[0005] (2) The cabin body skin is relatively thick, the wallboard reinforcing rib is relatively high and thick, the reinforcing rib parameters are consistent in the whole cabin, all the reinforcing ribs are high and wide, and the parameters are the same, so the reinforcing rib parameters cannot be adjusted according to the bearing and layout, and the lightweight degree is relatively low.

[0006] (3) The wallboard parameters cannot be further thinned and optimized due to the process limitation, so the demand for further optimization of the weight of the manned moon landing sealed cabin is limited.

[0007] (4) The reinforcing rib is right-angled and orthogonal, and the rib strip direction and layout cannot be changed due to the large opening of the side wall or the installation of a large load, so the load transmission efficiency is not high, and the lightweight requirement of the moon landing vehicle cannot be met.

The square out-of-cabin opening needs to be arranged on the side wall of the cabin body, the opening of the side wall of the cabin body greatly weakens the overall stiffness of the sealed cabin, and the structure around the door frame needs to be designed in an integrated manner with the cabin door, so that the overall stiffness of the cabin body is ensured, the stiffness of the cabin body and the door body is matched, and the sealing performance is ensured.

[0010] (2) The sealing cabin and the propulsion cabin are connected through a pyrotechnic lock, the single-point local load of the pyrotechnic lock connection is large, reaches more than 10t, and currently there is no efficient connection method for the sealing cabin.

[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0061] A large-span continuous reinforced integral wall panel type capsule shell structure, in the direction from top to bottom, and in the structural shape, includes a front cone section 2, a first column section 4, a second column section 6, and a rear cone section 8, and a connecting frame is arranged between the front cone section 2 and the first column section 4, between the first column section 4 and the second column section 6, and between the second column section 6 and the rear cone section 8, and all components are integrally welded into the capsule shell structure.

[0062] A large-span continuous reinforced integral wallboard type sealed cabin shell structure can also be divided into frames and wallboards in the form of constituent parts, and the main materials of the frames and wallboards are 5B70 aluminum alloy. In order to meet the lightweight requirement, the wallboard includes a rib and an extremely thin skin, the thickness of the extremely thin skin is only 1.2 mm, and the total height of the sealed cabin shell wallboard rib is only 15 mm.

[0063] The rib of the wallboard of the sealed cabin shell structure is a continuous structure, and the rib is not disconnected in the girth weld and longitudinal weld area, the force is directly and continuously transmitted, and the load transmission efficiency is high.

[0064] In order to improve the load transmission efficiency, the rib of the wallboard is in a multi-stage form (divided into two stages), including a main rib and an auxiliary rib, the main rib includes a longitudinal main rib, a girth main rib and an inclined main rib, the longitudinal main rib and the girth main rib are continuous in the whole cabin, are distributed according to the load distribution condition, and the inclined main rib is arranged in the first column segment 4 and the second column segment 6, and the auxiliary rib is uniformly distributed between the main ribs and is continuous in the whole cabin.

[0065] The main rib includes the longitudinal main rib, the girth main rib and the inclined main rib, is continuous in the whole cabin, and the longitudinal main rib, the girth main rib and the inclined main rib jointly act, so that the load transmission efficiency is high and the overall stability of the structure is good. The continuous inclined main rib greatly improves the bearing efficiency relative to the traditional pure vertical rib, and the angle of the inclined main rib can be adjusted according to the cabin body configuration size and the main load of the cabin body.

[0066] The wallboard rib of the sealed cabin shell structure, the main rib optimization process is as follows: firstly, a finite element model of the sealed cabin structure is established, the main rib of the wallboard rib is topologically optimized according to the load condition of the lunar lander, the layout position and configuration of the rib are determined, the topological optimization is constrained by the strength and stiffness meeting the requirements, and the structure weight minimum is taken as the target; in the second step, the reconfiguration of the processable model is carried out according to the topological optimization result; in the third step, the rib thickness in different regions and the overall rib height are taken as optimization variables, and parameter optimization is carried out, the parameter optimization is constrained by the structure minimum instability coefficient ≥ 2, and the weight minimum is taken as the target; in the fourth step, the model after reconfiguration is checked for strength and stiffness. The auxiliary rib optimization process is as follows: the local structure minimum instability coefficient ≥ 2 is taken as the constraint, the weight minimum is taken as the target, and the auxiliary rib parameters are optimized.

[0067] The sealed cabin shell structure adopts a new process to improve the structural performance: for the first time, the friction stir welding with high welding coefficient and excellent welding performance is used on the manned spacecraft to realize the welding of medium-thickness cabin structure, so as to realize the continuous reinforcement of thin-walled cabin structure, specifically: the front spherical cone of the front cone segment 2 is integrally formed by using the spinning process, the rear cone segment 8 uses a whole forging ring, there is no stitch welding seam, the structural efficiency is improved, the structural stiffness is enhanced, and the processing technology is simplified, and the connecting frames and wallboards at the remaining positions are welded by using the friction stir welding process.

[0068] In order to ensure the continuity of the wall plate rib, the wall plate rib processing process is that the non-welding area completes the rib processing in the part state, the welding area is not processed before welding, the welding area is reserved as 20mm thick uniform thick material, and the rib of the area is milled after welding. The VPPA welding thickness used in the traditional manned capsule is 3-10mm, which cannot meet the requirements, so the friction stir welding with a larger welding thickness range is used for the first time in the manned capsule.

The welding link between the wall plates is reduced, the manufacturing process is optimized, and the shell stiffness is increased. The first column section 4 and the second column section 6 are wall plate structures, respectively welded by four wall plate parts. The rear cone section 8 is integrally formed, and the raw material adopts overall ring binding process, which reduces two circumferential welds and multiple longitudinal welds, optimizes the manufacturing process, and increases the shell stiffness.

[0070] The large-span continuous ribbed overall wall plate type capsule shell structure is designed with an outboard hatch door which can be opened and closed inside and outside as a channel for astronauts to enter and exit the moon. The hatch door opening is directly screwed with a stiffener beam instead of using the traditional local thickening method, and the wall plate does not need to design a complex section stiffening frame locally, and the raw material does not need to be thickened a lot, and the processing process is simplified. The local skin does not need to be specially thickened, and the structure has high utilization efficiency and lightweight degree. The outboard hatch door is a square hatch door with a diameter of 1000mmx1000mm. The side wall of the capsule needs to be designed with an opening of 1000mmx1000mm, and the shell structure strength and stiffness at the opening are greatly weakened. In order to increase the local stiffness, an I-shaped section stiffener beam is screwed on both sides of the shell to strengthen the shell structure, as shown in Figure 11 (a)、 Figure 11 (b).
