Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aviation engines, and in particular to a device for improving the cooling of inner and outer rings of an APU flame tube. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of the thrust-to-weight ratio of aviation gas turbine engines, combustion chamber design is developing towards high temperature rise and high heat capacity. The combustion temperature in the combustion chamber of modern aircraft engines can reach over 2000 degrees Celsius and the pressure can reach up to 30 atmospheres. As the place where combustion is organized, the flame tube works in a high temperature and high pressure environment for a long time, and is subject to great thermal stress, creep stress and fatigue stress. Therefore, the life and reliability of the flame tube become one of the key components that determine the life and reliability of the engine. The flame tube is generally made of high-temperature resistant alloys, but the current temperature resistance of metal materials is below 1000 degrees Celsius, which is far lower than the gas temperature. Moreover, the temperature resistance of metal materials has increased much slower than the gas temperature in recent decades. Therefore, relying solely on materials for thermal protection is far from meeting the requirements, and effective cooling of the flame tube is imperative.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used cooling technologies for the flame tube wall are mainly convection cooling (including impingement cooling) and film cooling. However, in high thrust-to-weight ratio engines, the enhanced cooling of the high temperature rise and high heat capacity combustion chamber wall faces a very prominent contradiction: on the one hand, the increase in the combustion chamber temperature increases the amount of air involved in combustion, resulting in a decrease in the amount of air used for cooling; on the other hand, the increase in compressor outlet temperature increases the temperature of the air used to cool the flame tube wall, resulting in a decrease in cooling potential, thus placing higher requirements on the flame tube wall cooling technology. Improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling air is particularly important and urgently needs to be solved. This problem must be solved by adopting innovative technologies.
[0004] In addition, the factors that have a greater impact on the life of the flame tube mainly come from the size of the thermal stress. Therefore, when implementing cooling technology, it is necessary not only to consider reducing the temperature of the flame tube wall, but also to reduce the temperature gradient of the flame tube wall to prevent excessive thermal stress in the flame tube due to excessive temperature gradient, thereby causing cracks, falling blocks, deformation and other faults in the flame tube. In order to further improve the wall cooling effect of the combustion chamber flame tube, researchers at home and abroad have developed a variety of cooling methods. These cooling technologies have undoubtedly brought about improvements in the cooling effect, but a common problem of these cooling structures is that the consumption of cold air is too large, and the overall temperature distribution of the flame tube is not uniform, resulting in large thermal stress. Therefore, how to carefully tap the cooling capacity of the cold air and reduce the thermal stress of the flame tube plate has become a challenge facing existing technologies;
[0005] To this end, there is a publicly available technology on the market that proposes a cooling structure for the flame tube of an aircraft engine combustion chamber, including a flame tube wall panel, wherein the flame tube wall panel includes an outer wall panel and an inner wall panel, and a plurality of diverging holes are provided on the inner wall panel, while a plurality of impact holes are provided on the outer wall panel, and each diverging hole and impact hole are distributed in a cross-row manner, and the inner wall panel and the outer wall panel are connected by a plurality of interference flow columns; the flame tube wall panel is axially divided into two parts, namely, a front section flame tube wall panel close to the high-temperature area of the combustion chamber, and a rear section flame tube wall panel away from the high-temperature area of the combustion chamber; the aperture of the front section impact hole on the front section flame tube wall panel is larger than the aperture of the rear section impact hole on the rear section flame tube wall panel, and the aperture of the front section diverging hole on the front section flame tube wall panel is larger than the aperture of the rear section diverging hole on the rear section flame tube wall panel. Therefore, the present invention improves the traditional flame tube wall cooling structure, fully taps its cooling potential without increasing the amount of cold air, improves cooling efficiency, and avoids excessive thermal stress caused by excessively high flame tube wall temperature and uneven distribution;
[0006] The above-mentioned disclosed technology divides the flame tube cooling part into front and rear sections, and changes the cooling effect through different impact hole diameters in the front and rear sections to solve the problem of uneven temperature distribution on the flame tube wall. In fact, when the airflow enters the flame tube through the impact hole and is carried by the high-temperature combustion gas, it is difficult to form a uniform cooling air film on the inner wall of the flame tube, that is, it is impossible to completely cover the inner wall of the flame tube. As a result, a more obvious temperature difference area is formed on the inner wall of the flame tube under long-term use, resulting in excessive thermal stress in the flame tube, thereby causing cracks, falling blocks, deformation and other faults in the flame tube. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the structure of the flame tube cooling device. Summary of the Invention

By providing the first annular groove 9, the wind collecting cover 11 can be installed in the first annular groove 9, thereby reducing the height of the wind collecting cover 11 protruding from the surface of the outer ring sleeve 401, avoiding causing greater resistance to the cooling airflow in the annular channel 5. By controlling the height of the arc 1102 of the wind collecting cover 11 protruding from the outer ring sleeve 401, the flow rate of the cooling airflow diverted to the first air hole 10 can be controlled;
[0038] In order to form a complete annular cooling airflow on the inner wall of the inner ring sleeve 403, a second annular groove 16 is provided on the inner wall of the inner ring sleeve 403, and a second air hole 12 is provided inside the second annular groove 16.

[0039] Example 2
[0040] In order to form a complete annular cooling airflow on the inner wall of the inner ring sleeve 403, the inner wall of the inner ring sleeve 403 is provided with a second annular groove 16, and the second air hole 12 is arranged inside the second annular groove 16. The second annular groove 16 is connected with the inside of the impact cavity 8 through the second air hole 12. The air guide structure is arranged on the inner wall of the second annular groove 16. The air guide structure includes a first guide ring 13 and a second guide ring 14. The first guide ring 13 and the second guide ring 14 are arranged in sequence on the inner wall of the second annular groove 16 in a front-to-back distribution. An annular dispensing port 15 is formed between the first guide ring 13 and the second guide ring 14. The annular dispensing port 15 is connected with the second air hole 12. The inner diameter of the first guide ring 13 and the inner diameter of the second guide ring 14 are consistent with the inner diameter of the inner ring sleeve 403. The first guide ring 13 and the second guide ring 14 are both made of three semicircular rings. The first guide ring 13 and the second guide ring 14 are made of silicon nitride ceramics. The outer wall of the first guide ring 13 is sequentially provided with a first plane section 1301 and a first conical section 1302 in a front-to-back distribution. The inner wall of the second guide ring 14 is sequentially provided with a second conical section 1401 and a second plane section 1403 in a front-to-back distribution. A transition arc 1402 is provided between the second conical section 1401 and the second plane section 1403. The second conical section 1401 is away from the first conical section 1301. One end of the second planar section 1403 is aligned with the rear edge of one end of the second air hole 12 located inside the second annular groove 16. The angles between the outer wall of the first conical section 1302 and the axis of the cylinder 4, and the inner wall of the second conical section 1401 and the axis of the cylinder 4 in the side view of the cylinder 4 are six degrees. The annular dispersing port 15 is arranged between the opposite sides of the first conical section 1302 and the second conical section 1401. The vertical distance between the opposite sides of the first conical section 1302 and the second conical section 1401 is one-fifth of the aperture of the second air hole 12. The cooling airflow enters the annular dispersing port 15 from the impact chamber 8 through the second air hole 12, and passes through the annular dispersing port 15.

The vertical distance between the opposite sides of the first conical section 1302 and the second conical section 1401 is one-fifth of the aperture of the second air hole 12, so that the blown cooling air film is thicker than the airflow generated in the first embodiment and the cooling effect is better. However, the amount of cooling airflow used is larger than that in the first embodiment, and can be flexibly selected according to the cooling requirements.
[0041] Working principle: The support ring 6 is used to support and fix the combustion chamber casing 1 and the barrel 4. After the inner ring plate and the outer ring plate of the support ring 6 are supported by multiple groups of support plates 7, a larger circulation space is formed, which minimizes the flow resistance of the fixed structure of the combustion chamber casing 1 and the barrel 4 to the cooling airflow. The first air holes 10 and the second air holes 12 relative to each other inside and outside enable the cooling airflow to flow smoothly. By constraining the relationship between the distance between the front and rear adjacent first air holes 10 and the second air holes 12 and the aperture of the first air holes 10 and the second air holes 12, it can effectively ensure that the cooling airflow blown out from the annular emission port 15 can cover the distance, so as to achieve the purpose of full coverage protection. By setting the first annular groove 9, the wind collecting cover 11 can be installed in the first annular groove 9, thereby reducing the height of the wind collecting cover 11 protruding from the surface of the outer ring sleeve 401, avoiding causing greater resistance to the cooling airflow in the annular channel 5, and by controlling the arc of the wind collecting cover 11 to find 1102 protruding from the outer ring The height of the sleeve 401 can control the flow rate of the cooling air flow diverted to the first air hole 10. The four-degree angle between the outer wall of the first conical section 1302 and the axis of the cylinder 4, and the inner wall of the second conical section 1401 and the axis of the cylinder 4, combined with the vertical distance between the opposite sides of the first conical section 1302 and the second conical section 1401 is one-tenth of the aperture of the second air hole 12, makes the blown cooling air film thinner but has a high airflow pressure and is not easily blown away. When there is a six-degree angle between the outer wall of the first conical section 1302 and the axis of the cylinder 4, and the inner wall of the second conical section 1401 and the axis of the cylinder 4, the vertical distance between the opposite sides of the first conical section 1302 and the second conical section 1401 is one-fifth of the aperture of the second air hole 12, so that the blown cooling air film is thicker than the airflow generated in Example 1, and the cooling effect is better, but the amount of cooling airflow used is larger than that in Example 1, and can be flexibly selected according to cooling requirements.
[0042] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
