[0002] With the development of aerospace technology, carbon fiber composite materials, due to their advantages such as high specific strength, high specific modulus, and corrosion resistance, have been widely used in the casing structure of solid rocket motors. During service, the solid rocket motor casing not only withstands the high internal pressure generated by the combustion of the propellant grain but also faces axial loads during flight, especially at the moment of ignition, when the casing is subjected to strong dynamic axial impact. To ensure the structural safety and reliability of strategic weapons such as rockets and missiles during launch and flight, targeted mechanical performance tests must be conducted during the design phase to comprehensively verify the load-bearing capacity of the casing.
[0003] However, existing testing methods mainly rely on single internal pressure loading or uniaxial compression, which makes it difficult to realistically simulate the combined internal pressure and axial compression environment of the shell during service. This results in limitations in our understanding of structural response and potential failure mechanisms. This testing mode is not conducive to revealing multi-field coupled behaviors such as crack propagation and damage evolution, thus affecting structural design optimization and safety assessment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] The purpose of this invention is to provide a joint testing system for internal pressure and axial pressure of solid rocket motor casing to solve the problems existing in the prior art. It can realize the joint loading of internal pressure and axial pressure, carry out test research under multi-load coupling conditions, thereby obtaining mechanical response data that is closer to the actual service state, and improving the scientificity and reliability of structural design.
[0035] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] This invention provides a combined testing system for internal pressure and axial pressure of a solid rocket motor casing, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a combined testing device 1, an axial compression loading system 4, an internal pressure loading system 2, and an automatic control system 3; wherein, the combined testing device 1 includes a test chamber 11, a clamping assembly 15, and an axial pressure assembly; the clamping assembly 15 is disposed on the inner base 111 of the test chamber 11 and is used to clamp one end of the shell 14 to be tested along the axial direction; the axial pressure assembly is used to apply axial pressure to the shell 14 to be tested.
[0037] The axial pressure assembly includes an axial drive device 12, one end of which is connected to the inner top wall of the test chamber 11, and the other end of which is capable of extending and retracting along the axial direction of the housing 14 to be tested. An axial pressure loading system 4 is connected to the axial drive device 12 and is used to provide axial loading pressure, which is transmitted through the axial drive device 12. In a specific embodiment, the axial pressure loading system 4 can generate hydraulic oil with a certain pressure, which causes the telescopic rod of the axial drive device 12 to extend outward to apply axial pressure to the housing 14 to be tested.
[0038] And, as Figure 4 As shown, a water inlet pipe 16 is provided on the test housing 14. One end of the water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the interior of the test housing 14, and the other end is connected to the internal pressure loading system 2. The internal pressure loading system 2 is used to pressurize the flowing medium, such as water, and thus pressurize the interior of the test housing 14 to form an internal loading pressure.
[0039] The automatic control system 3 is connected to the axial pressure loading system 4 to control the axial pressure loading system 4 to apply axial pressure to the housing 14 under test or to stop applying axial pressure; the automatic control system 3 is connected to the internal pressure loading system 2 to control the internal pressure loading system 2 to apply internal pressure to the housing 14 under test or to stop applying internal pressure.

The first connecting plate 131 and the second connecting plate 132 are parallel to each other and spaced apart. The two ends of the supporting vertical plates 133 are respectively connected to the first connecting plate 131 and the second connecting plate 132. During the test, the second connecting plate 132 abuts against one end of the shell 14 to be tested axially, and one end of the axial driving device 12 abuts against the first connecting plate 131, so that the axial driving device 12 can apply axial loading force to the shell 14 to be tested through the loading head 13.
[0046] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 15 includes multiple fixing blocks 151 and multiple fasteners 152.

The multiple fixing blocks 151 can be connected and fixed to the multiple positioning holes 112 of any set of clamping assemblies 15 using fasteners 152, and the multiple fixing blocks 151 are used to clamp one axial end of the housing 14 to be tested. Figure 5 As shown, multiple fixing blocks 151 are arranged in a circle and used to clamp the bottom end of the housing 14 to be tested.
[0047] By setting multiple sets of positioning holes and connecting and fixing multiple fixing blocks 151 to different sets of positioning holes, the present invention can adapt to clamp and fix test housings 14 of different diameters and ensure that the test housings 14 will not shift during axial compression loading.

[0062] The testing procedure for the solid rocket motor casing internal pressure and axial pressure combined testing system of the present invention during use is as follows:
[0063] 1. Preparation before testing
[0064] Adjust the clamping assembly 15 according to the size of the housing 14 to be tested.
[0065] Check that all components of the internal pressure loading system 2 are securely connected. The water tank 21 should be filled with water to ensure that the first electric valve 22, pressurizing device 23, first pressure gauge 24, and regulating valve 25 are all functioning properly.
[0066] Check the axial pressure loading system 4 to ensure that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic device 41 is sufficient and that the second pressure gauge 42 is displaying normally.
[0067] Inspect the pressure relief system 5 to confirm that the third pressure gauge 51, check valve 52, manual ball valve 53, second electric valve 54, filter 55, and wastewater collection device 56 are correctly connected and functioning properly. The manual ball valve 53 should be in the closed position before testing.
[0068] Ensure that the camera device 7 and the display device 8 are properly connected, and that the four channels of the data acquisition system 9—the first sensor channel 91 (safety pressure relief sensor channel), the second sensor channel 92 (housing internal pressure sensor channel), the third sensor channel 93 (internal pressure supply system pressure sensor channel), and the fourth sensor channel 94 (axial pressure sensor channel)—can all acquire data normally.
[0069] 2. Testing Process
[0070] Internal pressure loading: The first electric valve 22 in the internal pressure loading system 2 is opened, and water in the water tank 21 flows into the pipeline under the control of the first electric valve 22. The pressure is increased by the pressurizing device 23, allowing the water to enter the inlet of the housing 14 to be tested. During this process, the first pressure gauge 24 is observed, and the water flow pressure is adjusted by the regulating valve 25 to reach the predetermined internal pressure loading value. At the same time, the internal pressure sensor channel of the housing collects the pressure data inside the housing in real time.
[0071] Axial pressure loading: The hydraulic device 41 of the axial pressure loading system 4 is activated. The hydraulic device 41 generates an axial pressure load, which is transmitted to the loading head 13 through a hydraulic jack. The loading head 13 acts on the housing 14 to be tested, thereby achieving axial pressure loading on the housing 14. During the loading process, the second pressure gauge 42 is observed to ensure that the axial pressure load reaches the predetermined value. The axial pressure sensor channel collects axial pressure data in real time.
[0072] Synchronous loading of axial pressure and internal pressure: The first electric valve 22 of the internal pressure loading system 2 and the hydraulic device 41 of the axial pressure loading system 4 are opened synchronously by the automatic control system 3 to achieve synchronous loading of axial pressure and internal pressure.
[0073] Real-time monitoring: Throughout the loading process, a high-speed camera continuously captures images of the test housing 14, monitoring its deformation and crack propagation in real time, and transmitting the image data to a computer. The safety relief pressure sensor channel and the internal pressure supply system pressure sensor channel monitor the pressure of the relief system 5 and the internal pressure loading system 2 in real time, respectively. The housing internal pressure sensor channel monitors the internal pressure of the housing in real time during loading. The axial pressure sensor channel monitors changes in the axial load on the housing.
[0074] Abnormal Handling: If the fourth pressure gauge 6 of the housing detects an abnormal increase or decrease in the internal pressure of the housing, it may be due to abnormal operating conditions such as excessive structural design margin, leakage, or failure of the housing. At this time, the second electric valve 54 in the pressure relief system 5 will automatically open, and the wastewater inside the housing will flow into the wastewater collection device 56 after being filtered by the filter 55. The third pressure gauge 51 can display the pipeline pressure in the pressure relief system 5. In order to prevent the internal components of the safety pressure relief system from being damaged due to excessive internal pressure, thereby causing potential safety risks.
[0075] 3. Test ends
[0076] First, close the first electric valve 22 and the pressurizing device 23 in the internal pressure loading system 2 to stop supplying water and pressurizing the internal pressure loading system 2. Then, slowly release the pressure inside the shell and drain the water by opening the outlet.
[0077] Shutting down the hydraulic device 41 of the axial load system 4 causes the hydraulic jack to unload, and the axial load gradually decreases.
[0078] After the test, check all system components for damage or abnormalities. Clean the wastewater collection device 56 in the test chamber 11 and the pressure relief system 5, and perform maintenance on the equipment to prepare for the next test.
[0079] The solid rocket motor casing internal pressure and axial pressure joint testing system of the present invention can realize the joint loading test of internal pressure and axial pressure, which can comprehensively simulate the multiple load conditions that the solid rocket motor casing is subjected to during actual service, thereby obtaining more representative mechanical response data and improving the engineering applicability of the test results;
[0080] Furthermore, it is equipped with an adjustable adaptive clamping fixture, which can flexibly adapt to housings of different specifications and sizes, significantly enhancing the versatility and expandability of the test platform and meeting the testing needs of multiple engine housing models.
[0081] Furthermore, this invention incorporates an intelligent safety pressure relief system that can automatically identify and handle abnormal conditions such as shell leakage and failure during internal pressure loading, effectively ensuring the safety of the testing process and the reliability of the test data.
[0082] Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
