Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical equipment technology, and in particular to an airborne optical window glass temperature and pressure difference testing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the integration of optical imaging equipment into airborne aircraft, optical window glass, as a crucial component of these devices, is widely used on the outer surface of the fuselage and at the light-transmitting windows of the imaging equipment. This optical window glass must ensure both functional light transmission and flight safety requirements. Regarding safety, considering the unique spatial location of the optical window glass—which isolates the aircraft into internal and external environments—during different phases of flight, the optical window glass will inevitably experience temperature and pressure differences between the cabin and the outside environment. Therefore, ground-based temperature and pressure difference tests are necessary to verify whether the optical window glass meets the safety requirements of the aircraft's flight environment at each phase. However, current technology lacks an effective solution for temperature and pressure difference testing of optical window glass. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an airborne optical window glass temperature and pressure difference testing device. This device has a simple structure, is easy to install and debug, and has low cost. It can perform various safety verification tests on optical window glass, such as temperature and pressure difference strength tests and destructive strength tests.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An airborne optical window glass temperature-pressure difference testing device, the device comprising a pressure transmitter (1), a pipeline (2), a flow control valve body (3), an electric heater (4), a high and low temperature test chamber (5), a sealed pressure test fixture (6), and a sensor (7), wherein:

[0006] The pressure transmitter (1) is used to provide a pressure medium;

[0007] One end of the pipeline (2) is connected to the pressure transmitter (1), and the other end is connected to the closed pressure test fixture (6). The pipeline (2) is divided into input and output pipelines, which are used to realize the back-and-forth transportation of pressure medium.

[0008] The flow control valve body (3) is installed on the pipeline (2) and is used to adjust the flow rate of the pressure medium according to the detection data of the sensor (7);

[0009] An electric heater (4) is installed on the pipeline (2) to heat the pressure medium in the pipeline (2) according to the detection data of the sensor (7) and the ambient temperature requirements;

[0010] The sealed pressure test fixture (6) and sensor (7) are installed in the high and low temperature test chamber (5) to control the temperature outside the aircraft cabin.

[0011] The closed pressure test fixture (6) receives the pressure medium transmitted through the pipeline (2) and simulates the cabin environment of an aircraft to conduct a temperature and pressure difference strength test on the optical window glass. The specific process is as follows:

[0012] When conducting the optical window glass temperature and pressure difference strength test, the pressure transmitter (1) inputs the pressure medium into the input pipeline (2), and the flow control valve (3) adjusts the flow rate through the input pipeline according to the pressure value measured by the sensor (7) and the test set pressure value. The pressure medium is heated by the electric heater (4), and the pressure medium that meets the temperature requirements enters the chamber of the sealed pressure test fixture (6) through the pipeline (2). At the same time, the pressure medium can also be transported back to the pressure transmitter (1) through the pipeline (2) to form a cycle. The circulating flow medium fills the chamber of the sealed pressure test fixture (6) with the temperature and pressure medium required for the test. The high and low temperature test chamber (5) provides the aircraft cabin temperature that meets the test requirements, thus forming a temperature difference and pressure difference between the aircraft cabin and the outside, thereby verifying whether the optical window glass meets the safety technical requirements of the aircraft flight environment.

[0013] The sensor (7) is installed inside the closed pressure test fixture (6) and includes a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor for measuring temperature data and pressure data.
