[0007] 2. The double oil path centrifugal nozzle adopts swirl centrifugal atomization technology, and domestic and foreign research shows that under the high back pressure working environment of the combustion chamber, the atomization cone angle is greatly reduced, and the spray quality and injection position cannot be guaranteed.
[0008] When the composite air atomization nozzle adopts air atomization structure, the radial distance between the main combustion stage and the pre-combustion stage is far, the heat protection problem of the main combustion stage needs to be realized by engineering, and due to the need to design the position of the air swirler, the head diameter is large, and the head of the flame tube needs to be greatly improved when designing and modifying.

[0034] The double oil path device is a cylindrical annular channel, the channel includes two fuel inlets and an external air ring gap. Fuel medium enters the inner ring channel of the nozzle head through the oil inlet of the nozzle shell, the center channel 10 fuel enters the centrifugal atomizer in the center, flows out through the center large hole of the direct injection nozzle end face, and the annular fuel area 20 is sprayed out through the cylindrical direct injection nozzle on the conical end face of the direct injection nozzle group; an air inlet gap is arranged at the axial front end of the direct injection nozzle group 1, external air enters the outer ring channel 30 of the direct injection nozzle group through the air inlet gap, a plurality of support rib plates are arranged inside the front section of the direct injection inner ring and outer ring, the cross section of the support rib plate is fan-shaped, the circumferential direction is connected with the end faces of the inner ring and the outer ring, and the length of the support rib plate is less than the length of the straight section of the inner cavity. The downstream of the support rib plate is provided with a plurality of cylindrical nozzles.
[0035] The main structural features of the direct injection nozzle group 1 are that the outer surface of the channel has an annular conical surface, the conical surface has a plurality of circular air outlet holes, the front end surface is a radial plane, and the end surface has a plurality of light blowing air holes 40; the inlet of the inner ring outer surface is a round corner contraction section, followed by a flat section, the flat section is connected with the inner surface of the outer ring through a support rib plate, the rear section of the inner ring is a contraction channel, a plurality of integrated cylindrical nozzles are arranged on the contraction channel, the cylindrical nozzles are perpendicular to the surface of the contraction channel, the cylindrical nozzles are coaxial with the air outlet holes of the outer ring and form an annular air gap 50, the cylindrical nozzles should be higher than the outer annular conical surface by 0.3-0.8 mm.

[0040] The double-oil-path composite nozzle described in the present application is mainly used for the injection device of the high-swirl atomizing device of the main combustion chamber of an aero-engine.

[0041] The main flow inside the nozzle is divided into four parts, including the center injection area, the head light blowing area, the outer ring injection area and the outer ring coaxial air area. The center injection area mainly works at low fuel supply pressure to ensure the oil mist distribution in the center of the combustion chamber. The centrifugal atomizer is used in the center oil way, and the fuel is distributed in a hollow cone in the center area. The head light blowing area has a small air area and is distributed in the circumferential direction. The light blowing air is mainly used to blow off the carbon deposit in the high temperature environment of the combustion chamber. The outer ring area is distributed in a straight injection ring. The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber after being pressurized. Since the center concentration of the straight injection nozzle is high and the fuel momentum is large, the fuel can reach the design injection point in the combustion area, ensuring the atomization effect and fuel concentration distribution. The outer ring air area is coaxial with the straight injection rod body. The air flows out from the interlayer of the support rib plate through the axial slot on the nozzle head. The outer ring air mainly cools the outer ring oil hole during work, blows off the deposited fuel at the straight injection port position, and prevents the nozzle surface from carbon depositing.
