Description

Technical Field

[0002] Solid rocket engines have the advantages of large charge, simple structure, maneuverability, high reliability and strong survivability. They are currently the main power unit for large solid launch vehicles. Since the total propellant weight of large solid rocket engines often weighs 100 tons or more, the entire propellant cannot be poured at one time during manufacturing due to propellant production safety requirements and casting equipment capacity limitations. In addition, after the overall pouring of the propellant is completed, if there are quality problems and it is scrapped, it will result in excessive costs.

[0003] In response to the above problems, a segmented solid rocket engine is designed in the related art. In the field of rockets, the segmented solid rocket engine divides the combustion chamber into several sections, each of which has an independent shell, insulation structure and propellant column. The sections are connected by a sealing structure, and finally a complete combustion chamber is formed by assembling multiple sections, so as to achieve the design purpose of a combustion chamber with a large aspect ratio and a large charge within a limited diameter. There are many modes of solid rocket engines, and different modes of solid rocket engines are formed by assembling different segments. However, the current segmented solid rocket engine cannot be disassembled and reassembled into other modes of solid rocket engines after the multi-segment assembly is completed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides an assembly device for modular rockets, which can solve the problem in the related art that segmented solid rocket engines are difficult to disassemble and reassemble into solid rocket engines of other modes after assembly.

[0033] See also Figure 1 As shown, the assembly device includes a main frame 1 and at least one movable frame 2, wherein the main frame 1 includes a first longitudinal bracket 10 and a second longitudinal bracket 11 that are detachably connected in sequence, the length of the second longitudinal bracket 11 is at least greater than the sum of the lengths of the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber and at least two standard module rocket engine combustion chambers, and the movable frame 2 specifically includes a base frame 20 and a movable frame 21, the base frame 20 is arranged between the first longitudinal bracket 10 and the second longitudinal bracket 11, and both sides extend outward by at least a preset length to form an assembly area 200 and a disassembly area 201 respectively located on both sides, and the movable frame 21 is arranged on the base frame 20, and the movable frame 21 is used to drive the standard module rocket engine combustion chamber to slide between the assembly area 200 and the disassembly area 201 to adjust the coaxiality of the standard module rocket engine combustion chamber with the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber and the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber respectively located on the first longitudinal bracket 10 and the second longitudinal bracket 11. Specifically, the movable frame 2 is a relatively flexible unit, which is mainly used to slide between the assembly area 200 and the disassembly area 201 through the movable frame 21 to realize the addition or removal of the standard module rocket engine combustion chamber between the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber and the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, so as to realize the switching between different modes of different solid rocket engines. Generally, solid rocket engines have three commonly used modes. The first mode consists of a front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber and a rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, the second mode consists of a front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, a standard module rocket engine combustion chamber and a rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, and the third mode consists of a front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, two or more standard module rocket engine combustion chambers and a rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber. In addition, the length dimension of the second longitudinal bracket 11 ranges from 2.5 to 4m, generally 3m, and specifically includes two sections of standard module stop positions and one section of rear basic module stop position.

[0034] For further information, see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the base frame 20 specifically includes two cross beams 202 spaced apart along the width direction of the main frame body 1 and a plurality of connecting beams 204 spaced apart between the two cross beams 202, each cross beam 202 extends at least to a preset length at both ends to form an assembly area 200 and a disassembly area 201 with the connecting beams 204, a slide rail 203 is provided on the top surface of each cross beam 202, and support members 204 that can be adjusted in the vertical direction are spaced apart on the bottom surface, and limit members that can move along the slide rail 203 are provided at both ends of each slide rail 203. Specifically, the support member 204 is used to fix the base frame 20 on the foundation located below. The base frame 20 is mainly divided into three parts, two of which are the assembly area 200 and the disassembly area 201 located on both sides, and the remaining part is the receiving area located between the assembly area 200 and the disassembly area 201. The receiving area is mainly used to receive the solid rocket engine after the installation is completed. Therefore, the size of the base frame 20 along the width direction of the main frame body 1 is at least three times the width of the solid rocket engine. The role of the limit member is to assist the movable frame 21 in accurately positioning on the base frame 20.

[0035] Furthermore, the movable frame 21 includes two assembly channels 210 arranged side by side along the width direction of the main frame body 1, and the width dimension and the preset length dimension of each assembly channel 210 are consistent with the width dimension of the first longitudinal bracket 10 and the second longitudinal bracket 11. Specifically, the two assembly channels 210 on the movable frame 21 are mainly used for accommodating and placing the combustion chamber of the standard modular rocket engine during installation and disassembly.

[0036] Furthermore, since the overall shape of the solid rocket engine is cylindrical, in order to better ensure stability, the assembly device also includes a plurality of support frames 3, and the plurality of support frames 3 are respectively slidably disposed on the first longitudinal bracket 10 and the second longitudinal bracket 11, and each assembly channel 210 is provided with at least two spaced support frames 3, and the plurality of support frames 3 are used to jointly support the rocket, and each support frame 3 specifically includes a horizontal bracket 30 and a vertical bracket 31 arranged from bottom to top, and the bottom surface of the horizontal bracket 30 is provided with a slider 32, and the top surface is provided with a first connecting plate 33, and waist-shaped connecting holes are provided on both sides of the first connecting plate 33, and the bottom surface of the vertical bracket 31 is provided with a second connecting plate 34, and the two sides of the second connecting plate 34 are provided with connecting circular holes corresponding to the waist-shaped connecting holes, and the horizontal position of the vertical bracket 31 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the connecting circular hole relative to the waist-shaped connecting hole. Specifically, since the whole is composed of multiple segments, the coaxiality between each segment needs to be ensured before splicing. Since the first longitudinal bracket 10, the second longitudinal bracket 11 and the movable frame 2 are all spliced ​​together, there may be errors in the process of superimposed splicing and subsequent positioning of the movable frame 21, resulting in a large overall cumulative error. At this time, it is not very convenient to adjust the first longitudinal bracket 10, the second longitudinal bracket 11 and the movable frame 2. Therefore, the support frame 3 is designed to be an adjustable structure. If there is an error in the horizontal position, the position of the vertical bracket 31 is adjusted so that the connecting circular hole thereon moves relative to the position of the waist-shaped connecting hole on the horizontal bracket 30, and then it can be re-fixed.

[0037] Furthermore, in addition to the need to adjust the horizontal position, the vertical position may also need to be adjusted. Therefore, a limit bracket 35 is also provided on the top of the vertical bracket 31. The bottom surface of the limit bracket 35 is connected to the vertical bracket 31, and at least two adjustment plates 36 are provided between the limit bracket 35 and the vertical bracket 31. The vertical position of the limit bracket 35 is adjusted by adjusting the number of adjustment plates 36. The top surface of the limit bracket 35 is a concave arc shape, which matches the shape of the solid rocket engine.

[0038] Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned position in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction can be adjusted again after the assembly is completed, since the overall length is relatively long, if there is no reference mark or detection during the adjustment process, the difficulty of adjustment will be increased. Therefore, the assembly device also includes two sets of alignment components symmetrically arranged at the end of the first longitudinal bracket 10 away from the movable frame 2, and each limit bracket 35 is symmetrically provided with alignment holes 37. The alignment components are used to emit alignment light to adjust the position of the corresponding limit bracket 35 according to the situation that the alignment light passes through the corresponding alignment hole 37. Specifically, when adjusting, it is observed whether the alignment light emitted by the alignment component at one end passes through the alignment holes 37 on the limit bracket 35 in sequence, which is used as the judgment basis for adjustment, thereby reducing the difficulty and time required for the entire adjustment process.

[0039] For further information, see Figure 4 As shown, the assembly device also includes an assembly trolley 4, which specifically includes a movable seat 40 and a multi-stage oil cylinder 43, wherein the movable seat 40 is slidably arranged on the second longitudinal bracket 11, a fixed bracket 41 is arranged on the movable seat 40, and the movable seat 40 can adjust the position of the fixed bracket 41 in the vertical and horizontal directions respectively, the top surface of the fixed bracket 41 is in a concave arc shape, and fixing members 42 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top, and the fixing members 42 on both sides are used to connect the movable seat 40 with the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, and the multi-stage oil cylinder 43 is arranged on the second longitudinal bracket 11, and one end is connected to the movable seat 40. Specifically, the structure of the movable seat 40 is similar to that of the support frame 3, and the fixing members 42 arranged on both sides of the fixed bracket 41 are used to pass through the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, so that in the process of installation and disassembly, with the assistance of the support frame 3, the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, or the standard module rocket engine combustion chamber connected to the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber and connected thereto, are moved together in a direction close to or away from the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber.

[0040] Furthermore, each fixing part 42 specifically includes a fixing ear 44 and a fixing pin 45 rotatably inserted into the fixing ear 44. The fixing pin 45 is connected to the corresponding fixing hole on the combustion chamber of the rear basic module rocket engine by adjusting the length of the fixing pin 45 extending out of the fixing ear 44.

[0041] For further information, see Figure 5 As shown, both ends of the first longitudinal bracket 10, the second longitudinal bracket 11 and the base frame 20 are provided with a docking section 5, and the docking section 5 includes a transition chassis 50 and a transition bracket 51 arranged from bottom to top, and both ends of each side of the transition chassis 50 are provided with a triangular connecting piece 52, and the top of the transition bracket 51 is provided with a transition track 53.

[0042] The operating principle of this assembly device is as follows:

[0043] Take the example of a solid rocket engine that needs to change from the first mode to the third mode:

[0044] First, move both movable frames 21 laterally to their respective disassembly areas 201, lift the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber onto the support frame 3 on the first movable frame 21 close to the first longitudinal bracket 10, and lift the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber onto the support frame 3 on the second movable frame 21 close to the second longitudinal bracket 11; then lift the solid rocket engine in the first mode onto the support frame 3 of the assembly device, and after completion, connect the fixing parts 42 on the assembly cart 4 located on the second longitudinal bracket 11 to the corresponding fixing holes on the combustion chamber of the rear basic module rocket engine.

[0045] Operate the locking nut on the female joint of the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber to the unlocking position. At this time, the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber and the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber are successfully unlocked. Then operate the assembly cart 4 located at the tail of the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber to move in the direction of the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber until the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber is moved to the rear basic module stop position of the second longitudinal bracket 11, and then move the second movable frame 21 horizontally to its corresponding assembly area 200, so that the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber is in the accommodation area, that is, on the same axial direction as the solid rocket engine combustion chamber in the first mode.

[0046] Operate the locking nut on the female joint on the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber to the unlocked position, and operate the assembly cart 4 again to move toward the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber, so that the sub-joint of the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber enters the connecting groove of the locking nut of the female joint of the standard module rocket engine combustion chamber, and operate the locking nut on the female joint of the standard module rocket engine combustion chamber to the locked position. At this time, the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber is connected as a whole with the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber.

[0047] Then move the first movable frame 21 close to the first longitudinal bracket 10 laterally to the assembly area 200, so that the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber is in the receiving area, on the same axial direction as the solid rocket engine combustion chamber in the first mode, operate the locking nut on the female joint in the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber to the unlocked position, and operate the assembly cart 4 again to drive the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber and the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber to move toward the direction of the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber, so that the sub-joint of the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber enters the female joint locking nut connecting groove of the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber, and operates the locking nut on the female joint of the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber to the locking position. At this time, the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber is connected as a whole with the second standard module rocket engine combustion chamber.

[0048] Operate the assembly trolley 4 to move toward the direction approaching the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber. Similarly, make the sub-joint of the first standard module rocket engine combustion chamber enter the connecting groove of the locking nut of the female joint of the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, operate the locking nut on the female joint of the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber to the locking position, then the front basic module rocket engine combustion chamber is connected as one with the two standard module rocket engine combustion chambers and the rear basic module rocket engine combustion chamber, that is, assembled into the third mode of solid rocket engine combustion chamber.
