[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms used in the following embodiments have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains.
[0024] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes an aircraft mooring bolt, including a fixing groove 1 and a rain cover 2. The rain cover 2 covers the fixing groove 1, and the lower end of the rain cover 2 is inserted into the fixing groove 1 and detachably and sealed to the fixing groove 1. A tether ring 3 is provided in the fixing groove 1. The tether ring 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixing groove 1 by the fixing block 4 and rotates along the axial direction of the fixing groove 1. The tether ring 3 is used to connect the aircraft rope and complete the fixation of the aircraft at the other end of the aircraft rope. When it is not necessary to fix the aircraft, the rain cover 2 is covered on the fixing groove 1 to complete the sealing of the fixing groove 1, which can effectively prevent rainwater from entering and corroding the inside of the fixing groove 1 and the tether ring 3. The inner surface of the fixing groove 1 is provided with multiple through holes 11 for the lower end of the bolt 5 to pass through. When in use, the bolt 5 passes through the upper surface of the fixing groove 1 and can be fixed by the nut 6 as needed, so that the bottom of the fixing groove 1 can be fixed in the required position.
[0026] Both the fixing groove 1 and the rain cover 2 have circular outer circumferences. The outer diameter of the rain cover 2 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the fixing groove 1, so that the rain cover 2 effectively covers the fixing groove 1 and prevents rainwater from entering.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the rain cover 2 includes a covering part 21 and a sealing part 22. The bottom of the covering part 21 is connected to the sealing part 22, and the outer diameter of the covering part 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the sealing part 22.
[0028] The sealing part 22 is an elastic sealing ring. The outer diameter of the sealing part 22 is larger than the inner diameter of the fixing groove 1. The rain cover 2 is sealed to the fixing groove 1 through the sealing part 22. When the sealing part 22 enters the fixing groove 1, it is compressed and deformed before entering the fixing groove 1 and abutting against the inside of the fixing groove 1, thus completing the seal of the fixing groove 1. The sealing part 22 can be made of corrosion-resistant and tear-resistant materials such as hydrogenated nitrile rubber, which increases its service life while ensuring a seal.
[0029] The top of the cover 21 is provided with snap ring holes that can be clamped by snap ring pliers. Each snap ring hole includes two blind holes 21a with an inner diameter adapted to the snap ring pliers. There are multiple snap ring holes arranged in a circumferential array along the top of the cover 21. When inserting the sealing part 22 at the bottom of the rain cover 2 into the fixing groove 1, the rain cover 21 can be rotated to assist in the insertion of the sealing part 22. However, manual operation lacks a fulcrum and is prone to slippage. Snap ring pliers can be used to clamp the snap ring holes and tighten the rain cover 21.
[0030] The tethering ring 3 has a D-shaped ring structure, and the fixing block 4 is sleeved on the straight end of the tethering ring 3 and fixed on the upper surface of the fixing groove 1.
[0031] The number of through holes 11 is four, and the four through holes 11 are distributed in a circumferential array along the inside of the fixing groove 1, which can make the bottom of the fixing groove 1 fixed and stable.
[0032] The bolt 5 is an internal hex bolt with a thread length greater than 45mm, which can be used on carriers of different thicknesses (such as cement floors, ship decks, and transport aircraft cabins), increasing the stability after installation.
[0033] The fixing groove 1, the cover part 21, the bolt 5, and the nut 6 are all made of 304 stainless steel, which can effectively increase their corrosion resistance and service life.
[0034] like Figure 4-5 As shown, during installation, place the fixing slot 1 at the position to be fixed, and drill a hole at the lower end of the through hole 11 at the bottom connection position of the fixing slot 1. Pass the bolt 5 through the through hole 11 and the drilled hole in sequence, and fix the fixing slot 1 with the nut 6 as needed. The fixing slot 1 is then fixed at the position to be fixed.
[0035] Rotate the tether ring 3 to a horizontal position, then fasten the rain cover 2 onto the fixing groove 1, inserting its lower end into the fixing groove 1 to seal it, which can effectively prevent rainwater from entering the fixing groove 1.
[0036] When the aircraft needs to be secured, remove the rain cover 2, then rotate and lift the tether ring 3, and tie the aircraft rope to the tether ring 3.
[0037] The above technical solution only embodies the preferred technical solution of this utility model. Any changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of it embody the principle of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
