The angle between the tapered section of the first stage hub 4a and the central axis 10 is β, and the angle between the tapered section of the second stage hub 5 and the central axis 10 is γ, and the value range of β and γ is for example 30° to 60°, which increases the head intake to reduce emissions, and increases the airflow velocity to prevent backfire.

[0067] The number of first stage swirl vanes 6a is for example 6 to 8, and the number of second stage swirl vanes 7a is for example 12 to 16. Each vane of the first stage swirl vanes 6a and the second stage swirl vanes 7a is arranged with for example 3 fuel injection holes on the windward side and the leeward side, and the hole diameter is for example 0.6 to 1mm.

The coaxial staged combustion chamber head based on the sleeve type fuel supply of the application can effectively save the space of the combustion chamber occupied by the fuel supply and improve the space utilization rate of the combustion chamber; the staged and partitioned combustion mode can reduce pollutant emission and prevent head ablation.

The oblique radial fuel injection hole 1d and the axial fuel injection hole 1c are both the fuel injection holes of the duty class.

[0073] When the duty class works, the working medium transported by the duty class fuel conduit 1a is fuel for low working conditions; conversely, when the duty class does not work, the working medium transported by the duty class fuel conduit 1a is air to prevent ablation of the center bluff body 1b.

[0074] The first stage fuel flows into the upstream fuel cavity 6b in the first stage swirl vane 6a through the first stage fuel conduit 2a and is sprayed out from the first stage fuel injection hole 6d to be fully premixed with air downstream of the first stage swirl vane 6a; the second stage fuel flows into the downstream fuel cavity 6c in the first stage swirl vane 6a through the second stage fuel conduit 3, then flows into the first stage hub fuel cavity 4b and then flows into the second stage swirl vane fuel cavity 7b, and is sprayed out from the second stage fuel injection hole 7c to be fully premixed with air downstream of the second stage swirl vane 7a.
