[0002] The aero-engine combustion chamber organizes combustion in the flame tube, and the flame tube structure needs to withstand the repeated action of high-temperature combustion gas. At present, some engines adopt a double-wall flame tube structure, with the outer layer as the impact wall and the inner layer as the dispersion wall, to improve the heat dissipation effect of the flame tube and improve the service life of the flame tube. Since the ignition electric mouth of the combustion chamber needs to pass through the outer ring wall of the flame tube and extend into the flame tube for ignition, the ignition electric mouth is fixed on the relatively low-temperature combustion chamber case, and the thermal deformation caused by the temperature difference and the combustion vibration of the flame tube require that the ignition electric mouth and the flame tube can have a small displacement to absorb the deformation and vibration.

In the description herein, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two.

[0030] The aircraft engine will mix the high pressure gas after the action of the compressor with the fuel in the combustion chamber, and then burn violently to produce high temperature gas, and the high temperature gas will drive the compressor to rotate after the turbine expansion work. The combustion chamber is the area where the aircraft engine organizes combustion to produce energy, which is mainly composed of diffuser, fuel nozzle, flame tube and ignition electrode. And the ignition electrode is a device that provides ignition energy to the combustion chamber to ignite the mixture after the engine starts.

[0031] The combustion chamber organizes combustion in the flame tube, and the structure of the flame tube needs to withstand the repeated action of high-temperature gas. High temperature and cold deformation make the flame tube withstand harsh tests, so the material and process requirements of the flame tube are quite high, and its cooling design is also extremely important. At present, many engines use double-wall flame tube structure, the outer layer is impact wall, and the inner layer is divergent wall. Impact cooling holes are opened on the impact wall to impact cool the divergent wall. In addition, the inner wall of the divergent wall is often sprayed with thermal barrier coating for protection. The double-wall impact and divergent cooling structure design and the thermal barrier coating greatly improve the service life of the flame tube. However, the ignition electrode needs to pass through the outer ring wall of the flame tube to extend into the flame tube for ignition, and the ignition electrode is fixed on the relatively low-temperature combustion chamber case. There is a problem of deformation and incoordination between the two in the working state, and the flame tube combustion vibration also requires the ignition electrode to relatively absorb the small displacement of the flame tube, so as not to damage the ignition device due to the misalignment and vibration of the flame tube. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, an electrode floating sleeve device needs to be arranged on the flame tube to absorb the deformation and vibration of the flame tube in all directions. The double-wall of the flame tube is a thin-wall structure, and the floating sleeve mounting seat is often fixed on the double-wall by welding. At this time, the welding method and structure between the floating sleeve mounting seat and the flame tube will affect the processing difficulty of the entire flame tube assembly.

[0032] The electrode floating sleeve mounting seat usually includes an impact wall mounting seat and a divergent wall mounting seat, as well as a floating sleeve and other structures, which need to be welded and fixed to form the entire floating sleeve mounting seat structure. The divergent wall mounting seat is welded on the divergent wall, which is flush with the inner wall of the divergent wall of the flame tube, and is also sprayed with a thermal barrier coating. In order to avoid affecting the installation of the double-wall, the divergent wall mounting seat is often not too high above the outer wall of the divergent wall, so the existing floating sleeve impact wall mounting seat needs to be lowered to the divergent wall for whole-circle welding to fix and connect. This method is easy to cause the coating to fall off due to the welding being too close to the inner wall of the divergent wall, thereby easily causing the risk of local overheating at the divergent wall mounting seat of the flame tube. In addition, the divergent wall mounting seat needs to be whole-circle welded on the divergent wall hole by argon arc welding, which has a wide heat-affected zone and high energy, often causing local collapse of the divergent wall. The length of the impact wall mounting seat extending into the divergent wall is limited by the gap between the double-walls. After local collapse, the lap amount of the impact wall mounting seat and the divergent wall mounting seat becomes small or even cannot lap, thereby failing to weld and connect the double-wall mounting seats.

[0033] Patent CN113124424A discloses an electrode mounting seat, which uses a multi-layer connection structure to provide axial floating space for the electrode, and uses a multi-layer axial structure to isolate thermal deformation. However, the electrode mounting seat uses many parts, has complex assembly, and has high manufacturing cost, which is not conducive to further improving the installation efficiency of the flame tube.

[0034] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of one aspect of the present application provides a double-layer flame tube electric nozzle floating sleeve mounting seat, which has a structure as shown in the figure. Figure 1 The double-layer flame tube electric nozzle floating sleeve mounting seat is mounted on the flame tube, the flame tube is provided in a double-layer structure, including a diverging wall 5 of an inner layer and an impact wall 9 of an outer layer, a gap is formed between the diverging wall 5 and the impact wall 9, and the inner side of the diverging wall 5 is a space where combustion occurs in the combustion chamber. The double-layer flame tube electric nozzle floating sleeve mounting seat includes a diverging wall mounting seat 1, an impact wall mounting seat 2, and a pressing plate 3. The diverging wall mounting seat 1 is fixedly connected to the diverging wall 5, the impact wall mounting seat 2 is arranged on the outer side of the impact wall 9, the surface of the impact wall mounting seat 2 towards the outside of the combustion cylinder is provided with a concave floating groove 11, the pressing plate 3 covers the floating groove 11 to limit the floating sleeve 4, the floating sleeve 4 is movably connected in the floating groove 11, the center of the floating sleeve 4 is provided with a mounting hole for mounting the flame tube electric nozzle, and correspondingly, the diverging wall mounting seat 1, the impact wall mounting seat 2, and the pressing plate 3 are also respectively provided with through holes matched with the mounting hole, so as to allow the flame tube electric nozzle (not shown) to pass through and extend from the outside of the flame tube to the inside of the flame tube.

[0035] Specifically, in combination with Figure 2 , the diverging wall mounting seat 1 and the impact wall mounting seat 2 are respectively configured as an integrally formed part. One side of the impact wall mounting seat 2 towards the inside of the flame tube is formed with a protruding adapter ring 16, the adapter ring 16 extends into the gap between the diverging wall 5 and the impact wall 9 of the flame tube, and a limiting flange 14 is formed on the circumferential outer side of the adapter ring 16. One side of the diverging wall mounting seat 1 towards the outside of the flame tube is formed with a protruding limiting boss 15, the limiting boss 15 cooperates with the limiting flange 14 to form axial limiting, so as to limit the axial displacement of the impact wall mounting seat 2 and prevent the impact wall mounting seat 2 from excessively displacing towards the inside of the flame tube.

[0036] In the preferred embodiment, the diverging wall inner wall surface 7 and the diverging wall mounting seat inner surface 6 are coated with a thermal barrier coating 8, so as to protect the diverging wall 5 and the diverging wall mounting seat 1 from being eroded by high-temperature combustion gas.

[0037] In the preferred embodiment, the diverging wall mounting seat 1 is provided with a penetrating cooling hole 12, the cooling hole 12 connects the inside of the flame tube with the gap between the diverging wall 5 and the impact wall 9, thereby playing a role of providing cooling for the diverging wall mounting seat 1.

[0038] In the preferred embodiment, the adapter ring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole of the divergent wall mounting seat 1 by welding. In a further embodiment, the adapter ring 16 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of plug welding grooves 10, and the welding connection is achieved by multi-point plug welding in the plug welding grooves 10. The use of multi-point plug welding instead of full-circle vacuum brazing at the connection position of the divergent wall mounting seat 1 and the impact wall mounting seat 2 can avoid the overall heating of the flame tube into the furnace, prevent the thermal barrier coating 8 from falling off, and prevent the collapse of the divergent wall 5 of the flame tube from causing the mounting seat to be unable to be connected. Further, the multi-point plug welding in the plug welding grooves 10 of the adapter ring 16 can reduce the heat-affected zone and reduce the thermal deformation generated during welding.

The limiting boss 15 can axially limit the impact wall mounting seat 2 to prevent the impact wall mounting seat 2 from being inserted too deeply. During assembly, the extension length of the floating sleeve 4 can also be adjusted according to the actual state to adapt to different flame tube collapse depths.

[0045] Next, the floating sleeve 4 is placed in the floating groove 11 of the impact wall mounting seat 2, and the pressure plate 3 is welded to the upper surface of the impact wall mounting seat 2 to limit the floating sleeve 4 and prevent it from coming out.
