Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of thermal protection materials, and in particular to a surface-strengthened ceramic fiber flexible thermal insulation structure, a preparation method thereof, and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to the specific needs of aerospace and other industries for lightweight, highly heat-resistant flexible insulation materials, multi-layer insulation materials are widely used in thermal protection systems to maintain the temperature of the underlying structure within acceptable ranges. Ceramic fiber flexible insulation blankets, made of quartz needle-punched blanket and quartz cloth sewn with quartz sewing thread, are large-scale, reusable thermal protection components for the leeward side of the space shuttle. Their thermal protection performance has been fully verified in space shuttle engineering.

[0003] NASA's Ames Research Center developed the first generation of ceramic fiber flexible insulation blankets (Advanced Flexible Reusable Surface Insulation, AFRSI). This blanket was used as a large-area reusable thermal shield for the leeward side of the space shuttle and was fully validated in the US space shuttle program (Sawko, PM and HE Goldstein (1992). Performance of Uncoated AFRSI Blankets during Multiple Space Shuttle Flights. http: / / ntrs.nasa.gov). AFRSI is made of quartz needle-punched blanket and quartz cloth sewn with quartz sewing thread.

[0004] Furthermore, Calamito's research (Calamito, DP (1989). Tailorable advanced blanket insulation using aluminoborosilicate and alumina batting. NASA Contractor Report-177527) revealed a tailorable flexible thermal insulation material with a novel structural form, which has important applications in aerostats, spacecraft entry / return capsule parachute thermal protection systems, and more. Boeing's U.S. Patent 9,005,702B2 disclosed a reusable, high-temperature-resistant, flexible thermal insulation blanket for aerospace applications.

[0005] Hypersonic vehicles must withstand extremely high aerodynamic heating and pressure loads during the ascent and re-entry phases. The ceramic fabric on the top is easily torn and broken, causing physical damage and leading to water vapor infiltration. The method for improving the thermal insulation blanket is often to increase the density of the ceramic fabric to improve the high-temperature mechanical strength of the thermal insulation blanket. For example, China Publication No. CN114714686A discloses an antioxidant, low thermal conductivity, high-temperature resistant flexible thermal insulation material and its preparation method. However, the ability to resist airflow scouring and the thermal conductivity effect of this improvement method are still not ideal, which limits the application of ceramic fiber thermal insulation blankets in engineering. At present, there is an urgent need to explore a new type of surface-strengthened ultrafine ceramic fiber flexible insulation structure to ensure that the component has a high operating temperature while ensuring the aerodynamic smooth transition of the outer surface and improving the ability to resist airflow scouring.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] In the following specific embodiments, the manufacturer of quartz fiber cloth (silicon dioxide content 99.9%), quartz fiber cotton (silicon dioxide content 99.9%), quartz fiber blanket, and quartz fiber sewing thread is Hubei Feilihua Quartz Glass Co., Ltd.; the manufacturer of alumina fiber cloth (alumina content 95%), alumina fiber cotton, alumina fiber blanket, and alumina fiber sewing thread is Shanghai Rongrong New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.; and the high-temperature alloy woven mesh, high-temperature alloy sewing thread, reflective screen, and high-temperature alloy foil are commercially available.

[0062] The following embodiments of the present invention provide a surface-reinforced ceramic fiber flexible insulation structure, in which the insulation blanket is composed of a high-temperature alloy foil, a high-temperature alloy woven mesh, and a ceramic fiber layer from the high-temperature side to the low-temperature side, wherein the ceramic fiber layer is a high-temperature side ceramic fiber cloth, several layers of ceramic fiber filling layers, and a low-temperature side ceramic fiber cloth stacked in sequence, a reflective screen is provided between two adjacent layers of ceramic fiber filling layers, the ceramic fiber layer is fixed by ceramic fiber sewing thread, and the high-temperature alloy woven mesh and the ceramic fiber layer are fixed by high-temperature alloy sewing thread.

[0063] The surface-strengthened ceramic fiber flexible thermal insulation structure provided in the following embodiments of the present invention is prepared by the following steps.

[0064] Step 1: Cut and weigh the required high-temperature insulation materials as required.

[0065] According to the requirements of bulk density and size, calculate the mass of each component, cut and weigh to obtain the raw materials. Among them, the cutting dimensions of the low-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth, the ceramic fiber filling layer, and the reflective screen are determined according to the finished product size; for the high-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth closest to the heating surface, a unilateral side length allowance is reserved for hemming and sewing with the low-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth, and a unilateral side length allowance is reserved for the high-temperature alloy woven mesh and the high-temperature alloy foil for semi-surround edge sealing on the side.

[0066] Step 2: Structure from the low-temperature surface to the high-temperature surface of the ceramic fiber layer: The low-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth, the ceramic fiber filling layer, the reflective screen, and the high-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth are laid to obtain the ceramic fiber layer; or: The low-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth, the alternating structure of multiple ceramic fiber filling layers and multiple reflective screens, and the high-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth are laid to obtain the ceramic fiber layer.

[0067] Step 3: Sewing; Pass the ceramic fiber sewing thread through the ceramic fiber layer for sewing. When sewing at both ends, bend, stretch and tighten, finish with a knot at the edge, and remove the excess high-toughness ceramic fiber sewing thread to complete the sewing of the ceramic fiber layer.

[0068] Sewing method: The one-way sewing thread is sewn in a continuous "zigzag" shape, sewn from the upper and lower sides respectively. The penetration points of the sewing threads on both sides are the same, and the sewing thread directions are opposite; through this sewing method, a line that seems to form a continuous "grid" shape on the side when the two sides are combined is obtained.

[0069] Step 4: Cover a layer of high-temperature alloy woven mesh on the high-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth, and use the same sewing method as in Step 3 to sew and fix it with high-temperature alloy sewing thread; when sewing with high-temperature alloy sewing thread, it is sewn on the center line of the row spacing of the ceramic fiber layer. After the high-temperature alloy woven mesh and the ceramic fiber layer are sewn, the sewing threads on the inner and outer surfaces together form a "field" pattern, and the ceramic fiber layer and the high-temperature alloy woven mesh form the high-temperature alloy layer.

[0070] Step 5: Weld a layer of high-temperature alloy foil on its surface at the alternating connection points of the high-temperature alloy sewing threads by using brazing technology to complete the preparation of the surface-strengthened ultra-fine ceramic fiber flexible heat insulation blanket. The brazing material is in the form of paste or filament. The brazing process is to place the brazing material in the middle of the high-temperature woven mesh and apply appropriate contact pressure to the high-temperature alloy foil, and then place the entire component in a vacuum or inert gas brazing furnace, and the brazing temperature is 500 - 1260 °C.

The single-sided side length allowance is related to the sewing thickness of the heat insulation blanket. According to the thickness, reserve the single-sided side length, and the single-sided side length allowance is half of the side thickness, forming a semi-packaged structure with the side.

[0082] Step 2: Structure from the low-temperature surface to the high-temperature surface of the ceramic fiber layer: The low-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth, the ceramic fiber filling layer, the reflective screen, the ceramic fiber filling layer, and the high-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth are laid and processed to obtain the ceramic fiber layer.

[0083] Step 3: Sewing; Pass the ceramic fiber sewing thread through the ceramic fiber layer for sewing. When sewing at both ends, bend, stretch and tighten, tie a knot at the edge to finish, and remove the excess high-toughness ceramic fiber sewing thread to complete the sewing of the ceramic fiber layer.

[0084] Sewing method: The one-way sewing thread is sewn in a continuous "zigzag" shape, sewn from the upper and lower surfaces respectively. The penetration points of the sewing threads on both surfaces are the same, and the sewing thread directions are opposite; through this sewing method, a line that seems to form a continuous "grid" shape on the side when the two surfaces are combined is obtained.

[0085] Step 4: Cover a layer of high-temperature alloy woven mesh on the high-temperature surface ceramic fiber cloth. Adopt the same sewing method as in Step 3. The sewing row spacing of the ceramic fiber layer is 50 mm, and the stitch spacing is 10 mm. The sewing row spacing of the high-temperature alloy woven mesh is 50 mm, and the stitch spacing is 10 mm. Use high-temperature alloy sewing thread to sew and fix; when sewing with the high-temperature alloy sewing thread, it is sewn on the center line of the row spacing of the ceramic fiber layer. After the high-temperature alloy woven mesh and the ceramic fiber layer are sewn, the sewing threads on the inner and outer surfaces together form a "field" pattern, and the ceramic fiber layer and the high-temperature alloy woven mesh form the high-temperature alloy layer.

[0086] Step 5: Weld a layer of high-temperature alloy foil on the surface at the alternating connection points of the high-temperature alloy sewing thread by using brazing technology to complete the preparation of the surface-strengthened ultra-fine ceramic fiber flexible heat insulation blanket. The brazing material is in the form of paste or filament. The brazing process is to place the brazing material in the middle of the high-temperature woven mesh and apply appropriate contact pressure to the high-temperature alloy foil, and then place the entire component in a vacuum or inert gas brazing furnace. The brazing temperature is 65?C. The prepared surface-strengthened ultra-fine ceramic fiber flexible heat insulation blanket is as Figure 4 shown. Example 2
