Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of navigation technology, and in particular relates to a missile warhead tail end auxiliary support device. Background Art

[0002] For the installation and connection of heavy warheads in the cabin, it is necessary to consider the strength and reliability of the connection structure, as well as the deformation matching problem caused by the elongation and deformation of the warhead cabin under the action of thermal load during the flight of the missile. In conventional ballistic design, there will be a special warhead cabin to carry the warhead. The warhead is a mass-concentrated and large component in the missile structure. It needs to be connected to the warhead cabin through specially designed connectors to fix the missile to prevent sliding, shaking, swinging, etc. that affect the missile's flight attitude and shooting angle. There are also many ways to connect the warhead to the cabin, mainly three-point connection method, two-point connection method, and also directly fix the warhead to the instrument cabin of the next level, and only use the warhead cabin as a rectifier. Among them, the three-point connection method requires a large structural weight, and there will also be over-constraint; the method of fixed connection in the instrument compartment requires high structural strength of the instrument compartment, which is not conducive to the use of the warhead compartment; in the two-point connection method, the center of gravity of the warhead is the main load-bearing connection point, but when the missile turns and maneuvers, the weight of the front and rear ends of the warhead will form a large bending moment on the connection point at the center of gravity, which poses a greater risk. Therefore, it is necessary to use the front or rear end as an auxiliary connection point to eliminate the bending moment of the connection point at the center of gravity. In this regard, the auxiliary connection point mainly provides radial constraint stiffness to eliminate the bending moment, and the axial load is still borne by the connection point at the center of gravity. For the front and rear auxiliary connection methods, generally a flange-like structure is used to connect with the warhead tail end by threaded adaptation, threaded holes are drilled for connection, and the warhead tail end is clamped or clamped. These methods can generally achieve the purpose of connection and fixation, but will bring some other problems as follows, and are not the optimal connection methods.

[0003] 1) For many uniform or standard warheads, the tail end is not equipped with threads or threaded holes for connection, making it difficult to use;

[0004] 2) A flange-like structure is used, with one end connected to the warhead thread or with a drilled threaded hole, and the other end connected to the cabin bolt. It has no adjustment capability. When there is a slight deviation in the installation of the warhead, the flange connection structure will be unable to be installed.

[0005] 3) Regardless of the method or connection structure, factors such as light weight and low cost should be considered as much as possible;

[0006] 4) The tail auxiliary support connection should have as large an opening as possible to facilitate observation of the cabin or wiring;

[0007] 5. Conventional tail connection methods are generally strong connection methods such as threads and bolts. For the tail auxiliary connection point, due to its distance from the center of gravity, only a strong radial constraint stiffness needs to be provided, and the axial constraint stiffness is mainly provided by the connection at the center of gravity. The auxiliary connection at the rear end should minimize the axial constraint stiffness to prevent the auxiliary connection structure from being damaged prematurely due to excessive axial load. At the same time, reducing stiffness is conducive to reducing the weight of the structure. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an auxiliary support device for the tail end of a missile warhead, including a cabin, a warhead, a support frame, a support ring, nuts, and bolts; the support ring is a circular ring with an L-shaped cross-section, and the support frame is evenly installed along the annular direction. The support frame is a trapezoidal member with ribs, one end of which is fixedly connected to the support ring, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end face of the cabin. The support ring is inserted into the tail end of the warhead, and the support frame and the support ring form a connection structure similar to a "claw", which has good openness, light weight, and easy installation. The support ring is provided with a plurality of radial threaded holes along the axial side, and bolts and nuts are installed in the radial threaded holes so that the bolts can vertically support the surface of the tail end of the warhead to form a preload, provide radial constraint stiffness, and tighten the nuts to prevent loosening; for the axial constraint stiffness of the warhead, the axial constraint stiffness can be adjusted by adjusting the radial bolt preload. The present invention can be adapted to warheads of various shapes, and radial constraint can be achieved by installing screws in different threaded holes.

[0017] Preferably, each quadrant of the support ring has at least one threaded hole, and the bolts installed in the threaded holes can vertically support the non-recessed surface of the tail end of the warhead to prevent the bolts from tilting.

[0018] Preferably, the number of the supporting frames is 4.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] 1) The present invention can be adapted to warheads of various shapes, whether they have a smooth surface or a regular concave-convex shape, and radial constraints can be achieved by installing screws in different threaded holes;

[0021] 2) A certain gap is left between the inner side of the support ring of the present invention and the surface of the tail end of the warhead, so as to avoid the situation that the installation cannot be caused by the installation deviation of the warhead axis, and the invention has a certain degree of adaptability and adjustable space, and also brings convenience to the installation;

[0022] 3) The support ring and support frame of the present invention have simple structures and are easy to install, further reducing the weight and cost of the structure;

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the auxiliary supporting device of the present invention.

[0026] Figure 2 It is a top view of the auxiliary support device of the present invention.

[0027] Among them, 1-cabin, 2-warhead, 3-support frame, 4-support ring, 5-nut, 6-bolt. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Based on the above application background, the present invention mainly proposes a tail end auxiliary support device for a missile warhead in the tail end auxiliary support connection scheme in the two-point connection mode between the heavy warhead and the cabin, which mainly solves 1) being adaptable to the connection of warheads of various shapes; 2) having a certain structural installation adjustment capability to facilitate the installation of the warhead; 3) further reducing the structural weight and cost; 4) making the rear end of the warhead cabin have a large opening to facilitate observation of the situation inside the cabin and wiring; 5) reducing the axial constraint stiffness while maintaining the radial constraint stiffness.

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention is based on the two-point connection mode of the warhead. The front point is at the center of gravity of the warhead and is the main load-bearing connection point, and the rear point is at the tail end of the warhead and is the auxiliary support point. In order to solve the requirements of large radial connection stiffness, small axial connection stiffness, small structural weight and convenient installation required by the auxiliary support connection structure of the tail end of the heavy warhead, the present invention proposes an auxiliary support device for the tail end of the missile warhead, including a cabin, a warhead, a support frame, a support ring, bolts and other components. The support ring is a circular ring with an L-shaped cross-section, and the support frame is evenly installed along the annular direction. The support frame is a trapezoidal member with ribs, one end is fixedly connected to the support ring, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end face of the cabin, and the number is greater than 3 (4 in the embodiment of the present invention). During installation, the support ring is inserted into the tail end of the warhead. The inner diameter of the support ring is larger than the outer diameter of the warhead to avoid the situation where the warhead cannot be inserted due to the axial installation deviation. The support frame and the support ring form a connection structure similar to a "claw", which has good openness, light weight and convenient installation; at this time, the support ring is not in contact with the tail end of the warhead and cannot play a supporting role. Several threaded holes are arranged radially on the side of the support ring. The radial screws are installed in the threaded holes to tighten the tail end of the warhead through the pre-tightening force to obtain radial support stiffness. Since the axial constraint of the support ring on the tail end of the warhead is achieved through the friction force converted from the pre-tightening force of the radial screws, the axial support stiffness can be adjusted according to the size of the screw pre-tightening force. The threaded holes can be evenly distributed in a certain number to adapt to the shape of the tail end of the warhead or the state after installation, that is, as long as one threaded hole is available in one area, it can be used.

[0037] The axial constraint stiffness of the warhead 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the radial pre-tightening force of the bolt 6 to avoid damage to the auxiliary support device caused by excessive axial constraint stiffness.

[0038] Each quadrant of the support ring 4 has at least one threaded hole, and the bolts 6 installed in the threaded holes can vertically support the non-concave surface of the tail end of the warhead 2 to prevent the bolts from tilting.
