[0002] The afterburner is a component that forcibly mixes internal combustion gases and external bypass air before injecting fuel, igniting, and burning them to increase the airflow temperature and thus increase engine thrust in a short period of time. It is mainly used in military aero engines to meet the need for a significant increase in thrust in a short time. To verify the combustion performance of the afterburner in a variable cycle engine, it is necessary to design a sector-shaped test device for the variable cycle afterburner to observe the ignition and combustion boundary conditions.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown.
[0034] This application discloses a sector-shaped test device for a variable-cycle afterburner, comprising:
[0035] The spray / stabilize integrated section 2 is connected to the adjustable mixer section 1 at one end via spring washer 4, nut 5, and bolt 6. The other end of the spray / stabilize integrated section 2 is connected to the booster cylinder section I 29 via spring washer 4, nut 5, and bolt 6. The booster cylinder section I 29 is connected to the booster cylinder section II 3 via spring washer 4, nut 5, and bolt 6.
[0036] The spray / stabilize integrated section 2, the adjustable mixer section 1, the booster cylinder section I 29, and the booster cylinder section II 3 are all equipped with cooling water inlet flange 9 and cooling water outlet flange 10 in relative positions. Cooling water enters from the cooling water inlet flange 9, is heated and atomized, and then exits from the cooling water outlet flange 10.
[0037] The integrated spray / stabilization section 2 is equipped with a radial ignition mounting base 7, an inner cone ignition mounting base 8, and a circumferential ignition mounting base 15. The radial ignition mounting base 7 is equipped with a radial ignition nozzle, the inner cone ignition mounting base 8 is equipped with an inner cone ignition nozzle 16, and the circumferential ignition mounting base 15 is equipped with a circumferential ignition nozzle. The inner cone ignition nozzle 16, the radial ignition nozzle, and the circumferential ignition nozzle are distributed at different ignition points within the integrated spray / stabilization section 2 and can perform ignition.
[0038] The integrated injection / stabilization section 2 is equipped with a main pipe mounting base 11, on which are mounted a second-path main pipe 12, a third-path main pipe 13, and a first-path main pipe 14. The integrated injection / stabilization section 2 contains three fuel-spraying components: a first-path spray bar 25, a second-path spray bar 26, and a third-path spray bar 27. The first-path spray bar 25 is connected to the first-path main pipe 14, the second-path spray bar 26 is connected to the second-path main pipe 12, and the third-path spray bar 27 is connected to the third-path main pipe 13. The integrated injection / stabilization section 2 also contains a long-injection / stabilization integrated component 17 and a short-injection / stabilization integrated component 18, which are spaced apart and positioned at different locations within the integrated injection / stabilization section 2.
[0039] The inner cone ignition nozzle 16, radial ignition nozzle, and circumferential ignition nozzle, which can ignite at different ignition points, and the I-way spray bar 25, II-way spray bar 26, III-way spray bar 27, long spray / stabilization integrated component 17, and short spray / stabilization integrated component 18, which can inject oil and burn at different positions, are arranged and combined to achieve different combustion boundaries after ignition at different positions within the spray / stabilization integrated section 2, thus solving the problem of not being able to test different combustion boundaries produced by ignition at different positions.
[0040] A fuel baffle 19 is installed at the port of the injection / stabilization integrated section 2 near the adjustable mixer section 1. The fuel baffle 19 prevents the fuel from spreading into the adjustable mixer section 1 when it is injected, so that the flame after ignition and combustion only blows towards the booster cylinder section I 29 and booster cylinder section II 3.
[0041] The inner wall of the integrated injection / stabilization section 2 is fixedly installed with a heat insulation screen section I 20 by mounting base 21, screw 22, and washer 24. The heat insulation screen section I 20 and the inner wall of the integrated injection / stabilization section 2 are spaced to form an inner flow channel cooling channel, which is filled by low temperature air from the outer casing to absorb and carry away the heat radiation from fuel combustion, thereby reducing the heat radiation of the inner shell of the integrated injection / stabilization section 2 and lowering its wall temperature.
[0042] An outlet measuring point mounting seat 31 is detachably and fixedly installed on the booster cylinder section II 3 that is close to the injection / stabilization integrated section 2. The outlet measuring point mounting seat 31 allows observation of different combustion boundaries at different ignition positions from the outlet end of the injection / stabilization integrated section 2.
[0043] A heat insulation screen section III 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the booster cylinder section II 3 by mounting base 21, screw 22, and washer 24. The heat insulation screen section III 32 and the inner wall of the booster cylinder section II 3 are spaced apart to form an internal flow channel cooling channel, which is filled by low temperature air from the outer casing to absorb and carry away the heat radiation from fuel combustion, thereby reducing the heat radiation from the inner shell of the booster cylinder section II 3 and lowering its wall temperature.
[0044] A heat insulation screen section II 30 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the afterburner section I 29 by mounting base 21, screw 22, and washer 24. The heat insulation screen section II 30 and the inner wall of the afterburner section I 29 are spaced apart to form an internal flow channel cooling channel, which is filled by low temperature air from the outer casing to absorb and carry away the heat radiation from fuel combustion, thereby reducing the heat radiation from the inner shell of the afterburner section I 29 and lowering its wall temperature.
[0045] The adjustable mixer section 1 is provided with an observation window 28, through which the combustion boundary at different ignition positions can be observed from the inlet end of the injection / stabilization integrated section 2.
