[0025] The application is described in combination with the drawings.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , the application discloses a radial bearing separation device, which comprises a large O-shaped ring 1, a sealing plug 2, a medicine box 3, a small O-shaped ring 4, a shell 5, a piston 6, a shearing piece 7, a bolt 8, a flat washer 9 and an igniter 10.

[0027] The central hole of the shell 5 along the axial direction is a multi-section inner hole with different diameters, comprising a sealing plug installation inner hole, a piston installation inner hole and a shearing piece installation inner hole, and a straight groove is arranged at the bottom of the piston installation inner hole; two small O-shaped rings 4 are installed in two annular grooves of the piston 6, the large O-shaped ring 1 is installed in an annular groove of the shell 5, the medicine box 3 is fixedly connected by epoxy glue in the sealing plug hole, the two ears of the shearing piece 7 are matched and installed into the straight groove at the bottom of the piston installation inner hole of the shell, the piston 6 is installed into the shell 5 to press the shearing piece 7, the sealing plug 2 with the medicine box 3 is screwed into the shell 5 to press the piston 6, two flat washers 9 are respectively installed into two installation holes of the igniter 10 of the shell 5, two igniters 10 are respectively installed into the installation holes of the shell 5 to press the flat washers 9, and the bolt 8 is a separate part.

[0028] When the radial bearing separation device is installed, the device body (other than the bolt) is pre-installed on the mounting flange of the shell 5 Figure 1 The structure shown inside, generally used in the structure of the circumference of the device body is installed in several places, Figure 1 The separation piece is loaded from the axial direction of the structure Figure 1 (Downward direction), and the axially distributed device body is connected to the structure by the bolt 8.

[0029] In the installed state of the radial bearing separation device, the axial load on the separation piece acts on the outer circle of the bolt 8, which bears the load in its radial direction by cooperating with the hole of the shell 5, and the shell 5 bears the radial load on the bolt 8 by cooperating with the hole of the structure, so that the entire radial bearing separation device remains stable, can bear the radial load on the bolt 8, and can maintain the reliable connection between the structure and the separation piece.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, the igniter 10 mounting hole of the radial bearing separation device is connected to the two small holes inside the shell 5 to transfer the ignition energy of the igniter 10, and the inner hole of the shell 5 has a straight groove at the bottom of the mounting hole of the piston 6, as Figure 5 shown, the two ears of the shear piece 7 are installed in cooperation with the straight groove to prevent the shear piece 7 from rotating during installation with the bolt 8; during installation between the bolt 8 and the shear piece 7, the shear piece 7 is twisted by the ears of the shear piece 7 and the straight groove of the inner hole of the shell to realize the axial bearing force of the shear piece 7; the axial bearing force of the shear piece 7 is realized by the axial compression of the piston 6 on the bottom of the hole of the shell mounting piston; the hole of the shell 5 is cooperated with the hole of the structure to bear the radial load on the bolt 8 after installation.

[0031] As Figure 4 shown, the inner hole of the sealing plug 2 is used to install the cartridge 3, and two small cylinders are designed on the end face of the sealing plug 2 to press the piston 6 while maintaining the cartridge 3 and the two small holes at the bottom of the igniter 10 mounting hole of the shell 5 unobstructed, ensuring that the ignition energy reaches the cartridge smoothly to achieve reliable ignition.

[0032] When the radial bearing separation device is working, after the igniter 10 receives the ignition signal, the igniter 10 works to produce high-temperature gas, which reaches the surface of the cartridge 3 after passing through the corresponding small hole of the shell 5, igniting the cartridge 3, which works to produce high-pressure gas, pushing the piston 6 to move, cutting the shear piece 7 from the two side ears, and continuing to push the combination of the bolt 8 and the remaining part of the shear piece 7 to fly outwards, realizing the separation function, and the piston moves to the bottom of the hole of the shell 5, filling the inner hole of the bolt 8, maintaining the flatness of the end face after separation under the action of gas pressure, to maintain good aerodynamic shape.

[0033] Portions of the disclosure which are not specifically recited herein are deemed to be known by those skilled in the art.
