TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of rapid compressor experimental device design, and particularly relates to a double-opposed-piston rapid compressor ignition experimental device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, most of the piston aeroengines use gasoline as fuel, and compared with gasoline, aviation kerosene has higher flash point, lower volatility, is not easy to ignite at room temperature, is good in economy, and is high in application safety. In recent years, the aviation field has attached great importance to the research on aviation kerosene. However, the lower self-ignition temperature and octane number make aviation kerosene slow in evaporation and combustion speed when applied to spark-ignition engines, and more prone to self-ignition, and thus more prone to knock problems, causing the engine to have problems such as power drop, oil consumption increase, and emission deterioration, and in severe cases, the engine life is shortened and the engine is damaged. The ignition system is a key factor affecting the combustion process of the spark-ignition engine. It is of great significance to use a reasonable method to study different ignition strategies to suppress the occurrence of engine knock. For an engine with a certain fuel, reasonable ignition parameters can effectively improve the in-cylinder combustion and shorten the combustion period, and can reduce the tendency of abnormal combustion, so that the combustion can be fully carried out. In view of this, it is crucial to deeply study and optimize the ignition time and establish an advanced ignition experimental device. SUMMARY
[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the present application aims to establish a double-opposed-piston rapid compressor ignition experimental device to reasonably arrange the ignition system, suppress the occurrence of knock, and make the combustion fully carried out.

[0005] a combustion system comprising a combustion chamber and a piston, two ends of the combustion chamber are provided with openings, the openings are connected with a pipeline in which the piston is located, and the front opening of the combustion chamber is provided with a viewing window;
[0006] an air pressure system comprising an air pressure bin and a rapid compressor, the air pressure bin is in a double-opposed structure; the rapid compressor can compress air to 10 atmospheres;
[0007] a sample introduction and exhaust system comprising a gas cylinder, a gas mixing tank, and a vacuum pump; the gas in the gas cylinder is filled into the gas mixing tank through a pipeline, the vacuum pump is connected with the combustion chamber and the air pressure bin through an air exhaust pipe, and is used to vacuumize the combustion chamber and the air pressure bin; the gas mixing tank stores premixed gas, which is filled into the combustion chamber through a pipeline;
[0008] An oil pressure system comprising: an oil pressure tank and an oil pressure pump capable of pumping oil into the oil pressure tank, the oil pressure tank being configured to provide a pressure lock for the piston.
[0009] Further, the double-opposed-piston rapid-compressor ignition experiment device further comprises an information acquisition system, the information acquisition system comprising: a pressure sensor arranged on the combustion chamber for monitoring the pressure in the combustion chamber; an optical probe and a grating monochromator arranged on the combustion chamber for acquiring physical parameters during combustion; a position sensor arranged on the piston for calibrating the position of the piston; an electronic computer and an amplifier and acquisition card, the electronic computer and the amplifier and acquisition card being in data connection, the data acquired by the pressure sensor, the optical probe and the grating monochromator, and the position sensor being input to the electronic computer through the amplifier and acquisition card for analyzing the physical parameters of the combustion process.
[0010] Further, the combustion chamber is a hollow cuboid structure with open ends, and a quartz glass window is arranged on the front face as a viewing window, wherein the viewing window is used for data acquisition by the optical probe and the grating monochromator during the experiment.
[0011] Further, the double-opposed-piston rapid-compressor ignition experiment device is provided with one or more gas cylinders, and the gas in each gas cylinder is input into the gas mixing tank through a pipeline in proportion and pre-mixed for a period of time.
[0012] Preferably, the oil pressure tank can also provide a buffer during rapid compression.
[0013] In another aspect, the present application provides an experimental method using the double-opposed-piston rapid-compressor ignition experiment device according to claim 1, the method comprising:
[0014] Step 1, turn on the vacuum pump to vacuumize the combustion chamber (9) and the gas pressure tank (3);
[0015] Step 2, charge the combustion chamber (9) through the gas mixing tank (5) to the required pressure for the experiment;
[0016] Step 3, turn on the oil pressure pump (8) to pump oil into the oil pressure tank (7), so that the pressure generated in the oil pressure tank (7) is higher than the pressure generated in the gas pressure tank by the compressed air from the rapid compressor (6) in the subsequent step 4;
[0017] Step 4, charge the gas pressure tank (3) with compressed air compressed to 10 atmospheres through the rapid compressor (6);
[0018] Step 5, instantaneously release the oil pressure of the oil pressure chamber (7), and the compressed air in the air pressure chamber (3) pushes the piston (10) to compress the fuel in the combustion chamber (9) at a very fast speed to complete ignition.

[0020] Further, oil is pumped into the oil pressure chamber (7) so that the pressure generated in the oil pressure chamber (7) is 5 to 10 times the pressure generated in the air pressure chamber by the compressed air from the rapid compressor (6) in step 4. The beneficial effects of the present application are that the double-opposed-piston rapid compressor has a novel structure, that is, each side of the rapid compressor is a mirror image of the other side, and its double-opposed nature is used to maintain a constant high-pressure condition at the end of compression in order to study the pre-flame reaction. Since the induction time is reduced at higher pressures, in order to maintain a short duration of compression time, within this speed limit, a double-opposed piston is used. The complexity of strict machining tolerances is introduced in terms of centering, piston synchronization, and fast but controlled deceleration of both pistons at the end of the stroke. Such a structure can reduce the possibility of vibration and unmatched stopping force, and independent piston plungers are mechanically balanced. Moreover, the experimental device not only covers a temperature range from 400K to 1000K, but also includes a wide range of pressures from 1 to 100atm. This ensures that we can conduct combustion and compression experiments under different working conditions, making the experimental results more representative and scalable. This wide range of experimental working conditions provides researchers with more options, allowing them to conduct more comprehensive and in-depth research under various practical working conditions.
