Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft exterior sealing technology, specifically an aircraft door cover sealing device. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft have numerous access panels of various shapes and sizes for installing equipment or inspecting the operation of internal systems. During installation, the access panels must be waterproofed and sealed to ensure the safety and reliability of the finished product installed inside the access panel compartment.

[0003] Currently, there are no special tools for waterproofing and sealing aircraft hatches. The existing waterproofing and sealing process is as follows: First, sealant is manually applied between the hatch and the hatch frame. Then, the hatch is installed on the hatch frame using screws and airtight bracket nuts on the hatch frame. After ensuring that the step difference between the hatch and the skin meets the technical requirements, the screws on the hatch are tightened to press the hatch onto the hatch frame, allowing the sealant between the hatch and the hatch frame to naturally vulcanize and form. Finally, the hatch is removed, and any remaining sealant on the hatch and in the holes of the airtight bracket nuts is cleaned.

[0004] However, the existing technology has the following problems: First, the sealant can easily be carried into the hole of the airtight support plate nut along with the screw. After the sealant enters the support plate nut and cures, it is not easy to clean. If it is not cleaned properly, the subsequent installation screws are likely to break through the rubber sealing sleeve at the top of the airtight support plate nut, resulting in poor waterproof sealing quality of the cap. Second, by tightening the screws on the cap to press it down, the cap has a small force-bearing area, which can easily lead to uneven curing thickness of the sealant, which will also have an adverse effect on the waterproof sealing effect of the cap. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an aircraft hatch sealing device. By pre-installing a screw with a limiting step on the airtight support plate nut on the hatch frame, it can prevent sealant from entering the airtight support plate nut hole, thereby avoiding the need to clean residual sealant in the airtight support plate nut hole. The limiting step on the screw fits against the hatch frame, which can limit the tightening length and ensure that the airtight sleeve on the airtight support plate nut is not damaged. Moreover, the limiting step can ensure that the roundness and size of the sealant around the bolt hole are uniform. With the action of tightening the nut on the outer surface of the hatch, the hatch has a large and uniform force-bearing area, which can improve the vulcanization molding quality of the sealant.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0007] An aircraft door cover sealing device includes a screw, a nut, and a quick-release connector;

[0008] The upper end of the screw is provided with a hexagonal rod; the lower end of the screw is a threaded part, which matches the airtight support plate nut on the mouth frame; a limiting step is provided at the lower position of the threaded part of the screw to limit the tightening length of the screw on the airtight support plate nut and avoid damaging the airtight sleeve on the airtight support plate nut.

[0009] The nut has a hexagonal part at the upper end and two ears at the lower end, which facilitates manual operation in the field when no special tools are available; the nut matches the threaded part at the lower end of the screw, and the nut can be screwed in from the upper end of the screw;

[0010] The quick-release connector has a hexagonal rod at its upper end; the lower end of the quick-release connector is hollow and can be fitted onto the upper end of the screw, forming a clearance fit with the screw to ensure that the quick-release connector can move flexibly up and down on the screw; the lowest end of the quick-release connector has an internal hexagonal hole that matches the hexagonal part at the upper end of the nut, and the quick-release connector can be fitted downwards onto the hexagonal part at the upper end of the nut on the screw for quickly tightening or loosening the nut.

[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the limiting step is selected according to the coating thickness requirements of the sealant to ensure that the step difference between the cap and the skin meets the technical requirements.

[0012] Furthermore, the hexagonal rod at the upper end of the screw and the hexagonal rod at the upper end of the quick-release connector are standard hexagonal rods, which facilitates operators to use pneumatic, electric and manual standard hexagonal wrenches for clamping and construction.

[0013] Furthermore, the screw, nut, and quick-release connector are made of 45# steel.

[0014] When using the above-mentioned aircraft hatch sealing device to waterproof and seal the aircraft hatch: First, select a matching screw according to the specifications of the airtight support plate nut on the hatch frame, and screw the lower end of the screw into the airtight support plate nut on the hatch frame until the limiting step fits against the hatch frame; second, evenly apply sealant to the surface of the hatch frame connected to the hatch, then insert the hatch from the upper end of the screw, and then screw the nut into the upper end of the screw. The nut and screw together press the hatch tightly onto the hatch frame, allowing the sealant between the hatch and the hatch frame to naturally vulcanize and form. Finally, clean up the excess sealant squeezed out around the hatch, remove the nut, remove the hatch, remove the screw on the hatch frame, and perform a simple cleaning of the sealing surface.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This utility model provides an aircraft hatch sealing device. By pre-installing a screw with a limiting step on the airtight support plate nut on the hatch frame, it can prevent sealant from entering the airtight support plate nut hole, thus avoiding the need to clean residual sealant in the airtight support plate nut hole. The limiting step on the screw fits against the hatch frame, which can limit the tightening length and ensure that the airtight sleeve on the airtight support plate nut is not damaged. The limiting step can also ensure that the roundness and size of the sealant around the bolt hole are uniform. With the action of tightening the nut on the outer surface of the hatch, the hatch has a large and uniform force area, which can ensure that the sealant has a uniform curing thickness and good molding quality.
