Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft maintenance technology, specifically to a positioning tool for assisting in the installation of a liner plate on the top of the inner wall of the fuselage. Background Technology
[0002] During the conversion of passenger aircraft into freighters, lining panels need to be installed on the top of the fuselage (i.e., the main cargo hold), and these panels are secured by lining panel brackets. On a passenger-to-freighter conversion, the top lining panel brackets need to be positioned on dozens of bulkheads. Positioning each lining panel bracket on each bulkhead individually would be an extremely tedious and time-consuming task. Therefore, a tool is needed to quickly position these lining panel brackets to improve work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning fixture for installing a liner plate on the top of the inner wall of a machine body, which can quickly position the liner plate on the top of the inner wall of the machine body, thereby effectively improving work efficiency.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following solution:
[0005] A positioning fixture for assisting in the installation of a liner on the top of the inner wall of an aircraft fuselage includes a base plate supported on the bottom surface inside the fuselage, a support rod on the base plate, and a support plate at the top of the support rod for supporting the liner. Its function is that, based on the structural characteristics of the aircraft fuselage, except for the nose and tail, the cross-section of the fuselage is of the same size, and the floor is installed horizontally inside the fuselage, meaning the top height of each bulkhead is consistent with the floor reference. Through the support rod and support plate, the liner can be supported at any top along the length of the aircraft fuselage, thereby assisting in the installation of the liner on the top of the inner wall of the fuselage.
[0006] Furthermore, the support plate includes a connecting portion for connecting with the support rod and a support portion for supporting the liner.
[0007] Furthermore, the support rod is H-beam shaped, and its flanges are provided with at least two rows of first through holes at different heights. Each row of first through holes has at least two holes symmetrically arranged around the web of the support rod. The connecting part is provided with second through holes corresponding to the first through holes. The function of these first and second through holes is to facilitate the connection between the support rod and the connecting part by using bolts passing through them. The design of multiple rows of first through holes allows for adjustment of the installation height of the connecting part on the support rod according to different fuselage heights, enabling the support plate to be used on fuselages of varying heights.
[0008] Furthermore, the support rod has first through holes on both the front and rear flanges of its web. This design, with first through holes on all flanges of the support rod, allows the connecting parts to be installed on both the front and rear sides of the support rod, facilitating use.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting part is in the shape of an I-beam, and the second through hole is provided on the flange of the support part.
[0010] Furthermore, the support portion includes a parallel section arranged parallel to the base plate and a vertical section arranged perpendicular to the base plate. The parallel section is located at the top of the vertical section, and the vertical section is connected to the connecting portion.
[0011] Furthermore, the flange of the connecting part is provided with at least two rows of third through holes, and each row of third through holes has at least two symmetrically arranged with the web of the connecting part as the boundary. The vertical section is provided with a fourth through hole corresponding to the third through holes. The height difference between any two rows of adjacent third through holes is less than the height difference between any two rows of first through holes. Its function is to facilitate the connection between the connecting part and the vertical section by using bolts passing through the first and second through holes, and to allow for fine-tuning of the installation height of the connecting part on the support rod according to different fuselage heights, enabling the support plate to be applied to fuselages of different heights.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting portion has a third through hole on both the front and rear flanges of its web. This design, with third through holes on all flanges of the connecting portion, allows the vertical section to be installed on both the front and rear sides of the connecting portion, facilitating its use.
[0013] Furthermore, an auxiliary plate is provided on the side wall of the base plate, perpendicular to both the base plate and the support rod. Its function is to enhance the base plate's support capacity for the support rod, preventing the support rod from tilting forward.
[0014] Furthermore, both the base plate and the auxiliary plate are provided with diagonal braces for connecting to the support rod. The function of these diagonal braces is to enhance the support capacity of the base plate and the auxiliary plate for the support rod.
[0015] Furthermore, each of the front and rear ends of the base plate is provided with a connecting plate, which is perpendicular to both the base plate and the support rod. The base plate is located in the middle of the connecting plate. The connecting plate has at least two connecting holes along its extension direction for connecting the connecting plate to the rail on the bottom surface of the machine body. A reinforcing crossbar connects the two connecting plates, and a reinforcing diagonal brace connects the reinforcing crossbar to the support rod. Its function is to fix the entire positioning fixture to the rail on the bottom surface of the machine body through the connecting plates and connecting holes, ensuring good stability; and to enhance the overall structural strength of the positioning fixture through the reinforcing crossbar and reinforcing diagonal brace.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. Based on the structural characteristics of the aircraft fuselage, apart from the nose and tail, the cross-section of the fuselage is the same size. The floor is installed horizontally inside the fuselage, meaning that the height of the top of each frame is consistent with the floor reference. Through the setting of support rods and support plates, the liner can be supported at any top along the length of the aircraft fuselage, thereby assisting in the installation of the liner on the top of the inner wall of the fuselage.
