[0035] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings Figures 1 to 4 The application will be further described in detail.

[0036] An aero-engine infrared radiation signal control S-bend nozzle, as shown in the figure, comprising: Figure 2

[0037] The circular-to-square segment 1 is connected to the low-pressure turbine at the inlet end.

[0038] The S-bend left side wall 2 is connected to the left side of the outlet end of the circular-to-square segment 1.

[0041] ​S-bend upper side wall 5, front end connected to the upper side of the outlet end of the round-to-square section 1, and spliced with the S-bend left side wall 2, the S-bend right side wall 3, and the S-bend lower side wall 4, and has a plurality of impact cooling holes on the rearward visible part, and the outer wall has an annular support edge surrounding the rearward visible part;

[0042] Cover plate 6 connected to the annular support edge, and having a low-temperature medium inlet hole thereon;

[0043] Flow distribution plate 7 arranged in the annular support edge and connected to the cover plate 6, forming a flow distribution cavity therebetween, and having a plurality of flow distribution holes thereon, and forming an impact cooling cavity between the S-bend upper side wall 5;

[0044] Thermal shield 8 connected to the inner side of the S-bend upper side wall 5, covering the rearward visible part, and forming a thermal insulation cavity therebetween, and having a plurality of air film holes thereon.

[0045] The above embodiment discloses an aero-engine infrared radiation signal control S-bend nozzle. When the aero-engine is working, low-temperature medium can be introduced into the flow distribution cavity through the low-temperature medium inlet hole, and the low-temperature medium is uniformly distributed in the flow distribution cavity and uniformly flows into the impact cooling cavity through the flow distribution holes, uniformly impact-cooling the rearward visible part of the S-bend upper side wall 5, and then flows into the thermal insulation cavity through the impact cooling holes and flows out through the air film holes, and is mixed into the aero-engine exhaust, as shown in Figure 3 , so that the rearward visible part of the S-bend nozzle maintains a lower temperature, thereby reducing the infrared radiation signal intensity of the rearward visible part of the S-bend nozzle and improving the infrared stealth performance of the aero-engine. Moreover, by controlling the flow of low-temperature medium, the temperature of the rearward visible part of the S-bend nozzle and its infrared radiation signal intensity can be controlled, so that the aero-engine can maintain stable infrared stealth performance. In addition, by controlling a large amount of low-temperature medium to be introduced in a short time, the temperature of the rearward visible part of the S-bend nozzle can be rapidly reduced in a short time, so that the infrared radiation signal intensity of the aero-engine can be rapidly suppressed in a short time, meeting the demand for rapidly enhancing the infrared stealth performance of the aero-engine in some situations in a short time.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, the aero-engine infrared radiation signal control S-bend nozzle described above has an outward annular folded edge on the annular support edge;

[0047] The edge part of the cover plate 6 is connected to the outward annular folded edge by bolts.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the aero-engine infrared radiation signal control S-bend nozzle described above has a plurality of supports designed between the cover plate 6 and the flow distribution plate 7, and connected by bolts.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft engine infrared radiation signal control S-bend nozzle, the inner rearward visible part of the upper sidewall 5 of the S-bend is locally recessed to form a groove.

[0050] The edge of the heat insulation screen 8 is bent to form a bent edge, which is inserted into the groove and supported on the inner side of the upper side wall 5 of the S-bend. This stable heat insulation cavity is constructed, and the heat insulation screen 8 is flush with the inner side of the upper side wall 5 of the S-bend, with a smooth transition to ensure aerodynamic performance.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aircraft engine infrared radiation signal control S-bend nozzle, the upper sidewall 5 of the S-bend and the heat shield 8 are fastened together by bolts.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, the aforementioned aircraft engine infrared radiation signal controlled S-curve nozzle further includes:

[0053] The flared mouth 9 is connected to the cover plate 6 and communicates with the cryogenic medium inlet. It is connected to the cryogenic medium source through a pipeline. The cryogenic medium source is cryogenic air or liquid nitrogen, which has a low temperature. The cryogenic medium can flow into the flared mouth 9 through the pipeline, where it is diffused and its speed reduced to make the flow smooth. Then it flows into the diversion chamber through the cryogenic medium inlet. The flow rate of the cryogenic medium can be controlled by setting appropriate valves on the pipeline and connecting to the aero-engine control system.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, in the aforementioned aircraft engine infrared radiation signal controlled S-curve nozzle, to ensure temperature control of the rearward visible portion of the upper sidewall 5 of the S-curve, the cover plate 6, the diffuser 7, the heat shield 8, and their corresponding structures can be designed to cover an area slightly larger than the rearward visible portion of the upper sidewall 5 of the S-curve. Figure 4 As shown.

[0055] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
