ROCKET IN A TRANSPORT-LAUNCHER CONTAINER Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F41F3/42 F42B15/00 F42B39/00 

FIELD: rocket engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to rocket engineering, namely to devices ensuring the safety of the rocket when it is placed in a transport-launcher container (TLC) on carriers, transport-charging machines, long-term storage bases. Rocket in the transport-launcher container contains an axisymmetric fuselage with support pads fixed along its outer surface, a propulsion system, folding aerodynamic surfaces, a pipe of a transport-launcher container. Fuselage of the rocket is installed in the TLC pipe with a gap, the device for sealing the internal cavities of the rocket and the TLC pipe. TLC pipe is made in the form of fastened head and tail sections. Head section is made of a material with a Young's modulus that exceeds the Young's modulus of the tail section material by at least one and a half times. Gap between the fuselage and the head section of the TLC pipe exceeds the gap between the fuselage and the tail section of the TLC pipe. Support pads are placed in the tail section of the TLC on the fuselage frames with a step not exceeding 1/7 of the length of the tail section of the TLC. Around the longitudinal axis of the fuselage of the rocket with an angular pitch not exceeding 50°, on the outer surface of the sections of the TLC pipe, support belts are made of the same material as the corresponding section. Inner surface of the tail section of the TLC pipe can be made of cylindrical shape, inner surface of the head section of the TLC pipe is cylinder-conical, expanding to the outer edge of the section. Fuselage of the rocket inside the head section is made tapering to the outer edge of the section. Part of the support pads is fixed on the line of location of the fuselage attachment assemblies of the folding aerodynamic surfaces.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to reduce the impact loads on the rocket units in the TLC, both for the calculated and random longitudinal and transverse loads, to simplify the mounting of the TLC to the launcher.
