Abstract

See full text

A tube support structure for an aircraft includes: a parallel movement mechanism configured to support the tube movably in parallel; and an angle adjustment mechanism configured to support the tube angle-adjustably. The parallel movement mechanism includes: an eccentric sleeve, through which the tube passes, configured to adjust a position of the tube in a Z direction perpendicular to the X direction, and a Y direction adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the eccentric sleeve in a Y direction perpendicular to the X direction and the Z direction. The angle adjustment mechanism includes: a first member configured to have a first curved surface and support the tube, and a second member configured to have a second curved surface with a shape corresponding to the first curved surface, have contact slidably with the first curved surface at the second curved surface, and support the first member by the second curved surface. Each of the first curved surface and the second curved surface is formed such that a cross-sectional shape in an XZ plane is a circular arc shape, and an angle of the tube is adjusted by sliding the first curved surface with respect to the second curved surface. Thus, a tube support structure for aircraft, which can suppress a preload, is provided.
