DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The combustion chamber liquid film blowing tool of the application is shown in Figures 1 to 4 , comprising an air inlet tool assembly 1 and a limiting assembly. The air inlet tool assembly 1 comprises an annular shell 11, an air inlet hole 15 and a blowing hole 16 arranged on the annular shell 11, the blowing hole 16 being arranged at a position close to the throat of the combustion chamber; the annular shell 11 is nested at one end away from the throat of the combustion chamber, comprising an inner shell 12 and an outer shell 13, the outer shell 13 being gap-fitted with the inner wall of the combustion chamber, the fitting gap being 0.15mm-0.20mm, the annular cavity 14 being formed between the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 13, the air inlet hole 15 and the blowing hole 16 both being communicated with the annular cavity 14; the inner shell 12 comprises a cylindrical section and a conical section connected with the cylindrical section and located at the end of the air inlet tool assembly 1 close to the throat, the end of the conical section being inclined towards the outer shell 13, the included angle with the central axis being 10°-15°, facilitating the observation of the liquid film from the upper end of the combustion chamber, and having a guiding effect on the direction of the compressed air in the annular cavity 14.

[0033] The blowing hole 16 is arranged on the outer shell 13 near one end of the throat and comprises a plurality of through holes arranged uniformly in the circumferential direction of the outer shell 13; the plurality of through holes have the same angle with the central axis and are 10°-90°, Figure 1 as shown in the angle of Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the angle is an acute angle as shown, the through hole is inclined to the movement direction of the high-pressure gas of the combustion chamber, and is arranged towards the throat of the combustion chamber. In this embodiment, the number of through holes is 80-95, the hole diameter is not greater than 1.5 mm, the through holes have the same angle with the central axis and are preferably 10°-40°, the blowing hole 16 is arranged on the outer shell 13 near one end of the throat, and the beam of compressed air is used to form a stable high-speed flow of gas towards the throat of the outer shell 13 and the inner wall of the combustion chamber. When the angle is less than 40°, the local flow resistance loss coefficient is less than 0.3, which is more conducive to reducing the flow resistance of the liquid film blowing tool. The first annular groove 17 is arranged on the outer shell 13 at the position of the outer ends of the plurality of through holes, and the first annular groove 17 is used to form a stable and uniform gas flow at the outer ends of the plurality of through holes of the blowing hole 16. The end of the outer shell 13 near the throat of the combustion chamber is arranged as a round corner, and the size of the round corner is R0.1-R0.3. The arrangement of the cooperation gap and the round corner guides the compressed air of the blowing hole, and satisfies the compressed air with a specific flow rate and direction. If the cooperation gap and the round corner are too large, the compressed air will be dispersed, greatly reducing the directional flow rate of the compressed air between the outer shell 13 and the inner wall of the combustion chamber, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of simulation test. If the cooperation gap and the round corner are too small, the installation difficulty will be increased, and the inner wall of the combustion chamber may be damaged.

[0034] In this embodiment, the air inlet hole 15 is at least two and is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the air inlet tool assembly 1. The straight-through joint 19 is welded on the air inlet hole 15 and is used to connect the compressed air device.

[0035] The limiting assembly is an annular limiting plate 2 sleeved on the throat of the combustion chamber. The inner end face of the annular limiting plate 2 is provided with a third annular groove for installing a protective gasket 21 to avoid the outer wall of the throat of the combustion chamber being damaged by the annular limiting plate 2. The outer shell 13 of the air inlet tool assembly 1 is provided with a limiting boss 18, the limiting boss 18 is fixed with the annular limiting plate 2 by bolts, and the limiting boss 18 abuts against one end face of the combustion chamber. The boss at the throat of the combustion chamber limits the annular limiting plate 2, so that the position of the air inlet tool assembly 1 is always stable.

[0036] The surface of the outer shell 13 and the side of the limiting boss 18 in contact with the combustion chamber are provided with a second annular groove 110 for setting an O-shaped sealing ring 111. The compression amount of the O-shaped sealing ring 111 provided on the side of the limiting boss 18 in contact with the combustion chamber is 25%-30%, and the compression amount of the O-shaped sealing ring 111 provided on the surface of the outer shell 13 is 12%-15%. If the compression amount is too small, sealing failure will occur, and if the compression amount is too large, the O-shaped sealing ring will be cut, which will further lead to sealing failure.

[0037] The use method of the combustion chamber liquid film blowing tool is as follows: corresponding O-shaped sealing rings 111 are arranged in the second grooves of the outer shell 13 of the air inlet tool assembly 1, the air inlet tool assembly 1 is inserted from the end far away from the combustion chamber and far away from the throat of the combustion chamber, and corresponding O-shaped sealing rings 111 are arranged on the side of the limiting boss 18 in contact with the combustion chamber; the annular limiting plate 2 is sleeved on the throat of the combustion chamber, and the protective gasket 21 is installed in the third annular groove of the annular limiting plate 2; the limiting boss 18 and the annular limiting plate 2 are butt-jointed by bolts, so that the air inlet tool assembly 1 and the combustion chamber are fixed by the annular limiting plate 2.

[0038] When the liquid film blowing test is performed to inspect the liquid film of the combustion chamber, the actual gas blowing liquid film process needs to be simulated. The combustion chamber is provided with tangential holes 31 and water inlet interfaces 3 communicating with the tangential holes 31 near the throat of the combustion chamber. Water is used to simulate the liquid film of the combustion chamber, the water inlet flow is adjusted to form a liquid film on the inner wall of the throat of the combustion chamber; compressed air is simultaneously introduced into the two air inlet holes 15 of the air inlet tool assembly 1 to simulate the high-pressure gas of the combustion chamber in the positive direction. As shown in Figure 1 the water flows into the combustion chamber through the tangential holes 31 arranged in the circumferential direction on the side wall of the combustion chamber through the water inlet interfaces 3, and a stable liquid film is formed on the inner wall of the combustion chamber. Then, compressed air is introduced through the air inlet tool assembly 1, the compressed air is blown to the liquid film through the blowing holes 16, and the uniformity and integrity of the liquid film are observed. If the liquid film is blown away, the tangential hole structure of the combustion chamber needs to be repaired, and if the liquid film can maintain a stable and uniform state under blowing, the liquid film of the combustion chamber meets the requirements.
