[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] An embodiment of the present application provides a solid-propellant carrier rocket transport and erection device, which can solve the problem that the transport and transfer device in the related art has a single structure and cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of horizontal docking transportation and vertical docking transportation.

[0028] Since the transport and transfer device in the relevant technology cannot meet the problems of horizontal docking and vertical docking transportation at the same time, a highly integrated transport and transfer device is set up, in which a bracket capable of fixing the rocket is provided. Further, the bracket is hinged to the transfer device, and a driving device is provided.

Secondly, a trolley capable of transporting thereon is provided, and the trolley is used for vertical or horizontal consignment of the docking body. This can solve the problem that the transport and transfer device in the relevant technology has a single structure and cannot meet the needs of horizontal docking and vertical docking transportation at the same time.

[0030] With this structural design, there are two stages of erection, one end of the first erection oil cylinder 5 is connected to the transfer platform 3, and the other end is driven to connect to the bracket 8, and the second erection oil cylinder 9 is provided on the bracket 8, one end of the second erection oil cylinder 9 is connected to the bracket 8, and the other end is driven to connect to the erection arm 4; when the erection arm 4 is in a horizontal state and needs to be rotated to a vertical state, the first erection oil cylinder 5 drives the bracket 8 to rotate to a first rotation angle, that is, the angle between the bracket 8 and the transfer platform 3, which is generally greater than 45°, and the erection arm 4 is placed on the bracket 8, so at this time the erection arm 4 and the transfer platform are in a horizontal state. The angle of the platform 3 is also the first rotation angle. Further, the first erecting cylinder 5 tops the bracket 8 and does not move. The second erecting cylinder 9 provided on the bracket 8 drives the erecting arm 4 to continue to rotate until the erecting arm 4 is in a vertical state. When the erecting arm 4 flips from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the second erecting cylinder 9 drives the erecting arm 4 to slowly fall down until it is connected to the bracket 8. At this time, the second erecting cylinder 9 finishes working, and the first erecting cylinder 5 drives the bracket 8 to rotate slowly until the first rotation angle reaches the minimum, that is, the bracket 8 is close to the surface of the transfer platform 3. This embodiment introduces the combined design of the first erecting cylinder 5, the second erecting cylinder 9 and the bracket 8, adopts a two-stage erection, and rotates the erecting arm 4 in steps, which reduces the cost, achieves higher economic benefits and practicality, simplifies the equipment requirements of the technical position, reduces the launch cost, and improves the transfer speed. It solves the problem that the transport and transfer device in the related technology has a single structure and cannot meet both horizontal docking transportation and vertical docking transportation.

[0032] Through this structural design, the coordinated use of the first bending frame 81 and the second bending frame 41 is reflected in the telescopic driving coordination of the first erecting cylinder 5 and the second erecting cylinder 9. The second erecting cylinder 9 is hinged to the bracket 8, and its telescopic direction is the same as the length direction of the support rod, and they are in contact and abutment with each other, so as to better cooperate with the secondary erection process, and the second erecting cylinder 9 drives the erecting arm 4 to rotate smoothly.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, a horizontal transport and docking vehicle 6 is also included, which is movably arranged at one end of the transfer platform 3 away from the erection arm 4, and the top surface of the horizontal transport and docking vehicle 6 is a curved surface structure, which is used to horizontally carry the fairing 2 and horizontally dock it with the rocket body 1 to form a complete rocket body.

[0034] Through this structural design, the horizontal transport and docking vehicle 6 is used to carry the fairing 2 in the horizontal direction and dock it horizontally with the rocket body 1. The top surface of the horizontal transport and docking vehicle 6 is a curved structure, which adapts to the cylindrical structure of the fairing 2. This design not only improves the stability of the fairing 2, but also reduces the friction and resistance that may be generated during the docking process, thereby improving the overall operation Fluency. It should be noted that during the horizontal transportation and docking process, it should be ensured that the erection arm 4 has rotated the rocket body 1 to a horizontal state, and the lifting assembly 7 needs to be removed in advance. By introducing the horizontal transportation function, the entire docking system can be operated more flexibly according to mission requirements, enhancing the adaptability of the device.

[0035] In some preferred embodiments, it also includes a vertical transport docking vehicle 10, which is movably arranged at one end of the transfer platform 3 away from the erecting arm 4; the erecting arm 4 is provided with a lifting component 7, which is movably arranged along the length direction of the erecting arm 4; the vertical transport docking vehicle 10 is engaged with or separated from the lifting component 7.

[0036] Through this structural design, the lifting assembly 7 is movably arranged along the length direction of the erecting arm 4, and can be connected with the vertical transport docking vehicle 10. Therefore, during vertical docking, after the lifting assembly 7 is connected with the vertical transport docking vehicle 10, it is lifted to the top of the rocket body 1, thereby docking the fairing 2 carried on the vertical transport docking vehicle 10 with the rocket body 1.

[0037] In some preferred embodiments, the vertical transport and docking vehicle 10 includes a vertical transport vehicle 101 and a vertical docking vehicle 102; the vertical transport vehicle 101 is engaged or separated from the lifting assembly 7, and is used to vertically transport the fairing 2; the vertical docking vehicle 102 is arranged on the vertical transport vehicle 101, and is used to vertically dock the fairing 2 and the rocket body 1 at the top of the rocket body 1.

[0038] Through this structural design, the previous embodiment is optimized and improved, and convenience is provided for the vertical docking of the fairing 2 with the rocket body 1; wherein, the vertical transport and docking vehicle 10 is divided into a vertical transport vehicle 101 and a vertical docking vehicle 102, the vertical transport vehicle 101 is movably arranged along the length direction of the transfer platform 3, and can be engaged with the lifting assembly 7, that is, the vertical transport and docking vehicle 10 is only responsible for vertically transporting the fairing 2 and lifting it to the top of the rocket body 1; the vertical docking vehicle 102 is arranged on the vertical transport vehicle 101, and can move horizontally, and the top of the vertical docking vehicle 102 is used to place the fairing 2, so that after the vertical transport vehicle 101 drives the vertical docking vehicle 102 to the top of the rocket body 1, the vertical transport vehicle 101 is engaged and cannot move horizontally, and at this time the vertical docking vehicle 102 can move horizontally along the top surface of the vertical transport vehicle 101 to the docking area of ​​the rocket body 1, thereby completing the docking of the fairing 2 with the rocket body 1 and obtaining a complete rocket body. The design of the vertical transport and docking vehicle 10 significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the docking operation between the fairing 2 and the rocket body 1. Through the effective combination of the vertical transport vehicle 101 and the vertical docking vehicle 102, the system not only enhances the flexibility of operation, but also provides a high-precision docking solution.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the lifting assembly 7 includes a U-shaped clamping seat 71, a slot 72 and a driving assembly; a slide rail is provided on the erecting arm 4, and the U-shaped clamping seat 71 is slidably connected to the slide rail by symmetrically arranging the slots 72 on both sides; the driving assembly is connected to the U-shaped clamping seat 71 and drives it to slide vertically.

[0040] Through this structural design, the lifting and lowering of the lifting assembly 7 is realized. In this embodiment, the U-shaped card seat 71 is responsible for carrying and connecting the vertical transport docking vehicle 10, and the design of the card slot 72 supports the U-shaped card seat 71 to slide smoothly, so that it can move flexibly in the vertical space. The card slot 72 is symmetrically arranged on both sides to maintain the balance and coordination of the overall equipment. The second drive assembly is used to drive the U-shaped card seat 71 to move up and down. Its driving mode can adopt various forms such as electric, pneumatic or hydraulic to meet the needs of different working environments. The whole control process is: a slide rail is provided on the erecting arm 4, and the slide rail is docked with the card slot 72 of the U-shaped card seat 71 to form a stable guide system. During operation, the second drive assembly will issue instructions through the control system to drive the U-shaped card seat 71 to slide up and down along the slide rail. The lifting assembly 7 provides an effective height adjustment capability for the system through the ingenious combination of the U-shaped card seat 71, the card slot 72 and the second drive assembly, and enhances the overall flexibility and safety.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, grooves are provided on both sides of the slot 72 perpendicular to the sliding direction, and pulleys 73 are provided in the grooves; the second driving component includes a winch and a rope, the winch is arranged at the end of the erecting arm 4 away from the transfer platform 3, and power output parts are provided at both ends of the winch; one end of the rope is connected to one of the power output parts of the winch, and the other end is wound around and connected to the corresponding pulley 73 and then connected back to the corresponding power output part; the other power output part of the winch is connected to the corresponding pulley 73 in the same way through another rope.

[0042] Through this structural design, grooves are set on both sides of the slot 72 to effectively accommodate the pulley 73, reduce friction and wear, and ensure a smoother and safer sliding process. This design avoids the displacement or falling off of the pulley 73 due to impact during use. The setting of the pulley 73 not only improves the smooth sliding in the slot 72, but also evenly distributes the force and reduces the energy consumption during the lifting process. This structure can effectively reduce the burden caused by gravity and improve the durability of the lifting assembly 7. The winch is the core of controlling the entire lifting system and is a power output device. It is designed at the end of the erection arm 4 away from the transfer platform 3 to drive the lifting of the U-shaped card seat 71 by connecting the pulley 73 in the lifting slot 72; the two symmetrically arranged power output parts of the winch allow synchronous and balanced operation, which increases the flexibility of control. By connecting to the corresponding pulleys 73 respectively, more accurate lifting control can be achieved, thereby improving the working efficiency. When the winch starts working, the rope controls the rise and fall of the U-shaped card seat 71 through the rotation of the pulley 73. This arrangement reduces the friction of the direct connection and can also prevent the rope from tangling or tangling. The preferred embodiment improves the durability of the lifting assembly 7 by introducing the design of the groove and the pulley 73 in the slot 72 and optimizing the second drive assembly.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, a plurality of support columns 31 are provided at the bottom of the transfer platform 3 .

[0044] Through this structural design, multiple support columns 31 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the transfer platform 3, providing a more stable support, effectively dispersing the load, and preventing the transfer platform 3 from tilting or deforming too much during use. The number and layout design of the support columns 31 enable the platform to carry a larger load, especially when carrying heavy loads, which enhances safety.

[0045] In some preferred embodiments, lifting grooves are provided at intervals at the bottom of the transfer platform 3, a lifting platform 32 is provided in each lifting groove, and a plurality of universal sliding wheels 33 are provided on a side of each lifting platform 32 close to the ground.

[0046] Through this structural design, the design of the lifting slot enables the transfer platform to utilize the bottom space and be effectively integrated into the interior of the platform, ensuring that the overall height of the platform does not increase, while allowing vertical transportation. The lifting platform 32 can achieve automatic lifting and coordination with the support column 31. When it needs to be fixed, the lifting platform 32 is retracted to allow the support column 31 to play a supporting role. When the transfer platform 3 needs to be moved, the lifting platform 32 is extended and in contact with the ground through the universal sliding wheel 33, so that 360-degree free steering can be achieved, thereby improving the maneuverability of the transfer platform 3. The lifting slot and lifting platform 32 are arranged inside the transfer platform 3, and the design of the universal sliding wheel 33 greatly improves the flexibility of the transfer system.

[0047] The present application proposes a solid carrier rocket launch implementation step, which includes:

[0048] Fixing the rocket body 1 to the erection arm 4 at the technical position;

[0049] During horizontal docking, the horizontal transport docking vehicle 6 carries the fairing 2 to the erection arm 4 in a horizontal state, and docks it horizontally with the rocket body 1; during vertical docking, the vertical transport docking vehicle 10 carries the fairing 2 to the erection arm 4 in a vertical state, and after being engaged with the lifting assembly 7, it rises to the top of the rocket body 1, and docks the fairing 2 vertically with the rocket body 1;

[0050] The transfer vehicle transports the transfer platform 3 to the launch base, transfers the complete rocket body after horizontal or vertical docking to the launch pad, removes the transfer platform 3, and completes the test.

[0051] Through this design method, at the technical position, the rocket body 1 is fixed on the erection arm 4 to prepare for subsequent docking and launch. When docking horizontally, the horizontal transport docking vehicle 6 is responsible for carrying the fairing 2 to the erection arm 4 that is already in a horizontal state. With the help of the carrier, the fairing 2 is horizontally docked with the rocket body 1 to ensure a stable connection between the two. The vertical transport docking vehicle 10 carries the fairing 2 to the erection arm 4 in a vertical state. After the fairing 2 is engaged with the lifting assembly 7, it is lifted to the top of the rocket body 1 through the lifting mechanism to achieve vertical docking of the fairing 2 with the rocket body 1. The transfer vehicle transports the transfer platform 3 to the launch base and transfers the complete rocket body that has completed horizontal or vertical docking to the launch pad. Once the rocket body is successfully transferred to the launch pad, the transfer platform 3 will be removed, followed by subsequent launch preparations and tests. This implementation step systematically carries out the docking of the rocket body 1 and the fairing 2, wherein the horizontal and vertical docking each has its own specific process. By utilizing the cooperation of the transport and docking vehicle and the lifting assembly 7, the rocket is assembled and smoothly transferred to the launch pad, laying the foundation for the success of the launch mission and meeting the needs of vertical or horizontal transport and docking of different rocket bodies.

The bracket 8 is provided with a second erection cylinder 9. One end of the second erection cylinder 9 is connected to the bracket 8, and the other end is driven to connect to the erection arm 4. When the erection arm 4 is in a horizontal state and needs to be rotated to a vertical state, the first erection cylinder 5 drives the bracket 8 to rotate to a first rotation angle, that is, the angle between the bracket 8 and the transfer platform 3 is generally greater than 45°, and the erection arm 4 is placed on the bracket 8. Therefore, at this time, the angle between the erection arm 4 and the transfer platform 3 is It is also the first rotation angle. Further, the first erecting cylinder 5 tops the bracket 8 and does not move. The second erecting cylinder 9 provided on the bracket 8 drives the erecting arm 4 to continue to rotate until the erecting arm 4 is in a vertical state. When the erecting arm 4 flips from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the second erecting cylinder 9 drives the erecting arm 4 to slowly fall down until it is connected to the bracket 8. At this time, the second erecting cylinder 9 finishes working, and the first erecting cylinder 5 drives the bracket 8 to rotate slowly until the first rotation angle reaches the minimum, that is, the bracket 8 is close to the surface of the transfer platform 3. This embodiment introduces the combined design of the first erecting cylinder 5, the second erecting cylinder 9 and the bracket 8, adopts a two-stage erection, and rotates the erecting arm 4 in steps, which reduces the cost, achieves higher economic benefits and practicality, simplifies the equipment requirements of the technical position, reduces the launch cost, and improves the transfer speed. It solves the problem that the transport and transfer device in the related technology has a single structure and cannot meet both horizontal docking transportation and vertical docking transportation.
