DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The present invention will now be further described with reference to examples.

[0024] The assembled self-sealing sealing structure for the thrust chamber head is used to seal the head of the thrust chamber 24 during testing. The assembled self-sealing sealing structure includes a first sealing member, a second sealing member, and a third sealing member. The first sealing member forms an annular sealing surface on the head of the thrust chamber 24 and transmits the test load force to the threaded hole of the thrust chamber head flange 26 through the first link 13. The second sealing member forms an annular sealing surface on the head of the thrust chamber 24 and transmits the test load force to the back side of the thrust chamber head flange 26 through the second link 14. The third sealing member transmits the test load force to the bottom seat of the test device through the tie rod 11. The sealing surfaces of the first sealing member, the second sealing member, and the third sealing member are provided in order from the outside to the inside, and jointly seal the head of the thrust chamber. The first sealing member, the second sealing member, and the third sealing member are provided at the axial positions of the thrust chamber 24 and are not fixedly connected to each other, so that no axial force transmission occurs. The separate structural design reduces the stress levels of each force-receiving component and minimizes the effect of test residual forces on the thrust chamber 24.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first sealing member includes an end face seal flange 3, a first link 13, a first rubber ring 17, and a first stopper 18.

[0026] The end face seal flange 3 is ring-shaped and has an inner hole, which fits the shape of the end face of the thrust chamber head flange 26. In use, the end face seal flange 3 and the thrust chamber head flange 26 are detachably connected together via a first link 13. Preferably, the first link 13 is a bolt, which passes through a through hole in the end face seal flange 3 and is connected to a threaded hole in the thrust chamber head flange 26.

[0027] A first seal groove is provided in the end face of the end face seal flange 3 that is bonded to the thrust chamber head flange 26. The first seal groove is annular and extends in the entire circumferential direction of the end face seal flange 3. As shown in FIG. 2, a first rubber ring 17 and a first stopper 18 are provided in the first seal groove. The first rubber ring 17 is an O-shaped rubber ring. The first stopper 18 is ring-shaped and is fitted into the first seal groove as a whole, which increases the seal length in the leakage passage, improves the reliability of the sealing structure, and reduces the difficulty of assembling the parts.

[0028] The second sealing member includes a seal flange 4, a first slider 5, a first connecting member, a first seal ring member, and a first tightening nut 7. The first connecting member is used to detachably connect the seal flange 4 and the thrust chamber head flange 26, and includes a fixed flange 1, an adapter 2, a second link 14, and a second nut 16. The first seal ring member includes two second rubber rings 19 and one second stopper 20.

[0029] The first slider 5 is located inside the end face seal flange 3. The outer surface of the first slider 5 is joined to the inner surface of the end face seal flange 3 to achieve sealing. The first slider 5 has a ring-shaped structure and has an inner hole. The side of the first slider 5 facing the thrust chamber 24 is provided with an annular groove, which reduces the weight and improves the sealing effect of the first slider 5. An annular outer seal chamber is formed between the first slider 5 and the inner surface of the end face seal flange 3. The outer surface of the first slider 5 is provided with a first packing that enters the outer seal chamber. The first packing is provided in the vicinity of the thrust chamber 24. The outer surface of the first packing is pasted on the inner surface of the end face seal flange 3. A first seal ring member is provided in the outer seal chamber. The first seal ring member includes two second rubber rings 19. A second stopper 20 is provided between the two second rubber rings 19. The second stopper 20 is a complete ring. The second stopper 20 is fitted as a whole into the outer seal chamber. Second rubber rings 19 are provided on the front and rear sides of the second stopper 20, respectively, which increases the seal length in the leakage passage and improves the reliability of the sealing structure.

[0030] The seal flange 4 is located on the side of the end face seal flange 3 facing away from the thrust chamber head flange 26. The seal flange 4 has an annular structure and an inner hole, the lower end of which enters the outer seal chamber and abuts against the second rubber ring 19. A first positioning step 27 is provided on the outer surface of the seal flange 4. The first positioning step 27 abuts against the end surface of the end face seal flange 3 and is bonded to the inner surface of the end face seal flange 3 to position the seal flange 4. A first connecting stud 25 is welded to the first slider 5, and the first connecting stud 25 is screwed into a first tightening nut 7 to provide a fixed connection between the first slider 5 and the seal flange 4.

[0031] The fixed flange 1 has a complete annular structure, and its minimum inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the thrust chamber head flange 26. Preferably, the minimum inner diameter of the fixed flange 1 is 0.5 mm-1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the thrust chamber head flange 26. This allows the thrust chamber head flange 26 to pass through the inner hole of the fixed flange 1 when assembling the equipment, so that the fixed flange 1 can reach both sides of the thrust chamber head flange 26. That is, in the state shown in FIG. 1, the fixed flange 1 is located below the thrust chamber head flange 26.

[0032] The adapter 2 is an arc-shaped plate with a corresponding central angle of less than 180°. The inner mold surface of the adapter 2 is bonded to the outer and lower surfaces of the thrust chamber head flange 26. In use, the adapter 2 is located between the thrust chamber head flange 26 and the fixed flange 1, and the fixed flange 1 and the seal flange 4 are detachably connected via the second link 14. The second link 14 may be a bolt, and is used in combination with the second nut 16 to provide a secure connection between the fixed flange 1 and the seal flange 4.

[0033] The third sealing member includes a second slider 6, a pressing lid 9, a second connecting member, a second seal ring member, a second tightening nut 8, and a first nut 15. The second connecting member includes a fixing seat 10, a tie rod 11, a gasket 12, and a third nut 23, and is used to detachably connect the pressing lid 9 to the bottom seat of the test device. The second seal ring member includes two third rubber rings 21 and one third stopper 22.

[0034] The second slider 6 is located inside the first slider 5, and as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the second slider 6 is disk-shaped, and a groove is formed on the lower end surface thereof to reduce weight. The outer surface of the second slider 6 is joined to the inner surface of the first slider 5 to realize sealing. A ring-shaped inner seal chamber is formed between the second slider 6 and the inner surface of the first slider 5. The outer surface of the second slider 6 is provided with a second packing 38 that enters the inner seal chamber. The second packing 38 is located at the end of the inner seal chamber close to the thrust chamber 24, and its outer surface is pasted on the inner surface of the first slider 5. The second seal ring member is located in the inner seal chamber. The third stopper 22 is located between the two third rubber rings 21. The third rubber ring 21 is preferably an O-shaped seal ring. The third stopper 22 is in the shape of a complete ring, and is fitted into the inner seal chamber as a whole. A third rubber ring 21 is provided on each of the front and rear sides of the third stopper 22. This increases the seal length in the leakage passage, improving the reliability of the sealing structure.

[0035] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the second packing 38 matches the diameter of the throat of the thrust chamber 24. That is, the outer diameter of the second packing 38 is approximately equal to the diameter of the throat of the thrust chamber 24. The axial force received by the second slider 6 is the same as the axial force received by the throat sealing device. In this case, when the first sealing member, the second sealing member, and the thrust chamber 24 are subjected to a mechanical analysis, the resultant force of the external forces is zero. In other words, by applying almost no extra force to the thrust chamber 24, it is guaranteed that no unnecessary axial deformation occurs in the entire thrust chamber 24.

[0036] The pressing lid 9 is located inside the seal flange 4, and as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the outer surface of the pressing lid 9 has a third positioning step 34. The pressing lid 9 abuts against the end surface of the seal flange 4 via the third positioning step 34, and is joined to the inner surface of the seal flange 4 for positioning. An annular second positioning step 28 is provided at the end of the pressing lid 9 toward the second slider 6. The second positioning step 28 enters the inner seal chamber and abuts against the third rubber ring 21. A second connecting stud 37 is welded to the second slider 6, and the second connecting stud 37 is connected to the second tightening nut 8 to realize a fixed connection between the second slider 6 and the pressing lid 9.

[0037] A third connection stud 36 is welded to the pressing lid 9, and a connection hole 30 is formed in the fixing seat 10 at a position corresponding to the third connection stud 36, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The connection hole 30 is a simple hole. The third connection stud 36 passes through the connection hole 30 and is connected to the first nut 15 to realize a fixed connection between the pressing lid 9 and the fixing seat 10. A plurality of support seats 29 are provided on the upper end of the fixing seat 10. The plurality of support seats 29 are evenly distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the fixing seat 10. One end of the tie rod 11 is connected to the support seat 29 via the gasket 12 and the third nut 23, and the other end is attached to the bottom seat of the test device via a pin shaft.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to increase the strength of the fixed seat 10, a first reinforcing member 31, a second reinforcing member 32, and a third reinforcing member 33 are provided in the inner cavity of the fixed seat 10.

[0039] When the assembled self-sealing sealing structure is used for testing the thrust chamber 24, it is necessary to check whether the first rubber ring 17, the first stopper 18, the second rubber ring 19, the second stopper 20, the third rubber ring 21, and the third stopper 22 have cracks, differentiation, deterioration, and other phenomena, and whether the threads of each component are damaged before installation. If there are any, replace or repair them. When installing, install the first sealing member, the second sealing member, and the third sealing member in order. The specific steps are as follows:

[0040] The first rubber ring 17 and the first stopper 18 are inserted into the first seal groove as shown in Fig. 2, and the end face seal flange 3 is screwed into the screw hole of the thrust chamber head flange 26 via the first link 13 to connect the first seal member to the thrust chamber head flange 26. The inner hole of the end face seal flange 3 can act as a positioning hole for the second seal member.

[0041] b. The first slider 5 is inserted into the inner hole of the face seal flange 3, and the second rubber ring 19 and the second stopper 20 are installed in the outer seal chamber as shown in FIG. The fixed flange 1 passes through the thrust chamber head flange 26 and is fitted onto the outside of the thrust chamber 24 . The seal flange 4 is positioned above the end face seal flange 3 and is joined to the inner hole of the end face seal flange 3 via the first positioning step 27 for positioning. Thereafter, the inner surface of adapter 2 is bonded to the outer surface of thrust chamber head flange 26 , fixed flange 1 is moved to adapter 2 , and the outer bottom surface of adapter 2 is bonded to the stepped surface of fixed flange 1 . The fixed flange 1 is fixedly connected to the seal flange 4 by the second link 14 and the second nut 16, and the first slider 5 is fixedly connected to the seal flange 4 by the first connecting stud 25 and the first tightening nut 7, and the first tightening nut 7 is then slightly tightened. The installation of the second sealing member is completed, and in this case, the inner hole of the seal flange 4 can act as a positioning hole for the third sealing member.

[0042] c. Place the second slider 6 within the first slider 5 and install the third rubber ring 21 and the third stopper 22 within the inner seal chamber as shown in FIG. The press lid 9 is placed inside the seal flange 4, and the third positioning step 34 abuts against the end face of the seal flange 4 and is joined to the inner surface of the seal flange 4 for positioning. The second slider 6 is fixedly connected to the press lid 9 by the second connection stud 37 and the second tightening nut 8, and the second tightening nut 8 can be tightened slightly. The fixed seat 10 is placed on the upper side of the pressing lid 9 , and the pressing lid 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 10 via the third connecting stud 36 and the first nut 15 . The fixing washer 10 and the tie rod 11 are fixedly connected via the gasket 12 and the third nut 23, thereby completing the installation of the third sealing member.

[0043] After the first, second and third sealing members are installed according to the above procedure, all fastener screws are tightened, and the first and second tightening nuts 7 and 8 are tightened, so that the second and third rubber rings 19 and 21 can expand and a sealing differential pressure is generated on the surface to ensure a reliable seal, and the installation is completed by combining self-tightening and sealing. The first and second tightening nuts 7 and 8 may both be commercially available nuts, as long as they can realize a detachable connection with the stud.

[0044] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the above methods and technical means within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and adaptations made to the above embodiments based on the substantial technical means of the present invention are all included in the protection scope of the technical means of the present invention, provided that they do not deviate from the technical means of the present invention.
