Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aerospace propulsion, and in particular relates to an embedded parallel solid fuel-liquid oxidant hybrid engine. Background Art

[0002] A typical solid-liquid hybrid rocket engine is a power system that uses solid fuel and liquid oxidizer as propellants. It has the advantages of good safety, easy thrust adjustment, easy shutdown and restart, high propellant energy, good environmental protection, good grain stability, low temperature sensitivity, and good economy. It has good application prospects in the power devices of sounding rockets, small launch vehicles, targets and missiles, suborbital vehicles and manned spacecraft, boosters and upper stages, and attitude and orbit control systems.

[0003] Existing solid-liquid hybrid engines usually use liquid oxidizers to be injected from the engine head, which enter the combustion chamber after catalytic decomposition in the catalytic bed and burn violently with the solid powder column, generating high-temperature combustion gas that is discharged from the nozzle to generate thrust. Based on this structural arrangement and working mode, the oxidizer is highly concentrated in the combustion chamber head and gradually decreases toward the nozzle, resulting in low combustion efficiency, poor uniformity, and unstable combustion. At the same time, the uneven combustion causes uneven heating in the combustion chamber, which increases the difficulty of thermal protection and further restricts the widespread application of solid-liquid hybrid rocket engines. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems of complex system structure, low combustion efficiency, poor uniformity and unstable combustion in existing solid-liquid hybrid engines, the present invention provides an embedded parallel solid fuel-liquid oxidant hybrid engine. The specific technology is as follows:

[0005] An embedded parallel solid fuel-liquid oxidant hybrid engine comprises an oxidant delivery-injection integrated device, a front head, a solid fuel with a shell, a nozzle and an ignition device;

[0006] One side of the front head is connected to the oxidant delivery-injection integrated device with screws, and the other side is connected to the solid fuel with shell;

[0007] One side of the front head is connected to the oxidant delivery-injection integrated device with screws, and the other side is connected to the solid fuel with a shell; the front head is provided with a first sealing groove; the first sealing groove is provided with a first sealing ring; the combustion chamber shell is provided with a second sealing groove; the second sealing groove is provided with a second sealing ring; the front head improves the sealing performance between the oxidant delivery-injection integrated device through the first sealing ring, and improves the sealing performance between the front head and the solid fuel with a shell through the second sealing ring.

[0008] The oxidant delivery-injection integrated device comprises an oxidant delivery pipeline and an oxidant injection port.

[0009] The oxidant conveying-injection integrated device is buried inside the solid fuel and forms a parallel structure with the combustion chamber shell.

[0010] The oxidant conveying-injection integrated device is bonded to the solid fuel via a lining.

[0011] The outer surface of the integrated oxidant delivery-injection device has the oxidant delivery-injection integrated device body insulation material.

[0012] The oxidant injection ports are distributed along the axial direction, and each axial oxidant injection port is evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, so as to realize graded injection of the oxidant.

[0013] The solid fuel with shell includes a combustion chamber shell, solid fuel and a shell insulation layer.

[0014] The solid fuel burns in a self-sustaining manner in an end-burning form, and the fuel-rich combustion gas generated by the combustion is efficiently mixed with the oxidant injected in stages from the oxidant injection port and then secondary burned.

[0015] The solid fuel is a high-pressure exponential propellant capable of self-sustaining combustion, and the pressure exponent is between 0.6 and 0.75.

[0016] The ignition device is arranged on the end surface of the solid fuel; the ignition device is a conventional ignition device or a flexible ignition layer.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] (1) The integrated oxidant delivery and injection device can place the transport and injection module of the oxidant supply system inside the combustion chamber and form a parallel structure with the combustion chamber, so that the primary combustion of solid fuel and the secondary combustion of fuel gas-oxidant can be completed in a single combustion chamber, greatly reducing the size and weight of the engine structure;

[0019] (2) Based on the parallel structure of the integrated oxidant delivery-injection device and the combustion chamber, the oxidant absorbs heat and vaporizes in the built-in pipeline, and is sprayed and atomized in the center of the combustion chamber, which can effectively improve the atomization and mixing effects, and provide powerful conditions for the efficient and uniform combustion of the fuel-rich gas and the oxidant, thereby improving the energy release efficiency of the engine;

[0020] (3) The solid fuel is a high-pressure exponential fuel-rich propellant that can self-sustain combustion. The combustion rate can be adjusted over a wide range as the combustion chamber pressure changes. The fuel burning rate can be adjusted by changing the oxidizer flow rate, thereby achieving engine thrust regulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
