[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of thrust testing equipment, and more specifically, to a vehicle frame and its supporting support structure. Background Technology
[0002] In rocket engine thrust testing, the rocket engine needs to be placed horizontally on a specially designed chassis. There are different models of rocket engines currently used for thrust testing, and the diameter and length of each model are different. This poses a compatibility challenge to the design of the chassis. When designing the chassis, companies need to consider meeting the testing requirements of multiple rocket engine models in order to effectively control testing costs.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-5 The diagram shows a vehicle frame and its supporting support structure used for rocket engine thrust testing. The vehicle frame includes a frame body 1, which supports a horizontally positioned rocket engine. Therefore, the frame body 1 has a flat rectangular shape. Two sets of wheels 2 are installed below the frame body 1. Each set of wheels 2 includes two symmetrically mounted and rotatably installed wheels 21. The two sets of wheels 2 are symmetrically installed along the length of the bottom surface of the frame body 1. The presence of the wheel sets 2 allows the entire vehicle frame to move. The test site is paved with tracks, and the vehicle frame is mounted on the tracks via the wheel sets 2. The vehicle frame can move along... The track moves along its length. The component on the frame that supports and holds the rocket engine is a support structure. This invention features two sets of bolt holes 3 on the top surface of the frame body 1, symmetrically positioned along the width of the top surface. These bolt hole sets 3 are used to install the support structure, which includes two support bodies 4. Each support body 4 spans and connects to the two sets of bolt holes 3. Each bolt hole set 3 includes several bolt holes evenly distributed along the length of the frame body 1. The spacing between the two support bodies 4 is adjustable to accommodate rocket engines of different lengths. Figure 3The diagram shows an integrated support structure. The characteristic of this support structure is that the top surface of the support body 4 is directly recessed to form an arc-shaped groove 42. This arc-shaped groove 42 matches the shape of the rocket engine cylinder, allowing for stable support of a horizontally positioned rocket engine. However, since the arc-shaped groove 42 of the support body 4 is of a fixed size, this integrated support structure can only support rocket engines of one diameter, resulting in significant limitations. To address this, this invention designs a replaceable support structure, such as… Figure 4 As shown, in this invention, the top surface of the support body 4 is recessed to form a notch, which can be fitted with a replaceable sub-support 5. The top surface of the replaceable sub-support 5 is recessed to form an arc-shaped groove 42. The replaceable sub-support 5 adopts a detachable installation design, and each replaceable sub-support 5 has an arc-shaped groove 42 with a different radius size, for example... Figure 5 The radius of the arc-shaped groove 42 is significantly smaller than Figure 4 With an arc-shaped groove radius of 42, the replacement support 5 can meet the support requirements of rocket engines of different diameters. The arc radius of the present invention is currently designed to be between 300-1200mm, which can basically cover the support requirements of conventional rocket engines.
[0025] The chassis of this invention requires limiting during thrust testing. The chassis is required to move only in a straight line along the thrust direction and not deviate in any other direction. To meet these requirements, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this utility model has four limiting beams 11 connected and installed on the side of the frame body 1. The limiting beams 11 are arranged in pairs, and the two pairs of limiting beams 11 are symmetrically installed. The limiting beams 11 are laterally connected to the side wall of the frame body 1 in the length direction. The limiting beams 11 are used in conjunction with the limiting device. The limiting device is not the focus of this utility model, so its specific structure will not be described. The limiting device restricts the lateral and upward movement of the frame by contact. Therefore, a reinforcing plate 111 is installed at the outer end of the limiting beam 11. The reinforcing plate 111 is welded to the top plane and the end wall of the limiting beam 11 respectively. The position of the reinforcing plate 111 is used to cooperate with the contact of the limiting device.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame body 1 has several through-hole process slots 12, which are used to reduce the overall weight of the frame. Tow hook lugs 13 are welded and installed on the two wide side walls of the frame body 1. The frame is very heavy and needs to be pulled by ropes. The tow hook lugs 13 are used to connect the ropes.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this utility model's support structure, both support bodies 4 are installed and fixed to the frame body 1 by means of bottom bolt connection to bolt hole group 3, as... Figure 4As shown, two first bolt plates 41 are welded and installed at the bottom of the support body 4. The two first bolt plates 41 are respectively set to correspond to two bolt hole groups 3, allowing the support body 4 to be bolted across the two bolt hole groups 3. Two second bolt plates 44 are welded and installed at the top of the support body 4. The two second bolt plates 44 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the replaceable sub-support 5. The second bolt plates 44 are used to install other radial positioning components. These other radial positioning components are used to withstand the radial vibration of the rocket engine cylinder during rocket engine thrust testing. These other radial positioning components are not the focus of this utility model. The structure is not described here. Two third bolt plates 51 are welded and installed at the bottom of the replaceable sub-support 5. The replaceable sub-support 5 is fixedly connected to the support body 4 by bolts through the third bolt plates 51. Lateral limiting components 52 are also symmetrically arranged on both sides of the replaceable sub-support 5. Each lateral limiting component 52 includes two limiting bolts 521. The limiting bolts 521 are threaded and can be turned. The limiting bolts 521 can laterally abut against the side wall of the replaceable sub-support 5, thus limiting the lateral position of the replaceable sub-support 5. The design of the limiting bolts 521 can counteract the lateral movement force of the replaceable sub-support 5.
[0028] To protect the rocket engine housing, such as Figure 4 As shown, a padding layer 43 is laid on the arc-shaped groove 42 of the replaceable tray 5. The padding layer 43 is made of felt material and is glued to the arc-shaped groove 42.
[0029] To facilitate the quick installation of bracket 4, such as Figure 4 As shown, this utility model has a positioning groove 45 at the bottom of the support body 4, such as Figure 1 As shown, a positioning strip seat 14 is installed on the frame body 1. The positioning strip seat 14 is made of strip square steel. The cross-sectional dimensions of the positioning strip seat 14 are adapted to the positioning slot 45. When the bracket body 4 is installed, the positioning slot 45 is inserted into the positioning strip seat 14. This allows the installation orientation of the bracket body 4 to be quickly determined. The bracket body 4 can be quickly installed simply by moving its position in the length direction of the frame. This design makes the installation of the bracket body 4 more convenient.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
