Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of solid rocket engine manufacturing, in particular to a sand core mold suitable for a composite material shell with a small diameter and a large aspect ratio. Background Art

[0002] At present, composite materials are widely used in the production of solid rocket engine shells, and sand core molds are required for the production of composite material shells. Existing sand core molds mostly adopt a split-flap structure. For small-diameter composite material shells, the split-flap sand core mold further loses its advantage. The reason is that the core shaft, one of the components of the sand core mold, has to bear the weight of the entire core mold during the use of the core mold, thereby causing flexural deformation. If the flexural deformation is large and accompanied by the rotational motion of winding, the entire core mold will vibrate, making winding impossible.

[0003] Therefore, the core shaft of the sand core mold must have a certain diameter to ensure sufficient rigidity. For a small-diameter composite shell, the diameter of the sand core mold's core shaft is comparable to the required diameter for sufficient rigidity. The sand core will completely fill the space between the composite shell and the core shaft, resulting in an increased contact area and making it very difficult to remove the core shaft. In general, existing split-flap sand core molds are less suitable for small-diameter composite shells. Utility Model Content

[0042] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all components in the present invention are components known in the prior art.

[0043] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and all equivalent modifications made on the basis of the technical solution of this application fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] like Figure 1-7As shown, a sand core mold suitable for composite material shells with small diameter and large aspect ratio is characterized by comprising a barrel sand core 1, with end sand cores 4 fixedly connected to both ends of the barrel sand core 1, a core shaft 2 penetrating the barrel sand core 1, and a plurality of barrel sand core longitudinal ribs 3 extending along the length direction evenly distributed on the inner wall of the barrel sand core 1; and end sand core longitudinal ribs 5 corresponding to the barrel sand core longitudinal ribs 3 are provided on the inner wall of the end sand core 4.

[0045] The left and right ends of the core shaft 2 extend out of the barrel sand core 1. The core shaft 2 is provided with sand consolidation grooves 6 along the length direction, the number of which is the same as the longitudinal ribs 3 of the barrel sand core. The specifications of the sand consolidation grooves 6 match the longitudinal ribs 3 of the barrel sand core. A plurality of through holes 7 are evenly opened along the length direction between two adjacent sand consolidation grooves 6 in the middle of the core shaft 2.

[0046] The core shaft 2 is a hollow structure, and the two ends of the core shaft 2 are connected to a clamping portion 8 that can be connected to an external clamping device; the clamping portion 8 has a water injection channel 9 in communication with the interior of the core shaft 2;

[0047] The end surface of the clamping portion 8 is also connected to a pipe nozzle 10 that is in sealed communication with the water injection channel 9 .

[0048] The sand core mold of the utility model is suitable for composite material shells with small diameter and large aspect ratio. In view of the stress characteristics of the core shaft 2 during the molding of composite material shells with small diameter in the existing technology, the petal-type core mold structure is improved and an integrated structure of the core shaft 2, the head sand core 4 and the barrel section sand core 1 is adopted. Through structural optimization, the sand core mold can successfully complete the winding molding of composite material shells with small diameter.

[0049] Among them, the core shaft 2 is used to install and fix the barrel sand core 1. When performing the winding operation of the composite shell with a small diameter and a large aspect ratio, the external clamping device can clamp the core shaft 2 through the clamping parts 8 at both ends; when demolding, it is no longer necessary to pull the sand core mold directly out of the composite shell. It is only necessary to inject hot water into the core shaft 2 through the nozzle 10 to gradually dissolve the head sand core 4 and the barrel sand core 1, so that the head sand core 4 and the barrel sand core 1 are directly dissolved into mortar and flow out of the composite shell. This structure not only greatly increases the efficiency of demolding, but also does not cause damage to the composite shell.

[0054] The inner sleeve 13 includes a first connecting sleeve and a plurality of cover plates. The first connecting sleeve can be fixedly sleeved on the left connecting portion of the core shaft 2. The shape of the cover plate matches the shape of the area between two adjacent sand consolidation grooves 6 on the core shaft 2. The plurality of cover plates correspond one to one and seal the area between two adjacent sand consolidation grooves 6 on the core shaft 2.

[0055] The barrel section sand core female mold 12 is cylindrical, the inner diameter of the barrel section sand core female mold 12 matches the outer diameter of the barrel section sand core 1, and the length of the barrel section sand core female mold 12 is equal to that of the barrel section sand core 1;

[0056] The second connecting sleeve is mounted on the first connecting sleeve of the inner sleeve 13, and the barrel section sand core female mold 12 is mounted on the core shaft 2 through the second connecting sleeve. The shape of the area formed between the barrel section sand core female mold 12 and the core shaft 2 is the same as that of the barrel section sand core 1.

[0057] As a preferred solution, it also includes a first sealing cover plate 14, a first sealing pressure ring 15 and a second sealing cover plate 16;

[0058] The first sealing cover plate 14 is detachably mounted on the clamping portion 8 on the left side of the core shaft 2 to seal the gap between the left side of the barrel sand core female mold 12 and the core shaft 2;

[0059] The first sealing pressure ring 15 and the second sealing cover plate 16 are detachably mounted on the right connecting portion of the core shaft 2 in sequence to seal the gap between the right side of the barrel sand core female mold 12 and the core shaft 2 .

[0060] This arrangement can further achieve sealing after compacting the mortar, thereby ensuring the molding effect of the barrel sand core 1.

[0061] like Figure 10 、 11 As shown, a head sand core forming mold is used to form a head sand core 4, characterized in that it includes a head sand core male mold 17 and a head sand core female mold 18;

[0062] The shape of the area formed between the head sand core male mold 17 and the head sand core female mold 18 is the same as that of the head sand core 4 .

[0063] As a preferred solution, it further includes a second sealing pressure ring 19 and a third sealing cover plate 20;

[0064] The head sand core male die 17 is a cylindrical structure, and a plurality of muscle forming grooves 21 for forming the head sand core longitudinal muscle 5 of the head sand core 4 are formed on the head sand core male die 17. The front part of the head sand core male die 17 is coaxially connected with a plug-in part;

[0065] The head sand core female die 18 comprises a forming part and a connecting part, and the plug-in part of the head sand core male die 17 can be plugged into the connecting part of the head sand core female die 18 in a sealed manner. The shape of the area formed between the inner wall of the forming part of the head sand core female die 18 and the head sand core male die 17 is the same as that of the head sand core 4.

[0066] The second sealing compression ring 19 and the third sealing cover plate 20 are detachably sleeved on the head sand core male die 17 from the rear part of the head sand core male die 17 in sequence. The second sealing compression ring 19 is used for sealing the gap between the head sand core male die 17 and the head sand core female die 18.

[0067] Such a setting can further realize sealing after the ramming of the mortar, and ensure the forming effect of the head sand core 4.

[0068] Before the completion of winding of the solid rocket engine composite material shell, the core mold 2 is first assembled. Specifically, the head sand core 4 is bonded with the integrated structure of the mandrel 2 and the barrel segment sand core 1, and is fixed by the fixing screw sleeve 11. Then, the outer dimensions of the core mold 2 are corrected by a conventional polishing or machining method to meet the requirements of the inner surface of the composite material shell. After completion, winding is performed.

[0069] After the winding of the solid rocket engine composite material shell and the completion of the curing process, hot water is injected into the mandrel 2 through the pipe nozzle 10. The hot water enters from the pipe nozzle 10, flows through the water injection channel 9, enters the inner cavity of the mandrel 2, and then flows into the space formed by the inner surface of the barrel segment sand core 1 and the head sand core 4 and the outer surface of the mandrel 2 through the uniformly distributed through holes 7 on the mandrel 2. Here, the sand core is in full contact with the hot water, the water-soluble component (adhesive) is dissolved in water, and the entire sand core gradually collapses. The collapsed part flows out from the other end of the pipe nozzle 10 with the water, or part of it remains in the space formed by the inner surface of the barrel segment sand core 1 and the outer surface of the mandrel 2. When the entire sand core is basically completely collapsed, the mandrel 2 can be removed, and the demolding of the composite material shell is completed.
