The auxiliary device for assembling a single-component liquid rocket engine according to claim 3, characterized in that: The longitudinal moving member (53) includes Two conveyor belts (531) are arranged in parallel on opposite sides of the long side of the crossbar (521). The crossbar (521) is located between the belt surface of the conveyor belt (531) and the upper horizontal section of the frame (1), and the side of the crossbar (521) away from the electromagnet (522) can be placed on the belt surface of the conveyor belt (531).

5. The auxiliary device for assembling a single-component liquid rocket engine according to claim 1, characterized in that: The pressing unit (6) includes A pressing plate (61) is arranged parallel to the top wall of the placement platform (2), and the pressing plate (61) is located above the connecting rod (43); A cylinder (62) is connected to the frame (1), and the piston rod of the cylinder (62) is perpendicularly connected to the press plate (61).

6. The auxiliary device for assembling a monocomponent liquid rocket engine according to claim 1, characterized in that: Multiple self-locking rollers (7) are rotatably connected to the frame (1), with the upper apex of the multiple self-locking rollers (7) on the same horizontal plane, and the placement platform (2) is placed on the self-locking rollers (7).

7. An assembly method for a single-component liquid rocket engine, characterized in that: The auxiliary device for assembling a monocomponent liquid rocket engine as described in any one of claims 1-6 includes... S1: Engine fixing: Place the engine on the placement platform (2) and fix it in place; S2: Pre-fixing of injection pipe: The injection pipe is sleeved on the support rod (3), and the injection pipe is fixed relative to the support rod (3) by adjusting the clamping unit (4); S3: Position alignment of support rods (3): Control the working state of the drive unit (5) to move the support rods (3) until all support rods (3) are aligned with the mounting holes on the engine; S4: Injection pipe installation: The pressing unit (6) is started. The pressing unit (6) applies force to the clamping unit (4) on all the support rods (3) at the same time, and controls the position of the support rods (3) through the clamping unit (4) so ​​that the support rods (3) move while driving the injection pipe to be inserted into the assembly hole on the engine. At this time, the clamping unit (4) releases the injection pipe and the installation is completed.
