Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of detonation engines, and specifically to an axially symmetric detonation injection engine. Background Art
[0002] Detonation injection engines such as pulse detonation engines and rotating detonation engines are a new type of power device based on intermittent or continuous detonation combustion, which achieve efficient energy conversion through supersonic combustion waves. Compared with traditional gas turbines or piston engines, detonation injection engines theoretically have higher thermal efficiency, simple structure, and high thrust-to-weight ratio. However, the prior art faces the following core problems in practical applications and urgently needs to be solved through structural innovation;
[0003] Traditional detonation injection engines mostly use a single combustion chamber. The impact force generated by detonation is concentrated on one side of the power output shaft, forming a periodic unidirectional torque, which causes severe vibration, resulting in bearing wear and seal failure, and restricting the stability under high-speed operating conditions;
[0004] In traditional designs, high-temperature gas is directly discharged, and the kinetic energy and heat energy of the exhaust gas are not effectively recovered. The actual thermal efficiency is only 25% - 35%, far lower than the theoretical value. Some solutions attempt to integrate turbines to recover energy, but additional transmission structures are required, increasing complexity;
[0005] Therefore, an axially symmetric architecture and multi-component collaborative innovation are designed to systematically solve the technical problems of traditional detonation injection engines in vibration control, thermal efficiency, heat dissipation, and maintainability, thus requiring the use of this axially symmetric detonation injection engine.

[0026] During the power generation phase, the phase angle of the rotating exhaust power output disc is offset by 15° relative to the fixed exhaust negative disc, and the exhaust back pressure is maintained at 2.5-3.5MPa.

[0080] Embodiment:
[0081] Embodiment 1 (two-cylinder basic type)
[0082] 1. Structure and configuration
[0083] Power output shaft (9): The diameter is 20 mm, made of high-strength alloy steel (such as 42CrMo), and the surface is nitrided to enhance wear resistance. It realizes two-way axial support through 7205 angular contact ball bearings (contact angle 25°, inner diameter 25 mm, outer diameter 52 mm) to adapt to radial and axial loads at high speeds.
[0084] Combustion chamber (2): The unilateral volume is 50 cm 3 , and two sets of combustion components are symmetrically arranged, with a total displacement of 100 cm 3 . The outer wall (15) of the combustion chamber uses a silicon carbide ceramic coating, which can withstand temperatures up to 1400 °C, with a wall thickness of 3 mm, and a swirl guide groove is provided inside to enhance the turbulence of the mixed gas.
[0085] Carburetor (3): Upgraded to an electronic fuel injection system (EFI), the nozzle aperture is 0.2 mm, the pressure is 3.5 MPa, and it is synchronized with the opening phase of the rotating intake disc (6) to ensure that the mixed gas is accurately injected into the combustion chamber within 1 / 4 cycle.
[0086] Rotation disc control: The phase difference between the rotating intake disc (6) and the rotating exhaust power output disc (8) is 90° (1 / 4 cycle), and mechanical linkage is achieved through the synchronizing gear (module 1.5, number of teeth 24) at the end of the power output shaft (9), without an external control mechanism.
[0087] 2. Working parameters
[0088] Rotation speed and ignition: The designed rotation speed of the main shaft is 10,000 RPM. Four ignitions are completed per revolution (360°) (two ignitions for each combustion chamber set), and the ignition frequency is 10,000 times / minute. High-frequency spark plugs are used (discharge frequency 0.1 ms / time, voltage 30 kV).
[0089] Airflow control: The rectangular nozzle (size 10 mm × 4 mm) of the intake disk (6) is opened within 1 / 4 cycle, and the mixed air flow velocity is 80 m / s; when the triangular nozzle (base 8 mm, height 6 mm) of the exhaust disk (8) is opened, the exhaust gas injection velocity reaches 450 m / s, generating a reaction torque of 120 N·m.
[0090] Cooling system: The third-space annular water chamber (width 15 mm) is filled with deionized water, and the circulating flow rate is 5 L / min. The heat transfer efficiency is improved through the fin structure (height 5 mm, pitch 2 mm) on the outer wall (15) of the combustion chamber, and the water temperature is controlled below 80 °C.
[0091] 3. Performance
[0092] Power output: The energy for each explosion injection work is 2.7 J. The theoretical power is (2.7 J × 10,000 times / 60 s) × 2 cylinders = 900 W. When the mechanical efficiency is 85%, the measured output is 765 W, which is equivalent to the power density of a 750 W class of a traditional four-stroke eight-cylinder engine (displacement 400 cm 3 ).
[0093] Vibration control: The axial symmetric layout cancels out the radial forces with each other, and the remaining vibration amplitude < 0.02 mm (@10,000 RPM), and no shock-absorbing supports are required.
[0094] Application scenarios: As a range extender of 3 kW class, it is adapted to pure electric vehicles (such as a battery pack of 80 kWh, and the cruising range is increased by 150 km), or as a backup power source to drive a 5 kVA AC generator.
[0095] Example 2 (Eight-cylinder high-power type)
[0096] 1. Extended design
[0097] Multi-cylinder parallel connection: Along the axial extension of the power output shaft (9), four groups of combustion / exhaust components (a total of eight cylinders) are symmetrically arranged. The single-cylinder volume is expanded to 100 cm 3 , and the total displacement is 800 cm 3 . The combustion chamber (2) adopts a segmented ceramic inner lining, and each cylinder is independently ignition-controlled.
[0098] Enhanced cooling: The water-cooling chamber (12) is upgraded to a double-loop system. The main loop (flow rate 20 L / min) cools the combustion chamber, and the secondary loop (flow rate 10 L / min) cools the exhaust disk (8). The fin area is increased to 4 times that of the basic type, and the heat dissipation efficiency is increased by 300%.
[0099] Power integration: A brushless DC generator (rated voltage 48V, maximum current 200A) is embedded in the middle of the impeller (4). The power generation / electric mode is switched through a solid-state relay. When used as a starter, it can output a short-term torque of 200 N·m (lasting for 30 s).
[0100] 2. High-performance parameters
[0101] Speed and power: The operating speed is 15,000 RPM. The energy of a single explosion injection for work is 5.4 J (when the cylinder volume is doubled). The theoretical power is (5.4 J × 15,000 / 60 × 8) = 108 kW, and the actual output is 92 kW (efficiency 85%). It is matched with a 100 kW marine propulsion system (thrust is about 12 kN when the propeller efficiency is 70%).
[0102] Fuel adaptation: Supports multiple fuels (gasoline, ethanol, liquefied petroleum gas). The air-fuel ratio is dynamically adjusted through EFI (12:1 - 18:1), and the knocking rate < 0.1%.
[0103] Structure reinforcement: The diameter of the power output shaft (9) is increased to 35 mm, and the material is upgraded to titanium alloy (TC4). The critical speed is increased to 25,000 RPM. The rotating disks (6 / 8) are made of carbon fiber composite material (tensile strength 1.5 GPa), and the mass is reduced by 40%.
[0104] 3. Application examples
[0105] Ship propulsion: Adapted to 10-meter speedboats, the dual engines in parallel output 184 kW, and the maximum speed is 35 knots (fuel consumption is 22% lower than that of diesel engines with the same power).
[0106] Generator set: The eight-cylinder unit is combined with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (efficiency 95%), continuously outputs 87 kW, and can be used as the core power source of a microgrid in remote areas.
[0107] Industrial power: Drives a centrifugal compressor (pressure ratio 4:1, flow rate 120 m 3 / min) for natural gas boosting and transportation.
[0108] Key technological innovations in the embodiment
[0109] Phase synchronization mechanism
[0110] The rotating disks (6 / 8) are rigidly connected through the main shaft gear and the driven gear (speed ratio 1:1) to ensure a constant phase difference of 90°. The gear backlash < 0.01 mm, which is guaranteed by high-precision wire cutting to avoid gas leakage or timing disorder.
[0111] Dynamic seal design
[0112] A graphite-ceramic composite sealing ring (thickness 0.5 mm) is used between the intake / exhaust disc and the fixed disc (5 / 7), and a pre-tightening force spring (stiffness 50 N / mm) compensates for thermal expansion, with a leakage rate <0.5% @ 10,000 RPM.
[0113] Utilization of explosion and jet recoil
[0114] The exhaust gas is accelerated to supersonic speed (Mach number 1.2) through a triangular nozzle, and by using the Laval nozzle effect, the conversion efficiency of thermal energy into kinetic energy is increased to 35% (about 25% for traditional turbines).
[0115] Modular expansion interface
[0116] The combustion chamber assembly is flange-connected (ISO 5211 standard), allowing for quick increase or decrease of the number of cylinders; the power output shaft (9) has a spline interface reserved (DIN 5480), supporting direct drive for multi-engine parallel connection or additional equipment (such as a hydraulic pump).
[0117] Experimental verification data
[0118]
[0119] Conclusion
[0120] Through the axial symmetry layout and the timing control of the rotating disc, the two embodiments achieve efficient power output of the pistonless engine. Embodiment 1 verifies the basic feasibility, and Embodiment 2 demonstrates the engineering potential of modular expansion. Its power density and fuel economy are significantly better than those of traditional internal combustion engines, and it is suitable for special power scenarios with high rotational speed and low vibration.
