Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aero-engines, and particularly relates to an oil nozzle. BACKGROUND

[0002] As one of the important components of the oil supply function, the oil nozzle is the most basic component in the oil system of an aero-engine and a gas turbine, and directly provides lubricating and cooling oil for each fulcrum bearing. In order to enable the oil to pass through the gap of the rotating machinery (the gap of the bearing, etc.), the oil nozzle should not only ensure correct installation so that the oil can be sprayed to the required position, but also provide sufficient spraying speed. In order to take into account the spraying speed and prevent the nozzle hole from being blocked, the hole diameter of the nozzle is generally set to be between 0.6mm and 1.2mm, and when a larger flow is required, multiple nozzles are often used to ensure the flow requirement.

[0003] At present, the oil nozzle used in an aero-engine and a gas turbine generally directly sprays the oil pressurized by a pump set to the fulcrum bearing. This oil nozzle has simple structure and reliable work, but the No. 4 fulcrum bearing and the No. 5 fulcrum bearing inside a certain type of gas turbine belong to the gas generator turbine and the power turbine respectively, and the installation space of the oil nozzle is compact after combined assembly, so it cannot meet the installation of two nozzles with different spraying directions, and thus cannot meet the requirement of simultaneously providing lubricating and cooling oil for the two fulcrum bearings of the gas generator turbine and the power turbine by using the same oil nozzle. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide an oil nozzle to solve or alleviate at least one problem in the background art.

[0006] In at least one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of bolt holes are arranged on the nozzle mounting seat, and the nozzle mounting seat is fixedly connected with the bearing mounting seat through the bolt holes.

[0007] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the positioning section has a circular outer diameter, and the positioning section and the bearing seat mounting hole are in clearance fit, thereby forming a positioning structure of the nozzle body on the bearing seat.

[0008] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the adapter section has a circular outer diameter, and the outer diameter of the adapter section is smaller than the outer diameter of the positioning section, and the adapter section and the positioning section are smoothly connected.

[0009] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the first oil passage has a rectangular cross section, and the first oil passage extends from the oil supply pipe mounting hole to the adapter section.

[0010] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the oil collecting section has a rectangular cross section, and the second oil passage has a rectangular shape, and the cross section of the second oil passage is larger than the cross section of the first oil passage.

[0016] The oil injection nozzle provided by the present application can realize oil injection in two directions, effectively utilize the limited installation space, and complete the use requirements without arranging two oil injection nozzles. At the same time, the nozzle structure design is exquisite and detailed, which puts forward higher requirements for the processing and manufacturing process. If a simple two-nozzle design scheme is selected, the use and maintenance costs will increase accordingly, and the present application can reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to make more detailed description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] The present application provides an oil nozzle capable of realizing two-direction oil injection, which can realize the lubrication and cooling demand of two fulcrum bearings in a narrow space.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , the oil nozzle capable of realizing two-direction oil injection provided by the present application comprises a nozzle body 11, the upper end of the nozzle body 11 is provided with a transversely protruding nozzle mounting seat 12, the nozzle body 11 below the nozzle mounting seat 12 is sequentially formed with a positioning section 13, a switching section 14 and an oil collecting section 15, along the axis of the nozzle body 11, the upper side of the nozzle mounting seat 12 is provided with an oil supply pipe mounting hole 16, the inside of the nozzle body 11 is sequentially provided with a first oil passage 17 and a second oil passage 18 from top to bottom, and the lower end of the nozzle body 11 is provided with a plurality of oil injection holes 19.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16 in this application is a circular stepped hole structure with a specific diameter. The lubricating oil mounting pipe 20 is installed within this circular stepped hole, thereby providing circumferential and radial positioning for the lubricating oil supply pipe 20. Depending on the outer diameter of the lubricating oil supply pipe 20, installation can be ensured by adjusting the inner diameter of the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16 or adding other components. For example, when the size of the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16 machined based on the outer diameter of the lubricating oil supply pipe 20 meets the requirements, the lubricating oil supply pipe 20 can be directly installed within the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16. If the size of the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16 machined based on the outer diameter of the lubricating oil supply pipe 20 does not meet the requirements, an adjustment washer or other structure can be installed on the outside of the lubricating oil supply pipe 20 and then installed within the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16, thereby achieving installation between the lubricating oil supply pipe 20 and the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the nozzle mount 12 in this application has a rectangular or circular cross-section. In this embodiment of the present application, the nozzle mount 12 is rectangular. The nozzle mount 12 is provided with multiple bolt holes 121 for mounting the nozzle body 11 on a bearing seat (not shown). For example, the rectangular nozzle mount 12 in this embodiment of the present application has four bolt holes 121, distributed at the four corners of the rectangle. This nozzle mount 12 radially positions the injector, and the nozzle body 11 is secured to the bearing seat using four bolts. The lower surface of the nozzle mount 12 forms a positioning surface. The tight fit between the positioning surface and the bearing seat ensures that the injector maintains radial clearance with the rotor in the confined space within the combustion engine, preventing collisions between the rotor and stator during operation. It is understood that if the nozzle mount 12 is circular, the bolt holes 121 can be distributed at a certain angle, for example, at 120° or 90°, thereby providing three or four bolt holes 121.

[0030] In this application, the outer diameter of positioning section 13 is circular, and it serves to position nozzle body 11 on the bearing seat, both axially and circumferentially. Positioning section 13 utilizes a specifically sized outer wall surface to create a small clearance with the bearing seat mounting hole, ensuring that the clearance between nozzle body 11 and the stator within the aircraft engine or combustion engine meets operational requirements. In some embodiments of this application, this small clearance can be set to 0.05mm to 0.1mm.

[0031] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the cross section of the adapter section 14 in the present application is circular, and by selecting a specific outer diameter size of the circular cross section, the structural rigidity of the nozzle body 11 can be improved to avoid local deformation during processing and use. In some embodiments of the present application, the outer diameter of the adapter section 14 is smaller than the outer diameter of the positioning section 13, and a circular chamfer or a 45-degree chamfer can be used for smooth transition between the two.

[0032] The first oil passage 17 extends from the oil supply pipe mounting hole 16 to the nozzle direction (i.e. the lower end), and at least extends to the adapter section 14. In the illustrated embodiment of the present application, the first oil passage 17 extends to about the middle of the adapter section 14. The adapter section 14 and the first oil passage 17 jointly form an oil flow passage, and the first oil passage 17 is limited by the assembly space size, and the passage structure is a rectangular cross section.

[0033] In combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the oil collecting section 15 in the present application has a rectangular structure, and the oil collecting section 15 and the second oil passage 18 jointly form an oil collecting area. The upper end of the second oil passage 18 is connected to the first oil passage 17, and the lower end extends to the lower end of the nozzle body 11. The second oil passage 18 is a rectangular cross section, which is convenient for passing through the gap of related accessories to ensure that the bearing is provided with oil in a narrow space. In the present application, the cross section of the second oil passage 18 is larger than that of the first oil passage 17. In the present application, the cross section larger means that at least one of the long side and the short side of the second oil passage 18 is larger than the corresponding long side or short side of the first oil passage 17, and the other side of the second oil passage 18 is not less than the other side of the first oil passage 17.

[0034] In combination Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the bottom surface of the second oil passage 18 is provided with a first oil collecting groove 194 and a second oil collecting groove 195. The first oil collecting groove 194 is located at the upper left corner of the bottom surface of the second oil passage 18, and the second oil collecting groove 195 is located at the lower right corner of the bottom surface of the second oil passage 18. Both are distributed staggered in the width direction and the length direction, and the center lines of the first oil collecting groove 194 and the second oil collecting groove 195 both point to the outside. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the center line of the first oil collecting groove 194 points to the lower left (based on the Figure 6 perspective), and the center line of the second oil collecting groove 195 points to the lower right (based on the Figure 7 perspective).

[0035] The bottom of the nozzle body 11 is respectively provided with an oil injection hole 19 communicating with a first oil collecting groove 194 and a second oil collecting groove 195, wherein the first oil injection hole 191 and the second oil injection hole 192 communicate with the first oil collecting groove 194, and the third oil injection hole 193 communicates with the second oil collecting groove 195. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, the axis of the first oil injection hole 191 is substantially parallel to the center line of the first oil collecting groove 194 or has a small angle therebetween, for example, the small angle can be set to be less than 30 degrees, the axis of the second oil injection hole 192 is substantially perpendicular to the center line of the first oil collecting groove 194 or is in a near-perpendicular state of 80-110 degrees therebetween; the axis of the third oil injection hole 193 is substantially perpendicular to the center line of the second oil collecting groove 195 or is in a near-perpendicular state of 80-110 degrees therebetween.

[0036] In the present application, the third oil injection hole 193 can spray oil to the power turbine fulcrum bearing by distributing design in the width direction of the bottom surface of the nozzle body 11, and the first oil injection hole 191 and the second oil injection hole 192 can jointly spray oil to the gas generator turbine fulcrum bearing. In the present application, the corresponding oil collecting groove is designed in the oil injection hole or the oil injection hole group for different purposes, so as to improve the flow supply capacity.

[0037] In the present application, the oil collecting groove is used in cooperation with the corresponding oil injection hole, the oil flow area of each oil injection hole is calculated, and the diameter of each oil injection hole is adjusted, so as to adjust the axis direction of each oil injection hole and make the oil injection direction meet the design requirements, thereby avoiding the negative influence of the early scattering of the oil mist and the reduction of the oil receiving efficiency (fulcrum bearing).

[0038] The oil injection nozzle provided by the present application can realize oil injection in two directions, can effectively utilize the limited installation space, and does not need to arrange two oil injection nozzles to complete the use requirement. At the same time, the nozzle structure design is exquisite and detailed, and higher requirements are put forward to the processing and manufacturing process. If a simple two-nozzle design scheme is selected, the use and maintenance costs will be increased accordingly, and the present application can reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0039] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application can be easily thought by those skilled in the art, and should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
