Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rocket engines, and in particular relates to a nozzle, a nozzle assembly, a rocket engine and a rocket engine assembly. Background Art
[0002] Liquid rocket engines are divided into open cycle and closed cycle according to the circulation mode. The open cycle includes gas generator cycle, open expansion cycle, exhaust cycle and other modes. Among them, the open cycle loses some performance because the working fluid driving the turbine is discharged into the environment at a lower speed. Generally, the specific impulse of the open engine with the same propellant is lower than that of the closed engine. In addition, the nozzle expansion ratio will also greatly affect the performance of the engine. A larger nozzle expansion ratio can make the fuel expand more fully in the nozzle, thereby obtaining a higher exhaust velocity and a higher specific impulse, but an excessively large expansion ratio will cause nozzle flow separation, resulting in a limitation of the expansion ratio, which will inhibit the improvement of nozzle performance. At present, there is a way to suppress separation by ejecting a high-speed airflow from the outside of the nozzle and using the ejection effect of the jet, but this method requires an external air source and an additional nozzle structure. Due to its large mass, it can only be applied to the test bench and the ignition stage of the rocket. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a nozzle with a simple structure and high integration, which can suppress nozzle flow separation and improve the expansion ratio.

[0005] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that: by directly processing a unilateral expansion nozzle on the nozzle body, the processing cost is low, and at the same time, the nozzle accelerates the airflow to supersonic speed without increasing the weight. When the supersonic airflow is blown into the nozzle end inside the nozzle body, it can act on the separation flow field (the separation boundary layer with a reverse pressure gradient in the nozzle body is directly blown away), and the ability to suppress flow separation in the nozzle body is higher than passive injection outside the nozzle body. In addition, the supersonic airflow can also increase the thrust and specific impulse, and the angle between the axis of the throat and the axis of the nozzle body is set to 10-20°, so that the exhaust speed of the unilateral expansion nozzle can be converted into thrust to a large extent.

[0014] a: The width of the outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle is expanded to Do, and the expansion ratio of the outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle is ε 1 , ε 1 =Do / Dc,ε 1 The value of is 3-6;
[0015] b: The width of the inlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle is expanded to Di, and the contraction ratio of the inlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle is ε 2 , ε 2 =Di / Dc,ε 2 The value of is 1.5-3;
[0016] c: The angle between the flared surface at the outlet of the unilateral expansion nozzle and the center line at the throat is θ 2 , where θ 2 >θ 1 ;
[0017] d: The angle between the flared surface of the inlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle and the axis at the throat is θ 3 , where θ 3 <90°-θ 1 ;
[0018] e: The throat is rounded on one side near the nozzle end of the nozzle body, and the radius of the rounded corner is R, Dc <R<2Dc。
[0019] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: it simplifies the processing flow, and enables the airflow to have a higher flow rate after being ejected through the unilateral expansion nozzle. At the same time, the airflow is smoother when ejected through the unilateral expansion nozzle without generating turbulence.
[0020] A second object of the present invention is to provide a nozzle assembly that has a simple structure, can suppress flow separation, has a large expansion ratio, and can improve the specific impulse of the rocket engine.
[0021] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a nozzle assembly, comprising a ring sleeve and the nozzle as described above, the ring sleeve being coaxially sleeved on the outer wall of the nozzle end of the nozzle body, the ring sleeve and the nozzle body together enclose a ring-shaped air collecting chamber, the ring sleeve is provided with an air inlet connected to the air collecting chamber, a plurality of single-sided expansion nozzles are provided, and all are located in the air collecting chamber, and the plurality of single-sided expansion nozzles are distributed circumferentially at intervals.

[0047] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. The present invention is described in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in the following paragraphs. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer according to the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a nozzle, including a nozzle body 1111, a unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 is obliquely arranged on the side wall of the nozzle end of the nozzle body 1111 and penetrates therethrough, the air inlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 is located on the outer wall of the nozzle body 1111, the air outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 is located on the inner wall of the nozzle body 1111, and the air outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 faces the nozzle end of the nozzle body 1111, the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 are both flared, and a throat 11121 is formed at the middle of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112, and the angle between the axis of the throat 11121 and the axis of the nozzle body 1111 is θ 1 , and θ 1The angle of the nozzle body is 10-20° (it can be any value among 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14°, 15°, 16°, 17°, 18°, 19° and 20° or a range corresponding to any two values). By directly processing a single-sided expansion nozzle on the nozzle body, the processing cost is low. At the same time, the nozzle accelerates the airflow to supersonic speed without increasing the weight. When the supersonic airflow is blown into the nozzle end inside the nozzle body, it can act on the separation flow field (the separation boundary layer with a reverse pressure gradient in the nozzle body is directly blown away). The ability to suppress flow separation in the nozzle body is higher than that of passively ejecting on the outside of the nozzle body. In addition, the supersonic airflow can also increase the thrust and specific impulse. The angle between the axis of the throat and the axis of the nozzle body is set to 10-20°, so that the exhaust speed of the single-sided expansion nozzle can be converted into thrust to the greatest extent.
[0050] In the above technical solution, the distance between the gas outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 and the nozzle end of the nozzle body 1111 is L, wherein the maximum value of L is 0.1Lp;
[0051] When the nozzle body 1111 is a conical nozzle, the minimum value of L is 0 (in this case, the value of L can be any value among 0.01Lp, 0.02Lp, 0.03Lp, 0.04Lp, 0.05Lp, 0.06Lp, 0.07Lp, 0.08Lp, 0.09Lp and 0.1Lp, or a range corresponding to any two values);
[0052] When the nozzle body 1111 is a bell-shaped nozzle, the minimum value of L is 0.01Lp (in this case, the value of L can be any value among 0.01Lp, 0.02Lp, 0.03Lp, 0.04Lp, 0.05Lp, 0.06Lp, 0.07Lp, 0.08Lp, 0.09Lp and 0.1Lp, or a range corresponding to any two values);
[0053] Among them, Lp is the length of the expansion section of the nozzle body 1111. This is because the outlet pressure of the single-sided expansion nozzle is smaller when it is closer to the nozzle end of the nozzle body. This is conducive to the single-sided expansion nozzle to obtain a larger jet velocity, so L cannot be too large; and in order to facilitate the processing of the single-sided expansion nozzle, for the conical nozzle, the minimum value of L is 0, and for the bell-shaped nozzle, the minimum value of L is 0.01Lp.
[0054] In the above technical solution, the cross-section of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 perpendicular to the axis at the throat 11121 is a rectangle, which helps to simplify the nozzle processing process.
[0055] The height of the throat 11121 described in the above technical solution is Dc, and Dc is 3-10mm (it can be any value among 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm and 10mm or the corresponding range between any two values), which can also ensure the reliability of the operation of the unilateral expansion nozzle (the width of the throat in the nozzle annular direction in this embodiment can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here).
[0056] In the above technical solution, the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 are expanded toward the nozzle end of the nozzle body 1111, which makes its processing easier, and the angle between the jet ejected by the unilateral expansion nozzle and the axis of the nozzle body is smaller, and a higher jet velocity can be further obtained.
[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in the above technical solution, the width of the outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 is expanded to Do, and the expansion ratio of the outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 is ε 1 , ε 1 =Do / Dc,ε 1 The value of is 3-6 (it can be any value among 3, 4, 5 and 6 or the corresponding range between any two values);
[0058] And / or the width of the inlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 is expanded to Di, and the contraction ratio of the inlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 is ε 2 , ε 2 =Di / Dc,ε 2 The value of is 1.5-3 (it can be any value among 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 or the corresponding range between any two values), which is helpful to ensure the reliable operation of the single-sided expansion nozzle at a higher efficiency.
[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the angle between the expansion surface of the outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 and the axis of the throat 11121 in the above technical solution is θ 2 , where θ 2 >θ 1 ;
[0060] and / or the angle between the expansion surface of the inlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle 1112 and the axis of the throat 11121 is θ 3 , where θ 3 <90°-θ 1 The jet ejected from the outlet end of the unilateral expansion nozzle is nearly parallel to the axial direction of the unilateral expansion nozzle (i.e., the axis of the throat), and the expansion at both ends of the throat is relatively gentle, thereby avoiding local jet turbulence.
[0061] like Figure 4As shown, in the above technical solution, the side of the throat 11121 close to the nozzle body 1111 nozzle end is chamfered, and the radius of the chamfered part is R, where Dc < R < 2Dc. This enables a smooth transition of the flared surfaces at the gas outlet end and the gas inlet end of the single-sided expansion nozzle 1112 at the throat, further avoiding local air flow turbulence.
[0062] In this embodiment, except for the side close to the nozzle body nozzle end which is a curved surface, the other three sides of the single-sided expansion nozzle are flat surfaces.
[0063] In this embodiment, the steps of machining the single-sided expansion nozzle on the side wall of the nozzle body are mainly divided into three steps:
[0064] Step 1: Mill a rectangular channel on the wall surface at the nozzle end of the nozzle body, with an angle θ with the axis of the nozzle body. 1 The width of the rectangular channel is Dc (as Figure 2 shown);
[0065] Step 2: Use a milling cutter to cut and flare the sides of the rectangular channel close to the nozzle end of the nozzle body at both ends (as Figure 3 shown);
[0066] Step 3: Chamfer the throat (as Figure 4 shown).
[0067] Embodiment 2
[0068] As Figure 5 shown, this embodiment provides a nozzle assembly, including a collar 112 and the nozzle 111 as described in Embodiment 1. The collar 112 is coaxially sleeved on the outer wall of the nozzle body 1111 nozzle end. The collar 112 and the nozzle body 1111 jointly enclose an annular gas collection chamber 113. An air inlet 1121 communicating with the inside of the gas collection chamber 113 is provided on the collar 112. A plurality of single-sided expansion nozzles 1112 are provided and are all located in the gas collection chamber 113. The plurality of single-sided expansion nozzles 1112 are circumferentially spaced apart, and the distance between adjacent two single-sided expansion nozzles 1112 does not exceed 0.5 cm (any value or the corresponding range between any two values among 0.1 cm, 0.2 cm, 0.3 cm, 0.4 cm, and 0.5 cm). In this way, a large number of uniformly distributed high-speed jets are formed circumferentially and spaced apart on the inner side of the nozzle body nozzle end by the plurality of single-sided expansion nozzles, which can improve the uniformity of the jet force distribution at the nozzle end of the nozzle and inhibit the backflow of the atmosphere into the nozzle body (inhibit jet separation). In addition, the distance between adjacent two single-sided expansion nozzles does not exceed 0.5 cm, which can prevent the nozzle from experiencing lateral loads.
