Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent application relates to the field of electromagnetic launch technology, and in particular to a titanium alloy cradle for use in an electromagnetic railgun launching system, specifically a novel titanium alloy cradle for an electromagnetic railgun made of titanium alloy casting. Background Technology

[0002] In an electromagnetic railgun's launching system, the cradle is a crucial component. The cradle primarily bears the heavy responsibility of supporting the launcher, ensuring its stability during firing. Simultaneously, it is responsible for securing the recoil mechanism, which plays a key role in counteracting the enormous recoil force generated during firing, ensuring the normal operation and reusability of the launching system. The cradle provides a stable foundation for this mechanism. Currently, traditional cradles are mostly made of steel, and their structural forms are relatively conventional. However, these traditional cradles have revealed numerous problems when applied to electromagnetic railguns. The high density of steel results in a heavy overall weight for the cradle, which not only increases the difficulty of transportation and deployment, reduces the mobility of the electromagnetic railgun system, but may also adversely affect the performance of the platform. Structurally, the design of traditional cradles struggles to meet the operational and overall functional requirements of the launching process while ensuring strength and rigidity. To overcome the shortcomings of existing cradle materials and structures and to meet the evolving technological demands of electromagnetic railguns, the development of a new type of cradle is urgently needed. The new cradle requires innovation in materials and structure to achieve goals such as lightweight, high strength, high rigidity, and good manufacturability, thereby improving the overall performance and combat effectiveness of the electromagnetic railgun system. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this patent application is to provide a novel titanium alloy cradle for electromagnetic railguns, addressing the problems of excessive weight and insufficient structural performance in existing cradles. By employing titanium alloy materials and an innovative structural design, the strength and rigidity of the cradle are improved, achieving weight reduction. This, in turn, enhances the stability, mobility, and firing accuracy of the electromagnetic railgun launching system, meeting the high-performance requirements of modern military electromagnetic railguns.

[0004] According to one aspect of this application, a titanium alloy cradle for an electromagnetic gun launching system is provided, comprising a cradle body 1 and a cradle neck 2.

[0005] The cradle body 1 is a single-piece cast titanium alloy piece with three mounting holes for the anti-recoil device, featuring a toothed tenon structure. The anti-recoil device is tightly connected to the cradle body 1 via these tenons. When the electromagnetic gun fires, the resulting enormous recoil force is transmitted to the anti-recoil device, which, through its own working principle, buffers and absorbs the recoil force. The cradle, serving as the fixed base for the anti-recoil device, effectively transmits the force borne by the device to the supporting structure of the entire firing system. Through a reasonable mechanical distribution, the force is dispersed to the ground or other supports, thereby counteracting the recoil force, ensuring the stability of the firing system, and enabling the electromagnetic gun to fire continuously and stably.

[0006] The cradle neck 2 is an integral aluminum alloy casting, assembled at the front of the cradle body 1. Together, they support the launcher, providing sufficient support area and stable support force for the launch system, ensuring that the launcher will not shift or shake during launch. A sliding clamp is installed on the launcher, which is connected to the cradle neck 2, providing sufficient support area and stable support force for the launch system, ensuring that the launcher will not shift or shake during launch.

[0007] The cradle body 1 is manufactured using a one-piece casting process, which avoids the strength weakening and assembly errors caused by the connection points in traditional spliced ​​structures. The one-piece titanium alloy casting cradle body has higher structural integrity and can better withstand the complex stresses generated during launch;

[0008] The beneficial effects of this patent application are as follows:

[0009] The launch stability of the electromagnetic railgun is significantly improved by using the novel titanium alloy cradle described in this application. Due to the high strength and rigidity of the cradle, vibration and displacement during launch are effectively reduced, allowing the electromagnetic railgun to maintain good stability even during continuous firing, thereby improving firing accuracy.
