Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of missile launcher technology, and specifically relates to a cable routing and storage structure for a missile launcher. Background Technology

[0002] In vehicle-mounted missile weapon systems, the connecting cables to the boxed missiles are generally exposed. For multi-layered boxed missiles, the cables of the upper missile slots are relatively long. If not properly managed, this can affect the opening of the lower missiles, posing a significant safety hazard. Furthermore, during missile launch, the exhaust plume can ablate the exposed cables, shortening their lifespan. Additionally, the exposed cables also affect the neatness and aesthetics of the weapon system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to provide a cable guiding and storage structure to solve the technical problem of excessively long upper missile launch cables affecting the opening of the cover and cable exposure in vehicle-mounted missile weapon systems.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a cable guiding and storage structure for a missile launcher. The structure includes: a housing, a guiding plate, cable clips, partitions, an upper limit mechanism, a first pin, an upper limit seat, a front cover, a lower limit mechanism, a lower limit seat, and a second pin. The housing is movably connected to the front cover via the second pin, and the front cover is movably connected to the guiding plate via the first pin. The housing has a cable inlet hole at its bottom, cable outlet holes on its left and right sides, and the lower limit seat is installed at the lower center of the front. Multiple partitions are arranged at predetermined intervals on the inner bottom surface. The upper limit seat is installed at the upper center of the outer side of the front cover, and the lower limit mechanism is installed at the lower center. The upper limit mechanism is installed on the outer surface of the guiding plate, and multiple sets of cable clips are installed on its inner surface. The upper limit mechanism and the upper limit seat cooperate to limit the opening and closing angle of the guiding plate. The lower limit mechanism and the lower limit seat cooperate to limit the opening and closing angle of the front cover.

[0007] The lower limiting mechanism further includes a lower base, a handle, a fixing pin, a locking pin, and a compression spring. The locking pin passes through the inner hole of the lower base, and the compression spring is provided between the locking pin and the lower base. The locking pin is fixedly connected to the handle by the fixing pin. The cylindrical end of the lower base is provided with a long groove and a short groove. When the handle is engaged in the long groove, the end of the locking pin extends out and inserts into the hole of the lower limiting base to achieve the limiting purpose. When the handle is engaged in the short groove, the end of the locking pin retracts from the hole of the lower limiting base, and the limited part returns to a movable state.

[0008] The upper limit mechanism further includes an upper base, a handle, a fixing pin, a locking pin, and a compression spring. The locking pin passes through the inner hole of the upper base, and the compression spring is provided between the locking pin and the upper base. The locking pin is fixedly connected to the handle by the fixing pin. The cylindrical end of the upper base is provided with a long groove and a short groove. When the handle is engaged in the long groove, the end of the locking pin extends and inserts into the hole of the upper limit seat to achieve the limiting purpose. When the handle is engaged in the short groove, the end of the locking pin retracts from the hole of the upper limit seat, and the limited part returns to a movable state.

[0009] The structure also includes a top cover and a third pin, with the top cover being movably connected to the housing via the third pin.

[0010] The structure further includes a locking assembly, which is installed on the upper two sides of the outer side of the front cover to lock the front cover and the top cover.

[0011] The structure also includes two wire clamping plates, which are deployed on the bottom surface inside the housing to secure the cables.

[0012] The box body has three partitions arranged at preset intervals on its inner bottom surface.

[0013] Two sets of the line clips are installed on the inner surface of the guide plate.

[0014] Before use, firstly, insert multiple cables into the box through the cable inlet hole at the bottom of the box; then, according to the different missile positions, place the cables into the four independent spaces divided by three partitions, one on the left and one on the right for the lower missile positions, and the two in the middle for the upper missile positions. After reserving an appropriate length for the cables, fix the cable section in front of and behind the partition with a wire clamp; finally, install the cable guiding and storage structure on the launch vehicle.

[0015] In use, first, unlock the locking assembly and open the top cover. Then, rotate the guide plate 90° and operate the handle of the upper limit mechanism to insert the locking pin of the upper limit mechanism into the upper limit seat to fix the guide plate. Next, operate the handle of the lower limit mechanism to pull the locking pin of the lower limit mechanism out of the lower limit seat. At this time, the front cover is in a movable state. Rotate the front cover to the appropriate position, take out the cable, and connect the cable of the lower missile position to the lower missile through the cable outlet holes on the left and right sides of the box. The cable of the upper missile position is connected to the upper missile through the cable clip along the guide plate. Then, close the front cover, operate the handle of the lower limit mechanism to insert the locking pin of the lower limit mechanism into the lower limit seat, and finally, close the top cover and lock the locking assembly.

[0016] During retraction, first release the locking assembly, open the top cover, operate the handle of the lower limit mechanism, and pull the locking pin of the lower limit mechanism out of the lower limit seat. At this time, the front cover is in a movable state. Flip the front cover to the appropriate position, remove the cables connecting different cartridge boxes, and place them into the corresponding partition space. Then close the front cover, operate the handle of the lower limit mechanism, and insert the locking pin of the lower limit mechanism into the lower limit seat. Next, operate the handle of the upper limit mechanism and pull the locking pin of the upper limit mechanism out of the upper limit seat. Lay the guide plate flat, and finally close the top cover and lock the locking assembly.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] (1) The present invention provides storage space for the launch cable by adopting a box and top cover structure, thereby reducing the damage to the cable caused by missile exhaust and other environmental factors.

[0020] (2) The present invention guides and fixes the cables of different missile positions through the cable outlet holes on the left and right sides of the box, the guide plate, the wire clip and the upper limit mechanism, so that the cable layout is neat and beautiful, and at the same time improves the safety of missile opening.
