Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of product testing, specifically relating to a special atomization testing device for injectors. Background Technology
[0002] The working principle of the injector is: oxygen and fuel propulsion.
[0003] The propellant flows into the combustion chamber through the injector at a specific flow rate, achieving good atomization and mixing, thus organizing combustion for high efficiency and enabling the thrust chamber to achieve its predetermined performance. Taking a certain type of injector as an example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the injector is a single-pair DC mutual-impact type, employing a symmetrical structure design with two injection holes of equal diameter. The two holes, with their centerlines at a 50° angle, serve as the oxygen and combustion paths. Thrust can be adjusted by controlling the flow rate of the oxidizer through the injector. However, when the oxidizer flow rate changes dramatically, the injection pressure drop of the injector increases rapidly, altering the atomization effect. Inadequate atomization hinders stable combustion in the thrust chamber and efficient propellant supply. Therefore, atomization testing is a crucial performance indicator for injector products. Based on past experience, this type of testing equipment is relatively heavy, inconvenient to move, and difficult to control in terms of flow rate and pressure, impacting production efficiency.
[0004] The patent search query (sprayer, atomization test) yielded 2 patent entries, including two patents related to this invention:
[0005] (1) CN106089492A, a performance testing device for an injector, in order to observe whether the tangential holes of the injector cooling ring are blocked and whether the jet is uniform under a given low flow rate, this invention patent ensures that water enters and exits according to the required flow channel through the structural design of the performance testing device, ensuring the flow rate of the flow channel, and simulating the actual working state of a certain type of injector for experimentation. This patent is to observe whether the pressure drop meets the requirements during the process of adjusting the flow rate within a certain range, record the atomization effect after the two media are injected, and determine whether there is pressure oscillation during the working process.
[0006] (2) CN114576039A, A needle-plug injector and injection method capable of multi-dimensional impact atomization, which solves the problem that when the propellant flow rate of the existing needle-plug injector is large, the large nozzle size affects the impact atomization of the propellant, thus affecting the combustion performance. This patent is to test whether the pressure drop meets the requirements during a certain range of flow rate adjustment, record the atomization effect after the two media are injected, and determine whether there is pressure oscillation during the working process.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, lightweight, and portable method that can test and verify the flow rate, pressure drop, and atomization effect of the injector, that is, to record the changes in pressure drop and observe the atomization effect of the injector during the flow rate adjustment process, thereby improving the testing efficiency.
