Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of detonation propulsion and vector propulsion, and specifically to a detonation vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of multiple unit bodies. Background Art

[0002] A detonation engine is a new type of engine that uses detonation combustion to generate thrust, including different forms such as pulse detonation engines and rotating detonation engines. Detonation combustion has potential advantages such as fast heat release, small entropy increase, and high thermal cycle efficiency, and has become one of the research hotspots in the field of aerospace power.

[0003] As an indispensable key technology for advanced aircraft, the core principle of vector propulsion is to use additional control torques to adjust the attitude of the aircraft, which helps to reduce the takeoff and landing roll distance and improve maneuverability and flexibility.

[0004] Traditional aerospace engines usually generate vector thrust by installing vector nozzles, but vector nozzles have disadvantages such as affecting engine performance and complex control strategies. For pulse detonation engines and rotating detonation engines, both have the advantages of simple structure and flexible design, which are convenient for integrating into a power device with vector propulsion function by means of the combination of multiple unit bodies, and obtaining the overall vector propulsion effect by regulating the working state of individual unit bodies. Therefore, the present invention proposes a detonation vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of multiple unit bodies, enabling the detonation engine to have vector propulsion function without introducing vector nozzles, avoiding the negative impacts caused by installing vector nozzles, improving space utilization rate, and having important significance for the practical application of detonation engines. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Technical Problems to be Solved

[0006] Aiming at the problems that the vector nozzle, as a traditional vector propulsion device of the engine, affects engine performance and has complex control strategies, the present invention proposes a detonation vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of multiple unit bodies, and obtains the overall vector propulsion effect by regulating the working state of individual unit bodies. The present invention can be applied to fields such as detonation propulsion.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A detonation vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of multiple unit bodies, including a vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of pulse detonation engine unit bodies, a vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of rotating detonation engine unit bodies, and a vector propulsion scheme based on the hybrid combination of pulse detonation engine unit bodies and rotating detonation engine unit bodies.

[0009] The vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of pulse detonation engine units includes multiple pulse detonation engine units. The multiple pulse detonation engine units are arranged in axial symmetry or central symmetry. During the process of all pulse detonation engine units working in the same state, additional control torque is obtained by shutting down individual pulse detonation engine units or changing the supply conditions of individual pulse detonation engine units, so as to achieve vector propulsion.

[0010] The vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of rotating detonation engine units includes multiple rotating detonation engine units. The multiple rotating detonation engine units are arranged in axial symmetry or central symmetry. During the process of all rotating detonation engine units working in the same state, additional control torque is obtained by shutting down individual rotating detonation engine units or changing the supply conditions of individual rotating detonation engine units, so as to achieve vector propulsion.

[0011] The vector propulsion scheme based on the hybrid combination of pulse detonation engine units and rotating detonation engine units includes a rotating detonation engine unit and multiple pulse detonation engine units. The combustion chamber channel configuration of the rotating detonation engine unit is in axial symmetry or central symmetry structure. The rotating detonation engine unit does not participate in the generation of vector thrust and only maintains the axial thrust required by the aircraft. The multiple pulse detonation engine units are arranged in axial symmetry or central symmetry, and their axis of symmetry or center of symmetry coincides with the axis of symmetry or center of symmetry of the combustion chamber channel configuration of the rotating detonation engine unit. During the process of all pulse detonation engine units working in the same state, additional control torque is obtained by shutting down individual pulse detonation engine units or changing the supply conditions of individual pulse detonation engine units, so as to achieve vector propulsion.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] By adopting a detonation vector propulsion scheme based on the combination of multiple units proposed by the present invention, additional control torque is obtained by regulating the working state of individual units, so as to achieve the vector propulsion effect. Thus, vector thrust can be generated without introducing a vector nozzle that has disadvantages such as affecting the internal flow field of the engine and complex control strategies. The present invention can be applied to fields such as detonation vector propulsion. Description of the drawings
