Abstract

To address the issue of insufficient locking performance of the spring-cone pin structure for the folding wing control surface, a self-locking square inclined-plane pin structure was designed. Physical testing showed that the use of square inclined-plane pins in the locking mechanism can achieve repeated and reliable locking of the control surface. A theoretical predictive model for the static stiffness and frequency characteristics of the folding wing locking state was established. Through simulation and experimental testing, the prediction error of the theoretical model was below 15%.
