Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of infrared detection, and specifically provides a throttle cooler and a throttle-cooled detector capable of achieving rapid cooling. Background Art
[0002] Infrared detectors are the core components of infrared technology and also the forerunners of the development of infrared technology. Infrared detectors have very wide applications in military and civilian fields such as missile guidance, space exploration, early warning satellites, and reconnaissance.
[0003] Traditional Stirling coolers are linear in shape and have the advantage of large cooling capacity, but they have complex structures, which are not conducive to the miniaturization and integration of detectors. Due to their large size, they are not suitable for handheld use, thus limiting their application scenarios.
[0004] In the field of small-scale cryogenics, throttle coolers have the characteristics of small size, compact structure, high reliability, and fast cooling rate, resulting in wide applications of throttle coolers in the infrared field. For example, weapons systems such as surface-to-air missiles with rapid startup usually use throttle-cooled detectors, such as the Stinger in the United States and the Igla in Russia. Throttle coolers are the best cooling method to enable detectors to quickly and accurately capture targets.
[0005] In the prior art, throttle coolers usually adopt a single-stage refrigeration method, resulting in a long cooling time. In addition, the pressure difference before and after the throttle element in the throttle cooler determines the quality of the refrigeration effect, and there is usually a certain gas accumulation at the back pressure of the existing throttle coolers, reducing the pressure difference before and after the throttle element and leading to an extended cooling time.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a solution to solve the problems in the prior art, improve the cooling rate of the throttle cooler, and shorten the imaging time of the infrared detector. Summary of the Invention

[0057] The specific working mode and working principle of a throttling refrigerator and a throttling refrigeration detector capable of achieving rapid refrigeration provided by the present invention are as follows: The throttling refrigerator adopts a conical structure, and the throttling refrigerator realizes refrigeration through components such as a heat exchange structure and a throttling orifice. Through thermodynamic processes such as heat exchange and throttling, cooling liquid is generated at the cold plate of the dewar, taking away the surrounding heat, thereby realizing the cooling of components such as chips, circuits, and cold shields.
[0058] A throttling refrigeration detector capable of achieving rapid refrigeration provided by the present invention adopts a two-stage refrigeration structure including a precooling stage refrigerator and a refrigeration stage refrigerator. The external high-pressure gas source is divided into two paths and enters the precooling stage refrigerator and the refrigeration stage refrigerator respectively. A part of the high-pressure gas passes through the finned tube heat exchanger of the precooling stage refrigerator, and then enters the throttling element of the precooling stage refrigerator, generating a cooling fluid to cool the throttling element of the refrigeration stage refrigerator. This cooling fluid can also flow back through the return channel of the precooling stage refrigerator formed by the gaps between the finned tubes of the precooling stage refrigerator, the finned tubes of the refrigeration stage refrigerator, the mandrel, and the inner cold finger, and exchanges heat with the high-pressure gas in the finned tubes of the precooling stage refrigerator and the finned tubes of the refrigeration stage refrigerator. Another part of the high-pressure gas passes through the finned tube heat exchanger of the refrigeration stage refrigerator, and then passes through the throttling element of the refrigeration stage refrigerator, generating a cooling fluid in the expansion chamber formed between the throttling element and the cold plate. This cooling fluid is connected to the external atmospheric environment through the return channel formed by the inner cold finger and the cold finger. By setting the return channel of the refrigeration stage cooler to communicate with the atmosphere, the back pressure is always relatively low during the entire refrigeration process, and the flow resistance in the return channel is small, which can increase the pressure difference before and after throttling and enhance the throttling refrigeration effect. In this way, the cycle repeats until the nitrogen refrigeration working fluid in the expansion chamber is liquefied to reach a refrigeration temperature range of 80K. The cooled working fluid conducts convective heat exchange with the cold plate of the dewar, thereby cooling optoelectronic components such as ceramic substrates, chips, and cold shields.
