During flow measurement tests on this small two-channel fuel injector, due to limitations in its size (close distance between the two nozzles) and spatial position (a spatial angle between the two nozzles), suitable fuel receiving fixtures are currently lacking, making installation and fixation difficult (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown, the small two-channel fuel injector lacks a suitable mounting structure. To meet the flow rate testing requirements, a small two-channel fuel injector measurement device and method need to be designed to meet the experimental needs of flow rate measurement of aero-engine casing nozzles.

The end of the second threaded connector away from the quick-connect oil nozzle is machined with an external thread. The axial end face of the second threaded connector has a through hole that communicates with the third annular groove to form a second oil passage. Between the third annular groove and the axial end face of the quick-connect oil nozzle away from the internal threaded hole, and on the outer cylindrical surface of the quick-connect oil nozzle, there are also a first groove, a second groove, and a threaded hole. The first groove is perpendicular to the axial direction of the quick-connect oil nozzle, the second groove is parallel to the axial direction of the quick-connect oil nozzle, and the threaded hole penetrates the second groove.

[0040] Working principle analysis of the quick-installation miniature two-channel fuel injector measuring device:

[0041] from Figure 6 As can be seen from this, during the flow measurement test of the quick-installation small two-channel fuel injector in the aero-engine casing, it is not only necessary to install the fuel inlet on the small two-channel fuel injector in the casing, but also to conduct flow measurement tests on the first and second fuel inlets of the small two-channel fuel injector in the casing at the same time.

[0042] Based on the design principles of economy, speed, and convenience, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the small two-channel fuel injector measuring device is designed in two parts, wherein, Figure 2The left end is a threaded nozzle 1, used to measure the flow rate of the first nozzle on the small two-channel fuel injector of the engine casing.

The quick-connect nozzle 5 is installed and fixed on the small two-channel fuel injector of the aero-engine casing by the elastic clamping method on the right end. It can meet the process requirements of flow measurement test of small two-channel fuel injector of aero-engine.

[0043] The working principle of the quick-installation miniature two-channel fuel injector flow measurement device is as follows:

The middle part has a ΦCXDmm annular groove, and the upper end of the ΦCXDmm annular groove has a ΦDmm hole for connecting with the threaded connector to form an oil inlet pipe. At each end of the ΦCXDmm annular groove, there is a ΦEXF annular groove for installing an O-ring 3, making the quick-connect nozzle's ΦCXDmm annular groove a second oil inlet cavity and an independent oil inlet pipe. A vertical groove of Hmm depth and Jmm depth is opened at the left end at Gmm, and a horizontal groove of KX[(A / 2)+L]mm is opened on the ΦAmm cylinder to form an elastic body. A ΦQmm hole is machined at the left end Pmm. The center of the ΦQmm hole and the lower end of the ΦAmm cylinder are M threaded holes used to press the left end elastomer onto the small two-channel fuel injector in the casing. The quick-connect fuel nozzle 5 is made of 20Cr13 material with a hardness of HRC33~38.

[0057] Step 3: Insert the cylindrical head hexagon socket screw 6 into the M threaded hole on the outer cylindrical surface of the quick-connect nozzle 5 and tighten it, so that the part of the quick-connect nozzle 5 between the Jmm groove and the oil inlet of the small two-channel injector reduces the outer diameter of the outer cylinder through the KX[(A / 2)+L]mm groove, thereby clamping the small two-channel injector.

[0058] Step 4: Connect the small two-channel fuel injector, the quick-connect small two-channel fuel injector flow measurement device, and the flow test oil connection pipeline through the internal thread quick-connect coupling 2.
