Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spacecraft manufacturing technology, specifically to a tetrahedral pyramidal flow guide and its design method. Background Technology

[0002] Ground-based fixed launch primarily utilizes launch systems fixed to the ground to launch missiles. This launch method is commonly used for medium- and long-range surface-to-surface missiles and surface-to-air missiles, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles. Ground-based fixed launch devices are generally fixed to the ground. During launch, the high-temperature, high-pressure exhaust gas generated by the missile impacts and damages the launch site. Traditionally, exhaust gas channeling involves pre-constructing a concrete trough within a certain area at the launch site. However, due to the long range and high thrust of medium- and long-range missiles, the concrete trough cannot fully withstand the high-temperature exhaust gas load. After the first missile launch, parts of the concrete trough are damaged by the exhaust gas and must be repaired with concrete before a second launch. The concrete repair process is complex and time-consuming, failing to meet the requirements for continuous missile launches. Therefore, a exhaust gas channeling device capable of withstanding the high-temperature exhaust gas load and enabling continuous launches is necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies by providing a four-sided pyramidal flow guide and its design method, which can withstand the scouring of high-temperature gas flow under heavy loads and meet the requirements for continuous missile launches.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the tetrahedral conduit designed in this invention includes a metal frame and a non-metallic protective cover. The metal frame includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, both of the same size and isosceles trapezoidal in shape. A first groove is formed downwards along the central axis of the vertical plate, and a second groove is formed upwards along the central axis of the horizontal plate. The sum of the lengths of the first and second grooves is the height of the vertical plate. The vertical plate and the horizontal plate are inserted and welded together through the first and second grooves to form a cross frame. A panel is welded to each of the four panels on the inclined end face of the cross frame, forming an inclined surface suitable for the inner surface of the non-metallic protective cover. The non-metallic protective cover covers the panels.

[0005] A design method for the aforementioned tetrahedral pyramidal flow guide includes the following steps:

[0006] A) Design the structural parameters of the diffuser based on the diameter of the engine nozzle exit section, including the diffuser bottom side length L and the diffuser height H. The diffuser bottom side length L must meet the following requirements:

[0015] The thickness T of the bevel of the non-metallic protective cover must meet the following requirements:

[0016] T = k f ×A×(γ×t)

[0017] In the formula, k f This is the second correction factor for non-metallic thickness, ranging from 1.5 to 2.2;

[0018] The transition fillet radius R is 0.1 to 0.15L;

[0019] C) Select the metal frame material according to the working conditions, including ordinary carbon structural steel or high-strength welded structural steel, with a thickness of 1.5 to 3.5 mm;

[0020] D) Based on the structural parameters of the flow guide, a 3D structural model is created. The structural design quality meets the design input requirements. The rated load is applied to the constructed 3D structural model for simulation analysis and calculation. The simulated maximum stress and maximum deformation of the 3D structural model are calculated, and the corresponding locations of the maximum points are marked. The simulated maximum stress is denoted as σ. 仿max The maximum deformation in the simulation is denoted as A. 仿maxThe safety factor is calculated based on the simulated maximum stress. The formula for calculating the safety factor is as follows:

[0021]

[0022] In the formula, σ s k represents the yield strength of the metal skeleton material. s n is the weld strength coefficient, ranging from 0.7 to 1.0. s For a safety factor not less than 1.5, the maximum simulated deformation is less than 2L‰. If the safety factor n s Simulated Large Deformation A 仿max If the design requirements are met, proceed to the next step; if not, optimize the structural parameters of the guide vane and modify the guide vane side length coefficient k. d , Deflector height coefficient k e Non-metallic thickness correction factor k c Second correction factor for non-metallic thickness k f Until the safety factor n s Simulation of maximum deformation A 仿max Until the design requirements are met;

[0023] E) Satisfies the safety factor n s And the simulated maximum deformation A 仿max After the requirements were met, the structural parameters of the flow guide were finalized. Non-metallic protective covers and metal frames were manufactured according to the finalized parameters. After the non-metallic protective covers were molded, they were fitted onto the welded metal frames. Before fitting them onto the metal frames, a high-temperature erosion resistant coating with adhesive properties was applied to each panel of the metal frames. After curing for 24 hours, the product prototype was assembled.

[0025] 1. The product meets the requirements for continuous launch, can be used multiple times, and has low maintenance costs;

[0026] 2. The product is surrounded by air channels, which can withstand the high-temperature gas flow of medium and long-range surface-to-surface missiles under heavy loads. Attached Figure Description
