[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the implementation of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application.

[0028] A large-sized ramjet combustion chamber with a diameter of about 900mm to 1000mm is arranged in a ramjet engine. The front and rear ends of the ramjet combustion chamber are connected to the air inlet and the nozzle by bolts. The ramjet engine is provided with an inner cooling channel and a high-temperature inner channel. The outer cooling channel is used to circulate the outer cooling air, and the high-temperature inner channel is used to circulate the high-temperature and high-pressure gas.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an outer wall 1 and an organized combustion system, which is arranged on the inner side of the outer wall 1. The organized combustion system includes a precombustion chamber 6, a spray rod 13 and a stabilizer. The precombustion chamber 6 is a built-in precombustion chamber 6, a swirl nozzle is arranged at the head of the precombustion chamber 6, the spray rod 13 is arranged at the front end of the precombustion chamber 6, and the stabilizer is located at the rear end of the spray rod 13. The precombustion chamber 6 is a non-integral ring structure and the precombustion chamber 6 is arranged on one side of the high-temperature internal channel of the engine. An ignition nozzle 9 inserted into the precombustion chamber 6 is arranged between the middle of the precombustion chamber 6 and the outer wall 1, a support plate 7 is arranged between the head of the precombustion chamber 6 and the outer wall 1, and an air bleed pipe 8 and a wire of the ignition nozzle 9 are arranged in the support plate 7. One end of the air bleed pipe 8 is connected to the high-temperature and high-pressure gas induced from the fan stage, and the other end is connected to the inside of the precombustion chamber 6.

[0030] It should be noted that in the present application, the direction of the airflow is the front end of the ramjet engine, and the direction of the airflow is the rear end of the ramjet engine.

[0031] The present application adopts the pre-combustion chamber 6 for ramjet ignition. When the turbine engine is in a high Mach number state, the compression component is in a state of "gasping at the front and blocked at the back", and the insufficient flow capacity of the fan component will affect the engine thrust performance.

[0032] The high-temperature and high-pressure gas introduced from the fan interstage by the air duct 8 and the fuel form two flows of oil and gas through the oil-gas mixing conduit and enter the head of the pre-combustion chamber 6, and the oil-gas mixture is sprayed into the pre-combustion chamber 6 through the swirl nozzle, and ignited by the ignition nozzle 9 to generate a stable flame. Then, the flame is sprayed out through the flame nozzle 12 in the recirculation zone formed by the stabilizer, igniting the oil-gas mixture behind the annular stabilizer, realizing reliable ignition of the ramjet combustion chamber and full-state combustion of the ramjet combustion chamber, increasing the gas temperature and exhaust speed, and thus improving the thrust of the engine.

[0033] The problem of blockage in the last stage of the fan can be solved by introducing air between the fan stages, and the flow capacity of the fan at low speed can be improved. The air flow velocity is lower and the ignition success rate is higher, thereby effectively improving the success rate of engine mode conversion. Due to the reduction in air flow velocity, the "gasping at the front and blocked at the back" state of the compression components of the turbine engine can also be solved.

[0034] Combination Figure 4 Preferably, the stabilizer comprises an inner radial stabilizer 5, an outer radial stabilizer 14, an inner ring annular stabilizer 4 and an outer ring annular stabilizer 3, and different stabilizer positions form different reflow zones. A flame nozzle 12 is provided at the end of the pre-combustion chamber 6, and the outlet direction of the flame nozzle 12 faces the inner ring annular stabilizer 4. An opening is provided on the outer radial stabilizer 14, and the flame nozzle 12 is provided at the opening; the outer ring annular stabilizer 3 is connected to the outer side of the outer radial stabilizer 14, and the outer radial stabilizer 14 is provided on the outer side of the inner ring annular stabilizer 4, and the inner ring annular stabilizer 4 is provided on the outer side of the inner radial stabilizer 5; the cross sections of the inner ring annular stabilizer 4 and the outer ring annular stabilizer 3 are both triangular structures, and the ends of the inner ring annular stabilizer 4 and the outer ring annular stabilizer 3 are arranged along the radial direction of the engine, and the inner radial stabilizer 5 and the outer radial stabilizer 14 are both inclined.

[0035] After the pre-combustion chamber 6 is ignited, the injection rod 13 sprays fuel into the rear recirculation area of ​​the inner ring annular stabilizer 4 through the flame nozzle 12. Since the end of the inner ring annular stabilizer 4 is arranged along the radial direction of the engine, efficient ignition can be achieved, and then the flame is transmitted to the inner radial stabilizer 5 and the outer radial stabilizer 14 through the inner ring annular stabilizer 4 and combustion is organized. Since the inner radial stabilizer 5 and the outer radial stabilizer 14 are both inclined, they have efficient flame transmission performance, and finally transmitted to the outer ring annular stabilizer 3 through the outer radial stabilizer 14. Since the end of the outer ring annular stabilizer 3 is arranged along the radial direction of the engine, efficient combustion can be guaranteed. Through the mutual cooperation of the inner radial stabilizer 5, the outer radial stabilizer 14, the inner ring annular stabilizer 4 and the outer ring annular stabilizer 3, efficient flame transmission and stable combustion can be achieved.

[0036] Preferably, there are multiple groups of inner radial stabilizers 5 and outer radial stabilizers 14, which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the aircraft engine. Specifically, there are 6-8 inner radial stabilizers 5 and outer radial stabilizers 14, and the specific number can be determined according to the requirements of the ramjet combustion chamber blockage ratio. A tie rod 10 is connected between the outer ring stabilizer 3 and the outer wall 1. Figure 5 As shown, the outer ring stabilizer 3 is fixed to the outer wall 1 by tie rods 10, and the number of tie rods 10 is determined by the weight and load-bearing conditions of the stabilizer.

[0037] Preferably, the head and tail cross-sections of the pre-combustion chamber 6 are both triangular, and the tip of the head of the pre-combustion chamber 6 faces the front end of the engine, and the tip of the tail of the pre-combustion chamber 6 faces the rear end of the engine. This design ensures that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the high-temperature internal channel encounters less resistance when passing through the pre-combustion chamber 6, thereby realizing a low flow resistance design of the ramjet combustion chamber and ensuring efficient flow of the internal gas.

[0038] Preferably, the pre-combustion chamber 6 is of integrated design and is formed by 3D printing to reduce weight and simplify structure.

[0039] Preferably, a cooling air duct 11 is also provided in the support plate 7, one end of the cooling air duct 11 is connected to the outer cooling channel of the ramjet engine, and the other end is connected to the inside of the precombustion chamber 6. The cold air introduced by the cooling air duct 11 is used to cool the outer wall 1 of the precombustion chamber 6, ensuring that the precombustion chamber 6 is always in a relatively stable working state.

[0040] Preferably, a pressure diffuser and deceleration section is provided on the outer wall 1, and the pressure diffuser and deceleration section is connected to the cooling air duct 11 and the air duct 8. The pressure diffuser and deceleration section adopts an isopressure gradient shape, and the equivalent expansion angle of the pressure diffuser and deceleration section is 12 to 18 degrees, so as to realize the rectification and pressure diffusion of the outer wall 1, avoid the airflow diversion caused by the rapid pressure diffusion and speed reduction, reduce the airflow pressure diffusion loss, and realize the low flow resistance design of the ramjet combustion chamber.

[0041] Preferably, an anti-vibration heat insulation screen 2 is provided on the inner side of the outer wall 1, and the anti-vibration heat insulation screen 2 is provided at the rear end of the stabilizer. A cooling hole is provided on the anti-vibration heat insulation screen 2. The cooling system consists of two parts: a main channel A and a cooling channel B. Figure 6 As shown, the main channel A and channel B are separated by the anti-vibration heat insulation screen 2. The cooling air in the cooling channel B cools the outer wall 11, and the cavity of the main channel A and the cooling holes of the anti-vibration heat insulation screen 22 form a Helmholtz resonator, which plays a role in suppressing oscillating combustion.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, preferably, the number of the support plate 7 is one, and the support plate 7 is a streamlined structure to reduce the resistance to the high-temperature contained gas and improve the contained air flow efficiency.

[0043] Preferably, the ramjet engine of the present application is placed in parallel with the turbine engine, and air is introduced from the turbine engine outer fan to the pre-combustion chamber 6 through the bleed pipe 88 to participate in the ignition and combustion of the pre-combustion chamber 6. Figure 8 , 9 As shown, efficient air bleed is achieved.

[0044] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
