Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solid rocket engines, in particular to a device for quickly detecting the strength of an engine nozzle plugging cover. Background Art

[0002] The nozzle plug is a critical component of solid rocket engines, typically installed at the nozzle convergence section. It not only seals, protects against dust and moisture, but also rapidly builds engine ignition pressure, shortens ignition delay, and ensures initial engine pressure buildup and thrust increase.

[0003] The cold-opening pressure test of nozzle plugs is a crucial step in nozzle plug product delivery. This test is typically performed by gluing the nozzle plugs to a fixture or nozzle. The test fixture must be designed to perfectly match the shape of the nozzle plug to be tested. Glue is injected into the gap to seal the nozzle plug to the test fixture, facilitating the cold-opening pressure test. After the test is complete, all glue stains on the test fixture and nozzle to be tested must be cleaned before the next nozzle plug can be tested. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, costly, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The utility model provides a device and method for quickly detecting the strength of a nozzle plugging cover for a solid rocket engine. When the nozzle plugging cover is opened, the method does not need to bond the nozzle plugging cover to a tooling or a nozzle, thereby reducing the bonding process, lowering the detection cost, saving labor costs, improving the detection efficiency, ensuring the rapid detection of the nozzle plugging cover product strength, and ensuring the model development node.

[0013] The first pressure measuring hole 103 and the second pressure measuring hole 104 are respectively connected to two pressure sensors for nozzle plugging and opening pressure redundancy testing.

[0014] An annular groove 105 is formed on the lower end surface of the upper end cover 1 , and the diameter of the annular groove 105 is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical cavity 101 .

[0015] The sealing gasket 4 is embedded in the annular groove 105 and is used for sealing the upper end cover 1 and the lower end cover 2 .

[0016] The nozzle plugging cover to be tested is placed in the T-shaped cavity 201 provided inside the lower end cover 2 and is pressed tightly by the fastener 3 .
