[0043] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] The present application discloses a large-scale parallel rocket engine assembly device, which is suitable for large-scale multi-machine parallel rocket engines. Due to the engine's own state and assembly process constraints, the engine cannot be placed on the ground during the assembly process and needs to be suspended for assembly. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, its structure mainly consists of four parts: frame reinforcement ring 1, support adjustment device 2, engine posture adjustment trolley 3, and contour operation platform 4. With frame reinforcement ring 1 as the parallel engine assembly reference, after the frame reinforcement ring 1 is suspended at an appropriate height through the support adjustment device 2, the docking posture of the engine posture adjustment trolley 3 is adjusted to achieve parallel docking of engines one by one. After parallel docking, the contour operation platform 4 is assembled to enable the operator to work at high altitude. Among them:

[0045] like Figure 3As shown, the main body of the frame reinforcement ring 1 is made of rectangular square tubes welded together, which is used to connect and fix the engine (or frame) and improve the rigidity of the engine frame. Its main body is welded together: an annular main body 11, an engine connecting plate 12, a supporting device connecting plate 13, a safety fence 14, and a safety rope connecting plate 15. After welding, the gantry frame has various docking dimensions. The annular body 11 is a polygonal annular structure made of rectangular square tubes welded together. The engine connecting plate 12 and the supporting device connecting plate 13 are respectively welded to the upper and lower end surfaces of the annular body 11. The engine connecting plate 12 is used to fix the engine frame; the supporting device connecting plate 13 is used to connect the supporting adjustment device 2 when the engines are assembled in parallel, and is used to connect the transport box when the engine is transported as a whole; the safety fence 14 is installed at the upper end of the frame reinforcement ring 1, and a tool box is set on the safety fence 14, which is used to prevent operators and tools from falling from a high altitude and causing injuries when the engines are assembled in parallel. The safety fence is dismantled during transportation to reduce the height of the transported goods; the safety rope connecting plate 15 is installed on the side of the frame reinforcement ring 1, and the other end is connected to the operator to avoid and reduce the risk of falling from a high altitude and injuries.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the support adjustment device 2 is a triangular pyramid structure, which is used to support the frame reinforcement ring 1. Each group has 4 pieces, which are distributed in four quadrants when in use. The frame reinforcement ring 1 is leveled through the ratchet structure, so that the parallel engine mounted on the frame reinforcement ring 1 remains horizontal. The support adjustment device 2 mainly consists of a fixed ladder 21, a transition ladder 22, and a support ladder 23. Among them, the fixed ladder 21, the transition ladder 22, and the support ladder 23 are welded with foot pedals on the outside for manual climbing; the fixed ladder 21 is the basis of the support adjustment device 2, supporting the transition ladder 22 and the support ladder 23 on the top, supporting the ground on the bottom, and setting a crossbeam at an appropriate height for forklifts to carry and turn around; the transition ladder 22 supports the support ladder 23 on the top, and is connected to the fixed ladder 21 on the bottom. When in use, the transition ladder 22 of different specifications can be replaced according to the assembly height requirements of the parallel engine; the support ladder 23 supports the frame reinforcement ring 1 on the top, and is connected to the transition ladder 22 on the bottom, and its own support height can be adjusted through the ratchet device.

[0047] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown in Figures a and b, the main structure of the support ladder 23 consists of: a bracket 231, a threaded shaft 232, a rotating sleeve 233, a thrust bearing 234, a threaded sleeve 235, a support shaft 236, and a locking nut 237. A force handle 2331 and a reversing mechanism are respectively provided on the outer side and the upper end of the rotating sleeve 23 to achieve the raising and lowering of the height of the support ladder 23. One end of the bracket 231 is fixedly connected to the transition ladder 22, and the other end is connected to the middle cylinder. The threaded shaft 232 is inserted into the middle cylinder, and the threaded shaft 232 and the middle cylinder move along the axial direction of the middle cylinder. The threaded sleeve 235 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded shaft 232, and the threaded sleeve 235 is located above the middle cylinder. The thrust bearing 234 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded shaft 232 and is located between the threaded sleeve 235 and the middle cylinder. The rotating sleeve 233 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded shaft 232. The reversing mechanism includes a rotating shaft seat 2332, a rotating shaft 2333 and a rotating baffle 2334. The force application handle 233 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 233, and a rotating shaft seat 2332 is arranged on the upper surface of the force application handle 2331. The rotating shaft seat 2332 is rotatably connected to a rotating baffle 2334 through the rotating shaft 2333. There is a snap-in portion on each side of the rotating baffle 2334. The outer shape of the threaded sleeve 235 is processed with a plurality of tooth grooves 2351. By rotating the rotating baffle 2334, the snap-in portions on both sides of the rotating baffle 2334 can be snapped into the tooth grooves on both sides of the rotating shaft 2333 respectively. The snap-in portion is inclined toward the rotating shaft 2333. The inclined surface gradually moves away from the rotating shaft 2333 along the direction in which the two snap-in portions depart from each other. The rotating baffle 2334 is moved to the position where the rotating baffle 2334 is moved to the position where the rotating shaft 23 ... Figure 6 When the rotating sleeve 233 is in the position shown, the rotating sleeve 233 rotates clockwise, the rotating baffle 2334 slips off the tooth groove, the rotating sleeve 233 rotates counterclockwise, the rotating baffle 2334 pushes the threaded sleeve 235 to rotate clockwise, so that the threaded shaft 232 moves upward or downward; when the rotating baffle 2334 is moved to the other side, the rotating sleeve 233 rotates counterclockwise, the rotating baffle 2334 slips off the tooth groove, the rotating sleeve 233 rotates clockwise, the rotating baffle 2334 pushes the threaded sleeve 235 to rotate clockwise, so that the threaded shaft 232 and the rotating baffle 2334 are moved to the Figure 6 The movement direction in the position shown is opposite. Through the above arrangement, the rotation of the rotating sleeve 233 drives the thrust bearing 234 to rotate, and the rotation of the thrust bearing 234 drives the threaded shaft 232 to move vertically up and down.

[0048] The outer circumferential surface of the threaded shaft 232 is provided with a mounting groove, and the outer circumferential surface of the threaded shaft 232 is a connecting thread section with external threads from the mounting groove of the threaded shaft 232 to the top part of the threaded shaft 232. The outer diameter of the connecting thread section is larger than the outer diameter of the threaded shaft 232 at the mounting groove position. A connecting groove is provided at one end of the support shaft 236, and the connecting groove includes an internal thread section gradually approaching the other end of the support shaft 236 and a second chamber. The inner diameter of the internal thread section is smaller than the inner diameter of the second chamber. The inner wall surface of the internal thread section is provided with an internal thread that matches the connecting thread section. The internal thread section is screwed through the connecting thread section of the threaded shaft 232 and is located in the mounting groove, and the width of the mounting groove is smaller than the height of the second chamber. When the internal thread section is located in the mounting groove, there is a clearance fit between the support shaft 236 and the threaded shaft 232. When docking, the support shaft 236 can be shaken to fine-tune the position. After the support shaft 236 passes through the support device connecting plate 13 connected to the frame reinforcement ring 1 , the locking nut 237 is tightened onto the support shaft 236 , thereby fixing the support ladder 23 to the frame reinforcement ring 1 .

[0049] like Figure 7As shown, the engine posture adjustment trolley 3 has a structure consisting of a forklift connecting plate 31, a base 32, a bottom slide 33, an upper slide 34, a turntable 35, a support column 36, and a control console 37. The forklift connecting plate 31 is integrated with the base 32 for the overall turnover of the engine posture adjustment trolley 3; the bottom slide 33 and the upper slide 34 are used to adjust the horizontal dimensions in the X / Y directions during the engine docking process, the X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction, the bottom slide 33 is located on the upper surface of the base 32 and is horizontally slidably connected to the base 32 along the X direction, and the upper slide 34 is located on the upper surface of the bottom slide 33 and is slidably connected to the bottom slide 33 along the Y direction; the turntable 35 is used to adjust the C-direction during the engine docking process, the turntable 35 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the upper slide 34, and the rotation axis of the turntable 35 is perpendicular to the X direction and the Y direction; 4 support columns 36 are arranged, and the 4 support columns 36 are evenly distributed and connected to the edge positions of the base 32. The support columns 36 and the control console 37 are hydraulic systems to make the height of the support columns 36 adjustable. Through the operation of the control console, the support columns 36 can be linked or moved separately to achieve Z-direction height adjustment and A-direction pitch adjustment during the engine docking process. The turntable 35 (the top turntable) is a rotating disk. During the engine installation process, it can be adjusted in the forward and reverse direction according to the actual angle (C direction). After the engine is pre-aligned, the first turntable can be positioned by the locking device, and then the next step can be carried out; the bottom slide 33 and the upper slide 34 are displacement adjustment platforms in the X and Y directions respectively. Linear guides are used to determine the displacement path, and screws are used as displacement power. The forward and reverse rotation hand wheels are used to adjust the displacement lengths in the X and Y directions. The amount of displacement is visually determined according to the docking conditions. The trolley support column 36 and the control console 37 are 4 sets of cylinders and 1 set of hydraulic control units, which provide power for vertical lifting (Z direction) and angle adjustment (A angle). The cylinders are located at the four corners of the tooling, and four-way independent manual reversing valves are used to realize independent lifting of the cylinders. During the docking process of the workpieces, the holes are aligned by visual inspection. The cylinders have their own stroke scales to facilitate the calculation of relative positions. In order to achieve the requirements of safe docking and installation accuracy and ensure reliable and stable operation under extreme conditions of full load and maximum inclination angle, a plurality of support wheels are designed at the edge of the lower surface of the turntable 35. The support wheels are in contact with the surface of the upper slide 34 so that the turntable 35 is subjected to distributed force.

[0050] like Figure 8As shown, the contoured operating platform 4 surrounds the parallel engine and is used for operators to perform high-altitude operations. The contoured operating platform 4 includes four split platforms. When the contoured operating platform 4 is idle, it is in a split structure. After the parallel assembly process of the engine is completed, the four split platforms are assembled and connected and fixed to the support adjustment device 2 to form a stable structure. The main structure of each split platform consists of: an aluminum alloy bracket 41, a fixed pedal 42, a flip pedal 43, a movable caster 44, and a locking device 45. There are 4 aluminum alloy brackets 41 of all split platforms, and their inner profiles are manufactured according to the size of the engine after parallel connection, and the height and external dimensions are coordinated and determined according to the engine assembly operation requirements; the fixed pedal 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the aluminum alloy bracket 41, and the two ends of the top of the aluminum alloy bracket 41 are respectively connected to a flip pedal 43, and when the profiling operation platform 4 is idle, the flip pedal 43 rotates to a vertical state; after the aluminum alloy bracket 41 is assembled in place, the flip pedal 43 rotates downward and rests on the upper end surface of the transition ladder 22 in the support adjustment device 2, and is connected and fixed.
