[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0025] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless explicitly defined and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] The present embodiment provides an aero-engine air inlet passage plug cover, specifically as shown in Figures 1-4 , comprising:

[0028] The fixing part is mounted on the outer wall of the end part of the air inlet passage 11.

[0029] The plugging part is used for plugging the inner wall of the end part of the air inlet passage 11.

[0030] The connecting part is used for connecting the fixing part and the plugging part, the fixing part provides support force for the plugging part through the connecting part, and ensures that the plugging part will not move in the inner wall of the air inlet passage 11.

[0031] The fixing part comprises a fixing ring 106, and the fixing ring 106 is in interference connection with the air inlet passage 11; the plugging part comprises a plugging cloth 104 and a supporting ring 105, the plugging cloth 104 is connected to the supporting ring 105, and the supporting ring 105 is in interference connection with the air inlet passage 11; the connecting part comprises a lip cloth 103, and the lip cloth 103 is connected with the fixing ring 106 and the supporting ring 105 respectively. The cloth is selected to be waterproof and wear-resistant, and canvas subjected to waterproof treatment is selected in the present embodiment.

[0032] In use, first set up the ladder, the staff carrying the device along the ladder to the airway near, and then put the support ring 105 into the air inlet 11, at this time the support ring 105 cooperates with the blocking cloth 104 to achieve the blocking of the air inlet 11; Then the staff sets the fixed ring 106 on the outer wall of the air inlet 11, when the outside wind blows to the blocking cloth 104, the support ring 105 is pushed into the air inlet 11 by the force, at this time the force is transmitted to the fixed ring 106 through the lip cloth 103, because there is also a moving resistance between the fixed ring 106 and the air inlet 11, so as to strengthen the stability of the support ring 105, prevent the support ring 105 from rotating along the radial direction or translating along the air inlet 11 axis; At the same time, since no metal parts are used, the air inlet 11 can be prevented from being scratched, and the entire device can also be lightened.

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] This embodiment further extends the connecting part on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-3 The connecting part further comprises a fixed ring cloth 101 and a support ring cloth 107, the fixed ring cloth 101 covers the fixed ring 106, and the support ring cloth 107 covers the support ring 105.

[0035] By setting the fixed ring cloth 101 and the support ring cloth 107, the lip cloth 103 can be connected with the fixed ring cloth 101 and the support ring cloth 107 by sewing, which strengthens the connection strength of the lip cloth 103 with the support ring 105 and the fixed ring 106, and also strengthens the connection strength of the support ring 105 and the blocking cloth 104, without damaging the body of the support ring 105 and the fixed ring 106; At the same time, after the fixed ring cloth 101 and the support ring cloth 107 cover the fixed ring 106 and the support ring 105, the aging speed of the support ring 105 and the fixed ring 106 can be slowed down, and the service life can be prolonged.

[0036] Further, the lip cloth 103 is in the shape of a circular ring, the outer circumference of the circular ring is connected with the fixed ring cloth 101, and the inner circumference of the circular ring is connected with the support ring cloth 107. The circular ring-shaped arrangement of the lip cloth 103 makes it impossible for impurities in the outside world to stay between the gap between the air inlet 11 and the support ring 105, once the impurities fall on the blocking cloth 104 and the support ring 105, they will naturally slide down along the lip cloth 103 under the influence of gravity, and the impurities cannot be accumulated.

[0037] Further, the connecting part further comprises a separation pull ring 102, which is arranged on the support ring cloth 107.

[0038] During installation, ensure that the release ring 102 is at a high point. When it needs to be removed, there is no need to set up a ladder. Simply hook the release ring 102 and pull it. At this time, the release ring 102 is subjected to a downward pulling force, which allows the support ring 105 and the fixing ring 106 to be smoothly removed from the air intake 11, simplifying the disassembly process and improving work efficiency.

[0039] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] This embodiment further extends the above embodiment, wherein both the support ring 105 and the fixing ring 106 are made of elastic materials. Specifically, the support ring 105 is made of EVA foam, and the fixing ring 106 is made of rubber. The elastic fixing ring 106 can be fitted onto the air intake duct 11, providing a stable force for the support ring 105; the elastic support ring 105 ensures that it can completely conform to the inner wall of the air intake duct 11, guaranteeing a sealing effect.

[0042] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0043] Example 4:

[0044] This embodiment further extends the above embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sections of the support ring 105 and the fixing ring 106 are both circular. The circular cross-sections make it easier to sew the fixing ring cover 101 and the support ring cover 107 without needing to fix points, and also result in a higher degree of fit between the fixing ring cover 101 and the support ring cover 107 and the fixing ring 106 and the support ring 105.

[0045] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
