DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] The utility model discloses a split type pipeline throat joint, which is applied to ground experiment of gas generator, and is arranged between the gas inlet pipeline of the gas generator and the gas generator. The pipeline throat joint comprises a throat core 2, a throat outer joint 1 and a ball joint 4. The throat core 2, the throat outer joint 1 and the ball joint 4 are all in cylindrical shape. The two ends of the throat outer joint 1 are a first end and a second end respectively, and the two ends of the ball joint 4 are also a first end and a second end respectively.
[0024] The throat core 2 is detachably arranged in the gas passage of the throat outer joint 1. The outer side wall of one end of the throat core 2 is in sealing contact with the inner side wall of the first end of the throat outer joint 1. The second end of the throat outer joint 1 is sealingly connected with the gas inlet of the gas generator. Preferably, the second end of the throat outer joint 1 is welded with the gas inlet of the gas generator. The outer side wall of the throat outer joint 1 is provided with a second protruding ring 101, which is arranged at one end close to the external thread. When the throat outer joint 1 is inserted into the gas inlet of the gas generator, the second protruding ring 101 not only plays a limiting role, but also can be welded without affecting the threaded connection structure of the first end of the throat outer joint 1.
[0025] The throat pipe core 2 is internally provided with a throat passage, the diameter of the throat passage gradually decreases from the two ends to the middle of the throat pipe core 2. The minimum diameter (throat section) of the throat passage is determined according to the required working gas flow. Preferably, the throat passage comprises a contraction section 202, a throat section 203 and an expansion section 204, the throat section 203 is arranged between the contraction section 202 and the expansion section 204, the contraction section 202 and the expansion section 204 are conical surfaces, the throat section 203 is the minimum diameter section of the throat passage, and the second conical surface extends on the surface of the contraction section 202. The shape of the throat passage is simple to manufacture.
[0026] The ball joint 4 is internally provided with a gas flow passage, the second end of the ball joint 4 is inserted into one end of the throat pipe core 2 close to the first end of the throat outer joint 1, the outer side wall of the ball joint 4 is in sealing contact with the inner side wall of the throat pipe core 2, and the first end of the ball joint 4 is in detachable connection with the gas inlet pipe of the gas generator. The gas inlet pipe is preferably a metal bellows.
[0027] The throat passage of the throat pipe core 2, the gas passage of the throat outer joint 1 and the gas passage of the ball joint 4 are coaxially arranged, thereby reducing the resistance to the delivery of working gas.
[0028] In the embodiment, by arranging the throat pipe core 2, on the one hand, it plays a throttling role. In order to ensure that the working gas flow through the throat passage reaches the target flow, the pressure of the working gas that does not enter the throat passage (i.e. the pressure of the working gas supply end) is significantly increased. On the other hand, it plays an accelerating role. The flow rate of the working gas through the throat passage is significantly increased. The increase of the pressure of the working gas supply end and the increase of the flow rate of the working gas through the throat passage can greatly reduce the influence of the pressure fluctuation of the chamber cavity of the gas generator on the working gas flow in the gas inlet pipe, so that the working gas flow into the gas generator is more stable, thereby reducing the deviation between the actual flow and the target flow of the working gas into the gas generator.
[0029] For example, the working gas flow required to enter the gas generator is the target flow. When the throat pipe core 2 is not arranged, because the diameter of the gas inlet pipe is large, the pressure of the working gas supply end is set to be very small, so that the working gas flow into the gas generator can reach the target flow. After the throat pipe core 2 is arranged, because the diameter of the throat section 203 is very small, in order to make the working gas flow into the gas generator reach the target flow, the pressure of the working gas supply end needs to be greatly increased, which is much higher than when the throat pipe core 2 is not arranged. When the chamber cavity pressure of the gas generator fluctuates within a certain range, it will not have too much influence on the working gas flow in the gas inlet pipe of the gas generator, so that the working gas flow into the gas generator is relatively stable, thereby reducing the deviation between the actual flow and the target flow of the working gas into the gas generator.
[0030] In a preferred state, when the pressure of the working gas supply end and the minimum diameter of the throat passage (the diameter of the throat section 203) reach a certain condition, the flow rate of the working gas passing through the throat section 203 can reach the speed of sound state and be stable in the speed of sound state. Specifically, if the pressure of the working gas supply end is set in a high pressure range, much larger than the chamber pressure of the gas generator, the total temperature of the working gas is the constant ambient temperature, and the diameter of the throat section 203 is determined according to the working gas flow rate, the flow rate of the working gas in the throat section 203 can reach the speed of sound state. The working gas flow rate in the throat section 203 can be in the speed of sound state within the change range of the chamber pressure of the gas generator, so that the working gas flow rate is not affected by the change of the chamber pressure of the gas generator, thereby keeping the working gas flow rate stable.
[0031] In addition, the pipeline throat joint adopts a split structure, and if the flow demand of the working gas is different, only the throat pipe core 2 with different sizes of throat section needs to be replaced.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the second end of the ball joint 4 is provided with a first taper portion 401, the outer side wall of the first taper portion 401 is a first taper surface, one end of the throat pipe core 2 extends outward to form a second taper portion 201, the inner side wall of the second taper portion 201 is a second taper surface, the outer side wall of the second taper portion 201 is a third taper surface, the inner side wall of the first end of the throat outer joint 1 is provided with a fourth taper surface 102, the first taper portion 401 is inserted into the second taper portion 201, and the first taper surface and the second taper surface are in sealing abutment, and the third taper surface and the fourth taper surface 102 are in sealing abutment. In this way, the connecting end of the ball joint 4, the throat outer joint 1 and the throat pipe core 2 are sealingly connected, the throat passage and the air passage are sealingly connected, and the working gas completely passes through the throat passage.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the pipeline throat joint further comprises a confinement cap 3, the confinement cap 3 is sleeved on the ball joint 4 and abuts against the ball joint 4, and the other end of the confinement cap 3 is detachably connected with the throat outer joint 1. Specifically, the confinement cap 3 comprises a confinement portion 301 and a clamping portion 302 integrally connected at one end of the confinement portion 301, the inner side of the confinement portion 301 is provided with an internal thread, the outer side wall of the first end of the throat outer joint 1 is provided with an external thread matched with the internal thread, the end of the clamping portion 302 away from the confinement portion 301 is provided with a clamping ring extending in the axial direction, the outer side wall of the ball joint 4 is provided with a first protruding ring 402, the minimum diameter of the clamping ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the first protruding ring 402, when the confinement cap 3 is sleeved on the ball joint 4, the clamping ring abuts against the side of the first protruding ring 402 away from the throat outer joint 1, and as the confinement cap 3 is tightened with the throat outer joint 1, the clamping ring will continue to press the ball joint 4 to the side of the throat outer joint 1, so that the first taper surface and the second taper surface, and the third taper surface and the fourth taper surface 102 are further tightly attached, further ensuring the sealing property of the gas passage.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the throat connector 1, the enclosure cap 3, and the ball joint 4 are preferably made of stainless steel, and the throat core 2 is made of brass. After the brass is extruded, the sealing effect of the gas passage is better.
