TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to liquid rocket technical field, concretely relates to a kind of integrated bulkhead for liquid rocket, liquid rocket engine and liquid rocket. BACKGROUND
[0002] Liquid rocket engine injector design has the most significant and direct influence on high-frequency unstable combustion, especially for the combustion chamber diameter of medium thrust greater than 300mm, high-frequency unstable combustion is prone to occur, so when designing the injector, some special damping devices, such as bulkhead, need to be used. The bulkhead divides the thrust chamber injector into several small areas, which increases the acoustic vibration frequency near the injection surface, destroys the energy conditions of high-frequency unstable combustion, and thus suppresses unstable combustion. The traditional bulkhead structure has ablation bulkhead and regenerative cooling bulkhead. The ablation bulkhead is usually disposable and is burned out after one use, and cannot be used multiple times. The traditional regenerative cooling bulkhead is usually composed of multiple parts such as inner circle, reinforcing ribs, outer wall and corrugated plate, and needs to be connected by brazing. On the one hand, the process is complex, and there is a risk of leakage, blockage of internal channels and poor reliability. Moreover, due to the high temperature in the combustion chamber, the distance of the bulkhead extending out of the injector end surface is limited, and the effect of suppressing unstable combustion is also discounted.
[0003] In summary, the existing technology has the following problems: the liquid rocket engine injector has the problem of unstable combustion. INVENTION CONTENTS
