Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of supercavitation drag reduction for underwater vehicles, and specifically relates to a front cavitation control device based on supercavitation technology. Background Art
[0002] China has vast sea areas and rich marine resources. The development and utilization of marine resources rely on advanced marine mechanical equipment, and underwater vehicles are indispensable high-tech tools for marine exploration. At the same time, the enhancement of maritime military strength also requires the research and development of advanced underwater weapons, and the supercavitation drag reduction technology is the key technology for increasing the speed of underwater weapons. Designing advanced supercavitating vehicles is the key to exploring marine resources and enhancing military strength. Supercavitating vehicles are based on the supercavitation principle. On the basis of ordinary vehicles, they utilize the surface cavitation to achieve the purpose of fast navigation and energy conservation.
[0003] However, the existing supercavitating vehicles require a relatively high navigation speed to generate natural supercavitation. However, by using a front cavitation control device and method, it is possible to generate and maintain a supercavitation with a stable shape at a relatively low navigation speed. In view of this, the utility model designs a front cavitation control device based on supercavitation technology to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a front cavitation control device based on supercavitation technology, which effectively solves the problems raised in the above background art.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A front cavitation control device based on supercavitation technology, including a cavitator, the cavitator is located at the very front end of the vehicle, the cavitator is provided with annularly arranged cavitator microholes, the right end of the cavitator is fixedly connected with an outer conical section body, the outer conical section body is provided with annularly arranged outer conical section body microholes, an inner conical section sleeve one is arranged inside the outer conical section body, an air vent sleeve is arranged inside the inner conical section sleeve one, a gas storage is arranged at the right end of the air vent sleeve, an air pump is arranged at the end of the body storage, and the air vent sleeve is fixedly connected with the cavitator, the outer conical section body, the inner conical section sleeve one and the gas storage.
[0006] Preferably, an inner conical section sleeve two is arranged at the right end of the inner conical section sleeve one, an inner conical section sleeve three is arranged at the right end of the inner conical section sleeve two, and an inner conical section sleeve four is arranged on the right side of the inner conical section sleeve three.
[0007] Preferably, a control box is fixed inside the inner conical section sleeve one, the inner conical section sleeve two, the inner conical section sleeve three and the inner conical section sleeve four.
[0008] Preferably, a plurality of micro-holes are provided on each of the first embedded tapered sleeve, the second embedded tapered sleeve, the third embedded tapered sleeve, and the fourth embedded tapered sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, the first embedded tapered sleeve, the second embedded tapered sleeve, the third embedded tapered sleeve, and the fourth embedded tapered sleeve are all in close contact with the inner wall of the outer tapered section body. Each embedded tapered sleeve is composed of two layers, and an air cavity is formed between every two layers of the embedded tapered sleeves.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0011] (1) By connecting the cavitator, the outer tapered section body, the embedded tapered sleeves, and the gas storage device through the ventilation sleeve, the present utility model can transport the gas generated by the air pump through the gas storage device and the ventilation sleeve to the air cavity between the cavitator and the double-layer structure of the embedded tapered sleeves, so as to realize gas storage and facilitate the output of gas.
[0012] (2) The double-layer structure combination of the embedded tapered sleeves of the present utility model can be controlled by the control box to rotate along the symmetry axis of the vehicle. When the embedded tapered sleeve rotates to the working condition where the micro-holes of the embedded tapered sleeve overlap with the micro-holes of the outer tapered section body, the gas can be released outward. When rotating to the working condition where the micro-holes of the embedded tapered sleeve do not overlap with the micro-holes of the outer tapered section body, the gas cannot be released outward. Combined with the multi-stage setting of the embedded tapered sleeves, the gas can be released outward in a multi-stage and controllable manner, thus ensuring the accuracy of gas release.
[0013] (3) By cooperating with the air pump and the gas storage device, the present utility model can generate gas for extending and maintaining the supercavitation shape, thus ensuring the gas release effect. Description of the Drawings

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Embodiment 1 is given by Figures 1 - 2 The present utility model includes a cavitator 1, the cavitator 1 is located at the very front end of the vehicle, the cavitator 1 is used to induce the generation of natural cavitation bubbles, the cavitator 1 is provided with an annular array of micro-holes 12 in the cavitator, the micro-holes 12 in the cavitator are used to release the gas generated by the air pump 9, the right end of the cavitator 1 is fixedly connected to an outer conical section body 2, the outer conical section body 2 is used to fix the whole device, the outer conical section body 2 is provided with an annular array of micro-holes 13 in the outer conical section body, the micro-holes 13 in the outer conical section body are used to release air, an inner conical section sleeve one 4 is arranged inside the outer conical section body 2, a ventilation sleeve 3 is arranged inside the inner conical section sleeve one 4, a gas storage 6 is arranged at the right end of the ventilation sleeve 3, the gas storage 6 is used to store the gas released by the air pump 9, the gas storage 6 and the ventilation sleeve 3 are used to convey air, an air pump 9 is arranged at the end of the gas storage 6, and the ventilation sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the cavitator 1, the outer conical section body 2, the inner conical section sleeve one 4 and the gas storage 6.
[0024] Embodiment 2 is based on Embodiment 1 and is given by Figures 3 - 5Given that the right end of the first inner tapered sleeve 4 is provided with the second inner tapered sleeve 5, the right end of the second inner tapered sleeve 5 is provided with the third inner tapered sleeve 7, the right side of the third inner tapered sleeve 7 is provided with the fourth inner tapered sleeve 8, and a control box 11 is fixed inside the first inner tapered sleeve 4, the second inner tapered sleeve 5, the third inner tapered sleeve 7, and the fourth inner tapered sleeve 8. The first inner tapered sleeve 4, the second inner tapered sleeve 5, the third inner tapered sleeve 7, and the fourth inner tapered sleeve 8 can rotate independently along the axis of symmetry of the vehicle through the control box 11. A plurality of micro-holes 10 of the inner tapered sleeve are provided on the first inner tapered sleeve 4, the second inner tapered sleeve 5, the third inner tapered sleeve 7, and the fourth inner tapered sleeve 8. The first inner tapered sleeve 4, the second inner tapered sleeve 5, the third inner tapered sleeve 7, and the fourth inner tapered sleeve 8 are all in close contact with the inner wall of the outer tapered body 2. Each inner tapered sleeve is composed of two layers, and an air cavity is formed between the two layers of the inner tapered sleeve. The inner tapered sleeve can rotate along the axis of symmetry of the vehicle under the control and adjustment of the control box;
[0025] When using this device, when the vehicle is running, the cavitator 1 induces the generation of natural cavitation bubbles, and then the air pump 9 starts to work to generate gas. The gas passes through the gas storage device 6 and the ventilation sleeve 3 and then reaches the cavitator 1, where the gas can be released outward through the micro-holes of the cavitator. The gas also passes through the ventilation sleeve 3 and reaches the air cavities formed by the double-layer structures of the first inner tapered sleeve 4, the second inner tapered sleeve 5, the third inner tapered sleeve 7, and the fourth inner tapered sleeve 8. Each stage of the inner tapered sleeve can perform a rotational motion under the hierarchical control of the control box 11. When the inner tapered sleeve rotates to an overlapping area between the micro-holes 10 of the inner tapered sleeve and the micro-holes 13 of the outer tapered body, the gas can be released outward from this stage of the inner tapered sleeve. On the contrary, when the inner tapered sleeve rotates to a non-overlapping area between the micro-holes 10 of the inner tapered sleeve and the micro-holes 13 of the outer tapered body, the gas cannot be released from this stage of the inner tapered sleeve. Based on this, according to the cavitation bubble morphology during the operation of the vehicle, the hierarchical control of gas release is realized through this device, thereby maintaining the stability of the cavitation bubbles.
[0026] The working process of the present utility model is as follows: when using this device, when the vehicle is running, the cavitator 1 induces the generation of natural cavitation bubbles, and then the air pump 9 starts to work to generate gas. The gas passes through the gas storage device 6 and the ventilation sleeve 3 and then reaches the cavitator 1. At this time, the gas can be released outward through the micropores of the cavitator. The gas also passes through the ventilation sleeve 3 and reaches the air cavities formed by the double-layer structures of the inner embedded conical section sleeve one 4, the inner embedded conical section sleeve two 5, the inner embedded conical section sleeve three 7, and the inner embedded conical section sleeve four 8. Each stage of the inner embedded conical section sleeve can be controlled by the control box 11 to perform a rotational movement in a hierarchical manner. When the inner embedded conical section sleeve rotates to an overlapping area between the micropores 10 of the inner embedded conical section sleeve and the micropores 13 of the outer conical section body, the gas can be released outward from this stage of the inner embedded conical section sleeve. On the contrary, when the inner embedded conical section sleeve rotates to a non-overlapping area between the micropores 10 of the inner embedded conical section sleeve and the micropores 13 of the outer conical section body, the gas cannot be released from this stage of the inner embedded conical section sleeve. Based on this, according to the cavitation bubble morphology during the operation of the vehicle, the hierarchical control of gas release is realized through this device, so as to maintain the stability of the cavitation bubbles.
