Description

Wing diaphragm transport container Aircraft

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to the field of transport containers for wing manufacturing parts of aircraft

The object of the invention consists of a configurable container according to need, adapted for transport of aircraft wing manufacturing parts.

Background of the invention

In an aircraft there are different parts that are assembled during its construction, between those parts we find the diaphragms that are the members of the structure of the wing, which shape the profile and transmit the lining load to the stringers. Its functions also include distributing the loads to the stringers, stabilize the wing against tensions, close the cells, maintain the spacing of the stringers, provide attachment points to other components (train of landing) and form containment barriers in tanks fuel.

Each diaphragm consists of an upper nerve, a lower nerve and a soul (if it is metallic it is usually stamped) which provides rigidity due to vertical and diagonal deformations. It is clear that the diaphragms are an essential part of the structure of the wings of an airplane.

All these pieces mentioned above, at like the rest of the pieces that make up the structure of a aircraft must be handled with extreme care as security of the plane once in service depends largely on the state of the pieces from which it has been built, especially sensitive are the pieces that make up the wings, given the length of the same, these are especially sensitive to be damaged during its transport and handling.

These parts need to be transported from efficient and careful way so that they are not damaged during your transfer, as well as during the time they are in the Inside the containers. Transport so efficient you must ensure the distribution of the pieces in the shortest time possible and in such a way that the transported parts are in perfect state.

Description of the invention

The container object of the invention is Designed for the transport of aircraft parts, more specifically for the transport of aircraft wing diaphragms.

The container object of the invention allows the safe transport of these parts since it allows loading and unloading them without the pieces being damaged that these pieces fit into guides and supports that are trimmed with rubber supports that prevent the pieces from damage when supported; so that the pieces always rest on said supports during their transport.

The container has a prismatic structure hollow of vain rods where its upper face is arranged a U-shaped closing frame that is tiltable with respect to of the structure that would define the body of the container by pivoting joints that allow the reduction of the frame by its ends.

It should be noted that the closing frame comprises a pair of safety locks defined by some locks of pin that anchor the closing frame to the structure, preventing the movement of the first and therefore maintaining the diaphragms in a position suitable for transport or storage.

The loading is done in such a way that the diaphragms are inserted into vertical supports and supports horizontal, finding both types of supports aligned so that the diaphragm, once inserted, is in a position vertical.

The object of the invention incorporates a small prismatic compartment that can be covered by a cover and that is arranged in the lower part of the face later.

Finally the container object of the invention allows in turn to transport the necessary parts in a single truck for the construction of the necessary parts to build the wings of an entire plane, this is achieved by distribution of the pieces in several containers whose volume is calculated so that a certain number of containers occupy the volume Total of a truck.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to an example preferred practical implementation of it, is accompanied as integral part of that description, a set of drawings where with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of the container object of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of the container object of the invention where the detail of the flip closure.

Figure 3.- Shows a detail of the closures of the fetter.

Figure 4.- Shows a detail of the drawer assistant.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures, a then a preferred embodiment of the container (1) object of this invention.

In a preferred embodiment to start the process of loading aircraft diaphragms first proceed to remove canvases [not shown in the figure] leaving the container (1) as shown in figure 1, for later go on to release some pins (7) that once released allow to lift a closing frame (3) by means of a handle (9) to lower said closing frame (3) with respect to joints (8) that allow the pivotal movement of the closing frame (3) with respect to some side bars that define an upper face of a structure (2).

Then proceed to insert frontally, slightly elevated, each of the diaphragms of such that they are respectively supported and housed in vertical supports (4) and pairs of horizontal supports (5) both formed by elastic bodies of polymeric material preferably soft; U-shaped in the case of braces vertical (4) and drawer-shaped open on its upper face in the case of horizontal supports (5), meeting the latter arranged in opposite pairs. Finally the diaphragms remain subject at the top by auxiliary supports also formed of elastic material located inside the closing frame (3) so that all supports (4, 5) are find aligned so that the diaphragms, once inserted into said supports (4, 5), remain in an upright position.

In another preferred embodiment of the object of the invention auxiliary items or documentation can be stored in a drawer (10) located at the bottom of the back face of the structure (2), which in turn can be covered by a cover (11).

In an even more preferred embodiment the container (1) can also have skates (13) located in its lower part and in contact with the ground that allow the handling by forklifts or systems Similar.
