The present invention relates to the used device of rocket launching, and may be used for rocket and transport process, wherein be equipped with in the rocket and will be launched the used load of lift-off.
The beast that is used for used load is transported to space is made up of multistage, at different levelsly makes respectively.Used load, for example satellite is that place of erection and the rocket of making separately and transport rocket subsequently to is assembled together.
The beast length that is used for used load is transported to space can reach 50 meters or more.Rocket carries out optimization according to its weight, and rocket vertically can bear sizable load, and laterally can only bear very little load.Fill the power that whole rocket produced and the moment of flexure of fuel when therefore rocket can not bear horizontal positioned.
Rocket comprises many advanced persons' system, and as mechanical system, electronic system and optical system, the assembling of these systems is quite complicated, and needs to carry out comprehensive dead work before emission.
In the prior art, the filling of assembling, dead work, transportation and fuel is all carried out when the rocket main shaft is in vertical direction, thereby prevents described power and moment of flexure.Rocket is vertically placed in transporting the way, launch site to, and launches at county of emission.
When rocket is vertically placed, assemble with dead work and need utilize devices such as scaffold, to guarantee to reach the different piece of rocket.Owing to remove outside the obstacle such as bridge, transport when horizontal direction is quickened in the process, so high structure also can be subjected to enormous function power, and therefore, the long-distance rocket that transports vertical placement is practically impossible.Therefore according to prior art, the assembling of rocket and dead work are to carry out in the place very near from the rocket launching place.
Because the rotation of the earth, the optimal position of firing a rocket is the equator.Yet the assembling of beast and dead work need considerable human and material resources, but and these resources just obtain in other area away from the equator most convenient.Therefore, in fact the assembling of rocket, preparation and emission can be carried out in the place that obtains resource requirement easily, thereby abandon the preceence of firing a rocket from the equator, and perhaps rocket can be in the place emission nearer from the equator, but the difficulty in the logistics can corresponding increase.
US 4 747 334 has described a kind of unsteady feedway of cosmic rocket.This device transports the launch site to by semisubmersible tug boat class ship.The ship submerged also sails out of, and this device then rests in the water.In this case, rocket always is erected on the flat pad always, and precondition is that rocket is pre-assembled.
US 5 042 358 has described a kind of unsteady flat pad of cosmic rocket.In transporting the way of launch site to, platform is by the ship carrying of semisubmersible tug boat class, and this ship is dragging platform.Ship submerged and sailing out of then, platform then rests in the water.In this case, rocket also is erected on the flat pad always, and precondition is that rocket is pre-assembled.
US 4 916 999 has described the used a kind of lifting platform of firing a rocket.Rocket appropriate location on the coast vertically is installed in one and is movably installed.Rocket and this device are moved on the lifting platform together, are transported to marine launch site with rear platform.Each leg of flat-bed immerses in water and is fixed on the bottom at this moment, thereby constitutes a quite firm base in emission process.
Thereby how above-mentioned patent can carry out the emission of rocket as the equator from desirable position if having been described, but do not point out how easily mode is transported rocket, and rocket is vertically placed the unfavorable factor that is produced when avoiding transporting.
The purpose of this invention is to provide the used device of a kind of rocket launching, and may be used for the transportation of rocket, the used load that need launch is housed in this rocket, utilizes this device can obtain assembling and the required resource of dead work easily, remain on the preceence of firing a rocket in the equator simultaneously.
This purpose realizes that by the device of type described in the brief introduction this apparatus features is stated in the claims.
What should emphasize is that what the present invention relates to is beast.The design of pencil rocket is fairly simple, and assembling, preparation and transportation are easier, thereby not within the scope of the present invention.
In the present invention, rocket is when assembling, preparing and transporting the launch site to, and its main shaft keeps horizontal direction, wherein rocket by multistage assembly and the used load that is about to transport to space form.Because rocket is placed on one or more purpose made carriages or the crane carriage, thereby the distribution of weight makes moment of flexure reduce, big application force that weight of fuel causes and moment of flexure problem obtain part and solve, because the filling of sizable a part of fuel will be erected at vertical position at rocket to be carried out later on, this problem also can partly be solved in addition.
The assembling of rocket, preparation and possibility transport whole or part all can be carried out on a transportation means, is moved on the floating installation under the condition of main shaft maintenance horizontal direction at whole rocket on the transportation means.Floating installation moves remaining distance alternatively and arrives the launch site then, is erected at vertical position and launches at the launch site rocket.
Therefore it is possible transporting rocket in a kind of easy mode, is perhaps partly or entirely transported by transportation means, perhaps is transported to the transmitting site of equator coideal by floating installation.
In preferred embodiments, floating installation comprises required whole of the dead work of rocket launching or whole device roughly.
In another preferred embodiment, floating installation has together refitting to be put, and is used for rocket trailing wheel shipping with horizontal positioned to the deck.
In another preferred embodiment, floating installation has a storehouse, is used for laying the rocket of horizontal positioned after rocket is moved on the floating installation.
In another preferred embodiment, floating installation has a rocket pod, is preferably located in a side of floating installation.
In another preferred embodiment, floating installation is a platform.
By a specific embodiments the present invention is carried out more detailed elaboration now with reference to accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the lateral plan that is used to assemble, prepare and transport the steamer of rocket,
Fig. 2 is the flat-bed lateral plan that is used to fire a rocket.
Transportation means shown in Figure 1 is the steamer 1 with band flying deck 6.Discharging one-stage rocket 2, booster-missile combination 3, three-stage rocket 4 and used load satellite 5 on the deck.Rockets at different levels transport ship by the hatch door (not shown) of forward andor aft, move to deck 6 by wheel type trolley or balladeur train then.Rockets at different levels then are emitted on purpose made carriage or the crane carriage, and carriage or crane carriage may combine with chassis or balladeur train.
Used load is expressed as satellite 5 herein, generally transports ship by another hatch door different with rocket.It can be by shipboard hatch door or one of the hatch door by described fore or stern transport ship.Used load is also placed on balladeur train or the chassis, and is placed on the position of special carriage or crane carriage remainder.
Aboard ship, the at different levels and satellite of rocket is assembled into one piece of rocket, and its longitudinal axis is positioned at horizontal direction.By the equipment on the ship technological system of rocket is prepared then.The suitable equipment of rocket and passing of satellite links to each other with control cabin 8 on the ship, thereby can monitor rocket and satellite in control cabin.But rocket is also filling part fuel during horizontal positioned aboard ship, and fuel can be solid-state or liquid.Yet the application force and the moment of flexure that must with due regard to be subjected to thus to rocket are limited because the ability of horizontal force and corresponding moment is born in the rocket design.
After the assembling of rocket was finished, the hatch door (not shown) by fore or stern moved on the platform.Wheeled devices by a track-movable is moved to a lifting sloping platform with crane carriage from hatch door with rocket, then it is risen to platform, and this process gives the account in greater detail with reference to Fig. 2.
Floating installation shown in Figure 2 is a semisubmersible platform 20.The flat-bed primary member is made up of horizontal pontoon bridge 21, and pontoon bridge has driving screw propeller 22, by the machine driving of platform self.Pontoon bridge is provided with column 23, and deck 29 is being laid in the shaft top.Platform is equipped with hoisting device 24 and storehouse 25.
When with rocket when ship moves on the platform, as mentioned above, rocket moves on to from a hatch door of ship and promotes on the sloping platform.Rocket is raised to horizontal positioned on the platform by hoisting device 24 then, and is transported into subsequently in the storehouse 25, necessary equipment is housed in order to proceeding dead work when needing in the storehouse 25.Rocket is monitored by the control cabin 8 of ship always.Remove outside the rocket control cabin, comprise the required instrument of rocket dead work of finishing that is useful on the platform.
Before emission, rocket shifts out outside the storehouse by conveying arrangement, preferably moves along track, and moves to position shown in the dotted line 26, moves on to then on the launcher 30.Feedway is positioned at platform one side, is preferably located in the platform afterbody, and the platform afterbody is that end that is positioned at the back when mobile naturally.On launcher,, a refractory wall or allied equipment (not shown) are arranged, the flame that produces when being used to protect platform to avoid launching and the infringement of heat towards flat-bed one side.
By upset/bont 28, rocket can be risen to the vertical position shown in the reference number 27.Till this moment, the personnel on most of platforms have left platform.They leave by gap bridge between platform and the ship or ladder.Remove then and pass a bridge and ship is sailed to away from perch of flat-bed, for example leave two kms, so that continue the monitoring emission.
Rocket arrives after the vertical position, carries out last dead work, comprises as last fuel filling, and promptly the container from the platform is to the rocket filling fuel.As previously mentioned, this time last quantity of fuel of filling depends on the lateral load scope that rocket can bear.As Min., last fuel is filled should comprise filling liquid oxygen, because liquid oxygen very fast volatilization under Normal Environmental Temperature.
After last dead work was finished, last batch of platform staff took advantage of canoe or autogyro to leave platform and comes on the ship.
Actual emission process is controlled by the control cabin on the steamer.Behind rocket lift-off certain distance, change and control by land-based workstation.
Steamer may also comprise putting back to port platform subsequently.
So above-mentioned target just can realize, promptly can obtain required human and material resources easily in emission process, be transmitted in the equator and carry out and make simultaneously.
Compare with the known workaround of mentioning in the brief introduction, wherein propose the scheme that rocket is launched from platform, level transportation and keeping rocket have many benefits.At first owing to can utilize the steamer of " common " size, rocket transport more easy cheapness.In fact can be to existing steamer, reequip and utilize as the RO-RO ship.And, in transit during the rocket horizontal positioned,, can protect rocket better so transport when horizontal direction is quickened in the way because the application force that ship produces when quickening does not have the vertical arm of force.In addition, the superstructure and the passage of different piece that leads to rocket is more cheap, thereby makes and assemble, prepare and the work of transporting is carried out and can not be subjected to the influence of weather condition.
Should be pointed out that at last and use same control cabin to carry out all assemblings, preparation, manipulation and the emission work of rocket, have appreciiable advantage.Obtain a kind of low cost solution thus, can avoid the computing machine of appearance easily and the communication problem between other mechanical equipment and the control personnel.
More than wherein rocket is not moved on on the floating installation from carrier considering in the description of a preferred embodiment.Carrier and floating installation can guarantee whole rocket keeping a period of time, because all necessary telecommunication devices can be housed on ship and the floating installation, in order to the technological system of monitoring rocket and satellite in the control cabin of ship.Therefore, no matter carrier and floating installation all are stopped at the harbour, still all are positioned at the launch site, rocket can be moved on on the floating installation from carrier.
In described embodiment, shown in steamer the space of one piece of rocket is only arranged, but clearly, ship can have the required space of more rockets, from the viewpoint of reality, three pieces of rockets are a suitable maxim seemingly.
More than by a specific embodiment invention is illustrated.Yet, obviously within the scope of the present invention many modification can be arranged.For example, the present invention does not limit rocket is moved on to the used mode of floating installation from carrier.Do not utilize described hoisting device, can rocket be mentioned on the promenade deck of ship yet, by a bridge rocket is moved on to platform then by an elevator.If the use reference plane also can utilize the air cushion propelling unit to come mobile rocket, this is particularly useful for mobile heavy weight equipment.
In described embodiment, described platform is a semisubmersible platform.Yet the present invention is not limited to use this type of platform, and for example each leg places the lifting platform of bottom also can achieve the goal well.
In second embodiment, the storehouse on the floating installation also can erect, thereby makes and can carry out last checkout when rocket is vertically placed, and therefore also can be to begin to launch to beat next safer basis.Another kind of possibility is to remove whole storehouse, thereby makes design cost lower.If with the quite firm rocket of platform emission design, littler to the degree of dependence of last detection and weather condition, it is more suitable then to remove whole storehouse.
