Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of jet pulsation pressure measurement and testing technology, and in particular to a device for measuring the pulsation pressure of a jet itself. Background Technology

[0002] In order to quickly transfer the spacecraft carrying astronauts to a safe area in an emergency, the escape tower of a manned spacecraft is generally equipped with a high-thrust engine. The jet of the high-thrust engine and the incoming airflow will generate strong interference, which will affect the spacecraft cabin located behind the escape engine, inducing a series of problems such as structural vibration of the spacecraft cabin and internal noise of the spacecraft cabin. These issues are related to the comfort and safety of the astronauts. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to the aerodynamic noise of the escape system during the entire design and development process.

[0003] Wind tunnel testing is an effective means of studying aerodynamic problems. In wind tunnel testing, pulsating pressure sensors are usually placed on the surface of the model to measure aerodynamic noise. For test models with jets, such as the escape tower of a manned spacecraft, whether cold or hot jets are used to simulate the actual engine jets, the pressure in the model's storage chamber and the nozzle outlet pressure are not absolutely stable when the jet system is working. This means that the measured pulsating pressure signal already contains the pulsating pressure component of the jet itself, and it is difficult to place sensors on the model to measure the jet's own pulsating pressure separately during the test.

[0004] Therefore, in order to understand the jet's own pulsating pressure and eliminate its influence on the test results, it is necessary to design a jet's own pulsating pressure measuring device that is independent of the test model and can measure the jet's own pulsating pressure independently. Such a device can be widely used in pulsating pressure measurement tests with jets. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an apparatus for measuring the pulsating pressure of a jet stream, which can acquire the pulsating pressure of the jet stream inside the reservoir and at the nozzle outlet, providing information on the pulsating pressure of the jet stream itself for pulsating pressure measurement tests with a jet stream.

[0006] The present invention provides a device for measuring the pulsating pressure of a jet stream, comprising a reservoir, a nozzle, a pulsating pressure sensor, and a pressure gauge;

[0008] A pulsating pressure sensor and a pressure gauge are installed on the side wall of the storage chamber, and a pulsating pressure sensor is installed on the side wall of the nozzle outlet.

[0013] Preferably, the sealing gasket has an arc-shaped cross-section at both the top and bottom.

[0014] The upper and lower ends of the sealing gasket are respectively embedded in the trapezoidal grooves reserved on the storage chamber and the nozzle.

[0015] Preferably, the storage chamber and the nozzle are made of stainless steel, and the sealing gasket is made of copper.

[0016] Preferably, the internal cavity shape of the storage chamber and the nozzle must be consistent with the test model.

[0017] Preferably, the pulsating pressure sensor is installed in a pre-drilled mounting hole on the side wall of the reservoir and the side wall of the nozzle outlet, with the axis of the pulsating pressure sensor along the normal direction of the measuring point wall.

[0018] Preferably, it includes multiple different nozzles and multiple different storage chambers;

[0019] The different nozzles and the different reservoirs can be disassembled and assembled.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for measuring the pulsating pressure of a jet stream, including a reservoir 1, a nozzle 2, a sealing gasket 3, and a pulsating pressure sensor.

[0031] The storage chamber 1 has a high-pressure gas source connection port on the left end. The upper end of the storage chamber 1 is connected to the lower end of the nozzle 2. The storage chamber 1 and the nozzle 2 are sealed by the sealing gasket 3. A pulsating pressure sensor is installed on the side wall of the storage chamber 1 and the outlet side wall of the nozzle 2.

[0032] Furthermore, a high-pressure gas source connection port is provided at the left end of the storage chamber 1 for connecting to the jet gas supply system. The upper end of the storage chamber 1 is provided with an opening that communicates with the nozzle 2, and a trapezoidal groove is provided around the opening.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the jet air supply system connected to this device is consistent with the jet air supply system used in the jet model in the wind tunnel test.

[0034] Furthermore, the lower end of the nozzle 2 is connected to the upper end of the storage chamber 1, and the nozzle 2 is fastened to the storage chamber 1 by bolts. A trapezoidal groove is provided around the inlet of the nozzle 2 on the lower end surface of the nozzle 2.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sealing gasket 3 has an arc-shaped cross section, which can be embedded in the trapezoidal groove reserved on the storage chamber 1 and the nozzle 2. The sealing between the storage chamber 1 and the nozzle 2 is achieved through the close contact between the arc surface and the side wall of the groove. The sealing method between the nozzle 2 and the storage chamber 1 can ensure reliable sealing under high pressure in the storage chamber 1.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the storage chamber 1 and the nozzle 2 are made of stainless steel, and the sealing gasket 3 is made of copper. As a preferred option, the sealing gasket 3 can be annealed. After annealing, the copper is more flexible and can achieve a better sealing effect.

[0037] Furthermore, the internal cavity profiles of the storage chamber 1 and the nozzle 2 must be consistent with the experimental model.

[0038] Furthermore, the pulsating pressure sensor includes a first pulsating pressure sensor 4 mounted on the side wall of the reservoir 1 and a second pulsating pressure sensor 5 mounted on the outlet side wall of the nozzle 2. The pulsating pressure sensors are installed in pre-drilled mounting holes on the side wall of the reservoir 1 and the outlet side wall of the nozzle 2. The axis of the pulsating pressure sensor is along the normal direction of the measuring point wall surface. The first pulsating pressure sensor 4 mounted on the side wall of the reservoir 1 can measure the pulsating pressure information of the airflow inside the reservoir 1, and the second pulsating pressure sensor 5 mounted on the outlet side wall of the nozzle 2 can measure the pulsating pressure information of the jet at the outlet of the nozzle 2.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the nozzle 2 and the reservoir 1 can be disassembled and combined. By replacing different nozzles 2 or different reservoirs 1, various measurement targets can be achieved. For example, in an experiment, the test model has multiple nozzles 2 with different internal cavity profiles, sharing a single reservoir 1. In this case, multiple nozzle 2 components and one reservoir 1 component can be fabricated. By combining the nozzles 2 and the reservoir 1, the pulsating pressure of the jets from multiple nozzles 2 can be measured.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, pressure gauge 6 is connected to storage chamber 1 via pressure guiding pipeline, which can monitor the gas pressure in storage chamber 1 in real time.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the steps for measuring the self-pulsating pressure of a jet using the present invention are as follows:

[0042] (1) Determine the combination of the storage chamber 1 and the nozzle 2, as well as the total jet pressure, based on the model test conditions;

[0043] (2) Complete the connection and testing of each component and sensor of the device, and connect the jet gas supply system;

[0044] (3) Adjust the air source pressure until the reading of the pressure gauge 6 stabilizes at the required pressure to complete the adjustment of the total jet pressure;

[0045] (4) Start collecting pulsed pressure. After collecting the signal for a sufficient duration, turn off the gas source and the collection system.

[0046] (5) Process and analyze the pulsating pressure signal.

[0047] In summary, the device for measuring the pulsating pressure of a jet stream according to the present invention can solve the problem that the pulsating pressure of a jet stream is difficult to measure in the pulsating pressure measurement test, and the measurement results can reflect the pulsating pressure of the jet stream in the actual test.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
