Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of combustion chambers, and in particular relates to a visual combustion chamber with body cooling and a rocket engine thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continued development of liquid rocket engines and the demand for high-performance, high-reliability, lightweight, and reusable engines, it is imperative to more comprehensively understand the combustion flow field parameters of liquid rocket engines. Key physical parameters include the structural characteristics of the combustion flow field, combustion chamber temperature, and pressure. Analyzing the pressure oscillations and flow characteristics within key components such as the combustion chamber, piping, and injectors can better guide engine design.

[0003] During ground testing, conventional liquid rocket engine combustion chambers are often fully enclosed, making it impossible to observe the combustion flow field structure. Understanding combustion phenomena relies primarily on indirect measurements and computational simulations, lacking intuitive and robust data. This limits in-depth understanding of combustion mechanisms and hinders the analysis and control of combustion stability. High-frequency combustion instabilities can induce large pressure oscillations, seriously threatening engine reliability. Furthermore, this makes it impossible to diagnose and prevent potential faults, increasing the difficulty of engine design optimization and limiting improvements in combustion chamber performance. Therefore, liquid rocket engine combustion chambers with visual observation windows have been developed. This allows cameras to observe the combustion flow field structure through the observation window. However, long-term use has revealed that the service life of the observation window is far shorter than that of the combustion chamber itself. This is primarily due to the high temperature of the flame affecting the observation window, significantly reducing its service life. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rocket engine combustion chamber with enhanced overall performance. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore, the propellant assembly further includes a propellant gas cavity provided in the injection panel and a propellant gas inlet provided on the outer wall of the injection panel and communicating with the propellant gas cavity, and the propellant gas film outlet channel is communicated with the propellant gas cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, a fuel nozzle is provided in the middle of the injection panel, and the propulsion gas cavity is arranged around the outer wall of the fuel nozzle.

[0015] Furthermore, the cooling gas film outlet channel and the propellant film outlet channel are strip-shaped slit channels, and the length of the strip-shaped slit channels corresponds to the end surface of the observation window.

[0016] Furthermore, the cylindrical side wall is a rectangular cylinder, the three side walls of the rectangular cylinder are provided with the observation windows, and the other side wall of the cylindrical side wall is provided with a temperature measuring hole.

[0017] Furthermore, the visual combustion chamber with body cooling further comprises a water cooling structure provided on the combustion chamber body;

[0034] As attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a visual combustion chamber with body cooling, comprising a combustion chamber body 1, an observation window 2 and a window temperature control structure;

[0035] The combustion chamber body 1 includes an injection assembly mounting wall 11, a cylindrical side wall 12, and a nozzle assembly mounting wall 13, which are arranged in sequence. The injection assembly mounting wall 11, the cylindrical side wall 12, and the nozzle assembly mounting wall 13 enclose a combustion chamber 14. The injection assembly mounting wall 11, the cylindrical side wall 12, and the nozzle assembly mounting wall 13 can be integrally formed and can be fixedly connected to each other using an assembled structure.

[0036] The observation window 2 is provided on the side wall of the cylindrical side wall 12 and is used to observe the flame combustion condition in the combustion chamber 14. Specifically, a camera can be used to continuously observe the flame combustion condition in the combustion chamber 14, which can be used to obtain data for combustion tests and to monitor the combustion condition of the combustion chamber in actual use.

[0037] The window temperature control structure includes a cooling air component 3 and a propellant component 42. The cooling air component 3 includes a cooling air film outlet channel 33. The cooling air film outlet channel 33 is arranged toward the observation window 2 close to the injection component mounting wall 11. The end of the observation window 2 close to the injection component mounting wall 11 is the upstream end, and the end close to the nozzle assembly mounting wall 13 is the upstream end. The cooling air film outlet channel 33 is used to spray a cooling air film from the upstream end of the observation window 2 to the inner wall of the observation window 2 for temperature control. Specifically, the cooling air film is used to directly dissipate heat to the inner wall of the observation window 2 on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can isolate the high-temperature flame in the combustion chamber 14 from the observation window 2, so as to ensure the temperature of the observation window 2, realize effective thermal protection of the observation window 2, and thereby improve the overall structural performance of the combustion chamber. The propellant component 42 includes a cooling air film outlet channel 33 arranged at the cooling air film outlet channel 33. Inside the nozzle channel 33, the propellant film outlet channel 423, along with the cooling air film outlet channel 33 and the observation window 2, is arranged sequentially from the inside out. The propellant film outlet channel 423 is used to eject a propellant film to assist the flame combustion within the combustion chamber 14. It also forms a double-layered film with the cooling air film, assisting the cooling air film in temperature control of the inner wall of the observation window 2. This propellant film not only promotes further flame combustion and improves combustion efficiency, but also forms a double-layered film with the cooling air film, increasing the distance the cooling air film flows along the inner wall of the observation window 2, ensuring effective temperature control of the observation window 2 from the injection assembly mounting wall 11 to the nozzle assembly mounting wall 13. It also isolates the high-temperature flame within the combustion chamber 14 from the cooling air film, further isolating the high-temperature flame within the combustion chamber 14 from the observation window 2. As the propellant film develops downstream, the propellant diffuses toward the center of the combustion chamber 14, promoting flame combustion.

[0038] That is, the visual combustion chamber with body cooling provided by the present invention can significantly reduce the temperature of the observation window 2 on the basis of improving the flame combustion effect in the combustion chamber 14 through the structural design of the cooling gas film outlet channel 33 and the propellant gas film outlet channel 423. On the one hand, it solves the problem that the current observation window 2 is not resistant to high temperatures and is easily damaged by the high temperature in the combustion chamber 14, affecting the overall performance of the combustion chamber. On the other hand, it also solves the problem that the current cooling gas generally uses inert gas that does not participate in the combustion reaction, which causes the inert gas to enter the combustion chamber 14 and affect the flame combustion. Specifically, the cooling air film ejected from the cooling air film outlet channel 33 is used to directly dissipate heat to the inner wall of the observation window 2 on the one hand, and can isolate the high-temperature flame in the combustion chamber 14 from the observation window 2 on the other hand, thereby ensuring the temperature of the observation window 2, achieving effective thermal protection for the observation window 2, and thereby improving the overall structural performance of the combustion chamber body 1; the propellant air film ejected from the propellant air film outlet channel 423 can, on the one hand, promote further combustion of the flame and improve combustion efficiency, and on the other hand, can form a double-layer air film with the cooling air film, that is, it is used to increase the flow distance of the cooling air film along the inner wall surface of the observation window 2, ensure the temperature control effect of the observation window 2 at various locations in the direction from the injection assembly mounting wall 11 to the nozzle assembly mounting wall 13, and can isolate the high-temperature flame in the combustion chamber 14 from the cooling air film, and further isolate the high-temperature flame in the combustion chamber 14 from the observation window 2.

[0039] In one embodiment, an injection assembly mounting groove 111 is provided on the injection assembly mounting wall 11, and an injection panel 4 is provided on the injection assembly mounting groove 111. The injection panel 4 includes a limiting portion 44 and a fitting portion 43 connected to each other, wherein the limiting portion 44 abuts against the end surface of the injection assembly mounting wall 11, and the fitting portion 43 is fitted into the injection assembly mounting groove 111. In addition, the injection panel 4 also includes a fuel nozzle 41 that passes through both ends of the fitting portion 43 and the limiting portion 44. The fuel nozzle 41 communicates with the combustion chamber 14 and the outer wall of the injection panel 4. In addition, a propellant assembly 42 is also provided on the injection panel 4.

[0040] The cooling air component 3 also includes a cooling air cavity 32 provided on the inner wall of the injection component mounting groove 111 and a cooling air inlet 31 provided on the outer wall of the combustion chamber body 1 and communicating with the cooling air cavity 32. The cooling air film outlet channel 33 is communicated with the cooling air cavity 32, wherein the cooling air inlet 31 is used to connect to the cooling air input pipeline to supply air to the cooling air cavity 32, and the cooling air cavity 32 is used to accommodate cooling air and to evenly transport cooling air to the cooling air film outlet channel 33;

[0041] There is a gap between the outer wall end of the interlocking portion 43 and the upstream end face of the observation window 2, and the gap forms the cooling air film outlet channel 33. At this time, the cooling air film outlet channel 33 starts to spray directly from the end face of the observation window 2, so that the cooling air film can flow downstream close to the inner wall face of the observation window 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cooling gas film outlet channel 33 does not need to be processed separately, but is formed by the cooperation of the injection panel 4 and the injection component mounting groove 111. This can simplify the processing difficulty and is directly formed after the injection panel 4 is installed in the injection component mounting groove 111. In addition, it can also improve the temperature control effect of the cooling gas film on the injection panel 4.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cooling air cavity 32 includes a circular channel 321 provided in the injection panel 4 and a flare 322 connected to the side wall of the circular channel 321. One side of the flare 322 abuts against the outer wall of the fitting portion 43, and the other side abuts against the upstream end face of the observation window 2. The circular channel 321, the flare 322, the outer wall of the fitting portion 43 and the upstream end face of the observation window 2 are combined to form the cooling air cavity 32. In this embodiment, there is no need to provide a closed cooling air channel in the injection panel 4. An open structure is used for easy processing. The cooling air cavity 32 is directly formed after the observation window 2 and the injection panel 4 are installed. In addition, in this embodiment, the cooling air can also be cooled when it contacts the upstream end face of the observation window 2, further ensuring the temperature control effect of the observation window 2.

[0044] In one embodiment, the propellant assembly 42 further includes a propellant gas cavity 422 disposed within the injection panel 4 and a propellant gas inlet 421 disposed on the outer wall of the injection panel 4 and connected to the propellant gas cavity 422. The propellant gas film outlet channel 423 is connected to the propellant gas cavity 422. The propellant gas inlet 421 is used to connect to a propellant gas input pipeline. After passing through the propellant gas cavity 422, the propellant gas is evenly ejected from the propellant gas film outlet channel 423 to form a uniform gas film.

[0045] In one embodiment, a fuel nozzle 41 is provided in the middle of the injection panel 4, and the propellant gas cavity 422 is arranged around the outer wall of the fuel nozzle 41, so that when there are multiple observation windows 2, one propellant gas cavity 422 can be used to supply gas to multiple propellant gas film outlet channels 423.

[0046] In one embodiment, the cooling gas film outlet channel 33 and the propellant film outlet channel 423 are strip slit channels, and the length of the strip slit channels corresponds to the end surface of the observation window 2, that is, the cooling gas film and the propellant film are both planar films with the same width as the observation window 2, further ensuring the temperature control effect on the observation window 2.

[0047] In one embodiment, the cylindrical side wall 12 is a rectangular cylinder, and the observation windows 2 are provided on the three side walls of the rectangular cylinder, and a temperature measuring hole 122 is provided on the side wall of another cylindrical side wall 12. In this embodiment, the three observation windows 2 enable observation of the flame combustion condition in the combustion chamber 14 from multiple directions, and the other side wall without the observation window 2 is provided with the temperature measuring hole 122 for installing a temperature sensor, which can avoid the double-layer air film affecting the temperature measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor and ensure the accuracy of the temperature measurement. Preferably, a plurality of temperature measuring holes 122 are arranged at equal intervals along the direction from the injection assembly mounting wall 11 to the nozzle assembly mounting wall 13, so as to monitor the temperature of different positions of the flame.
