[0026] For those skilled in the art, the utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the utility model by showing examples of the utility model.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 The utility model provides a kind of swing hose at least including bellows 1, connecting portion 2 and periodically arranged in bellows 1 reinforcing ring 3.Reinforcing ring 3 is embedded in the trough of bellows 1, that is, reinforcing ring 3 is fixedly installed in several troughs on the outer wall of bellows 1, and the inner side of reinforcing ring 3 is adapted to the trough shape of bellows 1.The outer side of reinforcing ring 3 can be curved surface structure, plane structure or other structure meeting installation requirements, which can be determined according to the use scene of swing hose.In the embodiment, reinforcing ring 3 is solid ring structure, and the outer side is arc structure, coaxially arranged with bellows 1.

[0028] The connecting part 2 is arranged at both ends of the bellows 1 and used for connecting the bellows with external equipment. The connecting part 2 is in a circular ring structure, and the outer side of the side close to the bellows 1 is arranged beyond the wave crest of the bellows 1, so as to prevent the bellows from being damaged when the swing hose is connected and installed. The connecting part 2 can be a welded joint fixedly arranged at both ends of the bellows 1, and both ends of the bellows 1 are fixed with the welded joint by welding.

[0029] In the embodiment, the reinforcing ring 3 can be an O-shaped ring. The O-shaped reinforcing ring 3 mainly contacts the bellows 1 and bears the radial pressure of the bellows 1. The O-shaped reinforcing ring is currently formed by welding metal (such as stainless steel), and due to the strict size and shape requirements, the production cycle of the O-shaped reinforcing ring is long and the cost is high. In order to overcome the above technical problems, the swing hose of the utility model selects a composite material to manufacture the reinforcing ring. The composite material reinforcing ring has the characteristics of high strength and high modulus, and can improve the pressure bearing capacity of the hose when applied to the swing hose. Compared with the metal reinforcing ring, the composite material reinforcing ring has the advantages of simple forming, low density, light weight, large elastic modulus and low manufacturing cost, and also has the possibility of repeated use.

[0030] The forming process of the composite material reinforcing ring is as follows: a hot-pressing mold is processed according to the size accuracy requirements of the O-shaped reinforcing ring, and a continuous fiber prepreg is laid in the mold. It should be noted that the continuity of the fiber should be ensured during the laying process. After the laying is completed, the mold is hot-pressed and cured to form.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2 Further, the carbon fiber has high strength and high modulus, but poor wear resistance, and the aramid fiber has poor mechanical properties but excellent wear resistance. Therefore, the aramid fiber and the carbon fiber are used in a certain proportion in the embodiment. For example, the reinforcing ring at least includes an aramid fiber layer 31 and a carbon fiber layer 32, and the aramid fiber layer 31 and the carbon fiber layer 32 are formed by ultra-low temperature epoxy resin curing. Specifically, during the forming process of the reinforcing ring 3, the outer ring (the outer layer of the axial section of the reinforcing ring 3) uses 110D aramid II fiber prepreg (aramid fiber soaked in ultra-low temperature epoxy resin in advance), and the core (the inner layer of the axial section of the reinforcing ring 3) uses T300 carbon fiber prepreg (carbon fiber soaked in ultra-low temperature epoxy resin in advance). After the aramid fiber and the carbon fiber are filled into the forming mold, they are hot-pressed and formed. The reinforcing ring of the embodiment has a high fiber ratio, and the total fiber ratio of the reinforcing ring is about 45% to 60%. It should be noted that the ratio of the carbon fiber and the aramid fiber in the embodiment is about 3:7.

[0032] The swing hose of the utility model adopts a composite material reinforcing ring with a diameter of 4.5 mm, and the thickness of the aramid fiber layer is 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

[0033] In order to increase the bearing capacity of the reinforcing ring, carbon fiber layers can be filled with carbon fiber long fibers (prepregs), and aramid fiber layers can be filled with aramid long fibers (prepregs), which are cut and machined into the required circular cross-section after curing and molding.

[0034] The swinging hose in the embodiment of the utility model can be used for pump front swing and pump rear swing. The outer side of the swinging hose of the pump rear swing is usually provided with a flexible mesh cover. In order to avoid abrasion between the outer side of the corrugated hose and the flexible mesh cover, the reinforcing ring applied to the pump rear swing can be set as an armored ring, and the outer ring of the reinforcing ring protrudes from the wave crest of the corrugated hose.

[0035] In any one of the above embodiments, the swinging hose of the utility model further comprises a flexible mesh cover. The flexible mesh cover is sleeved on the outer side of the corrugated hose, and the axial two ends are tightly fixed by the welding joint. In order to ensure that the flexible mesh cover has the advantages of high elasticity and light weight, for example, the material of the flexible mesh cover can be carbon fiber. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the structure of the flexible mesh cover, for example, the flexible mesh cover can be woven by carbon fiber and flexible low-temperature resin.

[0036] The above embodiments can be combined with each other and have corresponding technical effects.

[0037] The utility model also provides a space flight engine. The space flight engine of the embodiment at least includes the swinging hose in any one of the above embodiments.

[0038] The swinging hose and the space flight engine of the utility model adopt the composite reinforcing ring, greatly increase the pressure-bearing capacity of the swinging hose, improve the service life of the swinging hose, and reduce the weight and manufacturing cost of the swinging hose and the space flight engine.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
