Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid level measurement, and in particular to a liquid level testing device suitable for range filling, and in particular to a liquid level testing device for range filling of a launch vehicle, which is suitable for monitoring and controlling the liquid level height when the launch vehicle is filled on the ground. Background Art

[0002] In many fields, real-time liquid level measurement can accurately reflect the current status information. For example, during the filling and flight of liquid rockets, the liquid level information of the propellant in the tank is a key parameter in the rocket control system. It directly participates in the adjustment of the control system and is one of the key factors that determine the success or failure of the launch. The new generation of launch vehicles widely use non-toxic and pollution-free liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, kerosene and other liquid propellants to replace conventional propellants that are highly toxic and dangerous. The liquid level measurement of cryogenic propellants requires high precision during filling, but the propellant level changes quickly, the temperature changes, and the liquid surface shakes.

[0003] At present, there are limited methods for measuring the liquid level of cryogenic propellants in liquid rockets in China. The main means for measuring specific liquid point positions of cryogenic fuels in the aerospace field at home and abroad is the annular capacitive liquid level sensor. The annular capacitive liquid level sensor uses different dielectric constants of different media as the measurement basis. The sensor sensitive capacitor is a multilayer annular capacitor composed of an inner ring and an outer ring. When liquid flows into or out of the multilayer annular capacitor, the dielectric constant changes, thereby causing a change in capacitance. After being converted into a voltage signal by a liquid level converter, the voltage signal is output to the back-end equipment.

[0004] However, there are many types of liquid level transducers involved in filling the tanks, and they need to collect and measure at the same time, and package the output voltage signals and transmit them to the back-end equipment, so that the liquid level information in each tank can be remotely and clearly obtained during filling. The liquid level signal emitted by a single capacitive liquid level sensor and processing circuit has low reliability. If any group of sensors or transducers fails, it will inevitably send out an erroneous liquid level signal. If the data of multiple sensors and transducers in the tank cannot be processed and compared in time, it may cause propellant filling errors and affect the rocket launch.

[0005] Therefore, during the ground propellant filling phase of the launch vehicle, the ground filling equipment is used to collect the liquid level signal in the tank, and the current liquid level height is calculated and transmitted to the measurement system in real time. This is crucial to controlling the amount of propellant in the tank and is of great significance in aviation, aerospace and related fields.

[0006] The patent document with the publication number CN109592082A discloses a device for detecting rocket power filling system signals. In order to solve the problem that there are many meter heads in the filling warehouse of the shooting range, the front and back end data of the filling system cannot be linked in real time, and the commonality between different models is not strong, the patent document provides a universal rocket power filling system signal acquisition device based on RS485, which can realize the purpose of concentrating the front-end warehouse meter heads in one combination and broadcasting and sharing the front and back end data in real time, and can be installed in the power filling system of different models of rockets.
