Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a drone booster with a spherical convergent inclined nozzle, belonging to the technical field of drone boosters. Background Art

[0002] Drone boosters often use a frustum-shaped interface placed under the fuselage cover and at a certain angle with the fuselage to ensure that the thrust line of the booster passes through the center of gravity of the drone. This installation method occupies a large space and is difficult to achieve boxed launch. The inclined nozzle booster can make the fuselage parallel to the booster shell, thus reducing space occupation. However, when using a conical or irregular convergent section nozzle, there are problems such as high processing difficulty and high peak ratio. At the same time, to adapt to special environments such as desert areas in some applications, the working temperature of the booster reaches extremely high temperatures (above 70°C), resulting in serious erosion combustion, high thrust peaks, and inability to meet the requirements for stable takeoff of the drone. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a drone booster with a spherical convergent inclined nozzle to solve the deficiencies of the inclined nozzle structure of traditional drone boosters, such as high processing difficulty and high peak ratio.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A drone booster with a spherical convergent inclined nozzle of the utility model includes a combustion chamber, a charge loaded in the inner cavity of the combustion chamber, a front top cover assembly encapsulated at the front end of the combustion chamber, a nozzle assembly arranged at the rear end of the combustion chamber, and a sealing cover encapsulated at the rear end of the nozzle assembly;

[0006] The nozzle assembly includes a hemispherical nozzle front section, an inclined nozzle connected to the spherical surface of the hemispherical nozzle front section with an opening, and a throat liner arranged at the front port of the inclined nozzle; a threaded annular connecting platform is arranged at the outer edge of the front end of the hemispherical nozzle front section, and the nozzle assembly is threadedly connected to the rear end of the combustion chamber through the annular connecting platform; after the drone booster is fixed to the drone, the thrust line of the inclined nozzle passes through the center of gravity of the drone.

[0007] A baffle and a buffer pad are arranged between the front end of the annular connecting platform of the hemispherical nozzle front section and the rear end face of the charge.

[0008] The inclined nozzle is threadedly connected to the hemispherical nozzle front section, and a sealing ring is placed at the threaded connection.

[0009] Advantageous Effects

[0010] The drone booster of the present utility model has an initial peak lower than that of a conventional conical nozzle, which can reduce the wall thickness of the metal shell during design, reduce the manufacturing cost, and reduce the negative mass during the takeoff of the drone. The drone booster of the present utility model has reduced ablation in the converging section of the nozzle, reducing the problem of tearing of the booster shell caused by nozzle ablation.
