Ground experiment system and experiment method for preparing porous ice layer through 3D printing

Abstract

The invention discloses a ground experiment system for preparing a porous ice layer through 3D printing. The ground experiment system comprises a cold environment box, a peristaltic pump, a three-axisguide rail, a computer host, a piezoelectric sprayer and a control unit. The piezoelectric sprayer can be replaced according to actual use requirements, and the spraying flow and the average particlesize of liquid drops are accurately adjusted through the size and number of micro-pores, the punching range and the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric sprayer. The control unit controls the temperature of the cold environment box, the movement of the sliding rail, the flow of the peristaltic pump and the frequency of the piezoelectric sprayer. According to the invention, an ice layer with stable physical properties can be printed on the surface of a flat plate or an irregular curved surface in a 3D manner for ground ice prevention and removal experiments. The system has the advantages of simple operation, simple structure, convenient installation, low energy consumption, convenient maintenance, obvious effect and the like, and can effectively improve the quality of ground cold environment ice prevention and removal experiments.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of aircraft anti-icing, in particular to a ground experiment system for preparing porous ice layers by 3D printing. Background technique [0002] Aircraft icing has always been one of the main threats to aviation safety. In order to study aircraft anti-icing, a ground cold environment test bench was established. The ground anti-icing experiment has high requirements on the physical properties of the ice layer. Ice layers with different porosities and pore sizes are prepared mainly by controlling the wind speed, freezing temperature, liquid water content (LWC), and average particle size (MVD) in the air duct. The physical properties of the ice layer directly affect the adhesion between the ice layer and the wall, the strength of the ice layer, and then affect the efficiency of the anti-icing system.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, icing wind tunnels or ground cold environment chambers are mainly used at home and abroad to prepare ice layers that meet the requirements. Although icing wind tunnel experiments can prepare ice layers that meet the requirements, due to the long experimental period and high cost, it is difficult to use them on a large
