ELECTRICAL UMBILICAL SYSTEM FOR SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLE, USING ELECTROMAGNET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/177228
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical umbilical system for a space launch vehicle, using an electromagnet, the electrical umbilical system applying an electromagnetic method so as to fix an umbilical unit to a connection module provided to a launch vehicle unit, up to a required time point, separating the umbilical unit from the connection module in response to a launch operation of the launch vehicle unit, and enabling a normal retrieval operation of the umbilical unit or an abnormal retrieval operation of the umbilical unit to be stably carried out. To this end, the electrical umbilical system for a space launch vehicle, using an electromagnet comprises: a connection module which is provided to a launch vehicle unit flyable by means of thrust; and an umbilical unit which is provided to a tower unit supporting the launch vehicle unit so as to stand upright, and which may be electrically connected to the connection module. The umbilical unit comprises: a supply module which may be electrically connected to the connection module; a connection drive module which is coupled to the tower unit and connects the supply module to the connection module; a weight body which is coupled to the tower unit so as to be vertically movable; a drive line which connects the supply module and the weight body; and a guide roller which is rotatably coupled to the tower unit and supports the drive line, wherein at least any one of the connection module and the supply module is magnetized by electricity, and thus the state of being electrically connected to each other is maintained.
