DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1, reference Figure 1 A specific embodiment of the present invention provides a solid rocket engine combustion chamber casing, comprising:

[0036] Injection molding barrel 1;

[0037] A metal front connector 2, the metal front connector 2 is limited in the first port of the injection molding barrel 1;

[0038] The metal rear joint 3 is sleeved on the second end of the injection molding barrel 1 and is limited at the second end of the injection molding barrel 1 .

[0039] The metal engine is heavy, which affects the overall performance of the missile, and the material utilization rate is low during the processing, the production cost is high, and it is not conducive to large-scale production; the winding fiber in the composite material shell is expensive, and the cost is mainly generated in the mold part, and the larger the aspect ratio, the greater the difficulty of making the product mold, and the interface is often ensured by bonding during the molding process of each step, and the bonding detection is difficult and the repair difficulty is high. In the present application, the injection molding barrel 1 is made by plastic injection molding technology, which is light in weight, is conducive to the overall performance of the missile and large-scale production, wherein the injection molding barrel 1 is integrally injection molded with the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3, and the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3 are respectively limited on the injection molding barrel 1, which improves the overall structural strength and connection stability. On the whole, the present application has low cost, low difficulty in making, high connection strength, and is easy to mass produce.

[0040] The metal rear connector 3 may be located outside the second port of the injection molding barrel 1 or inside the second port of the injection molding barrel 1 , depending on actual conditions.

[0041] According to a further optimized solution, the outer peripheral side of the metal front joint 2 is bonded to the inside of the first port of the injection molding barrel 1 ; and the inner side wall of the metal rear joint 3 is bonded to the outside of the second port of the injection molding barrel 1 .

[0042] By bonding, the roughness is increased at the positions where the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3 are in contact with the injection molding barrel 1, which helps to improve the connection strength.

[0043] Further optimization plans also include:

[0044] The front interface 6 , the first port of the injection molding barrel 1 is set as the front interface 6 , and the metal front joint 2 is limited in the front interface 6 .

[0045] Further optimization plans also include:

[0046] A first annular boss 4, which is coaxially arranged on the outer peripheral side of the metal front joint 2; the first annular boss 4 and the metal front joint 2 are an integral structure;

[0047] The first annular groove 5 is provided in the front interface 6 , and the first annular boss 4 is adapted in the first annular groove 5 .

[0048] According to the first annular boss 4, a first annular groove 5 is formed on the injection molding barrel 1 after injection molding is completed. Under the mutual cooperation of the first annular groove 5 and the first annular boss 4, the connection stability and structural strength of the metal front joint 2 and the injection molding barrel 1 are effectively improved.

[0049] Between the metal rear joint 3 and the injection molding barrel 1 are arranged:

[0050] A first limiting ring 8, the first limiting ring 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the metal rear joint 3 close to the metal front joint 2;

[0051] The second annular groove 7 is provided on the outer circumference or the inner circumference of the injection molding barrel 1 , and the first limiting ring 8 is fitted in the second annular groove 7 .

[0052] According to the first limiting ring 8, a second annular groove 7 is formed on the injection molding barrel 1 after the injection molding is completed. Under the mutual cooperation of the second annular groove 7 and the first limiting ring 8, the connection stability and structural strength of the metal rear joint 3 and the injection molding barrel 1 are effectively improved.

[0053] Further optimization plans also include:

[0054] The connecting ring 9 is coaxially fixedly connected between the metal rear joint 3 and the first limiting ring 8. The wall thickness of the connecting ring 9 is smaller than the wall thickness of the first limiting ring 8. The cross-sections of the connecting ring 9 and the first limiting ring 8 are convex.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, such an arrangement helps to enhance the connection strength between the metal rear joint 3 and the injection molding barrel 1 in the radial and axial directions.

[0056] Further optimization plans also include:

[0057] A second annular boss 10, wherein a plurality of second annular bosses 10 are axially arranged on the inner side wall or the outer side wall of the metal rear joint 3; the plurality of second annular bosses 10 and the metal rear joint 3 are an integral structure;

[0058] A third annular groove 11 , a plurality of third annular grooves 11 are axially opened on the outer circumference or inner circumference of the second end of the injection molding barrel 1 , and a plurality of second annular bosses 10 are fitted in the third annular grooves 11 .

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, such an arrangement further enhances the connection strength between the metal rear joint 3 and the injection molding barrel 1 in the radial and axial directions.

[0060] Embodiment 2, as Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the following is arranged between the metal rear connector 3 and the injection molding barrel 1:

[0061] The second limiting ring 12 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the metal rear joint 3 close to the metal front joint 2, and is embedded in the outer wall of the injection molding barrel 1; a through hole 13, a plurality of through holes 13 are circumferentially arranged between the second limiting ring 12 and the metal rear joint 3.

[0062] After the injection molding of the injection molding barrel 1 is completed, the injection liquid wraps the second limiting ring 12 and passes through the through hole 13. After the molding is cooled, the second limiting ring 12 is embedded in the outer wall of the injection molding barrel 1, which helps to improve the axial and circumferential connection stability and strength between the metal rear joint 3 and the injection molding barrel 1.

[0063] Before the injection molding of the injection molding barrel 1 begins, the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3 are first installed in the cavity of the injection mold. After the injection molding process is completed, the injection molding barrel 1, the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3 are integrally formed.

[0064] The material safety factor of the injection molding barrel 1 is 1.5, the material safety factor of the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3 is 1.3, the allowable stress of the injection molding barrel 1 material is 340 / 1.5=226Mpa, and the allowable stress of the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3 material is 460 / 1.3=353Mpa. After stress analysis, the injection molding barrel 1 does not exceed 226MPa at any place, and the maximum stress is about 220MPa, which occurs in the middle section of the barrel; the stress of the metal front joint 2 and the metal rear joint 3 does not exceed the maximum allowable stress of their materials. The local stress concentration position can be optimized in the actual production process, which has little impact on the product.

[0065] After mold flow analysis, the products in the two embodiments have good injection molding processability. The air pocket is located at the edge, which is conducive to exhaust and will not cause air entrapment, so it will not affect the structural strength of the product design. At the same time, the above analysis can be used to guide the actual production process and avoid possible risks in production in advance.

[0066] It should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. used herein to indicate the orientation or position relationship is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
