Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling technology, and more specifically to a positioning tooling for replacing the air intake of an aircraft vertical tail fin. Background Technology

[0002] The first spars 011 and the second spars 012 of the vertical tail 01 are located within the internal structure of the vertical tail 01. They are relatively rigid and serve as supports and connections, ensuring the stability and strength of the entire structure. The air intakes (forward air intake 013 and rear air intake 014) of the vertical tail 01 are located between the inner and outer skin panels (inner skin 015 and outer skin 016) on both sides of the lower front end of the vertical tail 01, connected by partitions at both ends. See... Figure 1-3 During aircraft repair, the inner skin 015 of the vertical tail 01 needs to be removed to replace the air intake. It is required that the position of the lower end of the air intake after replacement must be consistent with the position of the original air intake. However, the skin and baffle materials around the air intake are relatively soft and do not have sufficient rigidity for the installation and positioning of the new air intake. In addition, there is no special positioning tooling, which causes the position of the lower end of the air intake to deviate after replacement, making it impossible to dock with the fuselage.

[0003] Therefore, providing a positioning fixture for replacing the vertical tail fin air intake of an aircraft is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a positioning fixture for replacing the air intake of an aircraft vertical tail fin, ensuring accurate positioning of the replaced air intake.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a positioning fixture for replacing the air intake of an aircraft vertical tail fin, including a frame 1, a panel 2, a base plate 3, and a support arm 4. The panel 2 and the base plate 3 are installed on the frame 1 from left to right. The panel 2 has positioning holes. The support arm 4 is installed on the base plate 3 and passes through the frame 1. The support arm 4 is connected to the first beam 011 of the vertical tail fin 01 by a first bolt 5, so that the positioning holes correspond to the position of the lower end of the original air intake fin. In this embodiment, the positioning holes include a front positioning hole 21 and a rear positioning hole 22. When the support arm 4 is connected to the first beam 011, the front positioning hole 21 corresponds to the position of the lower end of the original front air intake fin, and the rear positioning hole 22 corresponds to the position of the lower end of the original rear air intake fin. This utility model can locate the position of the lower end of the original air intake fin of the aircraft vertical tail fin, assisting in replacing the air intake fin and ensuring that the position of its lower end is consistent with the original fin, without the need to hoist the vertical tail fin to the aircraft body for docking and inspection.

[0026] To further optimize the technical solution of this utility model, the panel 2 is installed on the top of the frame 1 by the second bolt 6. In this way, the panel 2 can be disassembled and replaced, and the replacement is convenient. It can be used for the replacement and positioning of the air intake pipe of different flights of the same aircraft model (since the position of the lower end of the vertical tail air intake pipe of each flight is different, after the panel 2 is copied on it, the panel 2 cannot be used for other flights. This tooling can remove the used panel 2 from the frame 1 and replace it with a new panel for other flights, thus solving the problem of different product positioning positions for different flights).

[0027] To further optimize the technical solution of this utility model, the base plate 3 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1 by the third bolt 7; the support arm 4 is installed on the base plate 3 by the fourth bolt 8, realizing a modular design, which is interchangeable and allows for frequent replacement of easily damaged parts, ensuring positioning accuracy.

[0028] Specifically, frame 1 is made of square aluminum material, which is highly stable and not easily deformed.

[0029] To further optimize the technical solution of this utility model, the frame 1 is made of square hollow aluminum material; the panel 2, base plate 3, support arm 4, first bolt 5, second bolt 6, third bolt 7 and fourth bolt 8 are all made of aluminum material. The structure is simple and lightweight, weighing no more than 15kg. It can be loaded, unloaded and transported by a single person, which improves work efficiency. Moreover, it will not damage the first beam 011 during use, solving the problem that the tooling will wear down the product when in contact with the product.

[0030] The bolt connection in this utility model refers to a connection method that uses bolts to connect two or more parts or components into a whole, usually used in conjunction with nuts.

[0031] The process of using this utility model:

[0032] The operator connects the support arm 3 to the first beam 011 of the vertical tail fin 01 using the first bolt 5. The operator then replicates the position of the lower end of the original air intake pipe on the panel 2, i.e., opens a positioning hole. When the new air intake pipe is replaced, the lower end of the new air intake pipe coincides with the replicated position on the panel 2, thus ensuring that the position of the lower end of the new air intake pipe is consistent with the position of the original pipe.
