Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cooling the air intake of an aero-engine, and in particular relates to a device and a method for improving the jet precooling heat exchange effect by introducing a jet flow. Background Art
[0002] Hypersonic vehicles have become one of the technological commanding heights in the field of aerospace, and high-speed aircraft engines are the key to achieving high Mach number flight for hypersonic vehicles. At present, aviation turbine engines mainly operate at flight Mach numbers of 0 to 2, and subsonic ramjet engines mainly operate at flight Mach numbers of 3 to 6. It can be seen that any single engine cannot meet the power requirements from low speed to hypersonic speed.
[0003] To this end, the concept of combining aviation turbine engines and ramjet engines to form a parallel engine (Turbine Based Combined Cycle, TBCC for short) was proposed. Although the TBCC engine technically integrates the advantages of aviation turbine engines and ramjet engines in their respective flight Mach ranges, how to achieve the high Mach conversion point of aviation turbine engines and ramjet engines under the condition of flow matching has become the main problem of aviation turbine engines at present.
[0004] At present, there are still defects in the continuity of the TBCC engine's mode conversion process, and it is necessary to improve the working upper limit of the aviation turbine engine to achieve smooth mode conversion. Currently, pre-cooling the incoming air of the aviation turbine engine, that is, by injecting cooling medium into the inlet duct and using the phase change heat absorption of the cooling medium to achieve air jet pre-cooling, is one of the effective means to improve the upper limit of the working performance of the aviation turbine engine.
[0005] At present, in order to achieve jet pre-cooling, it is usually necessary to set up multiple jet brackets with jet nozzles in the air inlet duct, but the jet bracket will also produce an obstruction effect. This obstruction will directly cause the loss of air pressure and air stagnation, resulting in the incoming air to produce a low-speed and high-temperature narrow tail at the tail of the jet bracket, which is obviously unfavorable to the effect of jet pre-cooling.
[0006] In addition, the droplet size of the jet nozzle is small, so the droplet has better followability, but this will cause the droplet to have a smaller spanwise velocity after being sprayed into the inlet duct, resulting in poor cooling uniformity. Since the traditional jet bracket does not consider measures to increase the penetration distance of the droplets between brackets, the traditional jet bracket still has obvious deficiencies in dealing with air flow loss and heat exchange uniformity. In addition, the stagnation point on the windward side of the traditional jet bracket will form high temperature under the effect of obstruction, and this high temperature will also affect the service life and reliability of the jet bracket. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the jet bracket to improve the jet precooling effect. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a device and method for improving the jet precooling heat exchange effect by introducing an inflow, based on an airfoil jet bracket, adopting an inflow introduction technology, and arranging a leading edge opening at a stagnation point on the windward surface of the airfoil jet bracket to achieve a significant reduction in the windward area of the airfoil jet bracket, effectively avoiding the loss of air pressure and air stagnation, and can introduce the high-speed airflow at the leading edge of the airfoil jet bracket into the cooling channel, and further cool the high-speed airflow with the help of cooling fins in the cooling channel, and the cooled high-speed airflow can be respectively guided to the two sides and the trailing edge of the airfoil jet bracket through three-way diversion; for the airflow from the airfoil jet bracket The airflow ejected from both sides of the flow bracket will be ejected perpendicular to the side wall of the bracket. The jet will effectively increase the spanwise velocity of the jet droplets, thereby effectively enhancing the diffusion uniformity of the droplets. The droplets ejected in opposite directions between adjacent airfoil jet brackets will collide due to the increase in spanwise velocity, thereby achieving a further reduction in droplet size through high-speed collisions between droplets. The further reduction in droplet size can effectively improve the effect of jet precooling. For the airflow ejected from the trailing edge of the airfoil jet bracket, the backflow at the trailing edge can be effectively reduced, further suppressing the generation of uneven wakes, which has a significant improvement effect on reducing bracket resistance and improving temperature distribution uniformity.
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a device for improving the jet pre-cooling heat exchange effect by introducing an incoming flow, comprising an airfoil jet bracket and an air inlet duct, wherein the number of the airfoil jet brackets is several, and the several airfoil jet brackets are evenly arranged in a straight line in the air inlet duct; both ends of the airfoil jet bracket in the span direction are fixedly connected to the air inlet duct by bolt fastening assemblies, a cooling medium channel is opened inside the airfoil jet bracket, and a plurality of jet nozzles are distributed on the two side walls of the airfoil jet bracket, and the jet nozzles are connected to the cooling medium channel; a cooling medium inlet is arranged at the span-wise end of the airfoil jet bracket, and the cooling medium inlet is connected to the cooling medium channel; an introduced incoming flow structure is arranged on the airfoil jet bracket.

[0012] The cooling fins are distributed in an evenly spaced and staggered order in the cooling channel along the chord length direction of the airfoil-shaped jet support.
[0013] The upper and lower ends of the cooling fin are connected to the airfoil jet support through a spring, and the cooling fin has a rotational freedom around the central axis of the spring.
[0014] A lateral flow regulating diverter plate is arranged on the air inlet side of the jet side channel, a lateral flow regulating motor is arranged on the spanwise end of the airfoil jet bracket, and a motor shaft of the lateral flow regulating motor is connected to the lateral flow regulating diverter plate.
