Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aerospace liquid oxygen-kerosene engines, and relates to a high-pressure gas valve used in a blow-off system of a cryogenic liquid rocket engine, in particular to a one-way valve assembly and a forced blow-off one-way valve. Background Art

[0002] Liquid rocket engines typically consist of a propellant supply system, starting and ignition system, purge system, pressurization system, vacuum system, precooling system, and regulation system. High-pressure, staged-fired liquid oxygen-kerosene engines utilize an oxygen-enriched gas generator cycle, effectively addressing the carbon deposition and combustion instability issues inherent in the gas generator cycle. Therefore, their purge systems require various valve structures to purge the engine's internal cavity. Their primary functions include: 1) preventing water vapor from entering the engine's internal cavity during precooling, which can cause ice formation and valve or turbopump shaft jamming, nozzle blockage, and other faults; 2) preventing crosstalk between liquid oxygen and kerosene in the turbopump; 3) reducing the engine's shutdown aftereffect; and 4) facilitating post-test processing of the engine.

[0003] A check valve is a crucial component in the purge system of a liquid rocket engine. Its function during system purges is to prevent downstream high-pressure media from entering the system, potentially impacting the proper functioning of the system and downstream components, and potentially causing loss of functionality of the system or engine. It also fulfills the other on-off requirements of the purge system. Because the purge system requires purges at multiple locations, including the thrust chamber, generator, and turbopump, the purge pressures vary, and each purge path requires a separate check valve.

[0004] In the above-mentioned purge one-way valve of the liquid oxygen-kerosene engine, there is an enhanced purge one-way valve in the purge pipeline of the generator kerosene chamber. The valve is connected to both the purge nitrogen bottle and the purge helium bottle. When the engine is started, nitrogen is used for purge and helium is turned off; when the pressure of the purge outlet cavity is greater than the purge nitrogen inlet pressure, the purge is stopped; when the engine is shut down, after the pressure of the purge outlet cavity drops to a certain value, nitrogen and helium are used to purge the generator kerosene chamber at the same time; therefore, the valve can realize that only nitrogen is used for purge when the engine is started, and the remaining gas in the helium bottle is used to forcibly purge the generator kerosene chamber when the engine is shut down. In the purge system of the prior art, when the rocket reaches the predetermined orbit and the engine is shut down, the remaining gas in the gas cylinder is often seriously surplus. The excess gas stored in the gas cylinder is equivalent to the loss of part of the rocket's payload, thus making full use of the gas carried by the engine.

[0005] The valve not only has to meet the technical difficulties of the above-mentioned functional requirements, but also has to meet technical difficulties such as high-pressure redundant sealing requirements. Once the seal fails, it will greatly affect the normal operation of the engine. Summary of the Invention

By adjusting the thickness of the valve cover metal sealing gasket, an additional adjustment method is provided for the opening pressure and working stroke of the fourth one-way valve.

[0037] The most difficult part in the production process of the forced-blowing one-way valve in a liquid rocket engine is the precision machining of the inner hole of the valve body. The inner hole of the valve body motion friction pair in the present invention is a single-size precision-machined hole without steps, and the size of the mounting hole of the third one-way valve assembly above the valve body is also the same as the size of the hole. This can simplify the processing technology, reduce the variety and quantity of tooling and measuring tools for processing and measurement, and reduce the production and processing costs of the product.

[0038] The present invention provides a filter screen on the dustproof and waterproof device at the rear end of the valve cover to prevent water vapor or dust in the air from entering the moving surface of the valve core during the reciprocating motion of the valve core, thereby causing the valve to become stuck, thereby improving the reliability of the present invention.

[0063] The one-way valve spring 3 is a cylindrical compression spring.

[0064] In actual use, multiple one-way valve bodies 1 of the same type can be assembled to form a new valve body according to different needs, for example:

[0065] Connect two one-way valve assemblies in series or in parallel to form a new valve body assembly, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0066] Connect three one-way valve assemblies in series to form a new valve body assembly, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0067] First, connect two one-way valve assemblies in series and then connect them in parallel with one one-way valve assembly to form a new valve body assembly, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0068] First, connect two one-way valve assemblies in series, and then connect a one-way valve assembly to the radial flow hole on one of the two one-way valve assemblies in series, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown.

[0069] Two one-way valve assemblies of the same type are connected in series to form a new valve body assembly, and two other one-way valve assemblies of the same type are connected in series to form a new valve body assembly, and then the two new valve body assemblies are connected in parallel. Figure 8 As shown, or connect the flow hole on a one-way valve assembly on a new valve body assembly to another new valve body assembly, as shown Figure 9 shown.

[0070] First connect two one-way valve assemblies in series, and then connect two one-way valve assemblies in parallel. Figure 10 As shown, or first connect two one-way valve assemblies of the same type in series, and then connect two one-way valve assemblies of the same type in parallel, as shown Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 shown.

[0071] A forced-blow-off one-way valve comprises a valve body, wherein a one-way valve assembly is arranged in the valve body, wherein three one-way valve assemblies are provided, namely a first one-way valve assembly 6, a second one-way valve assembly 7 and a third one-way valve assembly 8;

[0072] The valve body is provided with a stepped central through hole 10, the external thread on the inlet end of the first one-way valve assembly 6 is matched and connected with the internal thread on the outlet end of the second one-way valve assembly 7, and the first one-way valve assembly 6 and the second one-way valve assembly 7 are both sealedly connected to the central through hole 10;

[0073] The end of the second one-way valve assembly 7 away from the first one-way valve assembly 6 is further connected to a fourth one-way valve core 9 assembly. A central blind hole 11 communicating with the inlet end of the second one-way valve assembly 7 is provided at the center of the fourth one-way valve core 9 assembly. A connecting hole communicating with the central blind hole 11 is provided on the circumference of the fourth one-way valve core 9.

[0074] One end of the fourth one-way valve core 9 away from the second one-way valve assembly 7 is sealed with a valve cover 12, and the valve cover 12 is arranged to block the end of the central through hole 10 and is sealed with the valve body;

[0075] The fourth one-way valve core 9 is connected to the valve cover 12 via a fourth one-way valve core spring 13. The fourth one-way valve core spring 13 is sleeved on one end of the fourth one-way valve core 9, and one end of the fourth one-way valve core spring 13 is fixedly connected to the valve cover 12, and the other end thereof abuts against the step on the fourth one-way valve core 9.

[0076] A first air inlet connector 14 is provided on the valve body at a position corresponding to the fourth one-way valve core 9. When the first one-way valve assembly 6 and the second one-way valve assembly 7 push the fourth one-way valve core 9 to reciprocate, the communicating hole connects the first air inlet connector 14 and the central blind hole 11 or blocks the first air inlet connector 14 and the central blind hole 11.

[0077] A second air inlet connector 15 is provided on the valve body at a position corresponding to the second one-way valve assembly 7. A radial flow hole is provided on the one-way valve body 1 of the second one-way valve assembly 7. The radial flow hole is provided on the one-way valve body 1 between the valve core guide seat 2 and the sealing connection between the valve core head 4 and the stepped through hole.

[0078] The second air inlet connector 15 is connected to the radial flow hole through the third one-way valve assembly 8 .

[0079] In one embodiment, a dustproof and waterproof device is provided on the side of the valve cover 12 away from the second one-way valve assembly 7, and the end of the fourth one-way valve core 9 away from the second one-way valve assembly 7 is sealed with the valve cover 12 through a radial non-metallic dynamic sealing ring 17, and extends into the dustproof and waterproof device after passing through the valve cover 12.

[0080] The dustproof and waterproof device includes a screw plug, which is fixed and sealed to the valve cover 12 through a sealing ring column. The screw plug is threadedly connected to the sealing ring column. An air flow hole is provided at the center of the screw plug, and a filter 16 is provided on the air flow hole to prevent water vapor or dust in the air from entering.

[0081] In another embodiment, the first one-way valve assembly 6, the second one-way valve assembly 7 and the fourth one-way valve core 9 are respectively connected to the valve body through a radial non-metallic dynamic sealing ring 17;

[0082] The third one-way valve assembly 8 and the second one-way valve assembly 7 are respectively sealed and connected to the valve body through static sealing rings 18.

[0083] Metal sealing gaskets 19 are provided between the valve body and the valve cover 12 , and between the second air inlet connector 15 and the third one-way valve assembly 8 .

[0084] When using, such as Figure 13As shown, the second air inlet connector 15 of the valve body is connected to the purge nitrogen bottle, and the first air inlet connector 14 of the valve body is connected to the purge helium bottle. When the engine is started, the fourth one-way valve core 9 moves leftward under the action of the helium pressure and the fourth one-way valve spring 3, and the connecting hole is closed, thereby closing the helium purge and using nitrogen purge. Nitrogen enters the stepped through hole of the third one-way valve assembly 8 from the inlet end of the third one-way valve assembly 8, and then enters the outlet end of the second one-way valve assembly 7, that is, the inlet end of the first one-way valve assembly 6, from the outlet end of the third one-way valve assembly 8 through the radial flow hole on the second one-way valve assembly 7, and then flows out from the outlet end of the first one-way valve assembly 6 to purge the generator kerosene chamber. As the purge process proceeds, the pressure in the purge chamber gradually increases. When it increases to a certain pressure, the nitrogen purge is completed. When the purge outlet pressure is greater than the purge nitrogen inlet pressure, the nitrogen purge is stopped. At this time, the first one-way valve assembly 6, the second one-way valve assembly 7, and the third one-way valve assembly 8 are closed under the action of the pressure difference. Because the pressure at the left end of the plunger assembly composed of the one-way valve assembly 6 and the second one-way valve assembly 7 is greater than the combined force of the helium pressure at the right end of the fourth one-way valve core 9 and the fourth one-way valve core spring 13, the plunger assembly drives the fourth one-way valve core 9 to move right, and the connecting hole is opened; when the engine is shut down, after the blow-off outlet pressure drops to a certain value, nitrogen and helium are simultaneously blown out of the generator kerosene chamber; therefore, a forced blow-off one-way valve of the present invention can achieve blow-off with only nitrogen when the engine is started, and use the remaining gas in the helium cylinder to forcibly blow out the generator kerosene chamber when the engine is shut down. In the blow-off system of the prior art, when the rocket reaches the predetermined orbit and the engine is shut down, the remaining gas in the cylinder is often seriously surplus. The excess gas stored in the cylinder is equivalent to the loss of part of the rocket's payload. In this way, the gas carried by the engine is fully utilized. At the same time, after the engine is shut down, the inert gas helium is finally used to blow out the kerosene chamber of the liquid oxygen-kerosene engine generator, which can solve part of the current problem of engine kerosene coking.
