[0002] The free-loading engine is a common solid rocket engine structure, which is characterized by the ignition device installed in the middle section of the engine, and the lead of the ignition device is led out through the tail nozzle. When the lead of the ignition device is led out from the nozzle, a low-pass filter and a matching nut are usually used to fix the low-pass filter on the nozzle plug cover. Due to the difficulty of assembly in the narrow space of the nozzle and the requirement of air tightness of the inner cavity, it is necessary to tighten the low-pass filter and the nut from the outside of the nozzle. However, the current one-sided tightening method of the screw nut is mainly achieved through the limit on the other side.
