Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of separation springs, and in particular to a separation spring device on an arrow. Background Art

[0002] The push rod type separation spring device is used to provide separation force between the star (ship) and the rocket or other sections of the rocket. The traditional separation spring structure consists of an inner sleeve base, a spring, an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve, an outer sleeve base, an inner sleeve locking nut, a locking rod, and a locking pin. The inner sleeve, the inner sleeve locking nut and the inner sleeve base are welded together to form the inner sleeve; the inner hole of the inner sleeve locking nut is processed with an internal thread; the outer sleeve and the outer sleeve base are welded together to form the outer sleeve; the inner and outer sleeve bases are circumferentially processed with teeth, the locking rod is processed with external threads and a locking pin hole, and the outer sleeve base is processed with a locking pin hole; the locking rod is installed into the inner sleeve locking nut, and the locking rod thread is coated with anti-loosening glue to prevent the locking rod from rotating and falling off during transportation and flight. The spring is inserted into the inner sleeve, and the outer sleeve is inserted into the inner sleeve and the spring. The two end faces of the spring are fitted with the sleeve base. At both ends of the spring, special tooling is used to clamp the spring with teeth. The separation spring is compressed by a compressor until the locking rod pin hole coincides with the center of the pin hole of the outer sleeve base, and then the locking pin is inserted. The assembled separation spring can be used for testing or installed on the separation surface of the front and rear cabin sections.

[0003] For the assembled separation spring, during the process of compressing and assembling the locking pin in the compressor, if it is found that the locking rod pin hole and the axis of the outer sleeve pin hole are adjusted parallel and the locking pin cannot be inserted into the locking rod and the outer sleeve pin hole, the separation spring cannot be compressed and used; after the force measurement of the assembled separation spring is completed, the separation spring whose force value exceeds the deviation range can only be discarded and scrapped and cannot be installed.

[0004] The traditional separation spring structure spring cannot be replaced according to the situation after the tooth rolling is completed. When an unsuitable spring is encountered or it is found that the locking rod pin hole and the outer sleeve pin hole axis are adjusted parallel after the tooth rolling is completed, and it is difficult to insert the locking pin, and the locking rod angle cannot be adjusted, the entire spring can only be scrapped, causing waste and increasing launch costs. Before pressing the teeth, the locking rod pin hole and the outer sleeve pin hole axis need to be adjusted to be parallel, which is difficult to operate; the position of the pin hole on the locking rod cannot be adjusted, and the compression force value of the assembled spring cannot be adjusted. There are large differences in the compression force values ​​of springs on the same batch of rockets, which affects the attitude of the rear stage of the cabin when the rocket body separates; it has an impact on the safety of rocket flight. Before flight, batches of springs need to be screened to select springs with similar force values ​​for rockets, and the remaining springs with large force differences can only be scrapped, resulting in waste of resources and increased rocket launch costs; after pressing the teeth, the clamping force of the clamping spring cannot be detected, and it is impossible to determine whether the spring will detach from the inner sleeve clamping teeth and the outer sleeve clamping teeth during the extension and work process, resulting in excess objects colliding with the flying rocket, causing the risk of rocket launch failure.

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem that urgently needs to be solved is: how to provide a separation spring device on the arrow, in which the spring force value is adjustable, the spring is detachable, the spring cannot be separated from the inner sleeve teeth and the outer sleeve teeth, and can be used safely.

When the inner sleeve assembly and the outer sleeve assembly are locked and connected, the locking pin hole is only aligned with one outer sleeve pin hole 17.

[0038] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the locking adjustment mechanism includes: a locking rod 11 and a locking pin 12; the locking rod 11 is connected to the locking sleeve 15, and the locking rod 11 and the inner sleeve assembly move synchronously along the axial direction of the inner sleeve assembly; the locking rod 11 is located inside the outer sleeve assembly, and the locking rod 11 coincides with the center line of the inner sleeve assembly and the outer sleeve assembly; the locking rod 11 has a locking pin hole, and the outer sleeve assembly has a plurality of outer sleeve pin holes 17, and the plurality of outer sleeve pin holes 17 are spaced apart and distributed along the length direction of the outer sleeve assembly; after the locking pin hole is aligned with any one of the outer sleeve pin holes 17, the locking pin 12 is inserted into the aligned locking pin hole and the outer sleeve pin hole 17 to lock the connection between the inner sleeve assembly and the outer sleeve assembly.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking rod 11 is connected to the locking sleeve 15 via a retaining spring 14 . The retaining spring 14 limits the relative movement between the locking rod 11 and the locking sleeve 15 in the axial direction of the locking rod 11 , while allowing the locking rod 11 and the locking sleeve 15 to rotate relative to each other.

[0041] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the first lock hook assembly includes: a first spring lock hook 2, a first stop 3 and a first bolt 4; the first spring lock hook 2 has an inclined hook surface; the first spring lock hook 2 hooks the inner arc surface of the spring 5 through the inclined hook surface; the first stop 3 presses the first spring lock hook 2; the first stop 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the inner sleeve assembly by the first bolt 4.

The top screw 13 is used to adjust the position of the locking pin 12 in the locking pin hole. Since the locking pin 12 is inserted into the outer sleeve pin hole of the outer sleeve assembly, the locking rod 11 and the inner sleeve assembly move synchronously along the axial direction of the inner sleeve assembly. Therefore, the top screw 13 can adjust the relative left and right movement of the outer sleeve assembly and the inner sleeve assembly, and then adjust the telescopic length of the spring 5 mounted on the outer sleeve assembly and the inner sleeve assembly.

The locking rod 11 is connected to the locking sleeve 15 by a retaining spring 14. The locking rod 11 and the cable sleeve 15 cannot move along the axial direction of the locking rod 11, and the locking rod 11 can rotate freely in the locking sleeve 15; the rotation angle of the locking rod 11 can be easily adjusted by inserting a hexagonal wrench into the hexagonal countersunk hole at the top of the locking rod 11.

[0045] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, if the spring 5 needs to be replaced, the first bolt 4 at the left end of the spring 5 needs to be removed, the first stop 3 at the left end needs to be removed, and then the first spring lock hook 2 at the left end needs to be removed, and the inner sleeve 6 can be smoothly pulled out from the left end of the spring 5; similarly, the second bolt 16 at the right end of the spring 5 needs to be removed, the second stop 10 at the right end needs to be removed, and then the second spring lock hook 9 at the right end needs to be removed, and the outer sleeve 7 can be smoothly pulled out from the right end of the spring 5.

[0046] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, when the assembled spring 5 is compressed to a specified length by a spring compressor, the locking rod 11 is rotated with a hexagonal wrench so that the pin hole of the locking rod 11 is aligned with the pin hole 17 of the outer sleeve, and the locking pin 12 is inserted. In this way, the separated spring can be taken out of the compressor for testing or arrowing.

[0047] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, if the elastic force difference measured of the assembled separation spring is large and cannot meet the use requirements, a hexagonal wrench can be used to adjust the top screw 13 installed inside the locking rod 11.
