Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a thrust frame for engine test, in particular to an inclined liquid rocket engine thrust frame with a composite constraint structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The thrust frame is the main bearing equipment in liquid rocket engine test, and an inclined thrust frame is commonly used, which mainly consists of a fixed frame and a movable frame. The movable frame is the main force transmission structure, and the gravity direction of the movable frame and the axial direction of the engine thrust exist an angle, so the structure of the movable frame needs to be supported and constrained to ensure the stability of the structure; the support and constraint support point of the engine relative to the movable frame is a cantilever structure when the engine is installed, which will produce a bending moment effect; at the same time, the liquid rocket engine test has a large vibration, and due to the influence of assembly accuracy, the thrust will have some lateral forces (non-thrust axis direction), including radial, tangential and other directions, the direction is uncertain; the above gravity, bending moment and lateral force need to be borne by the constraint structure between the fixed frame and the movable frame. In addition, the load characteristics of the large end, middle section and small end of the movable frame also exist differences: the large end is closest 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 is mainly from the deformation and displacement of the movable frame itself, and is closest to the position of the gravity center of the movable frame structure; the small end contacts the force sensor, and needs to ensure the accurate and stable contact position, the bending moment of the gravity is the largest, and the axial deformation is the smallest. The movable frame transmits the thrust load to the force sensor, and due to the deformation of the force sensor itself, the movable frame as a whole will have a displacement of 0.2-1.0mm towards the force sensor. The movable frame is generally a two-section conical structure piece welded by plates and pipes, and under the action of the thrust load, the structure piece will produce elastic deformation in the thrust axis direction, and the deformation amount is generally 2-3mm. In the middle section area, it will be "expanded" by pressure and produce elastic deformation in the radial direction, and the deformation amount is generally 0.5-1mm. As can be seen, the constraint structure of the inclined thrust frame not only needs to overcome the gravity, lateral force and bending moment, but also needs to have elastic compensation capability. In order to ensure the accuracy of the thrust measurement, the stiffness of the constraint structure in the thrust axial direction needs to be as small as possible, so that the thrust transmission efficiency is as high as possible.

[0003] In the prior art, some thrust frames only use the constraint limiting method of flexible spring plate support structure, and the spring plate structure will have a great risk of structural failure under the moment effect of large mass engine and adapter frame, resulting in the separation of the movable frame. Chinese patent CN118049331A discloses a radial deformation adjustable constraint device and a liquid rocket engine test thrust frame, which adopts a radial deformation adjustable constraint device in the middle section of the movable frame to reinforce the middle section of the movable frame, which can resist the radial deformation of the middle section of the movable frame, but it is difficult to ensure the stability of the movable frame and the engine thrust axis as a whole, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the thrust.
