Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas generators, and in particular to a heat-insulating structure and a gas generator suitable for use in solid attitude control engine pressure fluctuations. Background Art

[0002] Under the conditions of solidification, cooling, ignition and internal pressure, the grain of a wall-cast solid rocket engine has stress singularity at its end, which can easily cause interface debonding between the grain end and the shell. This exposes the local grain surface around the end of the grain to high-temperature combustion gas, resulting in an increase in the combustion area, destroying the predetermined thrust and pressure change patterns, and even causing the combustion chamber to overload and explode.

[0003] To prevent excessive thermal stress, an artificial debonding structure is typically installed between the grain and the insulation layer. During the ignition of a pintle-type solid attitude control engine, a shock wave forms during the initial ignition phase, creating a pressure differential between the inside and outside of the artificial debonding layer. Furthermore, the reciprocating motion of the valve pintle causes pressure fluctuations in the combustion chamber, creating a pressure differential within the artificial debonding layer. This pressure differential can cause changes in stress and strain at the debonding site, potentially leading to debonding between the grain and the debonding layer, potentially causing an engine explosion. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide an insulating structure and a burner suitable for pressure fluctuations in a solid attitude control engine, so as to solve the problem in related technologies that the pressure difference will cause changes in stress and strain at the artificial debonding part, resulting in interface debonding between the grain and the artificial debonding layer, and then causing engine explosion.

[0005] In a first aspect, a heat-insulating structure suitable for use in a solid attitude control engine to withstand pressure fluctuations is provided, comprising:

[0006] a shell heat-insulating layer, the shell heat-insulating layer being used for bonding to the inner wall of the shell;

[0007] an artificial debonding layer, the artificial debonding layer comprising a first portion and a second portion distributed along the axial direction of the shell and connected to each other, the first portion being bonded to the inner wall of the shell insulation layer, and the second portion forming a first gap with the inner wall of the shell insulation layer;

[0008] Furthermore, an air guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the heat insulation layer of the shell, and the air guide groove is communicated with the first gap.

[0009] In some embodiments, the air guide groove extends axially along the housing.

[0010] In some embodiments, a projection of the air guide groove on the surface of the artificial debonding layer is located on the second portion.

[0011] In some embodiments, there are multiple air guide grooves, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the shell insulation layer.

[0012] In some embodiments, there are 12 air guide grooves.

[0013] In some embodiments, the size of the first gap is 0-0.5 mm, and when the value is 0, the second portion contacts the inner wall of the heat-insulating layer of the shell without being bonded.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the air guide groove is rectangular or arc-shaped.

[0015] In some embodiments, a lining layer is further provided on the inner wall of the artificial debonding layer.

[0016] In some embodiments, the artificial debonding layer has artificial debonding crack arrest points on its surface. The artificial debonding crack arrest points are arranged along the circumference of the artificial debonding layer and divide the artificial debonding layer into the first part and the second part.

[0017] In a second aspect, a burner is provided, comprising:

[0018] A housing, one end of which is an ignition cartridge mounting end;

[0019] And, the thermal insulation structure suitable for pressure fluctuation of a solid attitude control engine as described above, which is bonded to the inner wall of the shell, and the second part is located between the first part and the ignition cartridge mounting end;

[0020] Grain columns are filled in the thermal insulation structure.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this application include:

[0022] The thermal insulation structure provided in the present application provides an artificial debonding layer which is divided into two parts, one part being a first part which is completely bonded to the thermal insulation layer of the shell, and the other part being a second part which is not bonded to the thermal insulation layer of the shell to form a first gap. At the same time, an air guide groove is opened on the inner wall of the thermal insulation layer of the shell, and the air guide groove is connected to the first gap.

[0023] First, the presence of the air guide groove enables the forces on the inner and outer sides of the artificial debonding layer to quickly reach a balance, reducing the interface stress between the grain and the artificial debonding layer, and effectively preventing interface debonding.

[0024] Secondly, the valve pintle of the solid attitude control engine causes the combustion chamber pressure to fluctuate continuously during its reciprocating motion. The gas guide groove can adapt to the pressure changes in real time, so that the pressure on both sides of the artificial debonding layer is balanced, thereby ensuring the integrity of the grain interface.

[0031] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an insulation structure suitable for pressure fluctuations of a solid attitude control engine, the insulation structure comprising a shell insulation layer 2 and an artificial debonding layer 3, the shell insulation layer 2 and the inner wall of the shell 1 are all bonded together to provide insulation protection for the shell 1; the artificial debonding layer 3 is filled with a charge 5, the artificial debonding layer 3 comprises a first part and a second part distributed along the axial direction of the shell 1, the first part and the second part are connected to each other as a whole, the first part is all bonded to the inner wall of the shell insulation layer 2, the second part forms a first gap 30 with the inner wall of the shell insulation layer 2, an air guide groove 20 is provided on the inner wall of the shell insulation layer 2, and the air guide groove 20 is connected to the first gap 30.

[0033] The thermal insulation structure provided by the present application has an artificial debonding layer 3 divided into two parts: a first part that is completely bonded to the shell thermal insulation layer 2, and a second part that is not bonded to the shell thermal insulation layer 2 to form a first gap 30. At the same time, an air guide groove 20 is provided on the inner wall of the shell thermal insulation layer 2, and the air guide groove 20 is connected to the first gap 30. The advantages are:

[0034] First, the presence of the air guide groove enables the forces on the inner and outer sides of the artificial debonding layer to quickly reach a balance, reducing the interface stress between the grain and the artificial debonding layer, and effectively preventing interface debonding.

[0035] Secondly, the valve pintle of the solid attitude control engine causes the combustion chamber pressure to fluctuate continuously during its reciprocating motion. The gas guide groove can adapt to the pressure changes in real time, so that the pressure on both sides of the artificial debonding layer is balanced, thereby ensuring the integrity of the grain interface.

[0036] There are many forms of the air guide groove 20. For example, a spiral type is adopted. For example, see Figure 3 As shown, the gas guide groove 20 extends axially along the shell 1. On the one hand, it can reduce the difficulty of processing. On the other hand, it is conducive to the entry of the gas into the interface between the artificial debonding layer 3 and the shell insulation layer 2, so that the forces on both sides of the artificial debonding layer can quickly reach balance.

[0037] The projection of the air guide groove 20 on the surface of the artificial debonding layer 3 is located on the second portion.

[0038] The cross section of the air guide groove 20 can have various forms, for example, Figure 4 The one shown is a rectangle with chamfered corners, or an arc.

[0039] There are multiple air guide grooves 20 , and they are evenly distributed along the circumference of the shell insulation layer 2 . For example, there are 12 air guide grooves 20 .

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the size of first gap 30 is 0 to 0.5 mm. When the gap is 0, the second portion contacts the inner wall of the shell insulation layer 2 without being adhered. The gap between the second portion and the shell insulation layer 2 is small, forming a stagnation zone. After the high-temperature gas is injected, the temperature does not rise too high, effectively protecting the shell wall.

[0041] See also Figure 2 As shown, a lining layer 4 is further provided on the inner wall of the artificial debonding layer 3 so that the drug column 5 and the artificial debonding layer 3 are firmly bonded.

[0042] See also Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the artificial debonding layer 3 has artificial debonding crack arrest points 31 , which are arranged circumferentially along the artificial debonding layer 3 and divide the artificial debonding layer 3 into a first part and a second part.

[0043] See also Figure 1 、 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application also provides a burner, which includes a shell 1, an insulating structure provided by any of the above embodiments, and a charge 5. One end of the shell 1 is an ignition cartridge mounting end 10, the insulating structure is bonded to the inner wall of the shell 1, and the second part is located between the first part and the ignition cartridge mounting end 10, and the charge 5 is filled in the insulating structure.

[0044] In summary, the thermal insulation structure provided in the present application improves the stress state of the end face of the grain under the transient pressure of the solid attitude control engine ignition startup, thereby alleviating the stress caused by the pressure shock and avoiding sudden deformation shock that may lead to damage to the engine structure.

[0045] The interface between the artificial debonding layer and the charge is in a bonding state, and the interface with the shell insulation layer is basically in a contact state (0-0.5mm gap). The air guide grooves are evenly opened axially in the shell insulation layer to ensure that the internal and external pressures of the artificial debonding layer are balanced when the combustion chamber pressure fluctuates, reducing the stress level of the interface and thus ensuring the integrity of the charge interface.

[0046] The combination of the above features solves the problem of grain interface debonding in solid attitude control engines when the combustion chamber pressure fluctuates, ensuring that the interface stress of the attitude control engine is at a low level during the entire working process, maintaining the integrity of the interface and increasing the safety of the system.
