Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric aircraft technology, specifically to a composite wing eVTOL wing-body docking structure with interchangeability and automatic alignment. Background Technology
[0002] The wing-body joint is the most important part of aircraft structural design. All the loads of the wing are transferred to the fuselage through the wing-body joint, which is a high-stress area of the aircraft and directly affects the safety of the aircraft. At the same time, the accuracy of the wing-body joint directly affects the wing attitude. The structural design of the wing-body joint requires a comprehensive consideration of structural strength, safety and assembly process.
[0003] Traditional large and medium-sized high-wing aircraft have several drawbacks due to the lack of a dedicated docking structure for the center wing to connect with the fuselage. First, because the docking point is an intersection line on the center wing structure, an additional transition structure is needed at the wing ribs, making the center wing structure complex and increasing its weight. Second, it occupies a significant amount of internal fuselage space, which is not conducive to the layout of internal systems and other specialized pipelines. Third, even without a center wing, the "back-to-back" design of the wing and fuselage makes controlling the structural positioning and assembly accuracy during wing-fuselage docking a huge workload, and may even cause misalignment of the wing-fuselage docking holes, resulting in forced assembly. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite wing eVTOL wing-body docking structure that is interchangeable and automatically aligned. It has the advantages of simple structure, simple manufacturing, and low assembly difficulty in wing-body docking. It solves the problem that controlling the positioning and assembly accuracy of the structure during wing-body docking can bring a huge workload and even affect the misalignment of the wing-body docking holes, resulting in forced assembly.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a compound wing eVTOL wing-body docking structure with interchangeability and automatic alignment, comprising a first forward transverse frame of the fuselage, both sides of which are bolted to fuselage leading edge ribs, and a second forward transverse frame of the fuselage bolted to the opposite side of the two fuselage leading edge ribs, a forward longitudinal frame of the fuselage bolted between the first and second forward transverse frames, a first aft transverse frame of the fuselage on one side of the forward longitudinal frame, both sides of which are bolted to fuselage rear edge ribs, a second aft transverse frame of the fuselage bolted to the opposite side of the two fuselage rear edge ribs, a rear longitudinal frame of the fuselage bolted between the rear edge ribs and the second aft transverse frame of the fuselage, and the second forward transverse frame of the fuselage and the fuselage...
