[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] Depend on Figures 1 to 8A shell 1 and a pneumatic assembly placed in the shell 1 are provided, wherein the shell 1 includes two symmetrically distributed support beams 2 as the main pod support members, a connecting frame 3 is fixed between the two support beams 2, the front and rear ends of the support beam 2 are respectively fixedly connected with a front skin 4 and a rear skin 5, and the sides of the two support beams 2 are fixedly provided with side panels 6, the pneumatic assembly includes a gas tank 7, a control box 8 located inside the shell 1 is provided on one side of the gas tank 7, the control box 8 is electrically connected to the gas tank 7, two cooling pipes 9 penetrating the front skin 4 are fixedly connected to the gas outlet of the gas tank 7, a cable 10 penetrating the front skin 4 is provided on the control box 8, a socket 11 penetrating the rear skin 5 is provided on the control box 8, the socket 11 is used to connect with the upper machine, and is arranged through the air pipe, the cooling pipe 9 and the control box 8. When the missile under the pod is launched, the control box 8 controls the gas tank 7 to spray cooling gas, and the cooling gas passes through the cooling pipe 9 to cool down the cradle to prevent the high temperature from affecting the subsequent work;

[0028] A plurality of locking components are arranged between the two side panels 6 and the support beam 2, and the locking components include an installation box 12 fixed to the inner side of the support beam 2, and a sliding cavity 13 is provided inside the installation box 12, and a card block 14 is slidably connected in the sliding cavity 13. In this embodiment, the cross section of the card block 14 is rectangular, and the card block 14 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity 13 by a spring. A conical block 15 is fixed to one end of the card block 14 away from the sliding cavity 13, and the cross section of the conical block 15 is a right triangle. A plurality of positioning blocks 16 that penetrate the support beam 2 are fixed on the side panel 6, and the support beam 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 16 that penetrate the support beam 2. The support beam 2 is also provided with a connection hole 27 matching the positioning block 16, and the positioning block 16 is provided with a positioning groove 17 matching the tapered block 15. When installing the side panel 6, the worker holds the side panel 6 and inserts the positioning block 16 into the connection hole 27. During the insertion process, the tapered block 15 and the clamping block 14 are squeezed and moved into the sliding cavity 13 until the side panel 6 is completely in contact with the support beam 2. At this time, the tapered block 15 is clamped into the positioning groove 17 under the action of the spring. Due to the special structure of the tapered block 15, the positioning groove 17 and the tapered block 15 form a one-way limit. There is a circular cavity 18, which is communicated with the sliding cavity 13. A connecting rod 19 coaxial with the cavity 18 is threadedly connected to the installation box 12. A pull rope 20 is fixed to the connecting rod 19. The end of the pull rope 20 away from the connecting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the block 14. The connecting rod 19 passes through the support beam 2 and is fixed with a handle 21 at one end. A plurality of through holes 22 are opened on the side plate 6. The positions of the plurality of through holes 22 are matched with the corresponding handles 21 respectively. Through the arrangement of the connecting rod 19, the handle 21 and the pull rope 20, when the side plate 6 is disassembled, it is manually rotated. The handle 21 and the pull rope 20 are pulled by the connecting rod 19 and are wrapped around the connecting rod 19, so that the block 14 and the tapered block 15 are retracted in the sliding cavity 13. The connecting rod 19 and the mounting box 12 are threadedly connected. In this embodiment, four locking assemblies are provided and distributed at the four corners of the side panel 6. All the handles 21 are rotated in turn in the above manner. When all the tapered blocks 15 are out of the positioning groove 17, the side panel 6 can be directly removed. Compared with the connection method of multiple bolts or screws, the use of locking assemblies saves time and effort, and does not require the use of specific tools to complete the disassembly.

[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, two symmetrically distributed connecting rings 23 are fixed to the bottom of the two support beams 2, and the connecting rings 23 are used to mount missile tubes. The tops of the two support beams 2 are fixed with the same connecting plate 24, and the top of the connecting plate 24 is fixed with two symmetrically distributed lifting rings 25, which are connected to the body of a drone or the like through the lifting rings 25.

[0030] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, in order to facilitate the extrusion fit between the positioning block 16 and the conical block 15, the end of the positioning block 16 away from the side plate 6 is an arc surface. Through the setting of the arc surface, when the positioning block 16 is inserted into the connecting hole 27, the arc surface of the positioning block 16 contacts the inclined surface of the conical block 15, so that the conical block 15 retracts into the sliding cavity 13 more smoothly.

[0031] In order to facilitate workers to operate the handle 21 , the thickness of the handle 21 is greater than the thickness of the side plate 6 .

[0032] refer to Figure 1 As shown, a hatch 26 is provided on one side of the front end skin 4. Through the setting of the hatch 26, after opening the hatch 26, the hand can be put in to facilitate the operation between the cooling pipe 9 and the missile barrel.

[0033] When the utility model is used:

[0034] First, the pod is connected to the upper machine through the lifting ring 25, and the pod establishes a signal connection with the upper machine through the socket 11. Two symmetrically distributed missiles are suspended under the pod, and the launch signal is transmitted to the control box 8 inside the pod through the upper machine. The control box 8 transmits the launch signal to the missile tube through the cable 10;

[0035] Then, when the missile is launched, the control box 8 sends a cooling command to the gas tank 7, and the cooling pipe 9 cools the missile tube;

[0036] Secondly, when inflating the gas cylinder 7, the worker turns the handle 21 of the locking assembly in turn. After turning the handle 21, the conical block 15 inside the locking assembly and the positioning block 16 on the side plate 6 are released from the limit. After all the conical blocks 15 are released from the corresponding positioning blocks 16, the side plate 6 can be directly removed. It should be noted that when inflating the gas cylinder 7, only one of the side plates 6 needs to be opened;

[0037] Finally, when the gas cylinder 7 is fully inflated, the control handle 21 is rotated in the opposite direction to restore, and the worker holds the side panel 6 to insert the positioning block 16 into the corresponding connecting hole 27 on the support beam 2. During the insertion of the positioning block 16, the conical block 15 is squeezed and moves into the sliding cavity 13. When the side panel 6 is completely in contact with the support beam 2, the conical block 15 is immediately inserted into the interior of the positioning groove 17. At this time, the side panel 6 is completely fixed.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
