[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a pipeline design method for a launch vehicle, comprising:

[0039] Step S101, measuring coordinates, measuring the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the tank outlet flange and the engine pump inlet flange, measuring the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the tank side pipeline flange and the engine side pipeline flange, measuring the center point coordinates of the tank side frame mounting hole and the engine side gimbal mounting hole;

[0040] Step S102, calculating the first coordinates, based on the coordinates of the center points of the frame mounting holes and the center points of the gimbal mounting holes, combined with assembly interference and coordinate transformation constraint boundaries, optimizing with the minimum sum of squared residuals of the corresponding coordinates as the optimization goal, to obtain an optimized first conversion matrix; multiplying the first conversion matrix with the coordinates of the center points of the mounting holes of the engine pump inlet flange, to obtain the first coordinates of the assembled engine pump inlet flange;

[0041] Step S103, calculating the second coordinates, based on the coordinates of the center points of the mounting holes of the tank outlet flange and the coordinates of the center points of the mounting holes of the tank side pipeline flange, combined with assembly interference and coordinate transformation constraint boundaries, optimizing with the minimum sum of squared residuals of the corresponding coordinates as the optimization goal, to obtain an optimized second conversion matrix; multiplying the second conversion matrix with the coordinates of the center points of the mounting holes of the tank side pipeline flange to obtain the second coordinates of the assembled tank side pipeline flange;

[0042] Step S104, calculating the third coordinates, based on the first coordinates of the engine pump inlet flange and the center point coordinates of the mounting hole of the engine side pipeline flange, combined with assembly interference and coordinate transformation constraint boundaries, optimizing with the minimum sum of squares of the residuals of the corresponding coordinates as the optimization goal, to obtain an optimized third conversion matrix; multiplying the third conversion matrix with the center point coordinates of the mounting hole of the engine side pipeline flange to obtain the third coordinates of the assembled engine side pipeline flange;

[0043] Step S105, pipeline design, using the second coordinate of the pipeline flange on the tank side and the third coordinate of the pipeline flange on the engine side, to design a pipeline model between the engine pump inlet and the tank outlet.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of measuring coordinates, the mounting holes of the tank outlet flange and the engine pump inlet flange respectively measure no less than 3 center point coordinates, the mounting holes of the tank side pipeline flange and the engine side pipeline flange respectively measure no less than 3 center point coordinates, and the mounting holes of the frame and the mounting holes of the gimbal respectively measure no less than 3 center point coordinates.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of measuring coordinates, a laser tracker target sphere is used to scan the center point coordinates of the corresponding mounting holes of the tank and the engine.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of measuring coordinates, the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the tank side pipeline flange and the engine side pipeline flange can be measured based on a theoretical model or obtained through physical measurement.

[0047] Specifically, the pipeline design method in this embodiment only needs to measure the interface coordinates of the sections that need to be assembled on the launch vehicle on site, collect the center point coordinates of the installation holes of the six components, namely, the tank outlet flange, the engine pump inlet flange, the tank side pipeline flange, the engine side pipeline flange, the frame mounting hole, and the gimbal mounting hole, and then optimize the constraint boundary calculation of the above coordinates through three-dimensional software to obtain the second coordinates of the tank side pipeline flange and the third coordinates of the engine side pipeline flange after assembly, and then design the pipeline model on this basis. In the process of general assembly of the launch vehicle, the tedious operations of repeatedly repairing and carrying the pipeline on site can be omitted, which greatly reduces the safety risks of personnel and products.

[0048] Among them, the pipeline design method performs high-precision measurement on the assembly feature points of the tank, pipeline, engine and other sections, obtains the center point coordinates of the corresponding points, and then uses the Matlab optimization algorithm to perform coordinate conversion and data optimization on the feature points, thereby obtaining assembly data that meets the accuracy requirements. After determining the position of the pipeline assembly interface, the pipeline design method of the present invention can complete the design of the sampling pipeline of the launch vehicle, thereby advancing the production of the sampling pipeline to parallel production with the tank, cabin section and engine and other sections, greatly improving the accuracy of pipeline sampling and shortening the production cycle of pipeline sampling.

[0049] In step S101 of the embodiment, when measuring the center point coordinates of the four sections of the tank outlet flange, the engine pump inlet flange, the tank side pipeline flange, and the engine side pipeline flange, four mounting holes among the multiple mounting holes on the flange can be selected as the center point coordinates. When measuring the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the tank side frame and the mounting holes of the engine side gimbal, four mounting holes or positioning holes in the frame and the gimbal can be selected as the center point coordinates. In one embodiment, the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the tank side pipeline flange and the engine side pipeline flange can be obtained by physical measurement when not assembled, or can be measured in three-dimensional software based on a theoretical model.

[0050] It should be noted that when measuring the center point coordinates of the tank outlet flange and the tank side pipeline flange, select the four mounting hole positions corresponding to the two flanges when assembled, for example, the four mounting holes are selected symmetrically. When measuring the center point coordinates of the engine pump inlet flange and the engine side pipeline flange, select the four mounting hole positions corresponding to the two flanges when assembled, for example, the four mounting holes are selected symmetrically. When measuring the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the tank side frame and the mounting holes of the engine side gimbal, select the four mounting hole positions corresponding to the assembly of the frame and the gimbal, for example, the four mounting holes can be selected symmetrically. The measurement method can be selected to use a laser tracker target ball to scan the reference point coordinates of the engine or tank. If necessary, transfer stations can also be arranged around the engine or tank.

[0051] In step S102, based on the tank side frame, the center point coordinates of the gimbal mounting hole on the engine side are converted to the center point coordinates of the frame mounting hole, and combined with the constraint boundary conditions of assembly interference, the optimization is performed with the minimum sum of squares of the residuals of the corresponding coordinates as the optimization target to obtain the first conversion matrix. The center point coordinates of the mounting hole of the engine pump inlet flange are multiplied by the first conversion matrix, which is equivalent to moving the engine to the assembled position, and obtaining the first coordinates of the assembled engine pump inlet flange.

[0052] It should be noted that step S103 and step S104 can be performed simultaneously. In step S103, when calculating the second coordinate of the tank side pipeline flange, it is equivalent to converting the coordinate of the center point of the mounting hole of the tank side pipeline flange to the coordinate of the center point of the mounting hole of the tank outlet flange, and optimizing the corresponding coordinates with the minimum residual square sum as the optimization target in combination with the constraint boundary conditions of assembly interference, to obtain the second conversion matrix. The coordinate of the center point of the mounting hole of the tank side pipeline flange is multiplied by the second conversion matrix, which is equivalent to moving the tank side pipeline flange to the assembled position, and obtaining the second coordinate of the assembled tank side pipeline flange.

[0053] In step S104, when calculating the third coordinate of the engine side pipeline flange, it is equivalent to converting the coordinate of the center point of the mounting hole of the engine side pipeline flange to the first coordinate of the assembled engine pump inlet flange, and optimizing the corresponding coordinates with the minimum residual square sum as the optimization target in combination with the constraint boundary conditions of assembly interference, and obtaining the third conversion matrix. The coordinate of the center point of the mounting hole of the engine side pipeline flange is multiplied by the third conversion matrix, which is equivalent to moving the engine side pipeline flange to the assembled position, and obtaining the third coordinate of the assembled engine side pipeline flange.

[0054] In step S105, after the precise coordinates of the flanges at both ends of the pipeline are determined, the second and third coordinates are inputted using 3D software to obtain the model design of the pipeline between the engine pump inlet and the tank outlet, and the sampling production of the pipeline is completed. In one embodiment, the fitted pipeline model and size requirements are obtained, and the optimized pipeline can be 3D printed using additive manufacturing technology.

[0055] In this embodiment, this design method can complete data measurement and pipeline design before the tank, engine, cabin and other sections are docked, which greatly improves the accuracy of pipeline sampling, shortens the production cycle of the launch vehicle, and greatly reduces the safety risks to products and personnel.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the coordinate transformation in the constraint boundary of the three-dimensional coordinate transformation matrix includes a rotation angle and a translation distance.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of calculating the first coordinate, it is assumed that the first transformation matrix is ,in Respectively represent the distance of translation along each coordinate axis, They represent the angles of rotation along the coordinate axes.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of calculating the first coordinate, the matrices rotated around the X, Y, and Z axes are respectively:

[0063] The optimization goal is to minimize the residual square sum of the center point coordinates of the rack mounting hole and the center point coordinates of the gimbal mounting hole after coordinate transformation, that is, the following objective function equation:

[0064] .

[0065] By implementing the above code in Matlab with the optimization goal of minimizing the sum of squared residuals, and optimizing the objective function using the "active set" algorithm, we finally obtained the specific values ​​in the first transformation matrix after optimization.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of calculating the first coordinate, the center point coordinates of the mounting hole of the engine pump inlet flange are marked as matrices: , respectively including , multiplied by the first transformation matrix, the first coordinate of the assembled engine pump inlet flange is , .

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of calculating the second coordinate and the third coordinate, the spatial positions of the engine pump inlet and the tank outlet connected at both ends of the pipeline have been determined based on the above steps. is the initial coordinate set (the center coordinates of the flange mounting holes at both ends of the pipeline), The target coordinate set (the center coordinates of the flange mounting holes at the engine pump inlet and the tank outlet) and the minimum residual square sum are used as the optimization goal to obtain the coordinate transformation matrix under the specified constraint boundary. (Second transformation matrix and third transformation matrix), calculated (The second coordinate of the tank side pipe flange after assembly and the third coordinate of the engine side pipe flange), where the formula includes:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] .

[0072] The above formula is used for optimization calculation, and the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the flanges at both ends of the pipeline are used as the initial coordinate set, and the center point coordinates of the mounting holes of the tank outlet flange and the engine pump inlet flange are used as the target coordinate set. The corresponding second conversion matrix and third conversion matrix are obtained respectively, and multiplied with the initial coordinate set to obtain the position coordinates of the assembled pipeline flange in the model, that is, the second coordinates of the assembled tank side pipeline flange and the third coordinates of the engine side pipeline flange. After the above steps, the flange coordinates at both ends of the pipeline are determined, and finally the sampling pipeline model is designed using 3D software, and finally the sampling production of the pipeline is completed.
