[0021] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention are now described in detail. This detailed description should not be considered as a limitation of the present invention, but should be understood as a more detailed description of certain aspects, features and implementations of the present invention.

[0022] Various improvements and variations can be made to the specific embodiments described in this utility model without departing from the scope or spirit of this utility model, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Other embodiments derived from this utility model description will also be obvious to those skilled in the art. This application specification and embodiments are merely exemplary.

[0023] This invention provides a nitrogen propulsion system with multiple thrust groups, such as... Figure 1 and 2 The diagram shows the structure of the nitrogen propulsion system. In a specific embodiment, the nitrogen propulsion system includes: a high-pressure gas cylinder 1, multiple nozzle assemblies 3, and a ring pipe 6. The high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is connected to the multiple nozzle assemblies 3 via a cylinder branch line 2. The multiple nozzle assemblies 3 are evenly arranged circumferentially around the circumference of the rocket body 4. Figure 1 As shown, the four nozzle groups 3 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rocket body 4. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are 4 high-pressure gas cylinders 1 and 4 sets of nozzle groups 3, where each set of nozzle groups 3 is connected to one high-pressure gas cylinder 1.

[0024] In addition, gas cylinder branch 2 is connected to ring pipe 6, which is connected to an external nitrogen source to provide nitrogen to high-pressure gas cylinder 1. In this embodiment, ring pipe 6 is set up to balance the pressure between each high-pressure gas cylinder 1, ensure that the thrust of nozzle group 3 in different quadrants is the same, and avoid interference forces when nozzles in different quadrants are working.

[0025] A filling valve 7 for controlling the filling and releasing of the high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is provided on the ring pipe 6. In this embodiment, the filling valve 7 is a solenoid valve.

[0026] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the nozzle assembly 3 includes nozzle A 31 and nozzle B 32. Nozzle A 31 and nozzle B 32 have different throat diameters. Different throat diameters result in different thrust magnitudes under the same nozzle inlet pressure. In this embodiment, the inlet diameter of nozzle A 31 is smaller than the throat diameter of nozzle B 32.

[0027] Nozzle A 31 and Nozzle B 32 are respectively connected to cylinder branch 2 through nozzle branch 5.

[0028] The throat diameter of the A nozzle 31 is small, and is used when the internal pressure of the high-pressure cylinder 1 is in the high-pressure interval, so as to avoid excessive thrust in the early stage. The throat diameter of the B nozzle 32 is large, and is used when the internal pressure of the high-pressure cylinder 1 is in the low-pressure interval, so as to ensure that the thrust meets the demand of the rocket attitude adjustment when the pressure of the high-pressure cylinder 1 is low. Meanwhile, the use of the large-throat-diameter nozzle can make the high-pressure cylinder 1 work in a lower pressure interval, thereby improving the utilization rate of the nitrogen propelling system.

[0029] Further, the nozzle direction of the A nozzle 31 and the B nozzle 32 is perpendicular to the axis of the rocket body 4 and tangent to the surface of the rocket body 4.

[0030] Further, the two A nozzles 31 are oppositely arranged, and the nozzle direction is directed to the opposite direction. The two B nozzles 32 are oppositely arranged, and the nozzle direction is directed to the opposite direction. The two nozzles of the same type are oppositely arranged, so as to start or close different nozzles according to the different attitude of the rocket when the attitude adjustment is controlled, and to realize accurate attitude adjustment.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 Fig. 2, the two A nozzles 31 and the two B nozzles 32 are arranged in the up-down direction along the axis of the rocket body 4. That is, in the axial direction of the rocket body, the two A nozzles 31 are arranged above the two B nozzles 32, or the two A nozzles 31 are arranged below the two B nozzles 32. Since the start of the A nozzle 31 and the B nozzle 32 needs to be determined according to the pressure of the high-pressure cylinder, the up-down arrangement along the axis is to ensure that the thrust directions of the A nozzle 31 and the B nozzle 32 are the same.

[0032] Further, the inlet of the A nozzle 31 and the B nozzle 32 is provided with a nozzle valve 33 for controlling the nitrogen delivery. Preferably, the nozzle valve 33 is an electromagnetic valve.

[0033] In the embodiment, the outlet of the nozzle valve 33 is connected to the inlet of the nozzle, and the two are connected through a sleeve nut, so as to reduce the cavity of the two, and improve the pulse working response.

[0034] The corresponding electromagnetic valve action instruction is issued by the rocket according to the attitude adjustment demand, the corresponding electromagnetic valve is powered on and the valve is opened, the corresponding nozzle will have nitrogen gas flow, and then the thrust is generated. When the attitude adjustment is not needed, the corresponding electromagnetic valve is powered off and the valve is closed, the nitrogen gas flow of the corresponding nozzle is cut off, and the thrust is not generated.

[0035] In order to reduce the pipeline flow resistance in the working of the nitrogen propelling system, the high-pressure cylinder 1 in each quadrant and the electromagnetic valve on the corresponding nozzle group 3 are arranged approximately coaxially, so that the length of the pipeline through which the gas flows from the high-pressure cylinder to the electromagnetic valve is the shortest, and the pipeline flow resistance is reduced.

[0036] In the specific embodiment of the utility model, the filter 8 is arranged on the part of the annular pipe 6 upstream of the inflation valve 7 to avoid sundries from entering during the process of inflating the high-pressure gas cylinder and to protect the electromagnetic valve downstream.

[0037] The above is only the specific embodiment of the utility model, and any equivalent changes and modifications made by any person skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principle of the utility model shall belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
