Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 The aircraft wing-body test fixture shown includes a base 1, which is welded together from a crossbar 11 and a vertical bar 12. A foot 13 is welded to the lower end of the vertical bar 12. A rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 11. A connecting plate 3 is provided on the rotating shaft 4. A vertical arm 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3. A connecting seat 32 is fixedly connected to the vertical arm 31. The connecting seat 32 is used to connect the aircraft wing-body test piece. The connecting seat 32 can rotate around the rotating shaft 4 to adjust the angle of the vertical arm 31. A reinforcing rib 2 is provided between the vertical arm 31 and the vertical bar 12.

[0022] Furthermore, the modular connection structure and adjustable support arm 31 structure enhance the flexibility and reliability of the test. The base 1 is welded together with the horizontal bar 11 and the vertical bar 12 and fixed with the foot 13 to ensure overall stability. At the same time, the combination of the rotating shaft 4 and the connecting plate 3 allows the support arm 31 to rotate around the shaft, which facilitates quick adjustment of the support angle and adapts to different test conditions (such as pitch and yaw load simulation). No disassembly and reassembly are required, which greatly improves efficiency.

[0023] The test piece is directly fixed to the vertical arm 31 and the connecting seat 32. Its rotation function can accurately match the wing body attitude and reduce data errors caused by support angle deviation. The reinforcing rib 2 forms a triangular support between the vertical arm 31 and the vertical rod 12, which effectively disperses load stress and avoids local deformation. The telescopic reinforcing rib 2 can further optimize the stiffness distribution and dynamically enhance the support for high stress areas.

[0024] It should be noted that the main body of the experimental fixture is welded from hollow rectangular steel pipes, which ensures the overall strength of the fixture while reducing its overall weight, making it easier for personnel to handle and operate.

[0025] During use, bolts are used to connect the wing-body assembly sample to the connecting seat 32. The bolts are fitted with a small clearance to ensure that the bolts are tightly fitted together with the wing-body assembly sample and the connecting seat 32.

[0026] Use anchor bolts 13 to fix the test fixture to the ground to ensure that it will not overturn during the test.

[0027] Specifically, a first rotating seat 14 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 12, a second rotating seat 33 is fixedly connected to the vertical arm 31, one end of the reinforcing rib 2 is hinged to the first connecting seat 32, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 2 is hinged to the second connecting seat 32.

[0028] Specifically, the reinforcing rib 2 includes a connecting rod 21 and an adjusting rod 22. There are two connecting rods 21. The two ends of the adjusting rod 22 are threaded. The two connecting rods 21 are located on both sides of the adjusting rod 22. The connecting rods 21 and the adjusting rod 22 are threadedly connected.

[0029] Furthermore, the two ends of the reinforcing rib 2 are respectively hinged to the vertical rod 12 and the upright arm 31 through the first rotating seat 14 and the second rotating seat 33, forming a flexible connection. This allows the length to be adjusted to adapt to position changes when the angle of the upright arm 31 is adjusted, thus avoiding stress concentration or structural interference caused by rigid connection.

[0030] The reinforcing rib 2 adopts a modular structure, consisting of two connecting rods 21 and a two-way threaded adjusting rod 22. By rotating the adjusting rod 22, the overall length of the reinforcing rib 2 can be precisely adjusted. This not only allows the reinforcing rib 2 to quickly adjust its support stiffness according to different test requirements, but also allows it to be adjusted to the optimal support length after the angle of the upright arm 31 changes, ensuring the effectiveness of the triangular support structure.

[0031] In addition, threaded connections can provide reliable locking force to prevent loosening during testing, while also facilitating disassembly and maintenance.

[0032] Specifically, a worm gear 5 is provided on the rotating shaft 4, and a support seat 41 is provided on the rotating shaft 4. A guide groove 42 is provided on the support seat 41. There are multiple support seats 41, and the multiple support seats 41 are symmetrically distributed.

[0033] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 4 is a long integral piece, and the worm gear 5 and the support base 41 are both semi-cylinders. They are both fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 4 by welding. The worm gear 5 is located in the middle of the connecting plate 3 and needs to be aligned with the mounting hole 52 on the connecting plate 3. Then the position of the support base 41 is installed corresponding to the connecting plate 3 and is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 3.

[0034] Specifically, the connecting plate 3 is correspondingly arranged with the rotating shaft 4, the connecting plate 3 is provided with a mounting hole 52, the connecting plate 3 is rotatably connected with the support base 41, the connecting plate 3 is provided with a limiting hole 43, and the limiting hole 43 and the guide groove 42 are fixed by screws.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting plate 3 and the support base 41 can rotate, and scales are set on the support base 41 on both sides for observing the rotation angle. At the same time, a screw is provided to pass through the lead groove 42 and be threaded to the limiting hole 43 on the connecting base 32. A thick rubber pad is fitted on the outside of the screw.

[0036] Furthermore, the connecting plate 3 is rotatably connected to the support base 41. With the help of the lead groove 42 and the limiting hole 43, it can be quickly locked and fixed at any angle by screws to ensure the stability of the support during the test. The thick rubber pad added to the outside of the screw is used to enhance the friction during locking, prevent loosening, and effectively absorb vibration, reduce micro-displacement caused by load fluctuations during the test, and improve the reliability of test data.

[0037] Specifically, a worm gear 51 is provided in the mounting hole 52, the worm gear 51 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 3, the worm gear 51 meshes with the worm wheel 5, and a rocker arm 53 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 51.

[0038] Furthermore, the worm gear 5 and worm 51 transmission have self-locking characteristics, which can automatically maintain angular stability at any position. This prevents the vertical arm 31 from shifting due to vibration or load changes during the test without the need for an additional locking device, ensuring the reliability of the support. Secondly, the rocker arm 53 facilitates the rotation of the worm 51, providing fine-tuning operations for high-precision control of the angles of the connecting plate 3 and the vertical arm 31, meeting the stringent attitude requirements of aircraft wing-body testing. In addition, the meshing transmission structure of the worm gear 5 and worm 51 is more wear-resistant than friction locking, and can maintain smooth adjustment even after long-term use.

[0039] Working principle: Then rotate the rocker arm 53, which drives the connecting plate 3 to rotate through the worm gear 5 and worm 51, thereby driving the vertical arm 31 to rotate. Adjust the angle of the vertical arm 31, and at the same time rotate the adjusting rod 22 to keep the vertical arm 31, the vertical rod 12 and the reinforcing rib 2 in a triangular state. Then, tighten the screws to fix the connecting plate 3 to the support seat 41. Finally, fix the aircraft wing body to the connecting seat 32 with bolts and conduct test operations.

[0040] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
