Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of special connecting tooling for testing aircraft magneto motors, and more specifically, to a special connecting tooling for testing aircraft magneto motors. Background Technology

[0002] The ignition system is a crucial component of an aircraft piston engine. The starting and operation of a piston engine require an orderly, timely, and continuous electrical spark from the ignition system. As a core component of the aircraft piston engine ignition system, the performance of the aircraft magneto directly affects the engine's operation and reliability, and consequently, flight safety. To ensure the aircraft magneto meets operational requirements, according to the aircraft maintenance manual, it must be removed for regular maintenance and testing every 500 flight hours. After maintenance, the aircraft magneto's performance must be tested on magneto testing equipment to ensure it meets airworthiness requirements. During testing, an external motor must drive the magneto at high speed, with a maximum speed of 3000 rpm.

[0003] Existing magneto testing equipment has consistently faced challenges in aligning the magneto shafts with the motor shafts during the pre-test connection process. The main difficulty lies in the inability to achieve rapid alignment every time, requiring a significant amount of time for each test. Because perfect alignment between magneto and motor shafts is difficult, flexible connecting shafts are used to address the misalignment issue. However, this method limits high-speed testing, hindering the achievement of optimal testing results. Forcing high-speed testing risks damaging the magneto, and the flexible connecting shaft may even detach during high-speed operation, causing further damage. Utility Model Content

[0012] 1. This utility model assembles the bearing housing body, drive shaft body, coupling body, drive shaft mating groove, magneto impact coupling groove, fixing pin, bearing housing fixing bolts, and magneto mounting base body through the cooperation of these components. This ensures the concentricity of the four parts, and the length of the magneto mounting base body meets the usage requirements. After the magneto is installed, the drive shaft body, coupling body, and magneto are tightly connected, effectively preventing the coupling body from detaching. This special connecting fixture for testing aerospace magneto assembles the bearing housing body, coupling body, magneto mounting base body, and magneto, ensuring concentricity for easy magneto testing.

[0013] 2. This utility model utilizes the mating groove of the magneto mounting base, the fixing bolt holes of the magneto mounting base, and the positioning pin holes to assemble the magneto using the magneto mounting base body. When assembling the magneto using the magneto mounting base body, the left end of the magneto mounting base body is first aligned with the magneto mounting base mating groove inside the bearing bracket body. The fixing bolt holes of the magneto mounting base body are then used to securely connect the magneto mounting base body and the bearing bracket body. The magneto connecting part is then assembled into the magneto mating groove, and the fixing bolt holes penetrate to limit the connection between the magneto mounting base body and the magneto connecting part. This allows for a convenient and secure connection between the magneto mounting base body and the magneto, simplifying operation and ensuring a strong connection. When installing the magneto, the positioning pin holes and positioning pins are used to fix the magneto's position and direction.

The magneto mounting base body 218 is mounted on the bearing bracket body 211 and is sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft body 212, the coupling body 213, and the magneto rotor shaft.

[0029] When using this special connection fixture for testing aviation magneto, assemble the bearing housing 211, coupling body 213, magneto mounting base 218, and magneto to ensure concentricity. The length of the magneto mounting base 218 meets the usage requirements. After the magneto is installed, the drive shaft body 212, coupling body 213, and magneto are tightly connected, effectively preventing the coupling body 213 from falling off. Furthermore, the coupling body 213 is located inside the housing of the magneto mounting base 218. Even in extreme cases where the coupling body 213 falls off, it can prevent it from flying out and causing other damage. In addition, the coupling body 213 is made of stainless steel and is a rigid connection, which effectively prevents deformation and vibration during high-speed operation.

[0030] A fixing pin 216 is inserted inside the bearing bracket body 211, and the fixing pin 216 is inserted inside the drive shaft body 212.

[0031] The function of the fixing pin 216 is to fix the transmission shaft body 212 during the installation of the coupling body 213 and the magneto, to prevent it from rotating, and to facilitate installation.

[0032] The bottom end of the bearing bracket body 211 is assembled onto the surface of the test bench via bearing bracket fixing bolts 217;
