[0050] Two rear section side walls 6, the front end is connected at the rear end of the two front section side walls 5, and the rearward air outlet slot D is formed between the rear end of the two front section side walls 5;

[0052] For the above-mentioned embodiment of the aero-engine binary nozzle, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the high-temperature gas in the aero-engine can be discharged through the channel formed by the round-to-square section 1, the converging section 2, the diverging section 3, the front section side wall 5 and the rear section side wall 6, and at the same time, cooling air can be introduced into the cooling air inlet cavity from the outside through the cooling air inlet hole A; part of the cooling air can be discharged through the cooling air outlet hole B, and this part of the cooling air can cool the converging section 2, the diverging section 3 and the outer adjusting piece 4 along the way; another part of the cooling air can enter the cooling air outlet cavity through the cooling communication hole C, and then be discharged through the rearward air outlet slot D, and this part of the cooling air can cool the front section side wall 5 and the side wall outer cover 7 along the way; the cooling air discharged from the rearward air outlet slot D can form a cooling air film on the inner side of the rear section side wall 6, and cool the rear section side wall 6 along the way.
[0053] For the above-mentioned aero-engine binary nozzle disclosed in the embodiments, those skilled in the art can understand that the design introduces external cooling gas to cool the internal and external components along the way, such as the convergent section 2, the divergent section 3, the outer adjustment piece 4, the front section side wall 5, the rear section side wall 6, and the side wall cover 7. By controlling the flow of cooling gas, the cooling effect on the internal and external components can be ensured, the infrared radiation characteristics of the internal and external components can be effectively suppressed, the infrared stealth performance of the aero-engine can be ensured, and the internal components can be prevented from being ablated and the external components from being deformed and warped. Moreover, the external flow is not used, and there is no need to worry about the matching problem with the state of the aero-engine.
[0054] In the above-mentioned aero-engine binary nozzle disclosed in the embodiments, the connection relationship and the specific structure design among the round-to-square section 1, the convergent section 2, the divergent section 3, and the outer adjustment piece 4 can be specifically referred to CN113107706, and will not be described in more detail here.
[0055] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aero-engine binary nozzle, the rear ends of the two divergent sections 3 and the outer adjustment piece 4 are in a pointed cone shape, the cooling exhaust holes B are distributed along the rear end edges of the two divergent sections 3 and the outer adjustment piece 4, the two front section side walls 5, the rear section side wall 6, and the side wall cover 7 are in a V shape as a whole, and the rearward exhaust slots D are in a rearwardly expanding V shape, so as to ensure the aerodynamic performance of the aero-engine binary nozzle, achieve better cooling effect, and have better radar stealth performance.
[0056] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aero-engine binary nozzle, the flow area of the two cooling air inlet holes A is 1-2 times the flow area of each cooling exhaust hole B and cooling communication hole C, and the flow area of each cooling communication hole C is 1-2 times the flow area of the two rearward exhaust slots D, so as to ensure the flow capacity of the introduced external cooling gas and ensure the cooling effect on the internal and external components.
[0057] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aero-engine binary nozzle, the two outer adjustment pieces 4 converge inward, so that the cooling gas discharged through each cooling exhaust hole B converges inward, can be wrapped and mixed with the high-temperature gas discharged from the aero-engine binary nozzle, so as to reduce noise and exhaust temperature and improve stealth effect.
[0058] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned aero-engine binary nozzle, it further comprises:
[0059] Two pipe connectors 8 are connected to the connecting edges of the two opposite side walls at the rear end of the round-to-square section 1 and communicate with the two cooling air inlet holes A;
[0060] Two spherical connectors 9;
[0061] Two compression caps 10 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the two spherical connecting nozzles 9 and are connected with the two pipe connecting nozzles 8 in a threaded fit, so as to compress the two spherical connecting nozzles 9 on the pipe connecting nozzles 8, and the spherical taper surfaces of the two spherical connecting nozzles 9 and the pipe connecting nozzles 8 are in fit contact, so as to ensure the sealing performance and facilitate disassembly and assembly;
[0062] Two air induction pipes 11 are connected on the two spherical connecting nozzles 9 and are connected with the external air source, so that the external cooling air can be introduced to the cooling air induction holes by the air induction pipes 11.
[0063] Two flow control valves 12 are arranged on the two air induction pipes 11 and can control the flow of the cooling air.
[0064] At high altitudes, the air temperature is low, and with the increase of the height, the environmental temperature sharply decreases. Under the cruising state of the aircraft, the environmental temperature can reach -70 to -30℃. For example, at 11 km, the air temperature is -50℃, and above 15 km, it reaches below -70℃. The binary nozzle of the aero-engine disclosed in the above embodiment can effectively utilize the external low-temperature air, actively control the introduction of the external low-temperature air into the cavity of the high-temperature nozzle member through the flow control valve 12, cool the high-temperature nozzle member, enhance the stealth capability, and enhance the component life and reliability.
[0065] The binary nozzle of the aero-engine disclosed in the above embodiment can actively control the flow of the introduced cooling air. On the one hand, through the increase of the flow and pressure, the problem of low component life and reliability and poor stealth performance caused by the backflow of the high-temperature main flow in the binary nozzle is solved. On the other hand, according to the actual scene demand, the cooling air flow can be increased or decreased as needed. For example, in the escape, the cooling air flow can be actively controlled to be increased, and in the conventional cruising state, the flow can be adjusted to a moderate state.
[0066] The binary nozzle of the aero-engine disclosed in the above embodiment can flow out the cooling air from the holes on the nozzle cover and the nozzle side wall, which can be mixed with the high-temperature main flow. Especially, the cooling air is discharged from the holes on the nozzle cover, which is discharged to the high-temperature main flow and also sucked into the external air, which can enhance the heat exchange with the high-temperature main flow, reduce the length of the high-temperature core area of the main flow of the exhaust gas of the nozzle, and thus effectively reduce the infrared radiation intensity of the jet flow.
[0067] The progressive manner is adopted in the description of each embodiment in the specification, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments. The same and similar parts of each embodiment can be referred to each other.
[0068] The technical scheme of the present application has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
