[0026] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment provides a solid rocket engine component press-fitting device, which comprises a press 1, a pressing transmission assembly 2 and a base 5. The base 5 is located directly below the press head of the press 1, and the base 5 is provided with a positioning part for positioning and fixing the lower end of the engine component to be press-fitted. The upper end of the engine component to be press-fitted is connected with the press head of the press 1 through the pressing transmission assembly 2. The engine component to be press-fitted comprises a plurality of cylindrical components 4, and each cylindrical component 4 is sequentially butted along the axial direction. Specifically, the embodiment takes three cylindrical components 4 as an example for description.

[0027] In the embodiment, the press 1 is used to provide vertical pressure, and the stable output pressure value can be adjusted according to the requirement. The pressing transmission assembly 2 and the three cylindrical components 4 are axially press-fitted into place by the downward movement of the press head along the vertical direction to overcome the resistance of the double O-shaped sealing ring. The pressing transmission assembly 2 is used to transmit the axial pressure applied by the press head of the press 1 to the engine component to be press-fitted, and to position the uppermost cylindrical component 4 according to the directional requirement. The base 5 is used to position the lowermost cylindrical component 4 according to the directional requirement.

[0028] During assembly, the lower cylindrical component 4 is installed on the positioning part of the base 5, the upper cylindrical component 4 is connected with the pressing transmission assembly 2, and the pressing transmission assembly 2 is butted with the press head of the press 1. Then, the middle cylindrical component 4 is placed between the upper and lower cylindrical components 4 and is preliminarily positioned and butted with them. After that, the press head of the press 1 moves downward along the vertical direction to axially press-fit the pressing transmission assembly 2 and the three cylindrical components 4. After press-fitting into place, the direction of the middle cylindrical component 4 is adjusted according to the directional requirement. Finally, the connection parts of the cylindrical components 4 are fixed.

[0029] Specifically, the connection parts of the adjacent two cylindrical components 4 are provided with key grooves, and the ring keys are assembled at the key grooves of the connection parts of the adjacent two cylindrical components 4 after the cylindrical components 4 are press-fitted into place, so as to realize the fixed connection between the adjacent two cylindrical components 4.

[0030] As a specific embodiment, the pressing transmission assembly 2 comprises a lower connecting plate 11, an upper connecting plate 9 and a connecting unit connecting the lower connecting plate 11 and the upper connecting plate 9. The upper connecting plate 9 is provided with a force transmission cylinder segment 8 for butting with the press head of the press 1. The lower connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected with the upper end of the engine component to be press-fitted. The press head of the press 1 applies axial pressure to the force transmission cylinder segment 8, and the axial pressure is transmitted to the cylindrical components 4 through the upper connecting plate 9 and the lower connecting plate 11, so as to press-fit into place after overcoming the resistance of the sealing ring at the radial matching surface of the cylindrical components 4.

[0031] Optionally, the connecting unit can adopt a plurality of first screw rods 10 arranged along the circumference of the upper connecting plate 9 and disposed between the lower connecting plate 11 and the upper connecting plate 9, and the distance between the lower connecting plate 11 and the upper connecting plate 9 can be adjusted by the first screw rods 10.

[0032] Optionally, a plurality of adjusting rods 12 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the outer side of the lower connecting plate 11 and extend along the radial direction of the lower connecting plate 11. Since the assembly between the cylindrical components 4 to be press-fitted has directionality, the adjusting rods 12 can be used to adjust the circumferential direction of the cylindrical components 4 and then position them according to the directionality requirements. In some embodiments, at least part of the segments (i.e., the cylindrical components 4) to be press-fitted are also provided with a direction adjusting mechanism for rotating them around their own axes, and the circumferential direction of the corresponding cylindrical components 4 is adjusted by the direction adjusting mechanism.

The bottom plate 6 is placed on the bottom platform of the press 1 and serves as a work platform for placing the engine components to be press-fitted. The clamp 7 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom plate 6 and constitutes a positioning part of the base 5 for radially clamping the lowermost cylindrical component 4 and playing a role of orientation. The structural design of the base 5 can prevent the engine components to be press-fitted from falling over.

[0034] Preferably, the central axis of the clamp 7 coincides with the central axis of the press head of the press 1, which has high centering accuracy and high speed and ensures uniform stress of the cylindrical components 4 during butt joint.

[0035] Preferably, the distance between the bottom plate 6 of the base 5 and the press head of the press 1 is adjustable to adapt to press-fitting of product components of different heights and expand the application range of the press-fitting device.

[0036] In an optimized embodiment, the solid rocket engine component press-fitting device of the present embodiment further includes a locking assembly 3 for locking and fixing the middle segment of the engine components to be press-fitted. Specifically, when the cylindrical components 4 are press-fitted in place, the middle cylindrical components 4 are locked by the locking assembly 3 and fixed together with the press 1, which prevents the engine components from falling over during subsequent assembly of ring keys and plays a role of safety backup.

[0037] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 3 comprises two embracing rings 13 connected by bolts, the middle cylindrical part 4 is locked by the embracing rings 13, and a plurality of fixing blocks 14 are arranged on the outer side of the embracing rings 13 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the fixing blocks 14 are fixed to the frame of the press 1, so that the middle cylindrical part 4 is fixed to the press 1. Specifically, the fixing blocks 14 are provided with screw holes, the support of the press 1 is provided with a connecting block 16, after the cylindrical part 4 is assembled in place, the direction of the middle cylindrical part 4 is adjusted according to the directionality requirement, after the adjustment, the connecting block 16 of the press 1 is connected and fixed to the screw holes of the fixing blocks 14 at the corresponding positions of the embracing rings 13 by the second screw rod 15, so that the middle cylindrical part 4 is fixed to the press 1, and the stability of the middle cylindrical part 4 is ensured.
