Based on this, this application provides a component for increasing the thrust after the turbine of an aero-turbine engine. The following will Figures 1 to 4 make a further detailed description of this application.

[0041] An after-turbine thrust increasing component for an aero-turbine engine, comprising:

[0042] An outer casing 1;

[0043] A confluence ring 2, disposed within the outer casing 1, forming an outer flow path between it and the outer casing 1;

[0044] An inner cone 3, disposed within the confluence ring 2, forming an inner flow path between it and the confluence ring 2;

[0045] A plurality of struts 4, circumferentially supported between the outer casing 1 and the confluence ring 2;

[0046] A heat shield 5, one end of which is sealed and the other end is open. The open end is connected to the inner side of the outer casing 1, penetrates through the side wall of the confluence ring 2, has an air scoop opening at the leading edge side wall, has air outlet holes on both side walls, and is formed with a pair of positioning blocks; the air scoop opening is located in the outer flow path; the two air outlet holes are located in the inner flow path; the two pairs of positioning blocks have guide grooves;

[0047] An oil inlet pipe 6, the outlet end of which extends into the heat shield 5 and penetrates through the outer casing 1;

[0048] Two fuel injectors 7, connected to the oil inlet pipe 6; each fuel injector 7 correspondingly extends out from one of the air outlet holes and has a large clearance fit with the corresponding air outlet hole;

[0049] Two flow regulating vanes 8, the two side edges of each flow regulating vane 8 are correspondingly clamped into a pair of guide grooves, and are attached to the side wall of the corresponding side of the heat shield 5, and can slide to block and adjust the effective flow area of the air outlet holes on the corresponding side of the heat shield 5.

[0050] For the after-turbine thrust increasing component for an aero-turbine engine disclosed in the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can understand that the component composed of the heat shield 5, the oil inlet pipe 6, the fuel injectors 7, and the flow regulating vanes 8 replaces the existing fuel injection rod 12. Multiple groups of the heat shield 5, the oil inlet pipe 6, the fuel injectors 7, and the flow regulating vanes 8 can be designed and distributed circumferentially along the thrust increasing component. When the aero-turbine engine is operating, fuel can be introduced through the inlet end of the oil inlet pipe 6, and then sprayed into the inner flow path through the fuel injectors 7, mixed with the inner flow path air in the inner flow path, and ignited and organized for combustion in cooperation with a stabilizer.

[0051] For the after-turbine thrust increasing component for an aero-turbine engine disclosed in the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can also understand that when the aero-turbine engine is operating, the outer flow path air can be efficiently introduced through the air scoop opening on the leading edge side wall of the heat shield 5, and the outer flow path air is used to effectively cool components such as the heat shield 5, the oil inlet pipe 6, and the fuel injectors 7, preventing the components from suffering high-temperature damage.

The flow rate adjustment piece 8 can be easily pushed to slide through the outward flanging, and in a shielding manner, the effective flow area of the air outlet holes can be adjusted. The air outlet holes can be designed to be strip-shaped and extend along the axial direction of the heat shield 5. The fuel injector 7 is located at the lower end, and the flow rate adjustment piece 8 is located at the upper end of the air outlet holes. A notch with a shape adapted to the outer shape of the fuel injector 7 is provided on the edge facing the air outlet holes. When the flow rate adjustment piece 8 slides down completely, it can be stuck on the fuel injector 7 to completely block the air outlet holes.

[0058] In some alternative embodiments, in the component for increasing the thrust after the turbine of the above-described aero-turbine engine, it further includes:

[0059] Two fixed clamping blocks 9, which are welded inside the heat shield 5 and clamp the fuel inlet pipe 6.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments, in the component for increasing the thrust after the turbine of the above-described aero-turbine engine, the two flow rate adjustment pieces 8 have strip-shaped holes;

[0061] The component for increasing the thrust after the turbine of the aero-turbine engine further includes:

[0062] The bracket 10 is welded inside the heat shield 5 and is embedded with nuts.

[0063] Two screws 11, each screw 11 is correspondingly arranged through a strip hole and the corresponding side wall of the heat shield 5, and is screwed into the nut to fasten the corresponding flow regulating piece 8. When loosened, the corresponding flow regulating piece 8 can slide.

[0064] In the description of the embodiments in the specification, a progressive manner is adopted. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. For the same or similar parts among the embodiments, reference can be made to each other.
