[0002] With the development of rocket engine technology, the requirements for various test functions and success rates of hydrogen-oxygen engines are getting higher and higher. In terms of test function requirements, it is necessary to supply propellant media, which include: liquid hydrogen propellant and liquid oxygen propellant; and before, during and after the hydrogen-oxygen engine test, a large amount of gas medium needs to be supplied to the hydrogen-oxygen engine and the propellant supply system to ensure the smooth progress of the engine test and effective post-test processing. However, the existing hydrogen-oxygen engine supplies a single gas medium in different test stages. When the single gas medium is helium, the hydrogen-oxygen engine test requires huge costs; when the single gas medium is nitrogen, because the liquefaction point temperature of nitrogen is higher than the liquefaction point temperature of liquid hydrogen, nitrogen cannot effectively complete the full-process test gas distribution work of the hydrogen-oxygen engine.

[0085] The first nitrogen supply structure 1 is suitable for providing nitrogen, and the first nitrogen supply structure 1 can be a nitrogen bottle to provide nitrogen at room temperature. One end of the first nitrogen supply pipeline 41 is connected to the other end of the third pressure reducer 50 through the fourth valve 48, and the other end of the first nitrogen supply pipeline 41 is connected to the hydrogen-oxygen engine 9. One end of the second nitrogen supply pipeline 43 is connected to the other end of the third pressure reducer 50, and the other end of the second nitrogen supply pipeline 43 is connected to the hydrogen-oxygen engine 9 through the fifth valve 49; and a heater 42 is provided on the second nitrogen supply pipeline 43, and the heater 42 is suitable for heating nitrogen. The pipeline between the first nitrogen supply pipeline 41 and the hydrogen-oxygen engine 9 and the pipeline between the third valve 47 and the hydrogen-oxygen engine 9 can share a pipeline to reduce costs. In the case of the above-mentioned shared pipeline, a second check valve 54 must be set on the pipeline before the first nitrogen supply pipeline 41 merges into the shared pipeline, and a first check valve 53 must be set on the pipeline before the pipeline involving the first helium supply structure 15 providing helium merges into the shared pipeline.

When the pipeline to be air-sealed is the discharge port of the propellant pipeline, the gas source continuously supplies air-sealing gas, so that the discharge port of the propellant pipeline can continuously discharge air-sealing gas, thereby preventing air from entering the propellant pipeline during the process of stopping the discharge of the propellant, which has an adverse effect on the propellant pipeline. Since there is generally flammable gas in the propellant pipeline or the propellant pipeline is a low-temperature pipeline, the adverse effects include: ice in the propellant pipeline or the formation of an explosive mixture of air and flammable gas. The number of air-sealing pipelines is based on the demand for the number of air seals for the pipeline to be air-sealed, and a certain number of air-sealing pipelines can be appropriately reserved. Specifically, a plurality of parallel first air-sealing pipelines 8 are connected to the first extruded gas supply structure 23 through a pressure reducer, and the hydrogen of the first extruded gas supply structure 23 is generally used to air-seal the liquid hydrogen discharge pipeline. A plurality of parallel second air-sealing pipelines 14 are connected to the second extruded gas supply structure 10, and the nitrogen of the second extruded gas supply structure 10 is generally used to air-seal the liquid oxygen discharge pipeline. A plurality of parallel third air-sealing pipelines are connected to the first helium supply structure 15, and the helium of the first helium supply structure 15 is generally used to air-seal the liquid hydrogen or hydrogen discharge pipeline.

A gas source supply switch 22 and a gas source conversion switch 20, nitrogen is provided by a second nitrogen supply structure 37 to achieve a replacement state in which nitrogen replaces the air in the pipeline of the liquid hydrogen extrusion gas supply subsystem 2; and after the nitrogen replaces the air in the pipeline of the liquid hydrogen extrusion gas supply subsystem 2, the first gas source supply switch 22 and the gas source conversion switch 20 are first closed, and then the gas release manual valve 21 is opened, and then the second gas source supply switch 24 is opened, and the liquid hydrogen extrusion gas supply subsystem 2 provides the liquid hydrogen storage tank 11 with the first extrusion gas hydrogen supply state. Before the liquid hydrogen extrusion gas supply subsystem 2 provides hydrogen to the liquid hydrogen tank 11, the present application replaces the air in the pipeline of the liquid hydrogen extrusion gas supply subsystem 2 with nitrogen to avoid direct use of hydrogen and bring safety risks; and by closing the first gas source supply switch 22 and the gas source conversion switch 20, and opening the gas release manual valve 21, the pipeline between the first gas source supply switch 22 and the gas source conversion switch 20 is emptied, which can effectively isolate hydrogen and nitrogen, avoid nitrogen and hydrogen from contaminating each other, and cause safety hazards. One end of the multiple control gas supply pipelines 13 is connected to the second nitrogen supply structure 37 through a pressure reducer. The plurality of control valve boxes 12 are respectively connected to the plurality of control gas supply pipelines 13, and the control valve boxes 12 are respectively connected to the control ends of the plurality of pneumatic valves through the plurality of solenoid valves suitable for remote control; the control valve box 12 is suitable for inputting nitrogen to the control end of the corresponding pneumatic valve when the remote control solenoid valve is opened, and opening the corresponding pneumatic valve, and when the remote control solenoid valve is closed, nitrogen is not input to the control end of the corresponding pneumatic valve, and the corresponding pneumatic valve is closed.
