[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a rocket main binding structure comprises: a main binding structure 2, a main binding rod 8 and a limiting device;

[0039] The main binding structure 2 is fixedly arranged on the core stage; the main binding structure 2 includes a ball socket 9 of a hemispherical structure; the opening of the ball socket 9 is arranged on the outer wall of the segment shell 1;

[0040] A ball head 10 is fixedly provided at the end of the main binding rod 8; the ball head 10 is adapted to the ball socket 9 and is arranged in the ball socket 9;

[0041] The limiting device is configured to limit the ball head 10 when the main binding structure of the rocket is in a locked state, preventing the ball head 10 from escaping from the ball socket 9; after the main binding structure of the rocket is adjusted to an unlocked state, the limiting of the ball head 10 is released, allowing the ball head 10 to escape from the ball socket 9.

[0042] The limiting device includes a stopper pressing ring 5 and a ball stopper 7. The main part of the stopper pressing ring 5 is arranged outside the segment shell 1, and is slidably connected to the segment shell 1 along the core radial direction. The ball stopper 7 is hinged to the segment shell 1 or the main bundling structure 2 through a rotating pin 11. That is, a hinge seat with a through hole is arranged on the side of the segment shell 1 or the main bundling structure 2, and the rotating pin 11 passes through the through hole and penetrates both the ball stopper 7 and the hinge seat, so as to realize the hinge between the ball stopper 7 and the segment shell 1 or the main bundling structure 2.

[0043] The block pressure ring 5 is in transmission connection with the ball head block 7, driving the ball head block 7 to rotate along the hinge axis, so that the ball head block 7 is in a locked position or an unlocked position. When the ball head block 7 is in the locked position, the ball head block 7 blocks the ball head 10 at least along the axial direction of the main binding rod 8 to prevent the ball head 10 from escaping from the ball socket 9. When the ball head block 7 is in the unlocked position, the ball head block 7 is separated from the surface of the ball head 10 and forms an escape space for the ball head 10 to escape from the ball socket 9.

[0044] As an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting device further comprises a first connecting rod 6. The stopper pressing ring 5 and the ball stopper 7 are connected to each other by transmission via the first connecting rod 6. One end of the first connecting rod 6 is hinged to the stopper pressing ring 5, and the other end is hinged to the ball stopper 7.

[0045] The stopper pressing ring 5 includes a stopper pressing ring body 51 and a stopper pressing ring finger 52. The stopper pressing ring body 5 is arranged outside the segment housing 1 and is slidably connected to the segment housing 1 along the core stage radial direction. The stopper pressing ring finger 52 is away from the segment housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the stopper pressing ring finger 52. The stopper pressing ring finger 52 has the same number as the ball head stopper 7, and is used to drive the ball head stopper 7 to rotate the rotating pin 11 under the drive of the stopper pressing ring body 51.

[0046] The ball stopper 7 includes a stopper body 71, a ball stopper surface 72 and a slide slot hole 73. The slide slot hole 73 is a long hole groove that penetrates the stopper body 71. The first connecting rod 6 is hinged to the ball stopper 7 through a hinge shaft arranged in the slide slot hole 73. At the same time, relying on the arrangement of the slide slot hole 73, the connecting end of the first connecting rod 6 can slide in the slide slot hole 73. In addition, in order to ensure that the ball stopper 7 can rotate around the rotating pin 11 driven by the stopper pressing ring 5, the axis of the rotating pin 11, the axis of the hinge shaft between the first connecting rod 6 and the ball stopper 7, and the axis of the hinge shaft between the first connecting rod 6 and the stopper pressing ring 5 are parallel to each other, and the three form a triangle on their vertical planes.

[0047] In actual use, the length of the slide slot hole 73 can be set and adjusted according to the sliding distance of the stopper pressing ring 5 and the rotation angle of the ball head stopper 7 .

[0048] During the process of the block pressure ring 5 moving radially outward along the core stage, the connection between the first connecting rod 6 and the block pressure ring 5 moves synchronously with the block pressure ring 5. At the same time, under the connecting action of the first connecting rod 6, the ball head block 7 is driven to rotate around the rotating pin 11, so that the ball head block 7 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0049] When the ball head stopper 7 is in the locked position, the ball head stopper surface 72 is in close contact with the ball head 10 , and the stopper body 71 blocks the ball head 10 axially in the main binding rod 8 , thereby effectively preventing the ball head 10 from falling out of the ball socket 9 .

[0050] When the ball head stopper 7 is in the unlocked position, the stopper body 71 rotates around the rotating pin 11 until the ball head stopper surface 72 is in a non-contact state with the ball head 10, and in the axial direction of the main binding rod 8, the ball head stopper surface 72 is outside the movement path of the edge of the ball head 10, so that the ball head stopper 7 is separated from the surface of the ball head 10 and forms an escape space for the ball head 10 to escape from the ball socket 9, thereby preventing the ball head 10 from being obstructed when escaping from the ball socket 9.

[0051] In addition, to ensure that the ball stopper 7 can be in the locked position and the unlocked position, the limiting device also includes a locking mechanism for maintaining the ball stopper 7 in the locked position and an unlocking mechanism for pushing the ball stopper 7 into the unlocked position.

[0052] The locking mechanism is arranged inside the segment housing 1; the locking mechanism is configured to achieve the stability of the position of the ball head stopper 7 in the axial direction of the main binding rod 8 by relying on the locking force generated by it or relying on the support of its own structure;

[0053] The unlocking mechanism is transmission-connected to the stopper pressing ring 5; the unlocking mechanism is configured to overcome the locking force of the locking mechanism or destroy the structure of the locking mechanism to drive the stopper pressing ring 5 to slide relative to the segment housing 1 and push the ball head stopper 7 into the unlocking position.

[0054] Among them, the unlocking mechanism includes a pushing component and a transmission component; the pushing component is connected to the block pressure ring 5 through the transmission component, and the pushing force is applied to the block pressure ring 5 to push the ball head block 7 into the unlocking position.

[0055] In another embodiment of the present invention, the block pressure ring 5 also includes a plurality of slide bars 53 that penetrate the segment shell 1. The slide bars 53 are slidably connected to the segment shell 1 and the main binding structure 2 in the radial direction of the core stage. One end of the slide bar 53 is fixedly connected to the block pressure ring body 51, and the other end extends into the interior of the segment shell 1. The connecting end of the slide bar 53 and the block pressure ring body 51 is the opposite end of the connection between the block pressure ring finger 52 and the block pressure ring body 51. That is, the block pressure ring body 51 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 53 on the side close to the core stage, and is fixedly connected to the block pressure ring finger 52 on the side away from the core stage.

[0056] The locking mechanism includes a limiting cap 3, which is fixedly connected to a slide rod 53 extending into the interior of the section housing 1. The block pressure ring 5 can be in a stable state under the limiting action of the limiting cap 3. In this state, since the position of the block pressure ring 5 will not change, the block body 71 can be limited by the tensioning action of the first connecting rod 6, and the ball head blocking surface 72 is in close contact with the ball head 10. By relying on the blocking action of the block body 71 on the axial direction of the main binding rod 8 on the ball head 10, when the ball head block 7 is in the locked position, the ball head 10 is effectively prevented from falling out of the ball socket 9.

[0057] When unlocking is required, the thrust force generated by the thrust component is transmitted to the slide bar 53 by the transmission component, and the limiting cap 3 or the connection between the limiting cap 3 and the slide bar 53 is destroyed, causing the limiting cap 3 to lose its limiting function, thereby causing the slide bar 53 to push the block pressure ring body 51 to move, and the block body 71 to rotate, and the ball head block 7 rotates to the unlocking position, ensuring that the ball head 10 can be released from the ball socket 9. It should be noted that the thrust component needs to have a sufficiently large thrust force to destroy the limiting cap 3, and after the limiting cap 3 is destroyed, it can push the slide bar 53 to move radially along the core stage to ensure that the ball head block 7 enters the unlocking position.

[0058] In other embodiments of the present invention, the thrust component is a gas-propelled component that stores high-pressure gas. After the pipeline between the high-pressure gas cylinder and the actuating component is connected, the high-pressure gas generates a thrust force to push the corresponding actuating component to move.

[0059] In other embodiments of the present invention, the push-pushing component is an elastic push-pushing component, such as a pre-compressed compression spring or a gas spring. The elastic push-pushing component relies on the push-pushing force generated when decompressing to push the action component to move, providing power for the ball head stopper 7 to enter the unlocking position.

[0060] In other embodiments of the present invention, the transmission component is a crank slider mechanism, a multi-link mechanism, a worm gear mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, or a combination thereof. It should be noted that, under the premise that the thrust force generated by the thrust component can be transmitted to the block pressing ring 5 and the block pressing ring 5 can be ensured to have a sufficient stroke, the existing transmission mechanism can be applied to the present invention. Since the transmission mechanism belongs to an existing mature solution, it will not be repeated here.

[0061] As another embodiment of the present invention, the locking mechanism also includes a preload spring 4, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the slide rod 53 and is arranged between the limit cap 3 and the inner wall of the segment housing 1. The locking mechanism relies on the elastic force of the preload spring 4 and the limit cap 3 to ensure that the block pressure ring 5 is in a stable state. In this state, since the position of the block pressure ring 5 does not change, the block body 71 can be limited by the tensioning effect of the first connecting rod 6, and the ball head blocking surface 72 is in close contact with the ball head 10. The block body 71 relies on the axial blocking effect of the main binding rod 8 on the ball head 10, so that when the ball head block 7 is in the locked position, the ball head 10 is effectively prevented from falling out of the ball socket 9.

[0062] Due to the setting of the preload spring 4, when using the unlocking mechanism to unlock, it is only necessary to ensure that the force generated by the thrust component transmitted by the transmission component can overcome the elastic force of the preload spring 4 and push the block pressure ring 5 to a sufficient stroke, which greatly reduces the requirements for the thrust component and the transmission component, effectively reduces the weight of the unlocking mechanism itself, and ensures the carrying capacity of the rocket.

[0063] As another embodiment of the present invention, the ball head stopper 7 has multiple pieces; the multiple ball head stoppers 7 are evenly distributed around the ball head 10 with the axis of the main binding rod 8 as the center. The multiple ball head stoppers 7 can provide a more uniform locking support force to the ball head 10, reducing the strength and stiffness requirements of a single ball head stopper 7. At the same time, the multiple ball head stoppers 7 are evenly distributed, so that the multiple ball head stoppers 7 form limiting points located on the same circle in the contact area with the ball head 10. The multiple limiting points limit and fix the ball head 10, forming a ring-type structure, thereby improving the locking effect.

[0064] Preferably, the number of the ball head stoppers 7 is not less than 3. The contact areas of the ball head stoppers 7 and the ball head 10 of more than 3 pieces can form the same limiting surface, thereby improving the stability of locking the ball head 10.

[0065] A rocket main bundling structure, when in operation, comprises:

[0066] Before separation begins, the entire system is in a self-locking state, that is, when the ball head 10 has a radial force to move outward, the force of the ball head stopper 7 pushing the stopper pressure ring 5 has no outward component, so the system is in a stable state.

[0067] When separation begins, the thrust components and transmission components in the segment housing 1 apply a thrust force to the stopper pressing ring 5, which overcomes the elastic force of the preload spring 4 or the limiting effect of the limiting cap 3 to enable the stopper pressing ring 5 to translate radially outward along the core stage.

[0068] After the separation begins, as the block pressure ring 5 moves outward, it drives the first connecting rod 6 to pull the ball head block 7 outward to open until the end of the movement. The ball head block 7 no longer has an axial blocking effect on the ball head 10 on the main binding rod 8, and the ball head 10 escapes from the ball socket 9, realizing the separation and unlocking of the rocket main binding structure by non-pyrotechnic means.
