The left runner 4 and the right runner 7 are each of a closed cross-sectional configuration providing sufficient torsion resistance to the rib.
The slide block 5 consists of a support rod, a sliding sleeve and a semicircular shell. The sliding sleeve is sleeved on the left slide way 4 and the right slide way 7, the middle part of the sliding sleeve is provided with a bulge, so that the sliding sleeve can slide on the left slide way 4, the right slide way 7 and the matched part of the left slide way 4 and the right slide way 7, the top view of the sliding sleeve after the sliding sleeve is matched is shown in the figure 4, and the section of the sliding sleeve is shown in the figure 5. One end of the supporting rod is fixed on the sliding sleeve, and the other end is fixedly connected with the semicircular shell. The pressurizing type telescopic device 3 is connected with the pressurizing valve 2 and then is respectively connected with the front end and the rear end of the wing rib through fixing pieces, as shown in figure 6.
The structure of the pressurizing type stretching device 3 mainly comprises an inner pressurizing elastomer and a reinforcing fiber net. Wherein the internal pressurizing elastomer is hollow cylindrical elastomer, and the material can be superelastic material such as rubber, latex, etc. Wherein the fiber is wound outside the elastic shell in the form of a woven mesh, and when the inside of the elastic body is pressurized, the reinforced fiber mesh limits the radial deformation of the elastic body and has stronger deformation capacity in the axial direction. The reinforcing fiber web has a plurality of pairs, each pair comprising two bundles of fibers symmetrically wound in clockwise and counterclockwise directions, respectively. The material of the fiber should be a polymer or a metal wire with a large elastic modulus. According to experience, the axial included angle between the fiber and the pressurizing type telescopic device 3 can be a value within 60-90 degrees, the larger the angle is, the stronger the axial elongation capability is, and the specific numerical value of the angle is determined according to actual conditions.
The specific assembly implementation method of the invention is as follows:
(1) The left slideway 4 and the right slideway 7 are assembled according to the figure 3, the roughness of the sliding contact surface is required to be high, and lubricating oil is used for lubricating so as to reduce the sliding friction force as much as possible.
(2) The slide block 5 is formed by a support rod, a sliding sleeve and a semicircular shell and is formed by integral machining. The height of the struts on each slide is adjusted according to the position of the slide 5 on the slide and the size of the actual airfoil. The angle of the semi-circular shell with the chord direction depends on the angle of the corresponding airfoil with the chord direction.
(3) The sliding block 5 is assembled with the slideway according to fig. 5, the roughness of the sliding contact surface is required to be high, and lubricating oil is used for lubricating, so that the sliding friction force is reduced as much as possible.
(4) The left slideway 4 and the right slideway 7 are respectively fixed on the front end 1 and the rear end 8 of the wing rib. The rib front end 1 and the rib rear end 8 are respectively connected with the wing front beam and the wing rear beam.

(6) The pressurizing type telescopic device 3 is placed on the semicircular shell, so that the driving force of the pressurizing type telescopic device 3 can be effectively transmitted to the sliding block without relative sliding. The clamp 6 with the structure similar to that of the semicircular shell is arranged on the semicircular shell for placing the pressurizing type telescopic device 3, and the clamp and the semicircular shell are fixed, so that the pressurizing type telescopic device 3 is locked, and driving force can be effectively transmitted to the sliding block.

To compensate for the height difference, a spacer is provided between the flexible skin and the rim of the clip 6.
(8) Among the front and rear beams connected to the rib, the rear beam should be a movable beam, and a slideway and a driver are provided at the root so that it can be displaced in the chord direction.
The actual extension distance of the wing rib has a large relationship with the deformation and output performance of the pressurizing type telescopic device 3, the friction factor between sliding rails, the actual bearing of the wing rib, the movable distance of the root of the rear beam and the performance of a driver.
In practical application, the deformation condition of the pressurizing type expansion device 3 can be measured through a displacement sensor to control the pressurizing and depressurizing of the pressurizing type expansion device 3 by the air pressure source. The form of the partial structure is adjusted and the pressurizing type telescopic device 3 is designed according to the actual needed deformability and bearing condition.
