[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-4 ,

[0031] The invention comprises a cover body 1, a connecting flange 3 is fixed to the bottom of the cover body 1, the bottom of the connecting flange 3 is detachably connected to the missile head 2, an air pressure balance chamber 5 is provided inside the connecting flange 3, an annular piston 11 is symmetrically slidably connected inside the air pressure balance chamber 5, the annular piston 11, the first sealing gasket 7 and the second sealing gasket 8 are all made of perfluororubber, which refers to a terpolymer of perfluoromethyl vinyl ether, tetrafluoroene and perfluoroene ether, which has the characteristic of high temperature resistance and can maintain stable performance at a temperature of 200 degrees, a plurality of second air holes 6 are evenly distributed on the top of the connecting flange 3 and located at the position corresponding to the air pressure balance chamber 5, the second air holes 6 are located inside the cover body 1 and connected to the air pressure balance chamber 5, a first air hole 4 is provided on one side of the bottom of the connecting flange 3, and the first air hole 4 It is connected to the air pressure balance chamber 5, and is used to communicate the air inside the cover body 1 with the air pressure balance chamber 5 through the second air vent 6, and is used to communicate the outside air with the air pressure balance chamber 5 through the first air vent 4. Specifically, when the air inside the cover body 1 expands at high temperature, a high-pressure environment is formed inside the cover body 1, and the gas enters the inside of the air pressure balance chamber 5. The annular piston 11 moves toward the direction close to the missile head 2 under the action of pressure. On the contrary, when the temperature of the air inside the cover body 1 decreases, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the cover body 1, and the annular piston 11 moves away from the missile head 2, thereby balancing the pressure inside the cover body 1 under high and low temperature environments, and then under the action of the annular piston 11, the air tightness and water tightness of the cover body 1 can be effectively guaranteed, thereby improving the stability of the radar operation inside the cover body 1;

[0032] The air pressure balance chamber 5 is slidably connected with a connecting ring 10, and two annular pistons 11 are respectively fixed on the top and bottom of the connecting ring 10. The connecting ring 10 is used to fix the two annular pistons 11 so that the two annular pistons 11 form a whole, which can reduce the friction between the annular pistons 11 and the air pressure balance chamber 5 while ensuring the air tightness and water tightness between the annular pistons 11 and the air pressure balance chamber 5;

[0033] The gap between the connecting ring 10 and the air pressure balance chamber 5 is matched, and the annular piston 11 and the air pressure balance chamber 5 have an interference fit. The gap between the connecting ring 10 and the air pressure balance chamber 5 can avoid large friction with the air pressure balance chamber 5 when the connecting ring 10 expands and contracts in high and low temperature environments, thereby improving the stability of the structure. The interference fit between the annular piston 11 and the air pressure balance chamber 5 ensures the air tightness and water tightness between the annular piston 11 and the air pressure balance chamber 5.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The antenna cover that is easy to disassemble and assemble provided in Example 1 is further optimized. Specifically, Figure 3-5 As shown,

[0036] A connecting seat 9 is fixed on the top of the missile head 2, and threads are provided on the inner side of the air pressure balance chamber 5 and the outer side of the connecting seat 9. The outer side of the connecting seat 9 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the air pressure balance chamber 5. The threaded connection facilitates the disassembly and assembly between the cover body 1 and the missile head 2. The structure is simple and reliable, and is easy to process and assemble. The joints between the cover body 1, the missile head 2 and the connecting flange 3 can be kept smooth, which is beneficial to reducing wind resistance during flight.

The first sealing gasket 7 and the second sealing gasket 8 are used to seal between the connecting flange 3 and the missile head 2, thereby compensating for the defect of insufficient sealing caused by the threaded connection between the missile head 2 and the connecting flange 3, and improving the sealing performance of the structure;

[0038] An I-shaped support frame 12 is fixed inside the second sealing gasket 8 and the first sealing gasket 7. The material of the I-shaped support frame 12 is polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which has the characteristics of stable performance in high temperature environment and has a certain softness relative to metal. The I-shaped support frame 12 is used to support the first sealing gasket 7 and the second sealing gasket 8 to avoid excessive deformation of the first sealing gasket 7 and the second sealing gasket 8, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the structure.

[0039] The use process of the antenna cover that is easy to disassemble and assemble provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0040] Technical principle: When the air inside the cover body 1 expands at high temperature, a high-pressure environment is formed inside the cover body 1, and the gas enters the interior of the air pressure balance chamber 5 through the second air vent 6. The annular piston 11 moves toward the direction close to the missile warhead 2 under the action of pressure, and the gas inside the air pressure balance chamber 5 is discharged through the first air vent 4. Conversely, when the temperature of the air inside the cover body 1 decreases, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the cover body 1, and the annular piston 11 moves away from the missile warhead 2. The air inside the air pressure balance chamber 5 enters the interior of the cover body 1 through the second air vent 6, and the outside air enters the interior of the air pressure balance chamber 5 through the first air vent 4, thereby balancing the pressure inside the cover body 1 under high and low temperature environments, and then under the action of the annular piston 11, the air tightness and water tightness of the cover body 1 can be effectively guaranteed, thereby improving the stability of the radar operation inside the cover body 1.
