Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rocket recovery technology, and in particular to a system for recovering rockets. Background Technology

[0002] Rocket recovery technology refers to the technology of recovering and reusing rockets after launch. Disposable launch vehicles have high launch costs, and rocket recovery technology can reduce these costs. SpaceX and Blue Origin in the United States have successfully recovered rockets multiple times. For example, SpaceX's rocket recovery technology used in several launches involves the following: During the descent of the rocket stage, the main engine ignites to decelerate, while attitude control engines adjust the stage's flight attitude to ensure a near-vertical descent. As the descending stage approaches the ground, the retractable support legs deploy, allowing the rocket to land stably on the landing surface (e.g., a ground or sea platform). Specifically, the bottom of the rocket stage has retractable support legs. These legs remain retracted throughout the rocket's flight. After the stage completes its work and separates from the rocket body, the main engine shuts down, and the stage flies to the designated landing area or returns to the launch site. Upon approaching the ground, the main engine reignites, decelerating the rocket. Before landing, the support legs deploy and lock under high-pressure gas. At the moment of final impact, the rocket stage uses its main engines to reduce its speed to zero and then uses its deployed support legs to stabilize itself on the recovery site or recovery vessel. This vertical recovery technology for rocket stages places high demands on the control of the rocket's attitude and speed during descent. If the attitude or speed of the rocket stage is not well controlled, it may cause the rocket to tip over or explode, resulting in a complete failure of the rocket recovery. Summary of the Invention

A second buffer pulley is fixedly installed on the second recovery platform, and the other end of the first buffer cable passes over the first lowering winch. Two buffer fixed pulleys are wound around the second lowering winch. A third buffer fixed pulley is fixedly installed on the second recovery platform.

[0014] In this rocket recovery system, each of the following trolleys—the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth—has a tension sensor fixedly installed at both ends: two tension sensors on the first trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of a first traction rope via first turnbuckles; two tension sensors on the second trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of a second traction rope via second turnbuckles; two tension sensors on the third trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of a third traction rope via third turnbuckles; two tension sensors on the fourth trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of a fourth traction rope via fourth turnbuckles; two tension sensors on the fifth trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of a fifth traction rope via fifth turnbuckles; two tension sensors on the sixth trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of a sixth traction rope via sixth turnbuckles; two tension sensors on the seventh trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of a seventh traction rope via seventh turnbuckles; and two tension sensors on the eighth trolley are fixedly connected to both ends of an eighth traction rope via eighth turnbuckles.

[0015] In the rocket recovery system of the present invention, a ninth turnbuckle is connected to each of the first, second, third, and fourth arresting cables.

[0016] The rocket recovery system of this invention differs from existing technologies in that, during use, the recovery platform and rails are fixedly installed on the ground, on a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery (in practice, the recovery platform and rails can be fixed to the aforementioned site using support frames). When the rocket stage lands in the area enclosed by the first, second, third, and fourth rails, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth traction devices are activated. The first traction device pulls the first trolley along the first rail, while the sixth traction device pulls the sixth trolley along the third rail, causing the first and sixth trolleys to slide synchronously in the same direction. This causes the first arresting cable to begin translating along the first and third rails. Similarly, the second traction device pulls the second trolley along the first rail, while the fifth traction device pulls the fifth trolley along the third rail, causing the second and fifth trolleys to slide synchronously in the same direction. This causes the second arresting cable to begin translating along the first and third rails. The third traction device pulls the third trolley to slide along the second slide rail. At the same time, the eighth traction device pulls the eighth trolley to slide along the fourth slide rail, and the third and eighth trolleys slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the third arresting cable begins to translate along the second and fourth slide rails. The fourth traction device pulls the fourth trolley to slide along the second slide rail. At the same time, the seventh traction device pulls the seventh trolley to slide along the fourth slide rail, and the fourth and seventh trolleys slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the fourth arresting cable begins to translate along the second and fourth slide rails. Based on the landing point of the rocket stage, the first, second, third, and fourth arresting cables are moved to the perimeter of the rocket stage, placing it within the square area enclosed by these cables. As the rocket stage gradually descends, the four arresting cables are brought closer until the arresting hooks on the rocket stage engage with the cables (arresting hooks are installed around the rocket stage body for recovery). Under the weight of the rocket stage, it pulls the arresting cables downwards, which in turn pull the buffer mechanism via a buffer cable. The buffer mechanism counteracts the energy of the rocket stage's descent. With the continued action of the buffer mechanism, the rocket stage gradually stops falling, thus completing the recovery of the rocket stage. Because this invention uses four arresting cables, and these four arresting cables are located around the rocket stage during recovery, even if the rocket stage's attitude and speed do not reach the ideal state for recovery, the four arresting cables can easily hook onto the rocket stage and complete the recovery. Therefore, this invention can reduce the requirements for the attitude and speed of rocket recovery and improve the success rate of rocket recovery.

Correspondingly, four first sliders 90 are fixedly provided below the trolley frame 87 of each trolley, and the four first sliders 90 are arranged in pairs on the double slide rails of the first slide rail 5 / second slide rail 6 / third slide rail 7 / fourth slide rail 8.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, and in combination Figures 2-13 As shown, the two ends of the first blocking cable 17 are respectively connected to the buffer pulley frames 93 of the first trolley 9 and the sixth trolley 14; the two ends of the second blocking cable 18 are respectively connected to the buffer pulley frames 93 of the second trolley 10 and the fifth trolley 13; the two ends of the third blocking cable 19 are respectively connected to the buffer pulley frames 93 of the third trolley 11 and the eighth trolley 16; and the two ends of the fourth blocking cable 20 are respectively connected to the buffer pulley frames 93 of the fourth trolley 12 and the seventh trolley 15.

[0047] A first buffer cable 21 is provided between the first recovery platform 1 and the second recovery platform 2. The two ends of the first buffer cable 21 are connected to a first buffer mechanism at the first recovery platform 1 and a second buffer mechanism at the second recovery platform 2, respectively. The first buffer cable 21 bypasses the side of the buffer pulleys 94 of the first trolley 9 and the second trolley 10 away from the elastic locking mechanism. A second buffer cable 22 is provided between the second recovery platform 2 and the third recovery platform 3. The two ends of the second buffer cable 22 are connected to a third buffer mechanism at the second recovery platform 2 and a fourth buffer mechanism at the third recovery platform 3, respectively. The second buffer cable 22 bypasses the side of the buffer pulleys 94 of the third trolley 11 and the fourth trolley 12 away from the elastic locking mechanism. A third buffer cable 23 is provided between the third recycling platform 3 and the fourth recycling platform 4. The two ends of the third buffer cable 23 are respectively connected to the fifth buffer mechanism at the third recycling platform 3 and the sixth buffer mechanism at the fourth recycling platform 4. The third buffer cable 23 bypasses the side of the buffer pulley 94 of the fifth trolley 13 and the sixth trolley 14 away from the elastic locking mechanism. A fourth buffer cable 24 is provided between the fourth recycling platform 4 and the first recycling platform 1. The two ends of the fourth buffer cable 24 are respectively connected to the seventh buffer mechanism at the fourth recycling platform 4 and the eighth buffer mechanism at the first recycling platform 1. The fourth buffer cable 24 bypasses the side of the buffer pulley 94 of the seventh trolley 15 and the eighth trolley 16 away from the elastic locking mechanism.

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, in the rocket recovery system of the present invention, the recovery platform and slide rails are fixedly installed on the ground, on a ship, or on other suitable sites for rocket recovery (of course, in specific installations, the recovery platform and slide rails can be fixedly installed on the above-mentioned sites by means of support frames). When the rocket stage lands in the area enclosed by the first slide rail 5, the second slide rail 6, the third slide rail 7, and the fourth slide rail 8, the first traction device, the second traction device, the third traction device, the fourth traction device, the fifth traction device, the sixth traction device, the seventh traction device, and the eighth traction device are activated. The first traction device pulls the first trolley 9 to slide along the first slide rail 5. Simultaneously, the sixth traction device pulls the sixth trolley 14 to slide along the third slide rail 7, causing the first trolley 9 and the sixth trolley 14 to slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the first arresting cable 17 begins to translate along the first slide rail 5 and the third slide rail 7. The second traction device pulls the second trolley 10 to slide along the first slide rail 5. Simultaneously, the fifth traction device pulls the fifth trolley 13 to slide along the third slide rail 7, causing the second trolley 10 and the fifth trolley 13 to slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the second arresting cable 18 begins to translate along the first slide rail 5 and the third slide rail 7. The third traction device pulls the third trolley 11 to slide along the second slide rail 6. At the same time, the eighth traction device pulls the eighth trolley 16 to slide along the fourth slide rail 8, and the third trolley 11 and the eighth trolley 16 slide in the same direction and synchronously. Thus, the third arresting cable 19 begins to translate along the second slide rail 6 and the fourth slide rail 8. The fourth traction device pulls the fourth trolley 12 to slide along the second slide rail 6. At the same time, the seventh traction device pulls the seventh trolley 15 to slide along the fourth slide rail 8, and the fourth trolley 12 and the seventh trolley 15 slide in the same direction and synchronously. Thus, the fourth arresting cable 20 begins to translate along the second slide rail 6 and the fourth slide rail 8. Based on the landing point of the rocket stage, the first arresting cable 17, the second arresting cable 18, the third arresting cable 19, and the fourth arresting cable 20 are moved to the perimeter of the rocket stage, placing the rocket stage within the square area enclosed by these cables. As the rocket stage gradually descends, the four arresting cables are gradually moved closer to the rocket stage until the arresting hooks on the rocket stage engage with the arresting cables (arresting hooks are installed around the rocket stage body to facilitate recovery). Under the weight of the rocket stage, it pulls the arresting cables downwards, which in turn pull the buffer mechanism via a buffer cable. The buffer mechanism's function is to offset the energy of the rocket stage's descent. With the continuous action of the buffer mechanism, the rocket stage gradually stops falling, thus completing the recovery of the rocket stage. Because this invention uses four arresting cables, and these four arresting cables are located around the rocket stage during recovery, even if the rocket stage's attitude and speed do not reach the ideal state for recovery, the four arresting cables can easily hook onto the rocket stage and complete the recovery. Therefore, this invention can reduce the requirements for the attitude and speed of rocket recovery and improve the success rate of rocket recovery.

When the fifth traction winch 54 rotates in the reverse direction, the fifth traction rope 82 pulls the fifth trolley 13 to slide along the third slide rail 7 from the fourth recovery platform 4 to the third recovery platform 3. The fifth traction winch 54 is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0054] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the sixth traction device includes a sixth traction winch 68, a sixth traction pulley 59, and a sixth traction rope 81. The sixth traction winch 68 is fixedly mounted on the fourth recovery platform 4, and the sixth traction pulley 59 is fixedly mounted on the third recovery platform 3.

When the sixth traction winch 68 rotates in the reverse direction, the sixth traction rope 81 pulls the sixth trolley 14 along the third slide rail 7 from the fourth recovery platform 4 to the third recovery platform 3. The sixth traction winch 68 is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0055] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 12 , Figure 13As shown, the seventh traction device includes a seventh traction winch 70, a seventh traction pulley 36, and a seventh traction rope 77. The seventh traction winch 70 is fixedly mounted on the fourth recovery platform 4, and the seventh traction pulley 36 is fixedly mounted on the first recovery platform 1. One end of the seventh traction rope 77 is fixedly connected to one end of the seventh trolley 15, and the other end of the seventh traction rope 77 passes sequentially around the seventh traction winch 70 and the seventh traction pulley 36 before being fixedly connected to the other end of the seventh trolley 15. When the seventh traction winch 70 rotates forward, the seventh traction rope 77 pulls the seventh trolley 15 to slide along the fourth slide rail 8 from the fourth recovery platform 4 to the first recovery platform 1. When the seventh traction winch 70 rotates in the reverse direction, the seventh traction rope 77 pulls the seventh trolley 15 to slide along the fourth slide rail 8 from the first recovery platform 1 to the fourth recovery platform 4. The seventh traction winch 70 is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0056] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the eighth traction device includes an eighth traction winch 32, an eighth traction pulley 65, and an eighth traction rope 78. The eighth traction winch 32 is fixedly mounted on the first recovery platform 1, and the eighth traction pulley 65 is fixedly mounted on the fourth recovery platform 4. One end of the eighth traction rope 78 is fixedly connected to one end of the eighth trolley 16, and the other end of the eighth traction rope 78 passes sequentially around the eighth traction winch 32 and the eighth traction pulley 65 before being fixedly connected to the other end of the eighth trolley 16. When the eighth traction winch 32 rotates forward, the eighth traction rope 78 pulls the eighth trolley 16 along the fourth slide rail 8 from the fourth recovery platform 4 to the first recovery platform 1. When the eighth traction winch 32 rotates in the reverse direction, the eighth traction rope 78 pulls the eighth trolley 16 along the fourth slide rail 8 from the first recovery platform 1 to the fourth recovery platform 4. The eighth traction winch 32 is prior art, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0057] It should be noted that when the first traction rope 75, the second traction rope 76, the third traction rope 79, the fourth traction rope 80, the fifth traction rope 82, the sixth traction rope 81, the seventh traction rope 77, and the eighth traction rope 78 pass over the first traction winch 37, the second traction winch 46, the third traction winch 44, the fourth traction winch 56, the fifth traction winch 54, the sixth traction winch 68, the seventh traction winch 70, and the eighth traction winch 32, respectively, each traction rope is wound multiple times on its respective traction winch.

[0058] It should be noted that, in addition to the aforementioned traction winch, traction pulley, and traction rope, the traction device can also employ other structural forms. For example, the traction device may include a traction motor, a driving traction wheel, a driven traction wheel, and a conveyor belt. The traction motor and driving traction wheel are mounted on one of the recovery platforms, and the driven traction wheel is mounted on another. The conveyor belt is fitted onto the driving and driven traction wheels, and the trolley is fixed to the conveyor belt. Thus, when the traction motor drives the driving traction wheel to rotate, the driving traction wheel drives the driven traction wheel to rotate via the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt also rotates. Consequently, the trolley fixed to the conveyor belt slides along the guide rail. Of course, both the driving and driven traction wheels can be sprockets, and the conveyor belt can be a chain.

[0059] like Figure 14 As shown, and in combination Figures 15-21 As shown, the elastic locking mechanism includes two locking brackets 86 arranged opposite to each other. The locking brackets 86 are fixed on the trolley frame 87. Each locking bracket 86 is equipped with an elastic clamping arm 89. The two elastic clamping arms 89 are arranged opposite to each other. When the second slider 88 slides along the sliding hole toward the elastic locking mechanism, the other end of the second slider 88 can be clamped between the two elastic clamping arms 89. When the second slider 88 slides away from the elastic locking mechanism along the sliding hole, the other end of the second slider 88 can disengage from the two elastic clamping arms 89.

[0060] Before recovering the rocket stage, for each trolley, the other end of the second slider 88 is clamped between the two elastic clamping arms 89 of the elastic locking mechanism, meaning that the other end of the second slider 88 is locked to the elastic locking mechanism. During the recovery of the rocket stage, after the arresting hook of the rocket stage is engaged with the first arresting cable 17, the second arresting cable 18, the third arresting cable 19, and the fourth arresting cable 20, the rocket stage, under its own weight, will pull the arresting cables diagonally downwards. Since the arresting cables are connected to the buffer pulley frame 93, and the buffer pulley frame 93 is connected to one end of the second slider 88, the second slider 88 slides away from the elastic locking mechanism along the sliding hole, causing the other end of the second slider 88 to disengage from the two elastic clamping arms 89 of the elastic locking mechanism, thus unlocking it. Finally, the other end of the second slider 88 slides out of the sliding hole. During this process, the buffer pulley 94 also moves away from the elastic locking mechanism. Because the buffer cable bypasses the buffer... The pulley 94 is located away from the elastic locking mechanism. Therefore, the buffer pulley 94 pulls the buffer cable away from the elastic locking mechanism, causing the two ends of the buffer cable to pull the buffer mechanism respectively (that is, the two ends of the first buffer cable 21 pull the first buffer mechanism and the second buffer mechanism respectively, the two ends of the second buffer cable 22 pull the third buffer mechanism and the fourth buffer mechanism respectively, the two ends of the third buffer cable 23 pull the fifth buffer mechanism and the sixth buffer mechanism respectively, and the two ends of the fourth buffer cable 24 pull the seventh buffer mechanism and the eighth buffer mechanism respectively), until the rocket stage stops falling. It can be seen that the buffer mechanism can play a buffering role during the recovery of the rocket stage and prevent damage to the recovery system and the rocket stage during the recovery process.

[0061] like Figure 1As shown, after the arresting hook of the rocket stage is attached to the first arresting cable 17, the second arresting cable 18, the third arresting cable 19, and the fourth arresting cable 20, and the arresting cables are pulled diagonally downwards under the weight of the rocket stage, the diagonal downwards refers to the area enclosed by the first slide rail 5, the second slide rail 6, the third slide rail 7, and the fourth slide rail 8. That is, the rocket stage pulls the two ends of the arresting cables from the slide rails into the area enclosed by the four slide rails. Since the arresting cables are connected to the buffer pulley frame 93... Therefore, the buffer pulley frame 93 and the buffer pulley 94 also move from the slide rail into the area enclosed by the four slide rails (i.e., the buffer pulley frame 93 and the buffer pulley 94 also move away from the elastic locking mechanism). At the same time, the buffer pulley frame 93 pulls the second slider 88 to slide along the slide hole from the slide rail into the area enclosed by the four slide rails (i.e., the second slider 88 slides away from the elastic locking mechanism along the slide hole), causing the other end of the second slider 88 to disengage from the two elastic clamping arms 89 of the elastic locking mechanism, thus unlocking. Since the buffer cable passes around the buffer pulley 94 on the side closer to the center of the area enclosed by the four slide rails (i.e., the buffer cable passes around the buffer pulley 94 on the side away from the elastic locking mechanism), the buffer pulley 94 pulls the buffer cable into the area enclosed by the four slide rails (i.e., the buffer pulley 94 pulls the buffer cable away from the elastic locking mechanism), causing both ends of the buffer cable to pull the buffer mechanism respectively.

[0062] like Figure 14 As shown, and in combination Figures 15-21 As shown, the elastic clamping arm 89 includes a first connecting rod 113 and a second connecting rod 114. One end of the first connecting rod 113 is hinged to the locking bracket 86, and the other end of the first connecting rod 113 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 114. The other end of the second connecting rod 114 is hinged to a third slider 115. The locking bracket 86 has a sliding groove, and a guide post 117 is fixedly installed in the sliding groove. The third slider 115 is located in the sliding groove and is fitted onto the guide post 117. The sliding groove and the guide post 117 are connected in a series of steps. All 17 are arranged along the sliding direction of the second slider 88. A spring 118 is provided in the groove on the side of the third slider 115 away from the first connecting rod 113. The spring 118 is fitted on the guide post 117. A clamping groove is provided on each of the opposite sides of the other end of the second slider 88. When the other end of the second slider 88 is clamped between the two elastic clamping arms 89, the hinge joints of the first connecting rod 113 and the second connecting rod 114 of the two elastic clamping arms 89 are respectively clamped in the two clamping grooves at the other end of the second slider 88.

[0063] One end of the first connecting rod 113 is hinged to the locking bracket 86 via a hinge seat 112, meaning the hinge seat 112 is fixed to the locking bracket 86. The hinge seat 112 has a first hinge lug, and one end of the first connecting rod 113 is hinged to the first hinge lug via a pin. The other end of the first connecting rod 113 is also hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 114 via a pin. The third slider 115 has a second hinge lug, and the other end of the second connecting rod 114 is hinged to the second hinge lug via a pin.

[0064] A sleeve 120 is fixedly mounted on the locking bracket 86. An end cap 119 is fixedly mounted at each of the two openings of the sleeve 120. An axially arranged slot 116 is opened on the wall of the sleeve 120. The slot 116 and the cavity of the sleeve 120 together form a sliding groove for accommodating the third slider 115. A guide post 117 is provided in the cavity of the sleeve 120 along the axial direction of the sleeve 120. The guide post 117 is fixedly mounted between the two end caps 119. When the spring 118 is not compressed by the third slider 115, a preload is applied to the spring 118. Under the action of the preload, the spring 118 pushes the third slider 115 against the end of the slide groove near the first connecting rod 113. At this time, the first connecting rod 113 and the second connecting rod 114 maintain a small angle, and the two elastic clamping arms 89 maintain a small gap. When the third slider 115 compresses the spring 118 along the slide groove, that is, when the third slider 115 slides from the end of the slide groove near the first connecting rod 113 to the end away from the first connecting rod 113, the angle between the first connecting rod 113 and the second connecting rod 114 increases, and the gap between the two elastic clamping arms 89 also increases.

[0065] When the second slider 88 is locked with the elastic locking mechanism, the second slider 88 slides along the sliding hole toward the elastic locking mechanism, causing the other end of the second slider 88 to slide between the two elastic clamping arms 89. As the second slider 88 continues to slide, the other end of the second slider 88 opens the two elastic clamping arms 89, that is, it increases the gap between the two elastic clamping arms 89. More specifically, it increases the gap at the hinge of the first connecting rod 113 and the second connecting rod 114 in the two elastic clamping arms 89. As the gap between the two elastic clamping arms 89 increases, the third slider 115 compresses the spring 118, and the hinge joints of the first link 113 and the second link 114 of the elastic clamping arms 89 remain in contact with the second slider 88. As the second slider 88 continues to slide, the hinge joints of the first link 113 and the second link 114 of the two elastic clamping arms 89 are respectively clamped in the two clamping slots at the other end of the second slider 88. At this time, the gap between the two elastic clamping arms 89 decreases again, and the spring 118 returns to its original state (i.e., the spring 118 returns to the state not compressed by the third slider 115), thereby achieving the locking of the second slider 88 with the elastic locking mechanism. When the second slider 88 unlocks from the elastic locking mechanism, it slides away from the elastic locking mechanism along the sliding hole. The other end of the second slider 88 reopens the two elastic clamping arms 89, increasing the gap between them. During this process, the third slider 115 compresses the spring 118. As the second slider 88 continues to slide, it disengages from between the two elastic clamping arms 89. The spring 118 then returns to its original position, and the gap between the two elastic clamping arms 89 decreases again, thus unlocking the second slider 88 from the elastic locking mechanism. It should be noted that, to facilitate the reopening of the two elastic clamping arms 89 by the other end of the second slider 88, the side facing the two elastic clamping arms between the other end of the second slider 88 and the clamping groove is designed with a wedge shape.

[0066] like Figure 16 , Figure 17 As shown, the trolley frame 87 has a through hole 109 for the second slider 88 to pass through. On the trolley frame 87 on opposite sides of the through hole 109, there are respectively a first sleeve 105 and a second sleeve 106. The cavities of the first sleeve 105 and the second sleeve 106 are connected to the through hole 109. The first sleeve 105 is fixedly mounted on the side of the trolley frame 87 near the elastic locking mechanism. The second sleeve 106 is rotatably mounted on the side of the trolley frame 87 near the buffer pulley 94. The cavity of the second sleeve 106, the through hole 109 of the trolley frame 87, and the cavity of the first sleeve 105 together form the sliding hole. The other end of the second slider 88 passes through the cavity of the second sleeve 106, the through hole 109 of the trolley frame 87, and the cavity of the first sleeve 105 in sequence and then connects to the elastic locking mechanism.

[0067] Each of the opposite sides of the buffer pulley 94 is provided with a tensioning pulley 92. The tensioning pulleys 92 are mounted on the trolley frame 87 via tensioning pulley brackets 91. The first trolley 9 and the second trolley 10 respectively tension the first buffer cable 21 on the side of their respective buffer pulleys 94 away from the elastic locking mechanism via tensioning pulleys 92. The third trolley 11 and the fourth trolley 12 respectively tension the second buffer cable 22 on the side of their respective buffer pulleys 94 away from the elastic locking mechanism via tensioning pulleys 92. The fifth trolley 13 and the sixth trolley 14 respectively tension the third buffer cable 23 on the side of their respective buffer pulleys 94 away from the elastic locking mechanism via tensioning pulleys 92. The seventh trolley 15 and the eighth trolley 16 respectively tension the fourth buffer cable 24 on the side of their respective buffer pulleys 94 away from the elastic locking mechanism via tensioning pulleys 92.

[0068] The trolley frame 87 includes a base plate 103 and a mounting beam 104 fixedly mounted above the base plate 103. A first slider 90 is fixedly mounted below the base plate 103. The mounting beam 104 is arranged in the same direction as the sliding direction of the trolley frame 87. The mounting beam 104 has a through hole 109. A first sleeve 105 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting beam 104, and a second sleeve 106 is rotatably mounted on the other side of the mounting beam 104. Both the first sleeve 105 and the second sleeve 106 are arranged opposite to the through hole 109. The second sleeve 106 is rotatably mounted on the mounting beam 104 in the following manner: a mounting groove 110 is provided on the other side of the mounting beam 104, and blind holes 111 are provided on the two opposite groove walls of the mounting groove 110. Two oppositely arranged rotating shafts 107 are provided on the cylinder wall of the second sleeve 106. The second sleeve 106 is mounted on the two blind holes 111 of the mounting groove 110 through the two rotating shafts 107, so that there is a clearance fit between the rotating shafts 107 and the blind holes 111. In this way, the second sleeve 106 can be rotatably mounted on the mounting beam 104 through the rotating shafts 107 and the blind holes 111. The reason for rotating the second sleeve 106 onto the mounting beam 104 is that when the rocket stage pulls the arresting cable diagonally downward within the area enclosed by the four slide rails, the arresting cable also pulls the buffer pulley frame 93 diagonally downward. The buffer pulley frame 93 then pulls the second slider 88 diagonally downward, causing the second slider 88 to slide along the sliding hole away from the elastic locking mechanism. When the other end of the second slider 88 slides past the first sleeve 105 and the through hole 109 and reaches the cavity of the second sleeve 106, the tension on the second slider 88 is tilted even diagonally downward. If the second sleeve 106 is fixed on the mounting beam 104 at this time, the other end of the second slider 88 may get stuck in the second sleeve 106, preventing the second slider 88 from sliding out of the second sleeve 106. Conversely, if the second sleeve 106 is rotated and mounted on the mounting beam 104, when the other end of the second slider 88 slides to the second sleeve 106, under the action of the downward pulling force, the other end of the second slider 88 will drive the second sleeve 106 to rotate downward, so that the second slider 88 can slide out of the second sleeve 106.

[0069] Both locking brackets 86 are also fixed to one side of the mounting beam 104, that is, the locking brackets 86 and the first sleeve 105 are fixed to the same side of the mounting beam 104, and the first sleeve 105 is located between the two locking brackets 86. Two tensioning pulley frames 91 are installed on the other side of the mounting beam 104. Each tensioning pulley frame 91 has a tensioning pulley 92 rotatably mounted on it. The tensioning pulley frame 91 is hinged to the other side of the mounting beam 104 by a pin. That is to say, the tensioning pulley frame 91 can rotate up and down relative to the mounting beam 104. The tensioning pulley frame 91 and the second sleeve 106 are both located on the same side of the mounting beam 104, and the second sleeve 106 is located between the two tensioning pulley frames 91. After the second slider 88 is inserted into the sliding hole, one end of the second slider 88 is located between the two tension pulley frames 91 outside the second sleeve 106. Since the buffer pulley frame 93 is hinged to one end of the second slider 88, the buffer pulley 94 is located between the two tension pulleys 92. The other end of the second slider 88 is located between the two locking brackets 86 outside the first sleeve 105. Each locking bracket 86 is equipped with an elastic clamping arm 89, and the two elastic clamping arms 89 can clamp the other end of the second slider 88.

[0070] Each trolley frame 87 is fixedly equipped with a baffle 102, which is fixedly connected between the mounting beam 104 and the base plate 103. The baffle 102 has a rope-carrying hole 108. The function of the rope-carrying hole 108 is explained below using the first traction rope 75 and the second traction rope 76 as examples: both the first traction rope 75 and the second traction rope 76 form a ring structure, that is, both the first traction rope 75 and the second traction rope 76 include an upper traction rope and a lower traction rope, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the lower traction ropes of the first traction rope 75 and the second traction rope 76 both pass through the rope passage holes 108 on the baffles 102 of the first trolley 9 and the second trolley 10. This facilitates the arrangement of the first traction rope 75 and the second traction rope 76, and prevents them from interfering with each other. Similarly, the rope passage holes 108 on the third trolley 11 and the fourth trolley 12 also facilitate the arrangement of the third traction rope 79 and the fourth traction rope 80, which are in a ring structure. The rope passage holes 108 on the fifth trolley 13 and the sixth trolley 14 also facilitate the arrangement of the fifth traction rope 82 and the sixth traction rope 81, which are in a ring structure. The rope passage holes 108 on the seventh trolley 15 and the eighth trolley 16 also facilitate the arrangement of the seventh traction rope 77 and the eighth traction rope 78, which are in a ring structure.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first piston cylinder 27 being fixedly disposed below the first recovery platform 1 means that the cylinder body 123 of the first piston cylinder 27 is fixedly disposed on the ground, a ship or other suitable site for rocket recovery (of course, in specific installation, the cylinder body 123 of the first piston cylinder 27 is fixedly disposed on the above-mentioned site by a support frame), and the first piston cylinder 27 is located below the first recovery platform 1.

There are two or more first buffer fixed pulleys 38. The buffer movable pulley of the first piston cylinder 27 is a first buffer movable pulley 25.

The third recovery platform 3 is fixedly provided with a fifth buffer fixed pulley 53, and there are two or more fifth buffer fixed pulleys 53. The buffer movable pulley of the fifth piston cylinder 62 is a fifth buffer movable pulley 51, and there is at least one fifth buffer movable pulley 51. One end of the third buffer cable 23 alternately passes over the fifth buffer fixed pulley 53 and the fifth buffer movable pulley 51 in sequence and then winds around the fifth lowering winch 55. The fourth recovery platform 4 is fixedly provided with a sixth buffer fixed pulley 72, and there are two or more sixth buffer fixed pulleys 72. The buffer movable pulley of the sixth piston cylinder 63 is a sixth buffer movable pulley 74, and there is at least one sixth buffer movable pulley 74. The other end of the third buffer cable 23 alternately passes over the sixth buffer fixed pulley 72 and the sixth buffer movable pulley 74 in sequence and then winds around the sixth lowering winch 71.The fourth recovery platform 4 is fixedly provided with a seventh buffer fixed pulley 67, and there are two or more seventh buffer fixed pulleys 67. The buffer movable pulley of the seventh piston cylinder 64 is a seventh buffer movable pulley 73, and there is at least one seventh buffer movable pulley 73. One end of the fourth buffer cable 24 passes through the seventh buffer fixed pulley 67 and the seventh buffer movable pulley 73 in sequence and then winds around the seventh lowering winch 69.

The other end of the fourth buffer cable 24 passes through the eighth buffer fixed pulley 34 and the eighth buffer movable pulley 29 in sequence and then winds around the eighth lowering winch 33.

[0074] In this embodiment, there are three buffer fixed pulleys: the first buffer fixed pulley 38, the second buffer fixed pulley 45, the third buffer fixed pulley 49, the fourth buffer fixed pulley 58, the fifth buffer fixed pulley 53, the sixth buffer fixed pulley 72, the seventh buffer fixed pulley 67, and the eighth buffer fixed pulley 34. There are two buffer movable pulleys: the first buffer movable pulley 25, the second buffer movable pulley 41, the third buffer movable pulley 50, the fourth buffer movable pulley 60, the fifth buffer movable pulley 51, the sixth buffer movable pulley 74, the seventh buffer movable pulley 73, and the eighth buffer movable pulley 29. For the first piston cylinder 27, a support plate 121 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the piston rod 122. Two first buffer pulleys 25 are arranged side by side on the support plate 121. The second piston cylinder 40, the third piston cylinder 39, the fourth piston cylinder 61, the fifth piston cylinder 62, the sixth piston cylinder 63, the seventh piston cylinder 64 and the eighth piston cylinder 30 are all provided with their respective buffer pulleys in the same way as the first piston cylinder 27.

[0075] After the arresting hook of the rocket stage is engaged with the arresting cable, the rocket stage, under its own weight, pulls the middle of the arresting cable downwards. This causes the two ends of the buffer cable to pull the piston rod 122 of the piston cylinder upwards. Since the cylinder body 123 of the piston cylinder is fixed on the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery, the piston rod 122 moves upwards under the pull of the buffer cable. The piston 125 follows the piston rod 122 upwards and compresses the honeycomb aluminum 124 to provide a cushioning effect (e.g., Figure 22 , Figure 23As shown in the diagram, during this process, the lowering winch is in a braked state, meaning the drum of the lowering winch does not rotate. As the rocket stage continues to move downwards and the piston rod 122 continues to move upwards, driving the piston 125 to continue compressing the honeycomb aluminum 124, until both the rocket stage and the piston rod 122 stop moving, the lowering winch is activated to release the buffer cable on its drum in order to lower the rocket stage to a suitable height or to the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery. As the buffer cable is released, the rocket stage gradually moves downwards until it is lowered to a suitable height or to the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery. Of course, when lowering the rocket stage to a suitable height or to the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery, the speed of each lowering winch can be adjusted according to the actual situation to keep the rocket stage horizontal during the lowering process and prevent it from tipping over.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, and in combination Figures 2-13 As shown, each of the following sheaves—first trolley 9, second trolley 10, third trolley 11, fourth trolley 12, fifth trolley 13, sixth trolley 14, seventh trolley 15, and eighth trolley 16—has a tension sensor 84 fixedly attached to both ends. Specifically, each trolley has a tension sensor 84 fixedly attached to each of its two locking brackets 86. The two tension sensors 84 on the first trolley 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the first traction rope 75 via first turnbuckles 83. The two tension sensors 84 on the second trolley 10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the second traction rope 76 via second turnbuckles 85. The two tension sensors 84 on the third trolley 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the third traction rope 79 via third turnbuckles 95. The two tension sensors 84 on the fourth trolley 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fourth traction rope 80 via fourth turnbuckles 96. The two tension sensors 84 on the fifth trolley 13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fifth traction rope 82 via fifth turnbuckles 97, the two tension sensors 84 on the sixth trolley 14 are fixedly connected to both ends of the sixth traction rope 81 via sixth turnbuckles 98, the two tension sensors 84 on the seventh trolley 15 are fixedly connected to both ends of the seventh traction rope 77 via seventh turnbuckles 100, and the two tension sensors 84 on the eighth trolley 16 are fixedly connected to both ends of the eighth traction rope 78 via eighth turnbuckles 101.

[0077] The tension sensor 84 measures the tension of the traction rope, which is existing technology. The first turnbuckle 83, the second turnbuckle 85, the third turnbuckle 95, the fourth turnbuckle 96, the fifth turnbuckle 97, the sixth turnbuckle 98, the seventh turnbuckle 100, and the eighth turnbuckle 101 are all existing technologies. The length of the first traction rope 75 can be adjusted by the first turnbuckle 83, and the lengths of the other turnbuckles can be adjusted sequentially. These will not be described in detail.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, and in combination Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, a ninth turnbuckle 99 is connected to each of the first barrier cable 17, the second barrier cable 18, the third barrier cable 19, and the fourth barrier cable 20. The ninth turnbuckle 99 is prior art and can be used to adjust the length of the first barrier cable 17, the second barrier cable 18, the third barrier cable 19, and the fourth barrier cable 20.

[0079] like Figure 1As shown, in the rocket recovery system of the present invention, the recovery platform and slide rails are fixedly installed on the ground, on a ship, or on other suitable sites for rocket recovery (of course, in specific installations, the recovery platform and slide rails can be fixedly installed on the above-mentioned sites by means of support frames). When the rocket stage lands in the area enclosed by the first slide rail 5, the second slide rail 6, the third slide rail 7, and the fourth slide rail 8, the first traction winch 37, the second traction winch 46, the third traction winch 44, the fourth traction winch 56, the fifth traction winch 54, the sixth traction winch 68, the seventh traction winch 70, and the eighth traction winch 32 are activated. The first traction winch 37 pulls the first trolley 9 along the first slide rail 5 via the first traction rope 75. Simultaneously, the sixth traction winch 68 pulls the sixth trolley 14 along the third slide rail 7 via the sixth traction rope 81, causing the first trolley 9 and the sixth trolley 14 to slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the first arresting cable 17 begins to translate along the first and third slide rails 5 and 7. The second traction winch 46 pulls the second trolley 10 along the first slide rail 5 via the second traction rope 76. Simultaneously, the fifth traction winch 54 pulls the fifth trolley 13 along the third slide rail 7 via the fifth traction rope 82, causing the second trolley 10 and the fifth trolley 13 to slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the second arresting cable 18 begins to translate along the first and third slide rails 5 and 7. The third traction winch 44 pulls the third trolley 11 along the second slide rail 6 via the third traction rope 79. At the same time, the eighth traction winch 32 pulls the eighth trolley 16 along the fourth slide rail 8 via the eighth traction rope 78, and the third trolley 11 and the eighth trolley 16 slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the third arresting cable 19 begins to translate along the second slide rail 6 and the fourth slide rail 8. The fourth traction winch 56 pulls the fourth trolley 12 along the second slide rail 6 via the fourth traction rope 80. At the same time, the seventh traction winch 70 pulls the seventh trolley 15 along the fourth slide rail 8 via the seventh traction rope 77, and the fourth trolley 12 and the seventh trolley 15 slide synchronously in the same direction. Thus, the fourth arresting cable 20 begins to translate along the second slide rail 6 and the fourth slide rail 8.Based on the landing point of the rocket stage, the first arresting cable 17, the second arresting cable 18, the third arresting cable 19, and the fourth arresting cable 20 are moved to the perimeter of the rocket stage, i.e., the rocket stage is located within the square area enclosed by the first arresting cable 17, the second arresting cable 18, the third arresting cable 19, and the fourth arresting cable 20. As the rocket stage gradually descends, the four arresting cables are gradually brought closer to the rocket stage until the arresting hooks on the rocket stage are hooked onto the arresting cables (arresting hooks are installed around the rocket stage body to complete the recovery). Under the action of the rocket stage's own weight, the rocket stage pulls the arresting cables downwards, and the arresting cables, in turn, pull the piston rod 122 of the piston cylinder upwards through the buffer cable (at this time, the lowering winch is in the brake state). The piston rod 122 drives the piston 125 to move upwards, compressing the honeycomb aluminum 124 to play a buffering role, until the rocket stage and the piston rod 122 stop moving, thus completing the recovery of the rocket stage. Because this invention uses four arresting cables, and these cables are positioned around the rocket stage during recovery, even if the rocket stage's attitude and speed do not reach the ideal recovery state, the four arresting cables can easily hook onto the rocket stage and complete the recovery. Therefore, this invention can reduce the requirements for the rocket's attitude and speed during recovery and improve the success rate of rocket recovery. After the rocket stage is hooked onto the arresting cables, under its own weight, the rocket stage pulls the arresting cables diagonally downwards. The arresting cables pull the second slider 88 through the buffer pulley bracket 93. The second slider 88 unlocks from the elastic locking mechanism, and the arresting cables also pull the buffer cable diagonally downwards. As a result, the two ends of the buffer cable pull the piston rod 122 upwards until the rocket stage and piston rod 122 no longer move up and down. Next, the lowering winch is started, causing it to rotate and release the buffer cable. As the buffer cable is released, the rocket stage gradually moves downwards until it reaches a suitable height. Alternatively, the rocket stage can be lowered directly to the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery. Then, the rocket stage is removed from the arresting cable for reuse.

[0080] Example 2

[0081] like Figure 24 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the structure of the buffer mechanism. In this embodiment, the buffer mechanism only includes the lowering winch, while omitting the piston cylinder, as detailed below:

[0082] The first buffer mechanism is a first lowering winch 31 fixedly installed below the first recovery platform 1; the second buffer mechanism is a second lowering winch 43 fixedly installed below the second recovery platform 2; the third buffer mechanism is a third lowering winch 42 fixedly installed below the second recovery platform 2; the fourth buffer mechanism is a fourth lowering winch 57 fixedly installed below the third recovery platform 3; the fifth buffer mechanism is a fifth lowering winch 55 fixedly installed below the third recovery platform 3; the sixth buffer mechanism is a sixth lowering winch 71 fixedly installed below the fourth recovery platform 4; the seventh buffer mechanism is a seventh lowering winch 69 fixedly installed below the fourth recovery platform 4; and the eighth buffer mechanism is an eighth lowering winch 33 fixedly installed below the first recovery platform 1. A first buffer pulley 38 is fixedly installed on the first recovery platform 1. One end of the first buffer cable 21 passes over the first buffer pulley 38 and is wound around the first lowering winch 31. A second buffer pulley 45 is fixedly installed on the second recovery platform 2. The other end of the first buffer cable 21 passes over the second buffer pulley 45 and is wound around the second lowering winch 43. A third buffer pulley 49 is fixedly installed on the second recovery platform 2. One end of the second buffer cable 22 passes over the third buffer pulley 49 and is wound around the third lowering winch 42. A fourth buffer pulley 58 is fixedly installed on the third recovery platform 3. The other end of the second buffer cable 22 passes over the fourth buffer pulley 58 and is wound around the fourth lowering winch 57. The third recovery platform 3 is fixedly provided with a fifth buffer pulley 53. One end of the third buffer cable 23 passes over the fifth buffer pulley 53 and is wound around the fifth lowering winch 55. The fourth recovery platform 4 is fixedly provided with a sixth buffer pulley 72. The other end of the third buffer cable 23 passes over the sixth buffer pulley 72 and is wound around the sixth lowering winch 71. The fourth recovery platform 4 is fixedly provided with a seventh buffer pulley 67. One end of the fourth buffer cable 24 passes over the seventh buffer pulley 67 and is wound around the seventh lowering winch 69. The first recovery platform 1 is fixedly provided with an eighth buffer pulley 34. The other end of the fourth buffer cable 24 passes over the eighth buffer pulley 34 and is wound around the eighth lowering winch 33.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first buffer fixed pulley 38, the second buffer fixed pulley 45, the third buffer fixed pulley 49, the fourth buffer fixed pulley 58, the fifth buffer fixed pulley 53, the sixth buffer fixed pulley 72, the seventh buffer fixed pulley 67, and the eighth buffer fixed pulley 34 are all provided as one.

[0084] The first lowering winch 31 being fixedly located below the first recovery platform 1 means that the first lowering winch 31 is fixedly located on the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery, and is positioned below the first recovery platform 1. Similarly, the second lowering winch 43, the third lowering winch 42, the fourth lowering winch 57, the fifth lowering winch 55, the sixth lowering winch 71, the seventh lowering winch 69, and the eighth lowering winch 33 are also fixedly located on the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery, with the second lowering winch 43 and the third lowering winch 42 located below the second recovery platform 2, the fourth lowering winch 57 and the fifth lowering winch 55 located below the third recovery platform 3, the sixth lowering winch 71 and the seventh lowering winch 69 located below the fourth recovery platform 4, and the eighth lowering winch 33 located below the first recovery platform 1.

[0085] Each buffer cable is connected to a lowering winch at both ends. When the arresting hook of the rocket stage is hooked onto the arresting cable, the rocket stage pulls the arresting cable downwards under its own weight. The arresting cable then pulls the buffer cable, which in turn pulls the lowering winch at both ends. At this time, the lowering winch releases the buffer cable on its drum at an appropriate speed to achieve a buffering effect. As the rocket stage continues to move downwards, the speed at which the lowering winch releases the buffer cable becomes slower and slower until the lowering winch stops releasing the buffer cable. At this point, the rocket stage also stops moving downwards, thus completing the capture of the rocket stage. To lower the rocket stage to a suitable height or directly to the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery, the lowering winch is restarted to release the buffer cable on its drum. As the buffer cable is released, the rocket stage gradually moves downward until it is lowered to a suitable height or to the ground, a ship, or other suitable site for rocket recovery. Finally, the rocket stage is removed from the arresting cable for reuse.
