[0033] In the embodiment, the two side plates are respectively a first side plate 110 and a second side plate 120. The adaptive flame stabilizer 10 is arranged in the afterburner. When the afterburner works, the oil injection rod 500 injects oil into the first nozzle 210, and the telescopic assembly 300 is extended under the action of oil pressure, and then the two side plates 100 are pushed to rotate to the side away from each other by the two linkage assemblies 600, that is, a V-shaped groove is formed between the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120, which is beneficial to stabilize the flame and ensure the stability and reliability of the combustion process. When the afterburner does not need to work, the oil injection rod 500 stops injecting oil, the telescopic assembly 300 is retracted, and then the two side plates 100 are pulled to rotate to the side close to each other by the two linkage assemblies 600, so that the two side plates 100 are folded, and the aerodynamic resistance of the afterburner can be effectively reduced, and the flow resistance loss in the non-afterburning state is reduced.

[0034] It should be noted that as long as the extension direction of the telescopic assembly 300 does not coincide with the rotation axis direction of the two side plates 100, the telescopic assembly 300 can drive the corresponding side plate 100 to rotate around the rotation axis when the telescopic assembly 300 is extended. Optionally, the extension direction of the telescopic assembly 300 is perpendicular to the rotation axis. Or the extension direction of the telescopic assembly 300 is perpendicular to the rotation axis and the second direction at the same time, and the second direction is from one side plate 100 to the other side plate 100.

[0035] In some other embodiments, at least a group of oil injection holes are formed in the first nozzle, and the injection direction of the same group of oil injection holes is inclined to one side plate. In the afterburning state, the oil injection nozzle injects oil, so that at least one side plate rotates to the side away from the other side plate; in the non-afterburning state, at least one side plate rotates to the side close to the other side plate under the action of high-speed airflow.

[0036] In some embodiments, the telescopic assembly 300 includes a cylinder body 310, a piston 320 arranged in the cylinder body 310, and a piston rod 340 connected to the piston 320 at one end. One end of the cylinder body 310 is in communication with the first nozzle 210, and the end of the piston rod 340 away from the piston 320 extends out of the cylinder body 310. The end of the piston rod 340 extending out of the cylinder body 310 is rotationally connected to the two linkage assemblies 600 at the same time.

[0037] In the embodiment, in the afterburning state, the first nozzle 210 injects oil, and then pushes the piston 320 to move in the cylinder body 310, so that the piston rod 340 gradually extends out of the cylinder body 310. At this time, the extended piston rod 340 can push the corresponding side plate 100 to rotate to the side away from each other through the linkage assembly 600. In the non-afterburning state, the first nozzle 210 stops injecting oil, and at this time, the two side plates 100 can rotate to the side close to each other under the action of high-speed airflow, and then push the piston rod 340 to retract into the cylinder body 310.

[0038] In some embodiments, the telescopic assembly 300 comprises an elastic member 330, which is arranged in the cylinder 310 and abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 310 at one end and abuts against the piston 320 at the other end.

[0039] Specifically, the elastic member 330 is sleeved on a section of the piston rod 340 located in the cylinder 310. In the force-adding state, the first nozzle 210 sprays oil, and the piston 320 moves away from the first nozzle 210 in the cylinder 310 to compress the elastic member 330, so that the piston rod 340 gradually extends out of the cylinder 310, and then the elongated piston rod 340 drives the corresponding side plates 100 to rotate away from each other through the connecting rod assembly 600; in the non-force-adding state, the first nozzle 210 stops spraying oil, and at this time the piston rod 340 can be retracted into the cylinder 310 under the elastic force of the elastic member 330, and then the two side plates 100 rotate towards each other.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting rod assembly 600 comprises a first connecting rod 610 and a second connecting rod 620 connected in sequence, the first connecting rod 610 is rotationally connected with the piston rod 340, and the second connecting rod 620 is fixedly connected with the side plate 100 at an end away from the first connecting rod 610.

[0041] Specifically, the second connecting rod 620 is a V-shaped structure, that is, the second connecting rod 620 is fixedly connected with the side plate 100 through two connecting points, which can improve the connection stability of the second connecting rod 620 and the side plate 100 and the rotation stability of the side plate 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, the flame-adaptive flame holder 10 comprises a fixed support plate 400 for fixedly connecting with the combustion chamber, the fixed support plate 400 is an arc-shaped structure, and the fixed support plate 400 is rotationally connected with the two side plates 100 at the circumferential two ends.

[0043] Specifically, the two side plates 100 are rotationally connected with the fixed support plate 400 through hinges or shafts.

[0044] In combination Figure 3 In some other embodiments, the fixed support plate 400 comprises a first plate 410 and a second plate 420 arranged at intervals, the first plate 410 and the second plate 420 are coaxially arranged arc-shaped structures, the first plate 410 is located on the inner side of the second plate 420, and the circumferential two ends of the first plate 410 extend out of the second plate 420; the two side plates 100 each have an arc-shaped end 130, and the arc-shaped ends 130 of the two side plates 100 are respectively inserted between the first plate 410 and the second plate 420 from the circumferential two ends of the second plate 420.

[0045] Specifically, the first plate 410 and the second plate 420 can be connected to each other at the circumferential middle parts, and the first plate 410 and the second plate 420 can not be connected to each other at the circumferential end parts, i.e., the fixed support plate 400 is a double-layer structure arc structure connected at the middle part, so that the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120 can be inserted between the double-layer structure from the circumferential two ends of the double-layer structure, respectively. At the same time, the first plate 410 is located at the inner side of the second plate 420, and the circumferential two ends of the first plate 410 extend to the outside of the second plate 420, so as to facilitate the rotation of the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120 to the side away from each other or to the side close to each other.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second nozzle 220 is provided with a spray port for spraying oil into the afterburner, and the second nozzle 220 is arranged in the direction of the rotation axis and spaced apart from the first nozzle 210.

[0047] The first nozzle 210 and the second nozzle 220 can be arranged according to actual needs, for example, the number of the first nozzle 210 is two, two first nozzles 210 are arranged at the two ends of the oil injection rod 500 in the first direction, and a plurality of second nozzles 220 are arranged between the two first nozzles 210; or the first nozzle 210 and the second nozzle 220 are arranged alternately; or the number of the first nozzle 210 is three, two first nozzles 210 are arranged at the two ends of the oil injection rod 500 in the first direction, and the third first nozzle 210 is arranged at the middle part of the oil injection rod 500 in the first direction, and at least one second nozzle 220 is arranged between the two adjacent first nozzles 210.

[0048] In some embodiments, the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 comprises a side wall and a stabilizer body, the side wall comprises a first side wall section 21 and a second side wall section 22, the inner diameter of the first side wall section 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second side wall section 22, and the stabilizer body is arranged on the first side wall section 21.

[0049] In this embodiment, since the inner diameter of the second side wall section 22 is larger than the inner diameter of the first side wall section 21, a wall surface groove is formed on the side wall of the combustion chamber, a backflow area is forcedly formed in the combustion chamber airflow through the wall surface groove structure, the high-temperature flame is stabilized, and the high-speed airflow is prevented from being blown out; at the same time, the mixing time of fuel and air is prolonged, the turbulent mixing and evaporation are promoted, and the combustion efficiency is improved.

[0050] Specifically, the side wall can be the side wall of the combustion chamber, and the number of the stabilizer body can be multiple, and the multiple stabilizer bodies are arranged on the side wall in sequence along the circumference of the combustion chamber. Each stabilizer body comprises two side plates 100 connected in rotation, an oil injection rod 500, and a connecting rod mechanism.

[0051] In combination with Figure 4 andFigure 5 The embodiment of the present application also discloses a thrust chamber of a jet propulsion device, which comprises a combustion chamber and a plurality of adaptive flame stabilizers 10 arranged in the combustion chamber.

[0052] In the embodiment, the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 has a thrust state and a non-thrust state. In the thrust state, the two side plates 100 are opened, that is, the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 is in a V-shaped structure, at this time, the airflow speed in the thrust chamber is very high, the V-shaped structure helps to form a relatively stable recirculation zone in the airflow, facilitates continuous ignition of fresh combustible mixture in the recirculation zone, prevents the flame from being blown out by the high-speed airflow, and ensures that the thrust combustion can be continuously and stably carried out. In the non-thrust state, the two side plates 100 are folded to be in a rectangular structure or a V-shaped structure with a smaller opening angle, thereby effectively reducing the aerodynamic resistance of the thrust chamber and reducing the flow resistance loss in the non-thrust state.

[0053] In some embodiments, the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 is a linear adaptive flame stabilizer, one end of each linear adaptive flame stabilizer is connected with the side wall 20 of the combustion chamber, and the other end extends along the radial direction of the combustion chamber.

[0054] In the embodiment, on the one hand, one end of the linear adaptive flame stabilizer is connected with the side wall 20 of the combustion chamber, and the other end extends along the radial direction of the combustion chamber, and this structure can provide reliable support for the combustion chamber. When the engine is working, the combustion chamber bears a complex mechanical environment such as high temperature and high pressure, and the linear adaptive flame stabilizer 10 can help to disperse these forces, reduce the deformation and stress concentration of the wall surface of the combustion chamber, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the combustion chamber, improving the working safety and service life of the engine.

[0055] In other embodiments, the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 is an arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizer, a plurality of arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizers are arranged in a ring structure, and the axis of the ring structure coincides with the axis of the combustion chamber.

[0056] In the embodiment, the arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizer is distributed in a ring shape around the axis of the combustion chamber, and a continuous stable flame area is formed in the entire combustion chamber, so that the combustion is more uniform, the local overheating or insufficient combustion is avoided, and the overall combustion stability and efficiency of the combustion chamber are improved.

[0057] In other embodiments, the plurality of adaptive flame stabilizers 10 are located on any cross section of the combustion chamber along the axial direction, the plurality of adaptive flame stabilizers 10 are divided into linear adaptive flame stabilizers and arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizers, the linear adaptive flame stabilizers are located on the outer periphery of the arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizers, the plurality of arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizers are arranged in a ring structure, and the axis of the ring structure coincides with the axis of the combustion chamber, one end of each linear adaptive flame stabilizer is connected with the side wall 20 of the combustion chamber, and the other end extends along the radial direction of the combustion chamber to the side close to the ring structure.

[0058] In the present embodiment, the linear adaptive flame stabilizers and the arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizers are combined, which can make the radial-to-circumferential airflow interact, and this interaction can lead to the formation of a more complex and highly turbulent flow field, which is conducive to the uniform mixing of oil and gas. In addition, in the part where the linear adaptive flame stabilizers and the arc-shaped adaptive flame stabilizers are close to each other, it is beneficial to better promote the growth of flame nuclei, so as to form a plurality of small high-temperature regions in the combustion chamber, which become the core of flame growth and propagation, and can further promote combustion and improve combustion efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 is divided into a first flame stabilizer 11 and a second flame stabilizer 12, the length of the first flame stabilizer 11 is greater than the length of the second flame stabilizer 12, and the first flame stabilizer 11 and the second flame stabilizer 12 are arranged in turn along the circumferential direction of the combustion chamber.

[0060] In the present embodiment, the first flame stabilizer 11 and the second flame stabilizer 12 both extend along the radial direction of the combustion chamber, and the first flame stabilizer 11 and the second flame stabilizer 12 with different lengths are arranged in turn, which can avoid interference of the first flame stabilizer 11 and the second flame stabilizer 12 close to the center of the combustion chamber, facilitate the first flame stabilizer 11 to extend to the center of the combustion chamber, improve the flame stability of the center of the combustion chamber, improve the fuel utilization rate, and improve the combustion efficiency.

[0061] Further, along the direction from the outer periphery to the center of the combustion chamber, the distance between adjacent two nozzles 200 becomes larger and larger, which is conducive to the uniformity of oil and gas on the entire circumferential surface of the combustion chamber.

[0062] In some embodiments, the side wall 20 of the combustion chamber includes a first side wall section 21 and a second side wall section 22, the inner diameter of the first side wall section 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second side wall section 22, the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 is arranged on the first side wall section 21, the rotation axis is inclined from the first side wall section 21 to the second side wall section 22, and the injection direction of the nozzle is toward the second side wall section 22.

[0063] In the embodiment, the inner diameter of the second side wall segment 22 is larger than that of the first side wall segment 21, so that a wall surface groove is formed on the side wall of the combustion chamber, a backflow area is forcedly formed in the combustion chamber airflow through the wall surface groove structure, the high-temperature flame is stabilized, and the flame is prevented from being blown out by the high-speed airflow; at the same time, the mixing time of the fuel and air is prolonged, the turbulent mixing and evaporation are promoted, and the combustion efficiency is improved. The injection direction of the nozzle 200 is perpendicular to the direction of the rotation axis and the extension direction of the oil injection channel 211, that is, when the rotation axis is inclined from the first side wall segment 21 to the second side wall segment 22, that is, the nozzle 200 is inclined to the second side wall segment 22, so that the fuel injection is formed on the second side wall segment 22 to form a vortex, and the oil-gas mixing is further promoted.

[0064] Specifically, the difference between the inner diameter of the first side wall segment 21 and the inner diameter of the second side wall segment 22 is H, the radius of the second side wall segment 22 is R, and the range of H is 0.01R-0.1R. The above relationship between the radius and the difference can adapt to combustion chambers of different sizes and ensure that the combustion chambers of different sizes have good combustion efficiency.

[0065] Specifically, the angle α between the adaptive flame stabilizer 10 and the side wall 20 of the combustion chamber is 30°-80°.

[0066] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, they should be considered as the scope of the present application.

It should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.
