[0002] The core engine of an aero-engine is a test device used to verify the performance of high-pressure components. During the test, the high-pressure gas that has passed through the compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine is discharged. The tail nozzle of an aero-engine is an important component of the aero-engine.

[0003] Chinese patent CN213899133U discloses a tail nozzle and a turbojet engine. The tail nozzle includes a nozzle body with an inlet and an outlet. The outlet sidewall is corrugated. The inlet connects to the combustion chamber of the turbojet engine, and the outlet connects to the outside air. A turbine casing is located at the inlet and can be connected to the outer wall of the turbojet engine's combustion chamber. An end-face casing is located at the outlet and connected to the outer casing of the turbojet engine. The end-face casing near the outlet has a corrugated structure, and the corrugated structure of the end-face casing and the corrugated structure of the outlet are integrally formed. A fuel line is integrally formed on the end-face casing for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber. With this structure, the tail nozzle is not only lightweight and has low manufacturing costs, but also solves the problems of easy cracking and extrusion deformation.

[0004] Traditional aero-engine exhaust nozzle structures lack supporting structures when cooling pipes supply cold air to the nozzle, making them prone to detachment. This not only affects the cooling function of the exhaust nozzle but may also cause safety hazards. Furthermore, the exhaust nozzle's airflow guidance effect is poor, resulting in hot airflow recirculation, which greatly reduces the exhaust nozzle's working efficiency and performance stability.

The connecting sleeve is fitted onto the outer surface of the tail nozzle body, the support frame is fixed to the outside of the connecting sleeve, the first card holder is fixedly installed at the end of the support frame, and the second card holder is located outside the first card holder.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting post is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second card holder and inserted into the interior of the first card holder. A reset spring is connected between the connecting post and the first card holder. A fixing slot for accommodating the connecting post and the reset spring is opened inside the first card holder.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the second card holder is movably connected to the first card holder via a connecting post and a return spring, and a card slot is formed between the first card holder and the second card holder.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tail nozzle body, and a flow guide is provided on the outer side of the connecting ring, with the flow guide and the connecting ring being in the same axial direction.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer surface of the flow guide is fixedly connected with a snap-fit ​​post, and the inside of the connecting ring is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that is adapted to the snap-fit ​​post.

[0025] Specifically, the No. 1 clamp 10, together with the No. 2 clamp 11, limits and clamps the tail nozzle connecting pipe, while the connecting sleeve 8 and the support frame 9 provide auxiliary support, which can improve the stability of the tail nozzle connecting pipe connection and prevent it from falling off.

[0026] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the outer surface of the second card holder 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting post 12 that is inserted into the first card holder 10.
