AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the tail fin of a traditional lateral folding stabilizing device is inserted into the slot, it will generate a large axial impact on the projectile, resulting in significant disturbance during the rocket's flight phase after exiting the muzzle.

Method used

Using torsion bars and compression springs as power sources, the tail fin is deployed by rotation, avoiding axial movement. The tail fin is locked in place by a limiting structure of sliders and fixed bases, ensuring no axial impact during deployment.

Benefits of technology

This greatly reduces the disturbance caused by tail fin deployment during the rocket's ejection phase from the muzzle, thus improving flight stability.

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-disturbance laterally-folded empennage stabilizing device which comprises an empennage frame, an empennage, a fixing seat fixed to the outer wall of the empennage frame, a supporting lug fixed to the bottom of the empennage, a torsion rod used for being rotationally connected with the empennage frame and the empennage, and a compression spring used for driving the empennage to axially move relative to the empennage frame. The sliding block is used for locking the empennage; the empennage overturns around the axis of the torsion bar under the action of the torsion bar; the turning angle of the empennage is limited through an angle limiting convex block of the fixed seat; when the empennage is in a folded state, the sliding block slides into the sliding block receding notch of the fixing base and compresses the compression spring. When the empennage is in an unfolded state, the compressed spring pushes the sliding block to slide into the right end of the supporting lug, and the unfolded state of the empennage is locked. According to the lateral folding empennage stabilizing device, the disturbance effect of empennage unfolding on the flying stage that a rocket pops out of a muzzle is reduced.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of stabilization device technology, specifically relating to a low-disturbance lateral folding tail fin stabilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Rockets rely on the tail fins of their stabilizing device to generate lift, shifting the center of pressure to the center of mass and creating a stabilizing torque to ensure stable flight. Foldable stabilizing devices reduce the projectile's diameter, resulting in a more compact structure for the projectile and launcher. Currently, traditional lateral folding stabilizing devices typically consist of tail fins, a tail fin mount, a pivot, and a compression-torsion spring. Their operating mechanism is as follows: the compression-torsion spring acts as the sole power source, causing the tail fins to rotate around the pivot while simultaneously moving axially, ultimately securing themselves to the tail fin mount via a wedge-shaped fit.

[0003] Traditional lateral folding stabilization devices have problems: the tail fins need to rotate and move axially, and when the tail fins are in place, they will cause a large axial impact on the projectile, which will cause significant disturbance to the rocket during the flight phase after it leaves the muzzle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that when the tail fin of a traditional lateral folding stabilizing device is inserted into the slot, it will cause a large axial impact on the projectile body and cause significant disturbance during the rocket's flight phase after exiting the gun muzzle. Therefore, this invention provides a low-disturbance lateral folding tail fin stabilizing device.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] The present invention provides a low-disturbance lateral folding tail fin stabilization device, comprising a tail fin frame, a tail fin, a fixing seat fixed to the outer wall of the tail fin frame, a support lug fixed to the bottom of the tail fin, a torsion bar for rotatably connecting the tail fin frame and the tail fin, a compression spring for driving the tail fin to move axially relative to the tail fin frame, and a slider for locking the tail fin.

[0007] The fixed seat has a torsion bar connection hole axially opened in the middle part, a spring mounting cavity is provided at the left end of the inner cavity of the fixed seat, a slider clearance notch is axially opened inward along the upper outer edge of the left port of the fixed seat, and an angle limiting protrusion extending outward along the lower outer edge of the left port of the fixed seat.

[0008] The middle part of the support lug has an axially opened torsion bar connection hole, and the right end of the support lug is provided with a positioning protrusion extending outward in an axial direction.

[0009] The middle part of the slider is a connecting cylinder whose inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the torsion bar, and the outer wall of the slider is provided with a locking protrusion whose shape matches the inner shape of the slider clearance notch of the fixed seat.

[0010] The two ends of the torsion bar are respectively installed in the torsion bar connecting holes of the support lug and the fixed seat, so that the tail wing flips around the axis of the torsion bar under the action of the torsion bar; the positioning protrusion of the support lug and the angle limiting protrusion of the fixed seat are located in the same radial plane, and the tail wing's flipping angle is limited by the angle limiting protrusion of the fixed seat; a compression spring is installed in the compression spring mounting cavity of the fixed seat, and the slider is sleeved on the torsion bar; when the tail wing is in the closed state, the locking protrusion of the slider slides into the slider clearance notch of the fixed seat and compresses the compression spring; when the tail wing is in the deployed state, the compression spring pushes the left end of the slider locking protrusion into the gap between the positioning protrusion of the support lug and the angle limiting protrusion of the fixed seat to lock the deployed state of the tail wing.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] The lateral folding tail fin stabilizing device of the present invention uses a torsion bar and a compression spring as the power source for tail fin deployment. Tail fin deployment only requires rotation, avoiding axial impact of the tail fin on the projectile body and greatly reducing the disturbance effect of tail fin deployment on the rocket's flight phase after exiting the muzzle.
