Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerospace thermal control technology, specifically to the design method and system of a temperature control device for a diaphragm tank, and in particular to a lightweight, high-stability temperature control device for a diaphragm tank and its design method. Background Technology

[0002] Diaphragm tanks use metal diaphragms to isolate the propellant from the pressurized gas. However, alternating temperature changes cause the propellant inside the tank to expand and contract, resulting in repeated fluctuations of the diaphragm in the same position, which can lead to diaphragm fatigue failure. Generally, spherical diaphragm tanks have a carbon fiber woven layer on the outside, which wraps around its aluminum alloy inner liner. The carbon fiber woven layer is made of carbon fiber strips woven on the surface of the aluminum alloy inner liner to form a spherical bamboo-like structure. The surface is uneven and has large gaps, with a roughness of more than 3mm. Active thermal control measures such as surface heating plates need to be applied to the surface. Silicone rubber needs to be used to fill the woven layer and wet the surface of the inner liner, which increases the weight of silicone rubber by more than the conventional heating plate application method.

[0003] The surface of a typical diaphragm tank is a smooth metal surface, which can be actively controlled by attaching conventional heating elements. However, this method cannot be used on uneven surfaces. For this type of tank, the temperature control device can only be implemented on the outermost carbon fiber braided layer. If heating elements or other active thermal control measures are attached to the surface of the carbon fiber braided layer, a thicker layer of silicone rubber needs to be applied to the corresponding position of the heating element according to its shape, filling the braided layer and impregnating the inner liner surface with silicone rubber before attaching the heating element. This method adds more silicone rubber weight than the conventional heating element attachment method, thereby increasing the launch weight of the spacecraft and increasing the spacecraft's payload.

[0004] Patent document CN109703043A discloses a method for attaching a deformation-resistant silicone rubber pad to a polyimide film-type heating element for spacecraft. The method includes: attaching a silicone rubber pad to the surface of a spacecraft gas cylinder; attaching a heating element, smaller than the silicone rubber pad, to the surface of the silicone rubber pad; and applying an additional layer of silicone rubber to the sides of the silicone rubber pad, scraping it into an angled shape. However, this patent document increases the weight of the silicone rubber, thus increasing the load on the spacecraft.

[0005] Patent document CN201124571Y discloses a pressure tool for attaching a heating element to a 10N thruster solenoid valve, comprising a binding strap, a pressure block fixed in the middle of the binding strap, and clamps on the edge of the binding strap for tightening the binding strap. The pressure block has symmetrical wedge shapes on both sides to compress the heating element as a whole; the longitudinal width of the wedge-shaped portion of the pressure block is greater than the width of the binding strap. However, this patent document differs from the technical solution of this invention.

[0006] The literature, "Analysis of On-Orbit Thermal Control Issues in Space Propulsion Systems" (Jia Shijin, Ming Zhangpeng, Liu Jianying, Fu Yang, Wang Guojun, *Spacecraft Environmental Engineering*, 2019, Vol. 2, pp. 165-170), analyzes the mechanisms of thermal control issues in long-term on-orbit spacecraft propulsion systems, focusing on the fatigue of propellant diaphragms due to thermal expansion and contraction and the overheating of engine valves. It summarizes the solutions and challenges for propellant thermal control and high-temperature conditions of engines and thrusters, proposes solutions based on a specific model, analyzes and predicts the effects of the improvements, and provides design suggestions for thermal control schemes for long-term on-orbit spacecraft. However, this literature does not disclose the device that ultimately achieves temperature control.

[0007] Patent document CN109613946B discloses a method for controlling the temperature disturbance of a spacecraft diaphragm tank on the working fluid volume, including S1, predicting the required temperature control target value for the diaphragm tank; S2, calculating the required heating amount of the diaphragm tank within a temperature control period based on the temperature control target value; S3, calculating the required heating duration within the temperature control period based on the required heating amount; and S4, heating the diaphragm tank according to the calculated heating amount and heating duration.

[0031] Example 3: Those skilled in the art can understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

[0032] This embodiment provides a lightweight and highly stable temperature control device for a diaphragm tank and its design method. The heating element size and power distribution are designed according to the characteristics and shape of the diaphragm tank. A silicone rubber dot bonding process is used to achieve lightweight and highly stable temperature control for the diaphragm tank with a carbon fiber woven surface and an aluminum alloy inner liner. Polyimide thin film heating elements are used.

[0033] The design method of a lightweight, high-stability temperature control device for diaphragm tanks includes the following steps: Step 1: Divide the spherical storage tank into latitudinal sections according to the gas-liquid distribution direction as the upper or lower hemisphere, and longitudinal sections along the circumference, thus forming latitude and longitude separated regions. Each region is in a column within the same longitude angle and in a row within the same latitude angle. Step 2: Use the latitude and longitude grid formed on the surface of the spherical tank as the area for attaching the heating elements, and use the unfolded size of each grid as the design size of the heating element. Define the radius of the spherical tank as R1, the longitudinal span angle of one column of heating elements as α, and the latitudinal span of one row of heating elements as θ (the first row is θ1, the second row is θ2…θ). i …θ n The latitudinal span of the two adjacent heating elements is δ (the first row is δ1, the second row is δ2…δ). i …δ n The meridional span angle between the centers of the two adjacent heating elements is β. Step 3: The geometric dimension of the heating element in the i-th row and single column is the upper edge radius R. (2i-1) lower half radius R (2i) Spacing L between top and bottom edges i Angle α of the top and bottom edges, angle θ of the side edges i The side radius is R1, and the heating element has an axisymmetric structure. The relationship is as follows: (1); (2); (3); The dimensions of the heating element in the first row and single column are as follows: upper edge radius R1, lower half edge radius R2, upper and lower edge spacing L1, upper and lower edge angle α, side edge angle θ1, and side radius R1. (4); (5); Step 4: Given the radius R1 of the storage tank, the latitude and longitude grid on the surface of the sphere tank can be determined by setting θ, δ, and β. To simplify the design, the latitudinal span θ of each heating element is the same (θ1=θ2…=θ). i …=θ n The latitudinal span δ of two adjacent heating elements is the same (δ1=δ2…=δ). i …=δ n Each column of heating elements has a meridional span angle of α; they are generally arranged symmetrically, therefore, the meridional span angle between the centers of two adjacent columns of heating elements is β=2π / m (m is the number of columns in the meridional direction); Step 5: Based on the simplification method in Step 4, the processing size requirements of the heating element, and considering the wiring spacing D of the heating element, the following correspondence exists: (6); (7); D is generally not less than 5mm.

[0034] The power distribution of the heating elements is designed based on the characteristics and shape of the diaphragm tank, including the following steps: Step a: Based on the layout of the heating elements on the hemisphere, first design the same power density for each heating element; Step b: Based on the characteristics of the heating element spot application, there is only radiative heat exchange between the heating element and the storage tank; Step c: Based on the thermal characteristics of the storage tank and the heating elements and power distribution, perform a thermal balance analysis, ensuring the safety of the heating elements by taking the heating element temperature as not exceeding 80℃, and obtain the initial value of the maximum power density under each heating element size design. Step d: To simplify the assignment of heating element power values, and considering the structural characteristics of the storage tank, heating elements at the same latitude can be assigned the same power density. During the thermal analysis, the power density on the same row of heating elements is adjusted and optimized. The optimization target is that the storage tank temperature fluctuation is better than ±1℃ and the liquid end temperature difference is better than 2℃. This yields the power density and power distribution for each heating element specification. Step e: Finally, based on remote control and telemetry resources and heating element production standards, heating elements of different specifications are connected in series and parallel to form one or more heaters, with the propellant outlet position of the storage tank as the temperature control point.

[0035] Instead of the conventional uniform application method, apply GD414 silicone rubber in dots to the bonding surface of the heating element. Use a standard 5mL syringe for dispensing, extruding glue columns of 2mm to 5mm in height, and then apply the glue. The diameter of the glue dot after bonding is 10mm. Apply glue every 20mm along the edge of the heating element, and approximately every 40mm along both the length and width of the heating element's interior. Also apply glue to the solder joints of the heating element's leads.

[0037] To address the challenge of lightweight and highly stable temperature control in diaphragm tanks with spherical carbon fiber braided aluminum alloy inner liner, this embodiment designs the heating element size and power distribution based on the characteristics and shape of the diaphragm tank, and employs a silicone rubber dot-attach process, proposing a lightweight and highly stable temperature control device for diaphragm tanks and its design method.

[0038] This embodiment provides a design method for a lightweight, high-stability temperature control device for a diaphragm storage tank, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Divide the spherical storage tank into latitudinal sections according to the gas-liquid distribution direction as the upper or lower hemisphere, and longitudinal sections along the circumference, thus forming latitude and longitude separated regions. Each region is in a column within the same longitude angle and in a row within the same latitude angle. Step 2: Use the latitude and longitude grid formed on the surface of the spherical tank as the area for attaching the heating elements, and use the unfolded size of each grid as the design size of the heating element. Define the radius of the spherical tank as R1, the longitudinal span angle of one column of heating elements as α, and the latitudinal span of one row of heating elements as θ (the first row is θ1, the second row is θ2…θ). i …θ n The latitudinal span of the two adjacent heating elements is δ (the first row is δ1, the second row is δ2…δ). i …δ n The meridional span angle between the centers of the two adjacent heating elements is β. Step 3: The geometric dimension of the heating element in the i-th row and single column is the upper edge radius R. (2i-1) lower half radius R (2i) Spacing L between top and bottom edges i Angle α of the top and bottom edges, angle θ of the side edges i The side radius is R1, and the heating element has an axisymmetric structure. The relationship is as follows: (1); (2); (3); The dimensions of the heating element in the first row and single column are as follows: upper edge radius R1, lower half edge radius R2, upper and lower edge spacing L1, upper and lower edge angle α, side edge angle θ1, and side radius R1. (4); (5); Step 4: Given the radius R1 of the storage tank, the latitude and longitude grid on the surface of the sphere tank can be determined by setting θ, δ, and β. To simplify the design, the latitudinal span θ of each heating element is the same (θ1=θ2…=θ). i …=θ n The latitudinal span δ of two adjacent heating elements is the same (δ1=δ2…=δ). i …=δ n Each column of heating elements has a meridional span angle of α; they are generally arranged symmetrically, therefore, the meridional span angle between the centers of two adjacent columns of heating elements is β=2π / m (m is the number of columns in the meridional direction); Step 5: Based on the simplification method in Step 4, the processing size requirements of the heating element, and considering the wiring spacing D of the heating element, the following correspondence exists: (6); (7); D is generally not less than 5mm.

[0039] Step 6: Based on the heating element layout on the hemisphere described in claim 2, first design the same power density for each heating element; Step 7: Based on the characteristics of the heating element spot application, there is only radiative heat exchange between the heating element and the storage tank; Step 8: Based on the thermal characteristics of the storage tank and the heating elements and power distribution, perform a thermal balance analysis. Ensure the safety of the heating elements by ensuring that the temperature of the heating elements does not exceed 80℃, and obtain the initial value of the maximum power density under each heating element size design. Step 9: To simplify the assignment of heating element power values, and considering the structural characteristics of the storage tank, heating elements at the same latitude can be assigned the same power density. During the thermal analysis, the power density on the same row of heating elements is adjusted and optimized. The optimization target is that the storage tank temperature fluctuation is better than ±1℃ and the liquid end temperature difference is better than 2℃. This yields the power density and power distribution for each heating element specification. Step 10: Apply GD414 silicone rubber in dots to the bonding surface of the heating element instead of the conventional uniform application method; Step 11: Use a standard 5mL syringe to dispense the glue, with the glue column height being 2mm to 5mm, and then apply it. After application, the diameter of the glue ball will be 10mm. Step 12: Apply adhesive every 20mm along the edge of the heating element, and apply adhesive every 40mm along the length and width of the heating element inside the heating element. Also apply adhesive at the solder joints of the heating element lead wires. Step 13: Finally, based on remote control and telemetry resources and heating element production standards, heating elements of different specifications are connected in series and parallel to form one or more heaters, with the propellant outlet position of the storage tank as the temperature control point.

Step 2: According to formulas (1) to (7), the dimensions of heating element type 1 to heating element type 5 are calculated as follows: α=18°, θ1~θ5=11.3°, L1~L5=100.2mm, R1=508mm, R2=498.2mm, R3=495.0mm, R4=463.0mm, R5=456.6mm, R6=404.1mm, R7=394.8mm, R8=324.5mm, R9=312.8mm, R 10 =228.3mm; Step 3: Thermal analysis showed a power density of 0.01 W / cm³. 2 The maximum temperature of the heating element is 70℃. Step 4: Thermal analysis was conducted with the optimization targets of tank temperature fluctuation better than ±1℃ and liquid-end temperature difference better than 2℃. The power densities of heating elements 1 through 5 were adjusted, obtaining power densities of 0.01 W / cm³ for each type. 2 0.008 W / cm 2 0.003 W / cm 2 0.002 W / cm 2 0.003 W / cm 2 ; Step 5: Considering the heater power supply voltage of 30V and the resource conditions of two heaters (main and backup), we can choose 8 symmetrically distributed columns. Each column of heaters is connected in series and then connected in parallel to form one heater. Therefore, the main and backup heating elements are distributed at intervals in the longitude direction.
