Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of detonation ramjet engines, and more particularly to a split support structure suitable for the annular flow channel of a detonation ramjet engine. Background Technology
[0002] Detonation combustion technology, as an upgrade to traditional slow-burning combustion technology, can fundamentally replace existing propulsion devices that utilize combustion energy. Detonation combustion-based propulsion technology can significantly reduce fuel consumption and substantially improve the specific impulse characteristics of the propulsion system, which is of great significance for broadening the operational envelope of aircraft and enhancing the economy and performance of existing equipment.
[0003] However, compared to slow-burn combustion, detonation combustion is more difficult to trigger and less controllable. The understanding and mastery of its mechanism remain insufficient, hindering its application in propulsion systems. Researchers have experimented with standing-wave detonation engines and pulse detonation engines, conducting extensive research on pulse detonation engines and achieving a series of results. However, breakthroughs in highly efficient and reliable valves and stable and reliable re-ignition technologies have yet to be achieved, making it difficult for pulse detonation rocket engine technology to meet engineering application requirements.
[0004] To reduce the difficulty of engineering applications, continuous rotary detonation technology has emerged. Rotary detonation combustion releases heat rapidly and has a high thermal density; only a single successful ignition is needed for the detonation wave to propagate continuously along the circumference of the combustion chamber. Due to the unique continuous rotary detonation combustion method of the detonation ramjet engine, an annular flow channel structure is required to ensure the self-sustainability and stability of the detonation combustion. However, traditional annular flow channels employ an integral structure to ensure the sealing of the high-speed airflow passage. Under the high temperature, high pressure, and strong vibration environment generated during the operation of the continuous rotary detonation ramjet engine, this structure will generate thermal stress exceeding the material strength limit, which may lead to structural deformation and failure. Utility Model Content

[0026] This application provides a split support structure suitable for the annular flow channel of a detonation ramjet engine.
[0027] like Figure 1 and him Figure 2 As shown, a split support structure suitable for the annular flow channel of a detonation ramjet engine is disclosed. The detonation ramjet engine includes an inner cylinder 1 and an outer cylinder 2 surrounding the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 1. The inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are coaxially arranged. The inner wall of the outer cylinder 2 and the outer wall of the inner cylinder 1 have circular cross-sections, forming an annular flow channel between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 1. The split support structure includes at least three support seats 3 and a limiting component. The multiple support seats 3 are distributed circumferentially around the outer cylinder 2. The outer cylinder 2 is provided with a mounting hole 21 for one end of the support seat 3 to pass through. One end of the support seat 3 passes through the mounting hole 21, and the other end of the support seat 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer cylinder 2. The outer ring sidewall of the inner cylinder 1 has a groove 11 at the position corresponding to the mounting hole 21. The end of the support seat 3 facing the inner cylinder 1 is located in the groove 11, and the bottom of the groove 11 and the end face of the support seat 3 facing the inner cylinder 1 are spaced apart. There is a gap between the sidewalls of the groove 11 corresponding to the two axial ends of the inner cylinder 1 and the end sidewall of the support seat 3 facing the inner cylinder 1. The limiting component is used to limit the relative displacement of the inner cylinder 1 and the end of the support seat 3 facing the inner cylinder 1 in the circumferential direction of the inner cylinder 1.
[0028] In this application, the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are connected by at least three support seats 3. The fixed connection between the support seats 3 and the outer cylinder 2, as well as the design of the limiting components, limit the position of the inner cylinder 1's axis relative to the outer cylinder 2 and its circumferential rotation. The axial gap between the support seats 3 and the grooves 11 of the inner cylinder 1 provides space for the axial relative displacement of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. The bottom of the grooves 11 and the end face of the support seats 3 facing the inner cylinder 1 are spaced apart, providing space for the radial deformation of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. Through the design of the support seats 3, this application constrains the circumferential relative rotation and the axial relative position of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2, meeting the accuracy requirements for the relative position of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. It also provides space for the relative displacement of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 in the axial and radial directions, thereby meeting the requirements for relative displacement compensation of the inner and outer cylinders when the engine is operating at high temperatures, and also significantly reducing the vibration energy transmitted outward by engine knock combustion.
[0029] In this embodiment, the support base 3 has four holes evenly distributed around the outer cylinder 2, and the axial direction of the mounting holes 21 is arranged along the radial direction of the outer cylinder 2.
[0030] The groove 11 has a positioning pin 12 protruding radially along the inner cylinder 1 on its bottom. The support base 3 has an elongated hole 31 on its end face facing the inner cylinder 1. The length of the elongated hole 31 is along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 1, and the positioning pin 12 is allowed to slide in the elongated hole 31 along its length. The elongated hole 31 and the positioning pin 12 meet the clearance fit requirements of IT6 to IT11 in the width direction of the elongated hole 31. The end face of the elongated hole 31 facing away from the inner cylinder 1 and the end of the positioning pin 12 facing away from the inner cylinder 1 are spaced apart. The positioning pin 12 and the elongated hole 31 constitute the limiting component.
[0031] The positioning pin 12 is a cylindrical pin, and the positioning pin 12 and the inner cylinder 1 are an integral structure. The positioning pin 12 and the two side walls in the corresponding width direction of the elongated hole 31 are assembled with a small clearance of H7 / f6, that is, the length of the elongated hole 31 is 2-4 times the diameter of the positioning pin 12, and the width distance of the elongated hole 31 and the diameter of the positioning pin 12 meet the assembly requirements of H7 / f6 clearance fit.
[0032] The inner wall of the groove 11 and the outer peripheral wall of the end of the support 3 facing the inner cylinder 1 are spaced apart to prevent over-constraint in the radial direction of the engine.
[0033] The end face of the positioning pin 12 facing away from the inner cylinder 1 is rounded to facilitate the quick entry of the positioning pin 12 into the elongated hole 31.
[0034] The support base 3 includes a flange mounting plate 32 and a mating rod 33. The flange mounting plate 32 is a flat plate structure. The length direction of the mating rod 33 is perpendicular to the flange mounting plate 32. The flange mounting plate 32 is fixed to the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 2 by bolts 23. One end of the mating rod 33 is integrally connected to the flange mounting plate 32, and the other end of the mating rod 33 mates with the groove 11. A gap is provided between the outer wall of the mating rod 33 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 21 to facilitate the quick assembly of the support base 3. The length of the mating rod 331 is set along the radial direction of the outer cylinder 2.
[0035] The outer peripheral sidewall of the outer cylinder 2 is provided with a mating boss 22 around the mounting hole 21. The side of the mating boss 22 facing away from the inner cylinder 1 is a planar structure, and a sealing groove 24 is provided on the plane of the mating boss 22 facing away from the inner cylinder 1. A sealing ring is embedded in the sealing groove 24. The sealing ring abuts against the end face of the outer cylinder 2 and the flange mounting plate 32, and the sealing ring seals the mating surface of the support base 3 and the outer cylinder 2.
[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
