[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See also Figure 1-9 A composite front cover of a missile launch tube, comprising a front cover body 1, wherein the outer surface of the front cover body 1 is processed with cross weakening grooves 5 arranged in a cross pattern; the periphery of the front cover body 1 is processed with annular weakening grooves 4 arranged in an annular pattern; the front cover body 1 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the tube body through a peripheral pressure ring 2; a spring steel sheet 8 is pre-embedded inside the connecting end of the front cover body 1 and the pressure ring 2, and the spring steel sheet 8 is evenly arranged in the circumferential direction at the middle part of the outer circumference of the four petals of the front cover body 1. By arranging the cross weakening groove 5 and the annular weakening groove 4 on the front cover body 1, it is convenient for subsequent missiles to break through the front cover body 1 and form a petal structure, so that the missile can fly out from the center, and the spring steel sheet 8 inside it ensures that the petal structure will not scatter or splash, thereby ensuring safety and facilitating subsequent recovery.

[0033] Furthermore, the front cover body 1 is made of resin-based carbon fiber reinforced material as the main material. Through the above main material, combined with the cross weakening groove 5 and the annular weakening groove 4 on its outer surface, it is ensured that it can be divided into four petals under the action of external force, and then opened, which is convenient for the front cover body 1 to break through the petals and flip the petals.

[0034] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the front cover body 1 is processed with cover body through holes 7 arranged in a circumference, and the cover body through holes 7 match the pressing ring through holes 3 on the pressing ring 2 and match the threaded holes at the front end of the cylinder. Through the above-mentioned matching structure, it is ensured that the front cover body 1 can be reliably fixed and installed at the front end of the cylinder through the pressing ring 2.

[0035] Furthermore, a top socket structure 6 for positioning and guiding the missile warhead is provided at the center of the inner surface of the front cover body 1. The top socket structure 6 facilitates the positioning and guiding of the missile warhead.

[0036] Furthermore, the top socket structure 6 is made of a silicone material to prevent the missile from breaking through the front cover and scratching the surface of the missile body during the launch process.

[0037] Furthermore, the spring steel sheet 8 adopts an integrated structure, including an arc-shaped sheet 803 for matching with the pressure ring 2, a matching hole 804 is processed on the arc-shaped sheet 803, and the middle part of the inner arc of the arc-shaped sheet 803 is connected to the transverse sheet 801 through a connecting sheet 802. The spring steel sheet 8 ensures that after the front cover body 1 is torn, its four-petal structure can still be connected between the pressure plate and the cylinder, and can be automatically turned back to the cover later.

[0038] Furthermore, the spring steel sheet 8 is made of 65Mn plate. Made of the above materials, it is guaranteed to have a certain rebound effect.

[0039] Furthermore, the front cover body 1 is formed in one piece by a mold, and a special forming mold is designed. The carbon fiber prepreg is laid on the mold in layers to make a vacuum bag. The front cover body 1 uses USN15000 carbon fiber prepreg as the main material. According to the structure and stress characteristics of the cylinder, the composite layer structure of the front cover takes the length direction of the cylinder as the 0° direction, and pre-lays the carbon fiber prepreg on the surface of the mold body in the order of 0°, 90°, 45°, and -45°. After pre-laying, the subsequent processes such as pre-setting and hot pressing of embedded parts are carried out. It has high specific strength and high specific modulus, high strength, and the tensile strength in the 0-degree fiber direction can reach 2300MPa. It is light in weight and has a density of 1.8g / cm 3 It has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, high impact resistance and good fatigue resistance.

[0040] Working process and principle of this utility model:

[0041] First, the front cover body 1 is positioned at the front end of the cylinder, and the top socket structure 6 is ensured to be located inside the cylinder, thereby realizing the positioning of the missile warhead. Then, the front cover body 1 is fixed to the front end of the cylinder by bolts and a pressure ring 2. During the missile launching process, the front cover body 1 will be torn along the cross weakening groove 5 and the annular weakening groove 4 under the action of impact. At the same time, the missile will be protected by the top socket structure 6 during the launch process of breaking through the front cover to prevent scratches on the surface of the missile body.
