Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ramjet engine fuel injection, and particularly to a multi-dimensional variable geometry cross-section support plate and its design method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of ramjet engine fuel injection, the fuel injector plate is one of the important components. Currently, there are two common fuel injection methods for ramjet engines: fuel injector plate injection and wall injection. Fuel injector plate injection refers to a method where a fuel injection channel is pre-set at the corresponding position in the combustion zone, and a cavity matching the fuel injector plate is set. The fuel injector plate is inserted into the cavity, and fuel is injected into the combustion zone near the center through the internal fuel passages of the fuel injector plate and the nozzles on its surface. Wall injection refers to a method where nozzles are opened on the inner wall surface at the injection position in the combustion zone, and fuel is injected from the nozzles into the combustion zone near the inner wall surface.
[0003] Generally, wall-mounted injection is simpler, as it eliminates the need to consider flow resistance. However, the injected fuel, under the influence of the incoming flow, mostly remains near the inner wall, resulting in incomplete fuel mixing and a smaller diffusion range. It is generally suitable for smaller combustion chambers. Support plate injection, on the other hand, penetrates deeper into the combustion chamber, especially for large combustion chambers. The fuel is injected from the center of the flow field into the mainstream through a support plate. This results in more thorough mixing and a wider diffusion range, meeting the uniformity requirements of the downstream combustion flow field. However, the larger the combustion chamber diameter, the longer the support plate penetrates into the combustion chamber. Since the support plate itself is a cantilever structure, the injection process, due to unpredictable factors such as the incoming flow and fuel combustion instability, can negatively impact the structural strength, potentially causing unpredictable consequences for the ramjet engine. Therefore, support plate injection for large combustion chambers places greater demands on the structural strength of the support plate.
[0004] Existing fuel injection support structures lack corresponding designs for combustion chambers of different sizes. Typically, fuel injection support plates are rectangular structures, with adjustments made to lengthen or shorten them to accommodate different combustion chamber sizes. However, while lengthening the support plate, its thickness must be increased to ensure structural strength and stability. This increases material costs. Even with the support plate thickened to the maximum thickness required for the specified blockage ratio in larger combustion chambers, the strength requirements are still not met. Therefore, designing a three-dimensional structure for the support plate is a problem that urgently needs to be solved in the current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The oil spray support plate has a gradually tapering shape from bottom to top, and the oil spray support plate has a diagonal wedge shape in space. The windward and leeward sides of the oil spray support plate have a rounded streamline shape. Multiple oil supply lines are arranged inside the oil spray support plate along the height direction.

[0020] Preferably, the cross-section of the windward side and the cross-section of the side side of the spray plate are both isosceles trapezoids in space.

[0041] A support plate design method of the present invention includes:
[0042] S1. The cross-sectional length of the connection root of the oil spray support plate 2 and the positioning boss 4 is a, the thickness is b, the cross-sectional length of the top of the oil spray support plate 2 is c, the thickness is d, and the insertion depth of the oil spray support plate 2 is h.
[0043] Wherein, dimension a equals the installation opening dimension of combustion chamber 1, and depth h satisfies D is the diameter of combustion chamber 1;
[0044] S2. Under the action of external force F in combustion chamber 1, the stress on the connection root of fuel injection support plate 2 must meet the allowable stress of fuel injection support plate 2 material. Then the thickness b should satisfy: ;
[0045] S3. Based on the known value of b in S2, and given that the fuel injection support plate 2 satisfies the set blockage ratio i, the thickness d should satisfy: ;
[0046] In the above formula, n is the number of spray nozzles 2;

[0048] Working principle:
[0049] S1, the depth h of the support plate inserted into combustion chamber 1, the geometric dimensions a and thickness b of the upper section AA, and the geometric dimensions c and thickness d of the lower section BB. An isosceles trapezoid is proposed with upper base d, lower base b, and height h as the insertion depth. The force on the windward side is F, and the aerodynamic cross-sectional area of the combustion zone is S.
[0050] S2. According to the stress analysis of the support plate, the stress at the lower section is the greatest. Determine the geometric dimensions of the lower section BB of the support plate. The stress σ at the lower section BB is related to the material, cross-sectional shape, and external force F of the support plate. The cross-section of the lower section BB is roughly rectangular with an area of a×b. According to the material mechanical strength design conditions, the stress at the lower section BB satisfies F / (a×b)+(F / 2h) / (ab). 2 / 6)≤[σ]. The length a is determined based on the installation opening size of combustion chamber 1. The insertion depth h is related to the diameter of combustion chamber 1, and the insertion depth h = D / 2 - 10. The allowable stress [σ] is a physical property of the material, and its value is determined under certain working conditions. Therefore, the thickness b should satisfy ah[σ] b 2 -Fhb-3F≤0;
[0051] S3. In order to obtain a smaller flow resistance into combustion chamber 1 and meet the structural strength safety factor of the support plate, i is subject to certain restrictions, usually i≤12%; according to the above steps, i=n(d+b)h / 2S, the thickness d should satisfy: d≤0.24S / nh-b;
[0052] S4. Given that the geometric dimension 'a' is determined based on the installation opening size of combustion chamber 1, and to meet the requirements for bracket installation and fuel injection, 50° ≤ θ ≤80° θ The tilt angles of the spray plate 2 (facing and leeward sides) relative to the base 3 can be further derived. ;
[0053] Geometric dimension a is determined by the opening size of the support plate at its mounting location in combustion chamber 1, and geometric dimensions b, c, and d respectively satisfy... , and This is to ensure that the structural strength of the fuel injection support plate 2 meets the operating requirements of combustion chambers 1 of different sizes.
[0054] Figures 1-10 A multi-dimensional variable geometry cross-section support plate is shown and used in the support plate design method, including: a base 3 for supporting the fuel injection support plate 2, the base 3 is provided with a positioning boss 4 that matches the external combustion chamber cavity 17, and the fuel injection support plate 2 is positioned above the positioning boss 4.
[0055] The oil spray support plate 2 has a gradually tapering shape from bottom to top, and the windward and leeward sides of the oil spray support plate 2 have a rounded streamline shape. Multiple oil supply lines 5 are arranged inside the oil spray support plate 2 along the height direction, and multiple oil spray holes 6 are opened on both sides of the oil spray support plate 2, which are connected to each oil supply line 5.
[0056] Working principle:
[0057] The fuel injection support plate 2 is installed and positioned by the positioning boss 4 on the base 3 and the combustion chamber cavity 17, so that the fuel injection support plate 2 is inserted into the combustion chamber 1. At the same time, the gradual contraction structure from the bottom surface to the top surface of the fuel injection support plate 2 and the arc-shaped streamline shape of the windward and leeward sides, combined with the insertion depth designed according to the diameter of the combustion chamber 1, can reduce the incoming flow resistance and adapt to the airflow characteristics under different working conditions. Meanwhile, multiple fuel supply lines 5 arranged along the height direction inside deliver fuel to multiple fuel injection holes 6 on both sides of the support plate to complete the injection. Each fuel supply line 5 is not a standard circular channel, but a fuel channel with a similar expansion trend as the support plate, extending to the top of the positioning boss 4. The fuel passes through the corresponding fuel supply line 5 inside the support plate and is then sprayed out from the injection hole into the combustion chamber 1 to complete the subsequent mixing and combustion process.
[0058] In the above scheme, the base 3 has an oil supply channel 7 that is connected to each oil supply line 5 inside, and the surface of the base 3 located on the side of the oil injection support plate 2 has an oil inlet 8 that is connected to each oil supply channel 7.
[0059] In this invention, an oil inlet channel 9 communicating with the oil inlet 8 is provided on the side wall of the combustion chamber 1 where it mates with the base 3. Traditionally, the oil inlet channel 9 is located at the bottom of the injection support plate 2. When the injection system is damaged, the external oil inlet pipe and support plate must be removed to remove the injection support plate 2 and replace it, making the replacement process very cumbersome. In this invention, the oil inlet channel 9 is located on the side wall of the combustion chamber 1. A sealing groove I10 is provided at the point where the surface of the combustion chamber cavity 17 mates with the positioning boss 4. A sealing groove II11 is provided on the surface of the side wall of the combustion chamber 1 where it mates with the base 3. A sealing groove III12 is provided at the point where the side wall of the combustion chamber 1 mates with the oil inlet 8. Each of the 8 oil inlets is equipped with an annular boss 16 that extends into the sealing groove Ⅲ12. Each sealing groove Ⅰ10, sealing groove Ⅱ11 and sealing groove Ⅲ12 is equipped with an O-ring 13. At the same time, the connection between the support plate and the combustion chamber 1 is ensured by the connection hole 14 and the connecting bolt 15 between the base 3 and the combustion chamber 1. The connecting bolt 15 presses the O-ring 13, so that the support plate and the combustion chamber 1 achieve a three-level seal, ensuring the sealing effect during oil supply. In addition, if the support plate is damaged, it can be replaced without removing the oil supply line, which speeds up the replacement speed and improves the efficiency of the work.
[0060] In the above technical solution, the frontal and side cross-sections of the fuel injection support plate 2 are both isosceles trapezoids in space. This design, with the two sides of the isosceles trapezoid symmetrically inclined, can further optimize the guiding path of the incoming airflow, avoiding airflow deflection or local vortices caused by cross-sectional asymmetry, and significantly reducing aerodynamic drag. The side isosceles trapezoid, through the difference in size between the upper and lower bases, creates a uniform inclined transition on the side of the support plate. This provides a stable base for the arrangement of the fuel injection holes 6 on both sides, ensuring that the injection direction of the fuel injection holes 6 at different heights matches the airflow direction of the combustion chamber 1, improving fuel atomization and mixing efficiency, and also enhances the mechanical stability of the trapezoidal structure.
[0061] The fuel injection support plate 2 has a positioning surface below it that matches the shape of the combustion chamber cavity 17. The positioning surface on the fuel injection support plate 2 ensures that the support plate can be inserted smoothly, and at the same time makes the connection between the fuel injection support plate 2 and the combustion chamber cavity 17 more stable.
[0062] Although embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and illustrations shown and described herein.
