[0005] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a turbojet engine, which while ensuring the atomization effect, reduces the influence of the fuel supply pipeline on the installation size of the engine, avoids damage to the fuel supply pipeline, and reduces the complexity of the fuel supply system.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a fuel supply system for a turbojet engine, including a fuel supply pipeline and a centrifugal nozzle assembly.

In this way, the flow path of the fuel flowing through the fuel supply pipeline is extended to fully exchange heat with the combustion chamber, and the heat in the combustion chamber is used to preheat the fuel, so that the fuel is preliminarily atomized in the fuel supply pipeline. Then the fuel enters the centrifugal nozzle assembly, and is secondarily atomized through centrifugal action, and finally sprayed into the combustion chamber.

[0008] It can be seen that the fuel supply system of the turbojet engine of the present invention combines the two methods of preheating atomization and centrifugal atomization, which not only improves the atomization effect, but also arranges the fuel supply pipeline inside the engine housing, which can reduce the influence of the fuel supply pipeline on the installation size of the engine and avoid damage to the fuel supply pipeline.

The outer end of the oil inlet hole communicates with the accommodating cavity, and the inner end of the oil inlet hole communicates with the hole part through an annular gap between the pressing part and the shell part.

[0016] Optionally, the oil inlet hole includes an annular concave cavity. At least one hole body extending radially and communicating with the annular gap is arranged on the bottom wall of the annular concave cavity. Sealing rings are respectively installed at the two axial ends of the annular concave cavity on the outer peripheral wall of the shell part;

[0017] And / or, the number of the hole parts is 2 - 4 and is evenly distributed circumferentially.

[0018] Optionally, the inside of the shell part includes a first diameter section, a second diameter section and a third diameter section which are axially communicated.

[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] The terms "first", "second", etc. described herein are only for the convenience of describing two or more structures or components with the same or similar structures and / or functions, and do not represent a certain special limitation on the order and / or importance.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a specific embodiment of the turbojet engine provided by the present invention; Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic structural diagram of the fuel supply system in

[0039] The present invention provides a fuel supply system for a turbojet engine, including a fuel supply pipeline 1 and a centrifugal nozzle assembly 21. The centrifugal nozzle assembly 21 is located at the end of the combustion chamber 4. The fuel supply pipeline 1 is arranged inside the engine housing 3, one end is communicated with the fuel tank, the other end is communicated with the centrifugal nozzle assembly 21, and the middle part of the fuel supply pipeline 1 is spiral and sleeved outside the peripheral wall of the combustion chamber 4.

[0040] The fuel supply system of the turbojet engine of the present invention improves the preheating method of fuel. First, the middle part of the fuel supply pipeline 1 is set to be spiral and sleeved outside the peripheral wall of the combustion chamber 4. In this way, the flow path of the fuel flowing through the fuel supply pipeline 1 is extended to fully exchange heat with the combustion chamber 4, and the heat in the combustion chamber 4 is used to preheat the fuel, so that the fuel is preliminarily atomized in the fuel supply pipeline 1. Then the fuel enters the inside of the centrifugal nozzle assembly 21 and is secondarily atomized under the action of centrifugal force, and finally sprayed into the combustion chamber 4.

[0041] It can be seen from this that the fuel supply system of the turbojet engine of the present invention combines the two methods of preheating atomization and centrifugal atomization, which not only improves the atomization effect, but also arranges the fuel supply pipeline 1 inside the engine housing 3, which can reduce the influence of the fuel supply pipeline 1 on the installation size of the engine, avoid damage to the fuel supply pipeline 1, and reduce the complexity of the fuel supply system.

[0042] In practical applications, the pitch of the spiral structure in the middle of the fuel supply pipeline 1 can be determined according to the diameter of the fuel supply pipeline 1 and the axial distance of the combustion chamber 4.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , Figure 3 is Figure 2 the internal sectional view of the mounting seat.

[0044] The fuel supply system of the turbojet engine of the present invention further includes a mounting seat 22, and the mounting seat 22 is fixed to one end of the engine housing 3. As Figure 1 can be seen, the mounting seat 22 is specifically located at one end of the opening of the combustion chamber 4. The other end of the engine housing 3 is communicated with the air inlet duct 5. Twelve receiving cavities 22a are arranged inside the mounting seat 22, and the twelve receiving cavities 22a are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the mounting seat 22. The centrifugal nozzle assembly 21 is hermetically installed on the mounting seat 22 and is communicated with the receiving cavities 22a one by one. An annular flow passage 22b communicating with each receiving cavity 22a is arranged inside the mounting seat 22. An oil inlet 22c is further arranged at the radially outer end of the annular flow passage 22b on the inner side of the mounting seat 22. The oil inlet 22c is communicated with the annular flow passage 22b through an oil inlet passage 22d. The corresponding end of the fuel supply pipeline 1 is inserted into the inside of the oil inlet 22c and is communicated with the oil inlet 22c.

[0045] In this way, the fuel preheated by the fuel supply pipeline 1 will sequentially enter the inside of the annular flow passage 22b through the oil inlet 22c and the oil inlet passage 22d, and then be distributed to each receiving cavity 22a through the annular flow passage 22b. The fuel enters the corresponding centrifugal nozzle assembly 21 from the receiving cavity 22a. The fuel is further centrifugally atomized inside the centrifugal nozzle assembly 21 and then axially sprayed inside the combustion chamber 4.

[0046] It should be noted that the "inner side of the mounting seat 22" mentioned here refers to the side of the mounting seat 22 facing the combustion chamber 4.

[0047] By providing the mounting seat 22, on the one hand, the present invention plays a role in fixing each centrifugal nozzle assembly 21. On the other hand, by providing the annular flow passage 22b to connect the circumferential centrifugal nozzle assemblies 21, the structure is not only simple, but also ensures that the fuel entering the combustion chamber 4 is more uniform. In practical applications, in order to ensure the fuel uniformity, the number of the receiving cavities 22a should be at least eight or more. In addition, the mounting seat 22 is fixed to one end of the engine housing 3, and the fuel is axially sprayed inside the combustion chamber 4, so that the contact area between the fuel and the air is the largest, and then the two are fully mixed to improve the combustion efficiency.

[0048] In practical applications, the position of the oil inlet 22c is not limited. For example, the oil inlet 22c can also be located on the circumference where the annular flow passage 22b is located, and the radially inner end of the oil inlet passage 22d can also be communicated with the annular flow passage 22b.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 4-5 , Figure 4 the Figure 2 axial sectional view of the centrifugal nozzle assembly in Figure 5 and Figure 4 the schematic diagram of the head in the centrifugal nozzle assembly.

[0050] The centrifugal nozzle assembly 21 of the present invention specifically includes a shell part 211, a head 212 and a pressing part 213. The shell part 211 is axially connected. Its interior includes a first diameter section, a second diameter section and a third diameter section that are axially connected. The diameters of the first diameter section, the second diameter section and the third diameter section increase in sequence. A first step surface is formed between the first diameter section and the second diameter section.

[0051] The outer periphery of the head 212 includes an axially connected first connection section and a second connection section. When the head 212 is installed in the shell part 211, the first connection section cooperates with the first diameter section, and part of the second connection section cooperates with the second diameter section. A second step surface is formed between the first connection section and the second connection section. The second step surface abuts against the first step surface, making the installation of the head 212 in the shell part 211 more stable. A conical inner cavity 212a is formed inside the head 212. The pointed end of the conical inner cavity 212a communicates with the fuel injection hole 212b. The peripheral wall of the head 212 is provided with a hole part 212c extending tangentially. The hole part 212c communicates with the conical inner cavity 212a.

[0052] The pressing part 213 includes an axially connected third connection section and a fourth connection section. The diameter of the fourth connection section is greater than that of the third connection section. The pressing part 213 is also installed in the shell part 211. The fourth connection section is hermetically connected to the shell part 211 by threads. The end of the third connection section presses the head 212 and blocks the large diameter end of the conical inner cavity 212a to prevent fuel from entering the inside of the conical inner cavity 212a from the large diameter end. An annular gap is formed between the third connection section and the third diameter section.

[0053] The peripheral wall of the shell part 211 is provided with an oil inlet hole 211a. The oil inlet hole 211a is located at the connection of the third connection section and the fourth connection section. It specifically includes an annular cavity and at least one hole body extending radially and communicating with the aforementioned annular gap. Sealing grooves are respectively arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the shell part 211 on both axial sides of the annular cavity. Sealing rings 214 are installed inside the sealing grooves. When the shell part 211 is installed on the mounting seat 22, the outer end of the oil inlet hole 211a communicates with the accommodating cavity 22a. The sealing rings 214 on both sides ensure the sealing performance when the shell part 211 is installed on the mounting seat 22, so that fuel can only enter the inside of the oil inlet hole 211a. The inner end of the oil inlet hole 211a communicates with the hole part 212c through the aforementioned annular gap.

[0054] In this way, fuel with a certain pressure enters the housing part 211 from the fuel inlet hole 211a, then flows along the annular gap between the third connecting section and the third diameter section, and enters the inside of the conical inner cavity 212a from the hole part 212c on the peripheral wall of the head part 212. Since the hole part 212c extends tangentially along the head part 212, the pressure energy of the fuel is converted into velocity energy, generating high-speed rotation inside the conical inner cavity 212a, while moving towards the fuel injection hole 212b, strongly rubbing against the inner wall of the conical inner cavity 212a to further atomize, and finally spraying out from the fuel injection hole 212b.

[0055] Thus, the fuel supply system of the turbojet engine of the present invention performs secondary atomization on the fuel through the centrifugal nozzle assembly 21, improving the atomization effect of the fuel, thereby improving the combustion efficiency, and the centrifugal nozzle assembly 21 has a simple structure and is convenient for installation.

[0056] Among them, the number of the hole parts 212c can be 2 - 4, and they are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction. One end of the pressing part 213 away from the head part 212 is also provided with a fastening notch 213a, which can specifically be an internal hexagonal notch, a cross notch, etc., for torque tightening.

[0057] In practical applications, in addition to the pressing part 213 being hermetically connected to the housing part 211 through threads, at least one sealing ring can also be provided on the peripheral wall of the pressing part 213, and the sealing installation of the pressing part 213 and the housing part 211 is achieved by extruding the sealing ring.

[0058] In addition, the internal shape of the housing part 211 is not limited to the above settings. For example, the inside of the housing part 211 can only include a first diameter section and a second diameter section that are axially connected. The diameter of the first diameter section is smaller than that of the second diameter section, and a first step surface is formed between the first diameter section and the second diameter section for abutting against the second step surface on the outer periphery of the head part 212. The second connecting section and the pressing part 213 of the head part 212 are both installed inside the second diameter section, and an annular gap is also formed between the second connecting section and the second diameter section.

[0059] The present invention also provides a turbojet engine, including the fuel supply system of the aforementioned turbojet engine.

[0060] The turbojet engine of the present invention includes the fuel supply system of the aforementioned turbojet engine, and thus has the same technical effects as the fuel supply system of the aforementioned turbojet engine, which will not be elaborated here.

[0061] It should be understood that the structures of existing turbojet engines all include an air inlet duct 5, a compressor, a combustion chamber 4, a turbine, and a tail pipe. These are the main components of the engine, and their specific structures and specific connection relationships will not be elaborated here.

[0062] The above has introduced in detail a fuel supply system and a turbojet engine provided by the present invention. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
