Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of launcher technology, and in particular to a multi-rocket launcher. Background Technology

[0002] A multiple rocket launcher is a weapon system capable of launching multiple rockets simultaneously or sequentially. It mainly consists of multiple launch tubes, a support structure, an angle adjustment structure, and a launch system. These launch tubes are combined and, through a rational layout, can deliver a large number of rockets to a target area in a short time, achieving powerful fire coverage.

[0003] Existing multi-launch rocket systems typically have elevation and horizontal adjustment mechanisms located below the launch tubes. This increases the vertical height, which becomes particularly noticeable in systems with a dozen or more launch tubes, resulting in poor concealment. This not only requires more space for installation and storage but also impacts the overall layout and stability of platforms such as vehicles and ships. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to propose a multi-rocket launcher that aims to reduce the height of the multi-rocket launcher.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a multi-rocket launcher, comprising:

[0006] A rotating frame includes a rotating base, a fixed base, and two opposing support plates. The rotating base has mounting holes, and the fixed base is rotatably mounted within the mounting holes. The two support plates are disposed on the rotating base, and are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting holes.

[0007] The transmitter assembly includes a mounting frame and multiple transmitter tubes, the multiple transmitter tubes being mounted on the mounting frame, the mounting frame being located between two support plates, and the opposite ends of the mounting frame being rotatably mounted on the two support plates.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting bracket includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, and a plurality of connecting rods. One end of the plurality of connecting rods is fixed to the first mounting plate, and the other end is fixed to the second mounting plate. The first mounting plate is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes, and the second mounting plate is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to each of the first mounting holes. Each of the transmitting tubes is mounted through one of the first mounting holes and one of the second mounting holes.

[0009] Optionally, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a limiting device, which includes a mounting base, a limiting pin, and a first return spring. The mounting base is mounted on the second mounting plate, and the limiting pin is movably disposed on the mounting base. The limiting pin has a locked position and a non-locking position. In the locked position, the limiting pin at least partially passes through the tube body of the launch tube. In the non-locking position, the limiting pin is spaced apart from the launch tube. The first return spring abuts against the end of the limiting pin and has an elastic deformation that drives the limiting pin to move from the non-locking position to the locked position.

[0010] Optionally, the limiting device further includes a control handle and a first gear, the first gear being sleeved on the control handle, and the limiting pin having a rack portion that meshes with the first gear.

[0011] Optionally, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a first drive device, which includes a drive motor, a second gear, and a third gear. A rotating rod extending toward the adjacent support plate is provided on one side of the mounting bracket. The third gear is fixed to the rotating rod. The drive motor is mounted on one of the support plates. The second gear is connected to the rotating shaft of the drive motor and meshes with the third gear.

[0012] Optionally, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a second drive unit for driving the rotating base to rotate relative to the fixed base.

[0013] Optionally, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a locking device, which includes a locking pin and a second return spring. The locking pin is movably mounted on the rotating frame, and the second return spring is located on one side of the locking pin and has an elastic deformation that causes the locking pin to abut against the mounting frame.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided between the rotating seat and the two support plates.

[0015] Optionally, a plurality of the launching tubes are mounted on the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate by threaded fasteners.

[0016] Optionally, multiple of the transmitting tubes are arranged in a matrix on the mounting frame.

[0017] This utility model's technical solution involves setting up a rotating frame and a launch tube assembly. The rotating frame includes a rotating base, a fixed base, and two support plates. The rotating base has mounting holes, and the fixed base is rotatably mounted within these holes. The two support plates are positioned on opposite sides of the rotating base and the fixed base. The launch tube assembly includes a mounting frame and multiple launch tubes. The multiple launch tubes are mounted on the mounting frame, which is rotatably mounted between the two support plates. By rotating the mounting frame, the pitch angle of the launch tubes can be adjusted. After the fixed base is fixed to the platform, the rotating base can rotate relative to the fixed base, thereby adjusting the horizontal orientation of the multiple launch tubes. Compared to setting pitch and horizontal adjustment structures below the launch tube assembly, placing the pitch adjustment structures on both sides of the launch tube assembly reduces the height of the multiple rocket launcher, improving its concealment when mounted on platforms such as automobiles or ships.

[0031] This utility model proposes a multi-rocket launch device.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the multi-rocket launcher includes a rotating frame 10 and a launch tube assembly 20. The rotating frame 10 includes a rotating base 11, a fixed base 13, and two opposing support plates 12. The rotating base 11 has mounting holes, the fixed base 13 is rotatably mounted in the mounting holes, and the two support plates 12 are located on the rotating base 11, with the two support plates 12 respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting holes. The launch tube assembly 20 includes a mounting frame 21 and multiple launch tubes 22. The multiple launch tubes 22 are mounted on the mounting frame 21, which is located between the two support plates 12, and the opposite ends of the mounting frame 21 are rotatably mounted on the two support plates 12.

[0033] Specifically, in use, the multiple rocket launcher is mounted on a platform such as a car or ship. The mounting base 13 is fixed to the platform, allowing the rotating frame 10 to rotate relative to the mounting base 13, thereby adjusting the horizontal orientation of the multiple launch tubes 22. The launch tube assembly 20 is rotatably mounted between two support plates 12, allowing the pitch angle of the multiple launch tubes 22 to be adjusted by rotating the mounting bracket 21. This enables both pitch and horizontal adjustment of the multiple launch tubes 22, thereby adjusting the launch direction of the rockets within the launch tubes 22.

[0034] This utility model's technical solution involves setting up a rotating frame 10 and a launch tube assembly 20. The rotating frame 10 includes a rotating base 11, a fixed base 13, and two support plates 12. The rotating base 11 has mounting holes, and the fixed base 13 is rotatably mounted in the mounting holes. The two support plates 12 are located on the rotating base 11 and on opposite sides of the fixed base 13. The launch tube assembly 20 includes a mounting frame 21 and multiple launch tubes 22. The multiple launch tubes 22 are mounted on the mounting frame 21, which is rotatably mounted between the two support plates 12. By rotating the mounting frame 21, the pitch angle of the launch tubes 22 can be adjusted. After the fixed base 13 is fixed to the platform, the rotating base 11 can rotate relative to the fixed base 13, thereby adjusting the horizontal orientation of the multiple launch tubes 22. Compared to setting pitch and horizontal adjustment structures below the launch tube assembly 20, placing the pitch adjustment structures on both sides of the launch tube assembly 20 reduces the height of the multiple rocket launch device, improving its concealment when mounted on platforms such as automobiles or ships.

[0035] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 21 includes a first mounting plate 211, a second mounting plate 212, and a plurality of connecting rods 213. One end of each connecting rod 213 is fixed to the first mounting plate 211, and the other end is fixed to the second mounting plate 212. The first mounting plate 211 has a plurality of first mounting holes, and the second mounting plate 212 has a second mounting hole corresponding to each first mounting hole. Each transmitter tube 22 is mounted through one first mounting hole and one second mounting hole. Specifically, each transmitter tube 22 is mounted through the first mounting plate 211 and the second mounting plate 212, and the first mounting plate 211 and the second mounting plate 212 are fixed by the plurality of connecting rods 213. Compared with forming a mounting structure for multiple transmitter tubes 22 on a solid structure, if a transmitter tube 22 is damaged, the damaged transmitter tube 22 can be replaced individually, which is convenient for maintenance. Moreover, the structure of the mounting bracket 21 is simpler and the heat dissipation effect is better.

[0036] In some embodiments, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a limiting device 30, which includes a mounting base 31, a limiting pin 32, and a first return spring 33. The mounting base 31 is mounted on a second mounting plate 212. The limiting pin 32 is movably disposed on the mounting base 31. The limiting pin 32 has a locked position and a non-locking position. In the locked position, the limiting pin 32 passes at least partially through the tube body of the launch tube 22. In the non-locking position, the limiting pin 32 is spaced apart from the launch tube 22. The first return spring 33 abuts against the end of the limiting pin 32. The first return spring 33 has an elastic deformation that drives the limiting pin 32 from the non-locking position to the locked position. Specifically, after the launch tube 22 is installed in place, under the action of the first return spring 33, the limiting pin 32 is in the locked position, at least partially passing through the tube body of the launch tube 22, limiting the launch tube 22 and fixing it to the mounting bracket 21. At the same time, the limiting pin 32 can also limit the rocket launcher inside the launch tube 22, preventing the rocket launcher from shifting inside the launch tube 22 before launch. This locked state ensures that before rocket launch, the launch tube 22 and the rocket inside the launch tube 22 will not shift due to vibration, impact or other external forces, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the launch. Furthermore, when it is necessary to install, remove or adjust the launch tube 22, it is only necessary to move the limiting pin 32 from the locked position to the unlocked position to operate the launch tube 22.

[0037] In some embodiments, the limiting device 30 further includes a control handle 34 and a first gear 35. The first gear 35 is sleeved on the control handle 34, and the limiting pin 32 has a rack portion 321 that meshes with the first gear 35. Specifically, when the handle 34 rotates, it drives the first gear 35 to rotate. Since the first gear 35 meshes with the rack portion 321 on the limiting pin 32, the rotation of the first gear 35 will cause the limiting pin 32 to move away from the launching tube 22 or move the limiting pin 32 to be partially located inside the launching tube 22. In this way, the rotational motion of the control handle 34 can be converted into the linear motion of the limiting pin 32 through the rack mechanism of the first gear 35, making it easier for the operator to operate the control handle 34.

[0038] In some embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 are provided between the rotating base 11 and the two support plates 12. Specifically, when a rocket is launched, it will generate a large impact force and vibration force. By providing a plurality of reinforcing ribs 14, the connection strength between the rotating base 11 and the support plates 12 can be enhanced, these forces can be dispersed, and the structure of the entire rotating frame 10 can be made more stable and stronger, further ensuring that the multi-rocket launch device can maintain good stability under various operating conditions.

[0039] In some embodiments, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a first drive unit, which includes a drive motor, a second gear, and a third gear. A rotating rod extending towards a nearby support plate 12 is provided on one side of the mounting frame 21. The third gear is fixed to the rotating rod. The drive motor is mounted on one of the support plates 12. The second gear is connected to the drive motor's shaft and meshes with the third gear. Specifically, the drive motor is connected to an electronic control device. When the electronic control device controls the drive motor to operate, the drive motor's shaft drives the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the third gear and the rotating rod to rotate, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of the mounting frame 21. Compared to manually driving the mounting frame 21 to rotate, this first drive unit controls the pitch adjustment of the launch tube assembly 20, making the rotation of the mounting frame 21 more precise and efficient. This enhances the flexibility and accuracy of the entire launch device in angle adjustment, better meeting the launch requirements in different scenarios.

[0040] In some embodiments, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a second drive unit for driving the rotating base 11 to rotate relative to the fixed base 13. Specifically, compared to manually driving the rotating base 11 to rotate, this second drive unit controls the launch tube assembly 20 to be horizontally oriented, making the rotation of the mounting bracket 21 more precise and efficient, enhancing the flexibility and accuracy of the entire launcher in terms of angle adjustment, and better meeting the launch requirements in different scenarios.

[0041] In some embodiments, the multi-rocket launcher further includes a locking device, which includes a locking pin and a second return spring. The locking pin is movably mounted on the rotating frame 10, and the second return spring is located on one side of the locking pin and has an elastic deformation that drives the locking pin to abut against the mounting frame 21. Specifically, when the multi-rocket launcher is launched, the second return spring drives the locking pin to abut against the mounting frame 21, using friction to limit the rotation of the mounting frame 21 relative to the rotating frame 10, preventing the launch tube assembly 20 from rotating unexpectedly due to vibration or other external forces, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the launch. When it is necessary to adjust the pitch angle of the launch tube assembly 20, the limiting pin 32 can be pulled open by overcoming the elastic force of the second return spring. After the adjustment is completed, the spring will automatically push the locking pin back, causing it to abut against the mounting frame 21 again, achieving quick locking.

[0042] In some embodiments, multiple launch tubes 22 are mounted on a first mounting plate 211 and a second mounting plate 212 using threaded fasteners. Specifically, this mounting method facilitates the installation and removal of the launch tubes 22 while also ensuring the stability of the launch tubes 22.

[0043] In some embodiments, multiple launch tubes 22 are arranged in a matrix on the mounting frame 21. Specifically, this matrix arrangement can make full use of space, arranging more launch tubes 22 on a limited area of ​​the mounting frame 21, thereby improving the launch efficiency and firepower density of the launching device.

[0044] In some embodiments, flange bearings are provided on opposite sides of the two support plates 12, with one end of each flange bearing fixed to a corresponding support plate 12 and the other end fixed to the mounting bracket 21.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
