Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pulse engine testing, in particular to a pulse engine hard isolation device pressure-bearing opening performance detection tester. Background Art
[0002] As a key component of the pulse engine, the isolation device is not only required to meet the requirements of thermal insulation and pressure resistance to withstand the high temperature and high pressure gas during the operation of pulse I, but also to be able to reliably open during pulse II operation, so that the high temperature and high pressure gas generated by the pulse II combustion chamber can smoothly pass through the pulse isolation device, then fill the pulse I combustion chamber, and finally be ejected after acceleration through the nozzle to obtain secondary thrust. While meeting the conditions for the use of the isolation device, it is necessary to rationally select lightweight component materials and compact inter-stage isolation methods, which are crucial to reducing the negative mass of the pulse engine. This requires the design of a new and simple isolation device pressure and opening performance tester to facilitate rapid and multiple iterations during the isolation device design process, while also facilitating the performance testing of each batch of isolation devices.
[0003] Existing isolation device pressure and opening performance testers are commonly used thick-walled testers with complex structures, large sizes, and relatively heavy weights. Furthermore, assembly of the tester is complex, difficult, and time-consuming. During the hot opening process, a square billet of a charge (cut by hand) must be attached to the inner wall of the tester. This process, when performed using the billet, exhibits poor consistency and severely absorpts thermal insulation, impacting interior ballistics when reused. Furthermore, the tester utilizes a flanged bolt connection structure with a high number of bolts, making assembly complex and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a pulse engine hard isolation device pressure opening performance detection tester to solve the problems of complex structure, large workload and high cost of existing testers.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, one of the purposes of the present utility model is to provide a pulse engine hard isolation device pressure-bearing opening performance detection tester, the tester includes: a left tooling, a right tooling, a standard engine, an insulating screw ring, a top cover and an isolation device, the isolation device is arranged between the left tooling and the right tooling, the left tooling and the right tooling are connected by a flange to form an isolation device fixed tooling; the standard engine is arranged on the side of the isolation device that needs to bear pressure, and the insulating screw ring is installed on the other side, and the top cover is connected to the standard engine.
[0006] Furthermore, the inner peripheral walls of the large ends of the openings of the left tooling and the right tooling are provided with limiting steps that cooperate with the isolation device to ensure a tight connection.
[0007] Furthermore, the small opening ends of the left tooling and the right tooling are provided with large opening threads, which are convenient for installing a standard engine and an insulating screw ring.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner circumferential walls of the left tooling and the right tooling are provided with a plurality of limit blocks along the circumferential direction to fix the isolation device.
[0009] Furthermore, the entire tester tooling is made of steel.
[0010] Furthermore, the sealing method of the connection part between the fixing fixture of the isolation device and the standard engine is consistent with that of the standard engine.
[0011] The above-mentioned one or more technical solutions of the present invention have at least one or more of the following technical effects: The present invention provides a simple and efficient isolation device pressure-bearing opening performance tester. The tester has a simple and compact structure and is easy to assemble. It can conveniently use the existing standard engine casing as a tooling to perform cold pressure-bearing and hot opening performance tests. At the same time, it eliminates the previous process of hot opening by pasting square blanks on the inner wall of the tester. It directly connects to the standard engine through a large-opening thread and uses the standard engine for hot opening, which greatly shortens the test cycle and saves manpower and economic costs.

[0016] The utility model provides a tester for testing the pressure-bearing and opening performance of a hard isolation device of a pulse engine, including a fixture for fixing the isolation device, which is provided with a left fixture and a right fixture (the left and right fixtures have basically the same structure, with fine-tuning of the interface). Both the left and right fixtures have a flange on one side and a large-opening thread on the other side. The left and right fixtures are connected by the flange, and the isolation device to be tested is placed in the middle. A standard engine is connected to either the left or right side via threads (determined by pressure-bearing and opening tests). The inner circumferential walls of the left and right fixtures are provided with limiting steps that cooperate with the isolation device.
[0017] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments obtained. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] A tester for testing the pressure-bearing opening performance of a pulse engine's rigid isolation device includes an isolation device fixture, comprising a left fixture and a right fixture (the left and right fixtures are essentially identical in structure, with minor adjustments to the interface). The left and right fixtures feature a flange on one side and a wide-opening thread on the other. The left and right fixtures are connected via the flange, with the isolation device to be tested placed in between. The threaded interface remains consistent with that of a standard engine, and the standard engine is connected via threads on either the left or right side (determined by pressure-bearing and opening tests). The inner circumferences of the left and right fixtures are equipped with stopper steps that mate with the isolation device. The inner walls of the isolation device fixtures (left and right fixtures) are also equipped with stopper steps to secure the isolation device. The isolation device fixtures (left and right fixtures) are connected via flange bolts. The other two sides of the isolation device fixtures (the side opposite the fixture flange) feature wide-opening threads, consistent with commonly used standard engine threads, facilitating assembly. The overall design of the isolation device fixtures (left and right fixtures) is compact, with simple interfaces and easy use. The sealing method of the connection between the isolation device fixing fixture (left and right fixtures) and the standard engine is the same as that of the standard engine. The entire tester fixture is made of steel.
[0019] The figure shows the test fixture for testing the pressure-bearing opening performance of a pulse engine's rigid isolation device. It consists of a left fixture, a right fixture, a standard engine, and a thermal insulation screw ring. The left and right fixtures are connected by flange bolts, and the standard engine and thermal insulation screw ring are connected using large-opening threads at both ends.
[0020] The core of this tester lies in the design of the left and right fixtures. Multiple stoppers are installed along the inner circumference, as shown in the figure, to cleverly secure the isolation device. Simultaneously, one side of the left and right fixtures is connected to a standard engine, while the other side is connected to a heat-insulating screw (not installed for cold pressure). During the pressure-bearing performance test of the isolation device, water is injected through the ignition hole in the top cover to withstand the pressure. During the opening process, a standard engine charge is used for hot opening. Ignition is the same as for a standard engine, with the ignition wire leading from the engine head.
[0021] The specific implementation flow chart is shown in the figure. During the isolation device pressure test, the isolation device is correctly installed in the middle position between the left and right tooling. After installation, the two toolings are connected and fixed with bolts (with bullet pads and flat washers). After fixing, the standard engine casing is connected to the side of the isolation device that needs to be pressurized. At the same time, the standard engine top cover is connected for water pressure pressure testing. If hot pressure is required, a standard engine with propellant (no top cover installed, nozzle installed) must be connected for ignition test. A simple ignition charge is used for ignition, and the ignition wire is extended along the nozzle. The ignition process is consistent with the standard engine. During the hot opening test of the isolation device, a standard engine with propellant (no top cover installed, nozzle installed) is borrowed and installed on the side that needs to be opened. A hot opening test is performed. A simple ignition charge is used for ignition, and the ignition wire is extended along the nozzle. The ignition process is consistent with the standard engine test process. During the cold bench test, the tester is placed on the ground for testing. During the hot test, the tester is fixed to the test thrust frame using tooling.
[0022] Compared with previous testers, the pulse engine hard isolation device pressure bearing and opening performance detection tester of the utility model has a simple structure, is lightweight, easy to install, has a simple interface, and is reusable. At the same time, it improves work efficiency and reduces costs. See Table 1 for details.
