Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of aerospace technology, and in particular to a low-temperature dual-path flow synchronous regulator based on an adjustable Venturi tube. BACKGROUND
[0002] The adjustable cavitation Venturi tube has been widely used in variable-thrust liquid rocket engine supply systems due to its fast flow regulation response speed and high flow control precision. The working principle of the adjustable cavitation Venturi tube is to change the flow area of the Venturi tube by using a movable needle cone, thereby achieving flow control. In order to achieve simultaneous control of the flow of oxidizer and fuel, existing engine flow regulation and mixture ratio control schemes mainly include two technical forms:
[0003] The first type is to use two separate adjustable cavitation Venturi tubes to control the flow of oxidizer and fuel respectively. The adjustable cavitation Venturi tubes are driven by two independent servo mechanisms and are not mechanically connected to each other. The disadvantage of this method is that due to the differences in response time and working characteristics of the two driving controllers, the synchronization of the servo mechanisms on the oxidizer control side and the fuel control side is difficult to guarantee, especially the inconsistency of the start-up response characteristics and the stop response characteristics, which ultimately leads to a time difference in the flow regulation of the two paths, causing large fluctuations in the mixture ratio and affecting the stable and reliable operation of the engine.
[0004] The second type is to use a mechanically linked dual-path or multi-path Venturi tube. The needle cones of the oxidizer and fuel of the Venturi tube are connected in parallel, and a driving mechanism is used to drive them. The disadvantage of this method is that the connection method of the two needle cones has high rigidity, high coaxiality and parallelism requirements, and uneven mechanical load can easily cause the needle cones to be misaligned in front and back or the push rod to be deformed, thereby affecting the flow and mixture ratio range.
[0005] In addition to the above-mentioned disadvantages, existing flow regulation schemes can only control the flow of normal temperature propellants. The density and saturation vapor pressure of low-temperature propellants are greatly affected by temperature, pressure and other state parameters, and their flow is easily affected by state parameters. The control accuracy of the servo mechanism and the synchronization of the needle cone at low temperature are difficult to guarantee. In addition, the dynamic sealing of low-temperature media is strict, and long-term low-temperature work of the device can easily cause low-temperature icing, affecting the operation and sealing of the moving parts.

In this embodiment, the plug cone support 112 is generally in the form of a circular ring structure, thereby, the plug cone support 112 can be coaxially nested with the liquid inlet cavity 111a. Furthermore, the hollow portion of the plug cone support 112 is matched with the equal-diameter portion of the plug cone 13 to ensure accurate axial sliding of the plug cone 13. Furthermore, the end of the liquid inlet chamber 111a connected to the end cap 113 can be radially narrowed, thereby forming a stepped structure in the liquid inlet chamber 111a. This allows the plug cone support 112 to be inserted at the radially narrowed position, enabling convenient and flexible installation of the plug cone support 112.
[0062] In this embodiment, to facilitate the accurate installation position of the plug cone support 112, an annular limiting boss 111a1 can be further provided at the position where the plug cone support 112 is installed in the liquid inlet chamber 111a. Thus, the installation position is accurately limited based on the abutment between the plug cone support 112 and the annular limiting boss 111a1.
[0063] In this embodiment, the end cap 113 is provided with a first plug cone through hole that penetrates its body, and the first plug cone through hole is arranged coaxially with the hollow part of the plug cone support 112. Thus, the plug cone 13 can easily pass through the first plug cone through hole to achieve a sliding connection with the plug cone support 112.
[0064] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a second sealing ring b is provided between the end cap 113 and the end of the liquid inlet chamber 111a. The second sealing ring b is disposed between the annular limiting boss 111a1 and the end cap 113 to achieve a dynamic seal between the plug cone 13 and the plug cone support 112 at their sliding positions, thereby preventing reverse overflow of fluid. In this embodiment, the second sealing ring b is a low-temperature resistant spring-loaded sealing ring, and the sealing ring is pressed by the end cap 113 to ensure good axial sealing of the plug cone 13.
[0065] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the inlet chambers 111a and venturi tubes 12 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence; wherein, the axial direction of the inlet port 111b is perpendicular to the axial direction of the inlet chamber 111a; in this embodiment, on the base body 111, the two inlet chambers 111a are arranged symmetrically side by side, and the two inlet ports 111b are arranged symmetrically. The structures of the two inlet chambers 111a on the base body 111 are identical to effectively ensure the consistency of the dual-path structure, thereby achieving high precision in synchronous control.
[0066] In this embodiment, the liquid inlet 111b may be further provided with a tubular connector to enable connection with an external supply device, thereby ensuring the ease of connection of the present invention.
[0067] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the base 11 further includes a clamping member 114; wherein, the clamping member 114 is used to fix the venturi tube 12 to the base body 111, so as to ensure reliable installation of the venturi tube 12 and effectively ensure the coaxiality of the venturi tube 12 and the inlet chamber 111a, thereby ensuring high installation accuracy. In this embodiment, the inlet end of the venturi tube 12 extends into the inlet chamber 111a, and the inlet end of the venturi tube 12 and the inlet chamber 111a are nested together; wherein, a first positioning step is provided in the inlet chamber 111a; the first positioning step can achieve mutual abutment with the inlet end of the venturi tube 12, thereby achieving accurate and reliable installation. Furthermore, the clamping member 114 is sleeved on the outside of the venturi tube 12, and the pressing end of the clamping member 114 is screwed to the end of the inlet chamber 111a; thus, the pressing end of the clamping member 114 and the first positioning step are used to clamp and fix the inlet end of the venturi tube 12. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the reliable installation of the inlet end of the venturi tube 12, the inlet end of the venturi tube 12 is arranged to be radially enlarged, so that the inlet end of the venturi tube 12 abuts against the pressing end of the clamping member 114 and the first positioning step in the axial direction respectively.
[0068] In this embodiment, the pressing end of the clamping member 114 is based on the thread provided on the outside to achieve a reliable connection with the thread provided on the inside of the liquid inlet chamber 111a.
[0069] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a first sealing ring a is provided between the pressing end of the clamping member 114 and the venturi tube 12; wherein, the first sealing ring a can be set as a copper washer, so as to achieve airtightness at the connection position through the first sealing ring a. In addition, by using a copper washer, it can have better temperature adaptability, thereby ensuring the reliability of the present invention during operation.
[0070] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping member 114 has a tubular structure, and the end of the clamping member 114 away from the pressing end extends beyond the outlet end of the venturi tube 12. In this embodiment, the inner surface of the hollow portion of the clamping member 114 is configured to match the outer surface of the venturi tube 12.
[0071] In this embodiment, the end of the clamping member 114 that extends beyond the venturi tube 12 can form the fluid outlet end, thereby facilitating a reliable connection with the rest of the structure and improving the flexibility of the invention.
[0072] With the above configuration, the venturi tube 12 can be stably fixed based on the clamping member 114. At the same time, the venturi tube 12 can be restricted within the clamping member 114 by connecting the clamping member 114 to the venturi tube 12. This can effectively ensure the reliable and stable structure of the venturi tube 12 during the working process, which is more beneficial to improving the working performance of the present invention.
[0073] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the drive device 14 includes an output structure 141 and a synchronization structure 142; wherein, the output structure 141 may be a linear output device, for example, the output structure 141 may be configured as a high-precision servo mechanism for outputting linear motion. Furthermore, linear output of motion can be achieved by connecting the synchronization structure 142 to the telescopic end of the output structure 141.
[0074] In this embodiment, the synchronization structure 142 includes a fisheye bearing 1421 and a connecting crossbar 1422 mounted on the fisheye bearing 1421. The fisheye bearing 1421 is connected to the telescopic end of the output structure 141, for example, through threaded connection, welding, or bonding. Further, along the length of the connecting crossbar 1422, the opposite ends of the connecting crossbar 1422 are respectively connected to the fixed connection ends of the plug cone 13. In this embodiment, the end of the connecting crossbar 1422 is provided with a mounting hole, and the fixed connection ends of the plug cone 13 are fixed to each other by engaging with the mounting hole. Specifically, the fixed connection ends of the plug cone 13 can be threaded to the mounting hole, or a nested connection can be used to match the fixed connection ends of the plug cone 13 to the mounting hole. Furthermore, positioning screw holes and positioning screws are provided on the side of the fixed connection ends of the plug cone 13 to achieve abutment and restriction of the fixed connection ends of the plug cone 13.
[0075] Through the above configuration, the two plug cones 13 are connected by a connecting crossbar 1422 in the synchronization structure 142, thereby achieving synchronous drive control through the drive device 14. Furthermore, by incorporating a fisheye bearing 1421 in the synchronization structure 142, the installed connecting crossbar 1422 gains a certain degree of freedom in its axial position, compensating for the coaxiality error of the two plug cone supports 112, effectively ensuring the working stability and synchronous control accuracy of the invention.
[0076] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, an adjusting shim D for adjusting the flow range and the dual-path fluid mixing ratio is optionally provided between the fixed connection end of the connecting crossbar 1422 and the plug cone 13; wherein, the flow range of the oxidant control side and the fuel control side can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the shim D, specifically, increasing the shim thickness of the adjusting shim D to decrease the flow on the corresponding side, and decreasing the shim thickness of the adjusting shim D to increase the flow on the corresponding side; and, the dual-path fluid mixing ratio (i.e., the mixing ratio of oxidant and fuel) can be changed by adjusting the shim D, specifically, increasing the thickness of the adjusting shim D on the oxidant control side to decrease the dual-path fluid mixing ratio, and increasing the thickness of the adjusting shim D on the fuel control side to increase the dual-path fluid mixing ratio.
[0077] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the plug cone 13 includes a conical portion and a portion of equal diameter, wherein the conical portion is positioned relative to the inlet of the venturi tube 12 to adjust the flow area of the venturi tube 12 inlet. In this embodiment, the flow area of the venturi tube 12 inlet and the displacement of the plug cone 13 satisfy a linear relationship, thereby achieving linear adjustment of the flow rate over a wide range. Therefore, the linear relationship between the flow area of the venturi tube 12 inlet and the displacement of the plug cone 13 is expressed as:
[0078] A = ax + b
[0079] in, A This indicates the flow area at the inlet of the Venturi tube 12. a and b They are constants, x This indicates the displacement of plug cone 13.
[0080] In this embodiment, during the process of adjusting the mixing ratio of the two-channel fluid by increasing the thickness of the adjusting shim D, the increase in the thickness of the adjusting shim D and the mixing ratio of the two-channel fluid satisfy the following:
[0081] MR =( a 1( x +Δ L )+ b 1) / ( a 2 x + b 2)* k = a 1 / a 2+ a 1*Δ L / ( a 2* x )
[0082] in, MR Indicates the mixing ratio of the two-channel fluid. x The displacement Δ of plug cone 13 is expressed as... L This indicates the increase in the thickness of the adjusting shim D. a 1. b 1. a 2. b 2 are constants, where subscript 1 indicates the oxidizer control side and subscript 2 indicates the fuel control side. k This represents a constant, which is obtained from the physical and state parameters of the oxidant and fuel.
[0083] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a cryogenic dual-path flow synchronization regulator based on an adjustable venturi tube further includes: an air replacement structure 16; wherein, the air replacement structure 16 includes: a gas supply line 161 and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) corrugated pipe 162. In this embodiment, the PTFE corrugated pipe 162 is sleeved on the outside of the plug cone 13; specifically, one end of the PTFE corrugated pipe 162 covers the outside of the end cap 113, and the PTFE corrugated pipe 162 is sealed to the outside of the end cap 113; the other end of the PTFE corrugated pipe 162 covers the outside of the fixed connection end of the plug cone 13, and the PTFE corrugated pipe 162 is sealed to the outside of the plug cone 13. In this embodiment, PTFE corrugated pipes 162 are respectively provided on the two plug cones 13, and the gas supply line 161 is correspondingly used to replace the air in the two arranged PTFE corrugated pipes 162, so as to achieve the effect of adapting to the cryogenic operating environment of the present invention.
[0084] Furthermore, the end cap 113 is provided with a first connecting pipe 112a for connecting the gas transmission line 161 and the hollow part of the PTFE corrugated pipe 162. The inlet of the first connecting pipe 112a is located on the outer surface of the end cap 113, and the outlet of the first connecting pipe 112a is located on the side of the end cap 113 facing the PTFE corrugated pipe 162. In this embodiment, the first connecting pipe 112a can be configured as an annular passage arranged in the end cap 113, with only one inlet to connect to the corresponding port on the gas transmission line 161. Multiple outlets of the first connecting pipe 112a can be provided on the side of the end cap 113 to achieve rapid and stable gas transmission to the hollow part of the PTFE corrugated pipe 162. In this embodiment, the outlets of the first connecting pipe 112a are arranged in a ring on the side of the end cap 113, and multiple outlets (e.g., eight) are evenly spaced. By setting multiple outlets of the first connecting pipe 112a, the effect of uniform distribution around the plug cone 13 can be achieved. On the one hand, the air in the polytetrafluoroethylene corrugated pipe 162 can be quickly discharged, and on the other hand, the surface of the plug cone 13 can be blown away.
[0085] Furthermore, the fixed connection end of the plug cone 13 is provided with a second connecting pipe 13a for connecting the hollow part of the PTFE corrugated tube 162 to the outside. The inlet of the second connecting pipe 13a is located on the outer surface of the plug cone 13, and the outlet of the second connecting pipe 13a is located on the end face away from the PTFE corrugated tube 162. In this embodiment, multiple inlets of the second connecting pipe 13a can be provided, specifically, they can be evenly distributed along the outer surface of the plug cone 13 to increase the receiving range of the discharged gas, thereby improving the discharge efficiency during the gas replacement process. Only one outlet of the second connecting pipe 13a can be provided, thus facilitating connection to multiple inlets of the second connecting pipe 13a. This not only facilitates the arrangement of the outlet of the second connecting pipe 13a on the end face but also effectively reduces the processing difficulty of the second connecting pipe 13a.
[0086] Through the above-described configuration, the present invention, by setting the air replacement structure 16, can achieve the enclosure of the plug cone 13. Furthermore, by introducing dilution gas (such as nitrogen) into the PTFE bellows 162, the internal air can be replaced, effectively preventing icing-induced failures caused by long-term operation at low temperatures and ensuring the overall operational stability of the device.
