Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ground simulation tests for aerospace engineering, and in particular to a lunar dust interference effect test platform suitable for a vacuum environment and a method for using the platform. Background Art

[0002] During the lunar landing process, the high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas generated by the lander's engine expands and diffuses to form a plume and further interacts with the lunar surface, which will have a strong comprehensive effect on the lander itself. The reflection of the plume and the lunar surface will produce a large aerodynamic interference force and aerodynamic heat on the lander itself. At the same time, the plume scours and stirs up lunar dust, and the plume impacts and erodes the lunar surface. These phenomena affect each other.

[0003] The existing technology faces the following problems: During lunar landing, the reflection of the plume and the lunar surface will cause significant aerodynamic thermal interference on the lander body. At the same time, the plume will scour and stir up lunar dust, and the plume will impact and erode the lunar surface. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct ground simulation tests of the combined effects of real engine gas and lunar dust. However, the design and application of existing test and measurement systems have two shortcomings:

[0004] (1) Stirred lunar dust will contaminate the vacuum system. The vacuum system uses a multi-stage vacuum pump set and liquid nitrogen / liquid helium cryogenic heat sinks to maintain a high dynamic vacuum level in the cabin under multi-engine operation. The heat sink is made of porous metal. The stirred lunar dust generated during the ground simulation test of the engine's real gas and lunar dust combined effect will contaminate the heat sink surface, seriously affecting the vacuum level in the cabin.

[0005] (2) Single measurement data. During a lunar landing, the reflection of the plume and the lunar surface will produce a large aerodynamic thermal disturbance on the lander itself. At the same time, the plume will scour the lunar dust and the plume will impact and erode the lunar surface.

[0006] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lunar dust interference effect test platform suitable for a vacuum environment and a method of using the same, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, this patent aims at the problem of testing the comprehensive effects of lunar dust on single and multiple engines with real gas. It invents a lunar dust interference effect test platform in a vacuum environment. The platform can measure the evolution of simulated lunar dust surface erosion pits, the size of the engine aerodynamic heat, and the height, speed and impact range of lunar dust under the action of real gas from multiple engines.

[0009] The present invention provides a lunar dust interference effect test platform suitable for a vacuum environment, comprising:

[0010] Vacuum container system: used to create experimental vacuum conditions and support equipment connection, including pressure vessel, PIV camera connection cable through-cabin flange, high-speed camera connection cable through-cabin flange, PLC&PXI cable through-cabin flange, camera vacuum protection cover and nitrogen cylinder;

[0011] Measurement system: used to obtain the parameters of the lunar dust interference effect, including a PIV camera, a high-speed camera, a heat flow sensor, a shadowless lamp, a PIV camera image acquisition and processing system, a heat flow acquisition system, a high-speed camera image acquisition and processing system, and a stabilized power supply;

[0012] Dust protection system: used to prevent lunar dust from contaminating the vacuum system, including lunar dust cover and vacuum gauge.

[0013] Through multi-system integrated design, comprehensive simulation of lunar dust interference effects and multi-dimensional data measurement in a vacuum environment are achieved, solving the problem of single function and susceptibility to lunar dust contamination in existing technologies.

[0014] Furthermore, in the vacuum container system, the pressure vessel has a size of Φ5.2m×12.5m, and the effective experimental space of the liquid nitrogen cryogenic pump is 138m 3 (Φ4.2m×12m), liquid nitrogen cold plate area 305m 2 The PIV camera cable and high-speed camera cable penetration flanges utilize standard LF250 flanges, secured to the pressure vessel with calipers and connected to the camera vacuum housing via a Φ40 bellows. The PIV camera cable penetration flange features two through-holes for connecting two PIV camera cables, while the high-speed camera cable penetration flange features three through-holes for connecting three high-speed camera cables. All five through-holes connect to nitrogen cylinders to maintain a constant operating temperature for the cameras. The PLC & PXI cable penetration flange features Y27A-37 and Y27-55 push / pull circular electrical connector sockets, respectively used for PLC & PXI cables for the heat flow sensor and vacuum gauge, and for the PLC & PXI cable for the voltage-regulated power supply, which powers the shadowless lamp. The standardized flange interface and nitrogen temperature control design ensure stable camera operation under normal pressure and temperature, preventing equipment failures caused by vacuum environments or overheating and improving test reliability.

[0015] Furthermore, the measurement system features a PIV camera with a maximum resolution of 2756×2208 pixels. The PIV camera image acquisition and processing system measures the height, velocity, and impact range of lunar dust. Three high-speed cameras, each with a maximum resolution of 1024×1024 pixels, are used. Two binocular high-speed cameras on top capture the three-dimensional coordinates of feature points, while a single high-speed camera on the bottom captures particle velocity. The high-speed camera image acquisition and processing system reconstructs the crater profile and depth in three dimensions and plots the particle trajectory. A GD series heat flux sensor is attached to the test engine, and the heat flux acquisition system measures the thermal effects of the interaction between the combustion gas and lunar dust. Shadowless lamps are arranged circumferentially around the lunar dust container. Light source limiters restrict the passage of monochromatic light with the same wavelength as the laser from the velocity measurement subsystem, and the system is powered by a regulated power supply. The integration of PIV, high-speed photography, and heat flux sensors enables non-contact and contact-based measurements of lunar dust trajectory, crater evolution, and aerodynamic thermal effects. This comprehensive data dimension enhances the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0016] Furthermore, the dust-proof system features a lunar dust cover constructed from a highly transparent acrylic sheet. Throughholes are reserved for the camera vacuum cover and the shadowless lamp, and the gap between the camera vacuum cover and the lunar dust cover is filled with multiple layers of sponge. A vacuum gauge is installed inside the lunar dust cover to monitor the pressure inside the cover in real time, adjusting the vacuum pump speed to prevent damage to the cover and contamination of the heat sink. The highly transparent dust cover, combined with a sponge seal and differential pressure monitoring design, prevents lunar dust from contaminating the vacuum system's heat sink and protects the cover from damage due to internal and external pressure differentials, ensuring test safety and maintaining a stable vacuum level within the chamber.

[0017] A method for using a lunar dust interference effect test platform suitable for a vacuum environment comprises the following steps:

[0018] Start the regulated power supply and signal acquisition system to ensure the normal operation of the shadowless lamp and collect signals from the heat flow sensor and vacuum gauge;

[0019] Start the PIV camera and high-speed camera and calibrate them to ensure that the test object is in the center of the field of view;

[0020] Start the vacuum pump group and pass nitrogen gas through the nitrogen bottle to the camera vacuum protection cover to cool it down, and monitor the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the lunar dust cover;

[0021] Real-time collection of lunar dust agitation process data and engine thermal effect data;

[0022] After data collection is completed, shut down the system and wait for the cabin pressure to balance with the atmospheric environment.

[0023] Standardized operating procedures ensure that all systems work together. Through pre-start calibration, real-time monitoring and pressure differential control, test efficiency and data acquisition stability are improved, avoiding test failures due to operational errors.

[0024] Furthermore, starting the regulated power supply and signal acquisition system specifically involves starting the regulated power supply to enable the shadowless lamp to operate normally, while simultaneously starting the PXI system to collect signals from the heat flow sensor and vacuum gauge. Initializing the light source and sensor signal acquisition in advance ensures data synchronization during the test and avoids data loss due to equipment startup delays.

[0025] Furthermore, the process of activating and calibrating the PIV camera and high-speed camera specifically involves activating the PIV camera and high-speed camera, activating the PIV camera image acquisition and processing system and the high-speed camera image acquisition and processing system after the equipment stabilizes, and calibrating the cameras to ensure that the test object is centered in the field of view and that images are captured normally. This warm-up and field of view calibration eliminates initial camera state deviations, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of image acquisition and providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent 3D reconstruction and trajectory analysis.

[0026] Furthermore, the real-time collection of lunar dust agitation data and engine thermal effects involves: PIV cameras measure the height, velocity, and impact radius of the lunar dust agitation; two high-speed cameras on the upper side capture the 3D coordinates of the crater's contour and depth and perform 3D reconstruction of the geometry, while a single high-speed camera on the lower side measures the particle's trajectory and velocity; and a heat flux sensor measures the aerodynamic thermal effects of the interaction between the plume and lunar dust at the engine base in real time. This simultaneous, real-time data collection from multiple devices enables dynamic tracking of multiple physical quantities related to the lunar dust interference effect. Combined with 3D reconstruction and trajectory analysis, this allows for a comprehensive assessment of the plume's mechanical and thermal effects, erosion and dusting, and transport effects, providing critical data support for lunar lander design.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. The test platform can protect the vacuum experiment container to prevent the contamination of the heat sink inside the container by the stirred-up lunar dust. At the same time, a vacuum gauge is installed inside the dust cover to monitor the internal pressure in real time to avoid damage to the dust cover due to excessive pressure difference between the inside and the outside.

[0029] 2. The system integrates a variety of contact and non-contact measurement equipment, and can obtain various types of data in ground simulation tests of the comprehensive effects of real engine gas and lunar dust, including the evolution of simulated lunar dust surface erosion pits, the size of the engine's aerodynamic heat, and the height, speed and impact range of lunar dust agitation.

[0078] In summary, the lunar dust interference effect test platform suitable for a vacuum environment and its use method provided by the present invention effectively solve the problem of single lunar dust contamination vacuum system and measurement function in the prior art through the innovative integration of vacuum container system, measurement system and dust protection system. The platform can not only simulate the interaction process between lunar lander engine plume and lunar dust in a high vacuum environment, but also synchronously obtain key parameters such as lunar dust agitation trajectory, crater evolution characteristics and aerodynamic thermal effect through multiple types of measuring equipment, providing comprehensive experimental data support for in-depth research on plume thermodynamic effect, erosion dusting effect and transport effect.
