Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rocket engines and relates to a device for testing the load-bearing capacity of a single shear pin used in the connection of solid rocket motor sections. Background Technology

[0002] In multi-pulse solid-state engines, cylindrical pins with external straps are generally used for axial positioning and connection between sections. The length of such cylindrical pins is generally less than twice the pin diameter. The axial load between sections is mainly applied to the outer surface of the cylindrical pin in the form of single shear. Therefore, the single shear load-bearing capacity of the cylindrical pin directly affects the connection reliability of the engine product. Thus, it is crucial to accurately test the single shear load-bearing capacity of the cylindrical pin.

[0003] The current testing device and method for the shear bearing capacity of cylindrical pins are basically modified based on GB / T 13683-1992 "Test Method for Shear Pins". It is more suitable for testing the double shear bearing capacity of pins, but not for the single shear bearing capacity of pins. In addition, it requires that the length of the cylindrical pin be not less than four times the pin diameter. Therefore, this testing device is not suitable for testing the single shear bearing capacity of cylindrical pins used for solid engine compartment connections. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a device for testing the single shear load-bearing capacity of cylindrical pins used in the connection of fixed-engine compartments, thus solving the problem that existing cylindrical pin shear load-bearing capacity testing devices are not suitable for testing the single shear load-bearing capacity of cylindrical pins used in the connection of fixed-engine compartments.

[0005] The solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A device for testing the single-shear load-bearing capacity of a cylindrical pin used in the connection of a fixed-engine compartment includes an upper pull plate, a lower pull plate, a locking sleeve, and a cylindrical pin. The lower pull plate is placed vertically. The upper pull plate is placed vertically above the lower pull plate and abuts against the side of the lower pull plate. The cylindrical pin is axially and horizontally embedded at the joint between the upper and lower pull plates. The locking sleeve is fitted onto the outer walls of the upper and lower pull plates. The top of the upper pull plate and the bottom of the lower pull plate are connected to an external universal tensile testing machine. A vertical tensile force is applied to the upper and lower pull plates by the external universal tensile testing machine to test the single-shear load-bearing capacity of the cylindrical pin.

[0009] In the aforementioned single-shear bearing capacity testing device for cylindrical pins used in the connection of fixed-engine compartments, the upper pull plate and the lower pull plate cooperate to install the cylindrical pin in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole; after the docking is completed, the locking sleeve is fitted onto the outer wall of the upper pull plate and the lower pull plate for locking; after the upper pull plate and the lower pull plate are docked, the first locking sleeve limiting step and the second locking sleeve limiting step form an annular step; the shaft end of the locking sleeve is fixed and limited by the annular step.

[0010] In the aforementioned device for testing the single-shear bearing capacity of cylindrical pins used in the connection of fixed-engine compartments, the materials of the upper pull plate, lower pull plate, and locking sleeve have higher hardness and strength than those of the cylindrical pin.

[0011] In the aforementioned device for testing the single-shear bearing capacity of a cylindrical pin used in the connection of a fixed-engine compartment, the thickness of the upper and lower pull plates is 1.6 to 2 times the outer diameter of the cylindrical pin; the diameters of the first and second mounting holes are both 0.05 to 0.1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical pin; the depths of the first and second mounting holes are both 1 to 2 mm larger than 0.5 times the height of the cylindrical pin; the first and second mounting holes are located at the center of the mating surfaces of the upper and lower pull plates, respectively.

[0012] In the aforementioned device for testing the load-bearing capacity of a single shear pin for connecting a fixed-engine compartment, the thickness of both the first locking sleeve limiting step and the second locking sleeve limiting step is 5mm; the upper surfaces of both the first locking sleeve limiting step and the second locking sleeve limiting step are located 0.75 times the outer diameter of the cylindrical pin below the mounting hole; no locking sleeve limiting step is provided on the mating surface of the first locking sleeve limiting step and the second locking sleeve limiting step.

[0013] In the aforementioned device for testing the load-bearing capacity of a cylindrical pin for connecting fixed-engine compartments, the nominal thread size of both the first threaded connecting rod segment and the second threaded connecting rod segment is M12; the effective thread length is not less than 20mm.

[0014] In the aforementioned device for testing the load-bearing capacity of a cylindrical pin single shear for connecting fixed-engine compartments, the locking sleeve is a hollow cubic structure with openings at both the top and bottom; the wall thickness of the locking sleeve is 5mm.

[0015] In the aforementioned device for testing the load-bearing capacity of a cylindrical pin single shear for connecting fixed-engine compartments, the length and width of the inner surface of the locking sleeve are 0.1-0.2 mm larger than the outer surface contour dimensions of the upper and lower pull plates after they are joined.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0017] (1) The present invention uses the form of upper and lower pull plates to install cylindrical pins and perform shear loading, so it can be applied to shear tests of cylindrical pins with different lengths and outer diameters, and is more versatile than the shearing device modified according to the principle of GB / T 13863.

[0018] (2) The present invention adopts the method of upper and lower pull plates and locking sleeve, which can be closer to the actual working conditions of the compartment when the engine product is in service, and can perform single shear load performance testing on the cylindrical pin.

[0019] (3) The present invention provides a device for testing the single shear bearing capacity of cylindrical pins used in the connection of fixed engine compartments, which solves the problem that the existing cylindrical pin shear bearing capacity testing devices are not suitable for testing the single shear bearing capacity of cylindrical pins used in the connection of fixed engine compartments.

The device allows cylindrical pins of different sizes to be installed in their respective mounting holes via an upper pull plate 1 and a lower pull plate 2, achieving a mating connection. A locking sleeve 3 is installed on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower pull plates, and is fixed and limited by locking sleeve limiting steps 13 and 23 on the outer sides of the upper and lower pull plates.
