Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a thrust frame for engine testing, in particular to an inclined liquid rocket engine thrust frame with a composite constraint structure. Background Art

[0002] The thrust frame is the main load-bearing equipment during the test of liquid rocket engines. Among them, an inclined thrust frame is commonly used, which is mainly composed of a fixed frame and a dynamic frame. The dynamic frame is the main force transmission structure. There is an angle between the gravity direction of the dynamic frame and the axial direction of the engine thrust. The dynamic frame structure needs to be supported and constrained to ensure the stability of the structure; when the engine is installed, the support and constraint fulcrum relative to the dynamic frame is a cantilever structure, which will produce a bending moment; at the same time, the liquid rocket engine test has a large vibration. Affected by the assembly accuracy, the thrust will have some lateral forces (non-thrust axis direction), including radial, tangential, etc., and the direction is uncertain; the above gravity, bending moment and lateral force all need to be borne by the constraint structure between the fixed frame and the dynamic frame. In addition, there are differences in the load characteristics of the large end, middle section and small end of the dynamic frame: the large end is close to the test liquid rocket engine, the vibration degree is the largest, the lateral load is large, and the axial displacement is the largest; the middle section load mainly comes from the load deformation and displacement of the dynamic frame itself, which is closest to the center of gravity of the dynamic frame structure; the small end contacts the force sensor, and it is necessary to ensure that the contact position is accurate and stable, the bending moment of gravity is the largest, and the axial deformation is the smallest. The movable frame transfers the thrust load to the force sensor. Due to the deformation of the force sensor itself, the movable frame as a whole will have a displacement of 0.2 to 1.0 mm in the direction of the force sensor. The movable frame is generally a two-section cone structure welded by plate and tube. Under the action of the thrust load, the structure will produce elastic deformation in the direction of the thrust axis, and the deformation is generally 2 to 3 mm. The middle section will be compressed and "expanded", producing elastic deformation in the radial direction, and the deformation is generally 0.5 to 1 mm. It can be seen that the constraint structure of the inclined thrust frame must not only overcome gravity, lateral force, and bending moment, but also have elastic compensation capabilities. In order to ensure the accuracy of thrust measurement, the stiffness of the constraint structure in the thrust axial direction needs to be as small as possible to make the thrust transmission efficiency as high as possible.

[0003] In the prior art, some thrust frames only use a flexible spring plate support structure to limit the position. The spring plate structure will have a huge risk of structural failure under the torque of a large-mass engine and an adapter frame, resulting in a huge risk of the dynamic frame being detached. Chinese patent CN118049331A discloses a radially deformable adjustable constraint device and a thrust frame for liquid rocket engine testing. The thrust frame uses a radially deformable adjustable constraint device in the middle section of the dynamic frame to reinforce the middle section of the dynamic frame and resist radial deformation of the middle section of the dynamic frame. However, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the dynamic frame and the engine thrust axis as a whole, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the thrust. Summary of the invention

[0054] The rear spring plate 32 is a rectangular variable cross-section structure, and the order of cross-section change is thick-thin-thick-thin-thick. Except that the length of the middle thick part is different from that of the front spring plate 13, the other parameters are consistent with the front spring plate 13. The length ratio of each part of the rear spring plate 32 is 1:1:5:1:1; because the large end of the moving frame 5 is closer to the test liquid rocket engine, the vibration and axial deformation are greater, so the front spring plate 13 is selected to be short to ensure its axial stability; the small end of the moving frame 5 is far away from the engine and the axial deformation is small, so the rear spring plate 32 is selected to be long to ensure low axial stiffness and improve the thrust transfer ratio.

[0055] In summary, the present embodiment provides a tilted liquid rocket engine thrust frame with a composite constraint structure, and its composite constraint structure can withstand the gravity of the dynamic frame 5 in the thrust frame, so that the force transmission path of the dynamic frame 5 is guaranteed to be on the thrust axis. At the same time, it can also withstand the bending moment generated by the engine and the lateral force caused by vibration and other reasons during the engine test, thereby ensuring the stability of the thrust frame and the thrust axis, thereby realizing accurate transmission and measurement of thrust.
