Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aircraft pneumatic control valve assembly, and particularly relates to a jacking fixing device for assisting in assembling an aircraft pneumatic control valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aircraft pneumatic control valves are commonly used in air conditioning, anti-icing, and air induction systems of various aircraft models to achieve pneumatic control or even system control functions. Most aircraft pneumatic control valves use air path control and spring actuation to regulate their functions.

[0003] Aircraft pneumatic control valves generally have valve springs installed in their structures. During the assembly of aircraft pneumatic control valves, the valve springs need to be compressed. Figure 2 A part of an aircraft pneumatic control valve is shown in the figure, which includes a conical bracket 10, a connecting column 12, and a valve spring 11. The lower edge of the bracket 10 has a flange 10.1, and the upper end has a mounting hole. The lower end of the connecting column 12 has two positioning connection holes 12.1.

A large enough jacking block is placed below, and the lower end of the connecting column 12 is jacked against the jacking block. One person presses the bracket 10 downward with both hands to compress the valve spring 11, and the connecting column 12 is inserted upward until it is compressed to the correct position and maintains a stable pressure. Then, the other person gradually installs the remaining parts above the bracket 10 and partially fixes them to the connecting column 12. After the installation of the remaining parts above the bracket 10 is completed, the pressure on the bracket 10 is released.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned assembly process of the valve spring part of an aircraft pneumatic control valve has the following problems:
