Description

Description of the invention

The useful model refers to the rocket and space industry, and more specifically - to ground equipment and 2 can be used to provide transportation and docking to the launch vehicle upper stages.

There is a known device for transporting and docking the booster unit to the launch vehicle, which contains replaceable support elements (overhead fittings) that are fixed on the side surface of the booster unit (RB) and ensure transportation and docking of the RB in a horizontal position to the launch vehicle (RN) light and medium classes | see the book "Launcher rockets" edited by S. O. Osypova, M., "Voenizdat", 1981, p. 190, fig. 5. 11). 70 The disadvantage of the known device is its low operational qualities, such as: - large cross-sectional dimensions of the RB with removable support elements, which impairs the transportation of the RB by railway; - the need to strengthen the structure of the RB for fastening removable elements, which worsens the mass characteristics of the RB. 19 The closest to the proposed technical solution is the device selected as a prototype for transporting and docking the booster unit to the launch vehicle, which is described in the first patent of Ukraine Mo457200, IPC

B6b4055/00, RAT1A9/00, 2004 |. The specified device contains front and rear technological rings, which are mounted, respectively, on the outer end surfaces of the flanges of the front and rear frames of the accelerating unit with the help of fastening nodes and which rest on the bearings. The acceleration unit is transported in a horizontal position. In the assembly and test case, the booster unit is lifted by a bridge crane by the eyebolts installed on the technological rings, the RB canted into a vertical position, the rear technological ring is undocked, the RB is docked to the launch vehicle and the front technological ring is undocked. The main block is connected to the RB. The specified device is used for assembly of heavy-class rocket launchers in a vertical position | see patent of Ukraine Mob43b68A, IPC 86405/00, 2003). Instead of technological rings, cantilever trusses can be used, which are fixed on the ends of the RB | see book by B. V. Popovsky, G. V. Linevych in "Assembly and installation of large-sized devices and containers", M., "Mashinostroenie", 1986, p. 59, fig. 1.311.

The disadvantage of the well-known device is its poor operational qualities, because the upper stages have a thin-walled shell that does not allow leaning on the bearings during docking of the RB to the RN in a horizontal position.

The basis of a useful model is the task of creating an improved design of the device, which would ensure the improvement of its operational qualities by introducing new elements and technical solutions into it, such as: - the presence of a rigid half-ring mounted on the opposite end surface of the flange of the rear frame with the help of additional fastening nodes, which allows you to use the existing rear frame without strengthening the RB structure; 3o - in the rigid half-ring, there are through longitudinal cutouts for fastening nodes, radial threaded holes for fastening bolts on an additional bed and side cuts, which allows for convenient access to fastening nodes, reliable fastening of the RB during docking and minimal dimensions during transportation. ; « - at the ends of the rigid semi-ring, vertical lugs are made for the device for grasping the cargo, which Z 70 allows to rationally place the vertical lugs for overloading the rigid semi-ring. c The task is solved in such a way that the proposed device for transportation and docking

From" the booster unit to the launch vehicle, which contains the front and rear technological rings, which are mounted, respectively, on the outer ends of the flange surfaces of the front and rear frames of the booster unit with the help of fastening nodes and which rest on the bearings, it is equipped with a rigid half-ring mounted on the opposite end the surface of the flange of the rear frame with the help of additional fasteners, while the rigid half-ring has through longitudinal cutouts for fasteners, radial threaded holes for fasteners on the additional bed and side cuts. At the ends of the rigid half-ring, vertical lugs are made for the device for gripping the cargo. o To explain the design of the device and its operation, drawings and its detailed description are attached. About 20 drawings show: - Fig. 1 - general view of the device installed on the RB; from - in Fig. 2 - view A of Fig. 1 (location of the rigid half-ring on the rear frame of the RB); - in Fig. 3 - section B-B of Fig. 2 (through longitudinal section for fastening nodes); - in Fig. 4 - section B-B of Fig. 2 (fastening of the rigid half-ring to the rear frame of the RB); 29 - in Fig. 5 - section GG of Fig. 2 (directional pin); c - in Fig. 6 - section D-D of Fig. 2 (radial threaded hole); - in Fig. 7 - transportation of RB in a railway car; - in Fig. 8 - docking of RB to RN; - in Fig. 9 - section K-K of Fig. 8 (location of RB on the assembly trolley); 60 - in Fig. 10 - remote element and Fig. 8 (fastening RB to RN).

The proposed device consists of front 1 and rear 2 technological rings installed on the RB

With, and rigid semi-ring 4 (Fig. 1, 2). The rear technological ring 2 is attached with the help of fasteners 5 (10 bolts) to the outer end surface b of the flange of the rear frame 7, the front technological ring 1

It is attached with the help of fasteners 8 (bolts) to the outer end surface of the flange of the front frame 9, and the rigid half ring 4 is attached to the opposite end surface 10 of the flange of the rear frame 7 with the help of additional fasteners - 12 bolts 11 and 8 guide pins 12 (Fig. 3-6). On the rigid half-ring 4, five longitudinal cuts 13 are made for access to bolts 5, two radial threaded holes 14 for two bolts 15, two side cuts 16 and two vertical lugs 17. In the flange of the rear frame 7, holes for guiding pins 12 are made (Fig. 5). Through longitudinal cuts 13 reduce the strength of the rigid half-ring 4, so its outer diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the rear frame 7 RB 3.

In the railway car 18, the accelerating unit Z rests on the front 19 and the rear 20 logements (Fig. 7). During docking with the launch vehicle 21, the booster unit Z rests on the front 22 and the rear additional 23 lozenges of the assembly carriage 24, and the launch vehicle 21 rests on the assembly carriages 25 and 26 (Fig. 8, 9). In the end frame 7/0 27 of the launch vehicle 21, holes 28 are made for attaching the fairing (Fig. 10).

The proposed device works as follows.

At the manufacturing plant, the front technological ring 1, the rear technological ring 2 and the rigid half-ring 4 are installed on RB Z (Fig. 1). The weight of RB Z is xZt. From the manufacturing plant, the booster unit Z is transported to the technical complex of the launch vehicle in railway car 18, while RB Z is fixed to the front 19 and rear 20 bearings with the help of the front 1 and rear /5 2 technological rings, and the side sections 16 on the rigid half-ring 4 exclude the output of the overclocking unit C due to the size of the transportation. Then RB Z is refueled with fuel components (the weight of RB Z is 10-12 tons) and reloaded onto the assembly trolley 24, while the front technological ring 1 rests on the front bearing 22, and the rigid half-ring 4 on the rear additional bearing 23. Bolts 15 are installed in the radial threaded holes 14 and fasten the rigid half-ring 4 on the 2nd rear additional lodgement 23 (Fig. b, 9). Unscrew the bolts 5 and disconnect the rear technological ring 2. After that, the RB Z is moved on the assembly trolley 24 and connected to the RN 21 with the help of bolts 5 (Fig. 8, 10).

The rigid half-ring 4 eliminates the deformation of the RB C and preserves the coordinates of the holes for installing the bolts 5. Next, unscrew the bolts 11 on the rigid ring 4 and move the mounting carriage 24 along the arrow E (Fig. 1) to the length of the guide pins 12, and then lower the rear additional bearing 23 together with a rigid half-ring 4 ov downwards following the arrow Z. The fairing is connected to the RH 21 with the help of bolts that are installed in the holes 28 | see patent

of Ukraine Mo56913A, IPC B86401/00, g42815/00, 2002|1. During the flight of the launch vehicle 21, the booster block Z o separates along the K-K plane.

After assembling the RN 21, unscrew the bolts 15 (Fig. 9), attach the device for gripping the load to the lugs 17, and remove the rigid half ring 4 from the rear additional bed 23 of the assembly trolley 24. c zo Dismantling the RN 21 is carried out in the reverse sequence.

Thus, the proposed device, which has a simple and reliable design, allows you to speed up the process of preparing a launch vehicle at the technical complex. about co
