[0002] Aerospace structures encompass various scenarios requiring connection, separation, and thrust functions, including separation of spacecraft / rocket, separation of inter-stage structures, and deployment of wing and rudder structures. As the weight of aerospace payloads increases, the demand for structural connection tonnage becomes increasingly urgent; simultaneously, the development and application of commercial aerospace places higher demands on the low cost and reusability of structural mechanisms.

Previously, strong-connection explosive bolts and similar methods were used, but this involved multiple devices working in coordination, complex timing controls for unlocking and pushing actions, a complex system composition, large installation space, heavy weight, low reliability, and issues with the devices having large impact forces and being designed for single-use applications.

[0041] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , the application provides a large-tonnage bearing, low-impact separation, and automatically resettable reusable point connection separation actuation structure. As shown in Figure 2 , the separation actuation structure includes a bolt 1, a base body 2, a pressure ring 3, a nut 4, a first piston cylinder 5, a piston rod 6, a second piston cylinder 7, a housing 8, a spring 9, and a gas generator 12. As shown in Figure 3 , the separation actuation structure is used to achieve the separation actuation of the connected part a and the connected part b.
[0043] The pressure ring 3 is a rotary body structure and is used to achieve connection with the connected part a through a threaded connecting part. The center of the pressure ring 3 has a through hole, one side of which has a stepped hole for positioning and installing the base body 2.
[0044] The base body 2 has a first sink near the connected part b, and a second sink near the connected part b, and the first sink and the second sink are communicated through the center through hole of the base body 2. The housing 8 passes through the through hole of the pressure ring 3 and is arranged in the first sink of the base body 2. The outer periphery of the housing 8 is threadedly matched with the inner side of the first sink of the base body 2 to form a product closed structure. The second sink of the base body 2 is used for positioning and installing the bolt 1. The bolt 1 is a double-headed stud. The first end of the bolt 1 is connected with the connected part b through threads. The stepped portion of the bolt 1 abuts against the bottom of the second sink to achieve pre-tightening force loading.

The lower end surface of the nut 4 is matched with the bottom of the first sink of the base body 2 to form sliding, guiding, and positioning.
[0045] Nut 4 is a split structure with connecting threads inside and supporting ring ribs outside, which can be divided into three or four parts. In addition to nut 4, a first piston cylinder 5 is arranged in the shell 8. As shown in the figure, when the separation actuator structure is in the locked state, the internal threads of the nut 4 are connected with the bolt 1, and the outer circle of the nut 4 is supported and constrained with the inner wall of the first piston cylinder 5. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the separation actuator structure is in the unlocked state, the nut 4 is disconnected from the threaded connection with the bolt 1, and the outer circle of the nut 4 is disengaged from the support and cooperation with the inner wall of the first piston cylinder 5. Figure 4
[0046] Among them, the inner side of the first piston cylinder 5 has a first piston ring rib, a second piston ring rib and a third piston ring rib along the axial direction. The outer periphery of the nut 4 has a first nut ring rib and a second nut ring rib along the axial direction. The first piston cylinder 5 realizes the constraint of the nut 4 through the first piston ring rib and the second piston ring rib, and the first piston ring rib and the second piston ring rib are positioned by the end face through the inner diameter and the third piston ring rib above, while the third piston ring rib realizes the movement guide and in-place braking of the piston rod 6.
[0047] As shown in the figure, when the separation actuator structure is in the locked state, the first piston ring rib of the first piston cylinder 5 supports and constrains the first nut ring rib of the nut 4, and the second piston ring rib of the first piston cylinder 5 supports and constrains the second nut ring rib of the nut 4. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the separation actuator structure is in the unlocked state, the first piston ring rib of the first piston cylinder 5 is disengaged from the first nut ring rib of the nut 4 and falls into the space between the first nut ring rib and the second nut ring rib of the nut 4; the second nut ring rib of the nut 4 is disengaged from the second piston ring rib of the first piston cylinder 5 and falls into the space between the first piston ring rib and the second piston ring rib of the first piston cylinder 5.
[0048] Figure 4 In addition to the nut 4 and the first piston cylinder 5, the shell 8 is also provided with a piston rod 6, a second piston cylinder 7 and a spring 9. The second piston cylinder 7 is a rotary body structure. The first end of the second piston cylinder 7 is threadedly connected with the first piston cylinder 5. The shell 8 protrudes inwardly at the end away from the bolt 1 to form a mounting portion, the spring 9 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting portion of the shell 8 and abuts against the end face of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7. The spring 9 can provide support for the installation and positioning of the second piston cylinder 7. The center of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7 has a through hole, the mounting portion of the shell 8 is inserted into the center through hole of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7, and the sealing connection is realized through a sealing ring 13.
[0049] In addition to the nut 4 and the first piston cylinder 5, the shell 8 is also provided with a piston rod 6, a second piston cylinder 7 and a spring 9. The second piston cylinder 7 is a rotary body structure. The first end of the second piston cylinder 7 is threadedly connected with the first piston cylinder 5. The shell 8 protrudes inwardly at the end away from the bolt 1 to form a mounting portion, the spring 9 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting portion of the shell 8 and abuts against the end face of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7. The spring 9 can provide support for the installation and positioning of the second piston cylinder 7. The center of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7 has a through hole, the mounting portion of the shell 8 is inserted into the center through hole of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7, and the sealing connection is realized through a sealing ring 13.
[0050] The piston rod 6 is arranged in the second piston cylinder 7. The housing 8 has a through hole at the end away from the bolt 1. The piston rod 6 has a gas containing cavity facing the mounting portion of the housing 8. The gas generator 12 is fixed at the end of the housing 8 away from the bolt 1 by screwing, and is used to blow gas to the gas containing cavity of the piston rod 6 through the through hole of the mounting portion. The pyrotechnic gas generated by the gas generator 12 serves as the power source of the structure. The housing 8 and the gas generator 12 are end face sealed by the sealing ring 13. The outer periphery of the piston rod 6 is sealingly connected with the inner wall of the second piston cylinder 7 by the sealing ring 13. The opening size of the gas containing cavity of the piston rod 6 is greater than the hole diameter of the central through hole of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7.
[0051] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in the locked state of the separation actuation structure, the first end of the piston rod 6 abuts against the second end of the bolt 1, and the second end of the piston rod 6 abuts against the inner end face of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7. The gas output by the gas generator 12 enters the gas containing cavity of the piston rod 6 through the through hole of the mounting portion of the housing 8. Since the axial position of the piston rod 6 is still constrained by the bolt 1, the thrust of the gas acts on the inner end face of the second end of the second piston cylinder 7. The spring 9 is compressed under the action of the gas, and the second piston cylinder 7 pulls the first piston cylinder 5 away from the bolt 1 to release the support constraint of the first piston cylinder 5 on the nut 4, thereby unlocking the separation actuation structure. That is, the gas generator 12 releases the constraint on the nut 4 by moving the position of the first piston cylinder 5, thereby releasing the bolt 1.
[0052] As shown in Figure 5 , in the unlocked state of the separation actuation structure, the piston rod 6 can move relative to the second piston cylinder 7 under the action of the gas generator 12, and at the same time, the piston rod 6 can push the bolt 1 under the action of the gas generator 12, thereby separating the connected member a and the connected member b.
[0053] The side wall of the second piston cylinder 7 has a pressure relief hole, and the position of the pressure relief hole is located at the end of the stroke of the piston rod 6, that is, when the movement of the piston rod 6 in the second piston cylinder 7 is about to end, the piston rod 6 can pass through the pressure relief hole, so that the gas in the gas containing cavity of the piston rod 6 begins to be relieved through the pressure relief hole, as shown in Figure 6 When the pressure in the sealed cavity composed of the piston rod 6, the second piston cylinder 7 and the housing 8 is less than the elastic force of the spring 9, the spring 9 serves as a power source for automatic reset, and the second piston cylinder 7 pushes the first piston cylinder 5 to reset under the action of the spring 9. By using the matching chamfer structure between the first piston ring rib and the second piston ring rib of the first piston cylinder 5 and the first nut ring rib and the second nut ring rib of the nut 4, the first piston cylinder 5 is reset and constrained on the nut 4 again, and the automatic reset function of the structure is realized.
[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the outer structure of the base 2 is a conical structure, which achieves shear resistance and positioning to prevent misalignment with the connected part a through the cylindrical and conical parts.
[0055] In some embodiments, the separation actuation structure further includes a shock-absorbing ring 10. The shock-absorbing ring 10 is installed between the housing 8 and the second piston cylinder 7. It is made of rubber energy-absorbing damping material and serves to reduce shock and impact when the second piston cylinder 7 impacts the housing 8 under the action of the gas generator 12.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the separation actuation structure also includes a pressure-isolating mesh 11. The pressure-isolating mesh 11 is installed on the housing 8, located at the front end of the gas outlet of the gas generator 12. The pressure-isolating mesh 11 uses green honeycomb shock-absorbing material, serving to isolate and filter the high-pressure gas. Specifically, the pressure isolation reduces the impact vibration of the explosion shock generated by the operation of the gas generator 12 on the external structure through the piston rod 6 and bolt 1; the filtration prevents large particles of gunpowder residue generated by the operation of the gas generator 12 from entering the mechanism, improving the reliability of the piston mechanism for repeated use.
[0057] In summary, the working principle of the separation actuation structure provided by this invention is as follows: the gas generated by the gas generator 12 installed in the housing 8 is pressure-isolated and filtered by the pressure-isolation mesh 11, and then enters the sealed cavity formed by the piston rod 6, the second piston cylinder 7, and the housing 8. The gas drives the second piston cylinder 7 and the first piston cylinder 5 to move upward to the shock-absorbing ring 10. After the shock-absorbing ring 10 dampens and reduces impact, it moves the stepped end face of the housing 8. At this time, the first piston cylinder 5 releases the constraint on the nut 4, realizing the separation function of the structure. The nut 4 releases the radial constraint on the bolt 1 under the combined action of the preload of the bolt 1 and the sliding surface of the base 2.
[0058] Then, the gas-driven piston rod 6 continues to move downwards, pushing the bolt 1 to push the connected part b, thus realizing the structure's pushing and impacting function. When the piston rod 6 moves above the first piston cylinder 5 and is stopped by the third piston ring rib, the gas is depressurized through the pressure relief hole of the second piston cylinder 7.
[0059] When the pressure inside the sealed cavity formed by piston rod 6, second piston cylinder 7, and housing 8 is less than the elastic force of spring 9, first piston cylinder 5 and second piston cylinder 7 return to their original position under the action of spring 9. During the movement, the chamfered structure matching the inner ring rib of first piston cylinder 5 and the external environment of nut 4, as well as the limiting position of the end face of upper ring rib of first piston cylinder 5 and inner diameter of piston rod 6, re-realize the reset and constraint of nut 4 on first piston cylinder 5, thus realizing the automatic reset function of the structure. The installation and verification principle of this structure is mainly achieved through the connection of two connected parts. One end is connected by fasteners through pressure ring 3, and the other end is connected by the thread of bolt 1. At the same time, the tapered angle of the base 2 realizes the positioning and shear resistance of the two connected parts.
[0060] The principle of the structure equivalent simulation test verification is as follows: one of the connected members is equivalent to a translational trolley in the structure equivalent simulation test verification, the other connected member is fixed, and the connecting and pushing function structure of the application is used to push the trolley, and the function and performance of the equivalent translational trolley are verified according to the measured speed. The design of the equivalent translational trolley needs to be combined with the mass, center of mass, modulus, translational resistance or rotational radius of the connected member for comprehensive design. Through the equivalent simulation test verification platform shown in the figure, the structure performance is verified to meet the system use requirements. Figure 9 The principle of the structure equivalent simulation test verification is as follows: one of the connected members is equivalent to a translational trolley in the structure equivalent simulation test verification, the other connected member is fixed, and the connecting and pushing function structure of the application is used to push the trolley, and the function and performance of the equivalent translational trolley are verified according to the measured speed. The design of the equivalent translational trolley needs to be combined with the mass, center of mass, modulus, translational resistance or rotational radius of the connected member for comprehensive design. Through the equivalent simulation test verification platform shown in the figure, the structure performance is verified to meet the system use requirements.
