For the existing single-chamber double-thrust solid rocket engine, the diameter of the throat part in the spray pipe is always constant, and the structure of the grain is mainly changed, so that the rocket engine has different thrust in a boosting stage and a cruising stage, for example, the grain is formed by adopting the combination of propellants with different combustion speeds, however, the pressure of the combustion chamber of the single-chamber double-thrust solid rocket engine in the boosting stage is not too high, otherwise, the thrust in the cruising stage is correspondingly low, and the thrust of the single-chamber double-thrust solid rocket engine is relatively small.

The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems in detail with specific embodiments.

In the jet pipe provided in this embodiment of the present application, in the boosting stage of the rocket engine, the first through hole 31 of the control valve 30 is communicated with the first channel of the throat liner 20, so that the air flow generated by the combustion chamber is ejected through the jet pipe, in the rocket engine from the boosting stage to the cruising stage, the driving mechanism 40 drives the control valve 30 to rotate, the communication between the first through hole 31 and the first channel is blocked, the air flow generated by the combustion chamber can be prevented from being ejected, and thus the thrust of the rocket engine can be changed, so that the rocket engine has different thrust in the boosting stage and the cruising stage, and further the thrust ratio of the rocket engine with the jet pipe can be increased.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, schematic perspective views of the nozzle provided in the embodiment of the present application in an open state and a closed state are respectively shown, where in the open state of the nozzle, the first through hole 31 of the control valve 30 is in communication with the first channel of the throat liner 20; the first through hole 31 of the control valve 30 is not in communication with the first passage of the throat insert 20 when the nozzle is in the closed condition.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the throat liner 20 is disposed in the housing 10, the throat liner 20 includes a first channel, and the outer peripheral wall of the throat liner 20 is connected to the housing 10, so that the first channel of the throat liner 20 communicates with the combustion chamber, so that the air flow generated by the combustion chamber can be ejected through the first channel. Optionally, the laryngeal mask 20 and the housing 10 are coaxially arranged, i.e. the central axis of the laryngeal mask 20 coincides with the central axis of the housing 10.
As shown in fig. 1 to 8, at least part of the control valve 30 is provided to penetrate the housing 10 and the throat insert 20 in the radial direction of the throat insert 20, and the control valve 30 includes a first through hole 31.

Under the condition that the rocket engine is switched from the boosting stage to the cruising stage, the driving mechanism 40 drives the control valve 30 to rotate, so that the extending direction of the first through hole 31 is parallel to the radial direction of the throat liner 20, alternatively, the central axis of the first through hole 31 is perpendicular to the central axis of the throat liner 20, the communication between the first through hole 31 and the first channel is blocked, the spray pipe is switched to the closed state, and the air flow generated by the combustion chamber can be prevented from being sprayed out from the first channel.
In this embodiment of the present application, by setting the control valve 30 and the driving mechanism 40, the nozzle is in an open state in the boosting stage and in a closed state in the cruising stage, so that the rocket engine with the nozzle has different thrust in the boosting stage and the cruising stage, and the thrust ratio of the rocket engine with the nozzle can be increased.
Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the aperture of the first through hole 31 gradually changes along the axial direction of the first through hole 31. Alternatively, the aperture of the first through hole 31 is gradually decreased and then gradually increased in the axial direction of the first through hole 31. By controlling the variation in the aperture of the first through hole 31 in the axial direction, the ejection speed of the air flow generated by the combustion chamber can be controlled.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate the reader to intuitively understand the arrangement relationship between the control valve 30 and the housing 10 and the throat insert 20, the driving mechanism 40 is not shown in fig. 1 to 7, and the structure of the driving mechanism 40 will be described in detail hereinafter, which is not repeated here.

In this embodiment, the timing device 42 starts the motor 41 after a working set time, and for a rocket of the same model, the working duration of the boosting stage is always constant, so the working set time duration of the timing device 42 is set to be the same as the working duration of the boosting stage of the rocket engine, and after the rocket is launched, when the rocket engine is switched from the end boosting stage to the cruising stage, the timing device 42 automatically starts the motor 41, so that the motor 41 drives the control valve 30 to rotate, and the nozzle is switched to the closed state.

I.e. the normally open nozzle and both nozzles are in an open state during the boost phase. The inventor finds that the pressure in the boosting stage can reach 21MPa through measurement and calculation.
In the cruising stage, the driving mechanism 40 in the two spray pipes drives the control valve 30 to rotate, and the communication between the first through hole 31 and the first channel is blocked, so that the two spray pipes are in a closed state. In the cruising stage, only the normally open spray pipe positioned at the center is in an open state. The inventor finds that the pressure intensity in the cruising stage can reach 2MPa through measurement and calculation. So that the thrust ratio of the rocket motor is greater than 10.
