[0021] The present invention relates to a ramjet engine, and mainly to a connection structure of inner and outer covers of an air intake duct in a ramjet engine. For the air intake duct of a ramjet engine, the air intake duct is generally divided into an inner cover, an outer cover and a tail cover. To ensure the normal operation of the ramjet engine, the connection between the inner cover and the outer cover needs to be stable and reliable, and the relative position remains fixed, so the connection structure design between the inner and outer covers is very important for the normal operation of the ramjet engine.
[0022] The invention patent of this invention provides a new type of split support plate connection structure, which can be mainly used for the connection of the inner and outer covers of the ramjet engine air intake. The split support plate connection can greatly improve the connection strength of the inner and outer covers of the air intake. The support plate structure adopts a split design. In order to improve the connection strength, a bolt connection structure is designed at the rear end of the support plate. The combination of the two connection methods further improves the connection strength between the inner and outer covers of the air intake. And based on the split support plate staggered connection method, the front and rear support plates are staggered after installation, which limits the relative displacement between the inner and outer covers and plays a limiting role.
[0023] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in combination with the embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the obtained embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] The present invention discloses a device for connecting inner and outer covers of a ramjet engine afterburning intake duct. The device is fixed by a circumferential support plate. The support plate adopts a split structure, including a front section of the support plate and a rear section of the support plate. The inner and outer covers of the intake duct are staggered by the support plate structure. The support plate structure combined with the positioning bolts of the rear half of the support plate can limit the mutual displacement of the inner and outer covers, and play a limiting function. The rear section of the support plate is integrally formed with the inner cover, and a leakage hole is provided at the center of the support plate, and a bolt hole is provided on the rear side of the support plate. The bolts on the bolt holes play a positioning function and are not subject to shear force when the engine is working. The front section of the support plate is integrally formed with the outer cover, and a leakage hole and a bolt hole are provided at the rear. The split support plate structure is willow-leaf-shaped, and each support plate is positioned and fastened to the outer cover by radial bolts. The leakage hole is set as a runway shape, and when the engine is working, the front intake can be discharged from the rear end of the support plate. The intake duct outer cover and the rear section of the support plate are connected by bolts, which play a positioning and auxiliary connection role. The patented structure of the present invention is simple and easy to implement. The support plate design adopts a new split structure, combined with a bolt connection structure, which effectively improves the connection strength between the inner and outer covers of the air intake duct and ensures a stable connection between the inner and outer covers. Compared with the one-piece support plate connection, the main stress point of the one-piece support plate when the engine is working is the bolts between the support plates. The bolts are subject to strong shear force and are easy to break. The main stress point of the split support plate when the engine is working is the connection surface between the split support plates. The bolts at the back mainly play a positioning function, and the connection is more stable.
[0025] According to the characteristics of the ramjet engine air intake, the present invention comprehensively considers the appearance and stress characteristics of the ramjet engine air intake inner cover and the air intake outer cover, and designs a support plate structure with stronger connection structure strength. The support plate structure is mainly used to connect the ramjet engine air intake outer cover and the inner cover. Different from the previous integrated support plate structure, the support plate structure of the present invention adopts a split design. The front half of the support plate is integrally formed with the outer cover, and the rear half of the support plate is integrally formed with the inner cover. The rear half is designed with oblique flow holes and bolt connection structure. The support plate structure and the bolt connection structure are used together to connect the inner and outer covers, further improving the structural strength of the support plate connection and improving the safety of the inner and outer cover connection. In addition, the split support plate connection method adopts a staggered installation method, and the inner and outer covers restrict displacement from each other, which plays a limiting function.
[0026] The split support plate adopted by the present invention has the main stress-bearing part being the connection surface of the split support plate when the ramjet engine is working, with a large stress-bearing range, small stress, and a relatively stable connection structure. The bolt connection structure at the rear end mainly plays a positioning and auxiliary connection role, and is subjected to small stress. The tail bolts of the split support plate are more subjected to the circumferential positioning force when working, avoiding the shear force in the axial direction.
[0027] The engine inlet profile includes an inner cover profile and an outer cover profile, wherein the inner cover profile is divided into several parts including a compression section, a throat isolation section and a diffuser section, and the outer cover profile is divided into several parts including a compression section, a throat isolation section and a diffuser section.
[0028] The inner and outer covers of the air inlet duct are connected by a combination of support plates and bolts. The inner and outer covers are staggered and installed by support plate connection, which plays a connecting role and a limiting function at the same time. At the same time, bolts are used for lateral connection. The bolt connection plays a positioning and auxiliary connection role, meeting the safety design requirements.
[0029] When assembling the inner and outer covers, the main assembly method is staggered installation. The inner and outer covers are first moved axially, and then moved to the specified position, and then rotated circumferentially to the specified position. The split support plate is staggered and fixed, and the bolts at the rear end of the support plate are used for positioning and fixing.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the engine air intake consists of an inner cover and an outer cover. The inner and outer covers are fixed by a circumferential support plate. The support plate adopts a split structure, with the rear half integrated with the inner cover and the front half integrated with the outer cover. The support plate is in the shape of a willow leaf, and each support plate is fastened to the outer cover by radial bolts. A leakage hole is set on the compression surface section of the inner cover. The air intake is located at the tail of the combustion chamber and intakes air from the small end of the diffuser section.
[0031] The inner cover diagram is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the rear section of the support plate is integrally formed with the inner cover. There is a drain hole in the center of the support plate and a bolt hole on the rear side of the support plate. The cross-sectional view of the inner cover is as shown in Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the outer cover is shown in Figure 4 As shown, the front section of the support plate is integrally formed with the outer cover, and there are drainage holes and bolt holes at the back. The cross-sectional view of the outer cover is shown in Figure 5 In order to increase the bearing capacity of the inner and outer covers, the support plate adopts a split structure, and the rear half is formed integrally with the inner cover. The strength of the support plate is checked according to the design of the engine intake duct. The stress at the joint of the support plate is within the pressure range and meets the use requirements. Figure 6 The leakage hole is runway type, and the air inlet cover and the rear half of the support plate are connected with M6 bolts.
[0032] The present invention is intended to be applied on a tester, and the test results are awaiting verification. According to the simulation results, the invention has a complete structure and strong high-pressure resistance. The split support plate not only fixes the inner and outer covers, but also plays a fixed and limited role because of its staggered installation method. It is suitable for promotion and application in the ramjet engine intake structure.
[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the embodiments of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the embodiments of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
