[0018] The circumferential flame stabilizer in the aircraft engine is arranged in the inner part, and the inner part gas has a higher temperature. Based on this, the present application provides a circumferential flame stabilizer in the aircraft engine, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0019] The circumferential flame stabilizer in the aircraft engine comprises a U-shaped outer groove 1, a U-shaped inner groove 2, a U-shaped outer duct baffle 3, a support plate nut 4, and a tail plate 5.

[0021] The U-shaped inner groove 2 is arranged in the U-shaped outer groove 1, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0022] There are two U-shaped outer culvert gas baffles 3, which are connected between the inner side of the U-shaped outer groove 1 and the outer side of the U-shaped inner groove 2, and can be specifically connected by welding. An inner gas flow channel is formed between the two U-shaped baffles 3, and the inner gas flow channel is connected to the inner gas flow inlet.

[0023] There are two pairs of support plate nuts 4, which are connected to the inner side of the U-shaped outer groove 1 and distributed on the outer sides of the two U-shaped outer air duct baffles 3, and cooperate with bolts to connect the U-shaped inner groove 2 to the inner side of the U-shaped outer groove 1.
