[0002] The skin is the main structure of the aircraft fuselage and widely uses composite materials. Composite materials have a variety of superior properties, including high specific strength, high specific modulus, good fatigue resistance, excellent high temperature performance, good shock absorption and good fracture safety. The skin mainly transmits tensile, compressive and shear loads. Existing skins are not only complex in structure and heavy in weight, but also have low overall strength and complex molding process.

[0015] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the second type of reinforcement structure for the inner panel of the fuselage skin. Detailed Implementation
[0016] 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.
[0017] In the figure, the outer skin layer is 100; the connecting part is 200; the inner panel reinforcement layer is 300; and the cavity is 400.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the fuselage skin inner panel reinforcement structure includes an outer skin layer 100, a connecting part 200, and an inner panel reinforcement layer 300. The outer skin layer 100 is made of composite material, including thermosetting composite material or thermoplastic composite material. The resin matrix of the composite material can be plastic, glass, or ceramic, and the fiber of the composite material can be carbon fiber or glass fiber. In aircraft, carbon fiber is preferred. The inner panel reinforcement layer 300 can also be made of thermosetting composite material, thermoplastic composite material, plastic, or metal material. In this embodiment, composite material is preferred. To increase the strength of the entire fuselage skin, the inner panel has a cavity 400, such as... Figure 2As shown, the outer skin panel 100 and the inner panel reinforcement layer 300 are connected as a whole and simultaneously placed into the molding die. The cavity 400 is formed in the die using internal high-pressure molding. Internal high-pressure molding uses liquid or gas to deform the material by controlling the pressure, thereby forming the cavity 400. One or two molds can be selected during molding. The outer skin panel 100 and the inner panel reinforcement layer 300 are connected as a whole by the connecting part 200, and the cavity 400 is located between the outer skin panel 100 and the inner panel reinforcement layer 300. In order to ensure the reliability of the connection, the connecting part 200 between the outer skin panel 100 and the inner panel reinforcement layer 300 is formed by bonding, hot melting or chemical fusion. Here, before the internal high-pressure molding of the inner panel reinforcement layer 300, the connecting part 200 is used to make the outer skin panel 100 and the inner panel reinforcement layer 300 fuse together, thereby preventing leakage during internal high-pressure molding.
[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer skin layer 100 and the inner panel reinforcement layer 300 in the fuselage skin inner panel reinforcement structure are processed separately. The inner panel reinforcement layer 300 is formed separately to create a cavity 400. In this embodiment, the outer skin layer 100 and the inner panel reinforcement layer 300 are connected by welding, screwing, or snap-fitting to form a connection part 200, such as laser welding, vibration friction welding, etc. The connection part 200 is used to connect the outer skin layer 100 to the inner panel layer 100 as a whole, which not only reduces the weight but also greatly increases the product strength and rigidity. Moreover, the overall process is simple, low in cost, high in efficiency, and has mass production capability.
[0020] 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.
