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.
[0036] The embodiment of the present application provides a rotating launch device that can continuously launch satellites 23, which can solve the technical problems of large launch energy loss of traditional carriers 8, high difficulty in reusing carriers 8, high launch costs, and serious environmental pollution.
[0037] First, please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a rotary launch device capable of continuously launching satellites 23, comprising a base mechanism, a launch cabin 2, a rotary support mechanism 3, a plurality of release devices 6, a loading device 4 and an accelerator 5. The base mechanism comprises a base 1 and a connecting shaft fixed to the base 1. The base 1 is used to support the entire rotary launch device capable of continuously launching satellites 23, and is an installation platform for the rotary launch device. The exit direction of the carrier 8 can be adjusted by rotating and pitching the base 1. The connection between the base 1 and the connecting shaft is a rotation point. The launch cabin 2 comprises a rotating cabin and a launching tube connected with the rotating cabin, wherein the rotating cabin is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft; a rotating support mechanism 3 comprises a plurality of supporting arms which are arranged radially in a uniform array along a circumference with a rotating point as the center; a plurality of releasing devices 6 are respectively arranged at the tail end of a supporting arm, and are used to lock / unlock the carrier 8 at the tail end of the corresponding supporting arm; a loading device 4 is located in the launching cabin 2, and is used to load the carrier 8 into the tail ends of the plurality of supporting arms; an accelerator 5 is fixed on the connecting shaft, and is used to drive the rotating support mechanism 3 to rotate.
[0038] The rotary launch device provided in the present application can continuously launch satellites 23. The rotary support mechanism 3 is driven to rotate by acceleration. The carriers 8 at the tail ends of multiple support arms are released in sequence by the release device 6. The carriers 8 carrying the satellites 23 are launched into a predetermined orbit under the action of centrifugal force. The launch device is reusable and has a low launch cost.
[0039] In one embodiment, the plurality of support arms are radially distributed around the rotation center.
[0040] In one embodiment, the plurality of support arms are radially arranged around the rotation center and are evenly arranged along the circumference, that is, the angles between two adjacent support arms are the same.
[0041] In one embodiment, a plurality of support arms intersect and converge into a connection disk, and the accelerator 5 is fixed on the connection disk, and drives the connection disk to rotate, thereby driving the plurality of support arms to rotate.
[0042] In one embodiment, the launch cabin 2 is a circular cabin, and the launch tube is located in the tangential direction of the circular cabin, so that the carrier 8 located at the tail end of multiple support arms is launched along the tangential direction under the action of centrifugal force and smoothly enters the predetermined orbit.
[0043] In one embodiment, the rotating cabin is a circular cabin, and the launching tube is located in the vertical tangent direction of the circular cabin, so that the carrier 8 located at the tail end of multiple support arms is launched along the vertical tangent direction under the action of centrifugal force and smoothly enters the predetermined orbit.
[0044] In one embodiment, a launch tube top cover is provided at the muzzle of the launch tube, and the launch tube top cover is broken by the carrier 8 during launching, and the top cover can be quickly and automatically replaced after completing a round of launching.
[0045] In one embodiment, the launch cabin 2 is a circular cabin, the launch tube is located in the vertical tangent direction of the circular cabin, the carrier 8 is firmly and reliably locked to the tail end of the corresponding support arm through the release device 6, and the accelerator 5 drives the rotating support mechanism 3 to rotate. When the carrier 8 moves to a direction consistent with the launch tube under the rotation of its support arm, the release device 6 unlocks the carrier 8 on the corresponding support arm to achieve rapid separation and release of the carrier 8 with high precision at the millisecond level, so that the carrier 8 is launched along the vertical tangent direction under the action of centrifugal force and smoothly enters the predetermined orbit.
[0046] In one embodiment, when the carrier 8 is locked to the corresponding tail end of the support arm by the release device 6, the length extension direction of the carrier 8 is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the support arm.
[0047] In one embodiment, when the carrier 8 is locked to the corresponding tail end of the support arm by the release device 6, the length extension direction of the carrier 8 is perpendicular to the length extension direction of the support arm and the bottom surface is flush with the tail end of the support arm.
[0048] In one embodiment, the rotating launch device capable of continuously launching satellites 23 provided in the present application also includes an environmental control device 7, which is used to regulate the temperature, pressure and humidity in the launch cabin 2 to provide a suitable storage environment for the carrier 8.
[0049] In one embodiment, the environmental control equipment 7 includes an air conditioning system 24, an air compression system 25 and an environmental monitoring system 26. The environmental monitoring system 26 includes a temperature and humidity sensor and a pressure sensor, which is used to monitor the environmental status in the launch cabin 2. The information obtained by the temperature and humidity sensor is collected, calculated and processed in real time, and the temperature and humidity values in the launch cabin 2 are obtained to determine whether to start or stop the air conditioning in the launch cabin 2 to achieve heating, cooling or dehumidification control in the launch cabin 2. The temperature and humidity in the launch cabin 2 cannot be ultimately controlled within a specified range. In order to reduce the energy loss of the rotating support mechanism 3 and multiple carriers 8 during the rotation process, the launch cabin 2 needs to be continuously evacuated before the launch of the carrier 8, during the rotation acceleration process, and after the launch is completed, and the atmospheric pressure in the launch cabin 2 is monitored by a pressure sensor to evaluate the vacuum degree in the launch cabin 2, effectively reducing the launch cost and energy loss of the carrier 8.
[0050] In one embodiment, there are multiple environmental control devices 7 fixed on the inner wall of the rotating cabin so as not to interfere with the rotational movement of the support arm and the carrier 8 .
[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The loading device 4 includes a transmission chain 9, a carrier storage part 10 and a chain power system 12.

At the same time, the loading device 4 has an entrance for externally filling ammunition. After completing a round of firing, the chain carrier 8 can continue to be replenished.
[0052] In one embodiment, when the carrier storage part 10 rotates to the top, it becomes the carrier loading part 11. When loading the carrier 8, the support arm of the rotating support mechanism 3 rotates to the carrier loading part 11, and the release device 6 at the tail of the support arm grabs and locks the carrier 8 to complete the loading of one support arm. The chain power system 12 works synchronously with the accelerator 5, and the transmission chain 9 and the rotating support mechanism 3 rotate at the same time to complete the alignment of the next support arm with the loading position, and load the second carrier 8. By rotating, 6 carriers 8 can be automatically and quickly loaded. At the same time, the loading device 4 has an external ammunition filling entrance, and the carrier 8 can be replenished after completing a round of firing.
[0053] In one embodiment, the rotating support mechanism 3 has six support arms arranged evenly around a circumference, and each support arm can carry one carrier 8 at a time.
[0054] In one embodiment, the release device 6 is placed at the rear of the support arm. During the loading process of the carrier 8, the electric actuator on the release device 6 can be reliably connected and locked with the carrier 8, and the loading device 4 is unlocked at the same time, and the loading of the carrier 8 is completed. During the acceleration process, the release device 6 firmly and reliably fixes the carrier 8. After the acceleration is completed, the electric actuator is quickly unlocked, and the carrier 8 is quickly released with high precision at the millisecond level.
[0055] In one embodiment, the accelerator 5 includes an electric drive system, which drives the rotating support mechanism 3 to rotate to provide rotational acceleration for the carrier 8, thereby achieving the exit speed of the carrier 8 from the launch tube.
[0056] In one embodiment, the accelerator 5 includes an electric drive system and a speed controller 14, and the speed controller 14 is communicatively connected to the electric drive system.

[0057] In one embodiment, the accelerator 5 includes an electric drive system, a speed controller 14, and a braking and energy recovery system. The speed controller 14 and the braking and energy recovery system are electrically connected to the electric drive system. The braking and energy recovery system is used to quickly brake the rotating support mechanism 3 and recover energy after the carrier 8 is launched.
[0058] In one embodiment, the accelerator 5 includes an electric drive system, a speed controller 14, a braking and energy recovery system and an energy storage system 19. The braking and energy recovery system is electrically connected to the energy storage system 19. The energy storage system 19 is used to store energy recovered by the braking and energy recovery system.

The electric drive system 16 is driven by the diesel generator 18 and the energy storage system 19. The accelerator 5 has a speed controller 14, which can adjust the loading speed and the rotational launch speed. The rotational speed of the support device is fed back through the speed monitoring system 20 to achieve precise closed-loop control of the speed. The accelerator 5 has a braking energy recovery system, which can quickly brake and recover energy after the launch is completed, and store the recovery capacity in the energy storage system 19 to improve energy utilization.
[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The carrier 8 includes a protective shell 21 and an engine 22 and a satellite 23 arranged therein. The satellite 23 is connected to the engine 22 in a transmission manner. The protective shell 21 is used to prevent the engine 22 and the satellite 23 from being damaged by centrifugal force. After the carrier 8 leaves the tube at a certain height, the protective shell 21 separates automatically. The engine 22 is ignited in the active flight segment to push the satellite 23 to continue to rise and adjust the attitude of the satellite 23. After the satellite 23 is sent into a predetermined orbit, the engine 22 separates from the satellite 23.

[0063] In a second aspect, the present application provides a rotational launch method capable of continuously launching satellites 23, comprising the following steps:
[0064] The loading device 4 at the bottom of the launch cabin 2 is used to automatically load the carriers 8 at the tail ends of the multiple support arms;
[0065] Controlling the vacuum degree in the launch cabin 2 to meet the preset vacuum degree standard;
[0066] The electric drive system 16 controlling the accelerator 5 is turned on to drive the rotating support mechanism 3 and the carrier 8 to rotate;
[0067] The carriers 8 at the tail ends of the multiple support arms are controlled to be launched in sequence.
[0068] In one embodiment, the present application provides a rotational launch method capable of continuously launching satellites 23, comprising the following steps:
[0069] The first step is to load the carriers 8: the loading device 4 at the bottom of the launch cabin 2 is used to automatically load the six carriers 8;
[0070] In the second step, the environmental control device 7 starts to adjust the vacuum degree in the launch cabin 2 synchronously to provide a vacuum environment for rotation;
[0071] In the third step, the electric drive system 16 of the accelerator 5 is turned on to drive the rotating support mechanism 3 and the carrier 8 to rotate at high speed;
[0072] Step 4: When the rotation speed of the rotating support mechanism 3 reaches the required speed, the release device 6 releases the carrier 8 rapidly and continuously with high precision at the millisecond level;
[0073] Step 5: The carrier 8 breaks through the top cover of the launch cabin 2 and starts to fly at high speed. After reaching a predetermined height, the protective shell 21 separates itself.
[0074] In the sixth step, the engine 22 is ignited to provide boost, and at the same time the attitude of the carrier 8 is adjusted to send the satellite 23 to the predetermined orbit and then separate, thus completing a round of launch.
[0075] In one embodiment, the step of controlling the carriers 8 at the tail ends of the multiple support arms to be launched sequentially specifically comprises the following steps:
[0076] The carriers 8 at the tail ends of multiple support arms are controlled to execute a diagonal launch strategy and launch in sequence according to the distribution pattern of the multiple carriers 8. When releasing the carriers 8, a diagonal release scheme is adopted, and the release sequence is No. 1, No. 4, No. 2, No. 5, No. 3, and No. 6 (6 carriers 8 are arranged clockwise). This can improve the release stability of the launch system and the launch safety of the carriers 8. The release interval is 20 seconds, and one round of launch can be completed within two minutes.
[0077] The working principle of the rotating launch device capable of continuously launching satellites 23 is as follows:
[0078] The rotary launch device adopts the technical scheme of ground rotation acceleration, inertial penetration of the atmosphere, and orbit entry by a single-stage engine 22. In this rotary launch scheme, the carrier 8 no longer uses chemical propellants as fuel in the initial acceleration phase, but uses electric energy to drive the accelerator 5, using centrifugal force to accelerate the carrier 8, and the carrier 8 relies on the initial speed inertial flight to leave the atmosphere, and then the carrier 8, under the action of the engine 22, sends the satellite 23 into the predetermined orbit.
[0079] The orbital altitude of the low-orbit small satellite 23 is 120km~600km, the length of a single support arm of the rotating support mechanism 3 is 50m, the mass of the small satellite 23 is 40kg~300kg, the exit speed of the carrier 8 is greater than 10 Mach, the rotation speed of the rotating support mechanism 3 is greater than 650r / min, and when the carrier 8 inertially flies to more than 100km, the engine 2222 ignites for boost and enters the active flight phase.
[0080] The environmental control equipment 7 can evacuate the interior of the launch cabin 2 to a medium vacuum level within 1 hour. The loading device 4 can quickly complete the loading of 6 carriers 8, and the loading time is 1 minute. The accelerator 5 can accelerate the rotating support mechanism 3 to 650r / min within 90 minutes. In order to prevent the continuous launch of multiple carriers 8 from affecting each other, the launch interval must be more than 20 seconds. It takes 2 minutes to launch 6 carriers 8. The braking and deceleration of the rotating support mechanism 3 can be completed within 30 minutes, and it takes 3 hours to complete a round of launch. It is expected that 48 carriers 8 can be launched in one day.
