Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid missile launch preparation, in particular to a heating system before a solid missile is launched under low temperature conditions. Background Art

[0002] A solid missile is a missile that uses solid propellant as a power source. Compared with liquid propellant missiles, the propulsion system of solid missiles does not have a complex fuel and oxidizer storage and delivery system, so the structure is simpler, the volume is smaller, and the weight is lighter. Since solid propellant can be ignited in a very short time and generate thrust immediately after ignition, solid missiles are widely used in scenarios that require rapid response, such as air defense missiles, short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles, etc.

[0003] As the international situation becomes increasingly severe, ensuring that solid missiles can operate in all regions and all weather conditions is an important guarantee for modern military forces to maintain combat readiness and flexibly respond to various combat conditions. That is, the combat capability of missiles cannot be limited by weather conditions, so missile systems must be able to operate in a wide range of temperatures from extreme cold to high temperatures. Some missiles need to be deployed in high-latitude or cold areas where the natural environment temperature is low. For example, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) may be deployed in cold underground silos. The low temperature environment will have a huge impact on the solid propellant, electronic equipment, batteries and structural materials of solid missiles. Low temperature will not only cause the solid propellant grain to become embrittled and destroy its structure, but also affect its combustion efficiency and thermal stability. At the same time, the electronic equipment and batteries inside the missile may not work properly at low temperatures, and the structural materials of the missile will become fragile at low temperatures, affecting the overall structural integrity of the missile. However, there is no mention of how to solve this problem in the currently disclosed patents or documents. Summary of the invention

[0020] The warhead 7 is also provided with a warhead insulation layer 6 for heat preservation, a second heating resistor 9 is arranged between the warhead insulation layer 6 and the warhead 7, the second heating resistor 9 is connected to a second power source 11, the heat generated by the second power source 11 itself is used to heat the warhead auxiliary equipment 10, and the warhead 7 is heated by converting the electrical energy of the second power source 11 into thermal energy; a second temperature sensor 8 is arranged on the warhead 7, and the temperature of the warhead 7 is monitored by the second temperature sensor 8; the second temperature sensor 8 transmits the temperature of the warhead 7 to the control terminal 20 through a radio signal; the control terminal 20 controls the output current of the second power source 11 through an electrical signal to achieve the control of the heating temperature;

[0021] Since the solid engine of the solid missile is composed of a combustion chamber cavity 16, a solid propellant grain 17, a third temperature sensor 18 and a nozzle 19; the combustion chamber cavity 16 is divided into an upper wall cavity and a lower wall cavity, and the solid propellant grain 17 adopts a side combustion distribution; therefore, it also includes a first microwave heater 12 arranged at the upper wall cavity of the combustion chamber cavity 16, and a third microwave heater 14 arranged at the lower wall cavity of the combustion chamber cavity 16. The first microwave heater 12 and the third microwave heater 14 feed microwaves to establish a microwave field to heat the solid propellant grain 17. Heating; a second microwave heater 13 is arranged in the middle flow channel of the solid propellant grain 17, the second microwave heater 13 establishes a microwave field in the middle flow channel to heat the solid propellant grain 17, a third temperature sensor 18 is arranged on the surface of the solid propellant grain 17, the third temperature sensor 18 transmits the temperature of the solid propellant grain 17 to the control terminal 20 through a radio signal; the control terminal 20 controls the power of the microwave output by the first microwave heater 12, the second microwave heater 13 and the third microwave heater 14 through an electrical signal to achieve control of the heating temperature.

[0022] The first heating resistor 4, the first power supply 5, the second heating resistor 9, the second power supply 11, the first microwave heater 12, the second microwave heater 13 and the third microwave heater 14 are selected according to the required working conditions.

When the temperatures of the navigation system 1, the warhead 7 and the solid propellant grain 17 reach the set heating temperature, the control terminal 20 issues an instruction to turn off the first power supply 5, the second power supply 11, the first microwave heater 12, the second microwave heater 13 and the third microwave heater 14. The heating is completed and the missile enters a pre-launch state.
