Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microgravity liquid management. Specifically, it relates to a plate-mesh composite microgravity fluid full management device and an assembly method. Background Art
[0002] As one of the key technologies in space engineering, microgravity fluid management technology is widely applied to the four major systems of space vehicles: propulsion system, thermal control system, environmental control and life support system, and power supply system. Among them, gas-liquid separation and acquisition technology is the core of microgravity management technology. For example, in the propulsion system, the storage and supply of propellants require that the propellants delivered to the engine are gas-free and have sufficient flow rate; in the environmental control and life support system, the storage and supply of drinking water need to ensure water / gas isolation and safe water supply. Management devices based on the principle of surface tension are widely used in microgravity fluid management of various systems of spacecraft due to their characteristics such as small structural mass, good compatibility with liquid media, no moving parts, long service life, reusable, and high drainage efficiency.
[0003] With the rapid development of space exploration activities of spacecraft, surface tension management devices are also facing new challenges. For example, more stringent weight reduction requirements, pure fluid supply during rapid maneuvering overload in all directions, on-orbit refueling requirements, high mechanical environment adaptability, etc. At present, the mesh-type surface tension management device can achieve pure fluid supply during rapid maneuvering overload in all directions without prior liquid sinking operation, and has strong mechanical environment adaptability, but this type of device has a large structural mass and is difficult to achieve the refueling function; although the plate-type surface tension management device has a small structural mass, it must perform liquid sinking operation before achieving pure fluid supply during rapid maneuvering overload in all directions, and has poor mechanical environment adaptability. At the same time, the widely used refueling method is air cushion compression, and this scheme is only applicable to the pressure-drop type system and cannot be applied to the constant-pressure type system.
[0004] In summary, the surface tension management devices in the prior art cannot simultaneously achieve weight reduction requirements, fluid supply under maneuvering overload in all directions, on-orbit refueling requirements, high mechanical environment adaptability, etc. Summary of the Invention

[0079] Working principle
[0080] This plate - mesh composite microgravity liquid full - management device is installed inside the liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft. The liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft is a general component on the spacecraft, and the liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft adopts a spherical - cylindrical closed container structure. The plate - mesh composite microgravity liquid full - management device is connected to the gas and liquid nozzles on the shell of the liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft through the flat bottom plate of the gravity water tank 11 and the connecting seat 41 respectively.
[0081] Through the liquid collection and retention component 1 and the liquid guiding component 2, pure liquid supply of the spacecraft under various maneuvering overload conditions can be achieved, as follows:
[0082] When there is a positive maneuvering overload, the liquid in the inner cavity of the liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft sinks to the liquid end. At this time, the retention cavity of the liquid collection and retention component 1 is completely immersed in the liquid. Under the action of the pressurized gas, the bottom screen collector 14 and the angled screen collector 15 immersed in the liquid collect the pure liquid into the collection cavity and discharge it from the container to achieve supply. At the same time, the liquid end deflector 22 in the liquid guiding component 2 deflects the remaining liquid at the liquid end of the storage and supply container to the liquid collection and retention component 1 to supplement the supplied liquid.
[0083] When there is a reverse maneuvering overload, most of the liquid in the inner cavity of the liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft sinks to the gas end, but the liquid collection and retention component 1 uses the inverted conical cylinder and the concave - shaped opening cover plate of the gravity water tank 11 to hold the liquid in the retention cavity. Under the action of the pressurized gas, the angled screen collector 15 immersed in the liquid collects the pure liquid into the collection cavity and discharges it from the container to achieve supply. At the same time, the whole - cavity deflector 21 in the liquid guiding component 2 deflects the liquid at the gas end of the storage and supply container to the liquid collection and retention component 1 to supplement the supplied liquid.
[0084] When there is a lateral maneuvering overload, most of the liquid in the inner cavity of the liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft sinks to one side of the container. At this time, part of the retention cavity of the liquid collection and retention component 1 is immersed in the liquid. Under the action of the pressurized gas, the bottom screen collector 14 and the angled screen collector 15 immersed in the liquid collect the pure liquid into the collection cavity and discharge it from the container to achieve supply. At the same time, the whole - cavity deflector 21 and the liquid end deflector 22 immersed in the liquid respectively deflect the liquid in other parts of the storage and supply container to the liquid collection and retention component 1 to supplement the supplied liquid.
[0085] Through the gas venting component 3, gas venting and liquid blocking before the cushion pressure reduction and replenishment of the storage container can be achieved, as follows:
[0086] When the liquid consumption of the liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft exceeds 80%, most of the inner cavity of the container is occupied by gas at this time and is located in the central area of the container. At this time, the plug 32 transmits the gas into the exhaust liquid-blocking pipe 31 through its evenly distributed small holes and discharges it from the container. The liquid replenishment operation can be carried out until the air cushion pressure in the container is reduced to the specified value.
[0087] The fixed connection component 4 changes the spot welding connection method of the management device in the traditional liquid storage and supply container of the spacecraft to a screw connection method plus a spot welding connection method, which can effectively improve the overload resistance ability of the management device during the launch stage of the vehicle.
