飞机内外前襟柔性工装研究

A Novel Flexible Tool for Airplane Flap Assembly

通过对数字化柔性装配技术的深入分析,结合某型号襟翼试验件研制,设计、制造了飞机内外前襟的数字化柔性工装,并完成了该柔性工装的安装、调试。该柔性工装由7个立柱式三坐标定位单元,各定位单元均能独立运动,由定位单元联合驱动实现内外前襟试验件4个部件的柔性装配。由应用结果可知:利用该工装提高了装配质量和效率,验证了内外前襟数字化柔性工装技术可行性。该工装的成功应用为后续类似结构的工装制造提供了成功案例。

Based on the analysis of digital, flexible assembly technology, a digital control and flexible tools is proposed for airplane flap assembly. The proposed tools have seven pillar-style positioners, which can move along x, y, z directions. The seven positioners control airplane flap pose during the assemble. Engineering application shows that the proposed tools can assemble different size airplane flaps on the basis of quality assurance, and the tools improve the assembly efficiency.
