[0022] The technical solution of this invention patent is: a pre-cooled engine stator blade structure, which can reduce the engine intake air temperature and improve the engine space utilization rate. It includes compressor stator blades 1, a casing 2, a duct 3, a cooling medium inlet pipe 4, and a gas collection pipe 5. Wherein:

[0023] The casing 2 is cylindrical, and the number of stator blades 1 ranges from 20 to 30. Each stator blade 1 is fixed to the inner wall of the casing 2 at one end and suspended at the other end. Multiple stator blades 1 are evenly distributed radially on the inner wall of the casing 2. When each stator blade 1 is a planar blade, the plane it is located on can be parallel to the axial direction of the casing 2.

[0024] Cooling medium inlet pipe 4 is circumferentially wrapped around the outer wall of casing 2 at certain intervals; cooling medium inlet pipe 4 is connected to cooling medium reservoir.

[0025] Gas collection pipe 5 is circumferentially encircled by the outer wall of casing 2 at certain intervals; gas collection pipe 5 is connected to afterburner chamber.

[0026] Each stator blade 1 is equipped with a closed rotary precooling channel 7. One end of the rotary precooling channel 7 is the starting end, and the other end is the discharge end. Each starting end is connected to the cooling medium input pipe 4 through the conduit 3, so that the cooling medium in the cooling medium input pipe 4 is introduced into the rotary precooling channel 7. Each discharge end is connected to the gas collection pipe 5 through the conduit 3, so that the cooling medium after heat exchange in the rotary precooling channel 7 is discharged to the gas collection pipe 5.

[0027] The number of stator blades ranges from 20 to 30. To avoid resonance between adjacent components, the number of blades is generally odd.

[0028] Rotary precooling channel 7 is a rotary closed channel machined on the stator blade. Its structure consists of a cooling channel with a diameter D of 5% to 15% of the maximum thickness of the blade profile machined inside the blade, and the hole spacing (the distance between adjacent straight sections of the channel) is 2D to 4D.

[0029] The rotary precooling channel 7 is machined on the surface of the stator blade, and the three-dimensional shape of its outer envelope is consistent with the blade shape of the corresponding area of ​​the blade. The length of each straight section of the rotary precooling channel 7 is at least three-fifths of the length from the blade root to the blade tip on the stator blade, and the distance between the outer envelope of the rotary precooling channel 7 and the leading and trailing edges of the stator blade is at least 3D to 4D. The leading edge refers to the end of the stator blade facing the airflow, which is the part of the blade that first contacts the airflow; the trailing edge refers to the end of the stator blade facing away from the airflow, which is the part of the blade where the airflow leaves the blade.

[0030] The distance between the cooling medium inlet pipe 4 and the outer wall of the casing 2 is 5-8 mm;

[0031] The distance between the gas collection pipe 5 and the outer wall of the casing 2 is 5-8 mm.

[0032] Gas collection pipe 5 is connected to the afterburner to perform secondary combustion of the gas after heat exchange.

[0033] The casing and the stator blades are integrally molded. The cooling medium inlet pipe 4, the gas collection pipe 5, and the conduit 3 are integrally molded.

[0034] In the stator blade structure of the pre-cooled engine described above: the stator blade and the casing are integrally machined.

[0035] In the stator blade structure of the pre-cooled engine described above: each stator blade 1 has a continuous rotary pre-cooling channel in the middle, with the two ends referred to as the starting end 6 and the discharge end 8, respectively.

[0036] In the above-mentioned stator blade structure of a pre-cooled engine: the starting end 6 on each stator blade is connected to the cooling medium input pipe 4 through the conduit 3.

[0037] In the stator blade structure of the pre-cooled engine described above: the vent end 8 on each stator blade is connected to the gas collection pipe 5 through the conduit 3.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the cooling medium inlet pipe 4 is connected to the starting end of the rotational precooling channel inside the stator blade via the conduit 3. The gas collection pipe 5 is connected to the outlet end of the rotational precooling channel inside the stator blade via the conduit 3.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the cooling medium enters the closed rotary precooling channel 7 from the starting end 6 and exchanges heat with the air passing through the stator blades. After heat exchange, the medium is discharged from the blade channel through the discharge end 8 and enters the gas collection pipe 5.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the cooling medium storage tank is connected to the cooling medium input pipe 4 through valves and pipelines; the cooling medium input pipe 4 is connected to the rotary precooling channel 7 through conduit 3; the gas collection pipe 5 introduces the heat-exchanged medium (gas hydrogen) into the afterburner for secondary combustion through valves and pipelines.

[0041] Before starting, helium is introduced into the pre-cooling channel 7 of the stator blades through the cooling medium inlet pipe 4 to purge the air from the pipe. Then, cooling medium is introduced into the channel to pre-cool the compressor guide vanes. After the engine starts, air flows through the compressor stator blades for heat exchange. The cooled air is then pressurized by the compressor and enters the combustion chamber for combustion. The heat-exchanged medium enters the gas collection pipe 5 through the conduit 3 and finally enters the afterburner for secondary combustion, increasing engine thrust.

[0042] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
