Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a lunar dust prevention and control technology field, in particular to a comprehensive electric field dust removal under a lunar surface environment. BACKGROUND
[0002] When exploration activities are carried out on the lunar surface, active operations of astronauts and lunar equipment will cause the concentration of lunar dust to be much higher than the natural dust raising effect on the lunar surface. Due to the low gravity of the moon, the raised lunar dust particles are not easy to settle, resulting in the long-time suspension of these fine particles in the lunar surface and atmosphere. These charged micro-nano level lunar dust particles have extremely strong adhesion and can be firmly adsorbed on the surfaces of various devices, spacesuits and the like, forming a layer of dust that is difficult to remove. Lunar dust particles have high abrasiveness, which means that they will cause significant abrasion effect when in contact with the surface of the device or spacesuit, resulting in rapid deterioration of the surface performance of the device and the garment. For lunar equipment, the influence of lunar dust on sensitive areas such as the sealing system, the motion mechanism, the optical surface, the solar cell and the thermal control surface is particularly serious. For example, lunar dust particles can invade the sealing system, causing sealing failure and thus affecting the normal operation of the device. The lubricated part of the motion mechanism will also fail due to the abrasion of lunar dust, causing mechanical jamming and shortening the service life. The light transmittance of the optical surface will be significantly reduced due to the coverage of lunar dust, affecting observation and data acquisition. The energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell will be greatly reduced after being covered with lunar dust, directly affecting the energy supply. The heat dissipation performance of the thermal control surface will be reduced due to the coverage of lunar dust, thus affecting the temperature control of the device.
[0003] In addition, a large amount of lunar dust adheres to the spacesuit, and although it has been cleaned several times, it still cannot be completely removed. These particles will be brought into the living cabin of the astronauts. The biological toxicity problem of lunar dust cannot be ignored. Lunar dust particles are extremely fine and can easily be inhaled into the respiratory tract and lungs of astronauts, causing health hazards to the respiratory system. Long-term exposure to lunar dust may cause a series of health problems such as pneumonia, silicosis and the like. In addition, some components in lunar dust particles may have chemical toxicity, further exacerbating the threat to the health of astronauts. How to effectively prevent the influence of lunar dust on the device and the health of astronauts has become one of the key technical problems that must be solved in lunar exploration activities. SUMMARY

[0071] Embodiment nine, the embodiment provides an electric field dust prevention method for a lunar condenser, which is realized based on the comprehensive electric field dust removal module under the lunar surface environment provided by embodiment one, and includes:
[0072] Adopting traveling wave directional transport technology and electrostatic field electrode adsorption technology, the direction of lunar dust is controlled and the steps of adsorbing raised dust are controlled;
[0073] Adopting electromagnetic wave blowing technology, the step of removing lunar dust particles through Lorentz force is adopted.
[0074] Embodiment ten, in combination Figs. 1-3 The embodiment is described, the embodiment provides a comprehensive electric field dust prevention and removal system under the lunar surface environment, and the system includes the module provided by embodiment one.
[0075] Specifically:
[0076] As Figs. 2-3 shown, the comprehensive electric field dust prevention and removal system acts on the lander in the lunar exploration project, and is a system that arranges different dust removal measures for different raised dust conditions. The working principle is as follows: a part of the comprehensive electronic subsystem in the lander mainly provides energy, which is called a lunar dust prevention and control unit. Through the lunar dust prevention and control unit, a certain range of voltage output can be obtained. Through this adjustable voltage output mode, the minimum energy output is reasonably utilized to drive the dust removal means at each position, so that the best dust removal efficiency is achieved.
[0077] In this embodiment, the main measures used are condenser dust prevention, directional dust control and non-directional dust removal.
[0078] Dustproofing of the condenser is a dustproofing method designed for condenser equipment. The condenser is a device that uses sunlight to provide energy for related equipment, and the dust coverage on its surface can seriously affect the utilization efficiency of sunlight. For the process of prevention, control and removal, the condenser is more suitable for considering dustproofing from the perspective of dustproofing, so the array electrode repulsion technology is adopted. When the lunar dust is suspended in the lunar space, the electrode will repel the lunar dust particles with the same charge. A group of needle-shaped electrodes is perpendicular to the surface of the solar cell plate, and the electrode is connected to one end of the DC power supply, and the other end is connected to the entire protection area above, so that the electrostatic field direction is perpendicular upward and away from the protection surface. This technology uses stabilized DC power.
[0079] The key point of directional dust control is to control the direction of lunar dust, mainly applied to the dust that cannot be prevented, such as dust during lunar dust dumping and dust during related experiments. Lunar dust dumping can use traveling wave directional transport technology. This technology designs a layer of parallel alternating electrodes on the dust-attached surface. When the electrode applies AC power, there is a strong alternating electric field on the surface. Lunar dust particles are polarized under the action of the strong electric field, and the electric field force overcomes the adhesion force and gravity to produce directional jump. This method has obvious dust removal effect on small area, and is more suitable for being arranged at the dumping port to make the flying lunar dust directional return to the container. This technology uses multi-phase AC power. The dust during related experiments can use the electrostatic field electrode adsorption technology. This technology is to electrify two conductive plates, and the potential difference between the two plates will generate an electric field. Charged lunar dust particles are attracted to the charged plate of opposite polarity under the action of electric field force, thereby being removed. And the charged wires arranged on the lander body can also form a fine electrostatic field to adsorb a small amount of dust. This method is suitable for large-area control of dust, and it uses stabilized DC power.
[0080] Non-directional dust removal is suitable for scenarios where prevention and control technology is difficult to implement. Optical lens is a device that is difficult to implement prevention and control technology, and complex prevention and control means will affect the transmission of the light path, thereby losing both sides. The lunar exploration auxiliary robot will definitely be contaminated by lunar dust during exploration activities, and will be damaged by lunar dust. But the robot is working off-site, and the power supply it carries cannot provide too much energy to the lunar dust prevention and control device. Under these two working conditions, the dust removal technology of the last hand is more suitable, so the electromagnetic wave blowing technology can be used. This technology uses the principle of electricity generating magnetism, and the metal wire is wound in one direction to form a solenoid. When the current in the wire changes, the magnetic field also changes. The charged lunar dust produces Lorentz force under the action of the changing magnetic field, overcomes the adhesion force and gravity, and produces displacement to separate from the attached surface. This technology uses single-phase AC power.
[0081] The above-mentioned technical means of prevention, control and removal are integrated to design a lunar dust prevention and control unit. The lunar dust prevention and control unit can provide direct current and alternating current. For direct current, the lunar dust prevention and control unit can provide a range of voltage outputs. For alternating current, the lunar dust prevention and control unit can control the number of phases, frequency and amplitude of alternating current, and provide suitable parameters of alternating current for different lunar dust prevention and control methods.
[0082] The condenser includes:
[0083] The ring electrode is connected to the ground wire to form a stable zero potential point and generate a stable electric field to repel lunar dust around the condenser.

[0089] The conventional condenser shape
[0090] Concentrate and reflect sunlight. The condenser surface is covered with an electric field system that repels and removes lunar dust through the action of the electric field, keeping the mirror surface clean and improving energy collection efficiency.

[0094] The array of needle electrodes is covered on the support net covering the surface of the condenser, working in conjunction with the ring electrode to enhance the electric field distribution.
[0095] The condenser surface is covered with an electric field system that repels and removes lunar dust through the electric field formed by the ring electrode and the array of needle electrodes.
[0096] The low-voltage power supply system provides current to support the electric field generation and continuous action of the ring electrode and the array of needle electrodes.
[0097] Working principle:
[0098] Turn on the power supply system, and the electric field is automatically generated to continuously repel and remove lunar dust from the surface of the condenser.
[0099] The power system can generate electricity through solar energy, ensuring long-term use in the lunar environment.
[0100] Regularly check and maintain the power system and electrode connections to ensure the proper functioning of the electric field dust prevention system.
[0101] This electric field dust prevention device generates a stable and powerful electric field through the synergistic effect of the ring electrode and array of needle electrodes, effectively repelling and removing lunar dust, keeping the surface of the concentrator clean, and ensuring the high efficiency of the concentrator.
[0102] Embodiment eleven, in combination Figs. 1-3 To illustrate this embodiment, the above-mentioned technical solutions are further described in detail through specific examples:
[0103] Firstly, through the synergistic effect of the ring electrode and array of needle electrodes, the device can generate a stable and powerful electric field, effectively repelling and removing lunar dust, keeping the surface of the concentrator clean, and ensuring the high efficiency of the concentrator. Secondly, the device can operate automatically without human intervention, especially suitable for use in the unmanned lunar environment, significantly reducing the dependence on human resources. At the same time, compared with mechanical cleaning systems, the electric field dust prevention system requires almost no maintenance, reducing frequent maintenance and repair work, and improving the reliability and service life of the system.
[0104] In addition, the device requires low electric energy to maintain the electric field, which is a very efficient solution for lunar missions with limited resources, prolonging the operation time of the equipment. Its design is simple and robust, capable of stable operation for a long time in the extreme temperature, vacuum, and high radiation environment of the moon, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions.
[0105] The device helps to maximize the concentration and reflection of sunlight by keeping the surface of the concentrator clean, improving the energy collection efficiency and ensuring the efficient operation of the solar energy system. Its modular design makes it easy to disassemble and maintain, allowing flexible adjustment and expansion according to actual needs, suitable for solar energy collection systems of different scales.
[0106] The device is widely applicable to various lunar exploration and utilization tasks, such as solar energy collection systems for lunar bases, long-term stay probes, scientific instruments, and lunar mining equipment, etc., with broad application prospects. By keeping the equipment clean and operating efficiently, it reduces performance degradation and equipment damage caused by lunar dust accumulation, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment. Overall, this electric field dust prevention device not only achieves efficient dust prevention in terms of function, but also significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of the equipment in the lunar environment through its automation and low maintenance characteristics, providing solid technical support for future lunar exploration and utilization.
[0107] As Fig. 1 shown, the main expression of the dust removal device for the concentrator. Its main components include: located in the concentrator peripheral ring electrode, covering the array of needle electrodes on the surface of the concentrator and for concentrating and reflecting sunlight concentrator. Ring electrode connected to ground, forming a stable zero potential point, with the array of needle electrodes to generate a stable and strong electric field to repel and remove the lunar dust on the surface of the concentrator, to ensure its efficient operation.

Regular inspection: regular inspection of power supply system and electrode connection, ensure the normal operation of the electric field dust removal system. If necessary, electrode cleaning and power system maintenance. Troubleshooting: if the electric field dust removal effect is found to be reduced, check the power supply system and electrode connection, find fault and repair or replace damaged components. After the installation of the device on the lunar base, the concentrator remains clean under the action of the continuous electric field, so that the solar panels can maximize the collection and conversion of solar energy to provide a stable energy supply for the base.
[0109] The advantage of this embodiment is that the system gives a complete comprehensive dust removal solution for the lunar lander, by studying the dust raising degree of different working conditions, analyzing the relatively effective prevention-control-removal means of the working condition, and applying different electrostatic dust removal technologies, and making full use of the charged wires distributed on the lander body, which are used in dust removal means. The comprehensive electronic subsystem carried can output a range of parameters of multiple types of voltage. In specific implementation, the output parameters can be dynamically regulated to adapt to the lunar dust prevention and control system in the lunar environment, to prevent the difference between the earth and the moon from causing failure, and to achieve full coverage and efficient dust prevention-control-removal of multiple equipment with the smallest energy output.
[0110] It is applied to the lunar lander dust prevention and control in the lunar environment. When all the dust prevention-control-removal technologies are first started, the lunar dust prevention and control unit of the comprehensive electronic subsystem should be used to debug the parameters for each working condition to find the reasonable and effective voltage parameters under the corresponding measures. Each lunar dust prevention and control measure has different working time. For equipment that needs to be operated for a long time, such as the concentrator, the dust prevention measure needs to be started as soon as it is exposed to the lunar dust environment. For equipment that needs dust control measures, the dust control measures can be started in advance when the relevant work is performed, and the power supply can be stopped after the work is completed. For equipment that needs dust removal, a reasonable dust removal period is established, and dust removal is performed on the relevant equipment quantitatively and timely.
