Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aviation equipment technology and relates to a docking device for a special air conditioning vehicle for aircraft external container. Background Technology

[0002] For certain onboard parts or equipment, after disassembly, they need to be stored in a container. The container must maintain the required temperature and humidity. Existing containers cannot guarantee the required temperature and humidity. They can only open the doors for ventilation, which is inefficient and cannot meet the requirements for constant temperature and humidity. Therefore, the container needs to be equipped with a special interface for docking with an air-conditioned vehicle. Traditional containers do not have the conditions for docking with air-conditioned vehicles, resulting in the temperature and humidity inside the container not meeting the requirements, which affects the performance of the equipment. Therefore, a special air conditioning interface is designed to meet the temperature and humidity requirements inside the container. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a docking device for an air conditioning vehicle specifically designed for aircraft external containerization. It features a simple and practical structure, with a dedicated air conditioning vehicle interface that can be installed on the container. An internal sealing ring keeps it closed under normal conditions, but opens it during use to connect with the airport air conditioning vehicle system for quick dehumidification, ensuring constant temperature and humidity inside the container. This utility model offers convenient connection and operation, can be performed by a single person, and boasts high practicality, convenience, accuracy, and safety. It also reduces the safety risks associated with manually opening the container door.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A docking device for an aircraft external container air conditioning vehicle includes an air conditioning port seat 1, an air conditioning port flange 2, an air conditioning port pipe 3, an air conditioning port cover 4, and a sealing ring 5.

[0006] The air conditioning port seat 1 is an annular fixed base with several mounting holes along the circumference for fixing the entire docking device to the bulkhead of the container. Corresponding through holes are made in the bulkhead to enable communication between the inside and outside of the container.

[0007] The air conditioning inlet pipe 3 is welded to the air conditioning inlet seat 1 and the air conditioning inlet flange 2 at both ends, respectively. The air conditioning inlet pipe 3 has a downward inclination of 6 degrees along the direction from the air conditioning inlet seat 1 to the air conditioning inlet flange 2, which is used for drainage and better connection with the air-conditioned vehicle.

[0008] The air conditioning port flange 2 is designed with a mating notch according to the air conditioning vehicle interface, which is used to connect with the dedicated interface of the air conditioning vehicle to realize the connection between the cabin and the air conditioning vehicle. The end face of the air conditioning port flange 2 that mates with the dedicated interface of the air conditioning vehicle has a circular groove, and a sealing ring 5 is installed in the circular groove to achieve sealing. A limit hole is also made on the air conditioning port flange 2.

[0009] The air conditioning vent cover 4 is provided with a mating notch that matches the air conditioning vent flange 2. The two are connected by screwing on the air conditioning vent cover 4. The air conditioning vent cover 4 is used to close the air conditioning vent flange 2 when the cabin is not connected to the air conditioning vehicle. The air conditioning vent cover 4 also has a limit hole at the position corresponding to the upper limit hole of the air conditioning vent flange 2. When it is in the closed position, the limit holes of the two are aligned, and the limit pin is inserted to lock it.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a docking device for a special air conditioning vehicle for a mobile cabin. It enables quick, labor-saving, efficient, and safe docking with an air conditioning vehicle for a certain type of fighter jet, creating a sealed space within the cabin. The structure of this utility model is simple and practical. Compared to existing mobile cabins that cannot guarantee the required temperature and humidity levels and require ventilation by opening the cabin door, this design features a special air conditioning vehicle interface that can be installed on the mobile cabin. It has an internal sealing ring and is normally closed. When in use, it is opened to work with the airport air conditioning vehicle system. In the sealed state of the mobile cabin, it quickly connects to the air conditioning vehicle for dehumidification and temperature control to meet the constant temperature and humidity requirements. The air conditioning interface connection is convenient and easy to operate, offering high practicality, convenience, accuracy, and safety. It ensures that the mobile cabin remains sealed throughout the entire temperature and humidity control process, while also reducing the safety risks associated with manually opening the cabin door.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0020] A docking device for a special air conditioning vehicle for aircraft external container, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes air conditioner vent seat 1, air conditioner vent flange 2, air conditioner vent pipe 3, air conditioner vent cover 4, and sealing ring 5.

[0021] like Figure 3 The air conditioning port seat 1 is an annular fixed base with several mounting holes along the circumference for fixing the entire docking device on the bulkhead of the container. Corresponding through holes are made on the bulkhead to enable communication between the inside and outside of the container.

[0022] like Figure 5 The air conditioning inlet pipe 3 is welded to the air conditioning inlet seat 1 and the air conditioning inlet flange 2 at both ends, respectively. The air conditioning inlet pipe 3 has a downward inclination of 6 degrees along the direction from the air conditioning inlet seat 1 to the air conditioning inlet flange 2, which is used for drainage and better connection with the air-conditioned vehicle.

[0023] like Figure 4 The air conditioning port flange 2 is designed with a mating notch according to the air conditioning vehicle interface, for connecting with the dedicated interface of the air conditioning vehicle, realizing the connection between the cabin and the air conditioning vehicle. The end face of the air conditioning port flange 2 that mates with the dedicated interface of the air conditioning vehicle has a circular groove, and a sealing ring 5 is installed in the circular groove (e.g., Figure 7 ), used to achieve sealing, and a limit hole is made on the air conditioning port flange 2.

[0024] like Figure 6 The air conditioning vent cover 4 is provided with a mating notch that matches the air conditioning vent flange 2. The two are connected by screwing the air conditioning vent cover 4. The air conditioning vent cover 4 is used to close the air conditioning vent flange 2 when the cabin is not connected to the air conditioning vehicle. The air conditioning vent cover 4 also has a limit hole at the position corresponding to the upper limit hole of the air conditioning vent flange 2. When it is in the closed position, the limit holes of the two are aligned, and the limit pin is inserted to lock it.

[0025] When the cabin does not need to be connected to the air-conditioned vehicle, after aligning the air-conditioned vent cover 4 and the air-conditioned vent flange 2 with the notch, rotate the air-conditioned vent cover 4 counterclockwise until the notch is closed to complete the closing operation. Insert the limit pin into the limit hole of both to lock the air-conditioned vent cover 4. When opening, pull out the limit pin and rotate the air-conditioned vent cover 4 clockwise to open the air-conditioned vent flange 2 and connect the air-conditioned vent flange 2 to the air-conditioned vehicle interface.
