Rocking assembly of chamber of liquid-propellant engine (lpe) // 2555092

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to rocking assemblies of a combustion chamber of a liquid-propellant

engine (LPE) and can be used for installation of a geometrical axis of the chamber rocking in one plane to
the specified position with high accuracy. In the rocking assembly between an inner bearing race and a
trunnion there installed is an additional threaded bushing with a flange for a bearing retainer plate, which
contacts to the mating thread of the trunnion, in traverses, at bolt installation points, there are holes in the form of oval slots,
between bases of the frame and the traverses there are adjustment gaskets from a steel plate installed, between traverses
and bolt heads there are installed double support steel washers of increased thickness with holes for bolts; a pin is installed
between the threaded bushing and the trunnion.

EFFECT: invention ensures high accuracy of installation of a geometrical axis and a rocking axis of the chamber on the
engine relative to a common axis of the engine and its mounting plane; improving attachment reliability of traverses to bases
of the frame and excluding rotation of the threaded bushing relative to the trunnion.

Cardan suspension of liquid-fuel rocket engine // 2556762

https://russianpatents.com/patent/255/2556762.html 10/11
30/5/2020 Cardan suspension of liquid-fuel rocket engine

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: in the cardan suspension of liquid-fuel rocket engine containing a supporting and movable
truncated cones connected via the cardan assembly comprising hollow spherical journal penetrated by the
movable and fixed pivot pins, axial bearing installed inside the blind nut, coaxially screwed in the bottom
end of the supporting cone, two steering machines with top and bottom securing frames, spherical journal
provided with flange for securing to top end of the movable cone includes a through channel, for example,
rectangular cross-section with penetrated through it coaxial external and movable and internal fixed pivot
pins, at that the top wall of the channel is made with central concave cylindrical surface with pivot pin, perpendicular to the
fixed pin, and movable pivot pin contains lug with convex cylindrical surface entering in contact with concave cylindrical
surface of the through channel, and ensuring sliding on it of the cylindrical surface of lug of the movable pin in limited range,
and top fixed supporting cone is provided with fork-like clamp secured at both ends of the fixed pin, made in form of fitted bolt
with head and nut. Each hinge point of securing of two steering machines is secured on the frame comprising brace strut
hingedly secured to one of the walls of the appropriate cone, and horizontally located bracket of triangular shape with pair of
eye rings secured in forks installed on top or bottom seat flange of the cones.

EFFECT: increased reliability of the structure, and independent operation of the rocking system.

Liquid propellant engine swing assembly // 2559220

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed assembly is arranged between the chamber and gas duct including sealing
device, spherical fixed case, moving barrel, fixed and moving shields to make a lengthwise channel and
frame gimbal. The latter can swing with the chamber and sealing device in two mutually perpendicular planes relative to
common centre and gas duct. In compliance with this invention, said sealing device is functionally integrated with structural
elements and includes structural leading bearing insert. The latter is rigidly secured at said barrel and has ball surface
equidistant from the case spherical surface. Said surface is coated with material of low friction factor and high sealing
property, for example, "Aphtalom". Besides, frame gimbal incorporates adjusting spacers to be fitted between gimbal forks
and spherical case to control axial force distribution at ball insert and gimbal. Fixed shield with gas duct inlet nozzle
composed by confuser with minimum diameter some 25-30% smaller than inlet diameter with further changeover to diffuser
while moving shield is composed of diffuser with regenerative cooling channels.

EFFECT: simplified design, compact design, decreased weight and sizes.
