Actuating system of sectors of a device for producing an airplane fuselage

摘要

An actuating system of sectors of a device for producing an airplane fuselage in which a lamination mandrel includes a plurality of sectors that are angularly spaced about an axis and mobile between an expanded lamination position and a contracted dissembled position. Each sector has screw-nut screw type actuating system in which a threaded element is rotated about the axis by a motor. The threaded element includes an internal shaft made of a first material extending along the axis, an external tubular portion made of a second material that is mounted axially on the shaft and constraint element arranged between the internal shaft and the external tubular portion to prevent angular displacement of the external tubular portion with respect to the internal shaft and allow a linear sliding of the external tubular portion with respect to the internal shaft.

1. An actuating device for producing an airplane fuselage, comprising:
a lamination mandrel that includes a plurality of sectors, each of the sectors including a screw-nut screw actuating system, the actuating system comprising a threaded rectilinear element extending along a radial rotational axis, a nut screw and motor, wherein said threaded rectilinear element comprises an internal shaft that is made of a first material and that extends along said radial rotational axis and an external tubular portion made of a second material that includes a first end portion and is axially mounted on a respective end portion of said internal shaft that is externally provided with threading, said first material having a dilatation coefficient that is smaller than the dilatation coefficient of the second material, wherein constraint means are provided between said internal shaft and said external tubular portion that are adaptable to prevent angular displacement of the external tubular portion with respect to the internal shaft and allow a linear sliding of the external tubular portion with respect to the internal shaft so that when a thermal stress applied to said threaded element producing a sliding of a second free end portion of the external tubular portion with respect to the internal shaft, the thermal stress produces a limited overall elongation of the threaded rectilinear element, which depends only on a reduced elongation of the first material and each of the sectors remains in an expanded lamination position following said thermal stress.
