Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a locking device of a servo mechanism, in particular to a locking device of a servo mechanism that meets the requirements of a double-pendulum engine horizontal test, and belongs to the field of aerospace equipment. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the efficiency of rocket launches and shorten the working time in the field, a production model of horizontal testing, horizontal transportation and vertical launch of rockets is proposed, that is, all products are assembled in the final assembly plant, and the factory test is completed in a horizontal position, and then transported horizontally to the launch plant, which is different from the current model of installing some engines and servo mechanisms after the rocket is erected. In this mode, the servo mechanism and the engine are installed with the rocket body, and the functional test of the servo mechanism is completed in the horizontal state of the rocket body, and the servo mechanism needs to have the ability to support the engine and be transported horizontally with the rocket body to the launch site without launching the arrow after the test is completed. Generally, the structural space of the rocket engine and servo mechanism installation section is tight. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the engine, whether in the horizontal test process or the horizontal transportation process, the servo mechanism is required to have a reliable locking position limitation capability. Therefore, it is necessary to design a special device that can meet the functional test of the servo mechanism swinging the engine in the horizontal state, and can also support and limit the engine during the horizontal transportation of the entire rocket.

[0003] At present, the locking of the servo mechanism of hydraulic transmission includes the scheme of using a neutral clamp and a hydraulic lock. The scheme of the hydraulic lock is to set a hydraulic lock in the hydraulic circuit, which can realize the cutoff of the oil circuit while unloading the high-pressure oil in the hydraulic circuit, and then realize the position locking of the actuator. However, this locking scheme has the risk of slow oil leakage in the hydraulic oil circuit. When the actuator is subjected to long-term alternating loads, the hydraulic lock has a high risk of oil leakage. Therefore, it is impossible to ensure the reliability of the servo mechanism to support the engine position for a long time when the rocket body is transported horizontally. Therefore, designing a mechanical locking device is the preferred solution to ensure the reliable position locking of the servo mechanism.

[0004] Chinese patent CN201410602156.7 discloses a quick-disassembly and adjustable zero-position locking mechanism, which adopts a solution of connecting a fixed clamp and an adjusting clamp in series to achieve the zero-position locking of the servo mechanism. It can meet the zero-position locking of servo mechanisms with different zero positions and has a certain degree of versatility. However, the locking clamp is mainly designed for the zero-position locking of the servo mechanism and does not have the ability to release the freedom of the piston rod's telescopic movement during the servo mechanism test. Summary of the invention

[0006] The solution to the technical problem of the present invention is: a servo mechanism locking device that meets the double-pendulum engine horizontal test, the locking device includes an upper sleeve, a lower sleeve, and a support ear back nut;

[0007] The upper sleeve and the lower sleeve are used in pairs and can be assembled by clamping up and down to form two cylindrical sleeves connected in series. The large-end cylindrical sleeve is used to hold the outer wall of the actuator cylinder of the hydraulic actuator of the servo mechanism, and the small-end cylindrical sleeve is used to hold the back nut of the ear.

[0008] One end of the front support ear is connected to the piston rod of the servo mechanism hydraulic actuator by threaded connection, and the other end passes through the support ear back nut and extends out from the small end cylindrical sleeve and then connects to the engine through the spherical bearing to achieve motion output and transmission;

[0009] There is relative movement between the piston rod and the actuator cylinder of the hydraulic actuator of the servo mechanism. When the piston rod performs telescopic movement in the installation direction, the small ends of the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve and the back nut of the support ear are fixedly connected without relative movement, and there is relative movement between the large ends of the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve and the actuator cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the servo mechanism locking device that meets the double-pendulum engine horizontal test further includes a support ring; an arc groove is provided on the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve, and after the two are spliced, an annular groove is formed on the inner wall;

[0011] The support ring is installed in the ring groove formed by the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve, located on the large end side of the locking device, and tightly holds the outer wall of the actuator cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the actuating cylinder is provided with a limiting step structure for limiting the displacement of the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, the support ring is made of non-metallic material.

[0014] Preferably, there are two support rings arranged at intervals.

[0015] Preferably, the ear support nut is installed in a slot formed by the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are:

[0017] (1) The present invention adopts a simple mechanical structure to solve the locking and limiting problems of the servo mechanism of the double-pendulum engine during horizontal testing and horizontal transportation, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the product.

[0018] (2) The locking device of the present invention does not need to be disassembled during the entire process of horizontal testing and horizontal transportation, which solves the problem that traditional fixtures must be disassembled during testing and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0019] (3) The locking device of the present invention can realize universal testing of various products by adjusting the limit displacement, and has high utilization efficiency.

[0020] (4) The locking device of the present invention is provided with a non-metallic structure of the support ring, which avoids mutual friction and wear between metals, increases the service life, and protects the appearance of the product.

[0021] (5) The locking device solves the problem of lateral force on the piston rod during horizontal transportation and horizontal testing, and improves the sealing reliability of the actuator. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The support ring 3 is installed in the ring groove formed by the upper sleeve 1 and the lower sleeve 2, located on the large end side of the locking device, and tightly holds the outer wall of the actuator cylinder 5. The ear nut 4 is installed in the groove formed by the upper sleeve 1 and the lower sleeve 2, and is located on the small end side of the locking device.

[0034] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the large ends of the upper sleeve 1 and the lower sleeve 2 hold the outer wall of the actuator 5, the support ring 3 is between the upper sleeve 1, the lower sleeve 2 and the actuator 5, the small ends of the upper sleeve 1 and the lower sleeve 2 hold the ear nut 4, the ear nut 4 is connected to the front ear 7 by threaded connection, the piston rod 6 and the actuator 5 have relative movement, the piston rod 6 can telescopic movement in the installation direction, one end of the front ear 7 is connected to the piston rod 6 by threaded connection, and the other end of the front ear 7 is connected to the engine 9 by the joint pin 8 to realize the output and transmission of movement.
