Although the outer side of the space station cabin structure adopts a protective structure, there is still a risk of damage by impact, and there is a need for in-orbit repair of the metal structure cabin.

[0003] As space vehicles and space structures become increasingly larger, in-orbit in-situ construction has become a technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved. Space metal connection and additive manufacturing are the necessary means for in-orbit in-situ construction of large structures.

[0004] Electron beams have the advantages of high energy utilization, high equipment reliability, and good adaptability to vacuum environments, and are considered to be the most suitable space heat source for on-orbit manufacturing. The weightless transition of metal droplets in the space environment, the instability of the molten pool, the separation and solidification of the molten pool during cutting, and the control mechanism of interlayer bonding are quite different from those in the ground gravity environment, and it is difficult for simulation to fully simulate the actual on-orbit working conditions. At present, the space station's extravehicular test environment can be used to carry out experimental verification of electron beam on-orbit manufacturing technology and optimize the multifunctional electron beam thermal processing process technology. However, the conduction of space electron beam thermal processing experiments will produce excess materials such as metal vapor, which will cause safety hazards if leaked outside or inside the cabin.

[0005] In order to eliminate the potential safety hazard of excess materials generated by space electron beam thermal processing experiments contaminating equipment inside or outside the cabin, it is necessary to propose a space metal material thermal processing dust control system to protect the excess materials generated by the metal hot processing experiment from leaking out of the test device during the entire process from the start of the test to the return to the earth.

[0079] Example

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, a dust control system for hot working of metal materials in space provided in this embodiment mainly comprises a test box 1, a sealed storage part, a test piece part 15, a filter 5, a welder 16, a Z-direction motion mechanism 17, an XY-direction motion mechanism 26, etc. The test box 1 is a sealed structure, which provides a sealed space for hot working operation, provides an installation platform for hot working devices such as the welder 16, the Z-direction motion mechanism 17, the XY-direction motion mechanism 26, and provides an interface for storing and taking out the test piece 7 on the front panel.

[0081] The test chamber 1 is a sealed structure composed of multiple sets of frame panels, which provides a sealed space for hot working operations. The front panel is designed with grooves and openings for installing the sealed storage part and removing the test piece. The remaining panels provide installation interfaces for other single machines and mechanisms for hot working.

[0082] The test box 1 is formed by splicing six frame panels at the front, rear, left, right, top and bottom. Sealing gaskets are installed on the fitting surfaces of each panel to ensure the sealing of each splicing point.

[0083] The front panel is designed with grooves and openings for installing the seal 2, the specimen storage bag 4 and the end cover 3.

[0084] The sealing storage part is composed of a sealing member 2, an end cover 3 and a specimen storage bag 4, etc. Its main function is to block the specimen removal channel on the test box to prevent thermal processing dust from leaking out of the test box. Figure 6 shown.

[0085] The mouth of the specimen storage bag 4 is pasted on the bottom surface of the test box outlet groove to isolate the inside of the test box from the outside. The specimen storage bag 4 is folded according to the pre-formed shape and placed in the groove. The seal 2 is installed in the test box sealing groove, and then the specimen storage bag 4 is fixed in the groove through the end cover 3. Figure 3 shown.

[0086] The size of the specimen storage bag 4 is designed according to the maximum outer envelope and operating space of the hot-processed specimen, ensuring that the specimen can be completely placed in the bag and leaving an operating margin for two seals.

[0087] The end cover 3 and the sealing member 2 solidify the assembly state of the specimen storage bag 4, ensuring that the storage bag will not fall out of the assembly position when the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the test box changes.

[0088] The specimen part is composed of an unlocking component 6, a specimen 7, a locking column 8, a locking column spring 9, a specimen box 10, a first spring component 11, a locking component 12, a limiting component 13 and a second spring component 14.

[0096] When unlocking, the specimen part 15 moves to the unlocking position along with the XY motion mechanism 26, pressing down the unlocking rod 18, and the unlocking head 21 moves to the unlocking position; after the locking rod 22 of the locking assembly 12 is released from the constraint, it moves in the direction away from the locking base 24 under the action of the locking spring 23, so that the locking head 25 moves to the unlocking position, releasing the physical limit of the limit assembly 13; the limit assembly 13 moves toward the front panel along the slide groove under the action of the second spring assembly 14, and the lock column 8 moves toward the bottom under the action of the lock column spring 9, disengaging from the specimen 7, and the first spring assembly 11 pushes the specimen 7 to pop out of the specimen box 10. Fig.13 shown.

[0097] Filter 5 can be a mature product and installed in the corner of the test chamber. Its main function is to serve as a channel connecting the inside and outside of the test chamber to achieve gas medium exchange. It ensures that in the process of achieving internal and external pressure balance, the excess in the test chamber will not leak into the cabin or space. The position of filter 5 can be adjusted according to the layout of the interior of different test chambers.

[0098] The working steps of the entire hot processing dust control method are as follows:

[0099] Step 1: After the heat treatment of the specimen 7 is completed, the XY motion mechanism 26 moves the specimen part 15 to the unlocking position, triggering the unlocking assembly 6, the specimen 7 is unlocked, popped out of the specimen box 10, and the specimen storage bag 4 is pushed to contact the end cover 3;
