AI Technical Summary
In aircraft fuel tank compartments, protruding structures are prone to wear on soft fuel tanks, especially when subjected to oil pressure loads during flight, leading to severe wear. Existing technologies are unable to effectively solve this problem.
Lightweight foam strips are used to fill the cross section of the T-shaped profile to form a semi-circular structure, which is then fixed with bolts and bonded with sealant to eliminate the wear effect of protruding parts on the soft fuel tank.
It effectively protects the soft fuel tank, reduces wear, lowers weight and cost, and takes up little space.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of aviation technology, and particularly relates to a protrusion-preventing structure for an oil tank cabin. BACKGROUND
[0002] For an aircraft oil tank cabin provided with a soft oil tank, protrusion structures are encountered in structural arrangement, such as a frame behind which is the oil tank cabin, and in front of which are system pipelines and operating devices, etc. The longitudinal and transverse stiffeners cannot be arranged and can only be arranged in the oil tank cabin area behind the frame. The protrusion structures are prone to wear the soft oil tank, especially under the oil pressure load in flight, and are extremely prone to wear by extrusion with the protrusion structures. How to eliminate the influence of the protrusion structures is a difficult problem in the structural design of the oil tank cabin. The protrusion structures are smoothly transitioned by laying light foams, so that the soft oil tank in the oil tank cabin is not worn by the protrusion structures, and the weight is light and the cost is low. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the application provides a protrusion-preventing structure for an oil tank cabin, comprising:
[0004] a frame plate (3) forming a wall surface of the oil tank cabin, a T-shaped section (6) fixedly installed on the inner side of the frame plate (3), a foam strip (1) in a sector cross section, and a soft oil tank (2);
[0005] The foam strip (1) is arranged on both sides of the T-shaped section (6), so that the cross section of the T-shaped section (6) is filled to be semicircular.
[0006] The wall surface of the soft oil tank (2) is attached to the inner surface of the frame plate (3) and the arc surface formed by the T-shaped section (6) and the foam strip (1).
[0007] Preferably, the T-shaped section (6) comprises a rim plate and a vertical plate located at the middle of the rim plate, a plurality of through holes are formed in the rim plate on both sides of the vertical plate, the frame plate (3) has through holes corresponding to the through holes of the rim plate, and a bolt (4) passes through the through holes of the rim plate and the frame plate (3) to fix the T-shaped section (6).
[0008] Preferably, the length of the vertical plate of the T-shaped section (6) is half the width of the rim plate.
[0009] Preferably, the two end surfaces of the rim plate are bonded to the soft oil tank (2) by a sealing glue (5).
[0010] The protrusion part of the oil tank cabin is prone to wear the soft oil tank. The protrusion part is smoothly rounded by the light foams, so that the soft oil tank is installed, the weight is reduced, the space occupied is small, and the cost is low. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
