Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of missile launcher maintenance and testing in the aerospace technology field, and particularly to a missile loading and target calibration device and its control method that can be quickly deployed and recovered. Background Technology

[0002] Because a certain type of missile slides within guide rails inside the launch tube via its front and rear sliders, both of which are inverted T-shaped structures with a central groove, and both sliders are relatively small, high precision is required for the installation and inspection of components within the missile launch tube. Currently, the launch tube loading process uses a traditional "manual pushing" method, primarily done manually, which heavily relies on worker experience. Furthermore, the existing calibration method suffers from high personnel involvement, reliance on experience, and high labor intensity; separation of loading and calibration, resulting in multiple hoisting steps; outdated calibration methods and insufficient data recording during loading and calibration; and fragmented information, making centralized management difficult and potentially leading to equipment silos.

[0003] With the increasing demand for this type of missile launcher, there is an urgent need for an automatic detection device and control method for missile launchers to reduce the labor intensity of personnel, improve their production efficiency, and ensure the quality control of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a missile loading and calibration device and its control method that can be quickly deployed and recovered, in order to solve the problems of high personnel involvement, high reliance on experience, and high labor intensity in the existing calibration mode; separation of loading and calibration, multiple hoisting steps; outdated calibration methods and insufficient application of data recording in the loading and calibration process; and scattered information that is difficult to centrally manage, which easily leads to the problem of equipment silos.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: to provide a missile loading and target calibration device that can be quickly deployed and recovered, including a missile loading module, a missile target calibration platform and a loading and target calibration host computer control platform;

[0006] The missile launcher calibration platform is used to control the missile's entry and exit from the launch tube and to calibrate the launch tube. Through the feedback of the servo motor in the missile launcher calibration platform, the calibration accuracy of the entire launch tube product is detected, and the data is transmitted to the loading and calibration host computer control platform.

[0007] The missile loading module is used to realize the entry and exit of the missile in the launch tube. Through the feedback of the servo motor in the missile loading module, the loading accuracy of the entire launch tube product is detected, and it is fixed to the tube-missile calibration platform during missile loading.

The target calibration platform foot pad 13 is for convenient stepping by the operator. The remaining parts are mounted on the target calibration platform bracket 8.

[0051] The aforementioned missile launcher calibration platform controls the missile's entry and exit from the launch tube and the completion of the launch tube calibration. Through feedback from the servo motor in the platform, it detects the calibration accuracy of the entire launch tube product and transmits the data to the docking host computer monitoring platform.
