Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid rocket engine manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a solid rocket engine insulation layer structure. Background Art
[0002] When a rocket engine is working, the combustion chamber needs to withstand the scouring of high-temperature and high-pressure airflow above 3000℃, so it is necessary to set an insulation layer on the inner wall of the combustion chamber to protect the combustion chamber shell. At present, in order to further improve the anti-scouring performance of the insulation layer, an anti-ablation layer is set near the connection position of the insulation layer with the nozzle.
[0003] The forming methods of the thermal insulation layer of a solid rocket engine mainly include compression molding and manual patch molding. Chinese patent CN112223781A discloses a molding process for a thermal insulation bottom layer formed by manual patch molding. The surface quality of the manual patch molding product is poor, and defects such as pits, bulges, and air inclusions are prone to occur. It is easy to be eroded by hot air flow, thereby affecting the thermal protection performance.
[0004] The compression molding process has been widely used in the field of thermal insulation layer preparation. At present, due to strategic needs, the performance of different weapons and equipment is getting higher and higher, and higher and higher requirements are put forward for the engine. The engine structure is becoming more and more complex. The compression molding process is limited by the size and complexity of the thermal insulation layer. The traditional compression molding process can no longer meet the current thermal insulation layer molding needs. In order to prevent the anti-ablation layer from burning through when the engine is ignited, the anti-ablation layer needs to be wrapped in the thermal insulation layer, and the thickness and position of the ablation layer in the thermal insulation layer also need to be precisely controlled, because if the ablation layer is close to the inside or outside of the engine, it may burn to the anti-ablation layer in advance during ignition, causing the thermal insulation layer structure to be burned through. The current thermal insulation layer preparation method cannot guarantee the accuracy of the depth of the anti-ablation layer in the thermal insulation layer after molding, and the reliability of bonding. Secondly, the compression molding process is limited by the matching degree between the size of the thermal insulation layer and the size of the mold cavity. If the overflow channel is set unreasonably, the quality of the opening of the molded part cannot be guaranteed.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for preparing a solid rocket engine insulation layer structure with excellent thermal protection performance. Summary of the invention

[0030] The method for preparing the thermal insulation layer structure of a solid rocket engine of this embodiment comprises the following steps: 1. According to the thickness requirements of each part of the insulation layer, use an open mill to grind the incoming materials into sheets of different thicknesses. During the grinding process, the raw materials need to be thinned and triangularly packaged to improve the uniformity and density of the incoming materials. The calendering effect of EPDM rubber is reduced by the triangular package operation; 2. Design the cutting template according to the thickness and size requirements of different parts of the insulation layer, and cut raw sheets of different specifications according to the cutting template; 3. Use the insulating raw rubber sheet to preform the joint protection layer preform by molding. The vulcanization temperature of the preformed joint protection layer is 95°C, and the temperature is kept for 130 minutes, which is controlled within the vulcanization induction period. In order to enhance the bonding performance between the metal and the thermal insulation material, the bonding surface of the metal joint is sandblasted, and after the joint protection layer preform is polished, the bonding surface of the metal joint 7 and the bonding surface of the joint protection layer preform are coated with adhesive, the metal joint 7 is bonded to the joint protection layer preform, and the metal joint protection layer preform is fixed to the metal joint by a ring and a clamp to form a metal joint assembly; 4. On the metal joint, lay different specifications of insulation raw rubber sheets according to the material laying design until the required thickness and weight are reached; 5. According to the selected thickness of the first insulation layer bottom layer 1, the first insulation layer bottom layer 1 is preformed by molding using raw rubber sheets, the vulcanization temperature is 95°C, and the temperature is kept for 130 minutes to obtain a first insulation layer bottom layer preform; the outer side of the first insulation layer bottom layer preform is connected to the metal joint 7; 6. According to the selected thickness of the second heat insulation layer bottom layer 2, the second heat insulation layer bottom layer 2 is preformed by using raw rubber sheets and a molding method, with a vulcanization temperature of 95° C. and heat preservation for 130 minutes to obtain a second heat insulation layer bottom layer preform; 7.

[0031] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 2 is that, instead of pasting polytetrafluoroethylene tape at the connection metal piece at the bottom layer of the second thermal insulation layer to the bonding edge of the artificial debonding layer, a high-temperature tape is provided as the artificial debonding layer.
[0032] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 2 is that the preparation of the bottom layer of the heat insulation layer is different. The bottom layer of the heat insulation layer is not prefabricated separately in the upper and lower layers, but is directly laid and formed in one step, that is, the bottom layer of the heat insulation layer is prepared by directly laying a raw rubber sheet in the mold to a set thickness, placing an anti-ablation layer, and then laying a raw rubber sheet on the anti-ablation layer to a selected thickness of the heat insulation layer, and preparing the bottom layer of the heat insulation layer through an autoclave vulcanization process. The remaining steps are the same as those in Example 2.
[0033] The ablation performance and strength performance of the thermal insulation layer structures obtained in Examples 2, 3, 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were measured, and the position of the ablation layer in the thermal insulation layer was measured to calculate the deviation between its position and the predetermined position. The test results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0034] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 below that, compared with Comparative Example 2, the thermal insulation layer prepared by each embodiment of the present invention has significantly better ablation performance and strength performance. More importantly, the position of the anti-ablation layer in the thermal insulation layer after molding is more accurate and the position deviation is smaller. Compared with Comparative Example 1 which uses high-temperature tape as an artificial debonding layer, the present invention uses polytetrafluoroethylene tape, and it is found that the strip polytetrafluoroethylene tape (film) has good ductility and good adhesion, and is easy to operate during the pasting process. There will be no imbalance phenomena such as wrinkles and air inclusions, which can prevent the cover layer from being pressed and wrinkled and damaging the surface during the overall molding process; Table 1

For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
