Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] According to embodiments of the present invention, refer to the appendix. Figure 1-5A fatigue strength testing device for an aircraft blade-type thrust reverser structure is provided, comprising: a test base 1, a thrust reverser 2, a blade cascade 3, a force sensor 4, and a hydraulic cylinder 5. The thrust reverser 2 is mounted on the top of the test base 1. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is located on one side of the force sensor 4. The force sensor 4 is mounted on one side of the blade cascade 3, and the blade cascade 3 is mounted on the outside of the thrust reverser 2. A quick-change assembly 6 is installed on the side of the force sensor 4 near the hydraulic cylinder 5. The quick-change assembly 6 includes a fixing ring 61, and a limiting groove 62 is formed on the other side of the fixing ring 61. A limiting ring 63 is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 62. An installation ring 64 is installed on one side of the limiting ring 63. A fixing post 65 is installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5. The surface of one set of fixing posts 65 is threadedly connected to the inside of the installation ring 64. A movable replacement assembly 7 is provided on the top of the test base 1. The movable replacement assembly 7 includes a fixing groove 71. An electric slide rail 72 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the fixing groove 71. A slider 73 is installed at the output end of the electric slide rail 72. Several sliders 73 are provided. Several sliders 73 are arranged at equal intervals. A mounting plate 74 is installed on the top of each slider 73, and an adjustable movable shaft 75 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 74. A hydraulic cylinder 5 is located on top of the adjustable movable shaft 75. The test base 1 serves as a basic support component for mounting the thrust reverser 2. The thrust reverser 2 supports the blade cascade 3, simulating the blade cascade type thrust reverser structure of an aircraft engine. A force sensor 4 is used to monitor the force applied by the hydraulic cylinder 5 in real time. The hydraulic cylinder 5 serves as a power source to provide thrust. In the quick-change assembly 6, the retaining ring 61 and the limit... The groove 62 is matched with the limit ring 63 and the mounting ring 64 to connect the force sensor 4. The fixed column 65 and the mounting ring 64 are threaded to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5. The rotating ring 18 and the anti-slip ring 19 facilitate the manual and quick disassembly and assembly of the fixed column 65, realizing the quick connection and separation of the hydraulic cylinder 5 and the force sensor 4. In the movable replacement component 7, the electric slide rail 72 in the fixed groove 71 drives the slider 73 to move laterally. The slider 73 supports the hydraulic cylinder 5 through the mounting plate 74 and the adjustable movable shaft 75, realizing the position adjustment and switching of multiple sets of hydraulic cylinders 5.
[0031] A fixed plate 8 is installed on the top of the adjustable movable shaft 75, and a fixed box 9 is installed on the top of the fixed plate 8. An electromagnetic block 10 is installed on the inner side of the inner wall of the fixed box 9, and a spring 11 is installed on the outer side of the electromagnetic block 10. A positioning plate 12 is installed on the other end of the spring 11. The electromagnetic block 10 and the positioning plate 12 are magnetically connected. A mounting bracket 13 is provided on the outer side of the positioning plate 12. The mounting bracket 13 is installed on the outer side of the hydraulic cylinder 5. The fixed plate 8 on the top of the adjustable movable shaft 75 supports the fixed box 9. When the electromagnetic block 10 is energized, it magnetically attracts the positioning plate 12 and compresses the spring 11. When the power is off, the spring 11 returns to its original position and presses against the positioning plate 12. The outer side of the positioning plate 12 fits against the mounting bracket 13, fixing the hydraulic cylinder 5 to the top of the adjustable movable shaft 75. Through the dual action of the electromagnetic block 10 and the spring 11, the hydraulic cylinder 5 can be quickly positioned and locked during installation, which facilitates the replacement of hydraulic cylinders 5 in different positions and avoids failure caused by long-term use of a single hydraulic cylinder 5.
[0032] A positioning groove 14 is provided on the outer side of the mounting bracket 13. The surface of the positioning plate 12 is located on the inner wall of the positioning groove 14. A plug-in block 15 is slidably inserted into the outer side of the top of the positioning plate 12. The positioning groove 14 on the outer side of the mounting bracket 13 provides insertion space for the positioning plate 12. After the plug-in block 15 on the top of the positioning plate 12 is inserted into the positioning groove 14, it restricts the lateral movement of the positioning plate 12, enhances the stability of the hydraulic cylinder 5 when it is fixed, prevents the hydraulic cylinder 5 from shifting due to vibration during the test, and ensures the accuracy of the loading force. A sliding block 16 is installed on the inner side of the plug-in block 15. A sliding groove 17 is provided on the outer side of the mounting bracket 13. The surface of the sliding block 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 17. The sliding block 16 on the side is slidably connected to the sliding groove 17 on the outer side of the mounting bracket 13, providing guidance and limiting for the insertion block 15, so that the insertion block 15 can only move vertically along the sliding groove 17, avoiding the insertion block 15 from tilting and getting stuck. A rotating ring 18 is installed on the outer side of the mounting ring 64, and an anti-slip ring 19 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating ring 18. The rotating ring 18 on the outer side of the mounting ring 64 facilitates manual rotation of the mounting ring 64, and the anti-slip ring 19 increases the friction during rotation to prevent slippage, making the threaded connection between the fixing column 65 and the mounting ring 64 more convenient and efficient to disassemble and assemble, further shortening the replacement time of the hydraulic cylinder 5. A sealing plate 20 is installed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 13, and a sealing groove 21 is opened on the top of the fixing plate 8 to seal. The surface of the sealing plate 20 is movably connected to the interior of the sealing groove 21. A bellows-style protective cover 22 is installed on the outside of the slider 73. The outside of the bellows-style protective cover 22 is installed on the outside of the inner wall of the fixing groove 71. A reinforcing block 23 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 13. Several reinforcing blocks 23 are provided and are arranged at equal intervals. The inside of the reinforcing block 23 is installed on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder 5. The sealing plate 20 at the bottom of the mounting frame 13 is embedded in the sealing groove 21 at the top of the fixing plate 8 to form a physical seal, preventing dust and debris from entering the connection gap between the adjustable movable shaft 75 and the fixing plate 8. At the same time, the cooperation between the sealing plate 20 and the sealing groove 21 enhances the installation accuracy of the mounting frame 13. To improve the stability of the hydraulic cylinder 5 when it is fixed, the accordion-style protective cover 22 on the outside of the slider 73 covers the electric slide rail 72 and the slider 73 in the fixing groove 71. It moves and extends with the slider 73, isolating dust, oil and other impurities, preventing the slide rail from jamming or wearing due to contamination, extending the service life of the moving replacement component 7, and ensuring the smooth adjustment of the hydraulic cylinder 5 position. Several reinforcing blocks 23 on the inside of the mounting frame 13 are evenly distributed and fixedly connected to the outside of the hydraulic cylinder 5, enhancing the structural strength of the connection between the mounting frame 13 and the hydraulic cylinder 5, dispersing the vibration and load borne by the hydraulic cylinder 5 during the test, improving the overall vibration resistance and stability of the device, and ensuring the reliability of the fatigue strength test.
[0033] Working principle: When a single hydraulic cylinder 5 has been running for a long time and needs to be replaced or maintained, the operator can rotate the mounting ring 64 by turning the anti-slip ring 19 on the outside of the rotating ring 18. The fixing post 65 can be unscrewed by using the threaded connection between the fixing post 65 and the mounting ring 64 to complete the disassembly. Then, the electric slide rail 72 is started, which drives the several sliders 73 on its top to move. The movement of the sliders 73 can move the hydraulic cylinder 5. When another hydraulic cylinder 5 moves to the bottom of the mounting ring 64, the fixing post 65 on it can be moved into the inside of the mounting ring 64. Then, by rotating the mounting ring 64, the mounting ring 64 is threadedly connected to the fixing post 65, which can be quickly replaced and ensure the continuity of testing.
[0034] When it is necessary to disassemble, maintain or replace the hydraulic cylinder 5, first move the plug block 15 upward. The plug block 15 is moved out of the positioning plate 12 by the slider 73. Then start the electromagnetic block 10 so that the output end of the electromagnetic block 10 magnetically attracts the positioning plate 12, causing the positioning plate 12 to push the spring 11 to move inward and no longer position itself in the positioning groove 14 of the mounting bracket 13. At this time, the user can disassemble the hydraulic cylinder 5.
[0035] The sealing plate 20 at the bottom of the mounting bracket 13 is embedded in the sealing groove 21 of the fixing plate 8. At the same time, the accordion-style protective cover 22 on the outside of the slider 73 moves with the slider 73 to cover the slide rail, thereby achieving dust protection. Meanwhile, the reinforcing block 23 on the inside of the mounting bracket 13 enhances the vibration resistance of the hydraulic cylinder 5.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
