Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fuel cross-transfer device and a fuel system of an auxiliary power device equipped with the fuel cross-transfer device. Background Art

[0002] In the initial stage of starting the aircraft's auxiliary power unit (hereinafter referred to as APU), the fuel distribution valve is closed and fuel is supplied from the main fuel pipe. When the fuel supply pressure reaches the opening pressure of the distribution valve, the distribution valve opens, and the main fuel pipe and the auxiliary fuel pipe supply fuel at the same time. However, when the distribution valve is opened, since there is no fuel in the auxiliary fuel pipe initially, it takes a certain amount of time to build up the fuel pressure, and the main fuel pipe also drops in pressure instantly due to the fuel supply from the auxiliary fuel pipe, resulting in a decrease in fuel supply pressure and flow, a reduction in atomization effect, and possible flameout, resulting in a start failure, affecting the start reliability.

[0003] As mentioned above, the existing APU fuel system pipeline design has only one fuel distribution valve to control the fuel supply of the main fuel line and the auxiliary fuel line. When the auxiliary fuel line is opened, it is easy to cause the fuel pressure of the main fuel line to drop instantly, affecting the fuel supply and atomization effect of the main fuel line. In addition, the empty path of the auxiliary fuel manifold before starting can easily cause the APU to fail to start, especially in the harsh high-altitude starting environment.

In addition, in each figure, in order to facilitate the understanding of the content of the present invention, the size and shape are sometimes partially exaggerated. In addition, in the following specific description, directional terms such as "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "horizontal" and the like are used for illustrative purposes and are not restrictive.

[0064] (First Embodiment)

[0065] First, refer to Figures 1 to 5The structure of the fuel delivery device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0066] Figure 1 1 is a diagram showing the piping structure of the fuel system of the auxiliary power unit equipped with the fuel cross-transfer device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary power unit fuel system 1 mainly includes: a fuel module 10, a combustion chamber 20, a fuel nozzle 30, a main fuel pipe 40, an auxiliary fuel pipe 50 and a fuel cross-transfer device 60.

[0067] The fuel module 10 is used to supply fuel. The fuel supplied from the fuel module 10 is supplied to the fuel nozzle 30 via the main fuel pipe 40 and the auxiliary fuel pipe 50, and then burns in the combustion chamber 20 through the fuel nozzle 30 to provide power. Figure 1 As indicated by the arrow in .

[0068] The main fuel pipe 40 forms a main fuel circuit, and the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 forms an auxiliary fuel circuit. The fuel cross-transfer device 60 is connected between the main fuel pipe 40 and the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 .

[0069] Regarding the structure of the fuel transfer device 60, Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes a fuel transfer chamber 61, a main fuel pipe 62, an auxiliary fuel pipe 63, a cover 64, a slider pipe 65, a one-way valve 66, an elastic member 67, at least one accumulator 68, and a shell 69.

[0070] The housing 69 is formed as a sealed housing and has a peripheral wall portion 691, a first bottom plate 692 close to the upstream side of the fuel flow path, and a second bottom plate 693 close to the downstream side of the fuel flow path.

[0071] The main fuel passage 62 is disposed between the peripheral wall portion 691 of the housing 69 and the main fuel pipe 40, and connects the fuel exchange chamber 61 disposed inside the housing 69 with the main fuel pipe 40. The auxiliary fuel passage 63 is disposed between the peripheral wall portion 691 of the housing 69 and the auxiliary fuel pipe 50, and connects the fuel exchange chamber 61 disposed inside the housing 69 with the auxiliary fuel pipe 50.

[0072] The cover 64 is formed in a bottomed hollow cylindrical shape and has a bottom 641 and a wall portion 642. The cover 64 is provided at a position in the fuel delivery chamber 61 opposite to the main fuel passage 62 by means of a mounting member (not shown). The opening of the cover 64 is aligned with the opening of the main fuel passage 62, and the inner diameter of the cover 64 is consistent with the inner diameter of the main fuel passage 62. In addition, a gap S is provided between the opening of the cover 64 and the peripheral wall portion 691 of the housing 69.

[0073] The structure of the slider through pipe 65 is as follows Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1 , the slider through-tube 65 is formed into a hollow cylinder with a bottom, and has a cylinder bottom 651, a cylinder wall 652, and at least one through-hole 653, and the through-hole 653 penetrates the cylinder wall 652. The outer diameter of the slider through-tube 65 is substantially consistent with the inner diameter of the slider through-tube 65 and the inner diameter of the main fuel through-tube 62, and the slider through-tube 65 is arranged inside the cover 64 and the main fuel through-tube 62 in a manner that it can slide between the cover 64 and the main fuel through-tube 62. The position of the through-hole 653 is arranged so that when the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40 decreases due to the opening of the auxiliary fuel pipe, the through-hole 653 is exposed from the cover 64 under the force of the elastic member 67, and communicates with the fuel transfer chamber 61 through the gap S between the opening of the cover 64 and the peripheral wall 691 of the housing 69.

[0074] The elastic member 67 is disposed in the housing 64 , one end of which is connected to the bottom 641 of the housing 64 , and the other end of which is connected to the bottom 651 of the slider through-tube 65 .

[0075] The cover 64 , the slider through-tube 65 , and the elastic member 67 together constitute an oil replenishing mechanism.

[0076] Regarding the structure of the pressure accumulator 68, in this embodiment, an example is given in which one pressure accumulator is provided on the first bottom plate 692 side and one pressure accumulator is provided on the second bottom plate 693 side in the housing 69. Since the structures of the pressure accumulators are the same, the pressure accumulator provided on the second bottom plate 693 side is given as an example.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the accumulator 68 includes a plate portion 681 and a force storage mechanism 682. As an example, the force storage mechanism is a spring. The plate portion 681 is formed to separate the interior of the housing 69 in a liquid-tight manner. The force storage mechanism 682 is arranged between the plate portion 681 and the second bottom plate 693 of the housing 69, one end of which is connected to the plate portion 681, and the other end is connected to the second bottom plate 693 of the housing 69. By providing the accumulator 68, a fuel delivery chamber 61 is separated in the housing 69. During normal operation, the fuel flowing in the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 is replenished into the fuel delivery chamber 61 via the one-way valve 66, and the plate portion 681 is pushed, thereby compressing the force storage mechanism 682, and pressure is accumulated through the force storage mechanism 682. When the main fuel pipe 40 is replenished with fuel via the oil replenishment mechanism, the force storage mechanism 682 extends and pushes the plate portion 681, assisting the fuel replenishment to the main fuel pipe. By providing the accumulator 68, it can be ensured that there is sufficient pressure for replenishment when the main fuel pipe 40 needs to be replenished with fuel.

[0078] The one-way valve 66 is disposed in the auxiliary fuel pipe 63 , allowing the fuel in the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 to flow to the fuel transfer chamber 61 , and preventing the fuel in the fuel transfer chamber 61 from flowing to the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 .

[0079] Next, the operation of the fuel delivery device of this embodiment will be described.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, through the previous operation process, the fuel flowing in the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 is stored in the fuel transfer chamber 61 through the one-way valve 66. Since during the operation, the fuel also flows in the main fuel pipe 40, the elastic member 67 is compressed under the action of the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40, the slider through pipe 65 is pushed into the cover 64, and the through hole 653 is closed by the cover 64, so that the fuel is kept stored in the fuel transfer chamber 61.

[0081] After the APU is stopped, since there is no fuel supply in the main fuel pipe 40, the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40 decreases, and the slider through-tube 65 is pushed into the main fuel through-tube 62 under the force of the elastic member 67. The position of the slider through-tube 65 is as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the through hole 653 is closed by the main fuel through pipe 62, and the fuel is still stored in the fuel transfer chamber 61.

[0082] In the initial stage of starting, no fuel flows through the auxiliary fuel pipe 50, but fuel flows through the main fuel pipe 40. Under the action of the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40, the elastic member 67 is compressed, and the slider through-tube 65 is pushed into the housing 64. The position of the slider through-tube 65 is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the through hole 653 is closed by the cover 64 , and the fuel replenished by the previous operation is still stored in the fuel transfer chamber 61 .

[0083] In the middle of starting, when the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 is opened and the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40 drops to a specified pressure, the slider through-tube 65 is pushed toward the main fuel through-tube 62 by the force of the elastic member 67. Under the combined effect of the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40 and the force of the elastic member 67, the position of the slider through-tube 65 is changed as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the through hole 653 is in a state of being connected to the fuel delivery chamber 61, and the fuel stored in the fuel delivery chamber 61 can be supplied to the main fuel pipe 40 through the through hole 653. Along with this, the power storage mechanism 682 extends and pushes the plate portion 681, thereby assisting the fuel to be replenished to the main fuel pipe 40. In this way, it is possible to avoid excessive pressure fluctuations in the main fuel pipe 40, thereby improving starting reliability.

[0084] After the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40 is increased and then stabilized by the fuel replenishment, the slider through-tube 65 is pushed into the cover 64 under the action of the pressure P2 of the main fuel pipe 40, and the through-hole 653 is closed by the cover 64. In addition, the pressure P1 of the fuel transfer chamber 61 is reduced due to the fuel replenishment, and the one-way valve 66 is opened under the action of the pressure P3 of the auxiliary fuel pipe 50, so that the fuel is stored in the fuel transfer chamber 61.

[0085] The above steps are repeated.

[0086] According to the fuel transfer device of the above structure, the fuel flowing in the auxiliary fuel pipe can be stored in the fuel transfer chamber through the one-way valve during the previous operation. In the middle of starting, when the pressure of the main fuel pipe drops due to the opening of the auxiliary fuel pipe, the fuel stored in the fuel transfer chamber can be supplemented into the main fuel pipe through the through hole of the oil replenishing mechanism.

[0087] In addition, by providing an accumulator, it is possible to assist in replenishing fuel to the main fuel pipe.

[0088] It can avoid excessive pressure fluctuations in the main fuel pipe, thereby improving starting reliability.

[0089] (Second Embodiment)

[0090] In the first embodiment, the pressure accumulator is described as including a plate portion and a force storage mechanism, i.e., a spring. In contrast, in the second embodiment, a pressure storage capsule is used as the pressure accumulator. The structure, function, and effect not specifically described in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the description will be centered on the differences from the first embodiment.

[0091] Figure 6 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a fuel transfer device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, at least one pressure accumulator capsule 78 as a pressure accumulator is fixed to the inside of the housing 69 through a bracket 79. The fuel transfer chamber 61 is formed by the pressure accumulator capsule 78, the bracket 79 and the housing 69. A prescribed amount of inert gas is filled in the pressure accumulator capsule 78.

[0092] The pressure storage capsule 78 is elastically deformable. The fuel flowing in the auxiliary fuel pipe 50 is compressed and pressurized when it is stored in the fuel transfer chamber 61 through the one-way valve 66. It expands when the fuel stored in the fuel transfer chamber 61 is supplied to the main fuel pipe 40 through the through hole 653, thereby helping to replenish the fuel to the main fuel pipe 40.

[0093] According to the fuel delivery device of the second embodiment, substantially the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved.

[0094] The above describes the embodiments of the present invention and its variations, but it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments and structures. The present disclosure also includes various variations and variations within the equivalent range. In addition, various combinations and methods, and other combinations and methods including only one element, above or below them, also belong to the scope and thought range of the present disclosure.

[0095] The dimensions of the fuel transfer chamber, the cover, the fuel through-tube, the dimensions of the slider through-tube, the through-hole size / shape, the arrangement angle of the slider through-tube, and the spring force of the accumulator can be determined through experiments and adjusted according to the specifications of the APU.
