[0031] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a tank bottom structure with a frame according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a tank bottom structure with a frame in another embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 It is a partial cross-sectional view of a tank bottom structure with a frame according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a frame force transmission plate in a tank bottom structure with a frame according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of a servo bracket in a tank bottom structure with a frame according to an embodiment of the utility model.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a tank bottom structure with a frame, comprising: a tank bottom 100, which is welded by a circular top cover 101 and a plurality of melon segments 102; a small frame end frame 200, which is arranged at a position outside the center of the top cover 101 for installation and connection with the engine; and a plurality of frame force transmission plates 300, which are evenly connected to the circumferential position of the small frame end frame 200 and extend from the top cover 101 to the melon segments 102 respectively.
[0033] The upper and lower parts in this application refer to the bottom structure of the tank with the frame being in a position such as Figure 1 The placement state shown, that is, the upper and lower positions corresponding to the state where the small end frame 200 of the rack and the force transmission plate 300 of the rack are on the top and the bottom 100 of the box is on the bottom, technical personnel in this field should not deliberately confuse the upper and lower positions referred to in this application by changing the product placement posture.
[0034] Specifically, the tank bottom structure with a rack in this embodiment is configured by evenly arranging a plurality of rack force transfer plates 300 as a load-bearing foundation on the tank bottom 100 extending from the top cover 101 to the melon slice 102, and by installing the rack small end frame 200 to one end of the plurality of rack force transfer plates 300 close to the center of the top cover 101, so that the rack force transfer plate 300 can transfer and diffuse the concentrated load at the small end frame to the tank bottom 100. This solution can transfer the engine thrust to the tank bottom 100 through the integrated design of the tank bottom 100 and the engine rack, thereby improving the rigidity and strength of the structure, and the overall layout is simple and compact, reducing the weight of the overall space vehicle and improving the carrying capacity.
[0035] Among them, the tank bottom 100 is welded by several melon slices 102 around a top cover 101, and the thickness of the tank bottom 100 is set according to the internal pressure requirement of the tank, and the thickness of the top cover 101 and the melon slices 102 are kept consistent. The material of the tank bottom 100 can be selected from high-strength stainless steel, and the diameter of the top cover 101 and the number of melon slices 102 are designed according to process feasibility. As one of the embodiments, the thickness of the tank bottom 100 is between 1 and 2 mm, the tank bottom 100 is an ellipsoid bottom, and the number of melon slices 102 is 16. Since the thickness of the tank bottom 100 is relatively thin, in order to improve the bearing capacity of the tank bottom 100, the contact area between the frame force transmission plate 300 and the tank bottom 100 can be increased, thereby improving the bearing capacity. In addition, the length and number of the frame force transmission plate 300 and the contact area with the tank bottom 100 can be optimized according to the actual load condition and stiffness requirements of the arrow body.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the utility model, the small end frame 200 of the frame can be a hollow frustum, wherein the upper end surface is circular and has a plurality of bolt holes for installing the engine, and the lower end surface extends laterally outward to form a connecting ring plate for connecting the frame force transmission plate 300.
[0037] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a boss 201 is provided at a position where the frame small end frame 200 abuts against the frame force transmission plate 300 for bearing radial force.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the height of the frame force transmission plate 300 (i.e., the distance from the frame force transmission plate 300 to the surface of the top cover 101 or the melon slice 102 ) continuously decreases from the top cover 101 to the melon slice 102 .
[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the end of the frame force transmission plate 300 close to the center of the top cover 101 is the first end, and the first ends of several frame force transmission plates 300 are connected and fixed by a small ring frame 301 .
[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cross section of the frame force transmission plate 300 is T-shaped, and a reinforcing rib 302 is provided near the first end.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the frame force transmission plate 300 is connected to the box bottom 100 via the force transmission plate angle piece 303, wherein the inner profile of the force transmission plate angle piece 303 is in contact with the outer profile of the box bottom 100. When the reinforcing rib 302 is provided, the two ends of the reinforcing rib 302 are fixedly connected to the frame force transmission plate 300 and the force transmission plate angle piece 303, respectively.
[0042] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the force transmission plate angle piece 303 is divided into a first angle piece and a second angle piece, and the frame force transmission plate 300 is connected to the top cover 101 through the first angle piece and the second angle piece; it also includes a third angle piece and a fourth angle piece, and the frame force transmission plate 300 is connected to the melon segment 102 through the third angle piece and the fourth angle piece.
[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, there are 12 frame force transmission plates 300 in total, and each group of 3 is divided into 4 groups and evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.
[0044] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the portion of each group of three frame force transmission plates 300 close to the edge of the top cover 101 (ie, the approximate middle position of the frame force transmission plates) is also connected and fixed by a large ring frame 304 .
[0045] Specifically, the frame small end frame 200 and the small ring frame 301 are connected to the frame force transfer plate 300 by bolts. The material of the frame small end frame 200, the small ring frame 301 and the frame force transfer plate 300 can be selected to be aluminum alloy. The frame small end frame 200 is a hollow frustum, and a plurality of bolt holes are arranged on its upper end surface, so that the engine and the frame small end frame 200 can be connected. The lower end surface of the frame small end frame 200 is designed to extend laterally outward to form a circular connecting ring plate, and bolt holes are evenly arranged on the connecting ring plate for connecting with the upper part of the first end of the frame force transfer plate 300 by bolts. Among them, the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the frame small end frame 200 are described in the installation position with the box bottom 100 at the bottom, and the spatial position is only used for convenience of description.
[0046] The height of the frame force transmission plate 300 decreases continuously from the top cover 101 to the melon slice 102, that is, the height of the frame force transmission plate 300 is the largest at the first end close to the center of the top cover 101. The small ring frame 301 is bolted to the first ends of the 12 frame force transmission plates 300 on the bottom 100 at the middle position in the vertical direction, that is, each frame force transmission plate 300 is connected in series through the small ring frame 301, thereby improving the anti-instability ability of the frame force transmission plate 300 and the bearing capacity of the bottom 100.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, a boss 201 is designed below the connecting ring plate of the frame small end frame 200 to cooperate with the frame force transmission plate 300, and a concave surface above the first end of the frame force transmission plate 300 is designed to cooperate with the boss 201, which is used to bear and transmit the radial force transmitted to the frame force transmission plate 300 by the frame small end frame 200, thereby increasing the strength of the tank bottom structure. The frame force transmission plate 300 adopts a "T"-shaped cross-section structure with strong anti-instability, and a reinforcing rib 302 is provided at the frame force transmission plate 300 near the frame small end frame 200 to further improve the rigidity of the tank bottom.
[0048] In one embodiment, the assembly of the small end frame 200 of the frame, the small ring frame 301 and the frame force transmission plate 300 is connected to the force transmission plate angle piece 303 welded to the bottom 100 by bolts. The roughly middle position of each group of three frame force transmission plates 300 is connected and fixed by a large ring frame 304, and the bottom of the large ring frame 304 is connected to the large ring frame angle piece of the bottom 100 of the box by bolts. A notch is designed at the intersection of the large ring frame 304 and the frame force transmission plate 300, and a suitable angle piece can be selected to connect the frame force transmission plate 300 and the large ring frame 304.
[0049] It should be noted that the frame force transmission plate 300 and the large ring frame 304 can be connected to the box bottom 100 through angle pieces, and the force transmission plate angle piece 303 and the large ring frame angle piece need to be welded to the box bottom 100, wherein the inner profile of the angle piece fits the outer profile of the box bottom 100. For example, the force transmission plate angle piece 303 and the large ring frame angle piece can be welded when the box bottom 100 is intact, wherein the force transmission plate angle piece 303 can also be welded when the box bottom 100 is in the state of parts, that is, when the top cover 101 and the melon slice 102 are separated.
[0050] As an example, the force transmission plate angle piece 303 is composed of the first angle piece, the second angle piece, the third angle piece, and the fourth angle piece from the top cover 101 to the melon segment 102. The first angle piece and the second angle piece are used to be welded to the top cover 101, and the third angle piece and the fourth angle piece are used to be welded to the melon segment 102. Optionally, the first angle piece and the fourth angle piece are respectively welded to the melon segment 102 and the top cover 101 by resistance spot welding or laser stitch welding when the melon segment 102 and the top cover 101 are in the component state. Since the melon segment 102 and the top cover 101 require welding and clamping tooling when welding, which interferes with the second angle piece and the third angle piece, the second angle piece and the third angle piece can be selected to be welded when the box bottom 100 is in the whole bottom state.
[0051] As one of the embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, a servo bracket 400 is provided on the upper end surface of the frame force transmission plate 300 for connecting the servo actuator. The servo bracket 400 is composed of a servo mounting seat 401, a first support rod 402, a second support rod 402, a third support rod 402, a fourth support rod 402, and a first connecting seat 403, a second connecting seat 403, a third connecting seat 403, and a fourth connecting seat 403 corresponding to each support rod 402. A servo actuator connection interface is provided on the servo mounting seat 401, and the servo actuator is used to control the swing of the engine. Left-handed and right-handed internal threads are provided on both sides of the four support rods 402, and left-handed and right-handed external threads are provided on the servo mounting seat 401 and the four connecting seats 403. The two ends of the four support rods 402 are respectively connected to the servo mounting seat 401 and the four connecting seats 403 by threaded connection, and the position of the servo mounting seat 401 is adjusted by the screwing depth of the left-handed and right-handed threads to ensure the installation accuracy of the servo actuator. The servo bracket 400 is connected to the upper end surface of the frame force transmission plate 300 by bolts. The servo bracket 400 adopts a structural form of four support rods 402, and the four support rods 402 are respectively installed on the upper end surfaces of each group of three frame force transmission plates 300, which expands the force bearing area of the box bottom 100 and improves the rigidity of the servo bracket 400.
[0052] The above are only 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 in the protection scope of the present invention.
