Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the flow regulation of solid ramjet engines, in order to achieve precise control, it is crucial to carry out cold flow calibration tests on the throat area of ​​electric valves used in solid ramjet engines. At present, cold flow calibration test devices are generally designed for test needs and are not universal. Considering the configuration characteristics of the oxygen-depleted fuel gas energy supply system of solid ramjet engines, there are few dynamic actuation cold flow calibration test devices for different electric valve adjustment actuation modes, and it is impossible to achieve electric actuation during the valve cold flow calibration process, and it is impossible to obtain the flow coefficient of the throat area when the electric valve is working.

[0003] Chinese patent CN117969105A discloses a rotary orbit controlled jet cold flow test device, which realizes nozzle thrust vector control by controlling the switch jet mechanism through a solenoid valve and a nozzle. Its advantages are that it can realize "switch type" nozzle area control and complete the rapid opening and closing of the nozzle, but its disadvantage is that it cannot realize continuous actuation adjustment of the nozzle throat area during the cold flow test, and cannot complete the dynamic actuation cold flow calibration test of the adjustment section.

[0004] Chinese patent CN115013188A discloses a modular sub-assembly solid rocket engine test bench device and a cold flow test method. The advantage is that each module can be freely disassembled and replaced by bolt connections, but the disadvantage is that the flow regulating section is only a two-dimensional simplified configuration, and the specific configuration of the flow regulating section cannot be simulated. In addition, the throat area is fixed, and only one throat area can be used to complete the cold flow test at a time, and the dynamic actuation cold flow calibration test of the regulating section cannot be completed. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, improve the accuracy of cold flow calibration of electric valves, and improve the availability and application scope of cold flow test devices for electric valves.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] The output end of the servo motor is connected to the input end of the reducer, and the output end of the reducer is connected to the valve core through a coupling. The output torque of the servo motor acts on the valve core after being decelerated by the reducer to drive the valve to work.

[0012] A calibration test method based on the above-mentioned electric valve cold flow calibration test device comprises:

[0013] Build a Schlieren optical path system to obtain the gas flow law in the internal flow field at the observation window, turn on the servo motor and reducer, input control instructions to adjust the valve core to the specified working position, turn on the pressure sensor and thrust sensor, turn on the gas supply system flow collector, open the gas supply system valve, and close the gas supply system valve after the gas enters a stable flow state;

[0014] After the test, the internal flow field pressure P collected when the test system was working was obtained. c , Gas supply system flow The following calculation can be used to obtain the pneumatic throat area A of the electric valve under the cold flow test: t ,

[0015]

[0016] Among them C * is a fixed gas parameter, which is determined by the gas used in the cold flow calibration test; the pneumatic throat area A of the electric valve tThe cold flow experimental values ​​were compared with the theoretical design values ​​to obtain the flow coefficient of the throat area of ​​the electric valve.
