Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of comprehensive testing technology and relates to a comprehensive testing fixture for a nacelle tilting actuator. Background Technology

[0002] The nacelle tilt actuator is a core component of tiltrotor aircraft, serving as the direct execution mechanism for switching between fixed-wing and helicopter modes. Unlike traditional hydraulic actuators, the nacelle tilt actuator is more complex in structure and driving principle. Currently, integrated testing fixtures for transmission hydraulic actuators are only suitable for linear motion, while the nacelle tilt actuator involves rotational motion between 0° and 90°. Furthermore, transmission hydraulic actuators generally use a bow and stern lug connection, while the nacelle tilt actuator uses a rotating shaft connection. Therefore, traditional integrated testing fixtures for hydraulic actuators cannot meet the relevant testing requirements of the nacelle tilt actuator. To ensure the successful development of the nacelle tilt actuator, there is an urgent need for a utility model of an integrated testing fixture suitable for nacelle tilt actuators.
