Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an end device, in particular to an end device suitable for automatic fire extinguishing treatment after a solid rocket engine test run. Background Art

[0002] The refined design of the insulation layer is an important way to improve the performance of solid rocket engines. At present, the ablation state analysis of the insulation layer after the engine test is mainly carried out by measuring the remaining thickness of the insulation layer through the dissection of the combustion chamber. However, the insulation layer structure is still affected by the residual temperature and fire in the combustion chamber after the engine operation and continues to ablate, resulting in the remaining thickness of the insulation layer measured after the combustion chamber dissection being less than the true value, and it can only be compensated by increasing the thickness redundancy of the insulation layer.

[0003] To prevent the ablation of the insulation layer after the engine operation and retain the true ablation state of the insulation layer after the engine operation to the greatest extent, at present, the method of blocking the nozzle of the engine after the test run is usually adopted, that is, a conical simple plug wrapped with asbestos cloth is used to block the engine nozzle, and the combustion chamber of the engine is isolated from the outside air, so that the remaining fire in the combustion chamber slowly extinguishes under the condition of lack of oxygen. However, the use of a simple plug wrapped with asbestos cloth to achieve the effect of isolating the outside air is not ideal, and it is difficult to adapt to engines with different structural parameters such as expansion angles and nozzle lengths. In addition, the fire extinguishing effect by simply blocking the nozzle or suffocating and cooling is not ideal, and it still takes a long time for the remaining fire in the combustion chamber to extinguish.

[0004] The inert medium suffocating and cooling solid rocket engine technology disclosed in Patent CN111122166 A only fills nitrogen into the engine through a linear cylinder carrying a spray gun, but it cannot isolate the continuous inflow of external air into the combustion chamber, and the fire extinguishing effect is not fast enough.

[0005] Therefore, proceeding from the actual situation and combining with the test run site, it is urgent to develop a stable and reliable end device suitable for automatic fire extinguishing after a solid rocket engine test run, which supports changing the previous fire extinguishing method after a solid rocket engine test run, realizes rapid, safe and efficient suffocating fire extinguishing after the engine test run, helps to optimize the design of the insulation layer thickness of the engine, and accelerates the lightweight and performance improvement of the engine.

[0097] The preparation method of the flexible sealing layer 3-7 includes the following steps:

[0098] (1) The preparation tooling for the flexible sealing layer 3-7 is a combined pressing die 7, which includes an inner die 7-1 and an outer die 7-2, as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 shown;

[0099] (2) Select an adiabatic material with an elongation rate higher than 500% and an ablation rate lower than 0.07 mm / s for circular cutting. Fill the cut blanks into the outer die 7-2 in the order of placing the one with a larger outer diameter at the bottom and the one with a smaller outer diameter at the top. Place the inner die 7-1 into the outer die 7-2 to ensure that the guide posts provided on the outer die 7-2 enter the central hole of the inner membrane 7-1.

[0100] (3) Place the combined pressing die on a flat vulcanizing machine, control the temperature range of 150°C - 160°C, and preheat the adiabatic material for 2 min - 3 min.

[0101] (4) According to the pressing process of 1 MPa - 3 MPa, 5 MPa - 7 MPa, 8 MPa - 10 MPa, 12 MPa - 15 MPa, press in sequence, and the pressure holding time is 2 min - 3 min, 2 min - 3 min, 2 min - 3 min, 10 min - 15 min respectively.

[0102] (5) Use a triangular knife to cut off the waste edges of the blanks on the outside of the combined pressing die, and push up the inner membrane through the bolts provided on the outer die to complete demolding.

[0103] During operation, as Figures 9 - 11 shown, apply the combined pressing die 7, and press the flexible sealing layer 3-7 according to the preparation method and steps of the flexible sealing layer 3-7, using a flat vulcanizing machine (a conventional device, omitted in the figure); as Figures 4 - 5 shown, apply epoxy resin bonding glue (a conventional material, omitted in the figure), evenly coat and bond the flexible sealing layer 3-7 on the sealing support frame 3-3, place the transition plate 3-5 horizontally downward, and cure it upside down for more than 48 h to form the end sealing mechanism 3; as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, a connected gas path system is built, and the compensation air supply adjustment unit 2-4 is externally connected to an air compressor pump (a conventional device, omitted in the figure). The compensation air supply control unit 2-3 is adjusted to keep the floating unit 4-1 in a fixed state. After the solid rocket engine 6 is tested in the afterburner (a conventional device, omitted in the figure), the adjusting handwheel 5-12 is rotated so that the seal support frame 3-3 of the end seal mechanism 3 is coaxial with the combustion chamber. The stop locking knob 5-11 is adjusted to lock the adjusting handwheel 5-12.

After the solid rocket engine 6 is tested, as Figure 8 shown in the figure, under the action of an automatic execution device (a conventional power device, omitted in the figure), the end seal mechanism 3 slowly completes the docking process when approaching the solid rocket engine 6 nozzle. When the flexible seal layer 3-7 contacts the solid rocket engine nozzles with different expansion angles and other structural dimensions, it generates a small elastic deformation to achieve effective sealing. As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the inert gas is blown into the combustion chamber of the solid rocket engine 6 through the intake pipe 3-1, and the blown-out flame is discharged from the outlet pipe 3-6. The flame in the combustion chamber of the solid rocket engine 6 is extinguished, and the hot and cold gas environment exchange is continuously completed until the temperature in the combustion chamber drops below the ablation ignition point of the insulation layer, and the ablation of the insulation layer stops.

The end device for automatically extinguishing fire after a test run of a solid rocket motor according to claim 5, characterized in that, The floating unit remains in a floating state during the docking and sealing process between the end sealing mechanism and the engine nozzle, and also remains in a floating state during the process of the end sealing mechanism disengaging from the engine nozzle, and remains fixed during the rest of the working process.

8. The end device for automatically extinguishing fire after the test run of a solid rocket motor according to claim 4, characterized in that, The flexible sealing layer is made of an elastic ablative-resistant material.

9. The end device for automatically extinguishing fire after the test run of a solid rocket motor according to claim 4 or 8, characterized in that, The preparation method of the flexible sealing layer includes the following steps: (1) The preparation tooling of the flexible sealing layer uses a combined pressing die, including an inner die and an outer die; (2) Select an adiabatic material with an elongation rate higher than 500% and an ablation rate lower than 0.07 mm / s for circular cutting. Fill the cut blank into the outer die in the order of placing the one with a larger outer diameter dimension at the bottom and the one with a smaller outer diameter dimension at the top. Place the inner die into the outer die to ensure that the guide post set on the outer die enters the central hole of the inner membrane; (3) Place the combined pressing die on a flat vulcanizing machine, control the temperature range of 150°C - 160°C, and preheat the adiabatic material for 2 min - 3 min; (4) According to the pressing process of 1 MPa - 3 MPa, 5 MPa - 7 MPa, 8 MPa - 10 MPa, 12 MPa - 15 MPa, press in sequence, and the pressure holding time is 2 min - 3 min, 2 min - 3 min, 2 min - 3 min, 10 min - 15 min respectively; (5) Use a triangular knife to cut off the waste edge of the blank outside the combined pressing die, and push up the inner membrane through the bolts set on the outer die to complete the demolding.
