Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aviation engines, in particular to a structural compensator with an air film cooling and heat insulation screen. Background Art
[0002] In order to ensure the reliability and service life of the engine combustion chamber, the outer wall of the combustion chamber must be cooled. As a highly efficient cooling technology, the cooling technology of the heat shield has developed rapidly. From the earliest flat plate (cylindrical) heat shield to the transverse corrugated heat shield, and then to the now widely used longitudinal corrugated heat shield, it has achieved good results in reducing wall temperature and reducing thermal stress.
[0003] The earliest heat shields were flat, also called cylindrical, with slots along their axial cross-section at the junctions between each segment to allow cooling air to pass through. The film holes in these early cylindrical shields primarily absorbed the energy of pressure pulsations and prevented oscillatory combustion. However, for modern high-performance afterburners, the overall film cooling efficiency of the heat shield is low, necessitating additional cooling air, which cannot meet the requirements of advanced afterburner technology.
[0004] The afterburner is a critical component of advanced military aircraft engines, significantly enhancing the instantaneous thrust and maneuverability of military aircraft. However, in afterburner mode, the combustion gases in the afterburner reach temperatures as high as 2300K, far exceeding the maximum heat resistance of the afterburner's metal barrel. The combustor also generates additional thrust by mixing residual oxygen from the turbine exhaust with air in the duct. The airflow at the tail of the combustor is characterized by low pressure, high velocity, and a harsh operating environment, resulting in intense pressure pulses during combustion. Furthermore, compared to the main combustor and turbine components, the tail of the combustor experiences higher temperatures, a larger wall cooling area, less cooling air, and severe thermal deformation.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of groups of mounting holes 3 are evenly spaced apart on one side wall of the front flange 1 and the rear flange 2 away from each other, so as to facilitate connection of the front flange 1 and the rear flange 2 with the combustion chamber through the mounting holes 3 .
[0026] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the connection assembly 5 includes a connection bolt 501 threadedly connected to the connection hole 4, and a gasket 502 is sleeved on the outside of the connection bolt 501, which can prevent the connection bolt 501 from loosening.
[0027] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, a lug 503 is provided at the top of the bottom end of the connecting bolt 501. The lug 503 is a "F"-shaped structure, and the connecting bolt 501 passes through the lug 503. The front guide tube 6 is located between the gasket 502 and the lug 503. The front guide tube 6 overlaps with the rear guide tube 7, making it convenient to install the front guide tube 6 and the rear guide tube 7 on the front flange 1 and the rear flange 2 respectively through the connecting bolt 501.
[0028] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the lug 503 is connected to the front heat shield 8 by bolts, and the lug 503 is connected to the rear heat shield 9. The front heat shield 8 and the rear heat shield 9 can be connected to the lug 503 respectively, thereby fixing the two.
[0029] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the front heat insulation screen 8 is a Y-shaped structure, and the rear heat insulation screen 9 overlaps the Y-shaped opening of the front heat insulation screen 8, so that the gap between the front heat insulation screen 8 and the rear heat insulation screen 9 can be changed within a small range, the cooling flow loss is small, and the front heat insulation screen 8 and the rear heat insulation screen 9 structure are more stable after being loaded.
