Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft structure testing technology, and in particular relates to an aircraft flap test bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In aircraft design and testing, flap performance testing is a crucial step. Flaps are the movable rear section of the aircraft wing, primarily used to increase lift and improve takeoff and landing performance. Traditional flap testing methods mostly rely on simple, fixed support structures. Different flap models require different supports, resulting in limited support coverage. During testing, the relatively fixed structure of the support can lead to discrepancies between the experimental results and actual performance, reducing the significance of the testing. Therefore, a support structure capable of meeting various testing conditions is needed to support the flaps during testing. Utility Model Content

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0017] An aircraft flap testing bracket includes a base 1, a fixed base 2, a sliding base 3, two connecting discs 4, two lifting shells 6, two stepper motors 7, and multiple hydraulic rods 9. A mounting groove 11 is formed along the length of the upper surface of the base 1. The sliding base 3 is slidably inserted into the mounting groove 11. The fixed base 2 is fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the base 1 and is positioned close to one end of the mounting groove 11 along its length. Both the fixed base 2 and the sliding base 3 have a mounting cavity 31, each cavity 31 having an open top. The two lifting shells 6 are slidably inserted into the two mounting cavities 31 respectively. Hydraulic rods 9 are fixedly installed in each of the mounting cavities 31. The lifting shell 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the vertically upward telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 9. When the hydraulic rod 9 extends or shortens, it drives the lifting shell 6 to rise or fall vertically. Stepper motors 7 are fixedly installed in both of the lifting shells 6. The drive ends of the two stepper motors 7 protrude from the opposite side walls of the two lifting shells 6. Two connecting plates 4 are fixedly installed on the drive ends of the two stepper motors 7 respectively. When the two stepper motors 7 operate, they drive the two connecting plates 4 to rotate. The flap to be tested is detachably and fixedly installed between the two connecting plates 4.

[0018] The lead screw 12 and the guide rod 13 are installed in parallel in the mounting groove 11. Two transmission holes are opened on the sliding seat 3 to match the positions of the lead screw 12 and the guide rod 13. The lead screw 12 and the guide rod 13 are respectively installed in the two transmission holes. The base 1 is embedded with a drive motor. The drive motor is driven by the lead screw 12 and the guide rod 13. The operation of the drive motor causes the lead screw 12 to rotate and drives the sliding seat 3 to slide along the mounting groove 11. The guide rod 13 limits and guides the sliding seat 3. The drive connection between the lead screw 12 and the guide rod 13 and the drive motor is a technical means known to those skilled in the art at present. At the same time, the transmission connection between the lead screw 12 and the guide rod 13 and the sliding seat 3 is also a technical means known to those skilled in the art at present.

[0019] The aircraft flap test bracket also includes two cover curtains 5, both of which are embedded in the base 1. The two cover curtains 5 are located at both ends of the mounting groove 11 along its length. The two groove walls along the length of the mounting groove 11 are provided with mounting slots 14. The pull-out ends of the two cover curtains 5 pass through the two mounting slots 14 and are detachably and fixedly connected to the base of the sliding seat 3. The two cover curtains 5 are respectively installed on the slot openings of the mounting groove 11 on the front and rear sides of the sliding seat 3 along the moving direction, so that the upper surface of the base 1 remains relatively flat and avoids the flap from causing turbulence to the test airflow during the test.

[0020] The covering curtain 5 is arranged in the base 1 in a wound form. A coil spring is provided at the core of the winding of the covering curtain 5. When the sliding seat 3 is adjusted, the covering curtain 5, whose coverage area is reduced, will be rolled into the base 1 under the restoring action of the coil spring.

[0021] The aircraft flap test bracket also includes two housings 8, which are respectively fitted onto two lifting housings 6. The housings 8 are located between the lifting housings 6 and the cavity walls of the mounting cavity 31. Guide strips 32 are protruding vertically arranged on the two opposite cavity walls of the mounting cavity 31. Two guide grooves 61 are formed on the outer wall of the housing 8 to cooperate with the two guide strips 32. Guide strips 32 are protruding longitudinally arranged on the two opposite inner walls of the housing 8. Two guide grooves 61 are formed on the lifting housing 6 to cooperate with the guide strips 32 on the housing 8. Multiple guide grooves 61 are correspondingly engaged with multiple guide strips 32. The hydraulic rod 9 extends and pushes the lifting housing 6 to raise it. The guide grooves 61 and guide strips 32 cooperate with each other to achieve guidance and reduce the probability of the lifting housing 6 shaking.

[0022] A protrusion is provided at the lower end of the outer wall of the lifting shell 6. A protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 8 corresponding to the position of the first protrusion. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are intermittently connected. A third protrusion is provided at the lower end of the outer wall of the sleeve 8. A fourth protrusion is provided at the upper end of the cavity wall of the placement cavity 31 in conjunction with the third protrusion. The third protrusion and the fourth protrusion are intermittently connected.

[0023] When the hydraulic rod 9 extends, and the extended length causes the lifting shell 6 to completely detach from the mounting cavity 31 in the longitudinal direction, the first boss engages with the second boss. At this time, the sleeve 8 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 31 by the lifting shell 6 and blocked in the gap between the lifting shell 6 and the fixed seat 2 or the sliding seat 3, so that the surface of the device adjacent to the flap remains relatively flat and the formation of turbulence is reduced. When the hydraulic rod 9 extends to a certain height, the third boss engages with the fourth boss. At this time, the hydraulic rod 9 will not be able to extend further, thus preventing the sleeve 8 from being pulled out of the mounting cavity 31.

[0024] A clearance groove 21 is provided on the upper edge of the side wall corresponding to the connecting plate 4 of the sleeve 8. A clearance groove 21 is also provided on the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 31 at the corresponding position of the connecting plate 4. The clearance groove 21 is used to avoid the journal of the stepper motor 7 connected to the connecting plate 4. When the lifting shell 6 and the sleeve 8 are both inserted into the mounting cavity 31, the journal is embedded in the clearance groove 21.

[0025] Working principle: Start the drive motor to rotate the lead screw 12, causing the sliding seat 3 to move in the mounting slot 11. Adjust the distance between the sliding seat 3 and the fixed seat 2 according to the size of the flap to be tested. Detachably and fix both ends of the flap to the two connecting plates 4. The flap is then installed and can be put into the test.

[0026] During the testing process, if it is necessary to raise the position of the flap, the hydraulic rod 9 can be adjusted to extend and raise the lifting shell 6 appropriately. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the flap, the stepper motor 7 can be adjusted to rotate the connecting plate 4 at an appropriate angle.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
