrapped aircraft skin, vertically supporting the skin.
[0006] The base is constructed by welding two square tubes together, and caster mounting plates are welded to both ends for fixing directional casters and swivel casters.
[0007] The upper support is a trapezoidal structure formed by welding two long square tubes and a horizontally positioned square tube at the top. The bottom is connected to the base by welding, and the horizontally positioned square tube at the top is connected to the upper part of the skin by an adjustable upper adjustment rod.
[0008] The lower support is a small trapezoidal structure formed by welding two shorter square tubes and a horizontally positioned square tube at the top. The bottom is connected to the base by welding. The horizontally positioned square tube at the top of the lower support is connected to the lower part of the skin through an adjustable lower adjustment rod.
[0009] The aircraft skin support frame for training provided by this utility model uses scrap aircraft skin cut from the right side of the forward passenger cabin of the PTF (Premises Transport and Transportation Factory) for conversion into a cargo door. This material simulates aircraft skin, and its dimensions are used as parameters. The required support frame is then made from discarded tubing to vertically support the skin. This allows new employees to train directly on the skin, simulating aircraft maintenance scenarios and helping trainees adapt to the maintenance environment more quickly.
[0010] The skin is selected from scrapped aircraft skin. The length of the two longer square tubes of the upper support is less than the height of the scrapped aircraft skin, but greater than 2 / 3 of the height of the scrapped aircraft skin. The length of the two shorter square tubes of the lower support is 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of the height of the scrapped aircraft skin, and they are used to provide stable support for the upper and lower parts of the scrapped aircraft skin.
[0011] Based on the above scheme, the upper adjusting rod consists of a square tube and a skin mounting plate. The square tube has several adjusting holes and is connected to the horizontally set square tube connecting hole at the top of the upper bracket by a pin. The required length can be adjusted by changing the position of the holes. The skin mounting plate is connected to the other end of the square tube by welding and is used to adjust the required angle by rotating it up and down.
[0012] Based on the above scheme, the lower adjustment rod consists of a square tube and a skin mounting plate. The square tube has several adjustment holes and is connected to the connection hole of the horizontally set square tube at the top of the lower bracket by a pin. The required length can be adjusted by changing the position of the hole. The skin mounting plate is connected to the other end of the square tube by welding.
[0013] Specifically, the directional casters are bolted to the caster mounting plate on the base for movement; the swivel casters are bolted to another caster mounting plate on the base for movement and turning.
[0014] Specifically, the scrapped aircraft skin is bolted to the skin mounting plate of the upper and lower adjusting rods.
[0015] This invention simulates the maintenance environment and objects on a real aircraft, allowing new employees to experience and adapt to the maintenance environment and objects in advance, thereby improving training efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] A training aircraft skin support frame, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a support frame consisting of a base 1, an upper bracket 2, a lower bracket 3, directional casters 4, swivel casters 5, an upper adjusting rod 6, and a lower adjusting rod 7 is used to fix the scrapped aircraft skin 8. In this embodiment, two sets of parallel supports are used to vertically support the skin 8.
[0025] The base 1 is composed of two square tubes welded together, and caster mounting plates are welded to both ends for fixing the directional caster 4 and the swivel caster 5.
[0026] The upper support 2 is a trapezoidal structure formed by welding two long square tubes and a square tube with multiple adjustment holes on the top horizontally arranged. The bottom is connected to the base 1 by welding. The top of the upper support 2 is connected to the upper part of the aircraft scrap skin 8 through an adjustable upper adjustment rod 6.
[0027] The lower support 3 is made of three shorter square tubes welded together. The bottom is connected to the base 1 by welding. The top of the lower support 3 is connected to the lower part of the skin 8 by an adjustable lower adjustment rod 7.
[0028] The upper adjusting rod 6 consists of a square tube and a skin mounting plate. The square tube has several adjusting holes and is connected to the upper square tube connecting hole of the upper bracket 2 by a pin. The required length can be adjusted by changing the position of the holes. The skin mounting plate is connected to the other end of the square tube by welding and can be rotated up and down to adjust the required angle.
