TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of rocket tank pressurization, in particular to a high-efficiency energy dissipation device for a tank of a launch vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The pressurization system is an important system to meet the needs of normal operation and structural load of the engine. The function and role of the energy dissipation device located at the top of the tank is to reduce the force and heat impact of the pressurization gas on the tank wall and liquid surface while achieving reasonable energy distribution.
[0003] However, the existing energy dissipation device is often a general configuration, which needs to be specially customized for the pressurization gas and flow in a specific use environment, so that the pressurization gas uniformly enters the tank and smoothly transitions after passing through the energy dissipation device, and finally the pressurization gas tends to be parallel to the axis direction of the tank, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the pressurization gas entering the tank, so that the pressurization gas cannot directly blow onto the liquid surface to cause liquid splashing, and the energy dissipation device meets the indicators of the pressurization delivery system.
[0004] The energy dissipation device with publication number CN215884126U adopts a multi-layer cylinder screen, and the radial size of the energy dissipation device is large. After the gas flow is blown out, it is very close to the side wall of the tank, resulting in strong impact and heat exchange of the gas flow on the surface of the tank. The pressurization gas cannot be uniformly distributed, which easily causes liquid splashing, and the energy dissipation effect is poor, and also has the problems of large volume and high cost. The cylinder screen spacing of the energy dissipation device with publication number CN115992778A is large, and also has the problem that the gas flow is very close to the side wall of the tank. Moreover, the gas flow changes from axial to radial without using a flow guide device for transition, which easily causes gas flow collision and generates large vortexes, affecting the smooth pressurization of the gas flow, thereby causing the pressurization gas to be unable to be uniformly distributed, easily causing liquid splashing, and the energy dissipation effect is poor, and also has the problems of large volume and high cost.
[0005] Therefore, how to improve the energy dissipation effect of the energy dissipation device and reduce the cost of the energy dissipation device is a technical problem that needs to be solved by the technical personnel in the field at present. Practical new type content
[0006] The present application provides a high-efficiency energy dissipation device for a tank of a launch vehicle to improve the energy dissipation effect of the energy dissipation device and reduce the cost of the energy dissipation device.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] Preferably, the expansion cylinder section and the front bottom cover are combined to form an integrated structure.
[0010] Preferably, the top end of the flow guide cone is a convex circular arc surface.
[0011] Preferably, the conical surface of the flow guide cone is gradually inclined inward from the top to the middle part, and the conical surface of the flow guide cone is gradually inclined inward from the bottom to the middle part, so that the middle part of the conical surface of the flow guide cone is concave inward.
[0012] Preferably, the edge of the bowl screen is fixed to the inner wall of the expansion cylinder section by welding.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom end of the flow guide cone is fixed to the upper surface of the rear bottom cover by welding.
[0014] Preferably, the lower edge of the outer-layer cylinder screen and the lower edge of the inner-layer cylinder screen are fixed to the upper surface of the rear bottom cover by welding, and the upper edge of the outer-layer cylinder screen and the upper edge of the inner-layer cylinder screen are fixed to the lower surface of the front bottom cover by welding.
[0015] Preferably, the bowl screen has a plurality of bowl screen holes, and all the bowl screen holes are uniformly distributed.
[0016] The high-efficiency energy dissipation device for a storage tank of a carrier rocket as described above, preferably, the outer layer cylinder screen has a plurality of outer layer cylinder screen holes, and all the outer layer cylinder screen holes are uniformly distributed; the inner layer cylinder screen has a plurality of inner layer cylinder screen holes, and all the inner layer cylinder screen holes are uniformly distributed.
[0017] The high-efficiency energy dissipation device for a storage tank of a carrier rocket as described above, preferably, the outer layer cylinder screen holes and the inner layer cylinder screen holes are staggered at a certain angle.
[0018] In view of the above background, the high-efficiency energy dissipation device for a storage tank of a carrier rocket provided by the present application adopts a structure of a bowl screen combined with a double-layer cylinder screen, and has fewer cylinder screens arranged in the radial direction compared with the prior art, thereby not only reducing the occupation of the space of the storage tank, but also playing a good role in weakening the impact and heat exchange of the pressurized gas flow on the wall surface of the storage tank.
[0019] In addition, the high-efficiency energy dissipation device for a storage tank of a carrier rocket provided by the present application adopts a bowl screen combined with a flow guide cone to dissipate the energy of the pressurized gas flow and effectively guide the direction of the pressurized gas flow, thereby inhibiting the generation of large vortexes and making the pressurized gas flow change direction more smoothly and stably in the energy dissipation device and flow to the double-layer cylinder screen, so as to realize the control of the outflow direction of the pressurized gas flow.
[0020] In addition, the porous honeycomb structure of the double-layer cylinder screen can make the pressurized gas flow blow out uniformly and horizontally, effectively avoiding the pressurized gas flow from directly impacting the liquid surface of the rocket propellant in the storage tank, and playing a good role in stabilizing the liquid surface and the pressure of the rocket propellant.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3 The bowl screen 170 has a bowl screen hole 171 through the inside and outside, the edge of the bowl screen 170 is butt-jointed and fixed with the inner wall of the expansion cylinder segment 110, and the convex side of the bowl screen 170 faces the side of the front bottom cover 120. Optionally, the bottom of the convex side of the bowl screen 170 protrudes out of the gas flow hole of the front bottom cover 120. Further optionally, the edge of the bowl screen 170 is fixed with the inner wall of the expansion cylinder segment 110 by welding. Yet optionally, the edge of the bowl screen 170 is butt-jointed to the same circumference of the inner wall of the expansion cylinder segment 110. Still optionally, the bowl screen 170 has a plurality of bowl screen holes 171, and all the bowl screen holes 171 are uniformly distributed.
[0030] As shown in Figure 4 The flow guide cone 160 is conical, the top end of which extends upward, and the bottom end of which is fixed with the upper surface of the rear bottom cover 120. Optionally, the top end of the flow guide cone 160 is a convex arc surface upward, so that the flow guide cone 160 is streamlined. Further optionally, the conical surface of the flow guide cone 160 gradually inclines inward from the top to the middle part, and the conical surface of the flow guide cone 160 gradually inclines inward from the bottom to the middle part, so that the middle part of the conical surface of the flow guide cone 160 is concave inward. Yet optionally, the bottom end of the flow guide cone 160 is fixed with the upper surface of the rear bottom cover 120 by welding.
[0031] The outer layer cylinder screen 140 and the inner layer cylinder screen 150 are both in the shape of a cylinder penetrating from top to bottom, the outer layer cylinder screen 140 has outer layer cylinder screen holes 141 penetrating from the inside to the outside, the inner layer cylinder screen 150 has inner layer cylinder screen holes 151 penetrating from the inside to the outside, and the outer layer cylinder screen 140 is sleeved to the outside of the inner layer cylinder screen 150; the lower edge of the outer layer cylinder screen 140 and the lower edge of the inner layer cylinder screen 150 are both fixed to the upper surface of the rear bottom cover 130, and the flow guide cone 160 is located in the inside of the inner layer cylinder screen 150; the upper edge of the outer layer cylinder screen 140 and the upper edge of the inner layer cylinder screen 150 are both fixed to the lower surface of the front bottom cover 120, and the bowl-shaped screen 170 is located in the inside of the inner layer cylinder screen 150.
