Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of the intersection of aerospace mechanism and thermal control technology, and in particular to a stacked mechanical and thermal integrated retractable sunshade and temperature regulating device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace technology, its forms are becoming more diverse, its functions and structures are becoming more complex, and the types and quantities of payload equipment required to be installed are increasing.

[0003] On the one hand, spacecraft need to use thermal control technology to ensure that the equipment inside the spacecraft is always within an appropriate operating temperature range. The traditional method usually requires installing a heat sink on the spacecraft. Depending on the temperature regulation requirements, the heat sink sometimes needs to face the deep cold space to dissipate heat, and sometimes needs to face the heat source to heat. This function requires a lot of energy to adjust the position of the entire device to achieve it, which is not conducive to increasing the spacecraft's payload capacity and reducing launch costs.

[0004] On the other hand, some optical devices sometimes need to be shielded for heat preservation, and sometimes need to be observed without shielding, and different working modes have different requirements for ambient temperature. The existing scheme usually implements the heat implementation and shielding device separately. The thermal control adopts the conventional heat pipe heat conduction and heat dissipation surface plus heat dissipation. The shielding device is implemented with lightweight aluminum alloy / titanium alloy or fiber materials, which will occupy more effective layout space and weight resources, and the system efficiency is low, which puts forward restrictions on the use of optical equipment that needs flexible adjustment of temperature and observation field.

[0005] At present, the traditional method of using the whole device maneuverability and heat pipe heat conduction to meet the heat dissipation surface and thermal control requirements, as well as the flexibility required for ambient temperature, is achieved by the traditional use of thermal implementation and shielding devices. This method has the following disadvantages: 1) There are many mechanical interfaces with the entire satellite, and the satellite platform needs to provide radiation panels, adapter plates and heat pipe installation supports, which occupy a lot of space resources of the entire satellite, and the heat pipe layout is complex, making the assembly implementation difficult; 2) The sunshade movement mechanism and temperature control device are implemented separately, which are heavier and consume more power, reducing the energy utilization efficiency of the entire satellite; 3) It cannot meet the use requirements of optical equipment that have flexible adjustment requirements for both temperature and observation field of view. Summary of the invention

[0050] To better describe the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with schematic diagrams and examples. The present invention provides a stacked mechanical and thermal integrated retractable sunshade and temperature control device, which solves the problem of realizing a thermal control and temperature control device with variable spatial position, has a flexible thermal control and temperature control feature that can be deployed and retracted, and can improve the energy utilization rate and payload capacity of spacecraft.

[0051] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, firstly, a stacked mechanical and thermal integrated retractable sunshade and temperature regulating device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail, see Figure 1 The structure diagram of a stacked mechanical and thermal integrated retractable sunshade and temperature regulating device is shown, and the device includes: a driving device 1, a compression and release device 2, an in-position switch device 3, an expansion and retracting structure 4 and a sunshade and temperature regulating device 5.

[0052] The driving device 1 is fixedly connected to the spacecraft cabin panel, and the stowage structure 4 is hinged to the driving device 1. The driving device 1 is used to drive the stowage structure 4 to rotate around the rotation axis.

[0053] The compression and release device 2 is fixedly connected to the stowage structure 4, and is used to compress and fix the stowage structure 4 to the spacecraft cabin panel;

[0054] The in-position switch device 3 is fixedly connected to the stowable structure 4 and is used to indicate whether the stowable structure 4 is in-position.

[0055] In a compressed state of a stacked mechanical and thermal integrated retractable sunshade and temperature regulating device, the retractable structure 4 is closed in place, triggering the in-place switch of the in-place switch device 3. In the expanded state, the retractable structure 4 moves around the rotation axis to open, and the in-place switch is disconnected and has no signal.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the sunshade and temperature regulating device 5 is installed on the side of the stowage structure 4 facing the inner side of the spacecraft, and is used to provide sunshade protection and temperature regulation for the heat-sensitive loads inside the spacecraft. The various components work together to realize a stacked mechanical and thermal integrated stowage sunshade and temperature regulating device that can achieve the functions of heat preservation and temperature regulation in the stowed state and establishment of an observation channel in the deployed state.

[0057] Insulation pads made of polyimide or fiberglass are provided at the installation positions between the driving device 1 and the stowage structure 4, between the compression and release device 2 and the stowage structure 4, and between the sunshade and temperature regulating device 5 and the stowage structure 4 to achieve heat insulation installation.

After the spacecraft enters orbit, the pressing release device 2 is energized, the internal pyrotechnics are ignited, and the stacked mechanical and thermal integrated stowageable sunshade and temperature regulating device is unlocked, and the driving device 1 drives the stowage structure 4 to move and open or close.

[0060] Preferably, it also includes a temperature measuring and heating device 6; the temperature measuring and heating device 6 is used to measure the surface temperature of the sunshade and temperature regulating device 5, and perform heating treatment on the sunshade and temperature regulating device 5 when the temperature is lower than the temperature index.

The connector mounting frame 15 is used to bundle the cables of the drive component 12 and the switch component 32, and provide an installation interface for the electrical connector.

[0069] When a stacked mechanical and thermal integrated retractable sunshade and temperature control device is in a folded state, it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the switch bracket 33 so that the trigger head 31 contacts and applies pressure to the straight spring piece 321 in the switch assembly 32, so that the straight spring piece 321 and the bent spring piece 322 in the switch assembly 32 contact, and the switch 3 is in place to generate a trigger signal.

[0070] The trigger head 31 and the switch bracket 33 are both made of insulating materials, and polyimide PI can be directly used or an insulating treatment such as oxidation or electroplating can be performed on the surface of the metal material;

[0071] The switch assembly 32 is made of a material with good electrical conductivity. The metal may be beryllium bronze, aluminum alloy, etc., and the non-metal may be conductive plastic.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the switch bracket 33 has two slits on its side, and the switch assembly 32 is composed of a straight spring piece 321 and a bent spring piece 322. The two slits of the switch bracket 33 are respectively provided with grooves as positioning structures, and the bottoms of the straight spring piece 321 and the bent spring piece 322 are both provided with protrusions that match the groove structures. In the embodiment of the present invention, the height of the protrusions of the straight spring piece 321 and the bent spring piece 322 is designed to be 0.5 mm. The straight spring piece 321 and the bent spring piece 322 can be inserted from the side of the switch bracket 33 and fixed in the spring piece installation window of the switch bracket by a cover plate, ensuring that the relative positions of the straight spring piece 321 and the bent spring piece 322 remain unchanged during repeated use.

[0081] The heat conducting cavity 53 is composed of a heat pipe array and is used for heat conduction;

[0082] The phase change cavity 52 is provided with at least two filling holes, which are used to fill the phase change working fluid into the phase change cavity 52. ​​The filling holes appear in pairs, one for filling the working fluid and the other for determining whether the working fluid is full. Before filling, the phase change cavity 52 needs to be leak tested.

[0083] like Figure 2 As shown, the temperature measuring and heating device 6 includes: a temperature measuring probe 61 and a heating plate 62; there are multiple temperature measuring probes 61 and heating plates 62, and they are installed on the end surface of the sunshade and temperature regulating device 5 facing the inner side of the spacecraft cabin, and are used to obtain and adjust the surface temperature of the sunshade and temperature regulating device 5. The temperature measuring probes 61 are arranged in a dispersed manner, and the spacing setting should comprehensively consider the phase change heat transfer efficiency, temperature control accuracy and temperature uniformity requirements.
