[0028] As shown in Figures 1-6, the aircraft engine cover connection structure of this embodiment includes an aircraft engine cover body 1, a connecting block 2 fixedly connected to the side surface of the aircraft engine cover body 1, a T-shaped block 4 movably connected to the side surface of the connecting block 2, a column 3 fixedly connected to the side surface of the connecting block 2, a column groove 5 provided on the side surface of the T-shaped block 4, the column 3 located inside the column groove 5, and a screw 6 threadedly connected to the upper surface of the T-shaped block 4, with the side surface of the screw 6 threadedly connected to the column 3.
[0029] After inserting the column 3 into the column groove 5, screw 6 into it to fix the column 3 and T-block 4 together, thus completing the connection between the connecting block 2 and the T-block 4. When the T-block 4 is damaged after long-term use, it can be removed and replaced.
[0030] The connecting block 2, column 3, T-block 4 and fixing seat 10 are all made of high-strength aluminum alloy. The side surface of the T-block 4 is symmetrically provided with slots 8, and the upper surface of the T-block 4 is symmetrically provided with through slots 7. The through slots 7 and slots 8 are connected and penetrate through the T-block 4. The upper surface of the aircraft engine cover body 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 24, and the side surface of the aircraft engine cover body 1 is provided with butt thickening 25.
[0031] The fixing seat 10 has a T-slot on its upper surface and a threaded hole 9 on the side surface of the T-block 4. The side surface of the T-block 4 contacts the T-slot and the inner side wall of the fixing seat 10 has an installation groove 11.
[0032] The high-strength aluminum alloy connecting block 2, column 3, T-block 4 and fixed seat 10 effectively reduce the overall weight of the aircraft while ensuring structural strength, which is conducive to improving the fuel economy and flight performance of the aircraft. When the T-block 4 is installed in the T-slot of the fixed seat 10, the through slot 7 facilitates the passage of the horizontal plate 15.
[0033] A guide post 16 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the mounting groove 11. A block 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide post 16. An inclined locking block 12 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the block 13. A vertical rod 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the block 13. A horizontal plate 15 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the vertical rod 14. The side surface of the horizontal plate 15 is movably connected to the fixing seat 10. A moving block 18 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod 14. A through hole 21 is provided on the side surface of the fixing seat 10. A strong spring 17 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the block 13.
[0034] The mounting base 10 is fixedly installed on the engine body. When the T-block 4 is installed into the mounting base 10, the moving block 18 is moved to retract the strong spring 17. The guide post 16, the horizontal plate 15, the vertical rod 14, the block 13 and the inclined locking block 12 all move into the mounting groove 11. At this time, the T-block 4 is inserted into the T-groove to achieve the initial positioning of the aircraft engine cover plate body 1 and the engine body. After the moving block 18 is released, the strong spring 17 returns to its original position, which resets the guide post 16, the horizontal plate 15, the vertical rod 14, the block 13 and the inclined locking block 12. The inclined locking block 12 is inserted into the locking groove 8, and the lower surface of the horizontal plate 15 contacts the screw 6 to restrict the position of the screw 6.
[0035] A long bolt 19 is movably connected through the side surface of the fixed seat 10. A nut 20 is threadedly connected to the side surface of the long bolt 19. A shock-absorbing damper 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the T-slot. A rubber pad 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the shock-absorbing damper 23. The upper surface of the rubber pad 22 is in contact with the T-block 4.
[0036] After the long bolts 19 are inserted into the through holes 21 of the fixing seat 10 and the threaded holes 9 of the T-block 4 in sequence, the nuts 20 are tightened to increase the connection stability. When disassembling the aircraft engine cover body 1, compared with the traditional method of connecting a large number of bolts, this utility model does not require disassembling a large number of bolts one by one, making the operation simpler and faster, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency of the aircraft and reducing downtime. The rubber pads 22 and the shock-absorbing dampers 23 work together to play a buffering role, reducing the impact of engine vibration and airflow impact on the overall connection parts.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to install the aircraft engine cover plate body 1, firstly, insert the column 3 on the connecting block 2 into the column groove 5 on the T-block 4, and use screws 6 to fix the T-block 4 and the connecting block 2 together. Then, move the moving block 18 to cause the strong spring 17 to contract, and the guide column 16, horizontal plate 15, vertical rod 14, block 13 and inclined locking block 12 will all move into the mounting groove 11. At this time, insert the T-block 4 into the fixing seat 10 installed on the engine body, so that the T-block 4 is embedded in the fixing seat 10, realizing the initial positioning of the aircraft engine cover plate body 1 and the engine body. After releasing the moving block 18, the strong spring 17 returns to its original position, so that the guide column 16, horizontal plate 15, vertical rod 14, block 16, horizontal plate 15, vertical rod 14 and inclined locking block 12 are all moved into the mounting groove 11. 3. The inclined locking block 12 is reset and inserted into the locking slot 8. The lower surface of the horizontal plate 15 contacts the screw 6, restricting the position of the screw 6. Then, the long bolt 19 is passed through the fixed seat 10 and the T-block 4, and the nut 20 is tightened. Through the tightening action of the long bolt 19 and the nut 20, the fixed seat 10 and the T-block 4 are tightly connected together. During flight, the rubber pad 22 and the shock-absorbing damper 23 work together to play a buffering role, reducing the impact of engine vibration and airflow impact on the overall connection parts. When the engine needs to be maintained and repaired, simply unscrew the nut 20, pull out the long bolt 19, and then pry the moving block 18 to remove the T-block 4 from the fixed seat 10 to quickly disassemble the aircraft engine cover body 1.
