Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of helicopter parts technology, specifically a propeller assembly device for helicopter parts production. Background Technology

[0002] Helicopters mainly consist of the airframe and three major systems: lift (including the main rotor and tail rotor), power, and transmission, as well as onboard flight equipment. The rotor is generally driven by a turboshaft engine or piston engine through a mechanical transmission system consisting of a drive shaft and reduction gear, or it can be driven by the reaction force generated by jet exhaust from the rotor tips. Helicopters are classified into conventional helicopters, tiltrotor helicopters, high-speed helicopters, and stealth helicopters.

[0003] As disclosed in CN217513279U, a propeller assembly device for helicopter parts production includes a base and a drive motor. A support frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the base, and a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame. A lead screw mounting seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame, and limit rod mounting seats are fixedly connected to both sides of the lead screw mounting seat on the surface of the mounting frame. The beneficial effects of this invention, using the above technical solution, are: rapid transport of the propeller to the assembly table, facilitating manual processing, reducing labor costs and labor intensity by eliminating the need for manual handling.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent allows for the rapid transport of propellers to the assembly table, facilitating processing, one of the characteristics of belt drives is that the difference in tension on both sides of the pulley and the elastic deformation of the belt will cause a loss of transmission speed, thus failing to guarantee an accurate transmission ratio. Therefore, the aforementioned patent cannot achieve accurate synchronous rotation of the lead screws on both sides, and consequently cannot achieve synchronous displacement of the clamping plates.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A propeller assembly device for helicopter parts production includes a hanger 1, with shaft brackets 2 on both sides of the top of the hanger 1, a drive shaft 3 movably arranged between the shaft brackets 2, movable slots 4 at the four corners of the hanger 1, a clamping mechanism inside the movable slots 4, the clamping mechanism including a swing arm 8, the swing arm 8 being movably mounted inside the movable slots 4 via a rotating shaft, a return spring 9 between the rotating shaft and the movable slots 4, and a gripper 18 at the bottom of the swing arm 8; a drive mechanism between the clamping mechanism and the drive shaft 3, the drive mechanism including a motor 6, the motor 6 being arranged outside the right shaft bracket 2, the output shaft of the motor 6 being fixedly connected to the drive shaft 3, a rotating head 7 at both ends of the drive shaft 3, a movable frame 10 fixedly mounted at the top of the swing arm 8, mounting heads 11 being arranged inside the upper end of the movable frame 10 and inside both ends of the rotating head 7, and a connecting rod 12 between the mounting heads 11;

[0026] In this embodiment, the swing arm 8 in the clamping mechanism is movably mounted in the movable groove 4 via a rotating shaft, and a return spring 9 is provided between the rotating shaft and the movable groove 4. Under the action of the driving mechanism, the gripper 18 at the bottom of the swing arm 8 can stably clamp the blade from both sides of the blade. The return spring 9 can keep the gripper 18 at a certain opening angle in the initial state, which facilitates the blade to enter between the gripper 18. When subjected to the force of the driving mechanism, the gripper 18 can accurately fit against both sides of the blade for clamping, ensuring the stability of the clamping.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pressure rod 5 is movably sleeved in the middle of the hanger 1. A lifting mechanism is provided between the drive shaft 3 and the pressure rod 5. The lifting mechanism includes a cam 13. The cam 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the drive shaft 3. A clamping rod 14 is horizontally provided at the bottom end of the pressure rod 5. A helical spring 15 is provided between the hanger 1 and the lower outer part of the pressure rod 5. Sleeves 16 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom end of the middle of the hanger 1. Guide rods 17 that match the sleeves 16 are provided at the top of both sides of the clamping rod 14.

[0028] In this embodiment, while the swing arm 8 drives the gripper 18 to clamp the blade from both sides, the cam 13 in the middle of the transmission shaft 3 will cause the pressure rod 5 to drop when the transmission shaft 3 rotates. The clamping rod 14 at the bottom of the pressure rod 5 clamps the blade from the middle of the upper end. The multi-directional clamping can accurately determine the position of the blade and prevent the blade from shifting or rotating during the transfer and assembly process.

[0029] Working principle: When assembling the propeller, this device is used to transfer the blades to the assembly table. During operation, the lifting device controls the hanger 1 to descend to the upper end of the blade and starts the motor 6. The motor 6 drives the transmission shaft 3 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 3 rotates, it drives the rotating head 7 to rotate synchronously. When the rotating head 7 rotates, it pushes the movable frame 10 through the connecting rod 12. When the movable frame 10 is pushed, the swing arm 8 at its lower end flips and drives the gripper 18 to clamp and lift the blades on both sides. When the transmission shaft 3 is driven to rotate, the cam 13 in the middle of the transmission shaft 3 will rotate synchronously. When the cam 13 rotates, it controls the pressure rod 5 to descend. When the pressure rod 5 descends, it drives the clamping rod 14 below to clamp the blade from the middle of the upper end.
