Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of double-pulse solid engine design, and relates to a testing device and method for different opening time states of an axial+radial isolation type double-pulse solid engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The solid rocket engine has the advantages of simple structure, reliable operation, convenient use, good safety and low cost, but has the disadvantages of poor thrust controllability and lack of multiple starting capability, which affects the performance and development of the missile weapon system to some extent.

[0003] With the continuous emergence and development of new technologies, new materials and new processes, the missile weapon system has higher requirements for the solid rocket engine. In addition to the conventional requirements of high energy, high mass ratio and strong environmental adaptability, the engine is also required to have more flexible energy management capability. After years of efforts, major breakthroughs have been made in the core technologies of lightweight flexible soft partition, lightweight hard partition and multiple rapid response ignition. Therefore, the solid rocket multi-pulse engine has become an ideal energy management approach.

[0004] The multi-pulse solid rocket engine separates the propellant grain into several parts through an isolation device, and performs multiple shutdowns and startups. The missile can manage the engine energy output in real time according to the war requirements, and can reasonably adjust the thrust distribution and the interval time between pulses through the on-board program control, so that the missile can obtain flexible range adjustment, flight speed characteristics and multi-task capability, and can realize optimal control of the missile flight trajectory and optimal management of the engine energy, thereby comprehensively improving the comprehensive performance of various missile weapon systems.

[0005] The typical structure of the double-pulse solid rocket engine is: one pulse combustion chamber or propellant grain + one pulse ignition device + isolation device, two pulse combustion chambers or propellant grains + two pulse ignition devices + shared nozzle, wherein the isolation device can be axial, radial or axial+radial.

[0006] The working principle of the axial+radial partition type double-pulse solid rocket engine is as follows: after receiving the missile ignition instruction, the engine starts one pulse, and works for several seconds until the fuel is consumed and the engine is shut down, so that the missile is accelerated to the predetermined speed and enters the sustained flight. During the working period of the one pulse combustion chamber, the axial+radial partition must maintain structural integrity; after a certain interval, the two pulses are randomly controlled and started through the on-board program control, the combustion gas generated by the two pulse ignitions reversely opens the axial+radial partition, and the engine normally works for several seconds after the two pulse ignitions, and then the fuel is consumed again.

[0007] Through the working principle of axial + radial barrier type double pulse solid rocket engine, it can be found that whether the barrier can be normally opened according to the design established mode after receiving the double pulse ignition signal is directly related to whether the double pulse engine can normally work, especially in the first few seconds of the initial work of the double pulse combustion chamber. If the axial + radial barrier is not opened in the designed mode, too many fragments of the opened axial + radial barrier may cause the nozzle to be blocked, the pressure in the engine to be too high, and the engine to be blown up. Therefore, testing the state of the double pulse solid engine barrier at different times (especially in the initial ignition period) is of great significance to understanding the working mode of the barrier in the transient process of engine ignition.

[0008] At present, cold gas impact simulation test or numerical simulation is adopted in domestic and foreign documents to study the opening of the barrier, but these studies only aim at the ignition pressure of the engine and do not consider the situation after the double pulse combustion chamber is ignited, so they cannot fully represent the real situation of the double pulse combustion chamber in the first few seconds.

[0020] (4) After the test is completed, the nozzle is detached from the test device, whether the partition opens normally according to the established mode is judged according to the state of the partition after the test, and whether there are larger fragments of the partition is checked.
