A booster and core stage rocket bundled docking system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for binding and docking a booster and a core rocket, belonging to the technical field of ground support equipment for launch vehicles. The system includes a transport vehicle, a vertical arm, a lifting adjustment device, a front support adjustment device, a rear support adjustment device and a rotary launch platform; the lower part of the rotary launch platform is fixed to the ground, and the upper part can be fixed to the bottom of the core-level rocket body , which can drive the core-level rocket body to rotate 360° around its axis; the lifting adjustment device is installed on the vertical arm and connected to the main lifting point on the booster at the same time, so as to realize the active adjustment of the position and attitude of the booster; at the same time, the front and rear The support adjustment system collects the displacement signal of the lifting adjustment device, realizes the following movement of the two support positions, and finally realizes the position and attitude adjustment of the booster. The invention realizes the reliable and rapid binding and docking of the booster and the core-level rocket body through the cooperation of the adjusting device on the booster transport erector and the rotating launch platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a docking system of a booster and a core rocket, and belongs to the technical field of ground support equipment for launch vehicles. Background technique [0002] The bundled rocket is mainly composed of a core rocket bundled with multiple boosters, which has the advantages of high thrust, high initial velocity, and low cost. [0003] At present, the common docking method of boosters and core-stage rockets in my country is as follows: the boosters are hoisted to the transport vehicles by driving in the technical area, and the transport vehicles transport the boosters to the launch area to realize the transition Operation: After entering the launch area, the tower crane or other cranes on the launch tower and the operating personnel cooperate to lift the booster from the transport vehicle, and gradually turn it from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and then the crane pushes the booster The device is lifted vertically, and ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the docking operation between domestic boosters and core-stage rockets is complex, with low standardization and automation, high skill requirements for operators, and difficulty in on-site command and coordination. Practical problems such as low efficiency, long time of occupying the launch station, and the lifting link is easily affected by wind

With the intensification of competition in the domestic and foreign launch vehicle markets, the drawbacks of the existing docking methods between boosters and core-stage rockets have gradually emerged, which can no longer meet the requirements of commercial operation
