[0002] In the prior art, as the power device of an aerial vehicle, an aero-engine is one of the determinants of the performance of the aerial vehicle and is called the heart of the aircraft. As the source of power of the aero-engine, a transmission system not only needs to transmit torque but also needs to transmit axial force and even radial force and other various loads.

[0003] Among them, the transmission gear box is a key component of the aero-engine, as a kinetic energy conversion device, it is used to drive the normal operation of the starting system, fuel system, oil system, power generation system, and hydraulic system of the aero-engine and aircraft, and its performance directly affects the operation of the aero-engine.

[0004] In the 21st century, the aero-engine is further accelerating development, which will bring new and greater changes to the field of human aviation. At present, the transmission aero-engine is developing towards gear transmission engine, variable cycle engine, multi-electric engine, inter-cooled regenerative engine and open rotor engine.

[0005] With the continuous improvement of the performance indicators of the aero-engine, high reliability, low oil consumption and high thrust-to-weight ratio, the rotational speed and input power of the gear box components are also increasing. The transmission gear box mainly adopts gear meshing and spline fitting structure.

[0006] When the transmission system is working, the high-speed rotating gears, bearings and splines and other rotor parts will generate a large amount of heat due to friction. If the heat is not discharged in time, it will accelerate the wear of the parts and reduce the service life. If not, it will cause the failure of the parts and endanger the safe operation of the engine and even the aircraft. Therefore, a safe and reliable lubrication and cooling mechanism in the transmission system is an important guarantee for the safe operation of the engine and the aircraft.

[0007] The mainstream lubrication and cooling structure of the gear box accessory of the traditional structure is the nozzle structure. One end of the nozzle is connected with the oil pipe (with a mounting positioning hole), and the other end is processed with one or more spray holes with a fixed hole diameter and a fixed length-diameter ratio based on the design of oil supply pressure, spray position and oil demand. The oil enters the nozzle through the oil inlet, and then is sprayed to the specified position through the spray hole, so as to realize the lubrication and cooling of the specified position.

[0050] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and comprehensible, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present application, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0055] In the conventional transmission gearbox, there is no adjustable direction oil nozzle, so after the oil nozzle is installed, the spray point of the oil nozzle cannot be adjusted in the circumferential direction, and only one spray point can be set for one oil nozzle, which cannot be universally replaced, and the economic cost is very high.

[0056] As shown in the drawings, Figures 3 to 14 The application discloses a multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device for an aero-engine transmission system, which comprises a mounting seat 10 and a first nozzle 100, one end of the first nozzle 100 is sleeved with a first spring 200, and the first nozzle 100 is installed into the mounting seat 10. The one end of the first nozzle 100 is engaged with the mounting seat 10 through positioning teeth, so that the first nozzle 100 rotates in the mounting seat 10 and is positioned freely in the circumferential direction. The first spring 200 can be preferably a wave spring.

[0057] As shown in the drawings, Figures 4 to 8 The one end of the first nozzle 100 is provided with a stepped portion 110, and the outer wall surface of the stepped portion 110 is provided with first positioning teeth 120. A first tooth matching portion 11 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the mounting seat 10, and the first positioning teeth 120 and the first tooth matching portion 11 are matched and connected with each other.

[0058] In addition, a clamping groove 12 is formed in the inner wall surface of the mounting seat 10, and a first stop ring 300 is arranged in the clamping groove 12. The first stop ring 300 is located at the upper portion of the stepped portion 110 and is used for preventing the first nozzle 100 from being displaced in the axial direction.

[0059] The one end of the first nozzle 100 is also provided with a first rubber ring 130, which is installed between the first nozzle 100 and the mounting seat 10 and is located at the lower portion of the first spring 200.

[0060] As shown in the drawings, Figures 9 to 11 The multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device further comprises a second nozzle 400, an installation cavity 140 is formed in the other end of the first nozzle 100, one end of the second nozzle 400 is sleeved with a second spring 500, and the second nozzle 400 is installed into the installation cavity 140. The one end of the second nozzle 400 is engaged with the installation cavity 140 through positioning teeth, so that the second nozzle 400 rotates in the installation cavity 140 and is positioned freely in the circumferential direction.

[0061] Preferably, a second positioning tooth 410 is arranged at the one end of the second nozzle 400, a second tooth matching portion 141 is arranged on the bottom wall surface of the installation cavity 140, and the second positioning tooth 410 and the second tooth matching portion 141 are matched and connected with each other.

[0062] Further, a second stop ring 600 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the mounting cavity 140, and is located at the upper portion of the second spring 500, for preventing the second nozzle 400 from moving in the axial direction.

[0063] A second rubber ring 420 is further arranged at one end of the second nozzle 400, and is arranged between the second nozzle 400 and the mounting cavity 140, and is located at the lower portion of the second spring 500.

[0064] As shown in the drawings, preferably, scales are arranged on the first nozzle 100 and the second nozzle 400, and the upper end surface of the mounting seat 10 is provided with scales. According to the design technical requirements or actual situation, the corresponding scale value can be rotated in the circumferential direction during assembly, so as to achieve the effect of accurate spraying positioning. Figures 15 to 17

[0065] The application further provides an aero-engine, characterized in that the aero-engine comprises the multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device as described above.

[0066] According to the above structural description, the multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device comprises four parts. The first part is the first nozzle 100 and the second nozzle 400, both of which have positioning teeth, and can be positioned in the circumferential direction by rotating the nozzles, without the need to assemble and position by changing the nozzle body (nozzle direction). The second part is the first spring 200 and the second spring 500, which are assembled between the nozzle body and the stop ring, and provide continuous elastic force to lock the position of the nozzle body, preventing axial movement. The third part is the first stop ring 300 and the second stop ring 600, which are assembled on the inner side of the mounting seat, cooperate with the springs, and prevent the nozzle body from moving in the axial direction. The fourth part is the first rubber ring 130 and the second rubber ring 420, which are assembled between the nozzle body and the mounting seat, and play a sealing role.

[0067] After the multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device is adopted, the second nozzle 400 can be rotated in the circumferential direction during assembly. For example, when the first nozzle 100 is assembled, first, the nozzle body of the first nozzle 100 (the first rubber ring 130 has been assembled) is assembled with the wave spring 202 (i.e. the first spring 200) at the lower end surface, and is placed into the mounting seat 10 (positioning teeth and cooperation). Then, the first stop ring 130 is assembled (to prevent the first nozzle 100 from slipping in the axial direction).

[0068] ​Second, to adjust the injection circumferential direction, first, the first nozzle 100 is axially pressed down, so that the nozzle body and the tooth on the mounting seat 10 are axially disengaged, then the first nozzle 100 is rotated to the appropriate position according to the requirements, and the axial force on the first nozzle 100 is removed, so that the first nozzle 100 is re-engaged with the tooth on the mounting seat 10 under the action of the wave spring, thereby enabling the first nozzle 100 to more accurately spray oil, facilitating installation, and enabling accurate positioning of the injection circumferential position. In this way, the design and the actual object can correspond to each other, and production costs can be effectively saved.

[0069] Further, after adopting the multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device, the second nozzle 400 can be circumferentially rotated during assembly. For example, to install the second nozzle 400, first, the lower end surface of the nozzle body of the second nozzle 400 (with the second rubber ring 420 assembled) is assembled with the second spring 500, and then they are placed into the first nozzle 100 (positioning tooth and cooperation). Then, the second stop ring 600 is assembled (to prevent the second nozzle 400 from axially slipping off).

[0070] Second, to adjust the injection circumferential direction, since the tooth of the second nozzle 400 and the first nozzle 100 is in a sliding flat tooth mode, the second nozzle 400 can be directly rotated (toward the tooth direction) to axially disengage the tooth of the second nozzle 400 and the first nozzle 100. Then, the second nozzle 400 is rotated to the appropriate position according to the requirements, and the circumferential force on the second nozzle 400 is removed, so that the second nozzle 400 is re-engaged with the tooth of the first nozzle 100 under the action of the spring, thereby enabling the second nozzle 400 to more accurately spray oil, facilitating installation, and enabling accurate positioning of the injection circumferential position, ensuring that the design and the actual object can correspond to each other, and effectively saving production costs.

[0071] Further, after adopting the multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device, the first nozzle 100 and the second nozzle 400, which are composed of two stages, can be independently circumferentially rotated during assembly. According to actual requirements, the first nozzle 100 is circumferentially rotated for accurate positioning of the injection direction, then the second nozzle 400 is circumferentially rotated for accurate positioning of the injection direction. The two nozzles have the characteristics of strong relative independence, strong versatility, and strong interchangeability.

[0072] After adopting the multi-directional multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device, since the two-stage nozzle or the multi-stage nozzle can be independently circumferentially rotated, the nozzle assembly with this structure can be standardized for production, the engine can select a shelf product according to design requirements, the research and development cycle is shortened, the research and development cost can be greatly reduced, the versatility is strong, the application of the product is ensured, and the risk is reduced.

[0073] After the multi-directional and multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device is adopted, the oil injection nozzle device of the gear box is different from the traditional scheme, the D-shaped anti-rotation mode is usually adopted for positioning in the traditional gear box, each oil injection nozzle is limited to one oil injection point position, the injection direction cannot be changed, the processing difficulty and precision of the oil nozzle are required, the installation process is complex, and the installation is prone to be out of position, the repeated disassembly process is complex, and damage is prone to occur. However, the processing technology of the multi-directional and multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device is mature, the installation part cooperating with the device has high universality, and the device is convenient to install and can be repeatedly disassembled.

[0074] In the multi-directional and multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device, the positioning device (without bolt installation) can reasonably utilize the internal space of the shaft, effectively save the space of the gear box, be beneficial to the circulation of the gear oil of the gear box and reduce the splashing phenomenon of the gear oil, so that the temperature of the gear box is effectively reduced.

[0075] Since the fastening mode of the device adopts a spring structure, the axial positioning can be realized in real time, and the loosening phenomenon is better prevented. Meanwhile, since it is a spring structure, the disassembly and assembly process is more convenient and reliable, so that the damage risk caused by repeated disassembly and assembly of related parts is effectively reduced.

[0076] In addition, since the circumferential positioning mode of the device adopts a tooth type (part) structure, the injection direction of the oil injection nozzle can be adjusted and positioned in the circumferential direction according to the actual situation, and the oil injection point is better positioned. Since it is a circumferential tooth type structure, the injection direction can be adjusted in the circumferential direction by 360°, so that the injection direction is more convenient and reliable, thereby effectively reducing the damage risk caused by repeated disassembly and assembly of related parts.

[0077] Further, since the circumferential positioning mode of the device adopts a sliding tooth type (two parts) structure, the injection direction of the oil injection nozzle can be adjusted and positioned in the circumferential direction according to the actual situation, and the oil injection point is better positioned. Since it is a circumferential sliding tooth type structure, the injection direction can be adjusted in the circumferential direction in one direction, so that the injection direction is more convenient and reliable, thereby effectively reducing the damage risk caused by repeated disassembly and assembly of related parts.

[0078] Still further, since the device has a circumferential free rotation structure, the oil injection nozzle and the casing body cooperating structure can adopt a standard form. In this way, oil injection nozzles of multiple models (different in length) can be exchanged, the structure processing technology is mature, the device is not prone to produce over-difference, the device has low requirements on the operating environment (space) during assembly and disassembly, can be conveniently disassembled, is not prone to be damaged during multiple disassembly processes, can be repeatedly installed and used, has high reliability, and the like.

[0079] In addition, since the device is a two-stage nozzle, the two-stage nozzle can be replaced according to actual needs, the installation time is saved, the device can be repeatedly used and replaced, and the economic benefit is high.

[0080] Due to the wave washer or thread is multi-point annular surface contact, the device can be effectively and uniformly applied axial force, the axial uniform force of the tooth type connection can be maintained, and dislocation and circumferential positioning failure can be prevented.

[0081] Due to the wave washer is installed between the tooth side and the oil nozzle end face, the elastic deformation exerts pressure on one side of the positioning device of the oil nozzle, so that the oil nozzle is locked. The special mechanism of the wave washer has an anti-vibration effect. The positioning device effectively locks through the elastic deformation of the wave washer in the working state of the gear box, ensures that the device always maintains axial pre-tightening force, prevents the axial movement of the oil nozzle, reduces the vibration of the oil nozzle and prolongs the service life of the oil nozzle.

[0082] In addition, due to the wave washer can be selected as a standard part, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. During installation and disassembly, the check ring and the wave spring can be directly taken out, the installation is convenient and reliable, and the replacement is easy. The nozzle device and the case are assembled in a non-threaded manner, the installation and disassembly tools used are relatively simple, easy to carry, the operation space is small, and the reliability and maintainability are strong.

[0083] The multi-directional and multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device and the aero-engine comprising the same can keep the transmission rod in an axial positioning state relative to the gear shaft, realize continuous automatic positioning and locking, and has the advantages of convenient positioning measurement, simple installation process, low disassembly difficulty, low replacement cost, strong workpiece independence and the like.

[0084] The nozzle device solves the problems of high machining difficulty, low positioning accuracy, poor universality, high cost, complex installation, limited disassembly times and low safety margin. The nozzle device aligns the oil nozzle rod with the injection point through free rotation, positions in the form of circumferential teeth (360°) and sliding rack clamping, and finally automatically locks the oil nozzle rod in axial positioning through the spring structure, so as to better ensure the reliability and stability of the gear box oil injection.

[0085] The nozzle device has the advantages of more accurate positioning, slight adjustment, continuous application of axial force for locking, simple installation, repeated disassembly, large safety margin, strong universality and the like. The nozzle device can greatly reduce the design workload of the oil nozzle, reduce the use cost and production cycle, and has the value of popularization and can be applied to the multi-directional and multi-stage and universal structure design of the oil nozzle of the military and civil aero-engine transmission system.

[0086] In summary, the multi-directional and multi-stage automatic locking nozzle device and the aero-engine comprising the same can provide the gear box with oil injection function, so as to provide stability and reliability for the operation of the transmission gear box. The nozzle device has the following advantages:

[0087] I. Breakthrough the traditional transmission gearbox oil nozzle positioning mode, can be single nozzle into a circumferential free rotation, axial positioning into a better spring and stop ring cooperation automatic locking mode, for the gearbox nozzle positioning spray direction form opened a new way of thinking;

[0088] II.
