Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerospace systems technology, and in particular to a multi-stage rocket timing test channel reuse system. Background Technology
[0002] Each rocket payload is different. However, in the early stages of design, the ground test equipment has a limited number of acquisition channels for the test sequence. Therefore, as the number of payloads increases and the corresponding number of timing channels increases, the ground test equipment will have insufficient acquisition channels. Changing the ground test equipment is costly and time-consuming. In some cases, it may be impossible to change it and a new system may be developed to meet the required number of acquisition channels for the timing sequence.
[0003] Based on this, the present invention proposes a method for reusing timing test channels for multi-stage rockets. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a multi-stage rocket timing test channel reuse system, comprising: an onboard system and a ground system; the onboard system includes first- and second-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits and additional multi-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits, while the ground system includes first- and second-stage ground-based timing test channel circuits. The first- and second-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits of the onboard system are connected to the first- and second-stage ground-based timing test channel circuits of the ground system via diodes one and two, and the multi-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits of the onboard system are connected to the first- and second-stage ground-based timing test channel circuits of the ground system via diodes three and four.
[0005] As described above, in a multi-stage rocket timing test channel multiplexing system, the on-board timing retrieval circuit for the third and fourth stages includes an isolation optocoupler U1, with a diode D1 connected in parallel to the isolation optocoupler U1. The isolation optocoupler U1 consists of a transistor and a diode. The collector of the transistor is connected to a 5V power supply through a resistor R2, and the emitter is grounded. The negative terminal of the diode in the isolation optocoupler U1 is connected to the low level of the separation timing, and the positive terminal is connected to the high level of the separation timing through a resistor R1. The on-board satellite-rocket separation timing switch S1 is connected to the high level of the separation timing.

The collector of the transistor is connected to a 5V power supply through a resistor R4. The isolation optocoupler U2 consists of a transistor and a diode, with the emitter grounded. The negative terminal of the diode in the isolation optocoupler U2 is connected to the separation timing low level, and the positive terminal is connected to the separation timing high level through a resistor R3. The on-board satellite-rocket separation timing switch S2 is connected to the separation timing high level.
[0007] As described above, a multi-stage rocket timing test channel multiplexing system includes a first and second stage timing ground test channel circuit comprising an isolation optocoupler U3. The isolation optocoupler U3 consists of a transistor and a diode. The collector of the transistor is connected to a 5V power supply through a resistor R6, and the emitter is grounded.
[0008] In the multi-stage rocket timing test channel multiplexing system described above, a diode D3 is connected in parallel with the isolation optocoupler U3. The positive terminal of diode D3 is connected to the separation timing low level of the timing retrieval circuit on the third and fourth stages of the rocket through diode D4, and the positive terminal of diode D3 is connected to the positive terminal of diode D4.
[0009] In the multi-stage rocket timing test channel multiplexing system described above, the positive terminal of diode D3 is connected to the separation timing low level of the timing retrieval circuit on the first and second stage rockets through diode D7, and the positive terminal of diode D3 is connected to the positive terminal of diode D7.
[0010] In the multi-stage rocket timing test channel multiplexing system described above, the negative terminal of diode D3 is first connected to resistor R5, and then connected to the separation timing high level of the timing retrieval circuit on the third and fourth stages of the rocket through diode D5. The negative terminal of diode D3 is connected to resistor R5 and then to the negative terminal of diode D5.
[0011] In the multi-stage rocket timing test channel multiplexing system described above, the negative terminal of diode D3 is connected to resistor R5 and then to the separation timing high level of the timing retrieval circuit on the first and second stage rockets via diode D6, and the negative terminal of diode D3 is connected to resistor R5 and then to the negative terminal of diode D6.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] Example 1
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a multi-stage rocket timing test channel reuse system, including an onboard system and a ground system. The onboard system includes first- and second-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits and additional multi-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits. The ground system includes first- and second-stage time-series ground test channel circuits. The first- and second-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits of the onboard system are connected to the first- and second-stage time-series ground test channel circuits of the ground system via diodes one and two. The multi-stage onboard timing recovery channel circuits of the onboard system are connected to the first- and second-stage time-series ground test channel circuits of the ground system via diodes three and four.
[0018] The multi-stage on-rocket timing feedback circuit includes an isolation optocoupler with a diode connected in parallel. The isolation optocoupler consists of a transistor and a diode. The collector of the transistor is connected to a 5V power supply through a resistor R2, and the emitter is grounded. The negative terminal of the diode in the isolation optocoupler is connected to the separation timing low level (i.e., separation timing-), and the positive terminal is connected to the separation timing high level (i.e., separation timing+) through a resistor. The on-rocket star-rocket separation timing switch is connected to the separation timing high level.
[0019] For example Figure 1 Taking the timing recovery channel circuit of the fourth-stage rocket as an example, the timing recovery channel circuits of other multi-stage rockets are the same as those of the fourth-stage rocket, and will not be described in detail here. In the figure, the timing recovery circuit of the third and fourth stage rockets includes an isolation optocoupler U1, with a diode D1 connected in parallel with the isolation optocoupler U1; the isolation optocoupler U1 consists of a transistor and a diode. The collector of the transistor is connected to a 5V power supply through a resistor R2, and the emitter is grounded. The negative terminal of the diode in the isolation optocoupler U1 is connected to the separation timing low level (i.e., separation timing -), and the positive terminal is connected to the separation timing high level (i.e., separation timing +) through a resistor R1. The rocket-satellite separation timing switch S1 is connected to the separation timing high level.
[0020] The timing feedback circuit on the first and second stage rockets includes an isolation optocoupler U2. The collector of the transistor is connected to a 5V power supply through a resistor R4. The isolation optocoupler U2 consists of a transistor and a diode, with the emitter grounded. The negative terminal of the diode in the isolation optocoupler U2 is connected to the separation timing low level (i.e., separation timing-), and the positive terminal is connected to the separation timing high level (i.e., separation timing+) through a resistor R3. The on-board star-rocket separation timing switch S2 is connected to the separation timing high level.
[0021] The first and second level timing ground test channel circuit includes an isolation optocoupler U3, which consists of a transistor and a diode. The collector of the transistor is connected to a 5V power supply through a resistor R6, and the emitter is grounded.
[0022] A diode D3 is connected in parallel with the isolation optocoupler U3. The anode of diode D3 is connected to the low-level separation timing of the multi-stage arrow timing feedback circuit via diode D4, and the anode of diode D3 is connected to the anode of diode D4. The anode of diode D3 is connected to the low-level separation timing of the first and second stage arrow timing feedback circuit via diode D7, and the anode of diode D3 is connected to the anode of diode D7. The cathode of diode D3 is first connected to resistor R5, and then to the high-level separation timing of the multi-stage arrow timing feedback circuit via diode D5, and the cathode of diode D3 is connected to the cathode of diode D5 after resistor R5. The cathode of diode D3 is connected to resistor R5, and then to the high-level separation timing of the first and second stage arrow timing feedback circuit via diode D6, and the cathode of diode D3 is connected to the cathode of diode D6 after resistor R5.
[0023] For example, such as Figure 1 The four-stage rocket timing test channel multiplexing system shown has a diode D3 connected in parallel with the isolation optocoupler U3. The anode of diode D3 is connected to the low-level separation timing of the third and fourth stage rocket timing retrieval circuit via diode D4, and the anode of diode D3 is also connected to the anode of diode D4. The anode of diode D3 is connected to the low-level separation timing of the first and second stage rocket timing retrieval circuit via diode D7, and the anode of diode D3 is also connected to the anode of diode D7. The cathode of diode D3 is first connected to resistor R5, and then to the high-level separation timing of the third and fourth stage rocket timing retrieval circuit via diode D5, with the cathode of diode D3 connected to resistor R5 and then to the cathode of diode D5. The cathode of diode D3 is then connected to resistor R5, and then to the high-level separation timing of the first and second stage rocket timing retrieval circuit via diode D6, with the cathode of diode D3 connected to resistor R5 and then to the cathode of diode D6.
[0024] Based on the timing sequence characteristics of each stage of a rocket, this invention designs a ground test channel for multiplexing timing sequences at each stage. Thus, when there are too many satellite payloads and additional timing sequences are needed, the extra onboard timing recovery circuits for the third and fourth stages are led to the first and second stage timing ground test channel via diodes D4 and D5. Similarly, the onboard timing recovery circuits for the first and second stages are also led to the first and second stage timing ground test channel via diodes D6 and D7. Furthermore, by isolating the different onboard timing output interfaces of the multiplexed channel, the timing outputs and recovery of different onboard stages using the same ground test channel do not interfere with each other.
[0025] During simulated flight testing, when the first and second stage flight sequence timings are activated, diodes D4 and D5 isolate the first and second stage timing levels from the third and fourth stage timings. Therefore, the on-board sampling circuit for the third and fourth stages cannot capture the changes in the first and second stage timing levels. Conversely, if the third and fourth stage satellite-rocket separation timings are activated during simulated flight testing, diodes D6 and D7 isolate the first and second stage timings from the third and fourth stage satellite-rocket separation timing levels. Therefore, the on-board sampling circuit for the first and second stages cannot capture the changes in the third and fourth stage satellite-rocket separation timing levels.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
