Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aircraft testing, and particularly relates to a temperature measuring device and a thickness design method for the heat insulation layer of an aircraft. Background Art

[0002] With the development of aircraft towards hypersonic, long endurance, near space and maneuverable flight directions, the aerodynamic heating problem faced by aircraft is becoming more and more serious. A conservative thermal protection design, which thickens the thermal insulation layer as much as possible on the outer surface of the aircraft, results in a large redundant mass and a small payload of the aircraft, affecting the overall performance of the aircraft; while an aggressive thermal protection design, which thins the thermal insulation layer as much as possible, may lead to the damage of the thermal protection structure during flight, resulting in flight failure. Therefore, it is crucial to carry out a proper thermal protection design. As an important parameter of the aircraft thermal environment, heat flux is the key to affecting the thermal protection design, which affects the selection of heat insulation materials, the thickness of the heat insulation layer, etc.

[0003] In related technologies, the acquisition of heat flux mainly relies on experimental testing methods, which mainly include ground test methods and flight test methods. Among them, the ground test method generally uses a shock tunnel to simulate flight similarity parameters and measures the heat flux by installing a heat flux meter on the model. However, due to the limitations of ground equipment capabilities, the ground test cannot fully reflect the actual flight situation, and some parameters cannot be simulated accurately, so the results of the ground test are prone to distortion. The data measured by the flight test method is true and effective. It uses a heat flux sensor or a heat flux identification device for measurement. Commonly used heat flux sensors generally use copper as the sensitive element and determine the heat flux by measuring the temperature change in a short period of time. However, for some high heat flux situations, when the temperature exceeds the melting point of the material, this type of sensor is not applicable; more importantly, using high thermal conductivity materials such as copper will cause a large difference in temperature between the sensor and its surrounding area, forming a low temperature area relative to the high temperature area of the nearby heat insulation layer, which is called the cold point effect, thus affecting the heat flux distribution on the surface of the heat insulation layer and failing to achieve the purpose of accurately measuring the heat flux on the surface of the heat insulation layer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of a temperature measurement device for the thermal protection layer of an aircraft is disclosed in the present application. The temperature measurement device includes a measurement component. The measurement component penetrates through the load-bearing shell 4 and the thermal protection layer 3, and the outer end face of the measurement component is flush with the outer surface of the thermal protection layer 3; several thermocouple wires 8 for measuring temperature are arranged inside the measurement component, and the thermocouple wires 8 are parallel to the outer end face of the measurement component. The dimensions of each thermocouple wire 8 from the outer end face of the measurement component are different. The material of the measurement component is the same as that of the thermal protection layer 3.

[0030] The temperature measurement device of the present application is applied to a flight test method. The outer end face of the measurement component is flush with the outer surface of the thermal protection layer 3, and the material of the measurement component is the same as that of the thermal protection layer 3. The temperature measurement device of the present application can be applied to high heat fluxes without worrying about the situation of material melting. At the same time, the same material and the flat outer surface can effectively avoid the cold point effect, form a stable and balanced heat flux distribution on the outer surface of the measurement component and the thermal protection layer 3, the measurement structure is accurate, and it can effectively assist in completing the design of the thermal protection layer.

[0031] The temperature measurement device of the present application can obtain the temperature data at different depths of the thermal protection layer 3 during flight, identify the surface heat flux of the aircraft according to the measured temperature data, and be used to guide and correct the design of the thermal protection layer 3.

[0032] In one embodiment, the measurement component includes a measurement core 1 and a protective sleeve 2. The protective sleeve 2 penetrates through the load-bearing shell 4 and the thermal protection layer 3. The protective sleeve 2 is in interference fit with the thermal protection layer 3, and a certain margin gap is reserved between the circumferential surface of the protective sleeve 2 and the load-bearing shell 4; the measurement core 1 is inserted through the center of the protective sleeve 2 in an interference fit; the thermocouple wires 8 are inserted through the measurement core 1.

[0033] The temperature measurement device of the present application focuses on fine structures. The protective sleeve 2 is in interference fit with the thermal protection layer 3, and the measurement core 1 is inserted through the center of the protective sleeve 2 in an interference fit, eliminating possible voids and facilitating the formation of a balanced heat flux. At the same time, the thermal protection layer 3 of the aircraft will undergo thermal deformation under the action of aerodynamic heating during long-term hypersonic flight, and misalignment may occur between the thermal protection layer 3 and the load-bearing shell 4. A certain margin gap is reserved between the circumferential surface of the protective sleeve 2 and the load-bearing shell 4, which can prevent the misalignment from squeezing and damaging the measurement component, ensuring that the measurement component will not be squeezed and collided with the load-bearing shell 4 when moving with the thermal protection layer 3, and improving the safety performance.

[0034] In one embodiment, the outermost thermocouple wire 8 among a plurality of thermocouple wires 8 is at a set distance from the outer end face of the measurement core 1. At this set distance, the thermocouple wire 8 can effectively measure the temperature and will not be exposed due to aerodynamic friction during the high-speed flight of the aircraft. The remaining thermocouple wires 8 are arranged at equal intervals from the outside to the inside, enabling high-quality temperature measurement.

[0035] Preferably, the number of thermocouple wires 8 is five, the set distance is 3 mm, and the distances between the remaining thermocouple wires 8 and the outer end face of the measurement core 1 are 5 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm, and 11 mm respectively.

[0036] In one embodiment, the measurement core 1 is provided with a plurality of radially penetrating holes 11 for accommodating the thermocouple wires 8, and the sensitive parts of the thermocouple wires 8 are located at the center of the length direction of the radially penetrating holes 11. Specifically, the thermocouple wire 8 is a K-type thermocouple wire, and the K-type thermocouple wire has two wires, and the two wires are partially wound into a sensitive part. The remaining parts of the thermocouple wire 8 respectively pass through the two ends of the radially penetrating hole 11.

[0037] Furthermore, the diameter of the radially penetrating hole 11 is larger than the diameter of the thermocouple wire 8, and the remaining voids after installing the thermocouple wire 8 in the radially penetrating hole 11 are filled with resin. Specifically, the diameter of the radially penetrating hole 11 is 1 mm, while the diameter of the thermocouple wire 8 is 0.5 mm. In the temperature measurement device of the present application, filling resin in the radially penetrating hole 11 avoids the shaking of the thermocouple wire 8 in the radially penetrating hole 11, ensuring the measurement stability; and the resin is the same as the component resin of the heat insulation layer 3 (a component material of the heat insulation layer 3), that is, the same as the component resin of the protective sleeve 2, making the material compatibility between the measurement core 1 and the protective sleeve 2 strong and the connection reliability good.

[0038] In one embodiment, the temperature measurement device further includes a pressing cover plate 5. The pressing cover plate 5 is fixed to the inner surface of the load-bearing housing 4 by a set screw 7, and the pressing cover plate 5 is closely attached to the inner end face of the measurement core 1. The pressing cover plate 5 presses the measurement assembly in the installation holes of the load-bearing housing 4 and the heat insulation layer 3. A lead hole 51 is opened in the center of the pressing cover plate 5; the measurement core 1 is provided with wire collecting grooves 12 communicating with its inner end face at both ends of the radially penetrating hole 11. The two ends of the measurement core 1 are led out to the inner end face through the wire collecting grooves 12 and pass through the lead hole 51, and are connected to a data acquisition device after passing through. The radially penetrating hole 11 is arranged radially, and the wire collecting groove 12 is arranged axially. The pressing cover plate 5 of the present application further strengthens the connection stability.

[0039] Specifically, the protective sleeve 2 includes a large-diameter cylinder and a medium-diameter cylinder, and the measuring core 1 includes a large-diameter cylinder and a small-diameter cylinder. The large-diameter cylinders of the protective sleeve 2 and the measuring core 1 have the same dimensions. The small-diameter cylinder of the measuring core 1 penetrates through the large-diameter cylinder and the medium-diameter cylinder of the protective sleeve 2. The large-diameter cylinder of the measuring core 1 is in close contact with the large-diameter cylinder of the protective sleeve 2, and the pressing cover plate 5 is in close contact with the large-diameter cylinder of the measuring core 1.

[0040] Preferably, a thermal matching layer 6 is further provided between the thermal insulation layer 3 and the load-bearing housing 4 for further heat insulation.

[0041] The present application also discloses a temperature measurement method based on the above temperature measurement device, including the following steps:

[0042] Installation holes are opened in the load-bearing housing 4 and the thermal insulation layer 3, and these installation holes are used to install the temperature measurement device. At the same time, a plurality of thermocouple wires 8 are installed inside the measurement component, and the thermocouple wires 8 are parallel to the outer end face of the measurement component; the thermal insulation layer 3 has a designed thickness.

[0043] The aircraft conducts a flight test, and the thermocouple wires 8 measure the temperature data during flight and feedback it to the data acquisition device. Specifically, the thermocouple wires 8 extend inward after passing through both ends of the radial through-hole 11 and are connected to the data acquisition device.

[0044] The surface heat flux is calculated using an inversion algorithm based on the temperature data, and the calculated surface heat flux is compared and analyzed with the predicted value of the surface heat flux. The thermal insulation layer is thickened or thinned based on the designed thickness. The data analysis device performs inversion algorithm calculation and analysis based on the data obtained from the data acquisition device. Specifically, there are already mature calculation cases of the inversion algorithm in the country.

[0045] The temperature measurement method of the present application uses a measurement component made of the same material as the thermal insulation layer 3. The measurement component is in the shape of a cylindrical plug and is tightly plugged between the thermal insulation layer 3 and the load-bearing housing. The thermocouple wires 8 are arranged at different positions along the depth direction. According to the measured temperature history during flight, the surface heat flux is obtained by using inversion calculation; this temperature measurement method avoids the cold point effect and the structural thermal matching problem existing in traditional heat flux meters. At the same time, it can also accurately measure the temperature distribution along the wall thickness direction of the thermal insulation layer 3, which is of great significance for the real heat transfer under the action of ablation and thermophysical and chemical effects. It can effectively promote the refinement degree of thermal protection design, design a thermal insulation layer 3 with appropriate thickness, promote the weight reduction and optimization of the thermal insulation layer 3, and improve the overall performance of the aircraft.

[0046] In one embodiment, the comparison graph of the measured time-temperature curve and the predicted time-temperature curve of five thermocouple wires is shown in Figure 5By comparing and analyzing the two curves, it is found that the heat protection layer design has a certain margin. Comprehensive evaluation (the rules of comprehensive evaluation are not introduced in detail in this application) shows that the heat protection layer can be thinned by 2-3mm.

[0047] Regarding the temperature measurement method, in one embodiment, the measuring component includes a measuring core 1 and a protective cover 2, the protective cover 2 passes through the load-bearing shell 4 and the heat-proof layer 3, the protective cover 2 is interference fit in the heat-proof layer 3, and a certain margin gap is reserved between the circumferential surface of the protective cover 2 and the load-bearing shell 4; the measuring core 1 is interference-pierced in the center of the protective cover 2; the thermocouple wire 8 is passed through the measuring core 1.

[0048] In the temperature measurement method of this application, the protective cover 2 has an interference fit with the heat shield 3, and the measuring core 1 is interference-threaded through the center of the protective cover 2, eliminating any potential gaps and facilitating a balanced heat flow. Furthermore, during prolonged hypersonic flight, the aircraft's heat shield 3 will thermally deform due to aerodynamic heating, potentially causing misalignment between the heat shield 3 and the load-bearing shell 4. A certain margin of clearance is reserved between the circumferential surface of the protective cover 2 and the load-bearing shell 4 to prevent this misalignment from damaging the measuring assembly and ensure that the measuring assembly will not be squeezed or collided with the load-bearing shell 4 as it moves with the heat shield 3, thereby improving safety.

[0049] Regarding the temperature measurement method, in one embodiment, the outermost thermocouple wire 8 of the plurality of thermocouple wires 8 is positioned a predetermined distance from the outer end surface of the measuring core 1. This predetermined distance allows for effective temperature measurement while preventing exposure to aerodynamic friction during high-speed flight. The remaining thermocouple wires 8 are arranged evenly spaced from the outside to the inside, ensuring high-quality temperature measurement.

[0050] Regarding the temperature measurement method, in one embodiment, the measuring core 1 is provided with a plurality of radial through-holes 11 for accommodating thermocouple wires 8 , with the sensitive portion of the thermocouple wires 8 located at the longitudinal center of the radial through-holes 11. Specifically, the thermocouple wires 8 are K-type thermocouple wires, which have two wires partially twisted to form the sensitive portion. The remaining portions of the thermocouple wires 8 extend through the ends of the radial through-holes 11.

[0051] Regarding the temperature measurement method, further, the diameter of the radial penetration hole 11 is larger than the diameter of the thermocouple wire 8, and the remaining gap of the radial penetration hole 11 after the thermocouple wire 8 is installed is filled with resin. Specifically, the diameter of the radial penetration hole 11 is 1 mm, and the diameter of the thermocouple wire 8 is 0.5 mm. The temperature measuring device of the present application fills the radial penetration hole 11 with resin to prevent the thermocouple wire 8 from shaking in the radial penetration hole 11, thereby ensuring the measurement stability; and the resin is the same as the component resin of the heat-proof layer 3 (a component material of the heat-proof layer 3), that is, the same as the component resin of the protective cover 2, so that the materials of the measuring core 1 and the protective cover 2 are highly compatible and the connection reliability is good.

[0052] Regarding the temperature measurement method, in one embodiment, the temperature measurement device further includes a pressing cover plate 5. The pressing cover plate 5 is fixed to the inner surface of the load-bearing housing 4 by a set screw 7, and the pressing cover plate 5 is in close contact with the inner end face of the measurement core 1. The pressing cover plate 5 presses the measurement assembly in the mounting holes of the load-bearing housing 4 and the heat-insulating layer 3. A lead hole 51 is provided in the center of the pressing cover plate 5; wire grooves 12 communicating with the inner end face are provided at both ends of the radial through hole 11 of the measurement core 1.
