[0038] The following describes the mounting process of the head cover 102 to the frame 101 and the dismounting process of the head cover 102 from the frame 101.

[0039] Installation procedure

[0040] The head cover 102 is moved towards the frame 101, the fixing post 1041 of the head cover 102 reaches the guide 1042 and slides along the guide groove 1042a in the guide 1042 to the fixing hole 1043 and is received in the fixing hole 1043. In this way, the head cover 102 and the frame 101 are assembled together at the mounting and fixing position A of the helicopter 10. Then, the second opening 1021 at the rear end of the head cover 102 is aligned with the receiving member 1052 on the frame 101, the elastic pressing post 1053 of the fixing member 1051 is pressed, the concave part of the concave-convex structure 1053a is aligned with the ball 1051e, so that when the one end of the fixing member 1051 passes through the first opening 1052b and the second opening 1021, the ball 1051e can move to the inside of the fixing member 1051, and after the one end of the fixing member 1051 enters the receiving space 1052a, the elastic pressing post 1053 is released, the elastic pressing post 1053 is reset, at this time, the convex part of the concave-convex structure 1053a is aligned with the ball 1051e, the convex part of the concave-convex structure 1053a pushes the ball 1051e outward, so that the ball protrudes from the side wall of the fixing member 1051. In this way, due to the existence of the shoulder 1052c at the first opening 1052b of the receiving member 1052, the fixing member 1051 is prevented from falling off from the receiving member 1052, and the assembly between the head cover 102 and the frame 101 at position B is achieved.

[0041] Removal procedure

[0042] Firstly, the head cover 102 and the frame 101 are separated at position B, and then the head cover 102 and the frame 101 are separated at position A, the process is as follows: at position B, the elastic pressing post 1053 of the fixing member 1051 is pressed, the concave part of the concave-convex structure 1053a is aligned with the ball 1051e, the fixing member 1051 is pulled out of the receiving member 1052 and is simultaneously dismounted from the second opening 1021 of the head cover 102; then, at position A, the fixing post 1041 is lifted, the fixing post 1041 is moved out of the fixing hole 1043 and is moved away from the frame 101 along the guide groove 1042a. In this way, the dismounting of the head cover 102 and the frame 101 is achieved.

[0043] In summary, since the head cover assembly positioning structure 104 is adopted, when the head cover 102 is assembled to the rack 101, the guide groove 1042a on the guide piece 1042 is flared, so that the head cover 102 and the rack 101 do not need to be aligned, the assembly is simple, and since the fixed column 1041 and the fixed hole 1043 are loosely matched, when disassembled, the fixed column 104 is only slightly lifted to be away from the fixed hole 1043. Therefore, even if the head cover 101 is frequently disassembled and assembled, the strength of the head cover 101 will not be affected, and the head cover 102 will not have the risk of cracking.

[0044] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, which is made by using the content of the present application specification and drawings, is also included in the patent protection range of the present application.
