Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a multi-directionally adjustable very low impact maintenance-free point-type separation device, belonging to the technical field of spacecraft structures. Background Art

[0002] As a key component of the aircraft, the performance of the separation device directly affects whether the flight mission can be successfully completed. As the most commonly used pyrotechnic point separation device, the separation nut device has the advantages of high reliability, compact size, and small impact response compared to traditional pyrotechnic point separation devices such as explosive bolts. It has been widely used in the separation of spacecraft and rockets.

[0003] However, since the separation nut device has a more complex structure than traditional pyrotechnic point separation devices such as explosive bolts, there are many faults during the installation, use and maintenance process caused by improper operation, resulting in poor product performance or even failure to work, thus leading to the failure of the launch mission.

[0004] At the same time, with the rapid development of my country's aerospace engineering in recent years, the accuracy of modern satellite observation and positioning has gradually improved, and the types and quantities of precision instruments used in carriers and satellites have increased. These high-precision instruments and equipment have increasingly stringent requirements for low-impact environments, requiring that the impact response within the 4000Hz frequency domain be no greater than 1000g. However, the impact response of traditional pyrotechnic point separation devices in service is generally not less than 5000g within the 4000Hz frequency domain, which cannot meet the low-impact requirements of precision instruments and equipment.

[0005] In order to solve the problem of large impact response of the existing traditional pyrotechnic point separation device, the commonly used methods include adding buffer energy absorption devices on the impact path, reducing the amount of explosives, etc. However, it is difficult to meet the requirement of impact response not exceeding 1000g in the 4000Hz frequency domain by simply taking a certain impact reduction method.

Figure 4 shown.

[0053] The catcher assembly 2 includes a catcher housing 29, a bolt sleeve 30, a catcher bushing 31, a catcher tail cover 32, a catcher spring 33, a catcher cushion 34, a catcher screw 35, a second screw cushion 36, and a second washer 37. Figure 5 shown.

[0054] The upper connection block 4 is provided with a through hole in the center for installing the shear cone sleeve 6, and the mounting surface is provided with a threaded hole for connecting with the separation nut assembly 1. The upper connection block 4 is provided with a ball socket structure 39, which can be adjusted in the circumferential direction through the ball socket-ball head structure when installed with the upper connection structure, so as to adapt to multi-angle installation and connection, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0055] A conical hole is provided on the bottom surface of the lower connecting block 5, and the conical angle of the conical hole matches the shear-resistant cone sleeve 6. A threaded hole is provided on the mounting surface to connect with the catcher assembly 2. A recess 40 is provided on the bottom of the lower connecting block 5, and the number of recesses can be set as required to reduce the unlocking impact transmitted from the connecting surface of the upper connecting block 4 to the lower connecting block 5. Figure 8 shown.

[0056] The shear-resistant cone sleeve 6 is assembled on the upper connecting block 4 and fits with the connecting block 4. The cone surface matches with the cone hole of the lower connecting block 5. The center hole is coaxial with the through holes of the upper connecting block 4 and the lower connecting block 5, so as to realize the shear-resistant function of the very low impact separation device. Fig. 9 shown.

[0057] The buffer pad 7 is arranged between the capturer assembly 2 and the mounting surface of the lower connecting block 5 to reduce the impact response transmitted to the lower connecting block 5 by the connecting bolt 3 hitting the capturer buffer pad 34 when unlocking.

[0058] A limiting groove is provided at the contact point between the flywheel 26 and the base 28 and the ball 27 . The flywheel 26 , the ball 27 and the base 28 form a bearing mechanism. A lead screw thread is provided at the connection point between the flywheel 26 and the connecting bolt 3 .

[0059] The head of the connecting bolt 3 is provided with a flange, the upper part of the screw is a connecting thread, and the lower part of the screw is a lead screw thread. The connecting thread realizes the connection function through a mechanism composed of a support ring 10, a cylinder 11, a petal nut 12, and a base 14. The support ring 10 is connected to the inner thread of the cylinder 11 through an external thread. The lead screw transmission mechanism composed of the lead screw thread of the connecting bolt 3 and the bearing mechanism formed by the flywheel 26, the ball 27, and the base 28 realizes the axial movement of the docking bolt 3 to drive the flywheel 26 to rotate, realizes the conversion of the elastic energy released by the preload force during unlocking into the kinetic energy of the rotation of the flywheel 26, and realizes the slow release of the preload force, thereby reducing the impact of unlocking.

[0060] The split nut 12 is a split structure with connecting threads inside and supporting ring ribs outside, which can be divided into three-petal or four-petal structures. The internal threads are connected to the connecting bolts 3, and the outer ring ribs are constrained and supported by the supporting ring 10. The lower end surface is a sliding surface and guide that cooperates with the base 14. The sliding inclined plane can be 10° to 40°, and can be mutually embedded with the base 14 for guidance and positioning to prevent the split nut 12 and the base 14 from rotating freely.

[0061] The positioning cone angle of the piston 13 and the split nut 12 can be 10° to 40°, which plays a role in installation and positioning during assembly.

[0062] The base 14 is the axial installation and positioning surface of the split nut 12, the sliding surface and the guide positioning structure during the expansion process. At the same time, it is connected to the intake pipe seat 15 through the internal thread and connected to the base 28 through the external thread. A limit ring is provided on the connection surface between the base 14 and the base 28 to play the role of installation and positioning, prevent the flywheel 26 from contacting the base 14, and completely seal the inside of the mechanism.

[0063] The air inlet pipe seat 15 is the connection inlet and working channel of the actuating air source 8, and also serves as a guide support and positioning for the movement of the cylinder 11. Fig.10 As shown. The interface of the actuating gas source is perpendicular to the product axis, and the interfaces of the two actuating gas sources are parallel, so as to reduce the axial installation space and the unlocking impact. The "V"-shaped gas channel 38 provided on the inlet pipe seat 15 is connected with the axial gas channel 39, and the angle between the two gas channel axes of the "V"-shaped gas channel 38 can be 52° to 72°.

[0064] The pressure ring 16 is connected to the structure of the separation nut assembly 1 and the upper connecting block 4 by means of the pressure ring screw 18 through the flange of the base 14. A nut buffer pad 17 is provided between the pressure ring 16 and the base 14. A gap is provided between the pressure ring 16 and the upper connecting block 4, and there is no direct contact between the pressure ring 16 and the upper connecting block 4. The pressure ring 16 is a weak constraint on the separation nut. The pressure ring screw 18 is designed as a step screw. The step of the pressure ring screw 18 contacts the upper connecting block 4 to apply torque to fix the separation nut. When unlocking, the separation nut axially moves to compress the nut buffer pad 17, and the separation nut loses contact with the mounting surface of the upper connecting block 4, isolating the impact response transmission path between the separation nut and the mounting surface of the upper connecting block 4, thereby reducing the unlocking impact. A first screw buffer pad 19 and a first washer 20 are provided between the pressure ring screw 18 and the pressure ring 16, which play a role in preventing the separation nut from rigidly colliding with the pressure ring 16 and the pressure ring screw 18 from rigidly colliding with the pressure ring 16 during the unlocking process, thereby reducing the unlocking impact.

[0065] The vibration-damping ring 9 is located between the air intake pipe seat and the support ring 10, and the vibration-damping ring 9 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. When unlocking, the petal nut 12 hits the vibration-damping ring 9 to avoid rigid collision with the air intake pipe seat 15, thereby reducing the impact of unlocking.

[0066] The chiral four-ligament lattice buffer structure 21 and the concave hexagonal lattice buffer structure 22 are 3D printed negative Poisson's ratio buffer structures, which are installed in the groove of the intake pipe seat 15. When subjected to axial compression, the structure undergoes radial contraction deformation rather than expansion, avoiding rigid collision between the cylinder 11 and the intake pipe seat 15 when unlocking. The platform compression stress of the concave hexagonal lattice buffer structure 22 is 3MPa~5MPa, ensuring that the buffer structure is easy to deform within the unlocking stroke, ensuring that the separation nut is unlocked smoothly, and having sufficient unlocking margin. The platform compression stress of the chiral four-ligament lattice buffer structure 21 is 15MPa~17MPa, the energy absorption effect is increased, and it has good impact reduction performance.

[0067] The catcher assembly 2 is connected to the lower connection block 5 via a catcher screw 35 , the catcher tail cover 32 is connected to the catcher housing 29 via an internal thread, and the catcher bushing 31 is fixed between the catcher tail cover 32 and the catcher housing 29 .

[0068] The capture bushing 31 is provided with a plurality of spring claws 41, the number of which is greater than 2, to achieve the capture function of the connecting bolt 3 and prevent the connecting bolt 3 from protruding from the separation surface. Fig.11 shown.

[0069] A second screw buffer pad 36 and a second washer 37 are provided between the capture screw 35 and the capture housing 29 to prevent the capture housing 29 from rigidly colliding with the pressure ring 16 and the pressure ring screw 18 from rigidly colliding with the pressure ring 16 during the unlocking process, thereby reducing the unlocking impact.

[0070] A catcher spring 33 is provided between the bolt sleeve 30 and the catcher housing 29. When the separation device is in the connected state, the catcher spring 33 is in a compressed state, and the catcher spring 33 provides power for the axial movement of the connecting bolt 3 when unlocking.

[0071] The support ring 10, the cylinder 11, the split nut 12, and the base 14 form a connecting mechanism. Figure 6 As shown. The connecting bolts 3, support ring 10, split nut 12 and base 14 as the main load-bearing structures of the separation device are all made of high-strength, high-toughness and corrosion-resistant materials. The materials of the support ring 10, split nut 12 and base 14 are 0Cr13Ni8Mo2Al, and the connecting bolts 3 are made of GH4169. The cylinder 11 is a non-main load-bearing structure. In order to reduce the weight of the separation device, the cylinder 11 is made of 2A14.

[0072] The buffer pad 7, the vibration reduction ring 9, the nut buffer pad 17, the first screw buffer pad 19, the catcher buffer pad 34, and the second screw buffer pad 36 are made of high damping rubber material, and the material power loss factor is 0.35-1.0. Compared with ordinary rubber pads, they have a higher damping ratio and can achieve excellent impact reduction effect. The catcher buffer pad 34 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the catcher tail cover 32.

[0073] The first sealing ring 23, the second sealing ring 24 and the third sealing ring 25 are sealing elements for the actuating air source 8 and the air inlet pipe seat 15, the cylinder 11 and the air inlet pipe seat 15, and the piston 13 and the cylinder 11, respectively. The first sealing ring 23 is a static seal, and the second sealing ring 24 and the third sealing ring 25 are dynamic seals.

[0074] The actuating gas source 8 is a component or device for generating high-pressure gas, usually an igniter of an explosive device, or a gas source pipeline of a high-pressure gas cylinder. The actuating gas source is sealed by a first sealing ring 23 .

[0075] The connection working principle is that the connection bolt 3 passes through the bolt sleeve 30, the lower connection block 5, and the upper connection block 4, and the threaded connection capability is realized through the mechanism composed of the support ring 10, the cylinder 11, the split nut 12, and the base 14. The connection bolt 3 applies the installation torque through the external hexagon to connect the upper and lower parts of the structure. Figure 2 shown.

[0076] The unlocking working principle is that the working high-pressure fuel gas of the actuating gas source 8 acts on the cylinder 11 and the piston 13 through the gas channel of the intake pipe seat 15. The cylinder 11 and the support ring 10 compress the concave hexagonal lattice buffer structure 22 and the chiral four-ligament lattice buffer structure 21 under the action of the high-pressure fuel gas. When the radial constraint of the split nut 12 by the support ring 10 is released, the split nut 12 opens radially along the sliding surface of the base 14 under the action of the piston 13, thereby releasing the axial constraint on the connecting bolt 3. The connecting bolt 3 passes through the capture bushing 31 under the action of the capture spring 33 to capture the connecting bolt 3. After working, the very low impact separation device is separated into two parts, the separation nut assembly 1 is separated from the upper connecting block 4 as a whole, and the capture assembly 2 is separated from the lower connecting block 5 as a whole. The unlocking state of the separation device is as follows: Figure 3 shown.
