Definitions
- the present invention relates to an aircraft control surface adjusting device, particularly fiaps, capable of improving positioning and maintaining a better correlation of these control surfaces on aircraft wings.
- the invention further relates to a method of regulating control surfaces in aircraft, particularly flaps, using the adjustment device.
- Regulating aircraft control surfaces involves adjusting and displacing moving surfaces used in flight controls that are attached to aircraft main surfaces, such as, for example, ailerons and flaps that are attached to wings, elevators. which are associated with the horizontal stabilizers and the rudder that is associated with the vertical stabilizers.
- the currently known adjustment process consists in optimizing these control surfaces in relation to the wing structure using assemblies that are usually mounted in the lower wing region. , for example, the tracks.
- a flap positioning gauging device with holes is used for their attachment to the tracks and a graduated scale for reading necessary for flap positioning on the wing. This adjustment positions the flap with a tolerance within ⁇ 4.5mm, and the incidence angle values of the wing are computed.
- US 5,564,655 performs flap adjustment via a device that uses tracks as a reference. It was noted, however, that in this known regulation used in this document there is the effect of tolerance stacking that is not considered in the process, resulting in imprecision in the regulation and causing the flaps not to be in a position satisfactory to the needs of some aircraft. In this case, the solution proposed in US 5,584,655, in addition to the aforementioned disadvantages, also provides for increased regulation execution time and proposes the use of a difficult-to-handle device due to its large weight and size.
- the present invention aims to provide an aircraft control surface adjusting device capable of improving positioning and maintaining a better correlation of these control surfaces on aircraft wings.

- aircraft control surface regulator 40 object 50 of this invention, comprises a structural body 20 attached to the aircraft structure, preferably attached to the wing 50 of the aircraft. and uses this wing extractor 50 as a reference because it is a reference that has better dimensional stability than the tracks used as a reference by prior art devices.
- This structural body 20 is narrow and elongated, formed by a base 201 disposed at a first end 22 and a regulating assembly 30 disposed at a second end 23 which is longitudinally opposed to the first end 22.
- the base 201 is fixed to the aircraft structure, more precisely to the wing 50 of the aircraft by means of at least one fastening element 21 and preferably a pair of fastening elements 21 consisting of robust suction cups ensuring a fastening. regulation device reliability 10.
- the second end 23 of the structural body 20 is positioned next to the control surfaces 40 and, consequently, the regulating assembly 30 which is disposed at the second end.
- 23 of the structural body 20 is also positioned next to the control surfaces 40 which will have their positions adjusted relative to the aircraft wing.

- the regulating assembly 30 also comprises at least one reference ruler 32 disposed adjacent to at least comparator clock 31 and It is positionable between a start position 321 and an end position 322 so that the reference ruler 32 is cooperative with the control surface 40 when it is positioned at the start position 321.
- the positioning of the comparator clock 31 in the first measurement position 311 is concomitant with the positioning of at least one reference ruler 32 in the initial position 321, while the positioning of the comparator clock 31 in the second positioning position is also concomitant. 312 with positioning of reference ruler 32 at end position 322.
- the first measurement position 311 consists of a semicircle shaped recess 331 with a perpendicular hole 332 disposed in the center of the recess 331. Hole 332 receives the stem 341 of the dial indicator 31 while the semicircle shaped recess 331 provides a precise and fixed seating of the case 342 of the comparator clock 31. This semicircle recess 331 is made at the second end 23 of the structural body 20.
- This zero clock position is a design-determined position and means that it is the ideal value for setting the control surface or flap 40.
- the reference ruler 32 in the procedure of gauging the comparator clock 31 and determining the zero position of the clock, the reference ruler 32 is positioned at the start position 321 (figure 5a) and the reference ruler 32 therein.
- the position has the function of providing the approach of flap 40 in the zero position of the clock, in order to facilitate the activity in the measurement operation. This is because the reference ruler 32 is intended to perform a visual approximation to the operator, that is, the zero position of the clock is the same as the zero position of the ruler.
- the flap 40 is approached in this way to ensure a closer approach as the travel of dial indicator 31 is short.
- the reference ruler 32 is fixed at end position 322 as shown in Figure 5b.
- Reference strip 32 is positioned adjacent dial indicator 31, next to the second end 23 of structural body 20.
- Initial position 321 of reference strip 32 consists of a first through hole 362 coincident with a non-through hole (not shown) disposed at second end 23, whereby a screw 361 is inserted into first through hole 362 and non-through hole (not shown) to secure reference strip 32 to starting position 321 shown in figure 5a.
- the end position 322 of the reference ruler 32 consists of a second through hole 363 which also coincides with the non-through hole (not shown) disposed at the second end 23 when the reference ruler 32 is moved upwards linearly, as illustrated in figure 5b. In this position, screw 361 is inserted into the second through hole 363 and the non-through hole (not shown) to secure the reference ruler 32 to end position 322.
- the comparator clock 31 is positioned at the second positioning position 312, when then the comparator clock 31 is cooperative with the control surface 40.
- Positioning position 312 consists of a slot 372 made in a flat portion 373 of the second end 23. Perpendicular to that slot is a through hole 374 which receives the rod 341 of the dial indicator 31.
- a set screw 400 The arrangement of the side wall 375 of the second end 23 has the function of compressing the slit by fixing the dial 31 of the dial 31 so as not to interfere with the measurement of the dial 31.
- flap 40 For adjusting the control surface or flap 40 relative to the wing 50 extractor of the aircraft, flap 40, which has already been approached from wing 50, touches the tip 348 of dial indicator 31 and is offset and adjusted by compressing the tip 348 to cause dial indicator 31 to set the clock zero position. When dial indicator 31 returns to the zero position of the clock, flap 40 is in the ideal design position relative to wing extractor 50 and its adjustment is optimized and accurate.
