[0065] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0066] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a multi-engine parallel engine frame structure for a launch vehicle, comprising:
[0067] Connecting ring frame 1 between the upper and lower sections of the launch vehicle;
[0068] The first force transmission frame 2 is connected to the connecting ring frame 1, and the center of gravity of the first force transmission frame 2 is located on the axis of the connecting ring frame 1;
[0069] First engine mounting base 51, first engine mounting base 51 is coaxially arranged with connecting ring frame 1, first engine mounting base 51 is connected to first force transmission frame 2 so as to transmit the thrust of the first engine to connecting ring frame 1 through first force transmission frame 2;
[0070] Multiple second force transmission frames 3 are connected to the connecting ring frame 1 and the first force transmission frame 2. The multiple second force transmission frames 3 are evenly distributed around the axis of the connecting ring frame 1.
[0071] Multiple second engine mounting bases 52 are connected to multiple second force transmission frames 3 respectively, so as to transmit the thrust of multiple second engines to the connecting ring frame 1 through multiple second force transmission frames 3 and first force transmission frame 2;
[0072] Multiple second engine mounting bases 52 and first engine mounting bases 51 are coplanar.
[0073] In this embodiment, the first engine is mounted on the first engine mounting base 51, and the thrust of the first engine is transmitted to the connecting ring frame 1 through the first engine mounting base 51 and the first force transmission frame 2.
[0074] Multiple second engines are mounted on multiple second engine mounting bases 52. The thrust of the multiple second engines is transmitted to the first force transmission frame 2 and the connecting ring frame 1 through the multiple second engine mounting bases 52 and multiple second force transmission frames 3 respectively. The thrust received by the first force transmission frame 2 is also transmitted to the connecting ring frame 1.
[0075] The thrust of the first engine and multiple second engines is ultimately transmitted to the connecting ring frame 1, and then to the upper section of the launch vehicle. The propellant tank is not subjected to stress, so there is no need to strengthen the propellant tank design. This ensures the thrust effect of the multiple engines of the launch vehicle and helps to improve the launch vehicle's carrying capacity.
[0076] In practical applications, the number of second force transmission frames 3 is even. Multiple second force transmission frames 3 are evenly distributed around the axis of the connecting ring frame 1, which can ensure that the paired second engine mounting seats 52 are located in the same radial direction of the connecting ring frame 1, so that the connecting ring frame 1 is subjected to uniform force and ensures the thrust effect on the launch vehicle.
[0077] In this embodiment, six of each of the second engine mounting base 52 and the second force transmission frame 3 are provided.
[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the connecting ring frame 1 includes:
[0079] Connecting ring cylinder 11;
[0080] The upper connecting ring plate 12 is connected to the upper outer edge of the connecting ring cylinder 11, and the surface of the upper connecting ring plate 12 is uniformly provided with upper connecting holes 13;
[0081] The lower connecting ring plate 15 is connected to the lower outer edge of the connecting ring cylinder 11, and the bottom surface of the lower connecting ring plate 15 is evenly provided with lower connecting holes 16;
[0082] The upper connecting ring plate 12, the connecting ring cylinder 11 and the lower connecting ring plate 15 form a horizontal U-shaped structure, and the open end of the horizontal U-shaped structure is far away from the axis of the connecting ring cylinder 11;
[0083] The reinforcing rib plate 14 is connected to the upper connecting ring plate 12, the connecting ring cylinder 11 and the lower connecting ring plate 15. The reinforcing rib plate 14 is located within the horizontal U-shaped structure.
[0084] In this embodiment, a U-shaped structure is formed by connecting ring cylinder 11, upper connecting ring plate 12 and lower connecting ring plate 15, and reinforcing rib plate 14 is provided in the U-shaped structure. While ensuring the overall strength of the connecting ring frame 1, it helps to reduce the weight of the connecting ring frame 1 and helps to improve the thrust effect of multiple engines.
[0085] The upper connecting ring plate 12 can be connected to the upper section of the launch vehicle through the upper connecting hole 13, and the lower connecting ring plate 15 can be connected to the lower section of the launch vehicle through the lower connecting hole 16, thereby realizing the connection of the connecting ring frame 1 to the upper and lower sections of the launch vehicle.
[0086] The connecting ring cylinder 11, the upper connecting ring plate 12, the lower connecting ring plate 15, and the reinforcing rib plate 14 are all welded together, which can further improve the overall strength of the connecting ring frame 1.
[0087] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first force transmission frame 2 includes:
[0088] The load-bearing cylinder 22 is located below the connecting ring cylinder 11 and is coaxially arranged with the connecting ring cylinder 11. The first engine mounting base 51 is connected to the bottom surface of the load-bearing cylinder 22.
[0089] Multiple force transmission beams 21 are inclined, with the first end of each beam connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring cylinder 11 and the second end connected to the outer wall of the load-bearing cylinder 22.
[0090] In this embodiment, a first force transmission frame 2 is formed by multiple force transmission beams 21 and a force-bearing cylinder 22. The thrust of the first engine is transmitted to the force-bearing cylinder 22 through the first engine mounting base 51, and then to the connecting ring frame 1 through multiple force transmission beams 21.
[0091] In this embodiment, the load-bearing cylinder 22 adopts a conical cylinder structure, which facilitates the welding connection between the multiple force transmission beams 21 and the load-bearing cylinder 22, and at the same time helps to improve the force transmission effect between the load-bearing cylinder 22 and the multiple force transmission beams 21.
[0092] In this embodiment, there are six force transmission beams 21, which can ensure that the thrust transmitted by the force transmission beams 21 to the connecting ring frame 1 is evenly distributed, ensure that the connecting ring frame 1 is subjected to uniform force, and ensure the thrust effect on the launch vehicle.
[0093] In this embodiment, the inclination angle between the force transmission beam 21 and the horizontal plane is 25°-30°, which can ensure the force transmission effect of the force transmission beam 21.
[0094] In this embodiment, the force transmission beam 21 adopts a variable cross-section structure. From the connecting ring cylinder 11 to the load-bearing cylinder 22, the cross-section of the force transmission beam 21 gradually increases, which can ensure the connection strength between the force transmission beam 21 and the load-bearing cylinder 22, thereby improving the force transmission effect between the load-bearing cylinder 22 and the force transmission beam 21.
[0095] like Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first force transmission frame 2 further includes:
[0096] Multiple reinforcing plates 17 are formed on the inner wall of the connecting ring cylinder 11. The multiple reinforcing plates 17 are flush with the upper connecting ring plate 12. The multiple reinforcing plates 17 correspond one-to-one with and are connected to multiple force transmission beams 21. Through holes are uniformly provided on the surface of the multiple reinforcing plates 17.
[0097] In this embodiment, by setting multiple reinforcing plates 17, the strength of the connection between the force transmission beam 21 and the connecting ring cylinder 11 can be improved, ensuring that the force transmission beam 21 can accurately transmit the thrust of the transmitter to the connecting ring frame 1.
[0098] like Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, a horizontally extending rigid tube 23 is connected between two adjacent force transmission beams 21.
[0099] In this embodiment, by welding and connecting a horizontally extending rigid tube 23 between two adjacent force transmission beams 21, the overall strength of the first force transmission frame 2 can be further improved, ensuring the force transmission effect of the first force transmission frame 2.
[0100] like Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, each of the multiple force-transmitting beams 21 includes:
[0101] Web plate 211;
[0102] Upper flange 212 connected to web 211;
[0103] The lower flange 213 is connected to the web 211. The lower flange 213 and the upper flange 212 form an angle with the lower flange being larger than the upper flange. The upper flange 212, the web 211 and the lower flange 213 form a variable cross-section I-shaped structure.
[0104] Connecting stiffener 214 is connected to the upper flange 212, web 211 and lower flange 213.
[0105] In this embodiment, the upper wing plate 212, the web plate 211 and the lower wing plate 213 are welded together to form a variable cross-section I-shaped structure, which can ensure the overall strength of the force transmission beam 21, reduce the weight of the force transmission beam 21, and help improve the thrust effect of the engine on the launch vehicle; at the same time, the connecting stiffener plate 214 is welded to the inner cavity of the variable cross-section I-shaped structure, which can further improve the overall strength of the force transmission beam 21.
[0106] In this embodiment, the lower flange 213 and the upper flange 212 form an angle with the lower flange being larger than the upper flange. That is, from the connecting ring cylinder 11 to the load-bearing cylinder 22, the angle formed by the lower flange 213 and the upper flange 212 gradually increases, thereby forming a variable cross-section I-shaped structure with the upper flange 212, the web 211 and the lower flange 213. This helps to improve the overall strength of the force transmission beam 21, thereby improving the force transmission effect between the load-bearing cylinder 22 and the force transmission beam 21.
[0107] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, each of the plurality of second force transmission frames 3 includes:
[0108] The load-bearing component 31 is connected to the second engine mounting base 52 and corresponds to the force transmission beam 21.
[0109] The force transmission frame tube 33 is connected between the load-bearing member 31 and the force transmission beam 21, and the axis of the force transmission frame tube 33 is coplanar with the axis of the force transmission beam 21.
[0110] Two ring-frame force transmission pipes 32 are connected between the load-bearing component 31 and the inner wall of the connecting ring cylinder 11. The two ring-frame force transmission pipes 32 are symmetrically distributed with reference to the coplanarity formed by the axis of the force transmission frame pipe 33 and the axis of the force transmission beam 21.
[0111] In this embodiment, the connection between the load-bearing component 31 and the connecting ring cylinder 11 and the transmission of thrust are achieved through two ring frame force transmission pipes 32, so that the thrust of the second engine is transmitted to the connecting ring cylinder 11; the connection between the load-bearing component 31 and the force transmission beam 21 and the transmission of thrust are achieved through the force transmission frame pipe 33, so that the thrust of the second engine is transmitted to the force transmission beam 21.
[0112] The load-bearing component 31 adopts a hollow hemispherical structure to ensure the welding connection strength between the load-bearing component 31 and the force transmission frame tube 33 and the two ring frame force transmission tubes 32, while reducing the overall weight of the second force transmission frame 3 and ensuring the thrust effect on the launch vehicle.
[0113] The axis of the force transmission frame tube 33 is coplanar with the axis of the force transmission beam 21, which can ensure the force transmission effect of the force transmission frame tube 33 and the force transmission beam 21. The included angle between the axis of the force transmission frame tube 33 and the axis of the load-bearing member 31 is 30°-35°, which can ensure the force transmission effect between the load-bearing member 31, the force transmission frame tube 33 and the force transmission beam 21.
[0114] The two ring-frame force transmission tubes 32 are symmetrically distributed with the coplanarity formed by the axis of the force transmission frame tube 33 and the axis of the force transmission beam 21 as the reference. The included angle between the axes of the two ring-frame force transmission tubes 32 is 30°-35°, and the included angle between the axis of the ring-frame force transmission tube 32 and the axis of the load-bearing member 31 is 22°-27°, which can ensure the force transmission effect between the load-bearing member 31, the ring-frame force transmission tubes 32 and the connecting ring cylinder 11.
[0115] The second force transmission frame 3 is formed by two ring frame force transmission tubes 32, force transmission frame tube 33 and load-bearing component 31. While ensuring the overall strength of the second force transmission frame 3, it can work with the second engine mounting seat 52 to accurately transfer the thrust of the second engine to the first force transmission frame 2 and the connecting ring cylinder 11.
[0116] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the multi-engine parallel engine frame structure of the launch vehicle further includes:
[0117] Multiple rigid frames 6 are connected between two adjacent second force transmission frames 3, and the multiple rigid frames 6 are connected to two adjacent force transmission beams 21 respectively.
[0118] Multiple rigid frames 6 all include:
[0119] A load-bearing ball 61 located between two adjacent second force transmission frames 3;
[0120] Two first rigid tension tubes 62, the first ends of which are connected to the load-bearing ball 61, and the second ends of which are connected to two adjacent load-bearing members 31 respectively;
[0121] Two second rigid tension tubes 63, the first end of which is connected to the load-bearing ball 61, and the second end of which is connected to the two adjacent force transmission beams 21 respectively.
[0122] In this embodiment, by connecting a rigid frame 6 between two adjacent second force transmission frames 3 and between two adjacent force transmission beams 21, the overall strength of the second force transmission frames 3 and force transmission beams 21 can be improved, ensuring the force transmission effect of the second force transmission frames 3 and force transmission beams 21.
[0123] The first rigid pull tube 62 and the second rigid pull tube 63 are coaxially arranged, that is, the two first rigid pull tubes 62 and the two second rigid pull tubes 63 form an X-shaped structure, which can ensure the overall strength of the rigid frame 6, thereby improving the overall strength of the second force transmission frame 3 and the force transmission beam 21, and ensuring the force transmission effect of the second force transmission frame 3 and the force transmission beam 21; the angle between the axis of the first rigid pull tube 62 and the axis of the load-bearing member 31 is 55°-60°, which ensures the connection stability of the rigid frame 6 with the load-bearing ball 61 and the force transmission beam 21, and ensures the overall strength.

[0132] In this embodiment, the second servo actuator mounting bracket 4 facilitates the installation of the second servo actuator. The second servo actuator enables the nozzle of the second engine to swing, thereby changing the direction of the jet flow and achieving attitude control such as pitch, yaw, and roll of the rocket body.
[0133] The second servo actuator mounting component 41 is connected to the ring frame force transmission tube 32, the force-bearing ball 61, the connecting ring cylinder 11, and the force transmission beam 21 by the engine base pull tube 42, the force transmission ball pull tube 44, the ring frame pull tube 45, and the force transmission frame pull tube 43, respectively, to ensure the stability of the second servo actuator mounting component 41.
