[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] A specific embodiment of this utility model discloses an aircraft nozzle system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the assembly includes a nozzle 1, a pull rod 2, an upper connector 3, a front connecting assembly 4, and a rear connecting unit 5. One end of the pull rod 2 is connected to the nozzle 1 via the front connecting assembly 4, and the other end is connected to the frame via the upper connector 3. The nozzle 1 is connected to the frame via the rear connecting unit 5. The position of the nozzle 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the front connecting assembly 4 and the rear connecting unit 5.

[0039] There are two pull rods 2 and two upper connectors 3. One end of the upper connector 3 is fixed to the frame, and the other end is connected to the pull rod 2. The pull rod 2 connects the nozzle 1 to the frame, thereby supporting and fixing the nozzle 1.

[0040] Preferably, the pull rod 2 is symmetrically arranged about the nozzle 1, so that the nozzle 1 is kept in a balanced state.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, a rod end bearing 21 is provided on the pull rod 2. The rod end bearing 21 is connected to the pull rod 2 and can move along the pull rod 2. A locking nut 211 is provided on the rod end bearing 21. Tightening the locking nut 211 can prevent the rod end bearing 21 from moving. Figure 3 As shown, the front connecting assembly 4 includes a first front connecting member 41, which includes a semi-ring 411 and a shaft 413. The shaft 413 is provided on the semi-ring 411. The two semi-rings 411 are connected to form a ring structure and are connected to the nozzle 1. The shaft 413 is connected to the rod end bearing 21, so that the pull rod 2 is connected to the nozzle 1 through the first front connecting member 41.

[0042] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first front connector 41 also includes a rod end fixing member 414, which can fix the connection between the shaft 413 and the rod end bearing 21, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the shaft 413 and the rod end bearing 21. For example, the rod end fixing member 414 is a snap-fit.

[0043] Preferably, a rigid rubber plate is provided inside the ring structure formed by the connection of two semi-rings 411 to increase the friction between the semi-rings 411 and the nozzle 1 and prevent the semi-rings 411 from actively sliding along the nozzle 1.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the first front connector 41 also includes a top plate 412, and the front connector assembly 4 also includes a second front connector 42 and a push bolt 43. The second front connector 42 includes a ring 421 and a locking tongue 422. The ring 421 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 1, and the locking tongue 422 is inserted into the gap between the two half rings 411 to prevent the nozzle 1 from rotating. The push bolt 43 passes through the ring 421 and contacts the top plate 412. The push bolt 43 is threadedly connected to the ring 421. By adjusting the length of the ring 421 when the push bolt 43 is tightened, the push bolt 43 can push the top plate 412 to move, thereby causing the rod end bearing 21 to move along the pull rod 2 with the movement of the first front connector 41, driving the nozzle 1 to move with the pull rod 2, adjusting the pitch angle of the nozzle 1, and fixing the position of the nozzle 1 by tightening the locking nut 211.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a pin 11 is also provided on the nozzle 1. The pin 11 is connected to the outer wall of the nozzle 1 and is used to connect to the rear connection unit 5, so that the nozzle 1 is connected to the frame through the rear connection unit 5.

[0046] Preferably, the connection point between the upper connector 3 and the frame and the connection point between the rear connector 5 and the frame can form an isosceles triangle, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the nozzle 1 and the frame.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 6-7 As shown, the rear connection unit 5 includes a mounting plate 51, a lower adjusting block 52, and an upper adjusting block 53. The mounting plate 51 is fixed on the frame, the lower adjusting block 52 is connected to the mounting plate 51, and the upper adjusting block 53 is detachably connected to the lower adjusting block 52. When the upper adjusting block 53 is connected to the lower adjusting block 52, the upper adjusting block 53 and the lower adjusting block 52 cooperate to form a pin hole, and the pin shaft 11 is placed in the pin hole. The upper adjusting block 53 is located on both sides of the nozzle 1, thereby connecting the nozzle 1 to the frame through the rear connection unit 5.

[0048] For example, the upper adjusting block 53 and the lower adjusting block 52 are connected by bolts.

[0049] Preferably, boss structures are provided on both sides of the pin 11 to confine the pin 11 within the pin hole.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figures 7-8 As shown, the rear connection unit 5 also includes an adjustment component 54 and a pin component 55. The lower adjustment block 52 is connected to the mounting plate 51 through the pin component 55, and the adjustment component 54 is connected to the mounting plate 51 to adjust the position of the lower adjustment block 52.

[0051] The mounting plate 51 is provided with a movable groove 511, a counter-protrusion 512, and a positioning hole 513. There are two counter-protrusions 512. The movable groove 511 is located between the counter-protrusions 512. The pin assembly 55 includes a movable pin 551 and a fixed pin 552. The movable pin 551 is threadedly connected to the lower adjusting block 52 and passes through the lower adjusting block 52 into the movable groove 511. The fixed pin 552 is connected to the lower adjusting block 52 and passes through the lower adjusting block 52 into the positioning hole 513, so that the lower adjusting block 52 is kept fixed.

[0052] When the movable pin 551 is loosened, the movable pin 551 can move along the movable groove 511, thereby driving the nozzle 1 to move through the lower adjusting block 52. When the movable pin 551 is tightened, the movable pin 551 can be fixed in the movable groove 511, thereby fixing the position of the nozzle 1.

[0053] The adjustment assembly 54 includes a first push bolt 541 and a second push bolt 542. The first push bolt 541 and the second push bolt 542 are respectively connected to the push bosses 512 on both sides of the moving groove 511. By controlling the length of the first push bolt 541 and the second push bolt 542 screwed into the push bosses 512, the first push bolt 541 or the second push bolt 542 can push the moving pin 551 to move along the moving groove 511, thereby adjusting the direction of the nozzle 1.

[0054] The first push bolt 541 includes a first rotating head and a first threaded section. The first rotating head is connected to the first threaded section, and the first threaded section is threadedly connected to the push boss 512 on one side of the moving groove 511. The position of the first threaded section corresponds to the position of the moving pin 551. By rotating the first rotating head, the length of the first threaded section screwed into the push boss 512 can be adjusted, so that the first threaded section pushes the moving pin 551 along the moving groove 511 towards the direction closer to the second push bolt 542. The second push bolt 542 includes a second rotating head and a second threaded section. The second rotating head is connected to the second threaded section, and the second threaded section is threadedly connected to the push boss 512 on the other side of the moving groove 511. The position of the second threaded section corresponds to the position of the moving pin 551. By rotating the second rotating head, the length of the second threaded section screwed into the push boss 512 can be adjusted, so that the second threaded section pushes the moving pin 551 along the moving groove 511 towards the direction closer to the first push bolt 541. By setting the first push bolt 541 and the second push bolt 542, the mobility of the moving pin 551 along the moving groove 511 is increased, thereby increasing the flexibility of adjusting the position of the nozzle 1.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] A specific embodiment of this utility model discloses an aircraft, including a frame and the aircraft nozzle system described in Embodiment 1, wherein the aircraft nozzle system is connected to the frame. An upper connector 3 and a rear connector 5 are connected to the frame, thereby fixing the nozzle 1 to the frame.

[0057] When it is necessary to adjust the direction of the nozzle 1, loosen the locking nut 211, the moving pin 551 and the fixing pin 552, and adjust the position of the adjusting block 52 by controlling the length of the first push bolt 541 and / or the second push bolt 542 screwed into the push boss 512, thereby adjusting the direction of the nozzle 1 so that the nozzle 1 is in the center position relative to the frame. Tighten the locking nut 211, the moving pin 551 and the fixing pin 552 to fix the position of the nozzle 1.

[0058] When it is necessary to adjust the pitch angle of the nozzle 1, loosen the locking nut 211, and push the top plate 412 to move by rotating the adjusting push bolt 43. This causes the rod end bearing 21 to move along the pull rod 2 along with the first front connecting piece 41, thereby adjusting the tilt of the nozzle 1 and making the nozzle 1 horizontal.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, the aircraft nozzle system of this utility model supports and adjusts the nozzle 1 through the front connecting component 4 and the rear connecting unit 5, thereby controlling the direction and pitch angle of the nozzle 1, making the spray direction of the nozzle 1 more accurate, and improving the adaptability and accuracy of the nozzle 1 in combination with different aircraft models; the locking tongue 422 can be inserted into the gap between the two semi-rings 411 to fix the tumbling of the nozzle 1, thereby preventing the nozzle 1 from rotating and improving the stability of the structure.

[0060] The aircraft of this utility model, by adopting the aircraft nozzle system, improves the stability and adaptability of the connection between the nozzle 1 and the frame. By adjusting the direction and pitch angle of the nozzle 1, the spray direction of the nozzle 1 can be better controlled, which improves the applicability of the aircraft in scenarios such as fire fighting. It has a stable structure and is easy to operate.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
