Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a rocket engine technology, in particular to a rocket body and engine splicing technology, specifically a device and method for docking a multi-engine single-unit parallel structure based on a hoisting small envelope rocket. Background Art
[0002] There are two main methods of parallel docking of multiple engines on a launch vehicle. One is that a single engine is docked with the rocket body through a rack, and the other is that multiple engines (two or four engines) are docked and assembled with the rocket body through a common rack.
[0003] At present, the docking method for most types of rocket engines is horizontal docking. When the engine is parked, it is in a vertical state (nozzle downward); for engines with smaller mass, the engine is lifted to a horizontal state through the double hooks of the engine frame and the engine throat to dock with the rocket body; for engines with larger mass, a squirrel cage tooling is generally used to connect with the process hole of the engine frame, and the squirrel cage and engine assembly are flipped to a horizontal state for docking with the rocket body.
[0004] The only example of vertical engine docking is a certain model of core stage. The engine has a dual-engine shared frame structure. Due to the large mass of the engine, the frame deforms greatly during the horizontal docking process, the docking holes are difficult to align, and the installation of the docking bolts is more difficult. Therefore, a vertical docking method is adopted to dock the engine with the rear transition section and tail section in a vertical state, and then the entire assembly is flipped horizontally and docked horizontally with the rocket body.
[0005] There is no parallel docking and assembly of multiple engines in the current domestic launch vehicles. A new model of rocket adopts a parallel structure of multiple engines (not a shared frame) for the first time. Figure 8 As shown, there are significant differences from existing models in terms of the number of engines, structural form and installation method. The multi-engine parallel structure results in a small engine compartment space, small gaps between each engine, and unavoidable interference between each engine and between the engine and tooling, which greatly increases the difficulty of docking and assembly of the multi-engine parallel structure.
[0006] (1) The docking device is large and exceeds the envelope of the existing rocket engine body.
[0007] Currently, the docking technology for engines of active models is all single-machine docking, and the docking devices all adopt a squirrel-cage structure. After the engine is dropped into the squirrel cage for connection, the squirrel cage and product assembly are lifted vertically, flipped to a horizontal state, and dropped onto a docking trolley for docking. The squirrel-cage hoist itself has a large structure, far exceeding the envelope of the rocket engine itself. If it is used for docking of multiple engines in parallel, it will inevitably interfere with nearby engines and other structures on the rocket, making docking impossible.
[0008] (2) The rocket engine and environment structures are complex, and the docking device has a single attitude adjustment method.
[0009] At present, the new generation of manned rockets adopts a docking solution with a multi-engine single-unit parallel structure (non-shared frame). Compared with the current rockets, the rocket engine's main body structure and rocket engine environment are more complex, there are fewer parts supported by the lifting fixture, and the operating space is more limited. The existing lifting docking solution that only uses a crane to adjust the attitude cannot meet the docking requirements of the new generation of manned carrier rockets with multi-engine single-unit parallel structure. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problem of interference that is prone to occur during the docking process of each engine in a multi-engine single-unit parallel structure, and to invent a docking device and method for a multi-engine single-unit parallel structure based on a hoisting-type small-envelope rocket. The combined holding ring and contoured holding hoop structure are designed by fully utilizing the only two load-bearing points on the engine, thereby simplifying the structure of the rocket engine docking device, making the overall envelope of the docking device smaller than the envelope of the single engine, and realizing the docking of a single engine of a multi-engine single-unit parallel structure in a narrow space under complex working conditions, solving the interference problem of each engine in the multi-engine single-unit parallel structure during the docking process, and at the same time eliminating safety risks, thereby improving the reliability and work efficiency of the docking of the multi-engine single-unit parallel structure in a narrow space under complex working conditions.

A method for docking a multi-engine single-unit parallel structure of a small-envelope rocket based on the docking device of claim 1, characterized in that The following steps are involved: First, the docking device is assembled, and the crane (1), the inclined steel cable (2), the crossbeam (3) and the length adjustment device (4) are assembled; Then, the combined holding ring (7) and the contour holding hoop (6) are fixed on the rocket engine (5); the rocket engine (5) is initially in a vertical state, with the nozzle (8) and the contour holding hoop (6) at the bottom, and the frame (10) and the combined holding ring (7) at the top. One set of the length adjustment device (4) is connected to the hanging shaft (14) on the combined holding ring (7). After the connection is completed, the length adjustment device (4) is limited by the holding ring limiting nut (13). Then, the crane (1) vertically lifts the rocket engine (5). When the nozzle (8) is about 1m from the ground, another set of the length adjustment device (4) is connected to the end shaft neck (29) on the contour holding hoop (6). After the connection is completed, the hoop limiting nut (30) is used to limit the position. After the state is confirmed, the crane (1) is connected to the contour holding hoop (6) of the nozzle (8). 1) rises, and the crane (1) at the combined holding ring (7) connected to the frame (10) descends until the rocket engine (5) is turned over to a horizontal state, and then parked on the front turnover bracket (34) and the rear turnover bracket (35); in order to reduce the overall envelope of the rocket engine (5) when docking and realize the docking of the rocket engine (5) in a narrow space, the length adjustment device (4) connected to the hanging shaft (14) on the combined holding ring (7) is decomposed and connected to the hanging ring (18) on the combined holding ring (7), and the two locations are symmetrical; after the connection is completed, the two cranes (1) synchronously lift the rocket engine (5), and through the cooperation of the two cranes (1) and the adjustment of the four length adjustment devices (4), the six degrees of freedom of the rocket engine (5) can be adjusted, and then the rocket engine (5) and the rocket are docked.
