The landing point control of the solid booster is quite different from that of the liquid booster. The solid booster cannot be shut down. In order to minimize the interference of the solid booster separation process on the launch vehicle and ensure the flight safety of the launch vehicle, the separation process should also be carried out after the solid booster is burned out. The traditional landing point control method cannot meet the above requirements at the same time. How to send a solid booster separation signal at the right time according to the launch vehicle flight status information and the solid booster chamber pressure information, so as to achieve solid booster landing point control under the premise of ensuring the flight safety of the launch vehicle and improve the reliability of the launch vehicle, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0047] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to be able to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features described in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0048] The present invention proposes a method for controlling the landing point of a solid booster of a solid-liquid bundled launch vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0049] Step 1: Collect the launch vehicle status information, including the velocity in the launch inertial coordinate system

[0050] And separation margin ΔW. Among them:

[0051] W=K1V x +K2V y +K3V z +K4x+K5y+K6z

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] Wherein, K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 and K6 are constants, which are calculated based on the preset nominal trajectory and each deviation trajectory. In this embodiment, the values ​​are [1 0.7 -0.0006 0.003 0.003 0]; is a constant, and is the nominal velocity in the preset launch inertial coordinate system, and It is the nominal position in the preset launch inertial coordinate system.

[0055] In this embodiment, the separation margin of the solid booster is calculated in each cycle according to a preset period, and the preset period is 20 ms, which is equal to the period in which the navigation system provides navigation information.

[0056] Step 2: Determine whether the solid booster separation margin ΔW is not greater than zero; if it is less than or equal to zero, calculate the chamber pressure value of the solid booster.

[0057] The method for judging whether the solid booster separation margin ΔW is not greater than zero is:

[0058] If ΔW n ≤0, it is judged that the solid booster separation margin is less than or equal to zero, ΔW n is the solid booster separation margin for the current cycle;

[0059] If 0<ΔW n ≤3ΔW n-1 / 5, ΔW n-1 is the solid booster separation margin of the previous cycle, then it is required to start from the current time Δt n After that, it is judged that the solid booster separation margin is less than or equal to zero; among which,

[0060]

[0061] In the formula, Δt n The unit is milliseconds;

[0062] If ΔW n >3ΔW n-1 / 5 and ΔW n >0, wait for the next judgment cycle to make a judgment.

[0063] In this embodiment, the launch vehicle has four solid boosters, and the chamber pressure values ​​are recorded as P1, P2, P3, and P4 respectively; the chamber pressure value P of the i-th (i=1, 2, 3, 4) solid booster is collected. i The specific method is: collect the pressure data of the three-way pressure sensors of the i-th booster and sort them, from large to small, respectively, P i1 , P i2 and P i3 ; Calculate the pressure data deviation value:

[0064] ΔP i12 =P i1 -P i2 , ΔP i23 =P i2 -P i3

[0065] In the formula, ΔP i12 , ΔP i23 is the pressure data deviation value of the i-th solid booster;

[0066] According to the pressure data deviation value, the chamber pressure value of each solid booster is calculated:

[0067] If ΔP i12 <ΔP i23 , then P i =(P i1 +P i2 ) / 2;

[0068] If ΔP i12 =ΔP i23 , then P i =(P i1 +P i2 +P i3 ) / 3;

[0069] If ΔP i12 >ΔP i23 , then P i =(P i2 +P i3 ) / 2.

[0070] Step 3: Determine whether the solid booster chamber pressure meets the separation requirements. G And P2<P G And P3<P G And P4<P G , P G is the separation chamber pressure judgment threshold required by the design. If the solid booster chamber pressure meets the separation requirements, the solid booster separation condition is met and a solid booster separation signal is issued. Otherwise, the solid booster chamber pressure does not meet the separation requirements, and step 2 is entered to continue collecting the solid booster chamber pressure value.

[0071] The calculation starts at t0 seconds after the launch vehicle takes off. f If the solid booster separation signal is not issued within 1 second, the solid booster separation signal is issued; t0 is the allowable separation time of the solid booster, t f is the scheduled separation time of the solid booster, which is calculated based on the nominal flight trajectory of the launch vehicle.

[0072] A solid-liquid bundled launch vehicle solid booster landing point control system, comprising a solid booster separation margin calculation module, a solid main thruster chamber pressure calculation module, and a separation signal issuance judgment module;

[0073] The solid booster separation margin calculation module is used to calculate the separation margin;

[0074] The solid booster chamber pressure calculation module is used to collect and calculate the chamber pressure value of the solid booster;

[0075] The separation signal sending judgment module is used to judge the solid booster separation signal within a specified time interval, and send a solid booster separation signal when the launch vehicle status meets the solid booster separation requirements.

[0076] Through the application of the present invention, the landing point of the solid booster can be effectively controlled under the premise of ensuring the safe flight of the carrier rocket. The flight test results show that the lateral deviation of the landing point of the solid booster is within 10km and the longitudinal deviation is within 20km.
