Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aircraft engine plasma ignition test equipment, in particular to an ignition voltage test device for an aircraft engine ignition nozzle. Background Art

[0002] The ignition nozzle is installed in the engine combustion chamber, converting the transmitted high-voltage electrical pulses into an electric spark to ignite the fuel in the combustion chamber. Excessively high ignition nozzle voltage can cause the nozzle to misfire, resulting in engine starting failure. Therefore, the ignition nozzle's minimum ignition voltage is a critical indicator of the ignition nozzle and must be tested.

[0003] Conventional ignition nozzle firing voltage tests only measure the firing voltage in a laboratory environment, which is significantly different from the engine combustion chamber environment. This can cause the tested firing voltage to differ from the actual operating firing voltage, leading to ignition failure during actual use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an ignition voltage test device for an aircraft engine ignition nozzle that can simulate the engine combustion chamber environment to the greatest extent possible and test the actual ignition voltage of the ignition nozzle used in the engine, with more accurate test results and higher reliability.

[0006] The working principle of this technical solution is that the fuel in the combustion chamber is normally atomized, but in extreme cases it can condense into oil droplets. The ignition voltage test is performed under the most severe fuel and gas environment in the engine combustion chamber, namely, an oil-drip environment. This can maximize the simulation of the engine combustion chamber environment and test the actual ignition voltage of the ignition nozzle when assembled on the engine.

[0008] In order to better realize the present invention, further, a calibration rod parallel to the sliding rod is provided on the bottom plate, and a scale is provided on the calibration rod.

[0009] In order to better realize the present invention, further, the oil cup is filled with RP-3 aviation kerosene, and the RP-3 aviation kerosene is added to 2 / 3 of the capacity of the oil cup. A cup cover detachably connected to the oil cup is also provided on the top of the oil cup.

[0010] In order to better realize the present invention, further, the dripping speed of the oil dripping nozzle is 10 drops / min to 100 drops / min, and the diameter of the dripping oil droplets is Φ2mm to Φ5mm.

[0011] In order to better implement the present invention, further, the base is rectangular, and four leveling screws are provided on the base.

[0012] In order to better implement the present invention, further, the four corners of the base are all rounded.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) Compared with the previous aircraft engine ignition nozzle ignition voltage test, the present invention simulates the engine combustion chamber environment to the greatest extent and tests the actual ignition voltage of the ignition nozzle used in the engine.
