[0037] Embodiment 1
[0038] As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a multi-barrel rocket cluster hanger includes a mounting frame body 1. The mounting frame body 1 includes a base 1a. A positioning hole 1x is also provided in the middle of the base 1a. The diameter of this hole does not exceed the width of the middle reinforcing rib to avoid affecting the connection strength of the middle reinforcing rib and is used for positioning and installation with the positioning block on the unmanned combat vehicle. A set of mounting holes 1e for connecting with the vehicle are evenly distributed on the base 1a outside this hole.
[0039] Three vertically distributed first vertical plates 1b are vertically connected to the base 1a. A shoulder 1u extends out on both sides of each first vertical plate 1b, and the two shoulders 1u are symmetrically distributed. Mounting blocks 1c are connected to the shoulders on each side of all the first vertical plates 1b. An arc 1z is formed between the shoulder and the first vertical plate 1b. This arc 1z is the space for mounting the rocket launcher 3 mentioned below, and due to the setting of the arc, the first vertical plate has better load-bearing performance.
[0040] Second vertical plates 11b extending vertically upward are provided on each first vertical plate 1b. The second vertical plates 11b have the same structure as the first vertical plates 1b and also include shoulders 1u, arcs 1z, and mounting blocks 1c. The base 1a, the first and second vertical plates 1b, 11b, shoulders, and mounting blocks 1c are integrally made of metal (metal processing or metal die-casting can be used). A positioning surface 1g is provided on the outer side wall of each mounting block 1c, and the positioning surface 1g is perpendicular to the base 1a. Weight-reducing holes 1y are provided on both the first vertical plate 1b and the second vertical plate 11b.
[0041] Elongated circular holes 1d distributed horizontally are provided on each positioning surface 1g. Mounting holes 1f penetrating the mounting block 1c are provided on the positioning surfaces 1g at both ends of the elongated circular holes 1d. A rocket launcher connection assembly 2 is connected to the positioning surface 1g of each mounting block 1c. Four rocket launcher connection assemblies 2 are connected to the mounting frame body 1 to form a four-barrel structure.
[0042] The rocket launcher connection assembly 2 includes a connection block 2a. A pair of positioning inserts 2f corresponding to the elongated circular holes 1d protrude from the outer side wall of one side of the connection block 2a. An arc-shaped protrusion x corresponding to the arc surface of the elongated circular hole extends out at one end of each positioning insert 2f, which is convenient for accurate positioning during installation, so as to effectively ensure that the axis of the rocket launcher connection assembly 2 is parallel to the axis of the mounting frame body 1 after installation.
[0043] Threaded mounting holes 2h are provided on the outer wall of the connection block 2a between the two positioning inserts 2f. A threaded hole 2t is provided on the outer wall of the connection block 2a outside each positioning insert 2f. Screws 1k are arranged in the mounting block 1c, and the rocket launcher connection assembly 2 and the mounting block 1c are connected together by inserting the screws 1k into the mounting holes 1f and the threaded holes 2t.
[0044] A mounting groove 2b is provided on the bottom surface of the connecting block 2a, and a long through groove 2c is provided on the upper surface of the connecting block 2a, and the long through groove 2c is downwardly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting groove 2b. The mounting groove 2b is a dovetail-shaped, T-shaped, L-shaped, or cross-shaped through groove structure. A dovetail groove is preferred.
[0045] A bolt insertion hole 2k coaxially distributed with the threaded mounting hole 2h is provided on the side wall on the other side of the connecting block 2a, and a bolt 2e passing through the bolt insertion hole 2k is provided. One end of the screw rod of the bolt 2e is a threaded section corresponding to the threaded mounting hole 2h, and the other part is a smooth rod. A rotary locking member 2d is provided on the smooth rod located in the long through groove 2c, and the rotary locking member 2d includes a cylindrical body a passing through the smooth rod, a plane b is provided on the cylindrical body a, and a toggle portion 2g extends outwardly on the outer wall of the main body on one side of the plane b, and a cross bar 2f is also extended at one end of the toggle portion 2g, so that the toggle portion is L-shaped as a whole. The rotary locking member 2d is an integrated structure.
[0046] The distance from the center of the circular hole c on the cylindrical body a for passing the bare rod of the bolt 2e to the plane b is smaller than the distance from the center of the through hole 2c to the bottom plane of the mounting groove 2b, so that when the plane b of the rotary locking member 2d is parallel to the bottom plane of the mounting groove, the rotary locking member 2d is in a released state.
[0047] The rotary locking member 2d can also be a cam on a polished rod, and a cross bar 2f is extended from one end of a toggle portion 2g that can drive the toggle portion to rotate, so that the toggle portion is L-shaped as a whole. The locking is completed by rotating the protruding portion of the cam into the mounting groove 2b.
[0048] A rotatable paddle 4 and a shaft elastic retaining ring 4c corresponding to the paddle head are sleeved on the polished rod between the cap of the bolt 2e located outside the connecting block 2a and the connecting block 2a. A locking hole 4a is provided at one end of the paddle 4, and the crossbar 2f is inserted into the locking hole 4a. A hand-held flange 4b extends from the paddle 4 on one side of the locking hole 4a. The rotating locking member can be driven to rotate by turning the hand-held flange, thereby completing locking and releasing.
[0049] A mounting protrusion 3a is provided on the outer surface of the rocket launch tube 3, and the axis of the mounting protrusion 3a is parallel to the axis of the rocket launch tube 3. The mounting protrusion 3a and the rocket launch tube 3 are made of an integrated structure. Here, the mounting protrusion 3a is preferably a dovetail-shaped mounting protrusion 3a. The mounting protrusion 3a is distributed at the center of gravity of the rocket launcher (including the rocket).
[0050] The mounting protrusion 3a is correspondingly inserted into the mounting groove 2b and locked by rotating the locking piece, so that the rocket launch tube 3 and the rocket launch tube connecting assembly 2 are connected.
[0051] Since the installation bumps in the shape of a dovetail are parallel to the axis of the rocket launcher tube, the axis of the installation groove 2b is parallel to the axis of the connecting block 2a, and the axis of the connecting block 2a is parallel to the axis of the mounting frame, it is possible to ensure that the axes of all rocket launcher tubes are parallel to the axis of the mounting frame 1. Thus, the launch trajectory of the rocket is ensured.
[0052] The rocket launcher tubes are hung below the cluster hanger, which is consistent with the direction of the gravity of the launcher tube, and the force condition is good.
[0053] Embodiment 2:
[0054] As Figure 4 shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that: on the first vertical plate 1b, there is no second sheet 11b extending upward, so there are only two mounting blocks 1c symmetrically distributed left and right on the mounting frame 1, and only two rocket launcher tube connection components 2 can be installed, thereby connecting the left and right two rocket launcher tubes 3, and further forming a twin-tube structure.
[0055] Embodiment 3:
[0056] As Figure 5 shown, the difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that: on the second vertical plate 11b, a third vertical plate 111b extends upward in sequence. The second and third vertical plates 11b and 111b have the same structure and also include shoulders and mounting blocks 1c. Therefore, there are three layers of mounting blocks 1c symmetrically distributed left and right on the mounting frame 1, and six rocket launcher tube connection components 2 can be installed, thereby connecting six rocket launcher tubes 3, and further forming a six-tube structure.
[0057] Embodiment 4:
[0058] As Figures 6-9 shown, the difference between Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 1 is that:
[0059] The rocket launcher tube connection component 2 includes a connecting block 2a. On one side wall of the connecting block 2a, a positioning plug 2f corresponding to and mating with the waist-shaped hole 1d protrudes. At both ends of the positioning plug 2f, arc-shaped protrusions x corresponding to the arc surface of the waist-shaped hole extend, which is convenient for accurate positioning during installation, so as to effectively ensure that the axis of the rocket launcher tube connection component 2 is parallel to the axis of the mounting frame 1 after installation.
[0060] On the outer walls of the connecting block 2a at both ends of the positioning plug 2f, a threaded hole 2t is respectively provided. A screw 1k is arranged in the mounting block 1c, and the rocket launcher tube connection component 2 and the mounting block 1c are connected together by inserting the screw 1k into the mounting hole 1f and the threaded hole 2t.
[0061] On the lower surface of the connection block 2a, there is an installation groove 2b corresponding to and mating with the rocket launcher 3. The installation groove 2b is a through groove structure in the shape of a dovetail groove, T-shaped groove, L-shaped groove, or cross-shaped groove. Here, it is preferably a dovetail groove.
[0062] On one end face, a limit baffle 2y is connected by screws, and one end of the installation groove 2b is blocked by the limit baffle 2y to limit the installation bump 3a inserted into the installation groove 2b mentioned below.
[0063] On the upper surface of the connection block 2a, there are bolt holes 2x. The lower ends of the bolt holes 2x communicate with the installation groove 2b. A locking pin 2z is threadedly connected in the bolt holes 2x. The locking pin 2z is a bolt structure, and the lower end of its screw rod is a smooth frustum-shaped structure. A rod-shaped handle 2v is passed through the top cap of the locking pin 2z, and limit blocks are connected to both ends of the handle 2v to prevent the handle 2v from disengaging from the top cap of the locking pin 2z.
[0064] On the outer surface of the rocket launcher 3, there is an installation bump 3a corresponding to and mating with the installation groove 2b. The axis of the installation bump 3a is parallel to the axis of the rocket launcher 3. On the installation bump 3a, there is a second locking hole 3c corresponding to and locking with the frustum-shaped structure at the lower end of the locking pin 2z. The second locking hole 3c is a corresponding tapered hole.
[0065] After the installation bump 3a is correspondingly inserted into the installation groove 2b and forms a limit fit with the limit baffle 2y, by rotating the handle 2v, the lower end of the locking pin 2z is rotated downward into the installation groove 2b to form a locking connection fit with the second locking hole 3c.
[0066] Embodiments 1-4 provided in this application are presented as being vertically installed on the installation platform of an unmanned combat vehicle. This application can also be vertically suspended on an unmanned combat vehicle, such as below the wing of an unmanned aerial vehicle. When suspended below the wing, as Figure 10 shown, rotate the connection block 2a by 180° and connect it to the mounting frame 1. Ensure that the rocket launcher 3 is suspended below the connection block 2a. Since the launcher is hung below the cluster pendant, it is consistent with the direction of the gravity of the launcher, and the force condition is good.
