Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aviation equipment debugging technology, specifically relating to an aircraft aileron control disc angle measuring device. Background Technology
[0002] Ailerons, located at the left and right ends of the wing, are used to control the aircraft's turning, also known as roll. When turning, one aileron rises to increase drag and lower the wing, while the other aileron lowers to reduce lift and increase power, thus guiding the aircraft to turn.
[0003] During the adjustment of the aircraft ailerons, it is necessary to ensure that the angle of rotation of the control wheel to the left and right is consistent, that is, to ensure that the left and right wings deflect upward or downward at the same angle. If the aileron control wheel angle is not adjusted properly, it will cause malfunctions when the aircraft rolls to the left or right during actual flight.
[0004] When adjusting the aileron control wheel angle of a conventional aircraft, a conversion angle method is used. The specific method is as follows: First, a thin string is wrapped around the neck of the control wheel, marked, and then the length of the wrap is measured to calculate the length of the string corresponding to each degree. Then, the string is wrapped around the neck of the control wheel in the original position, and the control wheel is rotated to a certain angle. Markings are made on the control wheel where the markings correspond to the string, the string is unfolded, and the distance from the marked point to the end of the string is measured. Combining this with the length of the string corresponding to each degree, the angle of rotation of the control wheel is calculated. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, cannot quickly and accurately obtain the rotation angle of the control wheel, and has low measurement accuracy and efficiency, often resulting in rework and affecting the aircraft delivery schedule and quality.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] Reference Figures 1-2 The aileron control disc 1 is connected to one end of the neck 2 with a clearance fit, while the other end of the neck 2 is fixedly connected to the control column 3. During aileron adjustments, the rotation angle of the control disc is often measured using a linear conversion method, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to large errors.
[0018] To quickly and accurately determine the rotation angle of the aileron control wheel, this utility model provides an aircraft aileron control wheel angle measuring device. The angle measuring device includes an angle measuring ruler 4, a bushing 6, and a fastening assembly. The angle measuring ruler 4 is an open ring with two perforated lugs symmetrically arranged at the open end. The bushing 6 is clamped between the two lugs. The fastening assembly fixes the angle measuring ruler and the bushing 6 to the neck 2. The inner wall of the angle measuring ruler is in close contact with the outer wall of the neck. Circumferential graduation lines are opened on the outer wall of the angle measuring ruler 4, and the zero graduation line of the angle measuring ruler is marked in the middle of the bushing 6. Zero graduation lines are provided on the outer wall of the middle part of the control wheel 1 and the outer wall of the neck 2. The zero graduation line in the middle of the bushing 6 and the zero graduation line on the neck are on the same straight line. When the control wheel is in the reference position, the zero graduation line on the outer wall of the middle part of the control wheel 1 is aligned with the zero graduation line on the neck.
[0019] By rotating the steering wheel, the operator can directly determine the rotation angle of the steering wheel by measuring the scale line on the ruler 4 corresponding to the zero mark on the steering wheel 1, which improves measurement efficiency and accuracy.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 The angle measuring ruler 4 has an open ring structure with symmetrically arranged perforated lugs at the open end for mounting fastening bolts 5. The angle measuring ruler is fitted onto the outer wall of the neck 2 and connected by a fastening assembly. The outer wall of the angle measuring ruler 4 has circumferential graduations.
[0021] Reference Figure 2 The fastening assembly includes fastening bolts 5 and wing nuts 8. The bushing 6 is located between the plate-like structures at the opening of the angle measuring ruler 4 and is fastened to the angle measuring ruler 4 by fastening bolts 5 and wing nuts 8. The wing nuts 8 ensure that the angle measuring ruler 4 fits tightly against the neck 2.
[0022] The liner 6 is cylindrical with a central hole along its axis for mounting the fastening bolt 5. A protrusion 7 is located in the middle of the outer wall of the liner, positioned at the zero mark on the angle measuring scale, facilitating quick alignment with the zero mark on the neck. Furthermore, the protrusion is annular. A second zero mark 10 is engraved on the outer wall of the neck 2, and a first zero mark 9 is engraved on the outer wall of the center of the steering wheel 1. The protrusion 7 is aligned with the first zero mark 9 and the second zero mark 10.
[0023] During testing, first, place the angle measuring ruler 4 on the neck 2, place the liner 6 in the middle of the angle measuring ruler 4, and fasten the angle measuring ruler and the liner to the neck 2 with the fastening bolt 5 and the wing nut 8, and align the protrusion 7 on the liner 6 with the first zero mark line 10 of the neck 2.
[0024] Align the first zero mark 9 on the steering wheel 1 with the second zero mark 10 on the neck 2, rotate the steering wheel 1 to any angle, and observe the specific scale on the angle measuring ruler corresponding to the first zero mark 9. You can then directly and accurately read the steering wheel rotation angle.
