[0004] The clamping fixture for outer cylinder machining proposed in the above patent documents has several drawbacks in practical use. First, the positioning operation of the outer cylinder structure is cumbersome, requiring the use of screws to install and position the fixing blocks, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, using the fixing blocks to position the outer cylinder obstructs a portion of its surface, affecting machining operations. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these issues with the landing gear positioning fixture. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A tooling for processing aircraft landing gear includes a tooling base 1, a limit support plate 2 fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the tooling base 1, an adjustment mechanism 3 disposed on the surface of the limit support plate 2, and a positioning component 4 disposed on the surface of the adjustment mechanism 3.

[0027] The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a strip guide box 301 fixedly installed on the back of the limiting support plate 2. An adjustment motor 302 is fixedly installed on the left end of the strip guide box 301. A two-way lead screw 303 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the strip guide box 301. Two adjustment blocks 304 are threadedly connected to the surface of the two-way lead screw 303. The front end of the adjustment block 304 extends to the front of the limiting support plate 2 and is fixed with a support arm 305.

[0028] It should be noted that the front end of the support arm 305 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning plate 401, and a rectangular adjustment hole 306 is provided on the surface of the limiting support plate 2. The position of the rectangular adjustment hole 306 corresponds to the adjustment block 304, and the adjustment block 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular adjustment hole 306.

[0029] It is worth noting that by setting the adjustment mechanism 3, when positioning the outer cylinder of the landing gear, the adjustment motor 302 first drives the bidirectional lead screw 303 to rotate, which in turn drives the two adjustment blocks 304 to move inside the strip guide box 301, and at the same time drives the two support arms 305 to move relative to each other. This facilitates the adjustment and positioning of the distance between the two positioning components 4 according to the transmission of the outer cylinder of the landing gear, so that the two outer cylinders are located between the two positioning components 4.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the positioning component 4 includes two positioning disks 401, and a positioning cylinder 402 is rotatably disposed on the opposite surface of each of the two positioning disks 401. A positioning screw 403 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 402, and a movable block 404 is threadedly connected to the surface of the positioning screw 403. Two strip-shaped limiting grooves 405 are formed on the surface of the positioning cylinder 402, and an extension plate 406 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the strip-shaped limiting grooves 405. Two limiting top blocks 407 are rotatably disposed at the end of the extension plate 406 away from the positioning cylinder 402.

[0031] It should be noted that the limiting top block 407 is made of rubber and is hemispherical. A movable shaft 411 is fixedly connected between the two limiting top blocks 407. The surface of the extension plate 406 is provided with a shaft hole that matches the movable shaft 411. The movable shaft 411 is inserted into the inner wall of the shaft hole, and the limiting top block 407 is rotatably connected to the surface of the extension plate 406 through the movable shaft 411.

[0032] It is worth noting that by setting a hemispherical limiting block 407, the limiting block 407 can fully contact and press against the inner wall of the outer tube of the landing gear, and the rubber material can play a certain role in anti-slip and cushioning, thereby improving the stability of the outer tube limiting.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 It should be further explained that a transmission box 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning disc 401, a transmission motor 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the transmission box 5, the output shaft of the transmission motor 6 extends into the interior of the transmission box 5 and is fixedly fitted with a transmission synchronous pulley 8, a driven shaft is fixedly fitted on the surface of the positioning cylinder 402, one end of the driven shaft extends into the interior of the transmission box 5 and is fixedly fitted with a driven synchronous pulley 7, and a transmission belt 9 is installed between the transmission synchronous pulley 8 and the driven synchronous pulley 7.

[0034] The drive motor 6 can drive the drive synchronous wheel 8 and the driven synchronous wheel 7 to rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the positioning cylinder 402 to rotate on the surface of the positioning disk 401.

[0035] It is worth noting that by setting the transmission box 5 on the surface of the positioning plate 401, the transmission motor 6 can drive the transmission synchronous wheel 8 and the driven synchronous wheel 7 to rotate, thereby driving the positioning cylinder 402 to rotate on the surface of the positioning plate 401, thus rotating and positioning the outer cylinder of the landing gear, which facilitates continuous processing of the outer cylinder surface by the staff.

[0036] It should be noted that movable support rods 410 are rotatably connected to both the upper and lower surfaces of the movable block 404, and the end of the movable support rod 410 away from the movable block 404 is rotatably connected to the surface of the extension plate 406.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning motor 408 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 402. The output shaft of the positioning motor 408 is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning screw 403. A baffle 409 is fixedly connected to the end of the positioning cylinder 402. The other end of the positioning screw 403 away from the positioning motor 408 is rotatably connected to the surface of the baffle 409. The positioning motor 408 can drive the positioning screw 403 to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the two limiting top blocks 407. This is suitable for limiting the outer cylinder of different sizes and specifications.

[0038] It is worth noting that by setting the positioning component 4, when positioning and processing the outer cylinder of the aircraft landing gear, the positioning cylinder 402 can be inserted into the two ends of the outer cylinder, and the positioning motor 408 can drive the two extension plates 406 to unfold outward. The limiting top block 407 at the end of the extension plate 406 can then press against and support the inner wall of the outer cylinder, thereby achieving clamping and fixing from the inside of the outer cylinder without obstructing the surface of the outer cylinder. This facilitates the processing of various parts of the outer cylinder surface by the workers.

[0039] Working principle: In use, the outer cylinder of the landing gear is first placed between the two positioning plates 401. Then, the adjusting motor 302 drives the two support arms 305 to move towards the middle, causing the two positioning cylinders 402 to extend into the interior of the outer cylinder. Then, the positioning motor 408 drives the positioning screw 403 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable block 404 to move laterally on the surface of the positioning screw 403. The movable block 404 then drives the two movable support rods 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper and lower extension plates 406 to unfold outward, thereby causing the limiting top block 407 to press against and limit the interior of the outer cylinder, achieving a clamping effect on the interior of the outer cylinder, making it convenient for workers to process the surface of the outer cylinder.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
