In order to miniaturize rockets, missiles, and guided artillery shells, facilitate transportation and storage, and not affect the forwarding and storage devices of the original standard ammunition, guided ammunition widely uses folding rudder wings.
[0003] At present, the folding wing deployment mechanism of domestic guided ammunition mostly adopts four-way independent propulsion of pyrotechnics, that is, the pyrotechnics push four push rods, which push four rudders respectively. This method has complex structural design, poor synchronization of four-way wing deployment, large impact when the rudders are deployed, and there is a risk that the rudders are not securely locked when deployed and the four-way push rods cannot fully function, resulting in failure of rudder deployment or inadequate deployment, thereby causing instability of the missile body's flight attitude.
