TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of barrel and missile separation, in particular to a space barrel and missile separation auxiliary support mechanism and a launch barrel. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of aerospace technology, space barrel and missile separation is a major trend in future development and is also a guarantee of international status and strategic deterrence for each country. Currently, the missile body is mainly installed in the launch barrel, and the two are carried in the form of a combination in the launch platform such as a rocket for launching. The launch barrel needs to withstand various load conditions during transportation, launching and flight to ensure the reliability of the connection and complete the barrel and missile separation after flying to the specified height. In order to ensure the controllability of the separation attitude, an auxiliary support is often provided on the surface of the missile body to match the guide rail of the launch barrel, which is used for supporting and sliding separation of the missile body.
[0003] The traditional auxiliary support mainly adopts hard contact sliding with no gap, which has the following disadvantages: 1. The machining tolerance control is extremely strict. If the gap between the auxiliary support and the guide rail is too large, the supporting effect will be lost, and if the gap is too small, the separation will be stuck. 2. The friction between the auxiliary support and the guide rail is large and difficult to control during the design process, which requires multiple tests and verification, and is easy to damage the coating of the guide rail, seriously reducing the service life. 3. The hard contact connection mode generates a large load during flight and vibration, which is not conducive to the lightweight design of the launch barrel. 4. Hard contact can easily cause deformation of the launch barrel guide rail, which may affect the smoothness of separation, and even affect the smooth completion of the flight mission. SUMMARY

[0044] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. 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 all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] As Figures 1-11The shown application includes front auxiliary support 1 and rear auxiliary support 2. The front auxiliary support 1 is evenly installed on the front end of the surface of the projectile body 3, including an upper cylinder 11, a compression spring 12, a lower cylinder 13, a limiting screw 14, and a locking pin 15. The front auxiliary support 1 is tightly attached to the launch tube guide rail 4 through the internal compression spring 14, and the attachment arc is set to 180°. In order to reduce the friction between the auxiliary supports as much as possible, the surface of the launch tube guide rail 4 needs to be coated, and the arc surface attachment design is adopted, and the surface roughness of both is set to 0.8. The launch tube guide rail 4 needs to use the same material and surface treatment method as the upper cylinder (11), so as to ensure that the friction between them is a constant value, and the service life can be greatly improved. The rear auxiliary support 2 is gap fitted with the launch tube guide rail 4, and the attachment arc is set to 160°, which is used to prevent the vibration of the projectile body during flight from being too large. The front auxiliary support 1 and the rear auxiliary support 2 are evenly installed on the surface of the projectile body 3 through the concave hole 5, which is used to adjust the radial error caused by processing and assembly, and to ensure that the arc centers of the auxiliary supports and the launch tube guide rail are coaxial. The lower cylinder 13 is provided with a clamping groove inside to cooperate with the limiting screw 14, which is used to realize the collection and fixation of the rear auxiliary support after the separation of the cylinder and the projectile, and to ensure that there is no excess space.
[0047] The compression spring 12 is installed between the upper cylinder 11 and the lower cylinder 13, and the spring compression stroke is determined by the distance between them. The compression spring 12 needs to be matched with the friction between the coated launch tube guide rail 4 and the upper cylinder 11. The stiffness dispersion of the compression spring 12 on the three front auxiliary supports 1 should not be greater than 10%, which ensures that the launch tube is evenly stressed in three directions, so as to ensure that the pressure between the auxiliary support and the launch tube guide rail is small, and the upper cylinder and the launch tube guide rail are attached with a specific pressure value. The coating treatment plays a protective and lubricating role for the launch tube guide rail 4, reducing the friction between the auxiliary support and the launch tube guide rail. The limiting screw 14 is distributed on both sides of the front auxiliary support 1, which is fixed through the limiting screw hole at the lower end of the upper cylinder 11. The limiting screw 14 extends to the clamping groove 16 of the lower cylinder on both sides.
[0048] When the front auxiliary support 1 is separated from the launch tube guide rail 4, the front auxiliary support moves outward under the action of the compression spring 12, and through the cooperation of the limiting screw 14 and the clamping groove 16, the collection and fixation of the front auxiliary support 1 after the separation of the cylinder and the projectile are realized. The limiting screw 14 at this place adopts a redundant design on both sides to prevent the impact caused by separation from being too large, causing the front auxiliary support to fly out after separation. Redundant design means that there is a limiting screw 14 and a clamping groove 16 on both sides of the front auxiliary support 1. Through redundant design, even if one of the limiting screws 14 fails, the reliable collection of the front auxiliary support 1 after separation can still be completed, as shown in Figure 11
[0049] The locking pin 15 needs to be matched with the internal locking hole of the upper cylinder body 11 and the lower cylinder body 13, and in the ground assembly process, the auxiliary support 1 needs to be compressed by a tool to insert the locking pin, and the ground assembly of the front auxiliary support 1 is completed. At this time, the front auxiliary support 1 and the launch cylinder guide rail 4 need to ensure a spacing of more than 5 mm to facilitate the assembly of the projectile and the launch cylinder. After the assembly of the cylinder projectile combination is completed, the locking pin 15 needs to be pulled out to release the compressed spring 12, so as to ensure the fit of the front auxiliary support 1 and the launch cylinder guide rail 4. The outer side of the locking pin 15 is processed with a threaded section 18, so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the locking pin 15.
[0050] Specifically, in the embodiment, the use mode of the space cylinder projectile separation auxiliary support mechanism of the application comprises:
[0051] 1. As shown in the figure, the ground assembly steps are as follows: Figure 9
[0052] Firstly, the rear auxiliary support 2 and the lower cylinder body 13 are connected with the projectile 3, the compressed spring 12 is placed in the lower cylinder body 14, and the upper cylinder body 11 is placed above the compressed spring 12;
[0053] Secondly, the upper cylinder body 11 is driven by a tool to compress the compressed spring 12 until the upper cylinder body 11 is fitted with the lower cylinder body 13, at this time, the corresponding locking holes of the upper cylinder body 11 and the lower cylinder body 13 are coincided, the locking pin 15 is inserted, and the ground locking of the front auxiliary support 1 is completed;
[0054] Thirdly, the assembly of the two limiting screws 14 is completed, and the screws enter the clamping grooves 16 in the lower cylinder.
[0055] 2. As shown in the figure, the assembly to the flight state steps are as follows: Figure 10
[0056] Firstly, the general assembly of the cylinder projectile combination is completed;
[0057] Secondly, the radial installation positions of the front and rear auxiliary supports are adjusted through the concave holes 5 on the end faces of the auxiliary supports, so as to ensure that the centers of the auxiliary supports are coaxial with the center of the launch cylinder guide rail 4;
[0058] Thirdly, the front auxiliary support 1 is fitted with the launch cylinder guide rail 1 by cooperating the threaded section 151 of the locking pin with the disassembly tool and completing the disassembly.
[0059] 3. As shown in the figure, the state of the front auxiliary support 1 after the cylinder projectile separation is as follows: Figure 11
[0060] When the barrel bomb is separated, the front auxiliary support 1 is separated from the barrel guide rail 4, at this time, the compression spring 12 loses the upper end constraint, and pushes the upper barrel body 11 to move outward to the limit screw 14 and the clamping groove 16 to complete the clamping.
