[0002] To meet the combat requirements of modern war outside the defense zone, the range of cruise missiles is required to be continuously improved. At the same time, the missile is limited by the strict constraints of the space envelope of the carrier aircraft, and is required to reduce the lateral length, adapt to the carrier platform and launching device, and further improve the carrying capacity of the carrier aircraft to have high-density strike capability. The wing folding technology has become the key technology to solve the contradiction between the long range of cruise missiles and the mounting space of the carrier aircraft.

[0003] The commonly used folding mechanisms for missile wings are horizontal folding and longitudinal folding, and the longitudinal folding is mostly used for large-aspect-ratio missile wings. In the storage, transportation and combat readiness state, the missile wing is in a folded state, reducing the wing span, and after the missile is launched, the wing is automatically unfolded. The locking and unlocking device plays the role of reliably locking the wing in the folded state, and after receiving the control system command, it can automatically unlock and drive the wing to unfold, and after the wing is unfolded to the position, it can be reliably locked again.

[0004] Through prior art retrieval, it is found that Chinese patent publication No. CN103644782A discloses a powder actuator unlocking device, which realizes the functions of large initial locking force of the missile wing and small unlocking force during work. However, it has single function and does not have the function of locking the wing after unfolding to the position, and an additional locking mechanism needs to be set; after the piston moves to the position, it does not have the function of position buffer, and the unlocking impact force is large; the unlocking device is installed and used once, and does not have the function of folding adjustment of the missile wing. At the same time, the Y-shaped layout form of the powder actuator output thrust driving the wing surface will cause the layout of the wing assembly to be too long, occupy more space in the direction of the missile axis, and affect the aerodynamic performance of the whole missile.

[0052] As shown in Figures 1-4 , an embodiment of the present application is a large aspect ratio longitudinal folding wing locking and unlocking device, which comprises a piston cylinder, a piston device, an initial locking mechanism, a position locking mechanism, a transmission adapter component and a driving mechanism.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1 , 3 , specifically, the piston cylinder comprises a piston cylinder body 1, a first sealing structure (a first sealing ring 2 and a first sealing ring groove 1c), a metal buffer pad 3, a cylinder cover 4 and a tight screw 5. The screw hole 1a and the square boss provided on the piston cylinder body 1 are the mechanical interface for connecting the piston cylinder and the projectile, and the square boss cooperates with the corresponding hole position on the projectile to play the role of installation positioning, bearing and transmitting the impact load generated by the propellant gas;

[0054] The cylinder cover 4 is installed at one end of the piston cylinder body 1, and the other end of the piston cylinder body 1 is an opening. The first sealing ring groove 1c is provided at the opening, and the first sealing ring 2 is arranged in the first sealing ring groove 1c on the piston cylinder body 1. The first sealing ring 2 is in contact with the piston rod 6 to achieve sealing.

[0055] A limiting surface 1d is provided on the middle annular cavity of the piston cylinder body 1, and a steel ball locking ring groove 1e is provided in the rear end annular cavity. The metal buffer pad 3 is made of aluminum alloy and is transitionally fitted on the inside of the cylinder cover 4. A trapezoidal weakening groove is provided on one side of the metal buffer pad 3, which is beneficial to the material deformation and energy absorption under the action of impact load. The cylinder cover 4 is installed at the end of the piston cylinder body 1 by the tight screw 5.

[0056] The piston device is a driving mechanism of the locking and unlocking device, which is slidingly installed in the piston cylinder, and a specific movement stroke is designed according to the unfolding angle of the wing 20.

[0057] As shown in Figure 1 , 3 , specifically, the piston device comprises a piston rod 6, a second sealing structure (a second sealing ring 7 and a second sealing ring groove 6h) and a limiting block. The front end of the piston rod 6 is provided with a positioning boss 6a and a first external thread 6b, and the main body part is composed of a first cylindrical segment 6c and a second cylindrical cylinder 6d, which are coaxial, and the diameter of the second cylindrical cylinder 6d is larger than that of the first cylindrical segment 6c. The front end of the second cylindrical cylinder 6d is transversely provided with a locking pin hole 6e, one end of which is connected with the locking pin 9, and the end is provided with a limiting plane 6f, and the other end is connected with a gas passage 6g;

[0058] The middle part of the second cylindrical cylinder 6d is provided with the second sealing ring groove 6h and a plurality of steel ball holes 6i, and the rear end is provided with an internal thread 6j in the cylindrical inner cavity. The second sealing ring 7 is installed in the second sealing ring groove 6h on the piston rod 6. The limiting block is specifically a limiting nut 8, which is installed at the rear end internal thread 6j of the piston rod 6 through the second external thread thereon.

[0059] Because the diameter of the second cylindrical cylinder 6d is large, it is limited by the limiting plane 1d in the piston cylinder body 1, and the piston rod 6 cannot slide forward after reaching the limiting position.

[0060] The function of the initial locking mechanism is to lock the piston rod 6 in the initial state, and to release the constraint on the piston rod 6 under the action of gas pressure, which has the characteristics of large locking force and small unlocking force.

[0061] As shown in Figure 1 , 3 , specifically, the initial locking mechanism comprises a locking pin 9, a first compression spring 10, a third sealing structure (a third sealing ring 11 and a third sealing ring groove 9b), a baffle 12 and a countersunk screw 13. The front end of the locking pin 9 is provided with a locking pin shaft 9a, the middle part is hollow columnar, the outer surface is provided with a third sealing ring groove 9b, the inner cavity is provided with a first guide rod 9c, and the end of the first guide rod 9c is provided with an unlocking hole 9d. The third sealing ring 11 is installed in the third sealing ring groove 9b on the locking pin 9. The first compression spring 10 is arranged in the cavity of the locking pin 9, is sleeved on the first guide rod 9c, is guided and supported by the first guide rod 9c, one end of which acts on the rear end of the locking pin 9, and the other end acts on the baffle 12, which is installed on the side wall of the piston cylinder body 1 through a plurality of countersunk screws 13.

[0062] The function of the in-place locking mechanism is to reliably lock the piston rod 6 after the piston rod 6 moves to the position, which adopts a steel ball 16 type locking mechanism and has the characteristic of large locking force.

[0063] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, specifically, the locking mechanism includes a floating piston 14, a second compression spring 15, and a steel ball 16. The floating piston 14 includes a cylindrical guide section 14b and a tapered inclined section 14a. The cylindrical guide section 14b has a hollow cylindrical structure inside and is provided with a second guide rod 14c. The second compression spring 15 is sleeved on the second guide rod 14c.

[0064] The steel ball 16 is placed on the tapered inclined section 14a and simultaneously fitted into the steel ball hole 6i of the piston rod 6, and is squeezed and constrained by the inner wall of the piston cylinder 1.

[0065] The locking mechanism is located inside the second cylindrical tube 6d at the rear end of the piston rod 61. The second compression spring 15, the floating piston 14, and the steel ball 16 are installed in sequence, and the locking mechanism is constrained inside the piston rod 6 by the limit nut 8.

[0066] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the transmission transition component is the connection interface between the locking / unlocking device and the projectile wing 20, and consists of a connecting rod 17 and a nut assembly 18. The connecting rod 17 is installed and engaged with the positioning boss 6a at the front end of the piston rod 6 through the square positioning hole 17b in its middle, which serves to position and restrict the rotation of the connecting rod 17. Finally, it is pre-tightened to the first external thread 6b on the piston rod 6 by the nut assembly 18. The connecting rod 17 is hinged to the connecting rod 21 through the lugs 17a with pivot holes at both ends.

[0067] The drive mechanism is specifically the gas generator 19, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, Figure 3 for Figure 2 The image is a top-down view, specifically a cross-sectional view of surface AA. The gas generator 19 is directly connected to the gas passage 6g, which in turn connects to the locking pin hole 6e, allowing the gas generated by the gas generator 19 to enter the locking pin hole 6e. The gas generator 19 is threaded onto the center of the square boss on the bottom side of the piston cylinder 1, serving as the power source for releasing the initial locking mechanism and driving the piston device. The gas generator 19 is a pyrotechnic component; upon receiving an ignition signal, the gunpowder in the chamber ignites, generating high-temperature, high-pressure gas. The gas generator 19 is connected to the gas passage 6g, and the high-temperature, high-pressure gas first enters the gas passage 6g and then enters the locking pin hole 6e. The locking mechanism is located in the inner cavity of the rear end of the piston rod 6, and then together with the piston device, it is located in the inner cavity of the piston cylinder, forming a sliding pair connection. The initial locking mechanism is located on the left side of the piston cylinder. The gas generator 19 is located on the bottom side of the front end of the piston cylinder. The transmission adapter is located at the front end of the piston device. Various structural components with different functions are modularly arranged on the piston cylinder, resulting in a simple and compact structure.

[0068] Referring to Figure 5 , the layout of the large-aspect-ratio longitudinal unfolding wings of the embodiment of the application is shown in the figure, and the wings 20 are unfolded in the direction opposite to the wind. The wings 20 are hinged to the front end transmission adapter of the locking and unlocking device through the connecting rod 21, and when the piston rod 6 moves, the two wings 20 are simultaneously pulled to rotate around the rotating shaft mechanism 22 through the connecting rod 21. After the wings 20 are unfolded to the position, the in-position locking mechanism locks the piston rod 6, and the movement of the piston rod 6 is restricted to constrain the wings 20, and no additional locking mechanism needs to be arranged.

[0069] The locking and unlocking device is arranged in the same direction as the folding direction of the wing assembly and located on the same plane, and adopts the form of tension to drive the wings to unfold, does not occupy the internal space of the missile body, and has high utilization rate of the height and axial space of the missile body and good aerodynamic performance of the missile.

[0070] The working principle of the folding wing locking and unlocking device provided by the application is as follows:

[0071] In the storage and transportation state and the state of hanging on the machine, the inside of the locking and unlocking device constitutes a sealed cavity through the first sealing ring 2, the second sealing ring 7 and the third sealing ring 11. The locking pin 9 is inserted into the corresponding locking pin hole 6e of the piston rod 6 and is limited by the limiting surface 6f, so that the piston rod 6 is in the initial state of being stretched out and locked. Under the pre-tightening force of the first compression spring 10, the locking pin 9 will not exit the locking pin hole 6e. At this time, the steel ball 16 is constrained by the inner wall of the piston cylinder 1 and contacts the conical inclined section 14a of the floating piston 14, thereby limiting the axial movement of the floating piston 14, so that the second compression spring 15 is in the state of being compressed and stored energy, and the movement stroke of the second compression spring 15 is reserved between the floating piston 14 and the limiting nut 8.

[0072] When the missile is launched, the control system sends a wing 20 unlocking instruction, the gas generator 19 works to generate high-pressure gas, the high-pressure gas enters the locking pin hole 6e through the gas passage 6g, acts on the front end surface of the locking pin 9, pushes the locking pin 9 to move backward against the force of the first compression spring 10, and releases the constraint on the piston rod 6. At the same time, the high-pressure gas enters the piston cylinder cavity to drive the piston rod 6 to move backward at high speed until the piston rod 6 collides with the metal buffer pad 3. At the same time, the steel ball 16 moves to the steel ball locking ring groove 1e in the piston cylinder 1, the steel ball 16 gradually enters the ring groove, the pressure on the conical inclined section 14a begins to decrease, the second compression spring 15 begins to release the pre-tightening pressure, and the floating piston 14 is pushed to move, and then the steel ball 16 is extruded into the steel ball locking ring groove 1e through the steel ball hole 6i, so that the piston rod 6 and the piston cylinder 1 are locked in position.

[0073] When manual unlocking is needed in daily installation, debugging or service treatment, the locking pin 9 is pulled out of the locking pin hole 6e on the piston rod 6 from the unlocking hole 9d at the rear end of the locking pin 9 by using a wire hook, and then the piston rod 6 is manually pushed to move. After locking in place, the radial constraint of the steel ball 16 is removed by pushing the floating piston 14 from the center circular hole of the cylinder cover 4 using a tool, and then the connecting rod 17 is manually pulled to move. The locking and unlocking device can simply realize initial unlocking and in-place unlocking, and is convenient for ground debugging multiple times.

[0074] Those skilled in the art will easily understand that the above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
