Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engine delivery systems, and particularly relates to a bladder-type piston propellant pressurization and delivery device. Background Technology
[0002] Piston-type propellant tanks are one type of extrusion-based pressurization and delivery system. Due to their simple supply control, high venting efficiency, and long service life, they are widely used in propellant pressurization and delivery. Piston-type propellant tanks are further divided into gas-source extrusion and motor-driven screw extrusion based on their drive method. Gas-source extrusion mainly uses high-pressure nitrogen or helium gas from a cylinder introduced into the top of the tank, using the high-pressure gas to push the piston to extrude the propellant into the supply pipeline. Gas-source systems require additional high-pressure gas cylinders, delivery pipelines, and valve control systems, significantly increasing the overall weight of the engine and the complexity of the system. Motor-driven screw extrusion uses a motor to drive a screw to rotate, which, through a nut, converts the circumferential motion into axial motion, driving the piston to extrude the propellant and achieve pressurized delivery. The transmission device has a simple structure, a small system size, and allows for precise control of the propellant supply flow rate by controlling the piston speed. However, current piston-type propellant tanks often suffer from sealing problems. This is not only reflected in the difficulty of sealing the threaded connection between the screw and nut, but also in the friction generated by the axial movement of the sealing ring on the piston head, which greatly increases the motor power requirements. High-concentration hydrogen peroxide and other non-toxic, non-polluting, and easily stored green propellants are the future development trend. However, high-concentration hydrogen peroxide has strict requirements for the compatibility of contact materials, which greatly limits the selection of materials used in pressurized delivery systems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bladder-type piston propellant pressurization and delivery device to solve the problems of difficult sealing at the threaded connection between the lead screw and nut, high power of the drive motor, and high compatibility requirements of the propellant.
[0004] This invention adopts the following technical solution: a bladder-type piston propellant pressurization and delivery device, comprising:
[0005] The propellant tank is sealed, and a speed reducer and drive motor are installed at its left end;
[0006] The piston is located inside the propellant tank;
[0007] The lead screw is located inside the propellant tank; its left end passes through the propellant tank and connects to the reducer, and its right end extends towards the outlet of the propellant tank and is fixed to the inner wall of the propellant tank by a bearing seat; the lead screw is used to drive the piston to move to the right.
[0008] The pressure sleeve is fitted around the outside of the lead screw, with its left end fixedly connected to one side of the piston and its right end extending toward the bearing seat.
[0009] A storage bag containing propellant is located at the periphery of the lead screw and in the inner cavity of the propellant storage tank, and when the piston is pressed to the right, the propellant in the storage bag is pressed out of the outlet of the storage bag, and then the propellant is discharged from the outlet of the propellant storage tank.
[0010] Further, the inner wall of the propellant storage tank is elliptical in cross section, and the outer wall is circular in cross section.
[0011] Further, the pressure sleeve comprises a first sleeve, a second sleeve and a third sleeve in sequence from left to right, the right end of the third sleeve is fixed to the left side of the bearing seat, and the left end of the first sleeve is fixed to the right side wall of the piston.
[0012] Further, the storage bag is provided with a propellant outlet corresponding to the outlet of the propellant storage tank, so that the propellant is discharged from the propellant outlet of the storage bag and through the outlet of the propellant storage tank.
[0013] Further, the right end of the first sleeve is buckled outside the left end of the second sleeve, and the right end of the second sleeve is buckled outside the left end of the third sleeve.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0015] The present application effectively avoids the compatibility requirements of the propellant by installing a storage bag in the propellant storage tank, and effectively solves the sealing problem of the lead screw transmission extrusion.
[0016] The present application cancels the sealing element used by the piston by setting the storage bag, reduces the friction and resistance caused by the sealing element, and reduces the power of the driving motor. At the same time, the high polymer material used by the storage bag is often compatible with the liquid propellant, which is suitable for long-term storage of propellant, and the storage bag isolates the propellant from the structural components, so that the propellant compatibility requirements can be ignored when selecting the structural material.
[0017] The present application realizes the circumferential limiting ability of the piston by the elliptical inner wall profile of the propellant storage tank, realizes the structure simplification and avoids the risk of cutting the storage bag, reduces the commonly used limiting track, the system composition is simpler, meets the circumferential limiting requirements of the lead screw application, and at the same time ensures the smoothness of the wall surface of the propellant storage tank shell, which meets the requirements of the use of the storage bag.
[0018] This invention isolates the lead screw from the reservoir by using a pressure-bearing sleeve, allowing the lead screw to be mounted on the bearing seat and ensuring the smoothness of the reservoir's contact surface. During operation, the axial pressure of the reservoir on the pressure-bearing sleeve prevents the second and third sleeves from moving when the first sleeve moves to the right. This facilitates controlling the propellant discharge flow rate by controlling the speed of the drive motor. Similarly, when the second sleeve moves to the right, the third sleeve remains stationary due to axial pressure, again facilitating control of the propellant discharge flow rate by controlling the speed of the drive motor.
