Abstract:

It takes a long time to manufacture the breechblock firing pushrods by using the selective laser melting technology in wartime. An emergency configuration design method of breechblock firing pushrod based on the selective laser melting technology is proposed. The impact resistance of lattice structure and the feasibility of applying it to emergency configuration design are studied by finite element simulation and impact test. An emergency configuration of split firing pushrod is designed by using a static simulation method, and a mechanical performance test is designed to verify whether its mechanical properties and service performance meet the requirements. The results show that, among the four lattice structures of body-centered cubic (BCC), body-centered cubic with Z-rod (BCC_Z), face-centered cubic (F2CC) and face-centeredcubic with Z-rod (F2CC_Z), BCC_Z has better comprehensive performance and better impact resistance. Compared with the original firing pushrod, the manufacturing time of the emergency configuration firing pushrod is reduced by 21.56%, its volume is reduced by 25.65%, and the maximum impact load is reduced by 32.14%. After 100 times of repeated switch latch test experiments, there is no obvious wear on the surface of the emergency configuration firing pushrod, which has good service performance and meets the requirements of use. The effectiveness of the design method of the emergency configuration firing pushrod for battlefield repair is verified.
