Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas turbine technology, and in particular to a gas turbine fuel atomization air mixing component. Background Technology
[0002] A gas turbine is a power machine that uses a continuously flowing gas as the working fluid to drive a high-speed rotating impeller, thereby converting the energy of fuel into mechanical energy. It has wide and important applications in many fields such as energy and aviation. During operation, the fuel and air must be thoroughly mixed and well atomized to ensure combustion efficiency and stable operation of the gas turbine.
[0003] However, existing fuel atomization-air mixing structures for gas turbines still have the following problems during use: 1. Impurities are easily present in the fuel, which, if not filtered, can affect the mixing effect; 2. The mixing and atomization degree of fuel and air is not ideal, which adversely affects the combustion efficiency and overall performance of the gas turbine. Therefore, we have introduced a gas turbine fuel atomization-air mixing component. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a fuel atomization air mixing component for gas turbines, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A gas turbine fuel atomizing air mixing assembly includes a tee, an air supply assembly fixedly sleeved at the left end of the tee, a first flange fixedly sleeved at the left side of the air supply assembly, a fuel supply assembly fixedly sleeved at the upper end of the tee, a filter assembly movably sleeved inside the fuel supply assembly, a second flange fixedly sleeved at the upper part of the fuel supply assembly, and an atomizing mixing assembly fixedly sleeved at the lower end of the tee.
[0006] Preferably, the atomizing mixing assembly includes an atomizing mixing tube, an atomizing mixing spiral plate is fixedly sleeved inside the atomizing mixing tube, a mixing nozzle is fixedly connected to the lower end of the atomizing mixing tube, and the upper end of the atomizing mixing tube is fixedly sleeved together with the lower end of the tee.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution: the atomizing mixing tube provides a channel for fuel and air mixing, and atomization... The mixing spiral plate enables the fuel and air to fully contact, mix and form a swirling flow during the flow, thus atomizing the fuel. The mixing nozzle then sprays out the atomized and mixed fuel-air mixture to provide a mixed gas for combustion in the gas turbine.
[0008] Preferably, the mixing nozzle is configured as a tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the cone-shaped mixing nozzle, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, can concentrate the mixed gas.
[0010] Preferably, the air supply assembly includes an air inlet pipe, a fixed cylinder is fixedly sleeved inside the air inlet pipe, a plurality of air diversion pipes are inserted and fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed cylinder, and the right end of the air inlet pipe is fixedly sleeved together with the left end of the tee.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, several air diversion pipes can disperse air into multiple airflows, allowing air and fuel to mix more thoroughly.
[0012] Preferably, several of the air splitters are arranged in a circular array around the center of the fixed cylinder.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the air distribution pipes in a ring array can allow air to enter the three-way valve from different directions, making the air and fuel more evenly distributed when they are initially mixed in the three-way valve.
[0014] Preferably, the fuel supply assembly includes a fuel inlet pipe, the upper part of the inner wall of the fuel inlet pipe has several T-shaped slots, the lower part of the fuel inlet pipe is fixedly sleeved with a fixing plate, the upper end of the fixing plate has several through-holes for fuel diversion, and the lower end of the fuel inlet pipe is inserted and fixedly connected to the upper end of the tee.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the fuel diversion orifice can disperse the fuel into multiple fuel streams, which facilitates mixing with air.
[0016] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a frame, with a filter screen embedded in the lower part of the inner wall of the frame, and a plurality of T-shaped plates fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the filter screen can filter impurities in the fuel.
[0018] Preferably, the sleeve is movably fitted inside the fuel inlet pipe, and the plurality of T-shaped clamps are respectively movably fitted inside the corresponding plurality of T-shaped clamp slots.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution: the combination of the sleeve frame and the T-shaped clamp plate and T-shaped groove, the filter assembly can be easily installed in the fuel inlet pipe, and the structure is stable after installation. At the same time, it is convenient to perform maintenance operations on the filter assembly later.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, the filter assembly frame is installed by engaging a T-shaped clamp with a T-shaped groove in the fuel inlet pipe. The external compressed air pipeline and fuel delivery pipeline are then connected via a first flange and a second flange, respectively. After entering the fuel inlet pipe, external fuel is filtered for impurities by the filter screen and then dispersed into multiple fuel streams through the fuel distribution holes of the fixed disc. External compressed air enters the air inlet pipe and is then divided into multiple air streams by the annular array of air distribution pipes. The two streams initially converge in the tee before flowing into the atomizing mixing pipe, where they are fully mixed and atomized by the atomizing mixing spiral plate. Finally, they are ejected through a conical mixing nozzle. This process not only filters fuel impurities but also achieves efficient mixing and good atomization of fuel and air, providing a uniformly mixed fuel-air mixture for the gas turbine combustion chamber and effectively improving the combustion efficiency and operational stability of the gas turbine.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: A gas turbine fuel atomizing air mixing assembly includes a tee 1, with an air supply assembly 2 fixedly sleeved at the left end of the tee 1, and a first flange 3 fixedly sleeved at the left side of the air supply assembly 2. The tee 1... A fuel supply assembly 4 is fixedly sleeved at one end, a filter assembly 5 is movably sleeved inside the fuel supply assembly 4, a second flange 6 is fixedly sleeved at the upper part of the fuel supply assembly 4, and an atomizing mixing assembly 7 is fixedly sleeved at the lower end of the tee 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, the atomizing mixing assembly 7 includes an atomizing mixing tube 71, an atomizing mixing spiral plate 72 fixedly sleeved inside the atomizing mixing tube 71, a mixing nozzle 73 fixedly connected to the lower end of the atomizing mixing tube 71, and the upper end of the atomizing mixing tube 71 fixedly sleeved together with the lower end of the tee 1; the mixing nozzle 73 is configured as a tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom; the air supply assembly 2 includes an air inlet pipe 21, a fixed cylinder 22 fixedly sleeved inside the air inlet pipe 21, a plurality of air diversion pipes 23 being inserted and fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed cylinder 22, and the right end of the air inlet pipe 21 being fixedly sleeved together with the left end of the tee 1; the plurality of air diversion pipes 23 are arranged in a ring around the center of the fixed cylinder 22. The array is distributed as follows: The fuel supply assembly 4 includes a fuel inlet pipe 41, with several T-shaped slots 42 on the upper part of the inner wall of the fuel inlet pipe 41. A fixed plate 43 is fixedly sleeved inside the lower part of the fuel inlet pipe 41. Several through-holes 44 are opened at the upper end of the fixed plate 43. The lower end of the fuel inlet pipe 41 is inserted and fixedly connected to the upper end of the tee 1. The filter assembly 5 includes a frame 51, with a filter screen 52 embedded in the lower part of the inner wall of the frame 51. Several T-shaped plates 53 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame 51. The frame 51 is movably sleeved inside the fuel inlet pipe 41, and the several T-shaped plates 53 are movably sleeved in the corresponding several T-shaped slots 42.
[0028] It should be noted that this utility model is a gas turbine fuel atomization air mixing assembly. In use, the frame 51 of the filter assembly 5 is fitted into the fuel inlet pipe 41 of the fuel supply assembly 4 through several T-shaped clamps 53 and several T-shaped slots 42. The air supply assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the external compressed air pipeline through the first flange 3, and the fuel supply assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the external fuel delivery pipeline through the second flange 6, thus establishing an external supply path for fuel and air.

With the help of the atomizing mixing spiral plate 72 fixedly sleeved inside the atomizing mixing pipe 71, the fuel and air are fully contacted and mixed during the flow. At the same time, under the action of the spiral plate, a swirling flow is formed, which breaks the fuel into fine droplets. The fuel-air mixture after atomization and mixing is sprayed out through the mixing nozzle 73 with a tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom at the lower end of the atomizing mixing pipe 71 and enters the combustion chamber of the gas turbine to provide a uniformly mixed fuel-air mixture for combustion.
