The temperature before the turbine of an aircraft engine can continue to increase over time. Generally speaking, the temperature before the inlet of the first-stage turbine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 10 is about 1950K, and the temperature before the inlet of the first-stage turbine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12-15 is above 2100K.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, combined Figure 5 When the staff connects or removes the pipeline, the spiral block 74 on the pipeline can be threadedly matched with the spiral groove 73 on the second sleeve 7, thereby driving the second sleeve 7 to rotate, and the rotation of the second sleeve 7 drives the first gear 76 to rotate, the rotation of the first gear 76 drives the second gear 77 to rotate, and the rotation of the second gear 77 drives the connecting rod 71 to rotate, and the connecting rod 71 can drive the guide rod 72 to rotate through the guide block 80, and the rotation of the guide rod 72 drives the fourth gear 84 to rotate, and the rotation of the fourth gear 84 drives the third gear 83 to rotate, and the rotation of the third gear 83 drives the second bolt 51 and the driving plate 5 to rotate. At the same time, when the driving plate 5 moves toward or away from the connecting block 3, the guide block 80 can be slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 79, thereby reducing the difficulty of the staff driving the second bolt 51 and the driving plate 5 to rotate.
[0057] like Figure 2As shown, two second storage slots 9 are provided in the connecting block 3, and the two second storage slots 9 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the connecting block 3. A driving rod 91, a driving block 92 and a limit block 93 are arranged in the second storage slot 9; the driving rod 91, the driving block 92 and the limit block 93 are all in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped; the driving block 92 and the limit block 93 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower end side walls of the driving rod 91, and the driving block 92, the limit block 93 and the driving rod 91 are integrally formed; the driving block 92, the limit block 93 and the driving rod 91 can all slide in the second storage slot 9 in the direction of approaching or moving away from the inner tube 14; the driving block 92 is penetrated through the inner wall of the second storage slot 9 and extends into the through hole 32, and a slope 94 is provided on the driving block 92, and the driving block 92 can abut and cooperate with the side wall of the inner tube 14.
[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the limit block 93 is penetrated through the inner wall of the second storage groove 9 and extends into the through hole 32. Two limit grooves 95 for the limit block 93 to be inserted are provided on the side wall of the second bolt 51. The two limit grooves 95 are arranged corresponding to the two limit blocks 93. A second spring 96 is arranged in the second storage groove 9. The second spring 96 is arranged along the radial direction of the connecting block 3. One end of the second spring 96 is fixedly connected to the driving rod 91, and the other end of the second spring 96 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second storage groove 9 away from the inner tube 14.
[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, before the staff inserts the pipe into the through hole 32, the limit block 93 is inserted into the limit groove 95, and the driving block 92 is located in the through hole 32. Later, when the pipe is inserted into the through hole 32, the side wall of the pipe can push the driving block 92 to move away from the pipe through the inclined surface 94 on the driving block 92. The movement of the driving block 92 can drive the driving rod 91 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 96 to move. The movement of the driving rod 91 drives the limit block 93 to move. Then, when the limit block 93 moves to a position away from the second bolt 51 After the position is reached, the limiting block 93 can release the limiting effect on the second bolt 51, and then the staff can drive the second bolt 51 and the driving plate 5 to rotate; when the staff removes the pipeline, the elastic force of the second spring 96 can push the driving rod 91 and the limiting block 93 to move toward the direction close to the pipeline. When the limiting block 93 is moved and inserted into the limiting groove 95 on the second bolt 51, the second bolt 51 can be limited, thereby reducing the possibility of the second bolt 51 loosening due to vibration.
[0060] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is: the staff first installs the inner tube liquid inlet box 1, the inner tube liquid outlet box 11, the outer tube liquid inlet box 12 and the outer tube liquid outlet box 13 inside the aircraft engine, and then the staff connects the two ends of the inner tube 14 to the inner tube liquid inlet box 1 and the inner tube liquid outlet box 11 respectively through the first connecting mechanism 16 and the second connecting mechanism 17, and connects the connecting pipes 18 on the two ends of the outer tube 15 to the outer tube liquid inlet box 12 and the outer tube liquid outlet box 13 respectively through the third connecting mechanism 19 and the fourth connecting mechanism 20. The staff can adjust the number of inner tubes 14 and outer tubes 15 according to the size of the internal space of the aircraft engine.
[0061] When the aircraft engine is operating normally, the low-temperature aviation kerosene from the fuel tank will flow into the inner tube inlet tank 1, and flow into the inner tube outlet tank 11 through the inner tube 14, and finally be transported to the combustion chamber, and the combustion efficiency and calorific value of the heated aviation kerosene can be improved; at the same time, the liquid metal carrying heat will flow into the outer tube inlet tank 12, and flow into the outer tube outlet tank 13 through the outer tube 15, and then can flow out from the outer tube outlet tank 13 and flow into the turbine blades; the liquid metal of the outer tube 15 can utilize its own strong heat exchange capacity to, on the one hand, be able to exchange heat with the low-temperature aviation kerosene of the inner tube 14 On the one hand, the warm kerosene undergoes convection heat exchange, and on the other hand, it can undergo convection heat exchange with the outer duct air flowing through the heat exchanger, thereby realizing double heat exchange and further achieving efficient cooling. The cooled liquid metal can cool the turbine blades, and finally the reheated liquid metal can flow into the outer tube liquid inlet tank 12 through the blade cooling circulation system and circulate. Among them, the liquid metal can be gallium and its alloy; thereby, the cooling effect of the high-temperature hot end components with continuously increasing temperature can be improved, thereby improving the safety and service life of the turbine blades.
[0062] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
