Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a combustion performance parameter testing device and method for low-cost solid propellant within a wide temperature range, belonging to the field of solid propellant performance testing. Background Art

[0002] The main structural parts of solid rocket engines include combustion chamber, propellant column, nozzle and ignition device. Due to its good maneuverability, high thrust and easy long-term storage, it is widely used in the field of rockets and missiles. The combustion chamber is an important component of the engine. It is the part where the propellant is installed, burned and thrust is generated. Linear burning rate, flame temperature, burning rate pressure index (n) and temperature coefficient (δ p ) are the four most important combustion performance parameters of propellants and are also the basic parameters for the manufacturing and design of missile power systems. They directly affect the pressure, thrust and working time of the solid rocket engine combustion chamber. The linear burning rate refers to the distance moved by the propellant along the normal direction of the combustion surface per unit time. The pressure exponent and the burning rate temperature coefficient represent the influence of pressure and initial ambient temperature on the burning rate of the propellant respectively.

[0003] Common tests for testing the combustion performance of solid propellants mainly use the constant pressure method to test the withdrawal process of the propellant strip, mainly including: target line method, underwater acoustic emission method and video photography. The target line method is a traditional burning rate measurement method. By setting target lines on the propellant strip and measuring the time to burn to each target line, the average burning rate is calculated; this method is simple to operate, but it can only obtain the average burning rate and cannot reflect the dynamic changes of combustion. Underwater acoustic emission uses the characteristics of water coating, sound conduction, and easy pressurization. The effective length of the propellant column is divided by the duration of the acoustic wave signal generated during the combustion process (that is, the combustion time) to obtain the burning rate at constant pressure and temperature. The test process is simple, fast, safe, economical, and highly accurate (water pressure saves nitrogen), but it can only obtain the average burning rate and cannot obtain the transient combustion process. The traditional video photography method uses a camera or high-speed photography to record the withdrawal process of the propellant end face in a constant pressure closed burner, and calculates the instantaneous rate. However, the propellant combustion usually produces a lot of smoke, which can easily cause the combustion flame light to decay seriously, which can easily lead to inaccurate testing and fail to obtain important parameters such as combustion temperature and temperature coefficient. The traditional method of testing the combustion temperature of propellants is mainly to bury thermocouples in the grain to test the combustion wave of the combustion process, which is complicated and costly. It can be seen that the current solid propellant test conditions cannot meet the actual situation, and more accurate, objective, practical and low-cost test methods are needed to characterize multiple combustion performance parameters of propellants. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problem that traditional propellant combustion test equipment has single function and complex burning rate temperature coefficient and combustion temperature tests, it is impossible to simultaneously obtain multiple propellant combustion performance parameters such as burning rate, pressure index, temperature coefficient test and flame temperature distribution. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-cost solid propellant combustion performance parameter test equipment within a wide temperature range. The device simulates different environmental conditions through a high-precision high and low temperature test chamber to meet the burning rate and flame temperature test of solid propellant under specific ambient temperature and specific pressure, and has simple operation and low cost.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0015] The propellant strip is ignited, and the burning rate of the solid propellant is obtained by calculating the change of the burning surface of the solid propellant over time using the flame image taken by a high-speed camera.

[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that, before the combustion test, high-pressure nitrogen is filled into the combustion chamber. When the pressure is higher than the set pressure, the PID pressure controller releases the pressure to the set value. During the combustion test, when the combustion chamber pressure is higher than the set pressure, the PID pressure controller controls the solenoid valve to release the pressure to the set pressure, thereby releasing the combustion gas while maintaining the combustion chamber pressure stable.

[0037] The combustion chamber pressure control module includes a PID pressure controller 4, a solid-state relay, a high-pressure nitrogen bottle 7, a combustion gas buffer bottle 8, an air inlet line 12, an air outlet line 13 and a solenoid valve, wherein the high-pressure nitrogen bottle 7, the combustion gas buffer bottle 8, the air inlet line 12 and the air outlet line 13 are connected to the high-pressure combustion chamber 1, the PID pressure controller 4 is connected to the solid-state relay, the solid-state relay is connected to the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is connected to the air outlet line 13. The problem of unclear combustion flames caused by the large amount of smoke produced by the combustion of the propellant is solved to a certain extent by quickly releasing the combustion gas products, while maintaining the stability of the cavity pressure.

[0038] When the pressure of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 is greater than the set value of the PID pressure controller 4, the PID pressure controller 4 energizes or de-energizes the solid-state relay, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the solenoid valve, and achieving the pressure stability of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 through high-frequency air release, while reducing combustion smoke. The pressure range of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 is 1.0-15MPa.

[0039] The electric ignition module includes a DC power supply 5, an ignition circuit and a copper electrode terminal 14. The copper electrode terminal 14 is composed of a conical copper column 19, an NPT1 / 4 stainless steel plug with a conical inner hole and a phenolic resin conical gasket. The DC power supply 5 is connected to the copper electrode terminal 14 via the ignition circuit. The conical copper column 19 is fixed to the side of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 through the external thread of the NPT1 / 4 stainless steel plug, and a phenolic resin conical gasket is arranged between the conical copper column 19 and the NPT1 / 4 stainless steel plug. The conical copper column 19 is sealed by a conical boss, and the conical copper column 19 passes through the wall of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 and is insulated from the high-pressure combustion chamber 1.

[0040] See also Figure 2 The high-pressure combustion chamber 1 includes a cavity, a high-pressure combined sealing gasket, a side boss 9 and a combustion chamber cover plate 16.

[0041] The volume of the cavity is 1.571L, the diameter is 10cm, and the height is 20cm. Four holes are opened on the left and right sides of the cavity, which are used to install the copper electrode terminal 14, the pressure sensor 15, the air inlet pipeline 12 and the air outlet pipeline 13 respectively. The pressure sensor 15 is connected to the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is connected to the PID pressure controller 4 and the solid-state relay to transmit the electrical signal to the PID pressure controller 4 for the logic control of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 to release gas. Two window covers 11 are respectively arranged at the front and back of the cavity, and a sapphire visualization window 10 is arranged above the window cover 11, and a side boss 9 is arranged above the sapphire visualization window 10. A high-speed camera 6 is arranged on one side of the window cover 11, and the high-speed camera 6 is adjusted to be parallel to the visualization window of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 to record the flame image of the combustion process. Specifically, the high-speed camera 6 observes the flame combustion state in real time through the sapphire window on the combustion chamber, records the propellant grain retreat process, and then obtains the burning rate, and can also use the graphics processing algorithm to process the flame RGB three-primary color captured by the high-speed camera 6 to obtain the flame temperature distribution. The real-time combustion state of the solid propellant and the time taken for the burning surface to move a certain distance are observed and recorded through the sapphire visualization window 10 and the high-speed camera 6.

[0042] A combustion chamber cover plate 16 is provided on the upper part of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1. The combustion chamber cover plate 16, the sapphire visualization window 10 and the window cover plate 11 are tightened by means of a high-pressure combined sealing gasket and a thread 17, so that the cavity is in a completely sealed state, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0043] The high-pressure combustion chamber 1 is arranged in a high-precision high and low temperature experimental box 3. A cylindrical sample table 2 is arranged at the center position of the bottom of the cavity of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1. Two electrodes 18 are fixed on the cylindrical sample table 2. One of the electrodes is connected to the copper electrode terminal 14 on the wall of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1. The copper electrode terminal 14 is connected to the DC power supply 5 through an ignition circuit. A nickel-chromium wire is arranged between the two electrodes for igniting the propellant.

[0044] The propellant strip is fixed on the cylindrical sample stage 2 and burns. The high-precision high and low temperature test box 3 is connected to an external refrigerator. The high-precision high and low temperature test box 3 controls the ambient temperature required by the high-pressure combustion chamber 1, which can not only achieve dynamic temperature adjustment within the range of -45 to 80°C, but also observe the combustion of the propellant in the combustion chamber.

[0045] The method for using the combustion performance parameter testing device for low-cost solid propellant within a wide temperature range as described above comprises the following steps:

[0046] In the first step, plasticizer (DOA), curing agent (IPDI), binder (HTPB), curing catalyst (TIN) and burning rate regulator (Al) are mixed evenly, poured into a mold, and prepared into a propellant strip, and the propellant strip is fixed on a cylindrical sample stage 2, and the cylindrical sample stage 2 is fixed at the bottom center of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1; then, nickel-chromium wire is wound around the two electrodes of the cylindrical sample stage 2 and contacts with the surface of the propellant strip; finally, it is blocked by a combustion chamber cover plate 16 with a sealing ring and tightened with a thread 17, and the inside of the cavity is in a completely sealed state.

[0047] The second step is to set the temperature of the high-precision high and low temperature test box 3. When the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 drops to the set temperature value, continue to refrigerate for about 1 hour to make the temperature inside and outside the cavity of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 consistent.

[0048] In the third step, the DC power supply 5 of the electric ignition module is respectively in contact with the copper electrode terminal 14 of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 and the outside of the cavity of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1.

[0049] In the fourth step, the valve of the nitrogen bottle 7 is opened, and the nitrogen enters the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 through the air intake pipe 12. The pressure sensor 15, the PID pressure controller 4 and the solenoid valve work together to make the preset pressure value in the high-pressure combustion chamber 1. Specifically, when the pressure in the high-pressure combustion chamber is greater than the PID set value, the PID pressure controller energizes the solid-state relay, thereby controlling the opening of the solenoid valve to reduce the pressure in the high-pressure combustion chamber by venting.

[0050] The fifth step is to aim the high-speed camera 6 at any visible window of the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 and adjust the high-speed camera 6 to focus it.

[0051] The sixth step is to turn on the DC power supply 5, ignite the propellant, and use the high-speed camera 6 to capture the flame image through the sapphire window 10 on the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 to record the propellant grain retreat process.

[0052] In the seventh step, when the combustion is terminated, the solenoid valve opens, and the gas in the high-pressure combustion chamber 1 reaches the combustion gas buffer bottle 8 through the gas outlet pipeline 13 and is discharged.

[0053] In the eighth step, the image of the propellant grain combustion process taken by the high-speed camera 6 is used to obtain the solid propellant burning rate by dividing the distance traveled by the grain by the time.

[0054] The ninth step is to plot the trend of the calculated burning rate versus pressure to obtain the pressure index of the propellant.

[0055] The tenth step is to plot the trend of the calculated burning rate versus temperature to obtain the burning rate temperature coefficient of the propellant.

[0056] In the eleventh step, the flame image captured by the high-speed camera 6 is processed by a graphics processing algorithm to obtain RGB three-primary colors, and then the RGB three-primary colors are used to obtain a flame temperature distribution diagram.

[0057] The present invention controls the ambient temperature of the combustion chamber and the propellant grain through a high and low temperature test chamber, and the temperature control range is -45°C to 80°C, which meets the initial temperature requirements of different environments for solid propellant burning rate testing. The end face retreat process and flame structure images of the propellant under different ambient temperatures and pressures in a closed combustion chamber are photographed by high-speed photography, and the burning rate, pressure index, temperature coefficient and flame temperature distribution of the propellant are calculated, which has the advantages of accurate testing, simple operation, low cost and high safety performance.

[0058] Moreover, the high-pressure combustion chamber of the present invention has a simple structure and a small volume. The exterior of the cavity is a cubic shape, and the interior is a hollow cylinder. The exterior is connected to the inlet and exhaust pipelines, the nitrogen bottle and the buffer bottle. The welding process is simple, and it is easy to move without complex external line valves, which saves time, labor and raw materials, and has a low manufacturing process cost.
