Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to explosion shock wave testing technology, in particular to a nuclear explosion shock wave simulation system. Background Art

[0002] The blast wave simulator, a test device that uses chemical explosions to generate shock waves, is a specialized test device used to study the dynamic response of surface and underground engineering structures to explosive loads. As a loading method for blast wave tests, the blast wave simulator offers advantages such as a single mechanical parameter, good repeatability, simple operation, and a short test time.

[0003] Existing blast wave simulators often have a single simulation target due to limitations in technical research and equipment construction. However, in reality, the number of simulated targets that can produce explosive effects is vast, and the effects vary greatly, making a single device unable to meet all technical requirements. The design of blast wave simulators involves two key aspects: energy loading method and controlled release technology. Based on their intended use, they can be categorized into three main applications: nuclear weapon blast wave simulation, conventional weapon blast wave simulation, and complex wave simulation. Nuclear weapon blast waves are characterized by long positive pressure durations, with low requirements for peak overpressure. The primary objective is to achieve the desired impulse. Conventional weapon blast waves are characterized by durations of tens of milliseconds, but with higher peak overpressure requirements of several or even tens of megapascals. The goal is to achieve high peak overpressure under load. Complex waves are targeted at complex explosion environments, where the shock wave exhibits peak and temporal uncertainty along its propagation path.

[0004] Existing blast wave simulators, regardless of their design, can only reflect one or two indicators of the simulated shock wave, making it difficult to fully meet these requirements. Therefore, achieving comprehensive laboratory simulation capabilities for blast wave loading requires the development of a full range of test equipment. However, the blast waves generated by nuclear weapon blast wave simulators possess enormous energy, encompassing the vast majority of blast waves from weapon detonations, accidental explosions, and other sources. Therefore, theoretically, it is possible to develop a nuclear blast wave simulation system that also simulates conventional weapon blast waves. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a nuclear explosion shock wave simulation system, which takes the simulation of nuclear weapon explosion shock waves as the basic means, utilizes the current conventional explosion to directly adopt the conditions of group charge explosion, and can realize the simulation of complex waves through corresponding control means, while taking into account the simulation of conventional weapon explosion shock waves. Therefore, the nuclear explosion shock wave simulation system of the present invention can cover the explosion wave simulation needs of various explosion sources such as the vast majority of weapon explosions and accidental explosions.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A nuclear explosion shock wave simulation system includes: a sub-explosion chamber assembly, a main explosion chamber, and a diaphragm installation section; the sub-explosion chamber assembly, the main explosion chamber, and the diaphragm installation section are connected in sequence from left to right;

[0008] The main explosion chamber includes a first explosion chamber, a first reducing tube, a second explosion chamber, a second reducing tube and a third explosion chamber connected in sequence from left to right; the first explosion chamber, the second explosion chamber and the third explosion chamber are all circular straight tube structures, the first explosion chamber, the second explosion chamber and the third explosion chamber are coaxial, and the inner diameter of the first explosion chamber is larger than that of the second explosion chamber, and the inner diameter of the second explosion chamber is larger than that of the third explosion chamber;

[0009] The sub-explosion chamber combination includes a plurality of sub-explosion chambers arranged side by side in an upper and lower array, each of the sub-explosion chambers is a circular straight tubular structure, and the axis direction of each sub-explosion chamber is parallel to the main explosion chamber;

[0010] The sub-explosive chamber combination is connected to the first blasting chamber of the main blasting chamber through a manifold; the manifold is a tubular structure with a closed steel plate at the right end, and an array of through holes corresponding to the sub-explosive chamber combination is provided on the closed steel plate. The right ends of the multiple sub-explosive chambers are respectively connected to the corresponding through holes, and each sub-explosive chamber is welded to the closed steel plate of the manifold;

[0011] The diaphragm mounting section is connected to the right end of the third explosion chamber;

[0012] The sub-explosion chamber combination has a first charging area, the first explosion chamber has a second charging area, the second explosion chamber has a third charging area, and the third explosion chamber has a fourth charging area. The four charging areas can be charged at the same time to meet the simulation of nuclear explosion shock waves. Single area charging or Less than three Regional combined charges provide multiple explosion shock wave simulations.

[0013] The diaphragm mounting section consists of a third reducer, a diaphragm and a fourth reducer. The left end of the third reducer is connected to the third explosion chamber, and the right end is connected to the fourth reducer through a diaphragm mounting flange. The right end of the fourth reducer is connected to the external test section. The diaphragm is located between the third reducer and the fourth reducer and is fixedly covered on the diaphragm mounting flange.

[0014] In the sub-explosion chamber combination, the multiple sub-explosion chambers are fixedly connected into one body via the first flange.

[0015] The main explosion chamber is a high-pressure explosion chamber, which is connected to an external gas source.

[0016] The principle of the present invention is as follows: the present invention upgrades the single-caliber main explosion chamber into a three-section partitioned explosion chamber, further improving the stitching speed and stability of the driving section shock wave. At the same time, the segmented area can serve as a high-pressure test section, efficiently completing the strong shock wave loading above the MPa level; the loading method is four-area loading. When the four areas are loaded at the same time, the simulation of the nuclear explosion shock wave can be met. Single-area loading or combined loading of several areas can provide multiple explosion shock wave simulations.

[0025] The sub-explosion chamber assembly 11 includes a plurality of sub-explosion chambers 111 arranged side by side in an upper and lower array. The sub-explosion chambers 111 are all circular straight tubular structures, and the axis direction of each sub-explosion chamber 111 is parallel to the main explosion chamber 12;

[0026] The sub-blasting chamber combination 11 is connected to the first blasting chamber 121 of the main blasting chamber through a manifold 1101; specifically, the manifold 1101 is a tubular structure with a closed steel plate at the right end, and an array of through holes corresponding to the sub-blasting chamber combination 11 is provided on the closed steel plate. The right ends of multiple sub-blasting chambers 111 are respectively connected to the corresponding through holes, and each sub-blasting chamber 111 is welded to the closed steel plate of the manifold 1101.

[0027] The diaphragm mounting section 13 is connected to the right end of the third explosion chamber 123 .

[0028] The diaphragm mounting section 13 is composed of a third reducer 131, a diaphragm 132 and a fourth reducer 133. The left end of the third reducer 131 is connected to the third explosion chamber 123, and the right end is connected to the fourth reducer 133 through a diaphragm mounting flange. The right end of the fourth reducer 133 is connected to the external test section; the diaphragm 132 is located between the third reducer 131 and the fourth reducer 133, and is fixedly covered on the diaphragm mounting flange.

[0029] In the described sub-chamber assembly 11, multiple sub-chambers 111 are fixedly connected together by a first flange 112.
