[0002] The on-orbit filling valve is an important device for realizing the on-orbit propellant replenishment mission of future high-value satellites at the end of their lifespan, and is also one of the key devices for on-orbit services of manned space engineering. The main function of this device is to realize the connection and disconnection of liquid and gas circuits according to certain requirements, complete the opening and closing of the fluid sealing channel and the sealing maintenance through the cooperation of the active end joint and the end dynamic end interface, realize the transmission of propellant and pressurized gas between spacecraft, and complete the on-orbit propellant replenishment mission for the recipient spacecraft.

[0003] At present, the satellite constellation in orbit includes a large number of high-performance satellites. These satellites need to perform frequent orbital maneuvers when conducting detailed surveys of hot spots. Each orbital maneuver consumes a large amount of propellant, and the consumption of propellant becomes a key factor restricting their functions and orbital life. At the same time, since these satellites are expensive, if they are always used in a single-star one-time launch mode, it will cost a lot of financial resources. In addition, the consumption of gas and liquid in the manned space station itself requires cargo spacecraft to regularly replenish the space station propellant in orbit.

[0004] With the continuous improvement of satellite technology in the future, improving the efficiency of on-orbit resource utilization of spacecraft and reducing the cost of using on-orbit resources of spacecraft will become the key development direction of the future aerospace technology field.

The space on-track gas-liquid filling valve according to claim 1 is characterized by: The active joint (7) is provided with a sealing cone A at the end close to the active valve body (1), and the outer diameter of the sealing cone A gradually increases in the direction away from the sealing member A (5), and the sealing cone A is inserted into the active valve body (1); A sealing cone B is provided at the end of the passive joint (15) close to the passive valve body (21). The outer diameter of the sealing cone B gradually increases in a direction away from the sealing member B (16). The sealing cone B is inserted into the passive valve body (21).

6. The space on-track gas-liquid filling valve according to claim 2 is characterized by: The inner wall of the active joint (7) is provided with threads, and the inner threads of the active joint (7) are connected with a support ring A (8) and a small locking nut A (9); The inner wall of the passive joint (15) is provided with threads, and the inner threads of the passive joint (15) are connected with a support ring B (13) and a small locking nut B (12).

7. The space on-track gas-liquid filling valve according to claim 6 is characterized by: The active push rod (10) is a slender rod with an umbrella-shaped disk at the head; the thin shaft at the head of the active push rod (10) is inserted into the sealing member A (5), the umbrella-shaped disk contacts the end surface of the sealing member A (5), and the stepped shaft at the tail of the active push rod (10) is inserted into the supporting ring A (8), thereby achieving support and position limiting of the active push rod (10).

8. The space on-track gas-liquid filling valve according to claim 6 is characterized by: The passive push rod (14) is a slender rod with an umbrella-shaped disk at the head; the thin shaft at the head of the passive push rod (14) is inserted into the sealing member B (16), the umbrella-shaped disk contacts the end surface of the sealing member B (16), and the stepped shaft at the tail of the passive push rod (14) is inserted into the supporting ring B (13), thereby achieving support and position limiting of the passive push rod (14).
