[0002] Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft (not just VTOL aircraft, but other aircraft as well as automobiles) often require the use of composite materials (not limited to carbon fiber, but also including, but not limited to, fiberglass) to form interior and exterior fuselage components. When assembling these components, drilling and rivet installation are necessary to attach connecting clips or adhesive clips. This connection method is complex; adhesive clips are prone to detachment, and drilling and rivet installation is complicated. Plastic clips are prone to cracking after installation, resulting in large dimensional deviations and requiring manual grinding for matching. The low positioning accuracy of the clips severely impacts production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0020] In the figure, the composite body layer is 100; the PUR layer is 200; the assembly layer is 300; the skeleton part is 400; the buckle part is 500; the outer skin of the fuselage is 600; and the inner skin of the fuselage is 700.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, the fuselage skin includes a composite body layer 100, wherein the composite body layer 100 is based on thermoplastic resin and pre-impregnated with carbon fiber and molded. The thermoplastic resin is one or more of PC, PEEK, or PET. The thickness of the composite body layer 100 is ≥0.2mm, especially 0.6-0.8mm. An appearance layer is formed on the outer surface of the composite body layer 100. The appearance layer is a PUR layer 200. The PUR layer 200 is injection molded on the outer surface of the composite body layer 100. The thickness of the PUR layer 200 is 0.3-0.7mm. The PUR layer 200 is a polyurethane layer, mainly using polyurethane as the raw material. When color is required, color paste is added to the polyurethane raw material. Here, the PUR layer 200 is used to replace the original painting, saving the painting and sanding processes, making the process simpler, in order to facilitate the conversion and connection.
[0022] As a further optimization, an assembly layer 300 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the composite body layer 100. The assembly layer 300 is made of plastic material, including PC or ABS or one or more plastic materials. The thickness of the assembly layer 300 is ≥0.8mm, preferably 1-1.4mm. The assembly layer 300 includes an integrally connected skeleton part 400 and a snap-fit part 500. The skeleton part 400 is connected and attached to the inner surface of the composite body layer 100, and the snap-fit part 500 extends outward from the skeleton part 400. The snap-fit part 500 here mainly serves as an assembly connection. The plastic snap-fit part 500, which is integrally formed into the assembly layer 300, will not crack and has high snap-fit precision, eliminating the original bonding and riveting steps. In addition, the skeleton part 400 also serves as a reinforcing rib for the composite body layer 100, which enhances the overall strength of the composite body layer 100. In this patent, the composite body layer 100 is first molded in the mold, and then the PUR layer 200 is injection molded. After the mold is turned, the assembly layer 300 is injection molded to form the composite body layer.
[0023] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, based on the fuselage skin of this patent, an outer fuselage skin 600 and an inner fuselage skin 700 can be formed, such as... Figure 5 As shown, when the latching part 500 of the outer fuselage skin 600 is a latch head, then the latching part 500 of the inner fuselage skin 700 is a latch slot; when the latching part 500 of the outer fuselage skin 600 is a latch slot, then the latching part 500 of the inner fuselage skin 700 is a latch head. Figure 5 As shown, the final fuselage skin assembly includes an outer fuselage skin 600 and an inner fuselage skin 700, which are assembled together by a snap-fit part 500.
[0024] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications to the described specific embodiments or adopt similar methods to replace them, but without departing from the scope defined by the spirit of this utility model.
