Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, the main methods of conventional rocket propellant filling are: pump pressure method, extrusion method and gravity method.

[0003] When the filling volume of the launch vehicle is large, closed filling by pump pressure method is usually adopted. When the pump pressure method is adopted, the storage tank needs to be pressurized to prevent cavitation of the pump and obtain a larger filling flow rate.

[0004] The extrusion method can only use an open filling method, and a large amount of propellant vapor needs to be discharged during filling, so it is usually only suitable for occasions with a small filling amount.

The gravity method has a slow filling speed and still needs to use a pump when the propellant is drained back.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-2As shown, the present application provides a liquid rocket propellant filling system, including: a mobile filling device 1, a tank truck / standard container 2 for providing propellant, and a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system.

[0029] The mobile filling equipment 1 is connected to the tank truck / standard container 2 and the liquid oxygen tank or kerosene tank of the liquid rocket 3 .

[0030] The PLC system communicates with the mobile filling device 1, and controls the mobile filling device 1 to perform a filling process using a corresponding filling mode through the PLC system, wherein the filling mode at least includes: a pump filling mode and an extrusion filling mode.

[0031] Specifically, the opening and closing of each valve in the mobile filling equipment 1 is controlled by the PLC system, so as to realize the control of different filling modes of the mobile filling equipment 1, and different filling modes are selected according to different filling requirements of the liquid rocket 3. Among them, each valve includes: pneumatic regulating valve, pneumatic stop valve and solenoid valve. The filling process of the rocket filling system mainly includes: precooling of the pipeline system, small flow filling, large flow filling, supplementary filling, stopping filling and full emptying of the pipeline.

[0032] The liquid rocket propellant filling system of the present application can meet the filling requirements of different media such as cryogenic liquid and normal temperature liquid. For example, for liquid oxygen and kerosene pump filling, it is only necessary to select the pump of the corresponding medium. That is, after selecting the pump of the corresponding medium, the mobile filling device 1 can be used as a liquid oxygen filling device or a kerosene filling device.

[0034] Specifically, the pump filling mode (pump pressure method) ensures the required filling pressure and flow rate by means of a pump. The pump pressure method is easy to control the filling pressure and flow rate, has a fast filling speed, and can be used in the filling of propellants with a large filling volume.

[0035] Furthermore, the filling pump in the pump filling mode is preferably a centrifugal pump, but is not limited to a centrifugal pump, and may also be other pumps such as a shielded pump and a liquid oxygen pump.

[0036] When the lift is less than the preset second height (i.e., the lift is relatively low) or when the flow rate is less than the preset flow rate (i.e., the flow rate is relatively small), the PLC system controls the mobile filling equipment 1 to perform the filling process in the squeeze filling mode. The specific value of the second height is set according to the actual situation. The specific value of the preset flow rate is set according to the actual situation.

[0037] Specifically, the extrusion filling mode (ie, the extrusion method) ensures the required filling pressure and flow rate by the boost pressure of the storage tank. The extrusion method is limited by the pressure bearing capacity of the storage tank, and the filling speed is slow. It is usually used in the filling of propellants with a small filling amount.

[0065] Specifically, pressure sensor YPT601, pressure sensor YPT602, temperature sensor YTT601, temperature sensor YTT602 and flow meter YFT601 are all arranged on the pipeline.
