Abstract
A bulkhead structure for separating two compartments in an aircraft engine inlet cowl or the like and for promoting fluid flow between the compartments is described which comprises a first flanged member having a first flange attached to the periphery of the bulkhead and a second flange having in a surface thereof a plurality of corrugations extending across the width of the second flange, and a second flanged member having a first flange presenting a first surface for attachment to the walls defining the compartments separated by the bulkhead and presenting a second surface attached to the second flange of the first flanged member for defining with the corrugations a corresponding plurality of passageways past the bulkhead at the periphery thereof.
Description
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States for all governmental purposes without the payment of any royalty.
The present invention relates to structures for conducting fluid flow past a bulkhead separating compartments in an aircraft, such as in the de-icing (or anti-icing) system of an aircraft engine inlet cowl or the like.
In certain types of conventional aircraft structures defining systems for preventing or removing ice accumulation from external surfaces of the aircraft, air heated by the engine(s) is directed against and along inner surfaces of the aircraft structure to be de-iced. Bulkhead structures separating compartments within the aircraft often interfere with smooth flow of heated air along the interior of surfaces to be de-iced. For example, in the housing structure of an engine inlet cowl in which the invention described herein is particularly applicable, heated air is directed against the inner surface of the leading edge, is conducted rearwardly along the inner surface of the cowling and through openings in the bulkhead separating the engine inlet cowl from the engine compartment, and is thereafter exhausted. In conventional structures, openings in the bulkhead for facilitating flow of air consist of drilled holes, cut-away slots or machined grooves, and procedures for fabricating these bulkheads reguire careful and time-consuming dressing of the edges of the holes to avoid crack formation and possible consequent structural failure of the airframe.
The invention solves or reduces in critical importance the problems in conventional aircraft structure as just defined by providing an edge attachment structure for joining a bulkhead or like structure to the walls defining the compartments separated by the bulkhead structure. Two flanged sheet metal members joined mechanically or by bonding provide attachment flanges for joining the bulkhead and compartment walls, one flanged member being formed with corrugations which when joined to the other flanged member form a plurality of smooth conduits through the periphery of the bulkhead at the compartment walls for promoting air flow between compartments along the walls.
It is therefore a principal object of the invention to provide structure for facilitating flow of a fluid along a surface.
It is another object of the invention to provide novel structure for facilitating air flow in a de-icing system for aircraft.
It is another object of the invention to provide improved structure for de-icing the inlet cowl of an engine.
It is yet a further object of the invention to provide a novel de-icing system for the inlet cowl of an aircraft engine utilizing air heated by the engine.
These and other objects of the invention will become apparent as the detailed description of representative embodiments proceeds.
In accordance with the foregoing principles and objects of the invention, a bulkhead structure for separating two compartments in an aircraft engine inlet cowl or the like and for promoting fluid flow between the compartments is described which comprises a first flanged member having a first flange attached to the periphery of the bulkhead and a second flange having in one surface a plurality of corrugations extending across the width of the second flange, and a second flanged member having a first flange presenting a first surface for attachment to the walls defining the compartments separated by the bulkhead and presenting a second surface attached to the second flange of the first flanged member for defining with the corrugations a corresponding plurality of passageways past the bulkhead at the periphery thereof.
The invention will be clearly understood from the following detailed description of representative embodiments thereof read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 shows an inlet cowl of an engine wherein the structure of the invention may typically be used:
FIG. 2 is a view along line B--B of FIG. 1 showing a preferred placement of the structure of the invention in a bulkhead separating compartments in an aircraft structure, specifically in an engine cowl housing; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a section of the structure of FIG. 2 showing a specific embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an inlet cowl 10 of an engine 11 representative of aircraft compartments within which the fluid flow passage structure of the invention may typically be used as part of a de-icing system in the aircraft. Cowl 10 conventionally has a housing including a leading edge 13, an inner surface 15 defining an air inlet for engine 11, and an outer surface 17 faired to the housing of engine 11 to define a smooth outer aerodynamic surface for the aircraft. Surface 17 typically presents a surface susceptible to the accumulation of ice the removal of which is an object of any de-icing system included within the structure of cowl 10. Referring now additionally to FIG. 2, a view along line B--B of FIG. 1 is presented showing schematically the inner structure of cowl 10 including a representative placement locus for the flow passage structure of the invention. In the operation of the aircraft powered by engine 11, air heated in engine 11 may be conducted through valved flow controllable conduit means 19 and directed against inner surface 20 of leading edge 13 of cowl 10 within compartment 25 defined therewithin. Bulkhead 23 is representative of wall elements separating compartments in aircraft construction, and is illustrated in FIG. 2 as separating compartment 25 from rearwardly disposed compartment 21 which may enclose engine 11. Bulkhead 23 may be constructed to promote flow of hot air from conduit 19 along inner surface 27 of wall 28 defining compartment 25 and supporting outer surface 17 of cowl 10, the air flow along surface 27 being represented in FIG. 2 by arrows 29. Accordingly, the flow along surface 27 is rearward through openings in the radially outward edge 31 of bulkhead 23 near the juncture of wall 28 with wall 33 defining compartment 21. The air is thereafter exhausted through ports (not shown) in an engine compartment wall aft of bulkhead 23.
Referring now to FIG. 3, shown therein is a drawing of a section of the structure of device 35 of the invention which may be installed in the location designated 31 in FIG. 2. Device 35 may serve as a structural member for joining walls 28,33 and bulkhead 23 at 31 and may extend in the structural form shown any selected peripheral extent of bulkhead 23 in which it is desired to provide passageways for the flow of heated air along surface 27. Device 35 may therefore comprise substantially the same structural material and thickness which comprises walls 28,33 and/or bulkhead 23, which structural selections provide a particular advantage of not creating a differential thermal expansion problem such as characterizes prior art structures fabricated with machined grooves.
The structure taught herein therefore provides and improved de-icing structure for aircraft facilitating flow of heated air along an inner surface of wall structure to be de-iced and through a bulkhead between adjacent compartments. Since the structure of the invention comprises a plurality of passageways formed in place by the assembly of component parts. the structure may characteristically have higher strength-to-weight ratio than that of prior art structures, may avoid stress risers leading to structural fatigue problems associated with drilled, machined or punched structures configured for corresponding function, and may have a significantly lower associated cost of fabrication.
Although a principal function envisioned for the structure of the invention herein is in conducting air flow within a de-icing system of an aircraft as just described, it is noted that the invention may be applied to structures of other systems for facilitating flow of fluid through or past a barrier separating two chambers at preselected, substantially uniform flow rate. For example, the invention may be used in the structure of a bulkhead separating fuel tanks for control of fuel level in the tanks or as a drain structure for liquid containing tanks.
The invention therefore provides an improved structure for conducting fluid flow past a bulkhead separating compartments in an aircraft which may be particularly useful in a de-icing system in an aircraft. It is understood that modifications to the invention as described may be made as might occur to one skilled in the field of the invention within the scope of the appended claims. All embodiments contemplated hereunder which achieve the objects of the invention have therefore not been shown in complete detail. Other embodiments may be developed without departing from the spirit of the invention or from the scope of the appended claims.
