Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a main stage and booster stage separation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Interstage separation is one of the key technologies of missiles. Its safety and stability are related to the subsequent flight of the main stage missile and directly affect the success or failure of the mission. The separation of the first and second stages of the missile is carried out under high Mach flight conditions. The separation process will be affected by various interference factors and product manufacturing deviations. These interference factors and deviations will cause large disturbances when the missile is separated. There are many types of interference factors and deviations in separation, including wind interference, engine residual thrust eccentricity and deflection, missile structure deviation, interstage aerodynamic interference during separation, asynchronism of the separation mechanism, atmospheric parameters, etc., which makes the control problem of interstage separation of the missile body very prominent. Ensuring that the separation process is controllable and the main stage missile is stable after separation is a key technology to ensure the flight mission. For example, the separation mechanism and aircraft disclosed in the publication number CN112762777A drive the separation cable to rotate relative to each other in the plane where the socket axis is located through the separation connecting rod to achieve the separation of the plug and the socket. However, due to the time difference in the rotation of the connecting rod, the connection parts of the plug and the socket cannot be separated at the same time, which will affect the flight state of the rocket after separation.
