Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of aerospace technology, and in particular to a structural thermal control integrated load-bearing component. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, a spacecraft can be divided into two major components: the payload and the spacecraft platform. The spacecraft platform typically includes the attitude and orbit control subsystem, the structure and mechanical subsystem, the thermal control subsystem, the power supply subsystem, and the measurement, control, and data management subsystem. Each subsystem is typically developed by a different research and development unit, with the top-level design of the spacecraft platform being led by the system, mechanical, and electrical engineering departments.

[0003] In existing non-integrated spacecraft structure-thermal control systems, the thermal control subsystem designs thermal control devices such as heat pipes, temperature evaporators, fluid circuits, or phase change energy storage plates based on the temperature control requirements of each subsystem, and proposes layout requirements for the thermal control devices. The mechanical system completes the spacecraft configuration and layout design based on the layout requirements proposed by the thermal control subsystem and other subsystems. The structure and mechanism subsystem then completes the detailed structural design based on the configuration and layout design, combined with mechanical performance requirements. This non-integrated spacecraft structure-thermal control system can meet the requirements of structure, thermal control functions, and performance indicators, but its disadvantage is that it increases contact thermal resistance. Specifically, in existing non-integrated spacecraft structure-thermal control systems, the thermal control device is installed between the spacecraft structure and the equipment. Heat generated by the equipment is first transferred from the individual equipment to the thermal control device, and then from the thermal control device to the spacecraft structure. There is contact thermal resistance between the stand-alone equipment and the thermal control device, and between the thermal control device and the spacecraft structure, that is, there are two contact thermal resistances, which leads to an increase in the temperature difference between the stand-alone equipment and the spacecraft structure, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area requirement of the spacecraft system and increasing the thermal compensation heating power requirement.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the present application provides a structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member, including a liquid injection end cover 01 and a main body 02, and one or more thermal control working fluid channels 07 with a length direction in a first direction are formed in the main body 02, and a side port of each thermal control working fluid channel 07 is sealed in the first direction, and the other side port of each thermal control working fluid channel 07 is sealed and connected to the liquid injection end cover 01, so as to add thermal control working fluid into each thermal control working fluid channel 07 through the liquid injection end cover 01, and the main body 02 has a mounting surface 18, the first direction is parallel to the mounting surface 18, and the distribution direction of each thermal control working fluid channel 07 is parallel to the mounting surface 18, and the distribution direction of each thermal control working fluid channel 07 is a second direction.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the thermal control medium channels 07 is preferably 1 to 10, for example, it can be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, preferably 8. In the embodiment of the present application, preferably, the main body of the structural thermal control integrated bearing member is manufactured by casting, 3D printing or milling with a shallow depth. At this time, the thermal control medium channel 07 is directly manufactured to be sealed away from the port of the injection end cover.

The heat generated by the equipment is directly transferred to the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member, without the need to set up a separate thermal control device between the spacecraft structure and the equipment. As a result, there is only one contact thermal resistance between the equipment and the spacecraft structure, making it difficult to increase the temperature difference between a single device and the spacecraft structure, thereby reducing the heat dissipation area requirement of the spacecraft system and reducing the thermal compensation heating power requirement.

[0057] Alternatively, as Figure 8 As shown, the thermal control medium channel 07 includes a main channel portion 22 and a plurality of capillaries 21. The cross section of the main channel portion 22 is circular, and the capillaries 21 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the main channel portion 22. The thermal control medium channel 07 also includes a plurality of connecting slits 23 that are connected to the main channel portion 22, and each connecting slit 23 is connected to each capillary 21 in a one-to-one correspondence. The capillary 21 provides a driving force for the flow of the liquid thermal control medium, so that the liquid thermal control medium can flow in the thermal control medium channel 07, thereby enhancing the heat transfer capacity of the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member. In the embodiment of the present application, the capillary 21 refers to a tube that can produce an obvious capillary phenomenon. The capillary phenomenon refers to the phenomenon that the liquid on the inside of a thin tubular object overcomes gravity and rises or falls due to the difference between cohesion and adhesion. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the capillaries 21 can be 10 to 20, for example, 12, 14, 16 or 18, and preferably 14.

[0058] Optionally, the injection end cover 01 includes a cover portion 09 and an injection tube 08 fixed to the cover portion 09, an injection hole 10 is formed on the cover portion 09, the length direction of the injection tube 08 is parallel to the first direction, and the cover portion 09 is sealed and connected to each of the thermal control medium channels 07;

[0059] The injection end cover 01 includes a plurality of injection pipes 08. A plurality of injection holes 10 are formed on the cover plate portion 09. The injection holes 10 are arranged in the second direction and communicate with the thermal control medium channels 07. The injection pipes 08 are installed in a one-to-one correspondence with the injection holes 10.

[0060] or,

[0061] The injection end cover 01 includes an injection pipe 08 . A injection hole 10 is formed on the cover plate portion 09 . The injection hole 10 is connected to the thermal control medium channel 07 . The injection pipe 08 is installed in the injection hole 10 .

[0062] In this way, when multiple thermal control working fluid grooves 07 are provided, multiple injection pipes 08 and multiple injection holes 10 are provided, thermal control working fluid can be added to each thermal control working fluid groove 07 through each injection pipe 08; when only one thermal control working fluid groove 07 is provided, thermal control working fluid can be added to the thermal control working fluid groove 07 through one injection pipe 08 and one injection hole 10.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, each of the injection holes 10 and each of the thermal control medium channels 07 can be connected in a one-to-one correspondence, or each of the thermal control medium channels 07 can be divided into several groups, wherein each of the thermal control medium channels 07 in the group is partially connected, and each of the thermal control medium channels 07 in each group shares a common injection pipe 08, for example, Figure 2 As shown, the eight thermal control medium channels 07 can be divided into four groups, and four injection pipes 08 are provided accordingly. The thermal control medium channels 07 in each group are partially connected, and the thermal control medium channels 07 in the group share one injection pipe 08 .

[0064] Optionally, the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a protective cap provided at the port of the injection tube 08, and the protective cap is used to prevent the port of the injection tube 08 from directly colliding with the outside world. After the thermal control working medium is added to the thermal control working medium channel through the injection tube 08, the injection tube 08 is protected by the protective cap to prevent the injection tube 08 from being damaged and causing the thermal control working medium to flow out of the injection tube 08. In the embodiment of the present application, when there are multiple injection tubes 08, the protective cap is mainly provided to protect the port of the injection tube 08 that is at risk of collision. Of course, when there is no risk of structural interference, the protective cap may not be provided.

[0065] Optionally, the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a reinforcing plate frame portion, the reinforcing plate frame portion includes a base plate 05, and a plurality of longitudinal ribs 04 and a plurality of transverse ribs 03 all vertically fixed to the base plate 05, the base plate 05 is arranged parallel to the mounting surface 18, and one side surface of the main body 02 is fixedly connected to the base plate 05 in the second direction, the transverse ribs 03 extend in the second direction, the transverse ribs 03 are fixedly connected to the main body 02, the longitudinal ribs 04 extend in the first direction, and the ends of the transverse ribs 03 away from the main body 02 are fixedly connected to the longitudinal ribs 04. In the embodiment of the present application, several refers to one or more. It can be understood that when there are multiple transverse ribs 03, each of the transverse ribs 03 is arranged in the first direction. In this way, the strength of the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing component is further improved by setting up a reinforced plate frame part, and the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing component is connected to the base plate 05 through the main body 02, so that the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing component is unfolded in a plate shape as a whole, thereby adapting to specific working conditions. Through a number of longitudinal ribs 04 and a number of transverse ribs 03, the strength of the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing component is improved from multiple directions, so that the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing component has higher reliability.

[0066] Optionally, the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member provided in the embodiment of the present application includes two of the reinforcing plate frame parts, and the two reinforcing plate frame parts are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body 02 in the second direction. By providing two reinforcing plate frame parts, the area that the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member as a whole can cover as a plate-like structure is increased, thereby improving the ability of the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member to reinforce the equipment structure, and further improving the strength and reliability of the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member. In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the transverse ribs 03 and the longitudinal ribs 04 are preferably 1.5 mm. Preferably, the main body 02 is formed by milling, and the material is magnesium alloy. Different working fluids are added to each adjacent thermal control working fluid groove 07. For example, if ammonia is added to one thermal control working fluid groove 07, then n-hexadecane (paraffin type) is added to the other thermal control working fluid groove 07, and the n-hexadecane (paraffin type) working fluid is preferably a mixed expanded graphite thermal conductive reinforcement material.

Thus, the main body 02 and the honeycomb core 13 together form a honeycomb-shaped load-bearing structure, giving the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member both a strong load-bearing capacity and excellent thermal control performance. Furthermore, the honeycomb sandwich structure has the advantage of a high surface-to-mass ratio, resulting in a lighter mass per unit area, thus saving launch costs.

[0069] Optionally, the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes an upper skin 12 and a lower skin 14, the honeycomb core 13 is plate-shaped, the mounting groove 17 passes through the honeycomb core 13 in a direction perpendicular to the honeycomb core 13, the upper skin 12 covers the top surface of the honeycomb core 13 and the mounting surface 18, and the lower skin 14 covers the bottom surface of the honeycomb core 13 and the plate surface of the main body 02 that is set away from the mounting surface 18. In this way, the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing member forms a honeycomb sandwich structure as a whole (which can be flat or curved), which has good load-bearing capacity and thermal control capabilities, and is more suitable for the installation of equipment with a plate-shaped bottom surface.

This is the upper and lower position relationship during the processing. Preferably, the main body 02 has a wall thickness of 1mm and a 1mm thick reinforcement structure is provided inside. The main body 02 is formed by milling, and the main body 02 is made of aluminum alloy. Of course, the mounting groove 17 can also be a non-through groove, that is, there is a thinned honeycomb core 13 below the mounting groove 17. This form can be used when heat transfer from one side of the upper skin 12 or the lower skin 14 to the other side is not required. In this way, the honeycomb core 13 is lighter.

[0070] Example 3

[0074] Compared with the existing non-integrated spacecraft structure-thermal control system, the structural thermal control integrated load-bearing parts provided in the embodiments of the present application only need to ensure equipment installation space, and will not cause the envelope size of the spacecraft system to increase.
