Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of aerospace, and in particular to a ground-to-space correction method for a rocket separation test. Background Art
[0002] In order to ensure the smooth separation of the rocket stages and the head body during the flight, the reverse thrust engine is usually used to push the lower stage of the rocket to separate from the upper stage at a certain speed. The separation speed is obtained through ground tests or simulation analysis to verify the feasibility of the separation system design. In terms of ground tests, the main test methods include horizontal separation by slings, vertical separation by slings, and air flotation separation. Horizontal separation by slings approximately balances the vertical gravity through the tension of the slings. The test device is simple, but the swing angle of the slings during the separation process will cause the vertical gravity to not be completely balanced with the tension of the slings, and there is a risk of reverberation and collision of the test piece; vertical separation by slings can truly simulate the free separation process, but additional control and protection devices are required to control the safe release of the test piece, which greatly increases the complexity and cost of the test; air flotation separation balances the vertical gravity through the air flotation device, which can better simulate the free separation process, but different separation tests require the design of matching pressure cabins and floating blocks. The test equipment is highly restricted, the versatility is low, and the test cost is high. In terms of simulation analysis, a dynamic simulation model can be established based on the thrust of the reverse thrust engine and the mass of the separation test piece, and the separation speed can be obtained through simulation. However, this process ignores factors such as the installation deviation of the reverse thrust engine and the asynchrony of the connection and separation device. It still cannot replace the ground test and it is difficult to fully and accurately simulate the free separation process in the sky. Therefore, it is of great significance to design a reasonable ground test and make appropriate corrections to simulate the separation process of the rocket in a free state in the air as realistically as possible to ensure the success of the flight. Summary of the invention

[0006] Step 3: Based on the collected acceleration The test horizontal resultant force is obtained, and the equivalent friction coefficient μ is adjusted so that the error between the simulated horizontal resultant force of the lower-level test piece and the test horizontal resultant force is less than the set value, and the corresponding equivalent friction coefficient μ is obtained;
[0007] Step 4: According to the corresponding equivalent friction coefficient μ, adjust the pendulum length l to the set value, correct the ground separation speed to the separation speed under the rocket flight state, and complete the ground correction of the rocket separation test.
[0008] Furthermore, the process of hoisting the test piece by the slide rail vehicle and pushing the lower stage test piece by the reverse thrust engine to simulate the stage separation under the rocket flight state includes the following process:

During the process, a high-speed camera and a combined tester are used to measure the horizontal separation speed of the lower stage test piece. Acceleration

[0019] Solving this linear equation system yields Then the dynamic differential equations are established:

After the ground test data is corrected, it can more realistically simulate the rocket separation process under free separation conditions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] The process of hoisting the test piece by the slide rail vehicle and pushing the lower stage test piece by the reverse thrust engine to simulate the interstage separation under the rocket flight state includes the following steps:
[0044] The rocket ground separation test uses a gantry crane slide rail and double slings for parallel lifting and separation to simulate the interstage separation process in flight.

[0059]
[0060] Specifically, the present invention discloses a method for ground correction of rocket separation test, which uses ground test data to determine the relevant parameters of the dynamic simulation model, and corrects the ground separation speed to the separation speed in flight. The test adopts the gantry crane slide rail double sling parallel lifting separation. After the connection separation device is unlocked during the test, the reverse thrust engine pushes the lower stage to move to the right together with the slide rail car, and the locking mechanism prevents the slide rail car from moving back. During the process, a high-speed camera and a combined tester are used to measure the displacement, acceleration and other motion parameters. After the test, a dynamic simulation model is established, and the unknown parameters of the simulation model are corrected using the ground test data. Finally, the equivalent pendulum length of the corrected simulation model is adjusted to correct the ground separation speed to the separation speed in flight. The ground test of the method of the present invention is simple, the posture of the test piece separation process is stable, and the collision of the test piece can be effectively avoided. It can more realistically simulate the rocket separation process under free separation conditions.
[0061] The rocket ground separation test uses a gantry crane slide rail and double slings for parallel lifting and separation, thus simulating the interstage separation and head-body separation process under flight conditions. The separation test pieces mainly include the surface stage test pieces and the lower stage test pieces, such as Figure 2 During the test, after the connection and separation device is unlocked, the reverse thrust engine pushes the lower stage test piece and the slide vehicle to move to the right, and the locking mechanism prevents the slide vehicle from moving back. During the process, a high-speed camera and a combined tester are used to measure the displacement, acceleration and other motion parameters.
[0062] According to the test principle, the lower test piece performs a planar compound motion (ignoring the influence of the caster rotation), the involved motion is the horizontal motion of the slide rail car, and the relative motion is the rotation around the midpoint of the line connecting the two suspension points of the slide rail car. The rotation can be equivalent to a single pendulum motion with a pendulum length of l. The simplified force analysis of the slide rail car and the lower test piece is as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0063] Establish as Figure 3 The rectangular coordinate system shown in the figure establishes the dynamic differential equation for the particle system:
[0064]
[0065] Constraint equations:
[0066]
[0067] Geometric equations:
[0068]
[0069] Combining the above equations, we get a linear system of equations consisting of dynamics and constraint equations:
[0070]
[0071] Solving this linear equation system yields Then the dynamic differential equations are established:
[0072]
[0073] Adjust the equivalent friction coefficient μ so that the error between the simulated horizontal resultant force and the experimental horizontal resultant force of the lower-level test piece is minimized. Based on this, the following optimization problem can be established:
[0074]
[0075] After determining the equivalent friction coefficient μ of the simulation model, the pendulum length l is set to a sufficiently large value (such as l=1000m), so that the vertical direction is approximately balanced by force, and the horizontal direction is almost only subject to the thrust of the reverse thrust engine, thereby correcting the ground test data to the data of free separation during flight in the sky.
[0076] In the above formulas, m1 is the mass of the slide rail car, m2 is the mass of the lower test piece, x1 is the horizontal displacement of the slide rail car, y1 is the vertical displacement of the slide rail car, x2 is the horizontal displacement of the lower test piece, y2 is the vertical displacement of the lower test piece, T is the tension of the sling, μ is the equivalent sliding friction coefficient, N is the support force of the slide rail, F is the thrust of the reverse thrust engine, g is the acceleration of gravity, l is the equivalent pendulum length, is the swing angle, is the acceleration of the lower test piece measured by the combined tester, t fis the observation time. The superscripts “·” and “··” represent the first-order derivative and second-order derivative of the corresponding variable with respect to time, respectively.
[0077] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field.
