[0027] The various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail, which should not be considered as limiting the present application, but should be understood as a more detailed description of certain aspects, features and embodiments of the present application.
[0028] Various modifications and changes can be made to the specific implementation of the present application described in the specification without departing from the scope or spirit of the present application, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Other implementations of the present application will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the specification. The specification and examples of the present application are merely exemplary.
[0029] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a rocket conveying pipe structure, which comprises an elbow 1, a flange 2 and at least one reinforcing rib 3 with a curved arc. The flange 2 is located at one end of the elbow 1 and is fixedly connected with the elbow 1. One end of the reinforcing rib 3 is connected with the end face of the flange 2 close to one side of the elbow 1, and the other end of the reinforcing rib 3 is fixedly connected with the outer surface of the elbow 1 and the middle part is spaced apart from the bent part of the elbow 1. The reinforcing rib 3 is arranged on the same side of the elbow 1.
[0030] Specifically, the rocket conveying pipe structure provided by the embodiments of the present application can weaken the rigidity of the end of the reinforcing rib 3 by arranging the reinforcing rib 3 on the same side of the elbow 1 and spacing the middle part of the reinforcing rib 3 from the bent part of the elbow 1, so that the reinforcing rib 3 is more matched with the pipe 1. In addition, the reinforcing rib 3 and the pipe 1 connection can also avoid stress concentration by the structure and arrangement of the reinforcing rib, reduce the maximum stress, and transfer the maximum stress from the pipe wall\flange to the bent part of the reinforcing rib 3, so as to avoid the pipe being poked and broken, improve the reliability of the pipe 1 after being loaded, and facilitate the safe flight of the rocket.
[0031] In the same embodiment, in order to reduce the stress between the reinforcing rib 3 and the elbow pipe 1 and the flange 2, for example, the bending arc on the reinforcing rib 3 is located at the middle part of the reinforcing rib 3, and the bending arc is bent in the same direction as the elbow pipe. Through a large number of experiments and simulations, when the angle A of the bending arc satisfies 100°≤A≤160°, not only the stress between the reinforcing rib 3 and the elbow pipe 1 and the flange 2 can be reduced, but also the maximum stress of the pipeline can be quickly concentrated on the bending arc part of the reinforcing rib 3, that is, the middle part of the reinforcing rib 3, so that the pipeline 1 is prevented from being punctured, and the reliability of the pipeline 1 after being overloaded is improved.
[0032] In the same embodiment, in order to meet the hardness of the reinforcing rib 3, for example, the outer shape of the reinforcing rib 3 is approximately a long strip plate, and the thickness D of the long strip plate satisfies 2mm≤D≤10mm, so that the hardness and weight reduction requirements of the reinforcing rib 3 can be considered at the same time, and the fixed connection of the reinforcing rib 3 and the pipeline 1 is also facilitated.
[0033] In the same embodiment, in order to further improve the deformation resistance of the bending part of the pipeline 1, for example, the number C of the reinforcing ribs 3 satisfies 1≤C≤4. In actual application, in order to ensure that the bending part of the pipeline does not deform and reduce the weight of the entire pipeline system, for example, the number C of the reinforcing ribs 3 further satisfies 1≤C≤2, and fewer reinforcing ribs can also increase the operation space and facilitate the installation and disassembly of subsequent parts.
[0034] In the same embodiment, in order to further avoid that the reinforcing rib 3 punctures the pipeline and improve the flexibility and strength of the entire system, for example, the outer side surface of the end of the reinforcing rib 3 away from the flange is tightly attached to and fixedly connected with the outer surface of the elbow pipe 1.
[0035] In the same embodiment, in order to make the connection of the elbow pipe 1, the flange 2 and the reinforcing rib 3 more closely and the fixation more firmly, for example, the elbow pipe 1, the flange 2 and the reinforcing rib 3 are integrally formed.
[0036] In the embodiment, the elbow pipe 1 is an L-shaped or S-shaped elbow pipe.
[0037] In the same embodiment, in order to improve the pressure resistance and high-temperature resistance of the elbow pipe 1, the flange 2 and the reinforcing rib 3, for example, the materials of the elbow pipe 1, the flange 2 and the reinforcing rib 3 are stainless steel materials. The stainless steel materials in the application include but are not limited to stainless steel 301, 304, 316, 316L, 321 and the like.
[0038] The utility model also provides a supporting device. Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the support device comprises a bent pipe, at least one reinforcing rib 3 with a bent arc, and a set of locking sleeves 4. The locking sleeves 4 are detachably arranged at the two ends of the bent pipe 1, and the two ends of the reinforcing rib 3 are fixedly connected with the locking sleeves 4 close to each other. In the support device of the application, the connection of the reinforcing rib and the bent pipe is realized through the cooperation of the reinforcing rib 3 and the locking sleeve (the locking sleeve is locked on the bent pipe, and the locking sleeve has a structure such as a clamp), and the size (diameter) of the locking sleeve 4 is adjusted to adapt to bent pipes of different diameters. The whole support device has the advantages of convenient installation and disassembly, wide application, etc.
[0039] The above merely illustrates the specific implementation of the present application, and any equivalent changes and modifications made by any person skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principle of the present application shall belong to the protection scope of the present application.
