AI Technical Summary
When welding stringers onto thin-walled rocket propellant tanks, the fit between the circumferential seam of the cylinder section and the stringer is not tight, which makes welding difficult. Furthermore, existing methods increase the production process and reduce the production efficiency of rocket propellant tanks.
A combination of a clamping mechanism and a back plate is used. The clamping mechanism clamps the stringers and the circumferential joint of the cylinder section to prevent radial shrinkage. Welding is performed using equipment such as laser welding to reduce the use of spot welding equipment.
Ensuring a tight fit between the stringers and the cylinder section guarantees smooth welding, improves the production efficiency of rocket propellant tanks, and avoids additional production processes.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rocket tank, in particular to a clamping device for welding a rocket tank cylinder segment and a stringer. BACKGROUND
[0002] The rocket tank is an essential core component of the launch vehicle, which is very critical and important to the launch vehicle. During the launch and flight of the launch vehicle, the rocket tank must be able to withstand huge loads and provide sufficient support for the launch vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the overall structural strength of the rocket tank.
[0003] At present, the way to improve the overall structural strength of the rocket tank is to weld stringers on the rocket tank cylinder segment, for example, to weld stringers on the inner wall and outer wall of the rocket tank along the axial direction to improve the overall structural strength of the rocket tank. However, when laser welding is used to weld stringers on the rocket tank with thin wall thickness, the cylinder segment is stacked by several cylinder segments welded by girth seams, so that the girth seam of the cylinder segment will be radially contracted due to the heat effect of laser welding, which will cause the girth seam of the cylinder segment to be not tightly fitted with the stringer, and thus the stringer cannot be welded with the rocket tank.
[0004] The traditional method to solve the problem of not tight fitting between the girth seam of the cylinder segment and the stringer is to place the girth seam of the cylinder segment and the stringer between the two electrodes of the spot welding equipment by means of the spot welding equipment, and to clamp the two electrodes by external clamping force, so as to make the stringer tightly fitted with the girth seam of the cylinder segment. However, since this method uses the spot welding equipment, it increases the flow process of the spot welding equipment in the whole production process of the rocket tank, thereby reducing the overall production efficiency of the rocket tank.
[0005] Therefore, how to make the girth seam of the cylinder segment tightly fitted with the stringer to ensure the smooth welding of the rocket tank and the stringer, and at the same time improve the overall production efficiency of the rocket tank, has become a problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0048] Example 1
[0049] This invention provides a clamping device for welding rocket propellant tank sections to stringers, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a first connecting rod 1, a second connecting rod 2, a third connecting rod 3, and a clamping mechanism, wherein:
[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first connecting rod 1 is located on one side of the second connecting rod 2 and is arranged parallel to the second connecting rod 2.
[0051] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 can preferably be a cuboid structure.
[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The third connecting rod 3 is located below the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 (i.e., in...). Figure 1 The third connecting rod 3 is located below the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2, and both ends of the third connecting rod 3 are respectively connected to the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1 (i.e., at...). Figure 1 The bottom end of the first connecting rod 1) and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 2 (i.e., at the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1) Figure 1 The bottom end of the second connecting rod 2 is detachably connected to connect the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2.
[0053] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The third connecting rod 3 can preferably be a U-shaped structure, and the cross-section of the third connecting rod 3 can preferably be a rectangular structure.
[0054] In the present embodiment, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the two ends of the opening of the third connecting rod 3 are connected with the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1 and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 2 respectively. Preferably, the top ends of the two ends of the opening of the third connecting rod 3 (i.e. the opening of the U-shaped structure) are connected with the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1 and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 2 respectively. More preferably, the area and shape of the top ends of the two ends of the opening of the third connecting rod 3 are exactly the same as the area and shape of the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1 and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 2, so as to better connect with the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1 and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 2.
[0055] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the third connecting rod 3 is provided with a connecting flange 4 between the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2, and the two ends of the opening of the third connecting rod 3 are detachably connected with the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1 and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 2 through the connecting flange 4.
[0056] In the present embodiment, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the connecting flange 4 can be a flat cuboid structure, and the number of connecting flanges 4 can be preferably four. Among them, any two connecting flanges 4 are attached to the two side walls opposite the connecting position of the opening of the third connecting rod 3 and the bottom end of the first connecting rod 1, and the other two connecting flanges 4 are attached to the two side walls opposite the connecting position of the opening of the third connecting rod 3 and the bottom end of the second connecting rod 2. A plurality of bolts (known in the art) are installed on the connecting flange 4, and the connecting flange 4 can be detachably connected with the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 through the plurality of bolts respectively.
[0057] Preferably, in order to improve the connection fastening between the third connecting rod 3 and the first connecting rod 1, and between the third connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 2, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the number of bolts installed on each connecting flange 4 can be preferably eight, and can be evenly arranged at both ends of the connecting flange 4 along the length direction of the connecting flange 4.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the top end of the first connecting rod 1 (i.e. the end of the first connecting rod 1 away from the third connecting rod 3) is provided with a pressing mechanism, and the top end of the second connecting rod 2 (i.e. the end of the second connecting rod 2 away from the third connecting rod 3) is provided with a back plate 13 (with reference to Figure 9 and Figure 10). The pressing mechanism is arranged corresponding to the back plate 13, and the pressing mechanism can be used to press the stringer 15 at the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14, and the back plate 13 can be used to press the end side wall of the cylinder segment 14 away from the stringer 15, so that the back plate 13 and the pressing mechanism can respectively exert pressing force on both ends of the cylinder segment 14 to clamp the stringer 15 and the cylinder segment 14 (for reference Figure 13 and Figure 15 ).
[0059] For reference Figures 13-15 When it is necessary to weld the stringer 15 at the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 of the rocket tank, the pressing mechanism can be pressed on the stringer 15 at the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14, and the back plate 13 can be pressed on the back of the cylinder segment 14 corresponding to the stringer 15 at the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14, so as to clamp the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15, thereby ensuring that the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15 can be tightly fitted. When the stringer 15 is subsequently welded on the cylinder segment 14, the clamping force of the pressing mechanism and the back plate 13 on the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15 can avoid the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 from being radially retracted, so that the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15 can be in a tightly fitted state during welding, and the welding work of the rocket tank and the stringer can be smoothly carried out.
[0060] In the embodiment, any device suitable for welding the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15 without increasing the flow process of the entire rocket tank production process can be used in addition to the spot welding device, for example, a laser welding device known in the art can be used, which is not particularly limited here.
[0061] Since the pressing mechanism and the back plate 13 can clamp the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15, the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15 can be in a tightly fitted state during welding, thereby avoiding the use of the spot welding device, and further avoiding increasing the flow process of the spot welding device in the entire rocket tank production process, and improving the overall production efficiency of the rocket tank.
[0062] According to an embodiment of the present application, for reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the pressing mechanism comprises a pressing rod 9 slidingly installed at the top end of the first connecting rod 1. For reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the pressing rod 9 is installed with a pressing block 10 at the end close to the back plate 13, and the pressing block 10 is arranged corresponding to the back plate 13, and the pressing block 10 is used to press the web plate of the stringer 15 at the girth joint of the cylinder segment 14.
[0063] In the embodiment, for reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 and Figure 6All are schematic diagrams of the overall structure of the pressing mechanism in the present application. Among them, the pressing rod 9 can be preferably cylindrical structure, the pressing block 10 far away from the end of the pressing rod 9 (i.e. Figure 5 The left side of the middle pressing block 10) can be provided with a clamping groove along the length direction of the stringer 15, and the clamping groove is matched with the web shape of the stringer 15.
[0064] When the pressing block 10 is pressed on the web of the stringer 15, the clamping groove can limit the connection between the pressing block 10 and the stringer 15, and make the connection more firm, thereby avoiding the relative sliding between the pressing block 10 and the stringer 15, and further ensuring the stability when the pressing block 10 presses the stringer 15.
[0065] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the pressing rod 9 can be connected to the top end of the first connecting rod 1 in a sliding manner.
[0066] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the pressing rod 9 is installed at the center position of the pressing block 10, and the two can be detachably connected by bolts.
[0067] Through the setting of the bolt, when the stringer 15 with different widths (i.e. different web heights) needs to be pressed, the bolt connecting the pressing rod 9 and the pressing block 10 can be disassembled, and the matched pressing block 10 can be installed on the pressing rod 9 through the bolt, so as to realize the quick disassembly and replacement of the pressing block 10.
[0068] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the top end of the first connecting rod 1 is also threadedly connected with a lead screw 7, and the lead screw 7 is located on one side of the pressing rod 9 and is arranged in parallel with the pressing rod 9.
[0069] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the lead screw 7 can be located directly below the pressing rod 9.
[0070] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the end of the lead screw 7 away from the first connecting rod 1 is provided with a rotating block 16, and the end of the rotating block 16 close to the first connecting rod 1 is in contact with the end of the pressing rod 9 away from the first connecting rod 1.
[0071] In the embodiment, referring toFigure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rotating block 16 can preferably be a cylindrical structure, and it can be coaxially arranged with the lead screw 7 (i.e., the central axis of the cylindrical rotating block 16 is arranged in line with the central axis of the lead screw 7).
[0072] Since the rotating block 16 is in contact with the end of the pressing rod 9 away from the first connecting rod 1, when the rotating block 16 is rotated to drive the lead screw 7 to rotate, the lead screw 7 will gradually screw into the first connecting rod 1, at which time the rotating block 16 will press against the pressing rod 9 and move the pressing rod 9 toward the direction close to the stringer 15, thereby pressing the pressing block 10 against the web of the stringer 15 to achieve clamping of the stringer 15 by the back plate 13 and the pressing block 10.
[0073] According to one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The end of the pressing rod 9 away from the first connecting rod 1 is fixedly mounted with a connecting block 8 (referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The end of the rotating block 16 close to the first connecting rod 1 is in contact with the end of the connecting block 8 away from the first connecting rod 1.
[0074] In this embodiment, the connection between the pressing rod 9 and the connecting block 8 is not particularly limited, and can be connected by welding known in the art to fixedly connect the pressing rod 9 and the connecting block 8. At this time, the rotating block 16 is no longer in contact with the end of the pressing rod 9 away from the first connecting rod 1, but is in contact with the end of the connecting block 8 away from the first connecting rod 1. When the lead screw 7 gradually screws into the first connecting rod 1, the rotating block 16 will press against the connecting block 8 and drive the connecting block 8 to move, and because the connecting block 8 is fixedly connected with the pressing rod 9, the movement of the connecting block 8 will drive the pressing rod 9 to move toward the direction close to the stringer 15, thereby pressing the pressing block 10 against the web of the stringer 15 to achieve clamping of the stringer 15 by the back plate 13 and the pressing block 10.
[0075] According to one embodiment of the present application, the lead screw 7 penetrates through the connecting block 8 and is in sliding contact with the connecting block 8.
[0076] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12 Two through holes are formed in the connecting block 8 in the vertical direction, the upper through hole is used for fixedly connecting with the pressing rod 9, and the lower through hole is used for slidingly connecting with the lead screw 7.
[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, the further limiting effect on the lead screw 7 can be achieved by penetrating the lead screw 7 through the connecting block 8 and slidingly fitting the lead screw 7 with the connecting block 8, so that the lead screw 7 can be more stable during rotation. At the same time, since the lead screw 7 and the pressing rod 9 are both penetrated through the connecting block 8 at this time, the above-mentioned arrangement can also avoid the rotation of the connecting block 8, thereby avoiding the rotation of the pressing rod 9 during the movement of the pressing rod 9 close to the stringer 15, and ensuring the smooth progress of the pressing work.
[0078] According to one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the pressing block 10 is provided with two groups of auxiliary pressing members, which are arranged at both ends of the pressing block 10 and along the length direction of the stringer 15, and the auxiliary pressing members are used to press the flange plates of the stringer 15 at the girth seam of the cylinder segment 14. Preferably, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , each group of auxiliary pressing members includes a plurality of pressing bolts 11 arranged along the length direction of the stringer 15, and the pressing bolts 11 are threadedly connected with the pressing block 10, and the pressing bolts 11 are used to press the flange plates of the stringer 15 at the girth seam of the cylinder segment 14.
[0079] In the present embodiment, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the number of each group of pressing bolts 11 can be four, i.e. the number of the pressing bolts 11 mounted on the pressing block 10 can be eight, and the four pressing bolts 11 of each group are arranged along the length direction of the stringer 15 in sequence and uniformly.
[0080] Since the stringer 15 has a web plate and flange plates on both sides (known in the art), the pressing block 10 is pressed on the web plate of the stringer 15, rather than the flange plates of the stringer 15. The end of the pressing bolt 11 close to the cylinder segment 14 can be pressed on the flange plate of the stringer 15, so that the pressing effect of the stringer 15 and the cylinder segment 14 is better.
[0081] In addition, since the pressing bolt 11 is threadedly fitted with the pressing block 10, when pressing the stringer 15 with different widths (i.e. different web plate heights), the pressing bolt 11 can be rotated in the pressing block 10, so that the height of the threaded part of the pressing bolt 11 protruding from the pressing block 10 can be adjusted, thereby adapting to stringers 15 with different thicknesses, improving the adaptability and the pressing efficiency.
[0082] According to one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6The limiting nut 12 is threadedly mounted on the screw rod 7 and is located between the first connecting rod 1 and the connecting block 8. During the process of pressing the stringer 15 at the ring joint of the cylinder segment 14, the limiting nut 12 does not contact the first connecting rod 1, that is, when the rotating block 16 moves while pressing the connecting block 8, the limiting nut 12 does not contact the sidewall of the first connecting rod 1, thereby not blocking the process of screwing the screw rod 7 into the first connecting rod 1, and ensuring the smooth progress of the pressing work.
[0083] When the screw rod 7 has not been screwed into the first connecting rod 1, the limiting nut 12 can prevent the screw rod 7 from falling off the connecting block 8, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the pressing work.
[0084] When the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15 are welded, the pressing block 10 and the pressing bolt 11 need to be removed from the stringer 15, the rotating block 16 is pulled outward (i.e., to the right in Figure 5 ), at this time, the limiting nut 12 abuts against the connecting block 8, and the connecting block 8 and the pressing rod 9 can be moved outward simultaneously under the abutment of the limiting nut 12, so that the pressing block 10 and the pressing bolt 11 can be conveniently removed from the stringer 15, without the need to hold the connecting block 8 again to remove the pressing block 10 and the pressing bolt 11 from the stringer 15, thereby improving the work efficiency.
[0085] According to one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the rotating block 16 is provided with a rotating handle 6.
[0086] In the present embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the rotating handle 6 can be penetrated through the rotating block 16, and the rotating handle 6 can be detachably connected with the rotating block 16 through a bolt. Preferably, the rotating handle 6 is arranged in a perpendicular direction with the rotating block 16.
[0087] The rotating handle 6 can increase the torque of the rotating block 16 by using the wheel shaft (lever) principle, thereby improving the pressing force of the pressing block 10 on the stringer 15, and further ensuring the close fit of the cylinder segment 14 and the stringer 15 at the ring joint.
[0088] According to one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first connecting rod 1 is detachably provided with a handle 5 through a bolt.
[0089] In the present embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the handle 5 can be preferably C-shaped. Through the arrangement of the handle 5, the clamping device of the present application can be more conveniently held.
