[0072] Example 2

[0073] This embodiment discloses a method for completely collecting solid propellant combustion residues. The method is implemented by the solid propellant combustion residue complete collection system disclosed in Embodiment 1, and comprises the following steps:

[0074] Step 1, add the collecting liquid into the collecting chamber; stick the propellant strip 401 to the bottom surface of the fixing plate 403, and remove the sleeve 404 after the propellant strip 401 is firmly bonded; complete the system connection;

[0075] Step 2, manually set the pressure value of the back pressure valve 15 to 0.1-20 MPa, close the front solenoid valve 23, the exhaust solenoid valve 11 and the gas washing solenoid valve 25, open the inlet solenoid valve 21, allow the high-pressure gas to enter the combustion chamber shell, and make the pressure in the combustion chamber shell reach the set pressure value of 0.1-20 MPa;

[0076] Step 3, synchronously start the ignition mechanism 5 and the driving device 27 to ignite the propellant strip 401; during the combustion of the propellant strip 401, the driving device 27 drives the push rod 6 to move downward, thereby driving the propellant strip 401 to move downward; during the combustion of the propellant strip, the distance between the lower end surface of the propellant strip and the liquid surface of the collection liquid is kept constant;

[0077] As the propellant strip 401 burns, the push rod 6 moves downward under the drive device 27, and the movement speed of the push rod 6 is equal to the burning speed of the propellant strip 401, and the working time is equal to the burning time of the propellant strip 401. The downward movement of the push rod 6 compensates for the increase in the distance between the propellant strip 401 and the liquid surface caused by the burning surface, that is, it ensures that the position of the burning surface remains unchanged. The agglomerated particles produced after combustion are quickly cooled and frozen by the collection liquid.

[0078] Step 4: After the propellant strip 401 is burned, the exhaust solenoid valve 11 is opened until the pressure in the combustion chamber shell is equal to the atmospheric pressure; the pre-solenoid valve 23 and the gas washing solenoid valve 25 are opened, the exhaust solenoid valve 11 is closed, and the vacuum pump 18 is turned on to make the fine particles dispersed in the gas in the combustion chamber shell gather on the filter membrane of the outlet filter 9;

[0079] Step 5, open the drain valve 30 to discharge the collected liquid;

[0080] Step 6: Collect the residue in the collected liquid and the fine particles on the filter membrane of the outlet filter 9 to complete the collection of the solid propellant combustion residue.

[0081] As a preferred solution of this embodiment, the speed at which the push rod 6 moves downward is equal to the burning speed of the propellant strip 401, and the speed at which the push rod 6 moves downward is less than 50 mm / s. By controlling the speed at which the push rod 6 moves downward to be equal to the burning speed of the propellant strip 401, it is possible to ensure that during the combustion process, a constant distance is maintained between the lower end surface of the propellant strip 401 and the surface of the collected liquid, and the distance in this embodiment is 10 mm.
