[0003] Currently, most aircraft mission pods are typically installed using a hoisting method. When the pod is equipped with a pressure-bearing shock absorber, due to the shock absorber's working method and the dimensions of the shock absorber installation structure, in most cases, the pod body must be disassembled first, then the shock absorber support plate is installed on the aircraft platform, and finally the pod body is reinstalled on the shock absorber support plate to complete the pod installation.
[0004] In addition, when the pod is relatively heavy, it is sometimes manually lifted for an extended period of time to transport it to the vicinity of the installation support before installation. This method is more complex and carries a higher risk. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0033] A specific embodiment of this utility model discloses an airborne pod mounting device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes an airborne mounting base 1 and a shock absorber unit 2. The airborne mounting base 1 is connected to the aircraft, the pod 3 is connected to the shock absorber unit 2, and the shock absorber unit 2 is connected to the airborne mounting base 1, thereby fixing the pod 3 to the aircraft.
[0034] like Figures 1-2As shown, the airborne mounting base 1 is provided with a phase groove 11 and a first fixing hole 13. There are multiple first fixing holes 13. The first fixing holes 13 are arranged along the outer edge of the phase groove 11. The shock absorber unit 2 passes through the phase groove 11 and is connected to the airborne mounting base 1 by fixing bolts passing through the first fixing holes 13.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the shock absorber unit 2 includes an upper mounting plate 21, a shock absorber mounting base 22, and a shock absorber 23. One end of the shock absorber 23 is connected to the shock absorber mounting base 22, and the other end is connected to the upper mounting plate 21. A mounting platform 311 is provided on the rotating gooseneck 31 of the pod 3. The mounting platform 311 passes through the shock absorber mounting base 22 and is connected to the upper mounting plate 21.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the shock absorber mounting base 22 includes a mounting disc 221, a pod through-slot 222, a shock absorber mounting hole 223, a support platform 224, and a second fixing hole 225. The mounting disc 221 is used to connect the shock absorber 23. The mounting disc 221 is provided with a pod through-slot 222, through which the rotating gooseneck 31 passes and connects to the upper mounting plate 21. The pod through-slot 222 provides clearance for the rotating gooseneck 31. The mounting disc 221 is also provided with multiple shock absorber mounting holes 223, through which fixing bolts pass and connect to the shock absorber 23, thereby connecting the shock absorber 23 to the mounting disc 221. Multiple support platforms 224 are provided along the outer edge of the mounting disc 221. A second fixing hole 225 is provided on the support platform 224. The second fixing hole 225 corresponds to the position of the first fixing hole 13. Thus, the support platform 224 can be connected to the airborne mounting base 1 by fasteners such as bolts and connecting them to the second fixing hole 225 and the first fixing hole 13.
[0037] It is worth noting that the external dimensions of the mounting disc 221 are larger than those of the shock absorber 23 and the upper mounting plate 21, thereby fixing the shock absorber 23 between the mounting disc 221 and the upper mounting plate 21.
[0038] It is understandable that the phase slot 11 is larger than the shock absorber mounting base 22, so that the shock absorber unit 2 can pass through the phase slot 11 and connect to the airborne mounting base 1.
[0039] When it is necessary to connect the shock absorber unit 2 to the airborne mounting base 1, the rotating gooseneck 31 is passed through the pod slot 222, and the rotating gooseneck 31 is connected to the upper mounting plate 21 via the mounting platform 311. One end of the shock absorber 23 is mounted on the mounting disc 221 through the shock absorber mounting hole 223, and the other end is fixed to the upper mounting plate 21. The shock absorber 23 achieves the effect of compression damping, thereby completing the connection between the shock absorber unit 2 and the pod 3. After the shock absorber unit 2 passes through the phase slot 11, the pod 3 is rotated so that the second fixing hole 225 aligns with the first mounting hole 13. The connection between the shock absorber unit 2 and the airborne mounting base 1 is fixed by fixing bolts passing through the second fixing hole 225 and the first mounting hole 13.
[0040] Understandably, when the shock absorber unit 2 is connected to the airborne mounting base 1, the load-bearing platform 224 bears the main load of the pod 3. Compared with the hoisting installation method, the load on the fasteners is greatly reduced, thereby avoiding the failure of the bolts from affecting the safety and stability of the pod 3 and improving the reliability of the pod 3 installation.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] A specific embodiment of this utility model discloses an aircraft, including the airborne pod installation device and the fuselage described in Embodiment 1, wherein the airborne pod installation device is connected to the fuselage.
[0043] The airborne mounting base 1 is also provided with mounting holes 12, which cooperate with the airframe to connect the airborne mounting base 1 to the airframe.
[0044] Compared with existing technologies, the airborne pod installation device of this utility model connects the shock absorber unit 2 to the airborne mounting base 1 through the phase slot 11, thereby enabling the support platform 224 to bear the main load of the pod. This significantly reduces the load on the fasteners compared to hoisting installation methods, thus preventing bolt failure from affecting the safety and stability of the pod 3 and improving the reliability of the pod 3 installation. The shock absorber 23 is fixed between the mounting plate 21 and the mounting disc 221 by setting the upper mounting plate 21 and the mounting disc 221, achieving a compression damping effect. By rotating the pod 3, the support platform 224 can overlap with the airborne mounting base 1, allowing the support platform 224 to bear the main load of the pod 3 without requiring prolonged manual lifting, simplifying operation and saving manpower.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
