The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, embodiments of the present application provide a fairing separation system for a launch vehicle, the fairing separation system for a launch vehicle comprising: a fairing body 100 and at least one set of separation devices 400. Wherein, radome fairing body 100 can be current radome fairing structure, and radome fairing body 100 includes separable first radome fairing segment 110 and second radome fairing segment 120, and first radome fairing segment 110 and second radome fairing segment 120 can synthesize a complete radome fairing body 100. A parting plane 130 is provided between the first fairing section 110 and the second fairing section 120, and the central axis of the fairing body 100 is located in the plane of this parting plane 130.
As shown in fig. 3, the separation device 400 is mainly used for providing separation power for the separation of the fairing body 100, the separation device 400 in the embodiment of the present application can provide high-pressure pneumatic separation power, and the separation device 400 specifically includes: a high pressure gas cylinder 430, a piston cylinder 410, a piston 420, and a push rod 440.
To achieve separation of the fairing body 100, the piston cylinder 410 and the high pressure gas cylinder 430 are both fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the first fairing section 110, and are finally separated and fall off together with the first fairing section 110. An opening 411 is formed at one end of the piston cylinder 410 (the end of the piston cylinder 410 opposite to the opening 411 is a closed end), and the opening 411 faces the inner side wall of the second fairing section 120 to facilitate the movement and separation of the push rod 440. The end of the piston cylinder 410 away from the opening 411 is selectively communicated with the high pressure gas cylinder 430, that is, when high pressure gas needs to be filled into the piston cylinder 410, the high pressure gas cylinder 430 is communicated with the piston cylinder 410, and when high pressure gas does not need to be filled into the piston cylinder 410, the high pressure gas cylinder 430 is not communicated with the piston cylinder 410.
Further, the piston 420 is located in the piston cylinder 410 and is in sliding fit with the piston cylinder 410, the area between the piston 420 and the piston cylinder 410 is a working area of high-pressure gas, and the piston 420 can be pushed to slide towards the opening 411 of the piston cylinder 410 by the filled high-pressure gas. One end of the push rod 440 abuts against the piston 420, that is, the push rod 440 only contacts with the piston 420, and the two are not fixedly connected to facilitate subsequent separation. The other end of the push rod 440 extends from the opening 411 to the outside of the piston cylinder 410 and is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the second fairing section 120.
It should be noted that the volume of the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 and the volume of the high-pressure gas stored inside may be set according to the set weight of the whole separation device 400 and the magnitude of the separation power, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application, and it is sufficient to ensure that the fairing body 100 can be separated without affecting the bearing weight of the launch vehicle.
The specific working process of the fairing separation system in the embodiment of the application is as follows:
in an initial state, the first fairing section 110 and the second fairing section 120 are locked by a fixing bolt, the piston cylinder 410 and the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 are both connected with the first fairing section 110, the push rod 440 is connected with the second fairing section 120, and the relative position among the piston cylinder 410, the piston 420 and the push rod 440 at the moment is an initial position.
When the fairing body 100 needs to be separated, the fixing bolt of the fairing body 100 is unlocked, the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 is communicated with the piston cylinder 410, high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 rapidly enters the piston cylinder 410 and pushes the piston 420 to move, and the push rod 440 is abutted against the piston 420, so that the piston 420 drives the push rod 440 to move towards the direction close to the second fairing section body 120, namely, relative movement is generated between the push rod 440 and the piston cylinder 410, and the first fairing section body 110 and the second fairing section body 120 are separated along the separating surface 130 perpendicular to the separating surface.
In the fairing separation system provided by the embodiment of the application, the separation device 400 capable of providing high-pressure pneumatic separation power is arranged between the first fairing segment 110 and the second fairing segment 120, and because the piston cylinder 410 of the separation device 400 is connected with the inner side wall of the first fairing segment 110, the push rod 440 of the separation device 400 is connected with the second fairing segment 120 and has certain guidance, and the piston cylinder 410 and the push rod 440 can be separated under the pushing of the pneumatic separation power, the acting distance of the first fairing segment 110 and the second fairing segment 120 during separation is increased, and the separation time of the fairing body 100 is shortened; the piston cylinder 410 in the separating device 400 is not directly connected with the push rod 440, so that clamping stagnation is not easy to occur during separation, and the separation reliability is improved; the fairing body 100 moves horizontally and is separated, and the separating device 400 is not directly connected with the arrow body 200, so that the stable operation of the arrow body 200 is facilitated; the separation device 400 has a simple structure, is easy to control, does not damage products in the separation process, is favorable for recycling, and reduces the manufacturing cost.
In some embodiments, in order to reduce the impact of the high-pressure pneumatic separation power and prevent the too large impact of the separation on the fairing, the embodiment of the present application provides a possible implementation manner for the push rod 440 of the separation device 400, which is as follows:
with continued reference to fig. 3, the push rod 440 in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes: a push rod body 441, a push rod sleeve 443, and a push rod spring 442 located within push rod sleeve 443. One end of the push rod body 441 abuts against the piston 420, and the other end of the push rod body 441 extends from the opening 411 to the outside of the piston cylinder 410 and is slidably connected to the push rod sleeve 443, that is, the push rod sleeve 443 indirectly contacts the piston 420 through the push rod body 441, so that the movement of the piston 420 drives the push rod sleeve 443 to move together.
Further, one end of push rod spring 442 is connected to one end of push rod body 441 far from piston cylinder 410, and the other end of push rod spring 442 abuts against the closed end of push rod sleeve 443, that is, push rod spring 442 is located at a position between push rod body 441 and the closed end of push rod sleeve 443, so as to provide a buffering effect for the sliding connection of push rod body 441 and push rod sleeve 443. The end of the push rod sleeve 443 remote from the piston cylinder 410 is fixedly attached to the inner sidewall of the second fairing segment 120.
It should be noted that the sliding connection between push rod body 441 and push rod sleeve 443 needs to ensure that at least a portion of push rod body 441 is located inside push rod sleeve 443, and the length of push rod body 441 entering the inside of push rod spring 442 can be limited by push rod spring 442.
The specific working process of the fairing separation system in the embodiment of the application is as follows:
in an initial state, the first cowling split body 110 and the second cowling split body 120 are locked by the fixing bolt, the piston cylinder 410 and the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 are both connected to the first cowling split body 110, the push rod sleeve 443 of the push rod 440 is connected to the second cowling split body 120, and the relative positions of the piston cylinder 410, the piston 420, the push rod body 441, and the push rod sleeve 443 are initial positions.
When the fairing body 100 needs to be separated, the fixing bolt of the fairing body 100 is unlocked, the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 is communicated with the piston cylinder 410, high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 rapidly enters the piston cylinder 410 and pushes the piston 420 to move, and the push rod body 441 is abutted against the piston 420, so that the piston 420 drives the push rod body 441 to move towards the direction close to the second fairing section body 120, namely, relative movement is generated between the push rod body 441 and the piston cylinder 410, the push rod spring 442 is compressed and further pushes the push rod sleeve 443 to move, and the first fairing section body 110 and the second fairing section body 120 are separated along the separation surface 130. The push rod spring 442 may play a role in buffering when the push rod body 441 initially moves (compression process of the push rod spring 442), and the push rod spring 442 may also generate a certain separation power after being compressed (recovery process of the push rod spring 442).
In the fairing separation system provided by the embodiment of the application, the push rod 440 in the separation device 400 is provided with the push rod spring 442 which can provide a buffering effect, and the push rod spring 442 can play a certain buffering effect on the separation power generated by the push rod body 441 after high-pressure gas rapidly enters the piston cylinder 410, so that the impact of the separation power on the fairing body 100 is prevented, and the normal operation of the rocket body 200 cannot be influenced; the push rod spring 442 can release certain elastic force at a later stage, so that the acting distance is further increased, and the separation speed of the fairing body 100 is increased; and the mode of combining high-pressure pneumatic separation and spring buffering can provide larger separation power for the separation of the fairing body 100, and the problem that the requirement on the elasticity of the spring is larger when the existing spring is separated is solved.
In some embodiments, in order to further enhance the separation effect of the separation device 400 on the fairing body 100, the following possible implementation manners are provided for the arrangement positions of the piston cylinder 410, the push rod body 441 and the push rod sleeve 443 in the embodiments of the present application:
with continued reference to fig. 3, the piston cylinder 410, the push rod body 441, and the push rod sleeve 443 are coaxially disposed, and the axes of the piston cylinder 410, the push body, and the push rod sleeve 443 are perpendicular to the parting plane 130 of the cowl body 100.
In this embodiment, since the axes of the piston cylinder 410, the push rod body 441, and the push rod sleeve 443 are coincident, the action distance on the push rod sleeve 443 is the largest under the condition that the relative movement distance between the piston 420 and the piston cylinder 410 is constant, which is beneficial to increasing the separation speed. In addition, the axes of the piston cylinder 410, the push rod body 441 and the push rod sleeve 443 are perpendicular to the separating surface 130 of the fairing body 100, and when the same volume of high-pressure gas is filled into the piston cylinder 410, a larger separating power can be provided, so that the first fairing segment 110 and the second fairing segment 120 can be separated more easily.
Optionally, in order to facilitate the control of the high-pressure gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 to enter the piston cylinder 410, the embodiment of the present application provides a possible implementation manner for the selective communication between the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 and the piston cylinder 410: with continued reference to fig. 3, the end of the piston cylinder 410 away from the opening 411 is connected to the high pressure gas cylinder 430 through a gas line 460, a gas valve switch 450 is disposed on the gas line 460, and the high pressure gas in the high pressure gas cylinder 430 is controlled to enter the piston cylinder 410 by the gas valve switch 450. Wherein the gas valve switch 450 can be connected to the general control system of the launch vehicle for ease of operation.
Optionally, the gas pipeline 460 and the gas valve switch 450 may be connected to the inner sidewall of the first fairing section 110 through a support or a connector, so as to prevent the gas pipeline 460 and the gas valve switch 450 from shaking and affecting the communication effect.
Optionally, the outer cylinder wall of the piston cylinder 410 is secured to the inner side wall of the first fairing section 110 by a first support. Since the opening 411 of the piston cylinder 410 in the embodiment of the present application faces the second fairing section 120 and the closed end of the piston cylinder 410 is connected to the high pressure gas cylinder 430 through the gas line 460, the outer cylinder wall of the piston cylinder 410 can be connected to the first fairing section 110 without affecting the installation of the gas line 460 and the movement of the pushrod body 441. The first supporting member may be a supporting frame or a supporting rod, which can realize that the outer cylinder wall of the piston cylinder 410 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the first fairing segment 110.
Optionally, the high pressure gas cylinder 430 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the first fairing section 110 through a second support member, so as to be separable together with the first fairing section 110. The high pressure gas cylinder 430 may be fixedly mounted by a second support member, which may be a support frame or a connector capable of holding the high pressure gas cylinder 430.
In this embodiment, the piston cylinder 410 and the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 are respectively and fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the first cowling split body 110 through a support member, so as to ensure the stability of the whole high-pressure gas supply system; when the first fairing section 110 is separated from the second fairing section 120, the piston cylinder 410 and the high-pressure gas cylinder 430 can be separated together with the first fairing section 110, other structures of the launch vehicle cannot be damaged, and the safety is high.
In some embodiments, with reference to fig. 3, since the push rod body 441 abuts against the piston 420 in the piston cylinder 410, in order to ensure that the push rod body 441 is smoothly separated from the opening 411 of the piston cylinder 410, and considering that the contact area between the push rod body 441 and the piston 420 may affect the separation power, in the embodiment of the present invention, a push rod ball 441a is disposed at one end of the push rod body 441 close to the piston 420, and the push rod ball 441a (spherical surface) is in spherical contact with the piston 420 (flat surface), so that a larger separation power can be provided under the condition of the same contact area.
Alternatively, one end of the push rod body 441 close to the piston 420 may be provided with a conical structure, and the rest of the push rod body 441 is provided with a cylindrical structure, so as to be in sliding fit with the inside of the cylinder of the push rod 440. The diameter of the tapered structure is gradually reduced toward the direction approaching the piston 420, so that the interference between the push rod body 441 and the opening 411 of the piston cylinder 410 can be avoided, and the normal separation of the push rod body 441 and the piston cylinder 410 can be ensured. The push rod ball 441a is located at the end position of the tapered structure near the piston 420, and the push rod 440 abuts against the piston 420, which is equivalent to increase the area of the end of the push rod body 441, thereby improving the stability of the abutment of the push rod body 441 and the piston 420.
In this embodiment, the push rod ball 441a is disposed at one end of the push rod body 441 close to the piston 420, and the spherical contact between the push rod ball 441a and the piston 420 is utilized, so that a larger separation power can be provided under the condition of the same contact area, and meanwhile, the stability of the push rod body 441 abutting against the piston 420 can be improved.
In some embodiments, in order to provide larger separation power, the number of the separation devices 400 may be set as a plurality of sets, and the plurality of sets of separation devices 400 may operate simultaneously, so as to provide larger separation power for the fairing body 100, and the whole fairing separation system operates more stably and has higher reliability.
Optionally, the projections of the piston cylinders 410 of the separating devices 400 in the plane of the separating surface 130 are linearly distributed. For example: the separation devices 400 may be arranged in a linear manner in the vertical direction in fig. 1 or in a linear manner in the horizontal direction in fig. 1. It should be noted that the piston cylinders 410 and the push rods 440 of adjacent separation devices 400 are arranged in parallel to ensure that the separation power provided by each set of separation devices 400 is in the same direction.
Optionally, the projections of the piston cylinders 410 of the separating devices 400 in the plane of the separating surface 130 are distributed in an array. For example: with reference to the vertical direction in fig. 1, the piston cylinders 410 and the corresponding push rods 440 of the respective sets of separating devices 400 are arranged in an array of 2 (rows) × 2 (columns) or an array of 3 (rows) × 2 (columns) in a direction perpendicular to the separating plane 130.
In the embodiment of the present application, the number and the positions of the separating devices 400 to be arranged are reasonably selected according to the inner space of the cowl body 100, so that the separating power of the cowl body 100 can be relatively balanced, and a larger separating power can be provided, which is beneficial to further shortening the separating time of the cowl body 100.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, for convenience of description, a plane perpendicular to the separating plane 130 is set as a symmetry plane 500 in the present embodiment, and the central axis of the fairing body 100 is located at the intersection of the symmetry plane 500 and the separating plane 130. Wherein the first fairing section 110 is symmetrical about the plane of symmetry 500 and the second fairing section 120 is also symmetrical about the plane of symmetry 500.
In this embodiment, in order to provide relatively uniform separation power for the separation of the fairing body 100, the number of sets of the separation devices 400 may be set to be even. Wherein, the separation devices 400 of even number sets can be divided into two groups, and the two groups of separation devices 400 are also symmetrically arranged about the symmetry plane 500, so that the number and the position distribution of the separation devices 400 at the two sides of the symmetry plane 500 are relatively uniform, thereby being beneficial to the separation of the fairing body 100; and the two sets of separation devices 400 may be placed on either side of a payload 300 (e.g., a spacecraft) placed within the fairing without affecting the installation of the separation devices 400.
It should be noted that, for convenience of illustrating specific distribution positions of the separating devices, only the projection of the piston cylinder 410 is illustrated in the separating plane 130 in fig. 4, and the corresponding projection position of the piston rod 440 may refer to the projection position of the piston cylinder 410, and the axes of the piston cylinder 410 and the piston rod 440 are located on the same straight line.
Alternatively, with continued reference to FIG. 4, to take into account the separation force of the fairing and the self weight of the fairing separation system, the number of separation devices 400 in the embodiment of the present application is provided in sets of four.
Specifically, the four sets of separation devices 400 are divided into two sets, each set including two sets of separation devices 400. For the two sets of separation devices 400 in each set, the piston cylinders 410 in each set of separation devices 400 are spaced apart in a direction parallel to the center axis of the cowl (spaced apart vertically in FIG. 1).
