Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and examples.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a large-volume titanium alloy gas cylinder suitable for a liquid oxygen environment comprises a gas cylinder body 1, a pipe joint 2 and a sealing structure 3;
threads are processed at the connecting part of the gas cylinder body and the pipe joint, and the sealing structure is connected and pressed through the threads; the gas cylinder body is made of a metal material compatible with a liquid oxygen environment, and the pipe joint is made of austenitic stainless steel or high-temperature alloy; the compatibility is that the gas cylinder material does not generate physical and chemical reaction when contacting with the internal and external media.
The high-pressure gas cylinder for the carrier rocket can be designed into a cylindrical, spherical and annular symmetrical structure, the structural efficiency (the product of pressure and volume of gas in the gas cylinder under unit mass) of the spherical gas cylinder is the maximum, and in order to reduce the weight of the gas cylinder, the large-volume low-temperature metal gas cylinder adopts a spherical structure scheme. The gas cylinder is formed by welding two hemispheres 11, and the structure of the cylinder body is shown in figure 1. And (3) welding the two hemispheres by adopting electron beam welding, wherein 12 is a welding line, and after the welding is finished, stress relief annealing is carried out. The semi-sphere material of the gas cylinder is made of titanium alloy, the material is in an annealing state, the semi-sphere of the gas cylinder is obtained in a die forging or hot press forming mode, and the pipe joint is obtained in a machining mode by using austenitic stainless steel or high-temperature alloy.
In addition, in order to reduce the number of the gas cylinders used by the rocket, reduce the number of the gas cylinders and the fixing devices and reduce the total assembly workload of the rocket, the volume of a single gas cylinder is designed to be 130L in the embodiment.
Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the sealing structure of the large-volume metal gas cylinder. The sealing structure of the invention is sealed by a red copper gasket, a retainer ring, a universal seal element, a pipe joint and a gas cylinder pipe nozzle through threads to provide pretightening force. In order to improve the sealing reliability, the sealing part is double-channel sealing, wherein one channel of sealing is metal sealing, and the other channel of sealing adopts a flooding plug sealing element, thereby improving the overall sealing reliability.
The material of the metal seal is generally soft metal, such as pure aluminum (L4), pure copper (T2, T3), etc. According to working conditions, copper has good compatibility with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, application experience is realized in both liquid hydrogen and liquid hydrogen, the hardness of annealed copper is low (slightly higher than that of soft aluminum), damage to the sealing surface of the gas cylinder nozzle is small by adopting a screwing installation mode, and therefore copper T2 is selected as a metal sealing member material. The form of the flood plug seal is a radial seal, the seal ring is installed in the groove, the seal lip is compressed, the deformation is offset by the spring force, and the spring force presses the seal lip against the hardware surface. The spring force and the contact of the seal lip with the hardware surface provide a sealing effect, and additional force is generated to act on the seal lip after the system pressure is established. The system pressure and the spring pressure together provide a seal.
The requirements of the low-temperature metal gas cylinder in the aspect of material selection mainly comprise: the high-strength high-temperature-resistant steel has high specific strength value, high strength performance, no brittle transition temperature region in a liquid oxygen working region, excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance, stable medium compatibility to various possibly used media, good process performance and certain mechanical performance at normal temperature.
For the problem of the compatibility of liquid oxygen, the following conclusion can be obtained through long-term soaking and cyclic tests of the liquid oxygen of the titanium alloy material: 1) after the titanium alloy sample is soaked in liquid oxygen, the appearance and the quality of the titanium alloy sample are not obviously changed; 2) the titanium alloy sample in the liquid oxygen environment impacts under the appointed mechanical impact energy, and phenomena such as sparks, detonating, explosion, combustion and the like do not occur. Therefore, the titanium alloy material is not sensitive to mechanical impact in the liquid oxygen environment. The pipe joint is made of austenitic stainless steel or high-temperature alloy, and the sealing ring is made of red copper or pure aluminum.
