Heat pipe and ultrasonic wave combined ice preventing and removing device and method utilizing waste heat of aircraft engine

Abstract

The invention provides a heat pipe and ultrasonic wave combined ice preventing and removing device and method utilizing waste heat of an aircraft engine. The device comprises a heat pipe ice-preventing system, an ultrasonic oscillation ice removing system, a program control system, an atmospheric temperature sensor and an icing strength annunciator. The heat pipe ice-preventing system comprises a communicating pipe installed at the tail portion of the engine to absorb exhaust waste heat and a heat pipe bank bundle with an evaporation section connected with the communicating pipe. The ultrasonic oscillation ice removing system comprises an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer unit connected with the output end of the ultrasonic generator through a connecting cable. The program control system automatically controls on and off between the heat pipe bank bundle and the communicating pipe and starting or stopping of the ultrasonic generator according to a temperature signal and an icing strength signal. By means of the synergistic effect of heat pipes and ultrasonic waves, preventing and removing can be combined, compared with a method for removing ice simply through ultrasonic waves, the icing phenomenon of wings is greatly reduced, the flying stability of an aircraft is ensured, and a system is safe and reliable.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an anti-icing device, in particular to a heat pipe ultrasonic combined anti-icing and deicing device and method using aircraft engine waste heat, and belongs to the technical field of aircraft anti-icing and deicing. Background technique [0002] Icing is one of the main causes of aircraft flight accidents. According to statistics, about 9% of aircraft accidents are caused by icing, especially the icing on the leading edges of aircraft wings and tails, which will increase airfoil drag and lift. Descent, the reduction of the critical angle of attack, and the deterioration of maneuverability and stability will cause the aircraft to lose control of its maneuverability during take-off and landing, and eventually cause serious flight accidents. [0003] Aiming at the problem of anti-icing and deicing of wings and tail fins during flight, hot air anti-icing technology is widely used at present, that is, during flight, the use of hot air dra...
