[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the rocket road transport vehicle provided by the present invention includes: a chassis 7 and a housing 5, the housing 5 being disposed on the chassis 7, and the chassis 7 and the housing 5 forming a space for accommodating the rocket body 6. A bracket slide rail 704 is provided along the length of the chassis 7, and multiple support brackets are provided along the length of the bracket slide rail 704. The support brackets are used to support the rocket body 6. The end face of the support bracket used to support the rocket body is a profile adapted to the rocket body. The support brackets are slidably disposed along the bracket slide rail 704 to accommodate the length of the rocket body 6.
[0028] Specifically, with the development of aerospace, railway transportation is limited by the contours of rails and tunnels, making it unsuitable for transporting long rocket bodies. Sea transport requires specialized vessels, is costly, and is subject to port restrictions. Road transport of rockets offers advantages such as low cost, versatility, and flexibility. The Long March 5 rocket's stage transport utilizes a combination of containers and chassis, transferring between the assembly plant and the port, and finally loading the containers onto the ship upon arrival at the dock. The containers and other outer packaging primarily protect the rocket from mechanical damage during transport and provide rain and dust protection. However, existing transport vehicles have a large overall structural size and poor road maneuverability. The integrated packaging of the transport vehicles makes inspection and securing of the rocket body during transport inconvenient. Furthermore, the loading and unloading process requires docking with transfer vehicles; the rocket body can only be pushed from the packaging to the transfer vehicle before unloading, lacking flexibility and requiring specific site conditions. In contrast, the Falcon 9 rocket, which uses rainproof material to cover the rocket body before direct transport, effectively reduces the transport cross-sectional dimensions, but offers weaker protection during transport.
[0029] The transport vehicle provided in this embodiment supports the rocket body through multiple support brackets (e.g., support brackets 701, 702, 703), and the support brackets cooperate with the bracket slide rail 704 to achieve adjustable support for the rocket body during transport, adapting to any support position for different types of rockets. For example, the support brackets can be movably connected to the bracket slide rail 704 via rollers or surface contact sliding. Furthermore, as... Figure 12 As shown, the bracket slide rail 704 can be a standard track, which can connect with the slide rails of the external auxiliary transfer vehicle or external transfer platform 9 to facilitate the transfer of the rocket body from the external auxiliary transfer vehicle or external transfer platform 9 to the transport vehicle, thus improving the compatibility of the transport vehicle. For example, the chassis 7 and the box body 5 can be integrally set or fixed, omitting the box body bottom plate and further reducing the overall height of the transport vehicle, making it easier for the transport vehicle to pass through culverts and bridges.
[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of tension rings 705 are provided along the length of the chassis 7. After the support bracket 701 is adjusted to a predetermined position, it is fixedly connected to the corresponding tension ring 705.
[0031] In this embodiment, the support bracket 701 and the pull ring 705 can be connected by a pull rope. For example, as Figure 2 As shown, the support bracket 701 has two sides connected to pull rings on both sides via pull ropes along its thickness direction (i.e., the length direction of the chassis). Both ends of the support bracket 701 in its width direction (i.e., the width direction of the chassis) are fixed to corresponding pull rings via pull ropes. Multiple pull rings 705 can be evenly distributed along the length of the chassis 7. For example, the pull ropes can be in the form of a hand-operated hoist.
[0032] like Figure 1 , 7 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the chassis 7 and the housing 5, the transport vehicle also includes a transverse brace 4. The transverse brace 4 spans the two side walls of the housing 5 to support the two side walls of the housing 5 and maintain the rigidity of the housing 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, for example, such as Figure 8As shown, one end of the horizontal brace 4 can be connected to the side wall of the housing 5 via the mounting plate 401. The horizontal brace 4 and the mounting plate 401 are rotatably connected via a support pin 402. Before hoisting the rocket body into the housing 5, the horizontal brace 4 can be rotated to fit against the side wall of the housing 5 and fixed with a pin. After the rocket body is hoisted into the housing 5, the horizontal brace 4 is rotated to be perpendicular to the side wall of the housing 5, that is, both ends of the horizontal brace 4 are connected to the two side walls of the housing 5 and fixed with pins to support the side walls of the housing 5. The horizontal brace 4 of this transport vehicle can be quickly opened or retracted into the side wall of the housing 5 during rocket loading and unloading to free up top space when hoisting the rocket, avoiding occupying the rocket's hoisting space, which is convenient and quick. By setting the horizontal brace 4, this transport vehicle can complete the rapid loading and unloading of rockets without relying on an external transfer platform, effectively improving the loading and unloading speed of rockets, reducing time and labor costs, and is less restricted by site conditions.
[0034] Furthermore, due to the large size of the rocket body, the cross bracing 4 is mostly a long cantilever beam, and it can be a variable cross-section rod. For example, the cross-sectional area of the cross bracing 4 near the side walls is larger to reduce deformation at that location and to help maintain a safe distance from the rocket body 6. At the bracing pin 402, the cross bracing 4 has a large torsional moment of inertia, which can reduce the amount of deformation during the swinging process of the cross bracing 4, and at the same time, it can better adapt to the shape of the rocket body's arc surface, reducing the space occupied by the cross bracing in the transport height.
[0035] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the chassis 7 and the box body 5, the transport vehicle also includes a telescopic tarpaulin top, which is disposed at the top of the box body 5. The telescopic tarpaulin top includes active tarpaulin rods 1, driven tarpaulin rods 2, and a tarpaulin. Multiple active tarpaulin rods 1 are arranged along the length of the box body 5, and the two ends of the active tarpaulin rods 1 are slidably connected to the opposite side walls of the box body 5. A driven tarpaulin rod 2 is disposed between two adjacent active tarpaulin rods 1, and the two ends of the driven tarpaulin rod 2 are rotatably connected to the adjacent active tarpaulin rod 1. The driven tarpaulin rod 2 includes at least a first driven tarpaulin rod and a second driven tarpaulin rod, which are rotatably connected. The tarpaulin is disposed on the active tarpaulin rods 1 and the driven tarpaulin rods 2. The active tarpaulin rods 1 slide along the side walls of the box body 5, causing the first and second driven tarpaulin rods to rotate relative to each other, so that the tarpaulin is unfolded or folded at the top of the box body 5.
[0036] When hoisting the rocket body, the tarpaulin is first folded over the front of the vehicle by sliding the active canopy rod 1 along the side wall of the box 5. Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, or at the rear of the vehicle, the telescopic tarpaulin top is in a retracted and folded state, not occupying the lifting space of the rocket body. After the rocket body is lifted into the box 5, the telescopic tarpaulin top unfolds, and the tarpaulin is laid on the top of the box 5 (as shown in the diagram). Figure 3(As shown). For example, when the telescopic tarpaulin top is in the unfolded state, the first and second driven tarpaulin poles can be arranged in a V-shape to facilitate rain drainage. Furthermore, when the telescopic tarpaulin top is folded, the second driven tarpaulin pole flips upwards, preventing the tarpaulin from sagging and rubbing against the rocket body surface. The active tarpaulin pole 1 can be an arc shape with an upward convex center or a V-shaped structure to facilitate rain drainage and prevent water accumulation at the top. The transport vehicle, through the cooperation of the box body 5, chassis 7, support bracket, and telescopic tarpaulin top, achieves transport support and protection for the rocket body 6. For example, the tarpaulin can be fixed to the active tarpaulin pole 1 and the driven tarpaulin pole 2 by binding. The tarpaulin can be waterproof.
[0037] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the chassis 7, the housing 5, and the telescopic tarpaulin top, the transport vehicle also includes a transmission system 3. The transmission system 3 includes a driven gear and a driven chain 303. The driven gear includes a first driven gear 307 and a second driven gear 308. The first driven gear 307 and the second driven gear 308 are respectively disposed at both ends of the side wall of the housing 5 along its length direction, and the driven chain 303 is meshed with the first driven gear 307 and the second driven gear 308. The driving tarpaulin rod 1, furthest from the folding position of the telescopic tarpaulin top, is connected to the driven chain 303. The driven gear drives the driven chain 303 to move, thereby causing the driving tarpaulin rod 1 to slide along the length direction of the side wall of the housing 5, causing the telescopic tarpaulin top to unfold or fold.
[0038] In this embodiment, for example, a driven shaft 302 can be provided on the side wall of the housing 5. A first driven gear 307 is sleeved on the driven shaft 302 and is rotatable relative to the driven shaft 302. For example, the driven chain 303 rotates counterclockwise, first driving the active canopy rod 1 at the rear of the vehicle to move towards the front of the vehicle, and then sequentially driving multiple active canopy rods 1 to move towards the front of the vehicle, so that the telescopic tarpaulin top is folded at the front of the vehicle. The transport vehicle can achieve rapid unfolding and retraction of the telescopic tarpaulin top through the transmission system 3. The telescopic tarpaulin top cooperates with the housing 5 to protect the rocket body from rain, snow and mechanical damage during long-distance transportation, effectively reducing the loading and unloading time of the rocket body and improving the flexibility of loading and unloading. For example, the driven chain 303 is fixedly connected to the active canopy rod 1 at the rear of the vehicle. The driven chain 303 rotates counterclockwise, sequentially driving the active canopy rods 1 from the rear of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle, so that the tarpaulin is folded at the front of the vehicle.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the driven gear and the driven chain 303, the transmission system 3 also includes a chain support wheel 304. The chain support wheel 304 is disposed on the side wall of the housing 5, and the chain support wheel 304 is rotatably connected to the driven chain 303 to support the driven chain 303.
[0040] In this embodiment, for example, the chain support wheel 304 and the driven chain 303 can be meshed. Multiple chain support wheels 304 can be provided along the length of the housing 5.
[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the driven gear and driven chain 303, the transmission system 3 further includes a drive motor 305, a drive gear, and a drive chain 301. The drive gear includes a first drive gear 306 and a second drive gear, and the drive chain 301 is meshed with the first drive gear 306 and the second drive gear. The drive motor 305 is connected to the first drive gear 306, and the second drive gear is connected to the first driven gear 307 via a driven shaft 302. The drive motor 305 drives the first drive gear 306 to rotate the drive chain 301, thereby driving the first driven gear 307 to rotate via the second drive gear.
[0042] In this embodiment, the drive motor 305 drives the first drive gear 306 to rotate the drive chain 301, which in turn drives the first driven gear 307 to rotate via the second drive gear. This causes the driven chain 303 to move the drive tent pole 1, allowing the driven tent pole 2 to fold or unfold. When the telescopic tarpaulin top is folded, the drive motor 305 of the transport vehicle can provide the driving force to overcome the friction between the drive tent pole 1 and the housing 5. For example, the drive chain 301 and the driven chain 303 can be chains, belts, or toothed belts, etc.
[0043] For example, the drive motor 305 can be a hydraulic motor or an electric motor. For example, the drive motor 305 can be equipped with an overflow valve. By reasonably setting the protection pressure of the overflow valve, the drive oil pressure will not continue to rise when the transmission system or the top of the telescopic tarpaulin is stuck, so as to control the pulling force and avoid damage to the transmission system structure or the tarpaulin structure.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the transport vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic pump station 8 for providing power to the hydraulic motor.
[0045] In this embodiment, the hydraulic motor and hydraulic pump station can be installed at the front of the transport vehicle.
[0046] like Figure 6As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the driven gear and driven chain 303, the transmission system 3 also includes a tensioning mechanism. The tensioning mechanism includes a tightening screw 803, a tightening nut 804, and a connecting rod 802. The connecting rod 802 is disposed on the side wall of the housing 5, and the tightening nut 804 is disposed at one end of the connecting rod 802 along the length direction of the side wall of the housing 5. The tightening screw 803 is threadedly connected to the tightening nut 804, and the tightening screw 803 is sleeved on the connecting rod 802 and movably disposed along the connecting rod 802. One end of the tightening screw 803 is connected to the second driven gear. By rotating the tightening screw 803, the tightening screw 803 drives the second driven gear to move relative to the connecting rod 802, thereby adjusting the tension of the driven chain.
[0047] like Figure 9 and 10 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a track 102 is provided on the side wall of the box 5 along its length direction. Tent rollers 101 are provided at both ends of the active tent rod 1. The tent rollers 101 are movable along the track 102 to drive the active tent rod 1 to move along the length direction of the box 5, so that the telescopic tent top can be unfolded or folded.
[0048] In this embodiment, for example, a track 102 is provided on the outer side of the sidewall of the box body 5, and two sets of tent rollers 101 are provided at each end of the active tent rod 1. The two sets of tent rollers 101 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the track 102 so that the active tent rod 1 can move along the track 102 and limit the active tent rod 1 in the height direction.
[0049] Furthermore, since transport vehicles are typically long, the active canopy rod 1 has a long moving track, and the track 102 is prone to deformation, causing the active canopy rod 1 to jam. This transport vehicle, by incorporating multiple transverse bracing rods 4, ensures the overall rigidity of the container 5 and the parallelism of the track 102, guaranteeing that the telescopic canopy top can extend and retract without jamming.
[0050] like Figure 9 and 10 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, canopy rod support rollers 103 are provided on the lower end faces of both ends of the main beam 104 of the active canopy rod 1. The canopy rod support rollers 103 are rotatably disposed relative to the upper end face of the side wall of the box body 5 to support the active canopy rod 1 and reduce the force on the canopy rod rollers 101.
[0051] like Figure 1 and 11 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a side door 502 is provided on the side wall of the housing 5.
[0052] In this embodiment, for example, the side doors are set according to the lifting point positions of the rocket body. For different rocket models, the housing 5 can be equipped with multiple side doors to accommodate the lifting point positions of different rocket models. When the rocket body falls into the housing 5, the side doors can be opened first to prevent the lifting point protrusions of the rocket body from colliding with the side wall or side door of the housing 5 during descent. This also facilitates the observation of the rocket body's lifting posture and the alignment status between the rocket body and the support brackets (701, 702, 703) by the lifting personnel, enabling rapid loading and unloading of the rocket and reducing the overall width of the vehicle. Furthermore, during transportation, personnel can enter the vehicle through the side doors for inspection, avoiding the need to crawl from the rear to the front of the vehicle for inspection as is common in traditional packaging inspections, thus improving operational convenience. For example, the side doors can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing's width. The side doors can be automatic opening and closing doors.
[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a warning strip 503 for suspending the arrow body is provided on the side wall of the box 5, which is used to align with the suspension point of the arrow body when the arrow body is suspended into the box 5, so as to facilitate the suspension of the arrow body into the box 5.
[0054] In this embodiment, for example, the arrow body lifting point warning tape 503 can be set at the top center of the side door 502. For example, one side door can be set near the front and one near the rear of the vehicle, and one arrow body lifting point warning tape 503 can be set at each of the front and rear side doors, respectively, for alignment with the front and rear lifting points of the arrow body. When the arrow body falls into the housing 5, after confirming that the arrow body lifting point is aligned with the corresponding arrow body lifting point warning tape 503, the arrow body is slowly placed into the housing 5. Then, the arrow body is fixed (e.g., fixed between the arrow body and the support bracket), the horizontal brace 4 is swung to be perpendicular to the side wall of the storage tank 5, and fixed with pins. Finally, the drive motor 305 is started, so that the telescopic tarpaulin top unfolds on the top of the storage tank 5 to cover the roof of the vehicle. When unloading the arrow body, the above process is reversed to complete the unloading.
[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the portion of the side wall of the housing 5 near the chassis 7 is recessed.
[0056] The transport vehicle provided in this embodiment can effectively avoid road guardrails and allows part of the container to cross the roadside guardrail and travel as far to the right as possible. This reduces the width restrictions on toll booths and other buildings, as well as the requirements for the width and turning radius of turning roads, improving the vehicle's passability and road adaptability, and reducing dismantling and modification costs. For example, the container 5 can be approximately hexagonal, or the part of the side wall of the container 5 near the chassis 7 can be a concave arc shape.
[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the chassis 7 and the housing 5, the transport vehicle also includes an online environmental monitoring and early warning system. The online environmental monitoring and early warning system includes data acquisition equipment, sensors, and an industrial control computer. Sensors are installed on the rocket body 6 and are used to measure data from the rocket body 6. The data acquisition equipment is used to collect and transmit data from the sensors. The industrial control computer is used to receive data from the data acquisition equipment and to process the data. If the signal indicators exceed a preset range, an alarm is triggered.
[0058] Specifically, due to the complex and variable road conditions during rocket transportation, the vibration and dynamic environment of the rocket body is also related to vehicle speed, necessitating monitoring of the rocket's mechanical environment. Current rocket transportation monitoring relies on manual monitoring and data analysis, failing to achieve an unattended, intelligent environmental monitoring system.
[0059] In this embodiment, for example, the sensor can be connected to the data acquisition device via a sensor connection cable. The sensor may include a vibration sensor. By comparing data from vibration sensors installed on the support bracket and the rocket body respectively, the vibration data of the rocket body and the transmission of vibration during transportation can be measured, and the vibration data can be transmitted to the data acquisition device. The industrial control computer can classify and distinguish different types of data to generate different types of alarms. For example, the industrial control computer can issue early warnings for safety conditions, assisting the driver in adjusting and controlling the vehicle speed in real time.
[0060] This transport vehicle integrates a vehicle and an online environmental monitoring and early warning system, enabling real-time feedback on the rocket's transport status and providing anomaly warnings. The driver can then adjust the vehicle's status (e.g., vehicle speed) based on these warnings. This unattended environmental monitoring system ensures a safe and efficient mechanical environment for the rocket's transport.
[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the transport vehicle of this embodiment can be equipped with an on-board audible and visual alarm. The on-board audible and visual alarm can exchange data and transmit commands with an industrial control computer via the 485 communication protocol to receive signals from the industrial control computer and issue an alarm in response to abnormal situations.
[0062] like Figure 13 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the data acquisition equipment, sensors, and industrial control computer, the environmental monitoring and early warning system also includes a vehicle battery. The vehicle battery supplies power to the data acquisition equipment and the industrial control computer via an inverter.
[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the data acquisition device, sensors and industrial control computer, the environmental monitoring and early warning system also includes a GPS antenna for real-time measurement of the position of the transport vehicle or rocket body and transmitting the position data to the data acquisition device so that the industrial control computer can receive the position data and perform data processing.
[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the industrial control computer can connect to the cloud server through a 5G industrial router and a 5G antenna. The 5G antenna and the cloud server transmit wirelessly to wirelessly synchronize the rocket body data (e.g., vibration data) to the cloud and automatically generate a data analysis report.
[0065] In this embodiment, the 5G industrial router can transmit visualized data (i.e., analysis and judgment data from the industrial control computer) and raw data to the cloud in real time. By automatically analyzing the monitoring data in real time, the transport vehicle helps improve data processing efficiency, reduce labor costs, and allows technicians to view and analyze the data anytime, anywhere.
[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the data acquisition equipment and related hardware of the industrial control computer can be integrated into a cabinet. This cabinet can be installed in the covered area of a retractable tarpaulin roof near the front of the vehicle to protect it from rain and sun, and to facilitate operation by personnel.
[0067] In this embodiment, the antenna openings and cable routing openings of the cabinet face downwards to prevent splashing rainwater from flowing into the cabinet.
[0068] like Figure 14 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the sensor is connected to the control panel of the cabinet via a sensor extension cable. The sensor may include an accelerometer, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a vibration sensor, etc.
[0069] In this embodiment, the sensor can be mounted on a support bracket and at the corresponding position on the rocket body. For example, the support bracket can be fixedly equipped with a sensor storage box. During non-mission periods, the sensor on the rocket can be stored in the sensor storage box for protection.
[0070] like Figure 15 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the workflow of the online environmental monitoring and early warning system for the transport vehicle is as follows: S01: Install the sensor and connect it to the sensor extension cable, etc.; S02: Start the cabinet power supply and the data acquisition software of the data acquisition equipment; the transport vehicle starts running. S03: The data acquisition software processes the electrical signals transmitted from the sensors and transmits them to the industrial control computer for visual analysis. For example, the industrial control computer judges the sensor signal indicators. If the signal indicators exceed the preset value or preset range, an alarm is triggered (for example, by using the 485 communication protocol to trigger an audible and visual alarm). For example, if it is a fault alarm, the driver is reminded to slow down or stop for inspection; if it is a vibration alarm exceeding the set value, the transport vehicle slows down; if there is no alarm or the alarm is cleared, the transport vehicle can drive normally. S04: Clear the fault alarm or vibration over-limit alarm, and the transport vehicle can drive normally; S05: Transport ends, stop the vehicle, close the data acquisition software of the data acquisition equipment, and stop data acquisition; S06: The industrial computer automatically uploads data to the cloud. S07: Generate monitoring reports with one click; S08: Turn off the cabinet power and store the sensor in the sensor storage box.
[0071] The above embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other and have corresponding technical effects.
[0072] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
