The igniter is an important component of a solid rocket engine, and its function is to accurately and reliably ignite the grain, so that the engine enters normal operation according to the predetermined requirements. For the performance analysis of igniters, although there are currently some calculation formulas for estimating the ignition charge, the common feature of these formulas is that they focus on considering one or several factors, and the error of the calculation results is relatively large. Therefore, before delivery, all igniters of solid rocket engines need to pass performance tests for acceptance.
[0003] The patent with the publication number CN217739099U discloses a simple test device for a micro igniter, including a combustion chamber housing.

A cover housing is threadedly connected inside the combustion chamber housing, and an igniter body is arranged inside the cover housing. One end of the igniter body is provided with an igniter medicine ring, and a sealing ring is arranged on one side of the igniter medicine ring.

[0023] The following combines the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] As Figures 1 - 3As shown in the figure, the present application provides a performance test tooling for a solid rocket motor igniter. The tooling includes: a combustion chamber simulation part 1, a nozzle simulation part 2, a plug 3, and a sealing ring 4; the nozzle simulation part 2 is connected to the combustion chamber simulation part 1; the sealing ring 4 is arranged at the connection between the nozzle simulation part 2 and the combustion chamber simulation part 1; the plug 3 is connected to the port of the nozzle simulation part 2; the nozzle simulation part 2 has a first cavity inside, the combustion chamber simulation part 1 has a second cavity inside, and the first cavity is communicated with the second cavity; the combustion chamber simulation part 1 is provided with an electric ignition tube interface 5 for installing an electric ignition tube and an igniter interface 6 for installing an igniter. The combustion chamber simulation part 1 is provided with a pressure measurement interface 7 for installing a pressure sensor, and the pressure measurement interface 7 is communicated with the first cavity and the second cavity.
[0025] As a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the combustion chamber simulation part 1 is of a rotary body structure. The head of the combustion chamber simulation part 1 (i.e., the end of the combustion chamber simulation part 1 away from the nozzle simulation part 2) is provided with an igniter interface 6, an electric ignition tube interface 5, and a pressure measurement interface 7. The pressure measurement interface 7 is located beside the electric ignition tube interface 5. Among them, the igniter interface 6 and the electric ignition tube interface 5 are matched with the interfaces used in the solid rocket motor, and the pressure measurement interface 7 is matched with the pressure sensor interface to ensure reliable connection and sealing.
[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, the electric ignition tube interface 5 includes two, and both of the two electric ignition tube interfaces 5 are communicated with the igniter interface 6, and the igniter interface 6 is communicated with the cavity inside the combustion chamber simulation part 1.
[0027] As a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the nozzle simulation part 2 is of a rotary body structure, and the profile of the surface where the plug 3 is bonded is matched with the nozzle profile of the solid rocket motor. The combustion chamber simulation part 1 and the nozzle simulation part 2 are connected by threads, and radial sealing is achieved through the sealing ring 4. The free cavity formed by the combustion chamber simulation part 1, the nozzle simulation part 2, the plug 3 and the igniter installed on the combustion chamber simulation part 1 is kept consistent with the initial free cavity of the solid rocket motor. The initial free cavity of the solid rocket motor refers to the space area that is not occupied and can accommodate fluids (such as gases, liquids, etc.) before the start of a specific working state of the motor.
[0028] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, the plug 3 is bonded to the inner profile of the expansion section of the nozzle simulation part 2 by epoxy glue, so that the plug 3 seals the inner profile of the expansion section of the nozzle simulation part 2. When the air pressure inside the combustion chamber simulation part 1 and the nozzle simulation part 2 is greater than the opening pressure of the plug 3, the plug 3 disengages from the inner profile of the expansion section of the nozzle simulation part 2.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the end face where the nozzle simulation part 2 is connected to the combustion chamber simulation part 1 has a sealing groove, and the sealing ring 4 is installed in the sealing groove.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the combustion chamber simulation part 1 and the nozzle simulation part 2 are threadedly connected. Specifically, one end of the combustion chamber simulation part 1 connected to the nozzle simulation part 2 has internal threads, and one end of the nozzle simulation part 2 connected to the combustion chamber simulation part 1 has external threads. The combustion chamber simulation part 1 is threadedly connected to the external threads of the nozzle simulation part 2 through its internal threads, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the combustion chamber simulation part 1 and the nozzle simulation part 2.
[0031] As a specific embodiment of the present utility model, an annular sealing groove distributed along the circumferential direction is provided on the outer end section of the nozzle simulation part 2. The sealing ring 4 is installed in the sealing groove, and a sealed connection is formed between the sealing ring 4 and the inner end face of the combustion chamber simulation part 1.
[0032] As a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the igniter interface 6 and the electric igniter tube interface 5 are matched with the interfaces used in the solid rocket engine, so that the test tooling for the performance of the fixed rocket engine igniter in this application is applicable to various solid rocket engines.
[0033] As a specific embodiment of the present utility model, a free cavity is formed between the combustion chamber simulation part 1, the nozzle simulation part 2 and the plug 3. After the igniter is installed on the igniter interface 6 on the combustion chamber simulation part 1, the high-temperature gas generated by the igniter fills the free cavity. When the pressure in the free cavity is higher than the opening pressure of the plug 3, the plug 3 is flushed out by the high-temperature gas in the free cavity. The pressure sensor installed at the pressure measurement interface 7 measures the real-time pressure in the free cavity.
[0034] As a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the general assembly state of a test tooling for the performance of a solid rocket engine igniter in this application is to install the igniter at the igniter interface 6 of the combustion chamber simulation part 1, use epoxy glue to bond the plug 3 on the inner profile of the expansion section of the nozzle simulation part 2, then install the sealing ring 4 in the sealing groove of the nozzle simulation part 2 and apply a small amount of lubricating grease, and then threadedly connect the combustion chamber simulation part 1 and the nozzle simulation part 2. Finally, install the electric igniter tube at the electric igniter tube interface 5 of the combustion chamber simulation part 1 and install the pressure sensor at the pressure measurement interface 7.
[0035] As a specific embodiment of the present utility model, during the igniter performance test, the high-temperature gas generated by the igniter fills the free cavity formed after the combustion chamber simulation part 1, the nozzle simulation part 2, the plug 3 and the igniter are installed on the combustion chamber simulation part 1. When the pressure in the free cavity is higher than the opening pressure of the plug 3, immediately the plug 3 is flushed out by the gas. The real-time pressure in the free cavity is measured by the pressure sensor installed at the pressure measurement interface 7 of the combustion chamber simulation part 1 and is used to analyze the performance of the igniter. Reliably and truly simulating the igniter performance test can effectively evaluate the performance of the igniter.
[0036] The beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:
[0037] (1) A performance test tooling for an igniter of a solid rocket motor according to the present application.
