[0020] The thickness of the first ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheet 2 is 2 mm, the thickness of the second ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheet 6 is 6 mm, and the thickness of the polyurea coating 1 on both sides is 4 mm.

The length of the projection surface of a single cavity is not more than 200 mm, and the width is not more than 200 mm.

[0023] The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene embedded parts 4 are distributed at intervals around the outermost cavity of the carbon fiber grid 5 .

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment provides a lightweight protective plate for a launch vehicle, including a first ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate 2, an intermediate sandwich structure and a second ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate 6.

[0027] The front panel is composed of a polyurea coating 1 and a first ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate 2, the thicknesses of which are 4 mm and 2 mm respectively.

[0028] The middle sandwich structure includes polyurethane foam 3, carbon fiber grid 5 and several ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene embedded parts 4, with a thickness of 40 mm. Specifically, the carbon fiber grid 5 is divided into several cavities, the length of the projection surface of a single cavity is 200 mm, and the width is 200 mm. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene embedded parts 4 are distributed around the outer ring cavity of the carbon fiber grid 5, and the polyurethane foam 3 and the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene embedded parts 4 are filled in the cavity of the carbon fiber grid 5.

[0029] The back panel is composed of a second ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate 6 and a polyurea coating 1, and the thicknesses of the two are 6 mm and 4 mm respectively.

[0030] Finally, a "sandwich" protective plate structure of "4mm polyurea coating 1 + 2mm first ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate 2 + 40mm middle sandwich structure + 6mm second ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate 6 + 4mm polyurea coating 1" with a total thickness of 56mm is formed.

[0031] The present invention sprays polyurea coating on the structure, adopts grid filling form to form a "sandwich" structure, and adopts ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene plate with lower density than steel plate and aluminum alloy panel. Under 80kpa shock wave incident overpressure, the maximum deflection of the protective structure proposed by the present invention is close to 80mm compared with the original structure, and the maximum deflection is 15-16mm, and the anti-explosion protection ability is significantly enhanced; at the same time, the surface density is 70.2kg / m 2 9mm steel plate, the surface density of this protective plate is 23.2kg / m 2 On the premise of meeting the explosion-proof protection requirements, the weight of the protective plate is greatly reduced, achieving lightweight.

[0032] In modern warfare, with the rapid development of enemy target detection and positioning technology and bomb damage efficiency, my country's launch vehicle wartime protection, survival and counterattack capabilities are facing severe tests. Aiming at the close-range explosion shock wave attack that the launch vehicle may encounter, the present invention improves the launch vehicle body protection plate by combining new materials with new structures, which is conducive to the launch vehicle to better adapt to the development trend of modern warfare, meet the multi-functional protection needs in complex battlefield environments, and maximize the wartime survival and protection capabilities of the launch vehicle; at the same time, it also reduces the body weight and manufacturing costs to a certain extent.

[0033] The mechanical properties of the prepared lightweight protective plate for the launch vehicle were tested:

[0034] The lightweight protective plate for the launch vehicle prepared in Example 1 of the present application was subjected to a mechanical property test to obtain the polyurea equivalent stress curve of the front and back panels and the equivalent stress curve of the front and back panels. Figure 4 and Figure 5 By comparison, it can be seen that polyurea has a more obvious peak elimination effect on the front side, and its buffering effect is more obvious than that on the back side. Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be found that the equivalent stress of the back panel is significantly reduced compared to the front panel, but it serves as the main pressure-bearing structure for a longer period of time. Analysis of the above results shows that the lightweight protective plate polyurea coating structure for the launch vehicle prepared in Example 1 of the present application has excellent mechanical properties, can restrain the deformation of the structure, effectively resist the impact load of the explosion, and significantly improve the explosion resistance of the protective plate.

[0035] The performance test of the prepared lightweight protective plate for the launch vehicle was carried out:

[0036] The lightweight protective plate for the launch vehicle prepared in Example 1 of the present application and the traditional protective plate were tested under 80 kPa shock wave incident overpressure, and their explosion-proof performance was compared using the deformation of the two as an index.

[0037] Depend on Figure 3 and Figure 8 It can be seen that under the action of the explosion load, the maximum deflection of the traditional protective plate and the lightweight protective plate for the launch vehicle prepared in Example 1 is very different. Among them, the maximum deflection of the center of the traditional protective plate reaches 80mm, while the maximum deflection of the center of the lightweight protective plate for the launch vehicle prepared in Example 1 of the present application is 15-16mm. Compared with the traditional protective plate, the maximum deformation is reduced by 81.25-82.5%. This fully illustrates that compared with the traditional protective plate in the prior art, the lightweight protective plate for the launch vehicle described in this application has more excellent explosion resistance, can more effectively resist the explosion shock wave, and protect the structure, and has important practical application value. In summary, the explosion-resistant and impact-resistant composite explosion-proof plate described in this application has a good energy consumption effect and greatly improves the explosion resistance and impact resistance.
