Detailed Implementation

[0061] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a rocket launch pad leveling control method, comprising:

[0063] A controller is applied to the launch pad lower support leg 2 and tilt sensor, which are electrically connected to the rocket launch pad. The launch pad lower support leg 2 includes a first lower support leg group and a second lower support leg group, which are spaced apart.

[0064] The method includes:

[0065] Step 11: After the rocket launch pad is assembled, the controller obtains the first tilt angle of the rocket launch pad relative to the preset axis.

[0066] Step 12: Based on the first tilt angle, obtain the first leveling distance of the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad;

[0067] Step 13: Based on the first leveling distance, control the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad to raise and lower, thereby leveling the rocket launch pad.

[0068] In this embodiment, after the rocket launch pad is assembled, the controller acquires a first tilt angle of the rocket launch pad relative to a preset axis; based on the first tilt angle, a first leveling distance of the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad is obtained; based on the first leveling distance, the controller controls the raising and lowering of the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad to level the rocket launch pad. This allows for automatic control of the lower support leg of the launch pad, automatically adjusting its height according to the tilt angle of the rocket launch pad relative to the axis, thus leveling the rocket launch pad, improving leveling efficiency and accuracy, and ensuring the safe launch of the rocket.

[0069] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 11, obtaining the first tilt angle of the rocket launch pad relative to the axis, includes:

[0070] Step 111: After the rocket launch pad is assembled, raise all the lower support legs 2 of the launch pad.

[0071] Step 112: Activate the tilt sensor installed on the rocket launch pad to automatically detect the first tilt angle of the rocket launch pad relative to the preset axis and transmit the data of the first tilt angle to the controller;

[0072] Among them, the preset axis is a vertical axis.

[0073] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 12 may include:

[0074] Step 121: Based on the first tilt angle, obtain the first height difference between the first lower support leg assembly and the preset position;

[0075] Step 122: Based on the first tilt angle, obtain the second height difference between the second lower support leg assembly and the preset position;

[0076] Step 123: Based on the first height difference and the second height difference, obtain the first leveling distance that the lower support leg of the launch pad needs to be adjusted.

[0077] In this embodiment, the launch pad lower support leg 2 is provided with a total of 8 legs, wherein the first lower support leg group includes: first lower support leg 21, third lower support leg 23, fifth lower support leg 25, and seventh lower support leg 27; the second lower support leg group includes: second lower support leg 22, fourth lower support leg 24, sixth lower support leg 26, and eighth lower support leg 28; the first lower support leg group and the second lower support leg group are arranged at intervals.

[0078] Step 121 may include:

[0079] Step 1211: The controller judges the first tilt angle data. If the first tilt angle is greater than 30′, it is determined that the rocket launch pad is uneven, that is, the rocket launch pad needs to be leveled and a horizontal position is preset.

[0080] Step 1212: Based on the first tilt angle, obtain the highest point position of the first lower support leg assembly;

[0081] Step 1213: Obtain the first height difference based on the height difference between the highest point of the first lower support leg assembly and the preset horizontal position;

[0082] Step 122 may include:

[0083] Step 1221: The controller judges the first tilt angle data. If the second tilt angle is greater than 30′, it is determined that the rocket launch pad is uneven and needs to be leveled.

[0084] Step 1222: Based on the first tilt angle, obtain the highest point position of the second lower support leg assembly;

[0085] Step 1223: Obtain the second height difference based on the height difference between the highest point of the second lower support leg assembly and the preset horizontal position;

[0086] Step 123 may include:

[0087] Based on the first height difference and the second height difference, the leveling distance H1 of the first lower outrigger group and the leveling distance H2 of the second lower outrigger group are obtained.

[0088] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 13 may include:

[0089] Step 131: Adjust the first height difference so that the first lower support leg assembly is adjusted to a preset position;

[0090] Step 132: Adjust the second height difference so that the second lower support leg assembly is adjusted to a preset position.

[0091] In this embodiment, the four legs of the first lower support leg group are lowered simultaneously, and the feeler gauge is used to confirm that the four legs have been lowered to the preset horizontal position.

[0092] Then lower the four outriggers of the second lower outrigger group, and confirm with a feeler gauge that all eight outriggers have been lowered to the preset horizontal position;

[0093] After the launch pad's lower support leg 2 has been lowered as described in Article 8, the tilt angle of the launch pad relative to the vertical axis is detected again by the tilt sensor, and the controller determines whether the tilt angle is less than or equal to 30′. If the tilt angle is less than or equal to 30′, the leveling is completed.

[0094] In this embodiment, the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad is divided into two groups of lower support legs for step-by-step descent and leveling. This can improve the leveling accuracy while maintaining the support of the lower support legs on the rocket launch pad, ensuring that the rocket launch pad will not shake significantly during the leveling process.

[0095] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the rocket launch pad leveling method further includes:

[0096] Step 14: After the core first-stage rocket is installed on the lifting platform 3, obtain the second tilt angle of the core first-stage rocket relative to the preset axis;

[0097] Step 15: Based on the second tilt angle, obtain the second leveling distance of the core stage support disk 31 connected to the core stage rocket;

[0098] Step 16: Based on the second leveling distance, control the lifting and lowering of the core stage support disk 31 to level the core stage rocket.

[0099] In this embodiment, the core first-stage rocket is installed on the lifting platform 3 and connected to four core first-stage support plates. The second tilt angle of the core first-stage rocket relative to the vertical axis is detected by two tilt sensors installed on the top of the core first-stage rocket. The controller judges the second tilt angle data. If the second tilt angle is greater than 1′, it is determined that the core first-stage rocket is not level and needs to be leveled and a horizontal position is preset.

[0100] The controller issues a command to control the core stage support plate to rise and fall diagonally, so that the core stage rocket is leveled to a preset horizontal position. The controller then detects the tilt angle of the core stage rocket relative to the vertical axis again through the tilt sensor. The controller determines whether the second tilt angle is less than or equal to 1′. If the second tilt angle is less than or equal to 1′, the leveling is completed.

[0101] In this embodiment, the core first-stage rocket is supported and leveled at multiple points to ensure its vertical attitude and meet assembly and transportation requirements.

[0102] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the rocket launch pad leveling method further includes:

[0103] Step 17: After the first booster is installed on the booster support plate 4, obtain the third tilt angle of the first booster relative to the preset axis.

[0104] Step 18: Based on the third tilt angle, obtain the third leveling distance of the booster support disk 4;

[0105] Step 19: According to the third leveling distance, control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4 to level the first booster.

[0106] In this embodiment, after the core first-stage rocket is installed and leveled, the launch pad is divided into four quadrants with the core first-stage rocket as the center, and the first booster is hoisted onto the booster support plate 4 in the first quadrant.

[0107] The controller detects the third tilt angle of the first booster relative to the vertical axis using a tilt sensor. The controller then determines whether the third tilt angle is greater than 30′. If the third tilt angle is greater than 30′, the controller determines that the first booster is not level and needs to be leveled to the connection position with the core stage rocket.

[0108] The controller issues a command to control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4, so that the first booster is adjusted to the connection position with the core stage rocket and aligned with the third quadrant of the launch pad;

[0109] The tilt sensor detects the tilt angle of the first booster relative to the vertical axis again. If the tilt angle is less than or equal to 30′, the leveling is completed, and the first booster is connected to the core stage rocket with bolts.

[0110] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the rocket launch pad leveling method further includes:

[0111] Step 20: After the second booster is installed on the booster support plate 4, obtain the fourth tilt angle of the second booster relative to the preset axis.

[0112] Step 21: Based on the fourth tilt angle, obtain the fourth leveling distance of the booster support disk 4;

[0113] Step 22: According to the fourth leveling distance, control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4 to level the second booster.

[0114] In this embodiment, after the core first-stage rocket is installed and leveled, the launch pad is divided into four quadrants with the core first-stage rocket as the center, and the second booster is hoisted onto the booster support plate 4 in the third quadrant.

[0115] The controller detects the fourth tilt angle of the second booster relative to the vertical axis using a tilt sensor. The controller then determines whether the fourth tilt angle is greater than 30′. If the fourth tilt angle is greater than 30′, the controller determines that the second booster is not level and needs to be leveled to the connection position with the core stage rocket.

[0116] The controller issues a command to control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4, so that the first booster is adjusted to the connection position with the core stage rocket and aligned with the third quadrant of the launch pad;

[0117] The tilt sensor detects the tilt angle of the second booster relative to the vertical axis again. If the tilt angle is less than or equal to 30′, the leveling is completed, and the second booster is connected to the core stage rocket with bolts.

[0118] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the rocket launch pad leveling method further includes:

[0119] Step 23: After the third booster is installed on the booster support plate 4, obtain the fifth tilt angle of the third booster relative to the preset axis.

[0120] Step 24: Based on the fifth tilt angle, obtain the fifth leveling distance of the booster support disk 4;

[0121] Step 25: Based on the fifth leveling distance, control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4 to level the third booster.

[0122] In this embodiment, after the core first-stage rocket is installed and leveled, the launch pad is divided into four quadrants with the core first-stage rocket as the center, and the third booster is hoisted onto the booster support plate 4 in the second quadrant.

[0123] The controller detects the fifth tilt angle of the third booster relative to the vertical axis using a tilt sensor. The controller then determines whether the fifth tilt angle is greater than 30′. If the fifth tilt angle is greater than 30′, the controller determines that the first booster is not level and needs to be leveled to the connection position with the core stage rocket.

[0124] The controller issues a command to control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4, so that the first booster is adjusted to the connection position with the core stage rocket and aligned with the second quadrant of the launch pad;

[0125] The tilt sensor detects the tilt angle of the third booster relative to the vertical axis again. If the tilt angle is less than or equal to 30′, the leveling is completed, and the third booster is connected to the core stage rocket with bolts.

[0126] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the rocket launch pad leveling method further includes:

[0127] Step 26: After the fourth booster is installed on the booster support plate 4, obtain the sixth tilt angle of the fourth booster relative to the preset axis.

[0128] Step 27: Based on the sixth tilt angle, obtain the sixth leveling distance of the booster support disk 4;

[0129] Step 28: Based on the sixth leveling distance, control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4 to level the fourth booster.

[0130] In this embodiment, after the core first-stage rocket is installed and leveled, the launch pad is divided into four quadrants with the core first-stage rocket as the center, and the fourth booster is hoisted onto the booster support plate 4 in the fourth quadrant.

[0131] The controller detects the sixth tilt angle of the first booster relative to the vertical axis using a tilt sensor. The controller then determines whether the sixth tilt angle is greater than 30′. If the sixth tilt angle is greater than 30′, the controller determines that the second booster is not level and needs to be leveled to the connection position with the core stage rocket.

[0132] The controller issues a command to control the lifting and lowering of the booster support plate 4, so that the first booster is adjusted to the connection position with the core stage rocket and aligned with the fourth quadrant of the launch pad;

[0133] The tilt sensor detects the tilt angle of the fourth booster relative to the vertical axis again. If the tilt angle is less than or equal to 30′, the leveling is completed, and the fourth booster is connected to the core stage rocket with bolts.

[0134] In the above embodiments, after the core stage rocket is installed and leveled, the four boosters are leveled diagonally and hoisted to the core stage rocket. This avoids the core stage rocket losing its verticality due to center of gravity shift, reduces pressure on the rocket launch pad, improves the connection efficiency between the boosters and the core stage rocket, and ensures the connection quality between the boosters and the core stage rocket.

[0135] In this embodiment, the booster is supported and leveled at multiple points to ensure its vertical orientation and meet assembly and transportation requirements.

[0136] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the rocket launch pad leveling method further includes:

[0137] Step 29: After the core stage rocket and boosters are installed and connected, level the entire rocket.

[0138] Step 30: After the launch pad, the first-stage rocket, and all boosters have been leveled and installed, the second-stage rocket, the third-stage rocket, and the satellite array are installed and fixed in sequence to complete the assembly of the entire rocket.

[0139] Step 31: After the entire rocket is assembled, the tilt sensor detects the tilt angle of the entire rocket relative to the vertical axis.

[0140] Step 32: The controller judges the tilt angle of the entire arrow. If the tilt angle of the entire arrow is greater than 30′, it is determined that the entire arrow is uneven and needs to be leveled.

[0141] Step 33: The controller issues a command to adjust the booster support disks 4 in the second and fourth quadrants with the booster support disks 4 in the first and third quadrants as the axis, so that the tilt angle of the booster support disks 4 in the second and fourth quadrants is less than 21′.

[0142] Step 34: Using the booster support disks 4 in the second and fourth quadrants as the axis, adjust the booster support disks 4 in the first and third quadrants so that the booster support disks 4 in the first and third quadrants are less than 21′.

[0143] Step 35: The tilt sensor detects the tilt angle of the entire rocket in real time and repeatedly adjusts it until the tilt angle of the entire rocket is less than or equal to 30′, thus completing the leveling of the entire rocket.

[0144] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, embodiments of the present invention also propose a rocket launch pad leveling system, comprising:

[0145] A rocket launch pad and a controller electrically connected to the rocket launch pad;

[0146] The rocket launch pad includes:

[0147] Platform 1;

[0148] The launch platform lower support leg 2 is fixedly connected to the platform body 1. The launch platform lower support leg includes a first lower support leg group and a second lower support leg group.

[0149] The first lower support leg group includes: a first lower support leg 21, a third lower support leg 23, a fifth lower support leg 25, and a seventh lower support leg 27;

[0150] The second lower support leg group includes: second lower support leg 22, fourth lower support leg 24, sixth lower support leg 26, and eighth lower support leg 28;

[0151] The first lower support leg assembly and the second lower support leg assembly are spaced apart;

[0152] An angle sensor is installed on the platform 1;

[0153] A rocket leveling device is installed on the platform 1, the rocket leveling device comprising:

[0154] A lifting platform 3 is located at the center of the platform 1, and a core first-level support plate 31 is provided on the lifting platform 3.

[0155] Multiple booster support plates 4 are mounted on the platform 1 and arranged around the lifting platform 3;

[0156] The controller is electrically connected to the tilt sensor, the launch pad lower support leg 2, the core stage support plate 31, and the booster support plate 4, respectively. After the rocket launch pad is assembled, the tilt sensor measures the first tilt angle of the rocket launch pad relative to the preset axis. Based on the first tilt angle, the first leveling distance is obtained. Based on the first leveling distance, the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad is raised and lowered to level the rocket launch pad.

[0157] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rocket launch pad leveling system provides support for rocket hoisting and assembly. At the same time, through the cooperation of tilt sensors and controllers, it can control the lower support legs 2 of the launch pad, the core stage support plate 31, and the multiple booster support plates 4, and quickly adjust the verticality of the launch pad 1, various parts of the rocket, and the entire rocket, ensuring the vertical attitude of the rocket launch pad and the rocket, meeting the assembly and transportation requirements, and ensuring the safe launch of the rocket.

[0158] Multiple tilt sensors are installed on the rocket launch pad, the core stage rocket, and the four boosters to facilitate the detection of tilt angles at various locations.

[0159] The launch pad has eight lower support legs 2, which are divided into two groups according to the interval distribution. The controller can control the two groups of lower support legs separately, thereby improving the leveling accuracy of the rocket launch pad.

[0160] The core stage support disk 31 is installed on the lifting platform 3, and there are a total of 4 disks, which support and level the core stage rocket.

[0161] There are 20 booster support disks 4, evenly distributed in four quadrants. The controller controls each booster support disk 4. When adjusting the booster individually, only 5 booster support disks 4 in the corresponding quadrant are adjusted. When adjusting the entire rocket, 10 booster support disks 4 in two quadrants are simultaneously controlled to rise and fall synchronously, with 5 booster support disks rising and 5 falling at the same time, to avoid the booster support disks 4 being falsely supported.

[0162] The launch pad lower support leg 2, the core stage support plate 31, and the booster support plate 4 are all equipped with a spiral lift mechanism. The controller controls the spiral lift mechanism to control the launch pad lower support leg 2, the core stage support plate 31, and the booster support plate 4 to raise and lower, thereby leveling the rocket launch pad.

[0163] The rocket launch pad leveling control method and system described in the above embodiments of the present invention, after the rocket launch pad is assembled, obtains a first tilt angle of the rocket launch pad relative to a preset axis through the controller; based on the first tilt angle, obtains a first leveling distance of the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad; based on the first leveling distance, controls the raising and lowering of the lower support leg 2 of the launch pad to level the rocket launch pad.
