DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the specific embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0021] With the continuous progress of aviation technology, the aircraft 2 has been widely used in many fields such as military reconnaissance, geographic mapping, environmental monitoring, disaster relief, etc. Especially in the operation of the near space between 20 to 100 kilometers above sea level, the aircraft 2 has a wider field of view due to its height in the near space, can cover a larger reconnaissance or monitoring range, reduce the blind area and improve the efficiency.

[0022] Some near space aircraft 2 do not have the ability to take off directly from the ground, they usually use the way of transportation by carrier rocket to enter the near space to perform tasks such as weather monitoring, geographic mapping, etc. Since the transportation by carrier rocket is more efficient, it can deliver the aircraft 2 to the designated location in a short time, reducing the flight time and energy consumption of the aircraft 2, thereby improving the timeliness and accuracy of task execution.

[0023] The carrier rocket of the present application comprises a separation trigger mechanism for carrying the aircraft 2 performing tasks to take off and separate from the aircraft 2 when reaching the task location in the near space to realize the delivery of the aircraft 2.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1 , the separation trigger mechanism comprises a rocket cabin body 1, an aircraft 2, two clamps 3 and an explosive bolt 4, the rocket cabin body 1 and the aircraft 2 are provided with connecting bases, and the connecting base of the rocket cabin body 1 abuts against the connecting base of the aircraft 2, the two clamps 3 are oppositely arranged and connected and fixed by the explosive bolt 4, and the connecting base of the rocket cabin body 1 and the connecting base of the aircraft 2 are clamped between the two clamps 3, so as to fix the aircraft 2 on the rocket cabin body 1; when the carrier rocket flies to the task location in the near space, the explosive bolt 4 is detonated and disintegrated, so that the two clamps 3 fall off, to realize the separation of the aircraft 2 from the rocket cabin body 1, and make the aircraft 2 perform tasks.

[0025] As shown in Figure 11 , the clamp 3 comprises a clamping belt 31 and a clamping block 32, the clamping belt 31 is a semicircular structure, and both ends of the clamping belt 31 are provided with connecting parts 301, as shown in Figure 2 , the connecting parts 301 on the two clamping belts 31 correspond one by one and are connected by the explosive bolt 4 to form a circular ring structure, and the clamping block 32 is abuttingly arranged on the clamping belt 31, and the side of the clamping block 32 away from the clamping belt 31 abuts against the connecting base of the rocket cabin body 1 or the connecting base of the aircraft 2, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the rocket cabin body 1 and the aircraft 2.

[0026] In order to ensure the fixed firmness of the clamping block 32 and the connecting bases of the rocket cabin body 1 and the aircraft 2, the clamping block 32 should be a rigid structure, however, the rigid structure of the clamping block 32 will affect the separation efficiency of the clamping block 32 and the connecting bases of the rocket cabin body 1 and the aircraft 2, therefore, as shown inFigure 11 As shown, a plurality of clamping blocks 32 are arranged on each clamping band 31, and the plurality of clamping blocks 32 are arranged at intervals, so that when the explosive bolt 4 is exploded and disintegrated, the plurality of clamping blocks 32 can be quickly scattered, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the spacecraft 2 and the rocket cabin body 1. Of course, in order to ensure the fixing firmness of the rocket cabin body 1 and the spacecraft 2, it is preferred that the clamping band 31 is clamped with at least one of the clamping blocks 32, so as to prevent the clamping band 31 from being separated from the clamping block 32 during normal use.

[0027] The explosive bolt 4 penetrates the connecting portion 301 and abuts against the connecting portion 301. It is preferred that the side of the connecting portion 301 abutting against the nut 43 is inclined to the center line of the screw rod 41, so that the width of the connecting portion 301 gradually increases from the end close to the center of the clamping band 31 to the end away from the center of the clamping band 31. Figure 4 As shown, the right side of the right connecting portion 301 is inclined, and the right side is inclined to the right from top to bottom. When the explosive bolt 4 is locked, the nut 43 abuts against the inclined surface, which not only ensures the tensioning degree of the two connecting portions 301, but also allows the connecting portion 301 to slide away from the connecting base of the rocket cabin body 1 and the spacecraft 2, so that the connecting portion 301 is as far away from the connecting base of the rocket cabin body 1 and the spacecraft 2 as possible, the space between the connecting portion 301 and the connecting base of the rocket cabin body 1 and the spacecraft 2 is enlarged, and the plurality of clamping blocks 32 are more easily scattered when the explosive bolt 4 is disintegrated.

[0028] When the conventional explosive bolt 4 is initiated, strong impact load is generated, and the stability of equipment in the aerospace field is extremely high. Such impact may cause damage to surrounding sensitive equipment and structures. Meanwhile, the explosive bolt 4 is essentially a pyrotechnic device, which is filled with explosives and other flammable and explosive substances. During production, transportation, storage and use, there are certain safety hazards. If improper operation or external factors are affected, an accidental explosion may occur, causing serious harm and loss to personnel and equipment. In addition, after completing a separation operation, the internal explosive of the conventional explosive bolt 4 has exploded, the structure is damaged, and the explosive bolt 4 cannot be used again, which means that a new explosive bolt 4 needs to be replaced each time a separation operation is performed, increasing the use cost. Especially for some systems that need to be separated for multiple times or perform tasks for a long time, frequent replacement of the explosive bolt 4 will bring high economic burden.

[0029] The explosive bolt 4 includes a screw rod 41, a pyrotechnic separation head 42, a nut 43, a sleeve 44 and a wedge-shaped gasket 45, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the screw rod 41 is arranged through the two clamps 3, the pyrotechnic separation head 42 is fixedly arranged at one end of the screw rod 41, the nut 43 is connected at the other end of the screw rod 41 through threaded cooperation, the sleeve 44 is fixedly arranged in the clamp 3 away from the nut 43, the sleeve 44 is sleeved at one end of the screw rod 41, and the sleeve 44 abuts against the pyrotechnic separation head 42, the nut 43 abuts against the clamp 3 away from the pyrotechnic separation head 42, the hardness of the sleeve 44 is much higher than the hardness of the clamps 3 and the screw rod 41 and the like, when the pyrotechnic separation head 42 explodes and disintegrates, the support of the sleeve 44 to the clamp 3 can avoid the deformation of the clamp 3, so that the screw rod 41 can smoothly separate from the clamp 3, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the separation trigger mechanism and ensuring the accuracy of the separation time of the aircraft 2; at the same time, the lubrication groove 401 is preferably arranged in the sleeve 44, the contact area of the sleeve 44 and the screw rod 41 is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the sleeve 44 and the screw rod 41, and further improving the separation efficiency of the screw rod 41 and the sleeve 44.

[0030] The wedge-shaped gasket 45 is arranged between the connecting portion 301 and the nut 43 and is sleeved on the screw rod 41, one side of the wedge-shaped gasket 45 abutting against the connecting portion 301 is in a beveled shape, and the other side abutting against the nut 43 is in a planar shape, which not only can maintain the above technical effects, but also fills the gap between the nut 43 and the connecting portion 301, and is beneficial to ensuring the fastening stability of the explosive bolt 4.

[0031] As shown in Figure 5 , the screw rod 41 is arranged through the two clamps 3, the pyrotechnic separation head 42 is fixedly arranged at one end of the screw rod 41, the nut 43 is connected at the other end of the screw rod 41 through threaded cooperation, the sleeve 44 is fixedly arranged in the clamp 3 away from the nut 43, the sleeve 44 is sleeved at one end of the screw rod 41, and the sleeve 44 abuts against the pyrotechnic separation head 42, the nut 43 abuts against the clamp 3 away from the pyrotechnic separation head 42, the hardness of the sleeve 44 is much higher than the hardness of the clamps 3 and the screw rod 41 and the like, when the pyrotechnic separation head 42 explodes and disintegrates, the support of the sleeve 44 to the clamp 3 can avoid the deformation of the clamp 3, so that the screw rod 41 can smoothly separate from the clamp 3, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the separation trigger mechanism and ensuring the accuracy of the separation time of the aircraft 2; at the same time, the lubrication groove 401 is preferably arranged in the sleeve 44, the contact area of the sleeve 44 and the screw rod 41 is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the sleeve 44 and the screw rod 41, and further improving the separation efficiency of the screw rod 41 and the sleeve 44.

[0032] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in order to improve the resistance of the ball 424 and the cap 421, preferably in the cap 421 also set corresponding ball groove, when the piston 422 resistance ball 424, let the ball 424 resistance in the ball groove; Similarly, also should be set a plurality of ball 424 and a plurality of ball hole 403, and let a plurality of ball 424 and a plurality of ball hole 403 around the center line of the screw 41 circumferential array, so as to keep the cap 421 and the screw 41 connection stability and firmness.

[0033] The cap 421 is fixed through the ignition device, and the ignition device is connected with the ignition control device. The cap 421 is filled with gunpowder on the side away from the spring 423. When the ignition control device controls the ignition device to ignite the gunpowder, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the explosion impact force moves the piston 422 towards the nut 43, so that the piston 422 is not in contact with the ball 424, and the ball 424 is separated from the cap 421. At the same time, the explosion impact force pushes the cap 421 to slide relative to the screw 41, so that the cap 421 is separated from the screw 41, so that the screw 41 can slide out of the sleeve 44 and the clamp 3, so that the two clamps 3 are separated, and the aircraft 2 and the rocket cabin 1 are separated.

[0034] When the amount of gunpowder filled in the cap 421 is large, the cap 421 will be deformed by the impact, causing the cap 421 to be stuck on the outer wall of the screw 41, affecting the separation of the aircraft 2 and the rocket cabin 1. Therefore, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the inner side of the right end of the cap 421 and the outer side of the left end of the sleeve 44 are provided with clamping grooves, so that the end of the cap 421 in contact with the sleeve 44 is located on the outer side of the sleeve 44. When the gunpowder explodes and causes a large impact force on the cap 421, the deformed cap 421 is clamped on the sleeve 44, not on the screw 41, so that the screw 41 can smoothly separate from the sleeve 44 and the clamp 3.

[0035] The explosion bolt 4 of the present application belongs to a separation type explosion bolt. By optimizing the distribution and initiation mode of the explosive, the energy is released more uniformly, reducing the impact on the surrounding equipment and structure. This is crucial for systems sensitive to impact, which can improve the reliability and stability of the equipment. At the same time, after completing a separation action, only simple inspection and maintenance and replacement of some vulnerable parts are needed to put it into use again. This not only greatly reduces the use cost, but also improves the utilization rate of resources, in line with the concept of sustainable development.

[0036] As shown in Figure 8As shown, a plurality of lubrication grooves 401 are provided, and the plurality of lubrication grooves 401 are arranged in a circular array around the center line of the sleeve 44, so that the screw 41 and the sleeve 44 can be in uniform contact, and the sleeve 44 can apply force to the screw 41 evenly, thereby preventing the screw 41 from being deflected due to uneven force when it is separated from the sleeve 44, thereby affecting the separation of the screw 41 and the sleeve 44.

[0037] After the cap 421 is separated from the screw 41, part of the ball 424 may not be separated from the ball hole 403, and the spring 423 will push the piston 422 to resist the ball 424, so that part of the ball 424 protrudes from the side of the screw 41. In order to allow the screw 41 and the ball 424 to be smoothly separated from the sleeve 44 under this working condition, Figure 7 As shown, at least one lubrication groove 401 corresponds to the ball 424, and the distance x between the circumferential side of the piston 422 close to one end of the spring 423 and the inner wall of the lubrication groove 401 corresponding to the ball 424 is not less than the outer diameter of the ball 424; at the same time, the lubrication groove 401 is preferably set to have an arc-shaped cross section to reduce the opening range of the lubrication groove 401 and ensure the structural strength of the sleeve 44.

[0038] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the sleeve 44 includes a tube body 441, a first limiting ring 442 and a second limiting ring 443. The tube body 441 is sleeved on the screw 41 and is abutted against the pyrotechnic separation head 42. An expansion joint 404 is provided on the peripheral side of the tube body 441, and a lubrication groove 401 is provided in the tube body 441 and passes through the tube body 441. The first limiting ring 442 is fixedly set on the tube body 441 and is abutted against the clamp 3 away from the nut 43. The second limiting ring 443 is sleeved on the screw 41 and is abutted against the clamp 3 of the tube body 441 away from the pyrotechnic separation head 42 and close to the nut 43. When the screw 41 is tightened by the nut 43, the first limiting ring 442 and the second limiting ring 443 are abutted against the two clamps 3, so that the two ends of the tube body 441 are squeezed at the same time, and the inside of the tube body 441 bulges outward and abuts against the clamp 3, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the sleeve 44 and the clamp 3.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, in order to allow the middle position of the tube body 441 to protrude in the direction away from the center line of the tube body 441 rather than protrude in the direction close to the center line of the tube body 441, it is preferred to open a corresponding annular groove in the tube body 441; in order to ensure the pressure expansion effect of the tube body 441, it is preferred to set a plurality of expansion joints 404, and let the plurality of expansion joints 404 be arranged in a circular array about the center line of the tube body 441.

[0040] In order to improve the efficiency of the screw 41 being separated from the two clamps 3, the outer diameter of the screw 41 can also be improved so that the outer diameter of the end of the screw 41 away from the nut 43 is smaller than the outer diameter of the end close to the nut 43. Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the cross section of the end of the screw rod 41 away from the nut 43 is circular, and the cross section of the end of the screw rod 41 close to the nut 43 is oblong.

[0041] The second limiting ring 443 is preferably provided with an oblong hole inside so that the inner diameter of the second limiting ring 443 is the same as the outer diameter of the end of the screw 41 close to the nut 43, so that the second limiting ring 443 is slidably arranged on the screw 41 and can be rotatably connected to the end of the screw 41 away from the nut 43. Figure 4 As shown, when assembling the explosive bolt 4, by rotating the second limiting ring 443, the second limiting ring 443 between the two clamps 3 can be pressed against the screw rod 41, thereby making it easier to install the nut 43.

[0042] The wedge-shaped washer 45 also has an oblong hole formed therein, so that the inner diameter of the wedge-shaped washer 45 is the same as the outer diameter of the end of the screw 41 near the nut 43. Figure 10 As described above, the circumferential side of the wedge-shaped gasket 45 abuts against the connecting portion 301, so that the wedge-shaped gasket 45 can limit the screw 41 and prevent the screw 41 from rotating when the nut 43 is tightened. This not only helps to improve the assembly convenience of the explosive bolt 4, but also protects the pyrotechnic separation head 42.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper portion of the wedge-shaped gasket 45 does not abut against the card belt 31 , thereby preventing the wedge-shaped gasket 45 from affecting the deformation of the card belt 31 and preventing the card blocks 32 from falling off.

[0044] The working principles of the composite near-space separation trigger mechanism and carrier rocket of the present invention are as follows: When the carrier rocket brings the aircraft 2 to the mission location in near space, the ignition device is used to ignite the gunpowder in the explosive bolt 4, and the explosive impact force of the gunpowder is used to drive the piston 422 to slide in the direction close to the nut 43, so that the ball 424 does not resist the piston 422, thereby realizing the separation of the piston 422 and the screw 41. Subsequently, the screw 41 will successively detach from the two clamps 3 and the sleeve 44, thereby releasing the fixation of the two clips 31, allowing multiple blocks 32 to scatter, thereby realizing the separation of the aircraft 2 connection base and the rocket cabin 1 connection base; during this period, in order to prevent the scattered blocks 32 and clips 31 from colliding with the aircraft 2, it is preferably provided with tension springs on the blocks 32 and clips 31 to allow the blocks 32 and clips 31 to scatter in a specified direction.

[0045] The composite near-space separation trigger mechanism and launch vehicle of the present invention have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: By setting the sleeve in the explosive bolt, fixing the sleeve in the clamp close to the pyrotechnic separation head, and setting the lubricating groove in the sleeve, not only the impact damage of the clamp caused by the pyrotechnic separation head can be reduced when the pyrotechnic separation head is exploded, but also the separation efficiency of the screw rod and the clamp can be accelerated, so that the accuracy of the separation time of the aircraft and the rocket cabin body is improved; by setting the pyrotechnic separation head to include the cap, the piston, the spring and the ball, the explosive impact force required for the explosive bolt to disintegrate can be reduced, by setting the pyrotechnic separation head at one end of the screw rod and outside the clamp, the damage caused to the aircraft and the rocket cabin body when the explosive bolt disintegrates can be reduced; by setting the clamp to include the clamping belt and a plurality of clamping blocks, when the two clamps are separated, the clamping blocks can be quickly separated from the rocket cabin body and the aircraft, by clamping the clamping belt with at least one of the clamping blocks, the connection firmness of the clamp to the rocket cabin body and the aircraft can be improved.
