Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft technology, and more specifically, to a horizontal support device for aircraft components. Background Technology

[0002] The aviation parts manufacturing industry mainly refers to the manufacturing of various parts and components for aircraft, including the manufacturing of aircraft fuselage components, aero-engine parts, instruments, airborne equipment, hydraulic systems and accessories, etc., but does not include parts assembly, aero-engine final assembly and complete aircraft assembly. When manufacturing aircraft parts, horizontal support is required for the parts.

[0003] In existing technologies, the operating tables for processing some aircraft parts are not easy to level and support, which can lead to increased flatness errors in the processed parts and affect the assembly accuracy of the parts. If the verticality of the operating table is insufficient, the processed holes, guide rails, etc. will not meet the design requirements, affecting the interchangeability and functionality of the parts. An uneven operating table requires frequent equipment adjustments or repositioning, wasting a lot of time. At the same time, the position of the clamping components is not convenient for installation and position adjustment, which increases the assembly time for manual adjustment and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5A horizontal support device for aircraft components includes a support platform 1 and a support plate 2. The support plate 2 has a ball head 3 at its bottom, a ball sleeve 4 on the support platform 1, a support rod 5 at the bottom of the ball head 3, a plumb bob 6 at the bottom of the support rod 5, and multiple support bolts 7 on the support platform 1. The support plate 2 has symmetrically arranged moving grooves 8, and a moving block 9 is slidably arranged on the moving grooves 8. The moving block 9 has a connecting device and a clamping frame 10. The connecting device includes a connecting block 11, which is set on the moving block 9. A snap-fit ​​block 12 is rotatably arranged on the connecting block 11. A limiting groove 13 is provided on the snap-fit ​​block 12, and a limiting plate 14 is slidably arranged on the limiting groove 13. Limiting rods 15 are symmetrically arranged on the limiting plate 14. A limiting hole 16 that cooperates with the limiting rod 15 is provided on the connecting block 11. Multiple balls 17 are rotatably arranged on the side wall of the ball sleeve 4. Fastening bolts 18 are symmetrically threaded on the ball sleeve 4. A support screw 19 is provided on the support rod 5, and the support rod 5 is threadedly connected to the ball head 3 through the support screw 19.

[0030] In this embodiment, during the leveling of the support plate 2, the plumb bob 6 and the support rod 5 are mounted on the ball head 3 via the support screw 19, causing the ball head 3 to rotate within the ball sleeve 4. The ball bearing 17 improves the ease of rotation, adjusting the level of the support plate 2. After adjustment, the support height of the support bolt 7 is adjusted to ensure the support plate 2 is at a horizontal level. The relative positions of the ball sleeve 4 and the ball head 3 are fixed by the fastening bolt 18. The clamping frame 10 is mounted on the moving block 9 and sleeved on the connecting block 11. At this time, the limiting spring 26 is in a compressed state, and the rotation is engaged. When the limiting rod 15 on the snap-fit ​​block 12 is aligned with the limiting hole 16 of the connecting block 11, the limiting plate 14, under the elastic force of the limiting spring 26, drives the limiting rod 15 into the limiting hole 16, fixing the position of the snap-fit ​​block 12. The position of the clamping frame 10 is fixed by the snap-fit ​​block 12. When disassembling the clamping frame 10, pull the limiting handle 27 upward. The limiting handle 27 drives the limiting plate 14 to compress the limiting spring 26, causing the limiting rod 15 to leave the limiting hole 16. Rotate the snap-fit ​​block 12. When the snap-fit ​​block 12 is aligned with the connecting block 11, the clamping frame 10 can be disassembled.

[0031] Please see Figures 3-4 As one embodiment of the clamping frame 10: a moving screw 20 is rotatably provided in the moving groove 8, a moving motor 21 is provided at one end of the moving screw 20, the moving screw 20 is threadedly connected to the moving block 9, clamping cylinders 22 are symmetrically provided on the clamping frame 10, a clamping plate 23 is provided at the output end of the clamping cylinder 22, a clamping block 24 is provided on the clamping plate 23, a clamping groove 25 is provided on the clamping frame 10, a limiting spring 26 is provided between the limiting plate 14 and the limiting groove 13, and a limiting handle 27 is provided at one end of the limiting plate 14.

[0032] More specifically, when clamping aircraft parts, the moving motor 21 is started, which drives the moving screw 20 to rotate, thereby causing the moving block 9 to move in opposite directions within the moving groove 8, adjusting the position of the clamping frame 10, and activating the clamping cylinder 22. The clamping cylinder 22 drives the clamping plate 23 to clamp and fix the parts. Through the cooperation of the clamping block 24 and the clamping groove 25, the movement direction of the clamping plate 23 is restricted, improving the practicality of the clamping plate 23.

[0033] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When leveling the support plate 2, the plumb bob 6 and support rod 5 are installed on the ball head 3 via the support screw 19, causing the ball head 3 to rotate within the ball sleeve 4. The ball bearing 17 improves the ease of rotation, adjusting the level of the support plate 2. After adjustment, the support height of the support bolt 7 is adjusted to ensure the support plate 2 is at a horizontal level. The relative positions of the ball sleeve 4 and ball head 3 are fixed by the fastening bolt 18. The clamping frame 10 is then installed on the moving block 9, and the clamping frame 10 is fitted onto the connecting block 11. At this time, the limit spring 26 is in a compressed state. Rotate the locking block 12. When the limiting rod 15 on the locking block 12 is aligned with the limiting hole 16 of the connecting block 11, the limiting plate 14, under the elastic force of the limiting spring 26, drives the limiting rod 15 into the limiting hole 16, fixing the position of the locking block 12. The position of the clamping frame 10 is fixed by the locking block 12. When disassembling the clamping frame 10, pull the limiting handle 27 upward. The limiting handle 27 drives the limiting plate 14 to compress the limiting spring 26, causing the limiting rod 15 to leave the limiting hole 16. Rotate the locking block 12. When the locking block 12 is aligned with the connecting block 11, the clamping frame 10 can be disassembled.

[0034] When clamping aircraft parts, the moving motor 21 is started, which drives the moving screw 20 to rotate, thereby causing the moving block 9 to move in opposite directions within the moving groove 8. The position of the clamping frame 10 is adjusted, and the clamping cylinder 22 is started. The clamping cylinder 22 drives the clamping plate 23 to clamp and fix the parts. Through the cooperation of the clamping block 24 and the clamping groove 25, the movement direction of the clamping plate 23 is restricted, which improves the practicality of the clamping plate 23.
