Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of verification methods for rocket separation dynamics, and particularly to an equivalent verification method for the separation dynamics of the first and second stages of a box-launched rocket. Background Technology

[0002] The box-type launch vehicle separation system consists of three separation subsystems: the first and second stage separation system, the fairing separation system, and the second and third stage separation system. The first and second stage separation mechanism enables the mechanical connection between the first and second stages of the rocket, ensuring reliable connection during launch and reliable separation during dynamic processes. Successful separation of the first and second stages of the box-type rocket is a crucial step for a successful launch; failure to separate will lead to mission failure. To mitigate development risks, dynamic verification tests of the first and second stage separation are necessary.

[0003] Due to limitations in ground environment and test site, existing separation tests mainly consist of static tests of a single separation spring and suspension tests with small overall loads. These separation tests differ significantly from actual free-state separation and cannot accurately obtain the dynamic characteristics of separation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dynamic equivalent verification method for the separation of the first and second stages of a box-type launch rocket, accurately obtain the dynamic characteristics of the separation of the first and second stages of the box-type launch rocket, verify the reliability of the separation, and provide guidance for the design of separation mechanism parameters.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is: to provide a method for verifying the dynamic equivalence of the separation of the first and second stages of a box-type launch rocket, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S3. Equivalent the three lateral loads to one horizontal load;

[0009] S4. Equivalent verification of separation kinetics;

[0010] S5. Interpretation of test results.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, when the rocket is vertically separated, the free separation motion of the first stage and the second stage is equivalent to a horizontal separation state, the first stage structural tube is fixed, and the separation unit moves horizontally.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S2, the calculation of the equivalent mass of the separated monomers specifically involves:

[0013] equivalent quality Where m1 is the mass of the first stage of the rocket and m2 is the mass of the second stage of the rocket.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S3:

[0015] The aerodynamic force F borne by the first stage of the rocket y1_aero Control force F y1_ctrl And the aerodynamic force F borne by the second stage of the rocket y2_aero First, it can be equivalent to the lateral forces at the separation surfaces of the first and second stages of the rocket.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S3, the equivalent shear force F at the separation interface is... flm and equivalent moment T flm Through shear force F flm This is achieved by offsetting the separation interface by a distance d.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S4, the first-stage rocket structure tube is fixed to the ground by a fixing device, and the separation unit structure tube is suspended on a marble platform by air pressure. The displacement of the separation unit is measured by a high-speed camera, and the shear force F is transferred to the mass block via a steel wire rope pulley. flm It is applied to the separated monomer structure cylinder.

[0021] Furthermore, the mass of the separated monomer structure cylinder The moment of inertia about the Z-axis is I zz_2 .

[0022] Furthermore, the wire rope is fixed to the single-unit structural cylinder, and the wire rope passes over a fixed pulley. The other end of the wire rope is fixed to a mass block, and the mass of the mass block is m3 = F. flm / 9.86;

[0023] Distance between the fixed point of the wire rope and the separation interface of the separate unit structure cylinder .

[0024] Furthermore, the distance l between the fixed pulley and the connection point between the wire rope and the separation unit structure cylinder is ≥10m, ensuring that the component of the wire rope tension in the separation direction can be ignored during the separation process.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S5, the displacement of the separated unit is calculated using Euler difference to obtain the separation velocity. The separation distance being greater than the compression stroke of the first and second stage springs of the rocket and the separation velocity being greater than 1 m / s are used as the criteria for determining whether the separation is successful.
