Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of propellant performance testing technology, specifically relating to a sample preparation and measurement system for testing the mechanical properties of coating layers and insulation layers. Background Technology
[0002] The propellant coating and insulation layer play a crucial role in solid rocket motors. Located between the propellant and the engine casing, they must withstand the high pressure and high-temperature combustion gas erosion of the combustion chamber, as well as the complex mechanical loads (such as vibration, impact, and acceleration) generated during engine operation. They need to possess excellent mechanical properties to withstand the various stresses generated during engine storage, transportation, ignition, and flight. To ensure that the mechanical properties of the propellant coating and insulation layer meet the requirements of engine operation, mechanical property testing of the coating and insulation layer materials is necessary. Before performance testing, dumbbell-shaped specimens need to be prepared. The traditional sample preparation process involves two steps: manually cutting a specimen of a specified size from the insulation layer sheet using a manual sample preparation machine, and then measuring the thickness of the working part of the specimen using a thickness gauge. Both specimen preparation and thickness measurement need to be performed individually, resulting in low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high safety risks. Furthermore, human error can easily lead to inaccuracies, affecting the accuracy of the insulation layer's mechanical property test results. Utility Model Content

Before sample preparation, the operator places the insulation layer tablet into the cutting plate, closes the safety door 8, and presses the start button. After the equipment starts running, the servo motor 10 drives the insulation layer tablet to the bottom of the cutting blade 5. The cutting blade 5 presses down and cuts the tablet into a dumbbell shape. After the cutting blade 5 returns to its original position, the motion mechanism sends the tablet to the second sample preparation position to continue cutting.

This process continues until the set number of samples is completed. After sample preparation, the equipment automatically resets, and the operator enters the workshop to collect the samples and waste drugs from the equipment.
