Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation life-saving equipment technology, and in particular to a beacon machine fastening device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, rescue beacon machines are typically installed in vehicles such as helicopters. The traditional installation method involves first fixing a pre-set bracket to the helicopter's mounting point or a designated installation location using bolts or other fasteners, and then fixing the beacon machine main unit to the bracket using bolts or other fasteners.

[0003] Currently, when installing beacon units vertically or at a specific angle, operators often need to use one hand or an auxiliary tool to lift the beacon unit and align it with the mounting holes on the bracket. Simultaneously, with the other hand or assistance from another person, while maintaining precise alignment between the beacon unit and the bracket holes, the operator must continuously press the unit firmly against the bracket. Then, at least two bolts are inserted one by one into the aligned holes and tightened before releasing the pressure on the unit. This method of fastening is cumbersome, time-consuming, and requires a high level of operator skill and physical strength, especially inside confined spaces, where the difficulty is even greater and may affect installation efficiency and quality. Therefore, a fastening device is needed that simplifies the beacon unit installation process, shortens installation time, and reduces operational difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a beacon machine fastening device to solve the technical problems of the cumbersome, time-consuming, and skill-intensive installation process of lifesaving beacons.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A beacon fastening device for securing a beacon to a helicopter, comprising: A bracket for securing the helicopter to the aircraft and having at least one corner; The bracket has at least one screw hole at the corner, which corresponds to a preset hole on the beacon unit; and Corner clips are installed at the corners of the bracket; Corner buckles include: A conical disk with a second through hole in the center, which is coaxial with the preset hole and screw hole of the beacon when the beacon is installed in place; A bending stop, disposed on the side of the corner, extends outward relative to the bracket, forming a blocking part for laterally limiting the corner of the beacon machine; and The connecting part connects the outward extension of the bending stop to the conical disc, so that a gap is formed between the conical disc and the surface of the support. The connecting part is elastic, and the conical disc can be operated to deflect at a certain angle relative to the surface of the bracket, so as to allow the beacon to be placed into the bracket and limited by the bending stop, and can be reset after release to press the beacon cover onto the bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the bracket has multiple first through holes, which allow fasteners to pass through to secure the bracket to the helicopter.

[0007] Preferably, the surface of the conical disk in the reset state is parallel to the surface of the support at the corner.

[0008] Preferably, the bending stop is L-shaped, with one side of the bending stop fixed to the corner side of the bracket, and the other side extending outward to form a blocking part.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting part is an elastic sheet.

[0010] Preferably, the elasticity of the connecting part allows the conical disc to be pulled and held in the deflected position until released by the operator.

[0011] Preferably, the screw hole, the preset hole position of the beacon machine, and the second through hole form an overlapping area after the conical disk is reset, allowing the bolt to pass through and be screwed into the screw hole.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses a conical disc with elastic connection and a bending block with lateral limiting. The operator only needs to pull the conical disc open to a certain angle to easily put the beacon machine housing into the bracket and be initially limited by the bending block. After the conical disc is released, it automatically resets and covers the beacon machine housing, and at the same time, the holes are automatically aligned. The whole process does not require continuous manual pressing and alignment of the holes, which greatly simplifies the operation steps and significantly shortens the installation time.

[0013] 2. Traditional installation methods require two hands or multiple people to work together, and the alignment of the holes is crucial. This invention allows for convenient operation by a single person. The tapered disc's reset function assists in automatically aligning the holes, reducing reliance on operator skill and precision.

[0014] 3. The bending stop provides effective lateral pre-positioning, and the tapered disc provides downward pre-pressure after resetting, ensuring the stable posture of the beacon housing before the final bolt tightening, avoiding shaking or displacement of the beacon housing during installation, thereby improving the reliability and convenience of installation.

[0016] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example 1 This embodiment proposes a beacon machine fastening device, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the beacon fastening device is used to fix the beacon 100 to a vehicle such as a helicopter. The fastening device mainly includes a bracket 1 and four corner buckles 3.

[0020] The bracket 1 is typically made of sheet metal through stamping, bending, or machining, and possesses a certain structural strength. The bracket 1 has multiple first through holes 2 for inserting bolts or screws, thus firmly fixing the entire bracket 1 to a pre-set attachment point or installation position on the carrier (such as a helicopter). The main structure of the bracket 1 is designed according to the shape and installation requirements of the beacon 100, and typically forms at least one corner. In this embodiment, the bracket 1 has four corners, which are used to fit the corresponding corner portions of the beacon 100. Screw holes 4 are provided at the corners of the bracket 1, and the position and specifications of these screw holes 4 are adapted to the pre-set installation holes on the beacon 100.

[0021] The corner buckle 3 is installed at the corner of the bracket 1. The corner buckle 3 is a key component for achieving quick positioning and convenient fastening. It includes a conical disc 31, a bending stop 33 and a connecting part 7.

[0022] The conical disc 31 is a conical disc structure that is large enough to cover a portion of the area around the preset hole of the beacon machine 100. A second through hole 32 is provided in the center of the conical disc 31. The diameter of the second through hole 32 is slightly larger than the diameter of the shank of the bolt used for final tightening so that the bolt can pass through smoothly.

[0023] The bending stop 33 is integrally formed or fixedly connected to the side of the corner of the bracket 1. The bending stop 33 is usually made of bent metal sheet and is L-shaped or approximately L-shaped. One side of it is fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket 1, while the other side extends outward perpendicularly or approximately perpendicularly relative to the surface of the bracket 1. This outwardly extending part constitutes a blocking part that laterally limits the corner of the beacon 100. When the beacon 100 is placed in the bracket 1, the side of its corner will be blocked by this blocking part of the bending stop 33, thereby restricting the horizontal movement of the beacon 100.

[0024] The connecting part 7 connects the outward extension of the bending stop 33 to the conical disk 31. The design of the connecting part 7 means that the conical disk 31 is not directly fixed to the bracket 1, but is suspended on the bending stop 33 through the connecting part 7, thereby forming a gap space between the bottom surface of the conical disk 31 and the surface of the bracket 1 to accommodate the thickness of the beacon machine 100 (this thickness specifically refers to the thickness of the beacon machine 100 edge strip).

[0025] The connecting part 7 itself is elastic. The connecting part 7 can be a piece of elastic metal sheet. This elasticity allows the conical disk 31 to overcome the elastic force of the connecting part 7 and be pulled upward or to the side by the operator, thereby deflecting at a certain angle relative to the surface of the support 1, so as to increase the gap between the conical disk 31 and the surface of the support 1, making it easier for the beacon machine 100 to be inserted.

[0026] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: First, use bolts to pass through the first through hole 2 on the bracket 1 to secure the bracket 1 to the designated installation position on the vehicle (such as a helicopter).

[0027] The operator grasps the conical disc 31 with their hand and pulls it upward or to the side. Due to the elasticity of the connecting part 7, the conical disc 31 will be pulled to a certain angle, so that the gap between the conical disc 31 and the surface of the bracket 1 is large enough to accommodate the placement of the beacon machine 100. The elasticity of the connecting part 7 should be designed to keep the conical disc 31 in the pulled-out position, so that the operator can free up their hands to carry out the next operation.

[0028] When the beacon 100 is placed in the preset position on the bracket 1, the corner side of the beacon 100 will naturally come into contact with the outward extension of the bending block 33 during the placement process, thereby being limited by the bending block 33 in the lateral direction to prevent it from moving.

[0029] After the beacon 100 is placed in place, the operator releases the conical disc 31. At this time, the elastic restoring force of the connecting part 7 will cause the conical disc 31 to automatically reset and return to its initial position. After resetting, the conical disc 31 acts like a cover plate, pressing the corresponding part of the beacon 100 onto the surface of the bracket 1, thus achieving the initial pre-fixation and positioning of the beacon 100 in the vertical direction.

[0030] After the conical disc 31 is reset, due to the precise positioning of the bending stop 33 and the pressing effect of the conical disc 31, the preset hole on the beacon 100 will automatically align with the screw hole 4 on the bracket 1 and the second through hole 32 on the conical disc 31, forming an overlapping area for the bolt to pass through. At this time, the operator only needs to pass a bolt through the second through hole 32 on the conical disc 31 and the preset hole on the beacon 100, and then screw it into the screw hole 4 on the bracket 1 and tighten it to complete the final fixation of the beacon 100 and the bracket 1.

[0031] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0032] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
