[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 5 , the pressure plate 1 is conveniently connected to the support arm structure. The support arm structure includes an adjusting rod 4, a support arm 6 and a strut 7, wherein the strut 7 is in the form of a hollow rod. One end of the adjusting rod 4 is inserted into the hole in the middle of the strut 7, and the other end is connected to the support arm 6 through a No. 2 quick-release pin 3; the locking device 5 adopts a locking nut to achieve reliable locking, and the adjusting rod 4 can be reliably locked on the strut 7 through the locking nut. The strut 7 is connected to the support base 10 through a No. 4 quick-release pin 9; the support arm 6 and the support base 10 are connected through a No. 3 quick-release pin 8;

[0024] The support seat 10 is fastened to the sleeve 13 by screws, and the sleeve 13 is connected to the pin 12 through the No. 1 tapered roller bearing 16, the No. 2 tapered roller bearing 17 and the small round nut 18. The sleeve 13 can rotate freely around the pin 12 through the No. 1 tapered roller bearing 16 and the No. 2 tapered roller bearing 17. In order to limit the rotation of the sleeve 13 around the pin 12 in the horizontal and vertical positions, holes for installing fixed components are provided on the sleeve 13 and the periphery of the pin 12, which can also be quickly fixed by quick-release pins; the No. 1 bearing cover 14 is fastened to the sleeve 13 by screws; the No. 2 bearing cover 15 is fixed to the pin 12 by screws.

[0025] As an optional embodiment, the pressure plate 1 can rotate freely around the connection point with the support arm structure, and the contact portion between the pressure plate 1 and the missile is made of soft material.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pressure plate 1 is conveniently connected to the support arm 6 through the No. 1 quick-release pin 2, and the pressure plate 1 can be rotated a certain angle around the hinge point connected to the No. 1 quick-release pin 2 to adapt to the fixation of different types of missiles; the contact part between the pressure plate 1 and the missile is made of soft rubber material, which plays an effective fixing and protection role during the transportation of the missile.

[0027] As an optional embodiment, the adjusting rod 4 is securely locked on the strut 7 by the locking device 5 or is free to slide in the strut 7 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the adjusting rod 4 is reliably locked on the strut 7 or slides freely in the strut 7 through the locking device 5. The adjusting rod 4 is in the form of a screw and the locking device 5 is two locking nuts. When the locking nuts are not tightened, the adjusting rod 4 can slide freely on the strut. At this time, the pressure plate 1 is not affected by the adjusting rod 4 and can still rotate freely around the hinge point connected to the No. 1 quick-release pin 2; after the locking nut is tightened, the adjusting rod 4 is reliably locked on the strut 7, and the pressure plate 1 will be partially affected by the adjusting rod 4. After the inner arc surface of the pressure plate 1 completely contacts the missile, the pressure plate 1 will be reliably pressed on the arc surface of the missile under the action of the force arm, thereby achieving reliable fixation of the missile.

[0029] As an optional embodiment, the upper portion of the support base 10 can swing freely.

[0030] In this embodiment, the portion above the support base 10 can swing freely. During the loading and unloading process of the missile, the support arm 6 can be adjusted to a horizontal or vertical position as the support base 10 rotates, which facilitates the loading and unloading of the missile and avoids unnecessary bumps.

[0031] As an optional embodiment, the sleeve 13 can rotate freely around the pin 12 through a bearing system, and the sleeve 13 can be fixed by providing a fixing device around the sleeve 13 and the pin 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sleeve 13 is connected to the pin 12 through the No. 1 tapered roller bearing 16, the No. 2 tapered roller bearing 17 and the small round nut 18. The sleeve 13 can rotate freely around the pin 12 through the No. 1 tapered roller bearing 16 and the No. 2 tapered roller bearing 17. In order to limit the rotation of the sleeve 13 around the pin 12 in the horizontal position and the vertical position, holes for installing and fixing components are provided on the sleeve 13 and around the pin 12, which can be quickly and conveniently fixed by quick-release pins.

[0033] As an optional embodiment, a No. 1 bearing cap 14 is provided on the shaft sleeve 13 ; and a No. 2 bearing cap 15 is provided on the pin shaft 12 .

[0034] In this embodiment, a No. 1 bearing cover 14 is provided on the shaft sleeve 13; a No. 2 bearing cover 15 is provided on the pin shaft 12; the bearing cover prevents foreign matter such as dust from invading the raceway of the rolling element, ensures that the lubricant only acts on the rolling element and the raceway without overflowing, and to a certain extent prevents the rolling element retainer and other wearing parts from being damaged by external forces, thereby improving the service life of the shaft structure as a whole.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, a sealing ring is radially installed between the bearing cover 15 and the shaft sleeve 13 .

[0036] In this embodiment, a sealing ring is radially installed between the bearing cover 15 and the shaft sleeve 13, and the sealing ring has the effect of preventing foreign matter from intruding and lubricant from leaking.

[0037] As an optional embodiment, a step is provided at one end of the pin shaft 12 .

[0038] In this embodiment, a flat step is provided at one end of the pin shaft 12. Through the flat step, one end of the pin shaft 12 can be flatly fitted on the loading beam to facilitate the installation of the missile transport clamping device and the stability in the working state.

[0039] Typical working conditions are shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 5 Attach the stepped end of the pin 12 to the missile support beam, align the fixing hole of the pin 12 with the hole in the missile support beam, and then install the clamping mechanism to the missile support beam using the screws. To clamp the missile, first loosen the locking nut in the locking device 5, allowing the adjustment rod 4 to slide freely within the strut 7. Then, move the support arm 6 so that it rotates around the No. 3 quick-release pin 8. Adjust the support arm 6 to an angle appropriate for the missile size, allowing the soft inner curved surface of the pressure plate 1 to contact the missile. Then, adjust the locking nut in the locking device 5 to tighten. At this point, the screw-structured adjustment rod 4 moves toward the support arm 6. Because the locking device 5 is restrained by the strut 7, the force arm allows the pressure plate 1 to reliably clamp against the missile, ultimately achieving reliable missile fixation. It should be noted that at least two of these clamping mechanisms are required on one end of the missile to achieve reliable missile fixation.

[0040] When hoisting the missile, in order to prevent the impact and inconvenience caused by the clamping mechanism on the hoisting process, the support arm 6 can be lifted up around the No. 3 quick-release pin 8, and the support seat 10 can be rotated outward by a certain angle, and finally the entire clamping mechanism is rotated to a horizontal position or a vertical position, and locked in this working state by the No. 5 quick-release pin 11 to facilitate the loading and unloading of the missile.
