Since the demand for restraint force of the missile fixing mechanism is contrary in different conditions, the missile fixing mechanism is generally composed of explosive bolts, longitudinal locks or separation nuts and other pyrotechnics. In transportation and storage conditions, the pyrotechnic unlocking device has strong restraint capability, and before launching, the pyrotechnic unlocking device is unlocked through an ignition circuit, thereby releasing the restraint of the missile. However, in actual use, the pyrotechnic missile fixing device has high cost, increases the complexity of electricity and timing, and has strong rigidity, poor energy absorption and poor anti-vibration effect, which is not conducive to the storage and transportation of the missile.

[0032] The present application will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present application, but do not limit the present application in any form. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application. These are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] As shown in Figs. 1-3 , the present application includes missile 1, missile tail hook 2, tube body 3, support ring 4, gas generator 5, solid missile support 6, solid missile bolt 7, solid missile arc plate 8 and rear cover 9. Four missile tail hooks 2 are evenly distributed around the end face of the missile 1, the outer wall of the missile tail hook 2 is arc-shaped and is limited in the inner wall of the annular support ring 4 with a U-shaped cross section. The upper surface of the support ring 4 is attached to the missile 1, and the lower surface of the support ring 4 is attached to the solid missile support 6. One of the four missile tail hooks 2 is an inner recessed solid missile arc plate 8 that can elastically deform, the solid missile arc plate 8 is connected to the solid missile support 6 through the solid missile bolt 7, and the solid missile support 6 is connected to the tube body 3 and the rear cover 9.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the axial freedom of the missile 1 in use is sequentially transmitted to the tube body 3 and the rear cover 9 through the missile tail hook 2, the solid missile arc plate 8, the solid missile bolt 7, the solid missile support 6, and finally the tube body 3 and the rear cover 9. The swing freedom of the missile 1 is transmitted to the solid missile support 6 through the elastic deformation of the solid missile arc plate 8 and the swing freedom of the solid missile bolt 7, and finally transmitted to the tube body 3 and the rear cover 9.

[0036] Specifically, in the embodiment, the invention exists pre-tightening force in the transport and storage state, the solid missile arc plate 8 is in a compressed state, the missile tail hook 2 is subjected to an expansion force and is transmitted to the support ring 4, thereby forming a larger friction force. The deformation of the solid missile arc plate 8 is less than the design value before the solid missile arc plate 8 reaches instability, at which time the missile tail hook 2 is in the annular constraint of the support ring 4, and the constraint is reliable.

[0037] Specifically, in the embodiment, the invention ignites the gas generator 5 under the launch condition, and the high-pressure and high-temperature gas generated by the gas generator 5 impacts the solid missile arc plate 8. The solid missile arc plate 8 has a large area and is directly opposite the gas generator 5. Under the action of the high-temperature gas pressure, the material of the solid missile arc plate 8 weakens and the whole deforms forward. The missile tail hook 2 obtains a certain release stroke, the missile 1 moves forward and leaves the solid missile effective range of the support ring 4, the annular constraint of the missile tail hook 2 is released, the missile 1 continues to move forward, the missile tail hook 2 pulls the solid missile arc plate 8 and transmits the pulling force to the solid missile bolt 7. Under the joint action of the solid missile bolt 7 and the missile tail hook 2, the solid missile arc plate 8 loses stability and turns over, the constraint of the missile tail hook 2 is released, and the solid missile mechanism completes the unlocking action.

[0038] Specifically, in the embodiment, the solid missile arc plate 8 is an arc-shaped unstable structure that will turn over and lose stability when the central pressure reaches a certain value, release the constraint, and achieve unlocking.

[0039] Specifically, in the embodiment, the constraint stroke of the support ring 4 on the missile tail hook 2 matches the instability stroke of the solid missile arc plate 8.

[0040] Specifically, in the embodiment, the solid missile arc plate 8 is connected with the solid missile support 6 through the solid missile bolt 7 with a swing degree of freedom.

[0041] Specifically, in the embodiment, the solid missile arc plate 8 is directly opposite the upper nozzle of the gas generator 5. Under the initial high-temperature gas pressure sprayed by the gas generator 5, the solid missile arc plate 8 produces reverse deformation and material weakening.

[0042] Specifically, in the embodiment, its feature is that after the missile tail hook 2 leaves the support ring 4, it expands outward under the extrusion of the solid missile arc plate 8, which is conducive to the instability separation of the solid missile arc plate 8.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiment, the swing degree of freedom of the solid missile bolt 7 and the solid missile arc plate 8 and the missile tail hook 2 realize the flexible adaptation function of the missile 1 in the transportation process.

[0044] Specifically, in the embodiment, under the condition of axial movement of the missile 1, the extrusion force between the solid missile arc plate 8 and the missile tail hook 2 increases, which leads to the increase of the friction force between the missile tail hook 2 and the support ring 4, thereby achieving the function of dissipating kinetic energy.
