Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ground installation and testing technology for aerospace separation mechanisms, and specifically relates to an automated device for loading, installing and measuring the preload of rigid tape separation mechanisms. This device can realize functions such as automatic installation of rigid tape separation mechanisms, loading of preload, strain and temperature measurement, and force sensor monitoring. It has the advantages of uniform preload application, high precision in process parameter control, good consistency in the installation process, and simple operation, and solves the problems of automatic installation and precise control of preload of rigid tape separation mechanisms. Background Technology

[0002] The rigid strap separation mechanism is a new generation of linear separation mechanism used for the separation of large payloads from launch vehicles. It features a large diameter, high load-bearing capacity, and low impact. To ensure the uniformity of the rigid strap preload, a method is adopted for loading and installation where the strap expands when heated and then contracts when cooled to generate preload.

[0003] During installation, it is necessary to strictly control installation parameters such as belt temperature rise, clamping time, and tightening torque, and to measure the temperature, strain, and force sensor data of the belt. Strict installation process control is required to ensure the accuracy and consistency of belt preload.

[0004] To simplify installation operations, improve installation efficiency, and ensure consistency in the installation process, there is an urgent need to develop ground installation measurement equipment with automatic heating, automatic installation, and real-time parameter measurement capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the inventors conducted intensive research and provided an automated device for loading, installing, and measuring the preload of a rigid strap separation mechanism. This automated device has functions such as controlling heating temperature rise, pushing the strap body, tightening the nut, and data detection. The highly integrated device achieves automated loading of the rigid strap preload, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the rigid strap preload control and improving installation efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:

[0007] Firstly, an automated device for loading, installing, and measuring the preload of a rigid tape separation mechanism is provided. The rigid tape separation mechanism includes an upper frame, a lower frame, a tape body, a capture bracket, an unlocking assembly, a force-measuring washer, and a tightening nut. The upper and lower frames are axially connected. The tape body is a single-opening metal ring structure, with a diameter larger than the outer diameters of the upper and lower frames in its free state. The opening of the tape body has two end structures for connection, each with a connection hole. The unlocking assembly is located at the opening of the tape body, with screws on its left and right sides. The screws pass through the connection holes of the end structures of the tape body and are tightened by the tightening nut to clamp the tape body, achieving axial connection between the upper and lower frames. A force-measuring washer is placed inside the tightening nut to measure the preload of the tape body. Several capture brackets are evenly distributed on the lower frame for mounting the bracket I for connection, fixation, and capture of the tape body after unlocking.

[0008] The automated equipment includes a belt pushing unit, a nut tightening unit, an end pushing unit, a support mechanism, a heating belt, a belt positioning fixture, and a control system.

[0009] The belt pushing unit is installed on the capture bracket to support the belt. After the belt is heated and elongated in the circumferential direction, it pushes the belt radially so that the elongated belt is tightly attached to the upper and lower frames.

[0010] The nut tightening unit and the end push unit are installed on the lower end frame. After the screws on both sides of the unlocking component pass through the connection holes of the belt end structure, the nut tightening unit automatically tightens the nuts.

[0011] After the main structure of the belt body is tightly attached to the upper and lower frames, the end structure of the pusher belt body is tightly attached to the upper and lower frames.

[0012] The support mechanism provides elastic support to the nut tightening unit to resist the bending moment generated when tightening the nut.

[0013] The heating band is wrapped around the outer cylindrical surface of the belt body, and the belt body is heated and elongated in the circumferential direction.

[0014] The belt positioning fixture clamps the belt body at the left and right symmetrical planes to perform circumferential positioning of the belt body and prevent circumferential movement of the belt body during installation.

[0015] The control system is connected to all electrical components via cables, controls the operation of the electrical components, and measures the belt temperature, tightening torque during the tightening of the nut, and the preload on the belt.

[0016] Secondly, a method for loading, installing, and measuring the preload of a rigid strap separation mechanism includes:

[0017] The upper and lower frames are axially connected and the unlocking components are installed. The belt pusher unit supports the belt to the set height.

[0018] The belt is circumferentially positioned by clamping the belt body at the symmetrical plane position using a belt body positioning fixture;

[0019] The heating belt is heated by the control system and the actual temperature of the belt is fed back by the temperature sensor. The belt stretches in the circumferential direction when heated.

[0020] Once the actual temperature of the belt reaches the target value, the control system controls multiple belt pushing units to push the belt sequentially from the belt positioning point to both sides.

[0021] After all the belt pushing units have finished pushing, the end pushing unit pushes the belt end to fit tightly against the upper and lower frames under the automatic control of the control system.

[0022] After the screws on both sides of the unlocking component pass through the connection holes of the belt end structure, the nut tightening unit automatically tightens the nuts; after tightening, the belt body is clamped, and the belt body pushing unit, nut tightening unit and end pushing unit reset and disengage from the belt body;

[0023] The tape body cools and shrinks, generating annular pre-tightening force. The automated equipment is then removed, and the pre-tightening force of the rigid tape separation mechanism is applied.

[0024] An automated device for loading, installing, and measuring the preload of a rigid strap separation mechanism, provided by the present invention, has the following advantages:

[0025] (1) The belt body is tightened after being heated and then shrinks after cooling to generate pre-tightening force for loading and installation, which effectively improves the uniformity of the belt body pre-tightening force and can achieve reliable loading of large pre-tightening force; the heating belt is wrapped for heating, which can achieve uniform heating of large-scale belt body and precise control of temperature rise.

[0026] (2) The use of multiple belt pushing units arranged in a ring direction to push the belt can ensure that the belt is tightly attached to the end frame, which facilitates the quick tightening of the belt end.

[0027] (3) By adding a belt positioning fixture to the symmetrical plane of the belt, the belt is positioned in a circumferential direction, ensuring the positional accuracy of the belt after it is tightened.

[0028] (4) Through automated control programs, the process parameters such as belt body temperature rise, nut tightening torque, and installation time are ensured to have high consistency during installation, and the final preload generated by the belt body is ensured to have high accuracy and consistency.

[0039] The features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer and more apparent from the following detailed description.

[0040] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an automated device for loading, installing and measuring the preload of a rigid strap separation mechanism, including a strap pushing unit 1, a nut tightening unit 2, an end pushing unit 3, a support mechanism 4, a heating belt 5, a strap positioning clamp 6 and a control system 7.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the rigid strap separation mechanism includes an upper frame 0-1, a lower frame 0-2, a strap body 0-3, a capture bracket 0-4, an unlocking assembly 0-5, a force-measuring washer 0-6, and a tightening nut 0-7. Figure 3As shown, the upper frame 0-1 and lower frame 0-2 are axially connected. A raised structure is designed on the outer wall of the mating surface of the upper frame 0-1 and lower frame 0-2 to engage with a V-groove on the inner wall of the belt body 0-3. The belt body 0-3 is a single-opening metal ring structure. Its diameter in its free state is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the upper frame 0-1 and lower frame 0-2. The opening of the belt body 0-3 has two end structures for connection, each with a connecting hole. The unlocking component 0-5 is located at the opening of the belt body 0-3, with screws on its left and right sides. The screws pass through the connecting holes of the end structures of the belt body 0-3 and are tightened by the tightening nut 0-7, thus clamping the belt body 0-3 and achieving the axial connection between the upper frame 0-1 and lower frame 0-2. A force-measuring washer 0-6 is placed inside the tightening nut 0-7 to measure the preload of the belt body 0-3. The force-measuring washer 0-6 is connected to the control system 7 via a cable for preload measurement. During unlocking, unlocking component 0-5 operates, allowing the screws on both sides to be freely pulled out, thus unlocking the belt body 0-3. Several capture brackets 0-4 are evenly distributed on the lower frame 0-2, used for mounting bracket I1-4 for connection and fixation, and for capturing the belt body 0-3 after unlocking.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the belt pushing unit 1 includes a housing I1-1, a cylinder I1-2, a roller I1-3, a mounting bracket I1-4, a slider 1-5, and a bracket 1-6. The housing I1-1 provides an installation interface. The mounting bracket I1-4 is connected to the housing I1-1. The belt pushing unit 1 is connected to the capture bracket 0-4 of the rigid belt separation mechanism via the mounting bracket I1-4. The cylinder I1-2 is connected to the housing I1-1. The push rod of the cylinder I1-2 is connected to the roller I1-3. The roller I1-3's rotation axis is perpendicular to the push rod's pushing direction, used to push the belt 0-3. During the pushing process, the cylinder I1-2 of the pushing unit 1 extends and pushes the belt 0-3 radially, pressing it against the upper frame 0-1 and the lower frame 0-2. The roller I1-3 provides circumferential rolling freedom, allowing the belt 0-3 to slide circumferentially during the pushing process. The bracket 1-6 is connected to the box body I1-1, and the bracket 1-6 can be adjusted in the vertical direction. The bracket is equipped with a slider 1-5 with a lubricating function to support the belt body 0-3 and reduce the sliding friction between the belt body 0-3 and the slider 1-5.

[0044] like Figure 5As shown, the nut tightening unit 2 includes a tightening gun 2-1, a transverse cylinder 2-2, a longitudinal guide rail 2-3, a longitudinal cylinder 2-4, a fixed bracket 2-5, and a transverse guide rail 2-6. The fixed bracket 2-5 is radially fixed to the outer wall of the lower frame 0-2. The two longitudinal guide rails 2-3 are respectively fixed to both sides of the fixed bracket 2-5. The two ends of the transverse guide rail 2-6 are connected to the sliders of the two longitudinal guide rails 2-3, allowing the transverse guide rail 2-6 to move longitudinally. The base of the longitudinal cylinder 2-4 is fixed to the fixed bracket 2-5, and its push rod is connected to the transverse guide rail 2-6, enabling it to move longitudinally. The tightening gun 2-1 is connected to the slider of the transverse guide rail 2-6, allowing it to move laterally. The base of the transverse cylinder 2-2 is fixedly connected to the transverse guide rail 2-6, and its push rod is fixedly connected to the tightening gun 2-1, enabling it to move laterally. Through the action of guide rails and cylinders in two directions, the tightening gun 2-1 can move in both longitudinal and transverse directions. The tightening gun 2-1 can automatically tighten nuts 0-7 and control the tightening torque.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the end-pushing unit 3 includes a housing II 3-1, a cylinder II 3-2, a roller II 3-3, and a mounting bracket II 3-4. The housing II 3-1 provides an installation interface. The mounting bracket II 3-4 is connected to the housing II 3-1 and to the lower frame 0-2 of the rigid strap separation mechanism. The cylinder II 3-2 is connected to the housing II 3-1, and its push rod is connected to the roller II 3-3. The roller II 3-3's rotation axis is perpendicular to the push rod's pushing direction. After the main structure of the strap 0-3 is pressed against the upper frame 0-1 and the lower frame 0-2, the cylinder II 3-2 radially pushes the end structure of the strap 0-3 against the upper frame 0-1 and the lower frame 0-2.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the support mechanism 4 includes two connecting plates 4-1, two sets of support springs 4-2, two sets of linear guides 4-3, two adjusting seats 4-4, two support rods 4-5, and a base 4-6. The two support rods 4-5 are fixedly connected to both ends of the base 4-6. The lower end of the adjusting seat 4-4 is fixedly connected to the support rod 4-5. The linear guides 4-3 are fixed on the adjusting seats 4-4, and the adjusting seats 4-4 can adjust their axial height. The two connecting plates 4-1 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed brackets 2-5 of the nut tightening unit 2. The connecting plates 4-1 are connected to the top of the linear guides 4-3. The support springs 4-2 are sleeved on the guide rods of the linear guides 4-3. The support springs 4-2 on the two sets of linear guides 4-3 are installed in opposite positions. One end provides spring force when compressed, and the other end provides spring force when tensioned. The two ends cooperate to resist the bending moment generated when the tightening gun 2-1 tightens the nut.

[0047] like Figure 8As shown, the heating band 5 is a strip-shaped flexible silicone structure, slightly shorter than the arc length of the belt body 0-3, and has a built-in resistance wire for heating and temperature control. The heating band 5 covers the outer circumference of the belt body 0-3 to heat the belt body 0-3.

[0048] like Figure 9 As shown, the belt positioning fixture 6 is located on the symmetrical plane of belt 0-3 (opposite to the opening of the belt), and is used for clamping and positioning belt 0-3 at the symmetrical plane position. The belt positioning fixture 6 includes a C-frame 6-1, a clamping block 6-2, a positioning block 6-3, and a guide block 6-4. The positioning block 6-3 is fixed to the mounting bracket 1-4 of the pushing unit 1, serving a positioning and guiding function. The guide block 6-4 is fixed to the C-frame 6-1, with belt 0-3 located within the C-shaped recess of the C-frame 6-1. The clamping block 6-2 is placed within the C-shaped recess along the upper edge of belt 0-3, connected to the C-frame 6-1 by screws. By adjusting the size, belt 0-3 is clamped. When pushing the belt, the positioning block 6-3 and guide block 6-4 ensure that the symmetrical plane position of belt 0-3 has only radial movement freedom, preventing circumferential movement of belt 0-3 during installation.

[0049] like Figure 10 As shown, the working process of the automated equipment for loading, installing, and measuring the preload of the rigid strap separation mechanism is as follows:

[0050] ① The diameter of the free state of the belt 0-3 is slightly larger than that of the upper frame 0-1 and the lower frame 0-2.

[0051] ② Place the belt 0-3 on the capture bracket 0-4, axially connect the upper frame 0-1 and the lower frame 0-2, and install the unlocking component 0-5.

[0052] ③ Install the belt pusher unit 1 onto the capture bracket 0-4, adjust the height of the bracket 1-6, and the slider 1-5 lifts the belt 0-3. Adjust the axial height of the belt 0-3 to a suitable position. Clamp the belt 0-3 at the symmetrical plane position using the belt positioning clamp 6 to achieve circumferential positioning of the belt 0-3. Wrap the heating belt 5 around the outer cylindrical surface of the belt 0-3 to ensure a tight fit between the heating belt 5 and the belt 0-3 for good heat transfer efficiency. Install the nut tightening unit 2 and the end pusher unit 3 onto the lower frame 0-2. Connect the electrical equipment to the control system 7 via cables, and connect the support mechanism 4 to the nut tightening unit 2 to provide elastic support.

[0053] ④ The heating belt 5 is heated by the control system 7, and the actual temperature of the belt body 0-3 is fed back by the temperature sensor. The belt body 0-3 elongates in the circumferential direction when heated.

[0054] ⑤ Once the actual temperature of belt 0-3 reaches the target value, the automated program built into the control system 7 controls multiple belt pushing units 1 to push belt 0-3 sequentially from its positioning point to both sides. During the pushing process, the cylinder I1-2 of the pushing unit 1 extends to push belt 0-3 radially, making it fit tightly against the upper frame 0-1 and the lower frame 0-2. The roller I1-3 provides circumferential rolling freedom, allowing belt 0-3 to slide circumferentially during the pushing process.

[0055] ⑥ After all the belt pushing units 1 have finished pushing, under the automatic control of the control system 7, the cylinder II 3-2 of the end pushing unit 3 pushes the end of the belt 0-3 to be tightly against the upper end frame 0-1 and the lower end frame 0-2. During the pushing process of the end pushing unit 3, manual operation is used to ensure that the screws on both sides of the unlocking component 0-5 extend from the connection holes at the end, and the force measuring washer 0-6 is pre-fitted into the screws on both sides of the unlocking component 0-5.

[0056] ⑦ Place the tightening nut 0-7 into the tightening sleeve of the tightening gun 2-1 beforehand. Under program control, the tightening gun 2-1 moves in both longitudinal and transverse directions to ensure that the tightening nut 0-7 in the tightening sleeve is aligned with the screws on both sides of the unlocking component 0-5, and automatically tightens the tightening nut 0-7 to the preset tightening torque. During the tightening process, the tightening torque and the data of the force measuring washer 0-6 are measured in real time through the control system 7. After tightening, the belt body is clamped, and the belt body pushing unit 1, the nut tightening unit 2, and the end pushing unit 3 are reset and disengaged from the belt body 0-3.

[0057] ⑧ The belt body at 0-3 cools and shrinks, generating an annular preload. The preload is measured using force-measuring washers at 0-6. The automated equipment is then removed, completing the application of preload to the rigid strap separation mechanism.

The belt pusher unit (1) supports the belt (0-3) to the set height. The belt body (0-3) is circumferentially positioned by clamping the belt body (0-3) at the symmetrical plane position using the belt body positioning fixture (6); The heating belt (5) is heated by the control system (7), and the actual temperature of the belt body (0-3) is fed back by the temperature sensor. The belt body (0-3) is heated and elongated in the circumferential direction. When the actual temperature of the belt (0-3) reaches the target value, the control system (7) controls multiple belt pushing units (1) to push the belt (0-3) from the positioning point of the belt (0-3) to both sides in sequence; After all the belt push units (1) have finished pushing, the control system (7) automatically controls the lower end push unit (3) to push the end of the belt (0-3) to be close to the upper end frame (0-1) and the lower end frame (0-2); After the screws on both sides of the unlocking component (0-5) pass through the connecting holes of the end structure of the belt body (0-3), the nut tightening unit (2) automatically tightens the nut (0-7); after tightening, the belt body is clamped, and the belt body pushing unit (1), the nut tightening unit (2) and the end pushing unit (3) are reset and disengaged from the belt body (0-3); The belt (0-3) cools and shrinks, generating an annular pre-tightening force. The magnitude of the annular pre-tightening force is measured by the force measuring washer (0-6). The automated equipment is then removed, and the pre-tightening force of the rigid belt separation mechanism is applied.
