Abstract

This invention discloses an integrated load-bearing and sweating skin structure for additive manufacturing. Its key feature is that it is composed of three structures sequentially composited from the inside out: a thin-walled dense shell structure, a spatial lattice support-fluid infusion structure, and a capillary sweating structure. The thin-walled dense shell structure layer and the spatial lattice support-fluid infusion structure layer are integrally formed through additive manufacturing, with the lattice structure in the spatial lattice support-fluid infusion structure layer extending into the capillary sweating structure layer. This structure possesses excellent stress resistance and high sweating cooling efficiency, and can replace existing passive thermal protection structures for hypersonic vehicles. It can achieve miniaturization, lightweighting, and long-range capabilities, while reducing the failure risk caused by connecting multiple structures.
