[0038] As Figure 4 shown, the front flange 1 is a standard part with an outer diameter of 470 mm and an inner diameter of 288 mm; the rear flange 2 has an outer diameter of 585 mm, an inner diameter of 272 mm, and a height of 170 mm.

[0039] As Figure 5 shown, the sleeve outer shell 7 sleeve inner shell, 8 is connected through the ring, the sleeve outer shell 7 is a metal component with an inner diameter of 288 mm and an outer diameter of 312 mm, and the sleeve inner shell 8 is a metal component with an inner diameter of 272 mm and an outer diameter of 278 mm.

[0040] As Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the nozzle 11 is threadedly connected to the first positioning seat 9 and fixed by the first lock cover 10, and the other end is threadedly connected to the second positioning seat 13 and fixed by the second lock cover 12, and the nozzle 14 is threadedly connected to the nozzle 11.

[0041] As shown in the drawings, Figure 8 As shown, the second positioning seat 13 has an inner diameter of 34 mm and an outer diameter of 44 mm, the second lock cover 12 is a matching part of the second positioning seat 13, the upper end of the first positioning seat 9 has a diameter of 36 mm, the lower end has a width of 20 mm and a length of 36 mm, and the first lock cover 10 is a matching part of the first positioning seat 9.

[0042] As shown in the drawings, Figure 9 As shown, the large nozzle water spraying ring unit 4 replaces the small nozzle 14 with the large nozzle 15, and the small nozzle matching part 18 is used for inclined installation to the nozzle 11; the total length of the small nozzle 14 is 35 mm, the diameter is 14 mm, and the lower end opening is 3 mm; the total length of the large nozzle 15 is 40 mm, the diameter is 22 mm, and the lower end opening is 5 mm.

[0043] As shown in the drawings, Figure 10 As shown, the small swirl core 16 in the small nozzle 14 has a total length of 28 mm, a right end length of 5 mm, a diameter of 10 mm, a middle section of 15 mm, a diameter of 3 mm, and a lower end total length of 5 mm swirl structure with a 45° cutting; the large swirl core 17 in the large nozzle 15 has a total length of 334 mm, a right end length of 5 mm, a diameter of 18 mm, a middle section of 20 mm, a diameter of 4 mm, and a lower end total length of 11 mm swirl structure with a 45° cutting.

[0044] The large nozzle 15 and the small nozzle 14 both adopt a centrifugal structure, and the large nozzle 15 and the small nozzle 14 have simple structure and strong reliability, and are convenient for controlling the spray cone angle through structural design.

[0045] The cooling liquid of the large nozzle water spraying ring unit 4 and the small nozzle water spraying ring unit 3 enters the device through the water inlet, then enters from the lower end of the straight pipe, and finally flows into the nozzle, so as to achieve the effect of emptying the excess air in the system before forming stable spray.

[0047] Because of an ablation phenomenon in actual working condition, the main reason is that the middle of the small nozzle water spraying ring unit 3 is difficult to be cooled by the spray, so the hot air with high temperature and high pressure long-term burns the middle of the spraying ring, which is the weakest point of the whole structure. Therefore, in view of this problem, the position or angle of the nozzle needs to be adjusted, so that the sprayed spray can play a cooling effect on the middle of the spraying ring. Therefore, the normal angle of the small nozzle 14 is 30°. Therefore, the normal angle of the small nozzle 14 is 30°, when the nozzle angle is 30°, the spray is concentrated inward, and the cooling effect of the middle of the spraying ring is good, and when the nozzle angle is less than 30°, the sprayed cooling liquid is high in interference degree, resulting in a decrease in the contact area of the cooling liquid and the hot flow.

[0048] As shown in Figure 11 The first layer of the whole exhaust water spraying section, that is, the spray group, is subjected to the maximum pressure load, and when the combustion chamber flow pressure exceeds 4kPa, the nozzle part is prone to cracks. In order to reduce the adverse effects, tests show that the length of the short cross rod 19 is 25mm, the length of the middle cross rod 20 is 43mm, and the length of the long cross rod 21 is 50mm.
