Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aircraft heat protection, and particularly relates to a design method of aircraft heat blocking technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the flight of the aircraft in the high altitude, the incoming air is subjected to strong compression and friction, which will cause serious aerodynamic heating, so that the surface temperature of the aircraft rises sharply. With the increase of flight time, the aerodynamic heating gradually accumulates, and the heat is further transmitted along the aircraft shell to the inside, causing the temperature of the internal environment of the aircraft to rise, which will cause the destruction of the temperature-sensitive devices and cause the failure of the flight mission if the temperature of the temperature-sensitive devices exceeds the use temperature.

[0003] In order to avoid the high temperature of the internal environment of the aircraft, the existing scheme mainly adopts the passive heat protection mode, however, the passive heat protection scheme needs to select the appropriate thickness of the heat protection layer when the flight environment changes, and the local temperature control effect is limited in a small range, which is difficult to apply to high-speed long-endurance flight missions. In addition, in the case that there is a gap between the protruding parts of the aircraft and the fuselage, due to the effect of the gap flow, the local thermal environment is deteriorated, and more serious ablation will occur in the airflow, further increasing the demand for heat protection and heat insulation. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out heat protection research on the local high-temperature environment. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the heat protection demand of the local high-temperature environment of the aircraft, the present application proposes a self-driven flap heat blocking design method, which adopts a self-cooling mode to use the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the aircraft to transport the working medium to the flap, so as to realize self-driven heat blocking to prevent heat from being transmitted to the inside and control the environmental temperature of the temperature-sensitive device.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0006] The present invention proposes a self-driven thermal blocking design method for a cover, comprising: a channel 3, an inner cavity 12, and a small hole 11 structure are provided inside the cover 2, wherein the channel 3 is a flow channel for the working medium 7, the inlet of the channel 3 is usually arranged on the bottom surface or side of the cover 2, the channel 3 spirally rises inside the cover 2, and the outlet of the channel 3 is connected to the inner cavity 12 of the cover; the inner cavity 12 of the cover is a hollow structure arranged inside the cover 2, and the working medium 7 reaches the inner cavity 12 of the cover through the channel 3; a plurality of small holes 11 are arranged on the top surface of the cover 2, and the bottom of each small hole 11 is connected to the inner cavity 12 of the cover. The working fluid 7 flows out of each small hole 11 within the opening 12. The connecting shaft 4 passes through the opening 2 and is connected to the protruding member 1. A one-way valve 6 is provided in the passage connecting the storage box 9 and the entrance of the passage 3. It is a switch for the flow of the working fluid 7 and is initially closed. It opens when the pressure difference between the two sides reaches a preset value. The storage box 9 is provided inside the aircraft to store the working fluid 7. A pressurizing device 8 is connected to the storage box 9 and promotes the flow of the working fluid 7 under the action of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the aircraft. A temperature-sensitive device 5 is provided inside the aircraft and connected to the lower end of the connecting shaft 4.

[0007] On the ground, the air pressure inside the cover 2 is almost equal to the external air pressure, the one-way valve 6 is closed, and the working medium 7 does not flow; in the air at high altitude, the internal pressure of the cover 2 is higher than the external air pressure, the pressure difference on both sides of the one-way valve 6 reaches a preset value, the one-way valve 6 opens, and under the action of the internal and external pressure difference, the booster device 8 pushes the working medium 7 in the storage box 9 to flow through the channel 3 and the inner cavity 12 of the cover in turn, fully absorbing the heat near the cover 2 and the connecting shaft 4, blocking the heat from transferring inward, and controlling the ambient temperature of the temperature-sensitive device 5; finally, the working medium 7 flows out from the small hole 11, further taking away the heat of the nearby air.

[0008] The protruding parts are usually structural or functional parts outside the shell, such as rudders, etc. The gap between them and the shell is a high-temperature environment, and the heat is conducted to the interior of the aircraft through the cover and the connecting shaft;

[0009] The flap has a channel, inner cavity, and small hole structure, which are designed as an integral part of the flap. The channel is the flow channel for the working medium, which flows in from the bottom or side of the flap. The cross-sectional shape of the channel is usually a regular shape such as a circle, triangle, quadrilateral, or ellipse. When the cross-sectional shape of the channel 3 is a triangle or quadrilateral, the adjacent surfaces of the channel are chamfered or non-chamfered. The channel outlet is the inner cavity of the flap; the inner cavity is the hollow structure inside the flap, and the working medium passes through the channel to reach the inner cavity. The small hole is arranged on the top surface of the flap, and the bottom of the small hole connects to the inner cavity, serving as the outlet for the working medium to flow out. The small hole shape is usually a regular shape such as a circle, triangle, quadrilateral, or ellipse.

[0010] The connecting shaft passes through the cover and is connected to the protruding component to bear / transmit force and heat;

[0011] The one-way valve is a switch for the flow of working fluid, which is initially closed and opens when the pressure difference between the two sides reaches a preset value;

[0012] The storage box is in the aircraft, and can be designed according to the effective space in the aircraft, and is used for storing the working medium;

[0013] The pressurizing device is connected with the storage box, and the working medium is pushed to flow under the action of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the aircraft;

[0014] The working medium is a flowable medium which can take away the heat of the heated part, and under the action of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the aircraft, sequentially enters the channel and the inner cavity from the storage box, absorbs the heat of the cover and the connecting shaft, and finally flows out from the small hole, further taking away the heat of the surrounding air; the working medium can be gas, liquid, supercritical fluid, etc.

[0015] The temperature-sensitive device is in the aircraft, and is an instrument protected by the thermal blocking design method, and the environmental temperature of the temperature-sensitive device is controlled under the action of the thermal blocking.

[0016] The core of the present application is to provide a self-driven cover thermal blocking design method, adopt a self-cooling thermal protection method, utilize the fact that the internal air pressure of the aircraft is higher than the external air pressure in the high altitude, realize self-driven blocking of the heat transfer to the inside, and control the environmental temperature of the temperature-sensitive device in the aircraft.

[0017] The self-driven cover thermal blocking principle of the present application is as follows:

[0018] Firstly, on the ground, the internal air pressure of the cover is almost equal to the external air pressure, and the one-way valve is closed.

[0019] Secondly, in the high altitude, the internal pressure of the cover is higher than the external air pressure, the pressure difference between the two sides of the one-way valve reaches a preset value, and the one-way valve is opened.

[0020] Subsequently, the working medium in the storage box is pushed to flow into the inner cavity through the channel under the action of the internal and external pressure difference, fully absorbs the heat near the cover and the connecting shaft, blocks the heat transfer to the inside, controls the environmental temperature of the temperature-sensitive device, and realizes self-driven blocking of the heat transfer to the inside.

[0021] Finally, the working medium flows out from the small hole, further taking away the heat of the surrounding air.
