AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing noise problem during the launch of man-portable rockets, especially the high-intensity noise caused by gas turbulence and pulsation, presents challenges with existing noise reduction technologies, which are characterized by large size, complexity, increased weight, or potential safety hazards.

Method used

Design an engine plug with noise reduction function, which includes a hollow non-metallic shell and tungsten powder encapsulated therein. When the non-metallic shell is broken by the pressure of the combustion chamber, the tungsten powder flows out and disperses, absorbing the energy of the combustion gas to reduce noise.

Benefits of technology

It achieves the goal of reducing noise while maintaining the sealing of the plug and facilitating daily maintenance, avoiding the hidden dangers and weight increase of existing technologies.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of individual rocket technology and relates to an engine plug with noise reduction function. Background Technology

[0002] When a man-portable rocket is launched, the rocket engine generates a high-temperature, high-speed, and high-pressure unsteady and complex flow field in the tail nozzle, resulting in high-intensity noise and a long flame, which is detrimental to the concealment of the rocket and the safety of the shooter during launch. Supersonic gas jet noise is one of the main characteristics of man-portable rocket launches. It is caused by the intense turbulent pulsation formed by the rapid mixing of high-speed gas with the surrounding relatively stationary medium.

[0003] Currently, various noise reduction solutions are employed, including tailpipe mufflers, multi-nozzle noise reduction, liquid injection noise reduction, and liquid column balancing bodies. Tailpipe mufflers are large in size and have a large capacity, while liquid injection noise reduction systems are complex and have limited practical application. Multi-nozzle noise reduction can reduce jet turbulence intensity and increase jet mixing area, transferring low-frequency energy to higher frequencies, but it introduces aerodynamic losses and increased weight, limiting its practical application. Liquid column balancing bodies involve placing a liquid column balancing body of a certain mass behind the engine nozzle. This body absorbs some heat to reduce the combustion gas temperature and consumes combustion gas energy, thereby reducing the total energy of the combustion gas jet and achieving noise reduction. However, long-term storage of liquid column balancing bodies poses a risk of leakage and seepage, limiting its application when high-precision maintenance is required.

[0004] The plug is a component of a solid rocket motor, primarily functioning to seal, prevent moisture, prevent foreign matter from entering, and provide the necessary pressure to ensure proper combustion of the propellant after ignition. Plugs are mainly classified into two categories: metal plugs and non-metal plugs. Individual rocket motors mostly use non-metallic plugs to avoid injury to personnel from afterburner debris if the plug breaks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an engine plug with noise reduction function, which is suitable for noise reduction of man-portable rockets.

[0007] This utility model provides an engine plug with noise reduction function, comprising a hollow non-metallic packaging shell, tungsten powder encapsulated in the inner cavity of the non-metallic packaging shell, and a metal connector adhered to the outer side of the non-metallic packaging shell.

[0008] The outer wall of the metal connector is machined with connecting threads that match the inner wall of the rear end of the engine housing.

[0009] The engine plug is connected to the rear end of the engine shell through the metal connecting piece.

[0010] The working process of the utility model is:

[0011] The engine plug is connected to the rear end of the engine shell through the metal connecting piece.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The engine plug of the utility model can reduce noise during launching in addition to the conventional sealing, moisture-proof, prevention of excess material from entering, and provision of opening pressure functions, and is convenient for daily service processing.
