Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of space atmospheric density measurement technology, specifically relating to a heating cover for a two-section nonlinear radiating surface space atmospheric density sensor. Background Technology

[0002] Space atmospheric density sensors are primarily used to measure and assess the surface density of rarefied gases in space, aiding in the analysis and calculation of drag experienced by spacecraft during orbital flight. The sensor heats a heating shroud via electrical heating, and the radiating surface of the shroud heats a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) through radiative heat transfer, facilitating the thermal desorption of atmospheric molecules. The surface density of the space atmosphere is then calculated by measuring the frequency drift of the crystal oscillator. The radiative heat transfer characteristics between the radiating surface and the QCM are directly related to the configuration of the inner radiating surface. By optimizing the structural topology of the inner radiating surface, the radiative heat transfer per unit time can be effectively enhanced, allowing the QCM surface temperature to reach the target value more quickly. This effectively reduces the electrical heating required for the space atmospheric density sensor, thus meeting the low power consumption requirements of spacecraft during orbital operation. Currently, many space atmospheric density sensor heating shrouds use a single-segment linear radiating surface, which fails to maximize the radiative heat transfer per unit time to the QCM surface, thus preventing further reduction in heating time and lowering the power consumption of the spacecraft during orbital operation.

[0003] Current space atmospheric density sensors utilize thin-film heating elements, heating shrouds, QCM crystal coatings, and quartz plates. The original heating shroud's radiating surface had a generatrix of a straight line with a certain slope. This single-segment linear radiating surface failed to maximize the heat transfer per unit time to the QCM surface, thus preventing further reductions in heating time and spacecraft power consumption during orbit. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a two-section nonlinear radiative surface space atmospheric density sensor heating cover that can effectively enhance the radiative heat transfer capability between the heating cover and the QCM, reduce the heating time required for the desorption of atmospheric molecules from the crystal oscillator surface, and reduce the power consumption of the spacecraft during on-orbit operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a heating cover for a two-section nonlinear radiating surface space atmospheric density sensor, characterized in that it includes a housing, an atmospheric molecule inlet at the top of the housing, and a mounting base at the bottom of the housing for mounting and fixing the housing; the outer surface of the housing is in contact with an electric heating element, the atmospheric molecule inlet is the first radiating surface, and the lower end of the atmospheric molecule inlet to the bottom of the housing is the second radiating surface, wherein the generatrix of the first radiating surface and the generatrix of the second radiating surface are both curves.

[0006] The shape of the generatrix of the first radiating surface follows a nonlinear function y = a(e bx -1), the shape of the generatrix of the second radiating surface follows the nonlinear function y=cln(1+dx), where a, b, c, d are undetermined coefficients.

[0007] The design method for the busbars of the first and second radiating surfaces includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Randomly generate m0 groups of a, b, c, d, H using the central composite design method. n Values ​​as sample space, H n Let a be the vertical distance between the boundary line of the first and second radiating surfaces and the top of the heating shroud, subject to the constraint condition: a(e bHn -1)=cln(1+dH n ), cln(1+19.5d)=3.4, 0≤H n ≤19.5, a,b,c,d>0;

[0009] Step 2: Establish a numerical model for heat transfer of the space atmospheric density sensor based on the generated variable sample space, calculate the corresponding heating time τ, and obtain the implicit function τ0 = F(a, b, c, d, H) through a heuristic algorithm. n );

[0010] Step 3: Based on the sample space in Step 1 and the implicit function in Step 2, establish a self-guided online machine learning DNN network model. Through training, obtain the prediction objective function τ1 = f(a, b, c, d, H) between the target and factor variables. n );

[0011] Step 4: Based on the function argmin f(a, b, c, d, H) n Inversely solve for the new variable values ​​a', b', c', d', H. n ', and calculate the actual heating time τ according to step 2, if The predicted value τ1 then satisfies the convergence requirement, and the corresponding a', b', c', d', and H are output. n ' and τ; if the convergence requirement is not met, compare the current a', b', c', d', H n 'Whether it is equal to the existing variable value in the sample space, if so, add it along with the corresponding τ value as a new sample to the DNN network model for continued training; if not, in a', b', c', d', H n Add a perturbation at the location, calculate the τ value according to step 2, and then add it to the DNN network model until τ1 meets the convergence requirement;

[0012] Step 5: Based on the final output a', b', c', d', H n 'Calculate the actual heating time τ according to step 2.

[0013] This invention enhances the radiative heat transfer per unit time to the QCM surface by altering the geometry of the heating shroud's radiating surface, thereby increasing the product of the radiating surface area and the radiative heat transfer angle coefficient between the radiating surface and the QCM. Compared to the original atmospheric density sensor heating shroud, the heating time is reduced by approximately 18.6%. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Step 4: Based on the function argmin f(a, b, c, d, H) n Inversely solve for the new variable values ​​a', b', c', d', H. n ', and calculate the actual heating time τ according to step 2, if The predicted value τ1 then satisfies the convergence requirement, and the corresponding a', b', c', d', and H are output. n ' and τ; if the convergence requirement is not met, compare the current a', b', c', d', H n'Whether it is equal to the existing variable value in the sample space, if so, add it along with the corresponding τ value as a new sample to the DNN network model for continued training; if not, in a', b', c', d', H n Add a perturbation at the location, calculate the τ value according to step 2, and then add it to the DNN network model until τ1 meets the convergence requirement;
