1. APPARATUS FOR QUICKLY OPENING, DAMPING, HOLDING OPEN, AND CLOSING A HINGED CLOSURE MEMBER The invention relates to a device intended for the damping and holding in open position of a quick opening door.
Certain types of missiles are launched from sealed containers which simultaneously serve the function of the launching ramp.
During the launching sequence and before firing, the container front and rear doors must be very rapidly opened (a few tenths of a second).
The opening of these doors is remote controlled through explosive bolts associated with powerful springs mounted inside the container, thus driving the door in the opening direction with a force of great magnitude.
Under no circumstances should the door be allowed to rebound or to reclose during the time of the launching sequence. Therefore, the door should be locked in the open position. After the launching is completed, the door should be reclosed to seal the container and to protect its internal elements against outside environmental damage. The door reclosure can be performed either locally or through remote control.
The aforementioned conditions imply that such a device should have the following specifications:
It should provide efficient damping; i.e., quickly absorb a very large amount of energy (2,000 Joules in 0.3 seconds, for example) to avoid an undesired opening. The end-of-travel should be gradually decelerated to avoid shocks and rebounds likely to damage the door and the locking device.
It should ensure complete immobilization of the door at the end of the opening travel, during the firing sequence and up to the moment when the unlocking order is given. This immobilization will be maintained irrespective to the external effects acting upon the system, such as missile take-ofi blast, green seas, squalls, etc..
it should enable the door to be reclosed, i.e., be capable of compressing the springs acting upon the door.
It should be remotely controllable.
It should be contained within the external dimensions of the stand.
Currently known hydraulic devices allow the opening of a door with end-of-travel braking, holding in open position and then reclosure of the door. Such devices make use of a jack which ensures a motive function for the door. As a result, and due to the inertia involved, these devices do not provide very quick opening of the door.
Furthermore, locking in the open position should be perfect, regardless of the operating conditions, which is not the case with known devices.
The present invention achieves a device for opening and reliably holding in open position a quick opening door meeting the above stated requirements.
The invention more particularly concerns a damping and open-position holding device for a quick opening door. The latter will be of the type featuring at least one spring causing the door to open, said device being characterized by the fact that it comprises a jack, the piston rod of which is hinged to a variable reduction lever connected to the door; the jack and the lever are associated with means allowing the opening motion to be decelerated, as well as with the devices for locking the door in the open position.
More precisely, the device according to this invention may incorporate a hydraulic jack fitted with an end-of-travel brake comprising a truncated coneshaped end which penetrates into a diaphragm internal to the jack. The locking means may either consist of a hydraulic element which traps part of the fluid discharged during the damping, such as a controllednonreturn valve, or a mechanical locking element of the locking hook type actuated by a hydraulic control unit.
The following description together with the appended drawings illustrate, as an illustrative example not intended to be exhaustive, an embodiment of a device in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 1 is a diagram of the automatic hydraulic equipment for door actuation.
FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate the extreme positions of the linking elements and door.
FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 illustrate the automatic hydraulic locking and reclosure version in its various configurations.
FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate the mechanical locking and reclosure version.
FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate the mechanical locking, hydraulic unlocking and reclosure version.
FIG. 11 illustrates a sealed container launching ramp incorporating the present invention.
The advantageous apparatus of the present invention may be used for damping during opening, locking, and closing the front and rear doors or closure members of a missile container (which may also serve as a launching ramp) as illustrated in FIG. 11. The container and inventive apparatus comprise variable reduction lever 3 linked with door 1 of container 50 through yoke 4 having 1 of freedom. Damping cylinder 2 ensures that the movement of the door is damped during opening, that the door is locked in open position, and may reclose the door.
in FIG. 1, linking element A comprises lever 3, two sections of which are made integral with the container door through yoke 4, with l of freedom opposite this yoke; element 5 of the lever is detachable to retain the yoke in the lever, the latter being connected to the stand by a pin. The support includes a yoke and a duckbill 22 used only in the mechanical locking version.
The jack is single or double acting depending on whether the locking is performed hydraulically or mechanically.
In the hydraulic locking version, the jack operation is ensured by a hydraulic control unit C connected to an oil supply and pressurizing system D1 or D2.
The hydraulic control unit as shown in FIGS. 2-6, comprises a block 10, mounted on the jack, including a nonreturn valve 10C which is calibrated to five bars and controlled by a two-direction hydrovalve 10H. The block may be supplemented by a valve calibrated to 10 bars and fitted into the oil reservoir return line.
This block is interconnected with both ends of the cylinder chamber by means of lines or ports.
The oil feed and pressurization assembly consists ei ther of an accumulator l3 capable of absorbing a very high instantaneous flow or a reservoir 17 collecting the oil upon door opening; it also allows feeding a handoperated or motor driven oil pump 18 used for door reclosure.
The equipment operates as follows:
The door is caused to open by the bursting of an explosive bolt. At the time of bursting, the door is actuated in the opening directionup to its end-of-travel under the action of powerful springs. The door then pushes back lever 3 which acts upon piston 7, thus compressing the oil contained within the cylinder chamber including diaphragm ll located on the opposite side of the piston from the piston rod. The oil flows through the diaphragm, the corresponding end port of the chamber, hydrovalve 10H, non-return valve 10C calibrated to bars, partly to the chamber recess containing the piston rod and partly through valve 19 calibrated to bars towards accumulator 13 or reservoir 17. At the end-of-travel, the truncated cone shaped end 8 penetrates into the diaphragm and gradually decelerates the opening motion by fluid throttling.
The door locking is performed by non-return valve 10C which traps the fluid within the chamber recess containing the piston rod.
Unlocking and reclosure of the door are ensured by pump 18. When actuated, the latter discharges the pressurized fluid into hydrovalve 10H which lifts valve 10C thus allowing the fluid trapped in the chamber recess, containingthe piston rod, to return to the reservoir via valve 19.
Simultaneously, the displacement of hydrovalve 10H applies the fluid to the face of the piston opposite rod 6.
Upon door reclosure, the hydrovalve and the valves are returned to their original positions.
In the mechanical locking" version, the chamber recess containing the piston rod is air vented.
The other chamber recess is interconnected with oil accumulator 13.
A hinged duckbill 22 actuated by spring permits the yoke of lever 3 to be latched at the end-of-travel, as shown in FIGS. 7-10.
The door reclosure is performed by a mechanical device which applies torque 0 upon the lever pin.
The opening procedure is identical to the preceding case. The oil compressed within the recess containing the diaphragm flows through the latter towards the accumulator. At the opening end-of-travel, the yoke of lever 3 is latched by the duckbill.
Unlocking takes place through manual action f upon the duckbill while reclosure is obtained by applying a torque c upon the lever.
in the mechanical locking, hydraulic unlocking and reclosure version, the mechanism is similar to the previous one with the exception of the following additional items: a hydrovalve-jack assembly 21, a pressurized oil generator including reservoir 17 and hand-operated or motor driven pump 18.
Upon door opening, the hydrovalve is in the rest position and the whole operating procedure takes place as described above.
The unlocking and reclosure of the door are achieved by starting the pump which discharges the pressurized oil into the hydrovalve; the latter then lifts the duckbill and allows the oil to flow into the chamber recess containing the diaphragm, thus causing the door to close.
The present invention is applicable for use in sealed containers for missiles and in all devices requiring sudden opening and locking of a door-type closure element.
The herein described apparatus may be subjected to modifications involving the replacement of the mechanical or hydraulic elements by their technical equivalents. For example, the non-return valve 10C may be replaced by an electrovalve, whereas the hydraulic system may be replaced by a pneumatic system, the first stated however being preferable for use in missile containers.
