[0015] The following is a detailed description of a small intelligent ammunition vertical launch device according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] This utility model is a small intelligent ammunition vertical launch device, see Figure 1The launch box 1 comprises a launch box 1, multiple modular launch tubes 2 mounted on the launch box 1, and a weapon station fire control system—a fire control computer 7—installed on the launch box 1. The launch box 1's frame is constructed from angle steel, with an aluminum sheet exterior welded from C-shaped steel. The simple structure and low center of gravity ensure overall stability during launch.

[0017] See also Figure 2 The launch tube 2 of the present invention is provided with a front sealing cover 8 at one end of the cold ejection tube 9 and a buffer airtight chamber 11 at the other end. A connector separation device 10 is provided on the cold ejection tube 9. The positioning hole at the rear end of the buffer airtight chamber 11 is constrained and fixed by the positioning pin on the bottom plate of the launch box 1. A launch tube power source is provided in the launch tube 2. The front sealing cover 8 is made of non-metallic material and has prefabricated grooves engraved inside. It can be broken by the impact of the missile inside. The cold ejection tube 9 is usually used as a storage space for ammunition and is used for cold ejection vertical launch of ammunition in wartime. The connector separation device 10 is used to retract the electromagnetic connector 20 in time when an incident occurs, to prevent the electromagnetic connector 20 from affecting the movement of the piston 14 in the cold ejection tube 9. The buffer airtight chamber 11 temporarily stores the high-pressure gas generated by the gas generator to ensure that the piston 14 accumulates sufficient pressure before the locking screw 18 is pulled off.

[0018] See also Figure 3 The power source of the launch tube of the present invention includes a buffer airtight chamber 11, an airtight chamber tail end cover 12, a mooring cable 13, a piston 14, a gas generator compression screw 15, a gas generator 16, a piston support 17, and a bullet locking screw 18. The buffer airtight chamber 11 is a container for temporarily storing the high-pressure gas generated by the gas generator. The airtight chamber tail end cover 12 is provided inside the buffer airtight chamber 11. The gas generator 16 is installed inside the airtight chamber tail end cover 12, and the gas generator compression screw 15 is used to compress and fix the gas generator 16, which also serves as a seal at the rear end of the airtight chamber. The piston support 17 is installed on the buffer airtight chamber 11 and is used to fix the piston 14. It also has the task of fixing the missile in the tube. One end of the mooring cable 13 is fixed to the piston support 17, and the other end is fixed to the piston 14. It is used to moor the piston 14 inside the cold ejection tube 9 after the missile is ejected, preventing the piston 14 from flying out and hitting surrounding equipment or personnel, and also allowing it to be reused. The bullet locking screw 18 is used to fix the missile in the tube and the piston 14 on the piston support 17. When the missile is launched, high-pressure gas accumulates at a certain pressure before the bullet locking screw 18 is pulled off, providing the initial velocity of the piston during ejection.

[0019] See also Figure 4The connector separation device 10 of the present invention includes a reset spring 19, an electromagnetic connector 20, a guide rod 21, a plug-in / out limit cylinder 22, a micro switch 23, a connector separation box cover 24, a rectangular connector plug 25, and a connector separation box 26. The plug-in / out limit cylinder 22 is connected to the upper inner part of one end of the connector separation box 24, and the micro switch 23 is connected to the upper inner part of the plug-in / out limit cylinder 22. The plug-in / out limit cylinder 22 plays a guiding role in the recovery of the electromagnetic connector 20. The micro switch 23 will be triggered after the electromagnetic connector 20 is recovered into place, and an electrical signal will be given to indicate that the missile can be launched. Two guide rods 21 are located within this end of the connector separation box 24. One end of each guide rod 21 is connected to the bottom of the connector separation box 24, and the other end passes through a plug-in / plug-out limiter 22 and connects to the top of the connector separation box 24. The electromagnetic connector 20 is mounted on both guide rods 21. Return springs 19 are located on each guide rod between the electromagnetic connector 20 and the bottom of the connector separation box 24. These return springs 19 and guide rods 21 are primarily used to quickly retract the electromagnetic connector 20 into the connector separation device 10 after it is separated from the missile's socket. A rectangular connector plug 25, located on the connector separation box 24, is connected to the electromagnetic connector 20 and is used for communication with the launch box.

[0020] The fire control computer 7 of the present invention is installed at the bottom of the launch box, integrating functional units such as ammunition adapter, high-precision inertial navigation, satellite positioning, weapon station integrated power management, data link, etc. Upward, it integrates with the multi-functional ground station through the data link, receives fire control and target information, generates shooting parameters, and guides the local fire strike system to strike the target; downward, it completes key combat functions such as ammunition selection, ammunition shooting parameter binding, launch control, and weapon station status management according to upper-level command information.

[0021] The present invention also includes a data link antenna 3, a satellite positioning antenna 4, a socket support plate 5, and an integrated power management module 6 on the launch box 1. The socket support plate 5 is equipped with a connector socket corresponding to the launch tube connector disconnect device 10. The integrated power management module 6 and the fire control computer 7 are mounted on the side of the base of the launch box 1, and electrical / signal interfaces are reserved for convenient and rapid electrical and signal connections with other devices.

[0022] The typical use process of the small intelligent ammunition vertical launch device of the utility model is as follows:

[0023] When loading the missile, the launch tube 2 and connector disconnect device 10 are pre-installed. The missile is aligned with the piston 14 and pushed backward into the ejection tube 9 until it reaches the unplugging position. The locking screw 18 is then used to lock the piston 14 and the missile. The gas generator 16, its gas generator compression screw 15, and the airlock tail cover 12 are installed in sequence at the rear. The front sealing cover 8 is then tightened at the front to complete the missile loading. The loaded launch tube 2 is then installed and secured within the launch box 1, and the electrical connection is completed. The launch box, with the loaded launch tube 2, is then mounted on a small unmanned boat platform, and the external electrical and power supply interfaces are connected to complete the launcher installation.

[0024] During use, personnel can use a multi-functional ground station to remotely communicate and command the vertical launch system via a data link. Before preparing for launch, the fire control computer 7 receives fire control and target information, generates firing parameters, and sets the ammunition firing parameters. During launch, the fire control computer 7 sends a launch command, the electromagnetic connector 20 automatically disengages, and the connector separation box 26 is retracted under the action of the return spring 19. At the same time, the microswitch 23 is triggered, providing an ignition signal 16 to the gas generator 16. The gas generator 16 rapidly generates a large amount of gas, which accumulates in the buffer chamber 11. When the pressure in the buffer chamber 11 reaches a certain value, it pushes the piston 14 to break the bullet locking screw 18. The piston 14 then rapidly pushes the missile to break through the front sealing cover 8 and eject it from the cold ejection tube 9, completing the missile launch.

[0025] The utility model integrates the launch tube 2, the launch box 1 and the weapon station fire control system into a whole, thereby improving the reuse rate of the launch control system, positioning guidance and communication device, reducing the cost of use, reducing the dependence on the electrical system of the loading platform, improving flexibility, being able to use multi-platform devices, and being able to accurately and reliably perform mechanical, electrical and signal connections with the launch system and positioning / communication system.
