DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration, not limitation, to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known pyrotechnic separation techniques and pyrotechnic separation equipment are omitted to avoid obscuring the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

[0025] The terms used in the following embodiments are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions "a," "said," "above," and "the" are intended to also include expressions such as "one or more," unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0026] With the development of my country's aerospace technology, the instruments and equipment carried by spacecraft are becoming more and more sophisticated. Precision instruments have extremely high requirements for the transportation environment. They must avoid being damaged by debris generated during the launch mission, and avoid damage to the equipment caused by excessive vibration and impact loads.

[0027] The pyrotechnic separation device has unique advantages for the separation tasks of some aerospace structures due to its fast response, low delay and high synchronization. The gunpowder in the expansion tube separation device indirectly acts and destroys the separation structure through the expansion of the flat tube, which not only maintains the original advantages but also has the characteristics of low impact, and is widely used.

[0028] Accordingly, the pyrotechnic separation device, as a key part of the spacecraft to achieve tasks such as inter-stage separation and ultimately ensure the smooth completion of the launch mission, has been systematically studied. According to the actuation mode, pyrotechnic separation is mainly divided into two categories: point explosion separation device and linear explosion separation device.

[0029] In related technologies, point-type release devices are limited in their application scenarios due to assembly strength limitations. They often require a large number of release devices to operate simultaneously, placing extremely high demands on the synchronization of pyrotechnic devices and resulting in limited reliability. However, linear release devices offer high load capacity, rapid response, short operating times, and high synchronization, while also generating lower impact loads during operation than other types of linear release devices.

[0030] However, the expansion pipeline type pyrotechnic separation device is often separated on both sides, with a complex structure, heavy weight, and still a large impact. It is easy to generate debris during the separation process, which affects the instruments and equipment. The reliability requirements of the separation device are high. The separation plate close to the side of the rocket body is easy to fly into the interior of the rocket during the separation process, which is also not conducive to the safety of the equipment and devices inside the rocket body.

[0031] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a single-sided separated low-impact expansion pipeline-type pyrotechnic separation device, in which the separation plate is connected to the connecting limit plate and the "J"-shaped protective cover by fasteners, and a charging groove is provided at the center position of the protective cover, and a weakening groove is provided on the separation plate. The protective cover is located above the separation plate, and the vertical axis of the charging groove of the protective cover coincides with the axis of the weakening groove of the separation plate.

[0032] Furthermore, the explosive cord is located at the center of the flat tube, with a filler positioned between the explosive cord and the flat tube. The flat tube, filler, and explosive together form an expansion tube, which is positioned within the charge slot of the protective cover. The expansion tube has a cross-section with parallel upper and lower sides connected by a semicircular border, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the axis of the flat tube.

[0033] An embodiment of the present application provides a single-side separated low-impact expansion pipeline-type pyrotechnic separation device. According to the relationship between the degree of structural damage caused by the explosion impact and the material failure criterion, an upper limit of the thickness dimension of the structure damaged by the expansion work of the expansion tube is established, and the design upper limit of the weakening groove of the separation plate and the design lower limit of the protective thickness of the protective cover can be determined at the same time.

[0034] Moreover, the separation plate is 2.5 meters away from the center of the weakening groove. The thickness is reduced to size , which can further improve the lightweight level of the separation device.

[0035] In addition, the weakening groove of the trapezoidal structure, which has an arc-shaped short side and a trapezoidal-shaped structure, reduces the amount of gunpowder loaded in the expansion tube explosive rope while ensuring the smooth separation of the separation device, and reduces the high-frequency vibration impact transmitted to the structure during the operation of the separation device from the impact source.

[0036] In addition, the device includes a separation plate, a protective cover and a connection limit plate. Compared with existing separation devices of the same type, this device can achieve single-sided separation and is applicable to a wider range of separation task scenarios.

[0037] It should be noted that the single-sided separation low-impact expansion pipeline pyrotechnic separation device provided in this application only separates one side. Compared with other linear pyrotechnic separation devices where the explosion impact directly acts on the separation plate, the separation plate is only destroyed through the expansion tube. No excess explosion products are generated during the separation process, thereby improving the safety of the separation action.

[0038] Moreover, compared with the two-side separation form of existing separation devices of the same type, only a single-side separation plate is required, which requires less space on the non-separation side, effectively reducing the overall weight of the separation device and achieving a higher level of equipment lightweighting.

[0039] Furthermore, compared with the two-sided separation form of existing separation devices of the same type, only a single-sided separation plate is required. The acceleration impact response frequency domain peak generated by the expansion tube on the separation plate is lower, and the interference to the electronic devices inside the aircraft is lower, further improving the safety of related equipment.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic structural diagram of a low-impact expansion pipeline type pyrotechnic separation device with unilateral separation proposed in an embodiment of the present application. The low-impact expansion pipeline type pyrotechnic separation device described in the present application includes: a separation plate 1, a protective cover 2, a flat tube 3, a filler 4, an explosive cord 5, and a connecting limit plate 6.

[0041] Among them, the protective cover 2 is in a "U" shape and can be connected to the separation plate 1 through fasteners. Similarly, the limiting side of the connecting limit plate 6 can also be connected to the separation plate 1 through fasteners.

[0042] Moreover, a charge groove can be provided at the center position of the protective cover 2, a weakened groove is opened on the separation plate 1, the protective cover 2 can be located above the separation plate 1, and the vertical axis of the charge groove of the protective cover 2 can coincide with the axis of the weakened groove of the separation plate 1.

[0043] In addition, the explosive cord 5 can be located at the center position inside the flat tube 3, and a filler 4 is installed between the explosive cord 5 and the flat tube 3. The flat tube 3, the filler 4, and the explosive cord 5 together form an expansion tube. Correspondingly, the expansion tube can be placed in the charge groove of the protective cover 2.

[0044] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the upper and lower sides of the cross-section of the expansion tube are in a parallel structure, and the upper and lower sides are connected by a semi-circular boundary, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the axis of the flat tube.

[0045] For example, referring to Figure 1 , the overall structural form of the expansion tube can be that the left and right ends are in a semi-circular structure, and the middle is a rectangular structure, and the short side of the rectangle is connected to the semi-circular structure. Among them, the long side of the rectangular structure can be 14.1 millimeters (mm), and it can be designed according to the diameter ratio of the rectangular structure to the semi-circular structure of 2:1, and the semi-circular diameter is obtained as 7.2 mm.

[0046] Correspondingly, according to the structural characteristics of the expansion tube, the cross-sectional radius corresponding to the charge amount of the central circular explosive cord 5 of the expansion tube is designed can be 0.6 mm, that is, the cross-sectional radius of the explosive cord 5 is 1 / 6 of the semi-circular radius of the expansion tube, less than 0.3 times the semi-circular radius of the expansion tube. Among them, this cross-sectional area size can correspond to a detonating cord of cyclonite with a standard bulk density of 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter (g / cm³).

[0047] Moreover, as Figure 2As shown, the surface of the separation plate 1 provided with the weakening groove is the first surface, and the surface of the separation plate 1 in contact with the protective cover 2 is the second surface. In order to ensure that a smaller charge of the explosive cord 5 is used as much as possible to reduce the high-frequency vibration generated by the explosion impact, while ensuring that the connection strength of the separation plate 1 has a certain margin, the thickness between the bottom of the weakening groove and the second surface can be designed.

[0048] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the thickness between the bottom of the weakened groove and the second surface It can be 2.3mm, and the distance between the first surface and the second surface, that is, the thickness of the separation plane The separation plane is the cross section of the separation plate.

[0049] Accordingly, according to the determined separation plane thickness The height from the bottom of the designed weakening groove to the first surface is the groove depth The closer to the upper limit, the more conducive to the lightweight design of the structure, but at the same time it will reduce the bearing capacity of the structure. In order to ensure that the bearing capacity of the separation plate 1 has a certain margin, the weight of the separation plate 1 can be reduced as much as possible to improve the lightweight level of the separation device. It is 3.6mm to meet the corresponding design requirements.

[0050] For example, the distance between the bottom of the weakened groove and the first surface is the groove depth , the distance from the first surface to the second surface is the thickness of the separation plane , separation plane thickness and groove depth Need to meet: .

[0051] Accordingly, the thickness between the bottom of the weakened groove and the second surface may be greater than or equal to a preset thickness threshold and less than a preset upper limit, wherein the upper limit may be determined based on the cross-sectional radius corresponding to the charge of the explosive cord.

[0052] For example, the thickness between the bottom of the groove and the second surface is weakened Can satisfy: in, Based on the relationship between the degree of structural damage caused by explosion impact and the material failure criterion, the upper limit of the thickness of the structure damaged by the expansion work of the expansion tube is established.

[0053] Accordingly, It can be expressed as: in, The cross-sectional radius corresponding to the charge amount of the circular explosive cord 5 at the center of the expansion tube.

[0054] Or, for ease of calculation, It can be expressed as: Accordingly, substitute , calculated .

[0055] In addition, in order to ensure that the separation device can smoothly realize the separation action, the tensile stress of the groove is weakened under the action of the detonation wave, thereby reducing the charge amount of the explosive cord 5 required in the separation process.

[0056] Moreover, the weakening groove may be a trapezoidal structure, and the short side of the weakening groove may be an arc-shaped structure, and the arc-shaped structure is tangent to the waist of the trapezoidal structure.

[0057] For example, the shape of the weakening groove can be set to trapezoidal, and the groove depth can be designed to be =3.6mm, which is the height of the trapezoid. The long side of the weakening groove is located on the first surface. The groove bottom is set as an arc structure with the short side of the trapezoid as the diameter. The arc structure can be tangent to the trapezoid busbar.

[0058] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, to ensure that the angle between the trapezoidal busbar and the inner side of the long side is ≤80 degrees (°), the size of the long side Need to meet , for example, the size of the long side can be designed 4.2mm, short side The size is 1.1mm.

[0059] Furthermore, in order to reduce the weight of the non-separation portion of the separation plate 1, the thickness of the separation plate 1 outside the 10.5 mm distance from the center of the weakening groove can be reduced. For example, the thickness of this area can be designed to be It can be 4mm.

[0060] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, in order to eliminate the stress concentration at the thickness change of the separation plane, a chamfer can be set at the thickness reduction point of the separation plane for transition. Among them, the thickness reduction point can be 2.5 from the separation plane to the center of the weakening groove. Moreover, the degree of the chamfer ranges from 100 degrees to 160 degrees.

[0061] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the thickness change of the separation plane is a chamfered corner at the thickness intersection of the separation plate 1 10.5 mm away from the center of the weakening groove. The degree can be 150 degrees.

[0062] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the assembly groove of the protective cover 2 can be set according to the shape of the expansion tube. The inner side of the assembly groove can be rectangular, and the inner side size can match the gap of the expansion tube, and the matching gap is less than 1mm.

[0063] It should be noted that the thickness of the protective cover 2 on the upper and lower sides of the expansion tube is , can be greater than the upper limit of the thickness of the structure destroyed when the expansion tube expands and works , while the thickness of the rest of the expansion tube is No less than .

[0064] For example, you can design 7mm, the thickness of other parts To ensure assembly strength, it can be designed to be 5mm.

[0065] In another optional embodiment, the non-assembly side of the protective cover 2 can be a limiting side, and an extension section can be provided on the limiting side of the protective cover 2, so that limiting can be achieved at the junction of the limiting structure connecting the limiting plate 6 through the extension section.

[0066] For example, the thickness of the extension section of the limiting side can be the same as the thickness of the assembly part of the protective cover 2. Furthermore, the thickness of the limiting structure connected to the limiting plate 6 and the plate thickness can both be 5 mm.

[0067] Furthermore, all structural transitions of the protective cover 2 and the connecting limit plate 6 are provided with rounded corners to eliminate stress concentration. The radius of the rounded corners can range from 1mm to 2.5mm. For example, at a thickness of 7mm, the rounded corner radius can be 2.5mm, and at a thickness of 5mm, the rounded corner radius can be 1.5mm.

[0068] Accordingly, during the operation of a low-impact expansion pipeline-type pyrotechnic separation device with single-side separation provided in the present application example, through experiments and finite element simulation, it can smoothly operate according to the following process: When the explosive cord 5 at the center of the flat tube 3 is detonated, the expansion of the filler 4 pushes the flat tube 3 outward, and the protective cover 2 guides the flat tube 3 to expand in a direction perpendicular to the long side of the flat tube 3. Under the restraining action of the connecting limit plate 6, the flat tube 3 expands toward the separation plate 1. After being acted upon by the flat tube 3, the separation plate 1 breaks at the weakening groove, completing the separation action.

[0069] To sum up, the example of this application provides a single-sided separated low-impact expansion pipeline-type pyrotechnic separation device, in which the separation plate is connected to the connecting limit plate and the "J"-shaped protective cover by fasteners, and a charging groove is provided at the center position of the protective cover, and a weakening groove is opened on the separation plate. The protective cover is located above the separation plate, and the vertical axis of the charging groove of the protective cover coincides with the axis of the weakening groove of the separation plate, which can meet the high load-bearing capacity, rapid response, short working time and high synchronization requirements required by the project.

[0070] Furthermore, the explosive cord is located at the center of the flat tube, with a filler positioned between the explosive cord and the flat tube. The flat tube, filler, and explosive together form an expansion tube, which is positioned within the charge slot of the protective cover. The expansion tube has a cross-section with parallel upper and lower sides connected by a semicircular border, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the axis of the flat tube.

[0071] An embodiment of the present application provides a single-side separated low-impact expansion pipeline-type pyrotechnic separation device. According to the relationship between the degree of structural damage caused by the explosion impact and the material failure criterion, an upper limit of the thickness dimension of the structure damaged by the expansion work of the expansion tube is established, and the design upper limit of the weakening groove of the separation plate and the design lower limit of the protective thickness of the protective cover can be determined at the same time.

[0072] Moreover, the separation plate is 2.5 meters away from the center of the weakening groove. The thickness is reduced to size , which can further improve the lightweight level of the separation device.

[0073] In addition, the weakening groove of the trapezoidal structure, which has an arc-shaped short side and a trapezoidal-shaped structure, reduces the amount of gunpowder loaded in the expansion tube explosive rope while ensuring the smooth separation of the separation device, and reduces the high-frequency vibration impact transmitted to the structure during the operation of the separation device from the impact source.

[0074] In addition, the device includes a separation plate, a protective cover and a connection limit plate. Compared with existing separation devices of the same type, this device can achieve single-sided separation and is applicable to a wider range of separation task scenarios.

[0075] It should be noted that the single-sided separation low-impact expansion pipeline pyrotechnic separation device provided in this application only separates one side. Compared with other linear pyrotechnic separation devices where the explosion impact directly acts on the separation plate, the separation plate is only destroyed through the expansion tube. No excess explosion products are generated during the separation process, thereby improving the safety of the separation action.

[0076] Moreover, compared with the two-side separation form of existing separation devices of the same type, only a single-side separation plate is required, which requires less space on the non-separation side, effectively reducing the overall weight of the separation device and achieving a higher level of equipment lightweighting.

[0077] Furthermore, compared with the two-sided separation form of existing separation devices of the same type, only a single-sided separation plate is required. The acceleration impact response frequency domain peak generated by the expansion tube on the separation plate is lower, and the interference to the electronic devices inside the aircraft is lower, further improving the safety of related equipment.

[0078] In addition, compared with existing separation devices of the same type, it can achieve single-sided separation, and no extra explosion products are generated during the separation process. At the same time, only a single-sided separation plate 1 is required, and the space requirement on the non-separation side is lower, which effectively reduces the overall weight of the separation device. The frequency domain peak of the acceleration impact response generated during the actuation process is lower than the case where the detonation wave directly acts on the structure. It has the advantages of wide applicability, high safety, light weight and low impact.
