Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial rainmaking missile launcher technology, specifically a rail-mounted missile launcher. Background Technology
[0002] Artificial rainmaking involves seeding clouds with catalysts such as dry ice, silver iodide, and salt powder using aircraft or rocket launchers, based on the physical characteristics of different cloud layers. This induces precipitation or increases rainfall, thereby alleviating drought in farmland and increasing irrigation water or water supply capacity in reservoirs. Due to limitations imposed by flight conditions and flight distances, many small counties and cities now use rocket launchers for artificial rainmaking. Currently, mobile vehicle-mounted launchers are commonly used, capable of firing multiple rockets at once to increase the probability of rainfall.
[0003] However, since the launching device is mounted on the vehicle, the force points during firing are all on the vehicle. The shell will generate a large recoil force when it is fired. The launching device without a good support point is easily damaged by the large recoil force. In severe cases, it may cause the front of the vehicle to tilt forward, which may easily lead to a safety accident. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a rail-mounted missile launcher that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a rail-mounted missile launcher, comprising a mounting base, a support frame, a support plate, a missile mounting base, an angle adjustment mechanism, and a height adjustment mechanism. The mounting base is used to fix the launcher to a carrier. The height adjustment mechanism is mounted on the mounting base and is used to adjust the height of the support frame. The angle adjustment mechanism is mounted on the support frame and is used to adjust the angle of the support plate. The missile mounting base is mounted on the support plate and is used to fix the launcher. The bottom of the support frame is provided with a force-bearing wheel, and the support frame is provided with a support platform for supporting the upper part of the support plate.
[0006] Preferably, the angle adjustment mechanism includes a slide rail, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a mechanism frame, a worm gear, and a worm wheel. The slide rail is mounted on the support frame and arranged along the length of the support frame. A pulley is rotatably mounted on the support plate and slides along the slide rail. The mechanism frame is fixed on the support frame. The worm gear is pivotally connected to the mechanism frame. The worm wheel is rotatably mounted on the mechanism frame and meshes with the worm gear. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are hinged together by a pivot shaft. The other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the support plate, and the other end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the worm wheel.
[0007] Preferably, a rotating arm is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, the rotating arm is connected to the support frame through a height adjustment mechanism, and a motor connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating arm is mounted on the mounting base.
[0008] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism includes a rotating frame, a sliding rod, a sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on the sliding rod, a lead screw, a nut threaded on the lead screw, and a second motor. The rotating frame is mounted on a rotating arm, the lead screw and the sliding rod are both mounted on the rotating frame, the sliding sleeve and the nut are both fixed on a support frame, and the second motor is mounted on the rotating frame and coaxially connected to the lead screw.
[0009] Preferably, a rocker wheel is coaxially connected to the worm gear.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes a positioning mechanism, which includes a positioning plate pivotally connected to a pulley. The slide rail has positioning holes spaced at equal intervals along its length, and the positioning plate is threaded with positioning bolts corresponding to the positioning holes.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting base has a connection hole for connecting the carrier.
[0012] This invention provides a rail-mounted missile launcher. It has the following advantages: 1. In this sliding-rail missile launcher, when the angle adjustment mechanism is activated, a rocker wheel drives a worm gear to rotate. The worm gear drives a worm wheel to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the worm wheel drives a connecting rod one to rotate counterclockwise around it. Connecting rod one drives connecting rod two to push the support plate backward. At this time, the force-bearing wheel at the bottom of the support plate moves horizontally on the ground, and the back of the support plate is always supported on the support platform. This ensures that regardless of the missile's angle on the support plate, the force-bearing wheel is supported on the ground, and the back of the support plate is supported on the support platform. This allows the missile to be adjusted to any tilt angle while meeting the force requirements.
[0013] 2. This rail-mounted missile launcher, by setting up a height adjustment mechanism, adjusts the load-bearing wheel to contact the ground before missile launch, avoiding damage to the vehicle caused by the large recoil force generated by the missile launch, and greatly reducing safety accidents.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] This invention provides a rail-mounted missile launcher, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1, a support frame 2, a support plate 3, a missile mounting base 4, an angle adjustment mechanism 5, and a height adjustment mechanism 6.
[0017] Mounting base 1 is used to fix it to the carrier, and mounting base 1 has a connecting hole 11 for connecting the carrier. Mounting base 1 can be fixed to the rear bed of the vehicle or other carrier through the connecting hole 11. Missile mounting base 4 is set on support plate 3 and is used to fix the launcher. The combination of missile mounting base 4 and launcher is prior art. In this application, based on the existing launcher and mounting base, a height adjustment mechanism 6 and an angle adjustment mechanism 5 are added.
[0018] The bottom of the support frame 2 is equipped with a force-bearing wheel 7, which is used to support the ground and bear the recoil force when the missile is launched.
[0019] A rotating arm 9 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1. The rotating arm 9 is connected to the support frame 2 via a height adjustment mechanism 6. A motor 10, connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating arm 9, is mounted on the mounting base 1. The motor 10 drives the rotating arm 9 to rotate. When in vehicle transport mode, the device is in the following position... Figure 1 The device is in the horizontal position shown. When in the firing state, the device drives the rotating arm 9 to a position as shown by motor 10. Figure 3 The vertical position shown.
[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the height adjustment mechanism 6 is mounted on the mounting base 1 and is used to adjust the height of the support frame 2. The height adjustment mechanism 6 includes a rotating frame 61, a sliding rod 62, a sliding sleeve 63 slidably sleeved on the sliding rod 62, a lead screw 64, a nut 65 threaded on the lead screw 64, and a second motor 66. The rotating frame 61 is mounted on the rotating arm 9. The lead screw 64 and the sliding rod 62 are both mounted on the rotating frame 61. The sliding sleeve 63 and the nut 65 are both fixed to the support frame 2. The second motor 66 is mounted on the rotating frame 61 and is coaxially connected to the lead screw 64. During operation, the second motor 66 drives the lead screw 64 to rotate, and the displacement of the nut 65 adjusts the height of the support frame 2.
[0021] When adjusting the height, first adjust the support frame 2 to a vertical position using motor 10. At this time, the force-bearing wheel 7 is located at the rear of the vehicle body. Then, adjust the height using the height adjustment mechanism 6 until the force-bearing wheel 7 contacts the ground.
[0022] An angle adjustment mechanism 5 is mounted on the support frame 2 and is used to adjust the angle of the support plate 3. The support frame 2 is provided with a support platform 12 for supporting the upper part of the support plate 3. No matter what angle the angle adjustment mechanism 5 adjusts the support plate 3 to, the back of the support plate 3 can be supported on the support platform 12.
[0023] The angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a slide rail 51, a first connecting rod 53, a second connecting rod 54, a mechanism frame 56, a worm gear 58, and a worm wheel 57. The slide rail 51 is mounted on the support frame 2 and extends along the length of the support frame 2. A pulley 52 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 3, sliding along the slide rail 51. When the angle of the support plate 3 changes, the pulley 52 slides vertically within the slide rail 51. The mechanism frame 56 is fixed to the support frame 2. The worm gear 58 is pivotally connected to the mechanism frame 56. The worm wheel 57 is rotatably mounted on the mechanism frame 56 and meshes with the worm gear 58. The first connecting rod 53 and the second connecting rod 54 are hinged together by a pivot 55. The other end of the second connecting rod 54 is hinged to the support plate 3, and the other end of the first connecting rod 53 is hinged to the worm wheel 57. A rocker wheel 59 is coaxially connected to the worm gear 58.
[0024] When the angle adjustment mechanism 5 is driven, the rocker wheel 59 drives the worm gear 58 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 57 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the worm wheel 57 causes the first connecting rod 53 to rotate counterclockwise around it. The first connecting rod 53 then drives the second connecting rod 54 to push the support plate 3 backward. At this time, the force-bearing wheel 7 at the bottom of the support plate 3 moves horizontally on the ground, and the back of the support plate 3 is always supported on the support platform 12. This ensures that no matter what angle the missile is at on the support plate 3, the force-bearing wheel 7 can be supported on the ground, and the back of the support plate 3 can be supported on the support platform 12. This allows the missile to be adjusted to any tilt angle while meeting the force requirements.
[0025] This device also includes a positioning mechanism 8, which includes a positioning plate 81 pivotally connected to the pulley 52. Positioning holes 82 are evenly spaced along the length of the slide rail 51. Positioning bolts 83 corresponding to the positioning holes 82 are threaded onto the positioning plate 81. Guide grooves are provided on both sides of the slide rail 51 for vertical sliding adaptation of the positioning plate 81. The positioning plate 81 slides within the guide grooves via guide blocks. After the angle of the support plate 3 is adjusted, the positioning bolts 83 on the positioning plate 81 are screwed into the corresponding positioning holes 82, positioning the pulley 52 vertically and preventing displacement of the support plate 4.
