Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0040] When conducting load simulation experiments on aircraft panel structures, dedicated fixtures can only be used for panel structures of the same specification and cannot meet the testing requirements for panel structures of other shapes and specifications. When conducting experiments on panel structures of different shapes on aircraft, different fixtures need to be designed, which is costly and inefficient. To solve the above problems, this application provides a dedicated fixture for load simulation experiments on aircraft panel structures, which can be applied to panel structures of different shapes and specifications, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this application provides a special fixture for simulating the load of an aircraft panel structure, including a horizontally arranged base plate 10 and two vertically arranged support frames 20 on the base plate 10. The opposing surfaces of the two support frames 20 are respectively provided with a plurality of clamping members 30, which are used to clamp the two opposing sides of the panel structure. The clamping member 30 includes a connecting plate 320. The two opposing sides of the connecting plate 320 are respectively provided with a fixed plate 340 and a movable plate 330. The movable plate 330 moves closer to or further away from the movable plate 330 to clamp the panel structure between the fixed plate 340 and the movable plate 330. The opposing surfaces of the movable plate 330 and the fixed plate 340 are respectively provided with flexible clamping components 360. In this embodiment, a horizontally arranged base plate 10 and several clamping members 30 on two vertically arranged support frames 20 on the base plate 10 respectively clamp the two opposite sides of the wall panel structure. By fixing the support frames 20 at different positions on the base plate 10, the relative distance between the support frames 20 can be changed to adapt to wall panel structures of different widths.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the flexible clamping assembly 360 includes a plurality of first sliding grooves 364 arranged in an array. A first sliding rod 362 is slidably disposed within each first sliding groove 364. The bottoms of the first sliding rods 362 and the first sliding grooves 364 are connected by a first spring 361. A flexible block 363 is disposed at the end of the first sliding rod 362 away from the first spring 361, and the flexible block 363 is used to contact the two sides of the wall panel structure. In this embodiment, the clamping member 30 clamps both sides of the wall panel structure through a fixed plate 340 and a movable plate 330. Flexible clamping assemblies 360 are respectively disposed on the opposite surfaces of the movable plate 330 and the fixed plate 340, making it suitable for wall panel structures of different thicknesses and curvatures.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the movable structure includes: a plurality of third slide rails 321, which are disposed on the connecting plate 320; a plurality of third sliders 331, which are disposed on the movable plate 330 relative to the third slide rails 321 and slide within the corresponding third slide rails 321; a first screw 351, which is disposed within one of the third slide rails 321 and passes through and is hinged to the corresponding third slider 331; and a motor 350, which is connected to one end of the first screw 351 to drive the movable plate 330 to move so as to clamp the wall panel structure between the fixed plate 340 and the movable plate 330.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 20 has a vertically extending first slide rail 210 on the side facing the clamping member 30. The clamping member 30 slides within the first slide rail 210 via a first slider 310. Multiple corresponding fixing structures are respectively provided on the side walls 220 of the first slider 310 and the first slide rail 210 to fix the first slider 310 at different positions within the first slide rail 210. In this embodiment, the clamping member 30 can slide up and down along the support frame 20 via the first slider 310, changing the clamping position on the wall panel structure and improving the applicability of the clamp. By changing the number of clamping members 30 on the support frame 20, wall panel structures of different lengths can be clamped.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the fixing structure includes: a second slide rail 221, which is disposed on the inner side of the side wall 220 and the side of the first slider 310; a second slider 311, which is slidably disposed within the second slide rail 221 on both sides of the first slider 310; a plurality of second slide rods 314, which are disposed at the bottom of the second slide rail 221; a plurality of second slide grooves 312, which are disposed on the second slider 311 corresponding to the second slide rods 314, and the second slide rods 314 slide within the corresponding second slide grooves 312; and a plurality of second springs 313, which are sleeved on the second slide rods 314 and abut against the second slide rail 221 and the second slider 310. Between the opposite faces of 1; a second screw 230, one end of which passes through the side wall 220 and is hinged to the side wall 220; a clamping block 232, which is disposed at the inner end of the second screw 230 and placed in the second slide rail 221; a handle 231, which is disposed at the outer end of the second screw 230 and is used to drive the clamping block 232 to block the opening of the second slide rail 221 on the inner side of the side wall 220, and the second slider 311 is located in the second slide rail 221 on the side of the first slider 310, or, the clamping block 232 is driven to be placed in the second slide rail 221 on the inner side of the side wall 220, so that the second slider 311 slides into the second slide rail 221 on the inner side of the side wall 220. When using the clamp, determine the position where the clamping member 30 needs to be fixed, and unscrew the second screw 230 through the corresponding handle 231. Place the clamping block 232 at the bottom of the second slide 221 inside the side wall 220, and block the opening of the second slide 221 inside the side wall 220 with the remaining clamping blocks 232. When the first slider 310 slides in the first slide 210, the second slider 311 can slide into the corresponding second slide 221 inside the side wall 220, fixing the first slider 310 at the corresponding position of the first slide 210.
[0046] In this embodiment, the second slide rail 221 on the side of the second slider 311 and the first slider 310 is connected by a second slide groove 312, a second spring 313, and a second slide rod 314. This allows the second slider 311 to rest against the clamping block 232 during the sliding process of the first slider 310, preventing the first slider 310 from falling rapidly and causing damage. To prevent the second slider 311 from jamming during sliding, the second slider 310 has a chamfer.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first slider 310 has protrusions 315 extending outward from the opening of the first slide rail 210 on both sides. The cross-sectional shapes of the first slide rail 210 and the first slider 310 are matched to prevent the first slider 310 from falling out of the opening of the first slide rail 210.
[0048] Specifically, a receiving cavity 234 is formed inside the clamping block 232. One end of the second screw 230 passes through the clamping block 232 and extends into the receiving cavity 234. A stop block 233 is provided inside the receiving cavity 234. The stop block 233 is movably installed inside the receiving cavity 234 so as to drive the second screw 230 to rotate relative to the clamping block 232 through the handle 231.
[0049] During the installation of the wall panel structure, the relative distance between the support frame 20 and the base plate 1 is adjusted according to the dimensions of the wall panel structure. The position and quantity of the clamping components 30 are set according to specific experimental requirements and fixed using a fixing structure to complete the installation of the clamps. The wall panel structure is inserted between the fixed plate 340 and the movable plate 330, and the motor 350 is controlled to clamp the fixed plate 340 and the movable plate 330 to hold the wall panel structure. A corresponding load simulation test is then conducted on the wall panel structure, and the corresponding test results are recorded.
[0050] This application provides a special fixture for simulating loads on aircraft panel structures. It can handle panel structures of different shapes and specifications, and flexibly adjust the height, width, and thickness of the fixture to ensure the accuracy of the experiment, improve the versatility of the fixture, avoid repeated design of the fixture, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
