Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a completely ablative embedded impact piece firing tube for a solid engine, belonging to the field of solid rocket engines. Background Art

[0002] In the field of solid rocket engines, the in-line ignition device is used to ignite the engine ignition device. It is a new generation of safe ignition device with dual safety mechanisms of electronic safety insurance and pyrotechnic intrinsic safety. For single-chamber dual-thrust or multi-pulse engines, it is usually necessary to carry out central ignition or ignition, so the impact piece ignition tube in the in-line ignition device needs to be buried in the engine combustion chamber. The internal ignition solution requires that the impact piece ignition tube structure has a small size and can be completely ablated in the high temperature environment of the engine combustion chamber (not less than 2500K), ensuring that no solid flying objects will cause blockage or damage to the nozzle, thereby not affecting the internal ballistic performance of the engine.

[0015] Furthermore, the secondary BPN charge, as the output charge, is in the shape of a hollow cylinder, eliminating the influence of the shock pressure caused by the detonation of the primary HNS-IV charge on the structural integrity.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner wall of the shell adopts a taper and stop limit design to prevent the reverse tail of the glass sintering seat from falling off due to impact.

[0031] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0032] The present invention proposes a completely ablative embedded impact piece firing tube for a solid rocket engine, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an outer shell 1, a glass sintering seat 2, an integrated explosive foil chip 3, a primary HNS-IV (IV type hexanitrostilbene) charge 4, a primary charge positioning ring 5, a sealing aluminum foil 6, a secondary BPN (B / KNO3) charge 7, an insulating gasket 8 and a potting glue 9. The raw materials used in the above components can be completely burned under the high-temperature combustion gas inside the engine, without producing flying objects, causing nozzle blockage or damage, and also without affecting the internal ballistic performance of the engine.

[0033] The main body of the glass sintering seat 2 is made of glass material, which can be completely ablated by the high temperature of the combustion chamber. It is prepared by sintering the glass main body and two conductive Kovar alloy pins or copper pins, which can realize the structural installation and electrical connection of the integrated explosive foil chip, that is, the integrated explosive foil chip is installed between the two pins of the sintering seat, and the electrical connection between the pins and the chip is realized by gold wire bonding or welding process. Figure 2 As shown, the diameter of the pin is 1 mm, and in order to reduce the diameter of the product, a semicircular step with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a depth of 1 mm is cut on the pin head, and the integrated exploding foil chip 3 is fixed on the semicircular step.

[0034] The integrated exploding foil chip 3 is mass-produced by micro-electromechanical system technology, for details, see "Research on the Ignition Performance of MEMS Integrated Exploding Foil Chips". The integrated exploding foil chip 3 is placed above the two pin steps, and eight gold wires with a diameter of 25 μm are bonded between the chip pads and the pins on the left and right sides by gold wire bonding or welding technology to achieve internal electrical conduction of the integrated exploding foil chip 3, and finally realize the conversion of pulse capacitor energy storage into flying chip kinetic energy.

[0035] Shell 1 provides component installation, structural support and installation threads. The outer wall of the shell is designed with M10×1-6g threads to provide structural installation for the ignition tube. Shell 1 uses 2A12 grade bars specified in GB / T3191-2019 "Aluminum and aluminum alloy extruded bars". The aluminum alloy material can be completely ablated under the high temperature environment of the engine combustion chamber. The inside of the shell adopts a taper and stop limit design, such as Figure 3 As shown, the taper is 1:5 and the width of the stop step is 0.4mm to prevent the reverse tail of the sintering seat from falling off due to impact.

[0036] The primary HNS-IV charge 4 is a permissible charge for an in-line safety ignition device, which makes full use of the short pulse impact energy of the small-sized thin flying pieces of the exploding foil chip. The secondary BPN charge 7, as an output charge, is a hollow cylindrical shape, which eliminates the influence of the high impact pressure caused by the detonation of the primary HNS-IV charge 4 on the structural integrity, and has sufficient output energy to ensure reliable ignition of the ignition device.

[0037] The secondary BPN charge 7 is used as the output charge, and its formula meets the requirements of GJB6217-2008 "Specifications for Boron / Potassium Nitrate Ignition Powder", and has sufficient output energy to ensure reliable ignition of the ignition device.

[0038] The mature drug pressing process is used to press HNS-IV drug column 4 and BPN drug column 7 of specific mass and density in the drug ring, where the mass of HNS-IV drug column 4 is 10 mg and the density is 1.6 g / cm 3 The mass of BPN column 7 is 370 mg and the density is 1.75 g / cm 3 .

[0039] The primary charge positioning ring 5 provides a detonation attenuation channel and is located directly above the primary HNS-IV charge 4. The height of the attenuation channel is set to 1 mm and the diameter is 1.8 mm, which can reliably realize the impact-to-combustion process of the HNS-IV charge on the BPN charge.

[0040] The sealing aluminum foil sheet 6 is used to seal the product after the impact piece ignition tube is assembled and the end is closed and curled, so as to protect the output end from pollution and moisture.

[0041] The insulating gasket 8 is made of polyimide material and circumferentially wraps the pins to ensure electrical insulation between the pins and between the pins and the housing 1 .

[0042] As the final step of assembly, potting is performed by injecting a potting compound 9 with excellent electrical and structural properties into the tail of the product and curing it at room temperature.

[0043] The working process of the impact piece firing tube is as follows: the pin of the sintering seat 2 receives the pulse high-voltage energy, the integrated exploding foil chip 3 outputs high-speed flying pieces, the HNS-IV charge 4 is impact-detonated, and the BPN charge 7 is impact-ignited after the detonation wave decays, and finally the main charge of the engine is ignited.

[0044] The above-described embodiments are only preferred specific implementations of the present invention. Common changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
