It should be noted that some (but not all) of the disclosed examples are shown in the drawings. In fact, many different examples can be described, and these examples should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein. Rather, these examples are described to better demonstrate the positive effects of this utility model, and all aspects not detailed herein are considered to be well-known or conventional techniques in the art.
[0019] See appendix Figs. 1-3 The present invention specifically designs a flat-tail fatigue test fixing device, including a front beam 1, a front beam upper joint 2, a front beam lower joint 3, an upper wall plate 4, an end rib 5, a rear beam 6, a rear beam upper joint 7, a rear beam lower joint 8, a lower wall plate 9, and a fixing base plate 11.
[0020] The front beam 1, upper wall panel 4, rear beam 6, lower wall panel 9, and end rib 5 form a closed box section, which is fixed to the fixed base plate 11. The closed box section has high bending stiffness and torsional stiffness. The two ends of the upper part of the front beam 1 are respectively fixed with the front beam upper connector 2 and the front beam lower connector 3. The two ends of the upper part of the rear beam 6 are respectively fixed with the rear beam upper connector 7 and the rear beam lower connector 8.
[0021] The lugs of the two front beam connectors 1 are respectively connected to the upper and lower lugs of the front beam connectors of the fuselage horizontal stabilizer, and the lugs of the two rear beam connectors are respectively connected to the upper and lower lugs of the rear beam connectors of the fuselage horizontal stabilizer. The front beam connectors 1 and rear beam connectors 2 have simple structures, high load-bearing capacity, and can be easily connected to the fuselage horizontal stabilizer connectors.
[0022] In the specific implementation process, the fixing device also includes two partitions 12, which divide the enclosed box section into three smaller box sections, further improving the torsional stiffness and stability of the box sections. The upper connector 2, lower connector 3, upper connector 7, and lower connector 8 of the front beam are machined alloy steel parts. The middle section of the rear beam 6 is also equipped with an elevator fixing connector 10.
[0023] In the specific implementation process, it also includes an arc-shaped strip plate 14, which is fixed at the contact position between the upper and lower wall panels and the fixed base plate 11. The two ends of the arc-shaped strip plate 14 are respectively clamped and fixed by the fixed joints 13. The fixed joints 13 are also used for the connection and fixation between the front beam 1 and the rear beam 6 and the fixed base plate 11. This design structure can further enhance the strength of the enclosed box section.
[0024] In the specific implementation process, in order to reduce the weight of the entire flat tail loading device structure, a weight reduction hole is opened in the middle of the fixed base plate 11 without affecting the overall strength. The weight reduction hole is located at the center of the closed box section.
[0025] In the specific implementation process, by designing the bending stiffness of the front beam 1 and the rear beam 4, and the thickness of the upper wall plate 5 and the lower wall plate 6, the stiffness and force transmission characteristics of the simulated horizontal tail loading device are made the same as those of the real horizontal tail, ensuring that the load on the horizontal tail joint and the fatigue test piece of the fuselage horizontal tail joint and the connection area is consistent with the load of the real horizontal tail loading, thus ensuring the authenticity of the fatigue test loading.
