TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of an aero-engine, in particular to an improved APU flame tube inner and outer ring cooling device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increase of the thrust-to-weight ratio of an aero gas turbine engine, the combustion chamber design develops towards high temperature rise and high heat capacity, the combustion temperature in a modern aero-engine combustion chamber is as high as 2000 degrees Celsius or above, and the pressure is as high as 30 atmospheres. As a place for organizing combustion, the flame tube body works in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment for a long time, and has to bear a large thermal stress, creep stress and fatigue stress, so the service life and reliability of the flame tube become one of the key components that determine the service life and reliability of the engine. The flame tube body is generally made of high-temperature resistant alloy, but the current metal material temperature resistance is below 1000 degrees Celsius, which is far lower than the gas temperature; and according to the temperature resistance level of the metal material in recent decades, the temperature resistance level is far lower than the increase speed of the gas temperature, so it is necessary to effectively cool the flame tube by simply relying on the material for heat protection.
[0003] At present, the commonly used cooling technology for the wall surface of the flame tube mainly includes convection cooling (including impact cooling) and gas film cooling. However, in a high thrust-to-weight ratio engine, the intensified cooling of the wall surface of the high temperature rise and high heat capacity combustion chamber faces a very prominent contradiction: on the one hand, the increase of the combustion chamber temperature rise causes the amount of air participating in combustion to increase, thereby reducing the amount of air used for cooling; on the other hand, the increase of the outlet temperature of the compressor causes the temperature of the air used for cooling the wall surface of the flame tube to rise, thereby reducing the cooling potential, so that higher requirements are put forward for the cooling technology of the wall surface of the flame tube, and it is particularly important and urgent to improve the cooling efficiency of the cooling air, which must be solved by adopting an innovative technology.
[0004] In addition, the main factor affecting the service life of the flame tube is the thermal stress. Therefore, when the cooling technology is implemented, not only the temperature of the wall surface of the flame tube should be reduced, but also the temperature gradient of the wall surface of the flame tube should be reduced to prevent the wall surface of the flame tube from cracking, chipping, deforming and other faults caused by excessive thermal stress due to excessive temperature gradient. In order to further improve the wall surface cooling effect of the combustion chamber flame tube, researchers at home and abroad have developed various cooling methods, which undoubtedly improve the cooling effect. However, a common problem of these cooling structures is that the consumption of cooling air is too large, and the temperature distribution of the flame tube is not uniform enough, thereby causing a large thermal stress. Therefore, how to carefully tap the cooling capacity of the cooling air and reduce the thermal stress of the flame tube plate has become a challenge for the existing technology.
[0005] For this purpose, the market has disclosed a kind of cooling structure of aero-engine combustion chamber flame tube, comprising flame tube wallboard, the flame tube wallboard includes outer wallboard and inner wallboard, and a plurality of divergent holes are provided on the inner wallboard, and a plurality of impact holes are provided on the outer wallboard, each divergent hole, impact hole is distributed in the form of staggered, and the inner wallboard and the outer wallboard are connected by a plurality of spoiler columns;The flame tube wallboard is divided into two parts along the axial direction, which are the front section flame tube wallboard close to the high temperature area of the combustion chamber and the rear section flame tube wallboard away from the high temperature area of the combustion chamber;The diameter of the front section impact hole on the front section flame tube wallboard is greater than the diameter of the rear section impact hole on the rear section flame tube wallboard, and the diameter of the front section divergent hole on the front section flame tube wallboard is greater than the diameter of the rear section divergent hole on the rear section flame tube wallboard.Therefore, the present application improves the traditional flame tube wall cooling structure, fully explores the cooling potential under the premise of not increasing the cold gas amount, improves the cooling efficiency, and avoids the excessive thermal stress caused by the high temperature of the flame tube wall surface and the uneven distribution;
[0006] The above-mentioned disclosed technology divides the flame tube cooling part into front and rear sections, changes the cooling effect by different impact hole diameters of the front and rear sections to solve the problem of uneven temperature distribution of the flame tube wall, in fact, the gas flow entering the inside of the flame tube through the impact hole is difficult to form a uniform cooling gas film on the inside wall of the flame tube when it is carried by the high-temperature gas, that is, it cannot completely cover the inside wall of the flame tube, which results in that the inside wall of the flame tube forms a relatively obvious temperature difference area after long-term use, causes excessive thermal stress of the flame tube, and thus causes cracks, chipping, deformation and other faults of the flame tube, therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the structure of the flame tube cooling device.

[0039] Example two
[0040] In order to form a complete annular cooling air flow on the inner side wall of the inner ring sleeve 403, the inner side wall of the inner ring sleeve 403 is provided with a second ring groove 16, the second gas hole 12 is arranged inside the second ring groove 16, the second ring groove 16 is communicated with the inside of the impingement cavity 8 through the second gas hole 12, and a gas guide structure is arranged on the inner side wall of the second ring groove 16. The gas guide structure includes a first guide ring 13 and a second guide ring 14, which are arranged in sequence on the inner side wall of the second ring groove 16 in front and back. The annular diffusion port 15 is formed between the first guide ring 13 and the second guide ring 14, and the annular diffusion port 15 is communicated with the second gas 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 composed of three semicircular rings. The material of the first guide ring 13 and the second guide ring 14 is silicon nitride ceramic. The outer wall of the first guide ring 13 is provided with a first flat section 1301 and a first tapered section 1302 in front and back. The inner side wall of the second guide ring 14 is provided with a second tapered section 1401 and a second flat section 1403 in front and back. The second tapered section 1401 and the second flat section 1403 are provided with a transition arc 1402. The end of the second tapered section 1401 away from the second flat section 1403 is aligned with the rear edge of the end of the second gas hole 12 inside the second ring groove 16. The angle between the outer wall of the first tapered section 1302 and the axis of the cylinder 4 and the inner side wall of the second tapered section 1401 and the axis of the cylinder 4 is six degrees. The annular diffusion port 15 is arranged between the opposite side of the first tapered section 1302 and the second tapered section 1401. The vertical distance between the opposite side of the first tapered section 1302 and the second tapered section 1401 is one fifth of the diameter of the second gas hole 12. The cooling air flow enters the annular diffusion port 15 from the impingement cavity 8 through the second gas hole 12, and forms an annular cooling air film through the annular diffusion port 15, which protects between the high-temperature gas and the inner side wall of the cylinder 4, thereby forming a better protection effect.
