[0002] Materials used in aerospace manufacturing are key substances for manufacturing aircraft, aero engines, and airborne equipment. Their performance and quality are directly related to the performance, service life, and reliability of aerospace products.
[0003] The most widely used are aluminum alloys: aluminum alloys are one of the most widely used metal materials in the aerospace industry. Due to their light weight, high strength, and good corrosion resistance, they are widely used in the manufacture of aircraft. Alternatively, titanium alloys: titanium alloys are widely used in various fields due to their high strength, good corrosion resistance, and high heat resistance.
[0004] As the most widely used material in aircraft, various types of tubing are the lifeline of aircraft and have high quality requirements. However, due to the thin walls and other characteristics of aluminum alloy tubing, there is a lack of special transportation equipment for tubing during transportation. Tubing is prone to deformation due to collisions and squeezing, resulting in dents or damage and causing problems such as substandard tubing quality. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material transportation device for aviation manufacturing. By individually fixing each pipe, the device enhances the protection of the pipes during transportation, improves transportation quality, and avoids accidents such as pipe deformation and damage.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A material transport device for aircraft manufacturing includes a base and multiple fasteners connected to the base, with the multiple fasteners installed at different positions on the base. Multiple fastener mounting holes are provided on both sides of the base, and each fastener includes a mounting plate and a multi-layer stacked fixing box connected to the mounting plate. Multiple insertion slots adapted to the diameter of the pipe are provided in each fixing box, and the insertion slots of the fixing boxes of two adjacent fasteners form a pipe fixing position.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate includes a base plate, side plates connected to both sides of the base plate, and a connecting plate disposed at the bottom of the base plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the side plate is provided with a screw insertion hole, and the size of the screw insertion hole is adapted to the stacking connection hole.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

The size of the fixing device's insertion slot is determined according to the diameter of the pipe, and the position of the fixing device on the base is adjusted according to the length of the pipe. This allows it to adapt to the transportation of aluminum alloy pipes of different sizes and lengths, making the overall structure more flexible and reliable.

[0020] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" appear to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0025] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0026] like Figures 1-2As shown, a material transport device for aircraft manufacturing includes a base 1 and multiple fasteners connected to the base 1, with the multiple fasteners installed at different positions on the base 1. Multiple fastener mounting holes 2 are provided on both sides of the base 1, and each fastener includes a mounting plate and a multi-layer stacked fixing box 5 connected to the mounting plate. Multiple insertion slots adapted to the diameter of the pipe 8 are provided in each fixing box 5, and the insertion slots of the fixing boxes 5 on the same layer of adjacent fasteners form a fixing position for the pipe 8.
[0027] Compared to existing technologies, where the transportation of tubing 8 primarily involves bundling and transporting it by vehicle, the high hardness of rigid metal tubing 8 generally prevents accidental deformation during handling. However, for aerospace tubing 8, to significantly reduce weight, many tubing 8 are made of thin-walled aluminum, which is extremely prone to deformation after impacts and compression. While traditional specialized transport vehicles can be equipped with special clamping and support mechanisms to accommodate the shape and weight of the tubing 8, their ability to adjust for tubing 8 of different sizes and lengths is poor, requiring significant time for modification. In this invention, multiple fixing devices are installed on the base 1. First, the distance between the fixing devices can be adjusted according to the length of the tubing 8 to be transported, thus providing effective fixation for the tubing 8. Second, the fixing devices are all detachable, allowing for the replacement of different sized fixing devices to accommodate tubing 8 of different diameters, and selection can be made in advance before loading, saving loading time.
[0028] Specifically, in this invention, the mounting plate includes a base plate 3, side plates 6 connected to both sides of the base plate 3, and a connecting plate 4 disposed at the bottom of the base plate 3. Multiple connecting holes are provided on the connecting plate 4, and these connecting holes are aligned with the mounting holes 2 on the sides of the base 1. By aligning the side plates 6 with the connecting holes at different positions and using the multiple fixing pins connected to the side plates 6 to fix the mounting plate, the position adjustment of the entire fixture is completed.
[0029] The base plate 3 has multiple stacking connection holes. The side plates 6 are fixed to the mounting plate by screws passing through the stacking connection holes on the base plate 3, and the fixing box 5 is fixed between two side plates 6. The top of the side plate 6 has a screw insertion hole 7, and the screw insertion hole 7 is adapted to the size of the stacking connection holes. The fixing box 5 is in a multi-layer stacked form, and the number of fixing boxes 5 can be increased or decreased according to specific needs. The fixing box 5 is fastened to the base plate 3 by screws.
[0030] In practical use, firstly, the fastener should be adjusted according to the diameter, length, and other information of the aluminum alloy tubes 8 to be transported. First, select a fastening box 5 with appropriately sized insertion slots. Then, determine the number of stacking layers of the fastening box 5 based on the quantity of tubes 8. When the quantity is small, a small number of layers can be selected; conversely, the number of insertion slots can be increased by increasing the number of stacking layers, thereby increasing the number of aluminum alloy tubes 8 that can be fixed in a single transport.
[0031] Then, adjust the fixing positions of the fasteners according to the length of the tube 8, ensuring a suitable distance between adjacent fasteners. The distance should not be too long to prevent bending of the aluminum alloy tube 8 during transportation. Secure the fasteners by inserting pins or other similar fasteners into the side plates 6 on both sides. Finally, insert the aluminum alloy tube 8 to be transported into the slot of the fastener for fixation. The overall structure is simple and easy to operate, and can be replaced according to different usage environments, making it suitable for various transportation operations.
[0032] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
