Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aviation engines, and in particular to an aviation gas turbine engine. Background Art

[0002] In the development of aviation gas turbine engines, in order to significantly and quickly increase the engine thrust, the integrated afterburner has been widely studied, especially in military turbojet and turbofan engines. In the new integrated afterburner, the turbine rear support plate and the fuel injection rod are integrated together, and the return vortex formed at the tail of the rear support plate is used to achieve flame stabilization to reduce flow losses and the weight of the engine. However, while the afterburner increases the engine thrust, it also produces high-temperature combustion gas, which greatly increases the heat load of the hot end components. An efficient cooling structure is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0003] As an important rectifying and diffuser component of the integrated afterburner, it is crucial to further optimize the aerodynamic and thermal performance of the center cone. The gas temperature above the center cone is close to 2000K, so effective cooling measures must be used to protect the center cone and other core components of the combustion chamber to avoid high temperature corrosion and damage. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: The present invention aims to provide an aviation gas turbine engine that combines a memory alloy with an air film cooling structure to change the flow field distribution and the air film coverage effect to improve the aerodynamic and thermal performance of air film cooling.

[0005] Technical solution: The aviation gas turbine engine described in the present invention includes an afterburner, and the central cone of the afterburner is composed of a front section, a first connecting section, a middle section, a second connecting section and a rear section connected in sequence, and the front section, the middle section and the rear section are made of high-temperature alloys, and the first connecting section and the second connecting section are made of shape memory alloys. When the cone surface temperature of the central cone reaches the deformation temperature, the first connecting section and the second connecting section are deformed, and the inclination angles of the front section and the rear section change with the deformation of the first connecting section and the second connecting section, and the cone size of the central cone changes accordingly, and the overall surface posture of the central cone in the afterburner is dynamically adjusted; the front section, the middle section and the rear section are all provided with air film holes.

[0006] Furthermore, air film holes are also formed on the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment. When the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment are deformed, the air film holes on the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment change in size accordingly.

[0007] Preferably, the inclination angle of the front section is 40°~60°; the middle section is horizontally arranged, and its inclination angle does not change with the memory alloy; and the inclination angle of the rear section is 20°~30°.

[0008] Furthermore, the shape memory alloy temperature of the first connecting section and the second connecting section T s and dependent variable F The relationship is

[0009] ;

[0010] In the formula ,M f 、M s 、A s and A f Respectively represent the temperatures of the start of martensitic transformation, the end of martensitic transformation, the start of austenitic transformation and the end of austenitic transformation; F max is the maximum deformation of the shape memory alloy. Below the critical design temperature (i.e., the martensitic phase transformation start temperature), the first connecting section and the second connecting section present an initial cambered state; when the temperature exceeds the critical design temperature, the first connecting section and the second connecting section deform, the overall opening direction remains unchanged, but the camber decreases, and the connection presents an extended and stretched state.

[0011] Furthermore, the center angle of the first connecting section is 35°~60°, and the corresponding center is located on the high-temperature mainstream side; the center angle of the second connecting section is 30°~40°, and the corresponding center is located on the cooling secondary flow side.

[0012] Preferably, the air film holes are regularly arranged on the front section, the first connecting section, the middle section, the second connecting section and the rear section to form a stable air film to protect the wall surface.

[0013] Furthermore, after the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment are deformed, the total opening area of ​​the air film holes on the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment increases in the range of 0-10%.

[0014] Preferably, the aperture of each section of the air film holes is greater than or equal to 1.0 mm and less than 1.5 mm, the air film hole row spacing is 10 mm, the air film hole pitch is 6 mm, and the air film holes are all opened in the opposite direction of the high-temperature mainstream.

[0015] Preferably, the deflection angle of the air film hole is determined according to the inclination angles of the front section, the middle section, and the rear section and the position where the backflow vortex appears in the numerical calculation. The deflection angle of the air film hole in the front section is 55°, the deflection angle of the air film hole in the middle section is 45°, and the deflection angle of the air film hole in the rear section is 30°.

[0016] Furthermore, the shape of the air film hole is any one of a reference circular hole, a fan-shaped hole and a convergent slit hole. Preferably, the shape of the air film hole is a reference circular hole. Among the three hole types, the fan-shaped hole has the best overall cooling effect, followed by the reference circular hole. Considering that the fan-shaped hole is a segmented expansion structure, it is difficult to process in actual combustion chamber applications, especially at a maximum aperture of 1-2 mm. Considering the cooling effect and the actual processing difficulty, the present invention preferably uses a reference circular hole.

[0017] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: 1. The present invention adopts a connecting segment made of shape memory alloy to connect the front segment, middle segment and rear segment of the center cone, and utilizes the adaptive deformation ability of the memory alloy to change the cone shape of the center cone, dynamically adjust the blowing angle of each segment of the air film, thereby changing the flow field distribution characteristics and the air film covering effect, and improving the aerodynamic and thermal performance of the center cone air film cooling structure; 2. The present invention adopts a connecting segment made of shape memory alloy with air film holes to replace the original rigid connecting segment without air film holes, further optimizing the covering effect of the cooling air film on the center cone wall, thereby improving the overall thermal performance of the center cone cooling structure.
