Quick disconnect coupler for rocket motor

An aeronautical platform comprising:

• a first section;
• a second section;
• and
• a coupler section configured to couple the first section to the second section and provide a disconnect capability, the coupler section comprising
• a cylindrical housing configured to be fixedly attached to the first section,
• a spin member disposed within the housing and configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the platform,
• a groove pattern etched into the spin member,
• a plunger disposed within the spin member and configured to move linearly along the longitudinal axis,
• a first spring configured to cause the linear movement of the plunger in response to acceleration of the platform,
• a guide pin attached to the plunger, the guide pin extending radially outward toward the housing and configured to travel along the groove pattern as the plunger moves,
• a ball coupler mechanism configured to provide mechanical attachment of the coupler system to the second section, and
• a second spring configured to rotate the spin member, such that a combination of the movement of the plunger and the rotation of the spinner cause the ball coupler mechanism to disengage from the second section.

A method for fabricating a coupler system, the method comprising:

• configuring a cylindrical housing to be fixedly attached to a first section of an aeronautical platform;
• disposing a spin member within the housing, the spin member configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the platform;
• etching a groove pattern into the spin member;
• disposing a plunger within the spin member, the plunger configured to move linearly along the longitudinal axis;
• configuring a first spring to cause the linear movement of the plunger in response to acceleration of the platform;
• attaching a guide pin to the plunger, the guide pin extending radially outward toward the housing and configured to travel along the groove pattern as the plunger moves;
• configuring a ball coupler mechanism to provide mechanical attachment of the coupler system to a second section of the aeronautical platform;
• and
• configuring a second spring to rotate the spin member, such that a combination of the movement of the plunger and the rotation of the spinner cause the ball coupler mechanism to disengage from the second section.
