Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an ejection buffer device based on porous metal filled with fire-resistant hydraulic oil, belonging to the technical field of ejection body launching. Background Art
[0002] Existing ejection load buffer devices include rubber base hanging ejection buffer devices, flexible airbag ejection buffer devices, telescopic cylinder ejection buffer devices, etc. The rubber base hanging ejection fully contacts the ground through the deformation of the rubber base at the bottom of the launch tube, increasing the contact area to buffer the ejection load. The flexible airbag ejection buffers the ejection load by increasing the boundary of the flexible cylinder, making the expansion working distance of the compressed gas longer. The telescopic cylinder ejection buffers the ejection load by nesting an inner cylinder in an outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder extends during ejection to make the expansion working distance of the compressed gas longer.
[0003] Although the above three ejection buffer devices can buffer the ejection load, they also have deficiencies. The rubber base hanging ejection only increases the contact area between the launch tube and the ground, and the effect of buffering the ejection load is not obvious. During the flexible airbag ejection process, the flexible airbag is difficult to withstand high-temperature gas, so only a compressed gas cylinder can be used as the power source. When the ejection mass is large, the volume of the compressed gas will increase significantly, which is not conducive to production and installation. During the telescopic cylinder ejection process, the braking and blocking of the inner cylinder after elongation have not been well solved, which may affect the attitude of the ejected body.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the deficiencies of existing various ejection buffer devices, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of ejection buffer device that can effectively buffer the ejection load, withstand high-temperature gas, and have no impact on the ejected body and the launch platform. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an ejection buffer device based on porous metal filled with fire-resistant hydraulic oil.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] An ejection load device based on porous metal filled with fire-resistant hydraulic oil, including a launch tube 12, a buffer tube 10, a porous metal block 1, and an ejection power source 8;
[0008] The pores of the porous metal block 1 are filled with fire-resistant hydraulic oil;
[0009] The bottom of the buffer tube 10 is provided with damping holes 2;
[0010] The top of the buffer tube 10 is provided with a top cover 11, and there is a sealing ring 5 between the top cover 11 and the body of the buffer tube 10;
[0011] The buffer cylinder 10 is installed at the bottom of the launch tube 12, and the buffer cylinder 10 is limited by a directional stop block 13;
[0012] The bottom of the launch tube 12 is provided with a drain hole 4, and a frangible cover 3 is provided at the drain hole 4;
[0013] The damping holes 2 at the bottom of the buffer cylinder 10 are aligned with the drain holes 4 at the bottom of the launch tube 12 one by one. The fire-resistant hydraulic oil in the holes of the porous metal block 1 squeezes the frangible cover 3 after passing through the damping holes 2 at the bottom of the buffer cylinder 10. After the frangible cover 3 is broken, the fire-resistant hydraulic oil is discharged through the drain holes 4 at the bottom of the launch tube 12;
[0014] The bottom of the projectile 14 is provided with a tail cover 9. The projectile 14 and the tail cover 9 are both installed in the launch tube 12, and the tail cover 9 is limited by a directional stop block 13. The projectile 14 is guided by an adapter 15 so that the projectile 14 can be launched along the axis of the launch tube 12;
[0015] The ejection power source 8 is fixedly installed in the launch tube 12 through a propellant holder 6 and is located between the buffer cylinder 10 and the projectile 14;
[0016] A cavity is formed between the inner walls of the tail cover 9, the buffer cylinder 10 and the launch tube 12, and this cavity is defined as a low-pressure chamber;
[0017] An ejection buffering method for an ejection buffering device based on filling a porous metal with fire-resistant hydraulic oil includes the following steps:
[0018] S1, fully fill the porous metal block with fire-resistant hydraulic oil, assemble the processed components, and check the effectiveness of the sealing ring and the frangible cover;
[0019] S2, fix the ejection power source in the launch tube 12 through a propellant holder, and load the projectile, the tail cover and the adapter into the launch tube, and ignite for an ejection buffering test;
[0020] S3, ignite the ejection power source. The ejection power source releases a large amount of gas into the low-pressure chamber. The gas pushes the tail cover and the projectile to accelerate and eject outwards along the launch tube. At the same time, it pushes the top cover to crush the porous metal block and compress the filled hydraulic oil. The pressure of the hydraulic oil rises to break the frangible cover, and it is discharged through the damping holes and the drain holes;
[0021] S4, record the crushing state of the porous metal, the discharge state of the hydraulic oil, the pressure of the low-pressure chamber, and the displacement, speed and acceleration changes of the projectile.
[0022] Adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0023] The present invention provides an ejection buffer device based on a porous metal filled with fire-resistant hydraulic oil, which reduces the ejection recoil force through the plastic deformation during the crushing process of the porous metal and the viscous friction of the hydraulic oil passing through the damping holes, achieving the effect of ejection buffering. It has low requirements for the ground, strong ground adaptability, can effectively buffer the ejection load, withstand high-temperature gas, and will not have an obvious impact on the ejected object and the launch platform. It can effectively improve the rapid response ability of the launch, thereby enhancing the survival ability.

The outer bottom of the buffer tube 10 is fixed to the inner bottom of the launch tube 12 by bolts. The damping holes 2 at the bottom of the buffer tube 10 are sealed by installing a frangible cover 3. The drain hole 4 at the bottom of the launch tube 12 is aligned and assembled with the damping hole 2 under the constraint of the directional stop 13. The porous metal 1 filled with fire-resistant hydraulic oil is placed inside the buffer tube 10. The top cover 11 is fitted and installed on the top of the buffer tube 10, and a sealing ring 5 is extruded and filled at the gap.

A number of adapters 15 are placed between the outer surface of the projectile 14 and the inner surface of the launch tube 12 after pre-tightening.
[0029] The pores inside the porous metal are interconnected to form a continuous three-dimensional porous structure. This structure has good permeability, and fluids can flow naturally between the pores.

The increased pressure of the hydraulic oil causes the fragile cover to break and discharge through the damping holes and drain holes.

[0054] The damping holes 2 at the bottom of the buffer cylinder 10 are aligned with the drain holes 4 at the bottom of the launch tube 12 one by one. The fire-resistant hydraulic oil in the holes of the porous metal block 1 passes through the damping holes 2 at the bottom of the buffer cylinder 10 and then squeezes the frangible cover 3. After the frangible cover 3 is broken, the fire-resistant hydraulic oil is discharged through the drain holes 4 at the bottom of the launch tube 12;
