Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of temperature control, and in particular to a multi-temperature field automatic thermal cycle test device and a test method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In aerospace applications, many key components are repeatedly exposed to low and high temperature environments during service. In order to study the performance changes of materials or components after repeated exposure to extreme environments, a multi-temperature field automatic thermal cycle test device is required.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent with publication number CN115727434A discloses an automatic temperature control device, system and method. The automatic temperature control device is connected to a control device, and the control device is used to obtain the temperature of the environment in which a work station is located and the target temperature of the work station. The automatic temperature control device is used to adjust the temperature of the environment in which the work station is located. The automatic temperature control device includes a bellows, a shielding member and a mobile drive assembly; an air inlet is provided on the bellows, and the air inlet is used to supply cold air into the bellows, and the bellows is connected to the environment in which the work station is located; the shielding member is arranged on the bellows, and is used to move on the bellows to shield the air inlet; the mobile drive assembly is connected to the control device, and the control device is used to compare the temperature of the environment in which the work station is located with the target temperature, and control the operation of the mobile drive assembly according to the comparison result, thereby driving the shielding member to move.

[0004] Existing temperature automatic control devices usually have a single temperature field, which means that there is only one temperature or only one temperature can be achieved at the same time. For example, a high-temperature furnace can only achieve high temperature requirements. A single environmental chamber can use a compressor or a refrigeration medium to achieve a low-temperature environment, or it can use electric heating wires to achieve a certain high-temperature environment. The compressor method has a slow cooling rate and a limited low temperature range; the cooling rate of the cooling medium (liquid nitrogen, liquid helium) is faster, but the dissipation of the cooling medium directly increases the economic cost of using the environmental chamber; in addition, the environmental chamber is heated by electric heating wires, and the fan stirs the air to achieve a slow heating rate in a high-temperature environment; some high-temperature furnaces use silicon carbon rod heating elements with a faster heating rate, but high-temperature furnaces can only achieve a high-temperature environment.

[0005] Therefore, the inventors believe that it is necessary to provide a multi-temperature field automatic thermal cycle test device, which has multiple temperature fields including low temperature, normal temperature, and high temperature, and has the ability to quickly switch between different temperature fields and stably control the specified temperature. In addition, multiple temperature field switches also need to consider time and economic costs, so as to be able to conduct thermal cycle test research under a wide range of temperature changes.

[0052] The control instrument panel 25 of the electrical control unit is connected to the temperature sensor to directly control the high temperature and low temperature functional units.

The high temperature box temperature controller includes a high temperature thermocouple 8 for measuring temperature. Three high temperature thermocouples 8 are installed in the high temperature environment box 6, and the three high temperature thermocouples 8 are connected to temperature sensors respectively. The high temperature box temperature controller is connected to the temperature sensor, and the electric heating element 7 is controlled to work according to the measured temperature feedback of the temperature sensor.

[0053] The electric heating element 7 is generally a heating wire, which is installed on the four vertical inner walls of the high temperature environment box 6, that is, located on the front, back, left and right sides of the high temperature environment box 6. After the heating wire is energized, it generates heat for heating the environment box. The high temperature box fan is located on the back of the high temperature environment box 6.

The thin copper tube is connected to the liquid nitrogen solenoid valve 18, and the copper tube outlet is close to the low temperature box fan 20. When cooling, the low temperature box fan 20 works, and the cold air circulates in the environment box to evenly cool the environment box.

The low temperature thermocouple 19 is installed at the internal liquid nitrogen outlet to measure the temperature, and the feedback control instrument panel 25 controls the switch action of the liquid nitrogen valve.

[0056] The low-temperature environment box 21 has a cubic appearance, including an outer frame and an inner cavity. The low-temperature environment box 21 includes a low-temperature box upper door 16 in a translational opening form, the middle contact surface of the low-temperature box upper door 16 is covered with thermal insulation material, and anti-ice and snow coating is arranged on the translational slide rail of the low-temperature box upper door 16. The low-temperature box upper door 16 is connected to a low-temperature box door opening and closing drive device 17, which is generally driven by a pneumatic valve to realize the door opening and closing action. In the closed form, the thermal insulation material on the middle contact surface of the two opening doors can be passed through the lifting rope 12 connected to the lifting rack 11 without affecting the thermal insulation effect.

[0057] A rotating drive device is installed at the bottom of the rotating spindle 1, and the rotating drive device includes: a spindle gear 2, a rotating conductive slip ring 3, a spindle rotating motor 4, and a spindle rotating driving gear 5. The spindle rotating motor 4 is drivingly connected to the spindle rotating driving gear 5, and the spindle rotating driving gear 5 is drivingly connected to the spindle gear 2. The spindle rotating motor 4 drives the rotating spindle 1 to work and rotate through the gears. Considering that the temperature cycle is more, the rotating spindle 1 rotates infinitely in a single direction, and the conductive slip ring 3 is installed at the bottom 1 of the rotating spindle to connect the power supply to prevent the power line from being entangled due to too many rotation cycles.

[0058] The rotating spindle 1 is used in conjunction with the spindle rotating motor 4, the spindle gear 2 and the spindle rotating driving gear 5. The rotating conductive slip ring 3 is installed at the lower part of the rotating spindle 1, and the power line of the lifting wheel drive motor 23 is arranged along the spindle 1 through the rotating conductive slip ring 3.

[0059] The lifting operation mechanical arm 15 includes a lifting rope 12, a lifting support wheel disc 13, a lifting drive wheel disc 14 and a lifting wheel disc drive motor 23. The lifting wheel disc drive motor 23 is connected to the lifting drive wheel disc 14. The lifting rope 12 is wound around the lifting support wheel disc 13 and the lifting drive wheel disc 14. The lifting rack 11 is connected to the end of the lifting rope 12. The lifting rack 11 can be lifted in and out of the environmental chamber by the lifting rope 12 connected to the lifting operation mechanical arm 15. The lifting operation mechanical arm 15 tightens and releases the lifting rope 12 by rotating the lifting support wheel disc 13 and the lifting drive wheel disc 14. The lifting operation mechanical arm 15 is fixed on the rotating main shaft 1. Each time the sample changes the environmental field, the rotating main shaft 1 rotates 90 degrees, and the lifting operation mechanical arm 15 rotates together with the lifting rope 12, the lifting rack 11 and the sample.

[0060] The lifting rack 11 is mainly used to place the sample, and the initial height of the built-in platform of the environmental chamber is adjusted according to the size of the test piece. The lifting rack 11 is a hollow frame structure, which is conducive to uniform heating of the test piece.

[0061] The sample is placed in the lifting rack 11, which is connected to the lifting operation mechanical arm 15 through the suspension rope 12. The lifting rack 11 is lifted and lowered by the lifting wheel drive motor 23 to drive the lifting drive wheel 14. The lifting operation mechanical arm 15 is installed on the rotating spindle 1, and the rotating spindle 1 drives the sample to switch the temperature field.

[0062] The outer frame platform unit includes: a test device base, a high and low temperature environment box fixed frame, and a test platform 24. A control instrument panel 25 of an electrical control unit is installed on the test platform 24. All parameter settings of this application are completed on the control panel 25. The outer frame of the high temperature environment box 6 and the outer frame of the low temperature environment box 21 are both fastened to the high and low temperature environment box fixed frame.

[0063] In aerospace applications, the temperature difference between solar charging panels before and after illumination is very different. In order to test the performance stability of the panel material during its normal service life, it is necessary to conduct temperature cycle tests with repeated low-temperature and high-temperature transitions. This temperature cycle test requires thousands or even tens of thousands of cycles. A single environmental chamber that can achieve high and low temperature environments usually takes more than an hour to cool down from a high temperature of 200°C to -190°C and maintain stability. Similarly, it takes more than an hour to heat up from -190°C to 200°C and maintain stability. At the same time, the heating process consumes a lot of electrical energy, and the cooling process consumes a lot of cooling media. Regardless of the time cost and economic cost, an environmental chamber with a single temperature field is not suitable for the above scenarios.

[0064] The multi-temperature field automatic thermal cycle test device of the present application can be used as a single temperature field (low temperature or high temperature) or can perform automatic temperature rise and fall thermal cycle tests. The present application is particularly suitable for multiple thermal cycle tests to simulate extreme cold and high temperature environments.

[0065] The high temperature environment field and the low temperature environment field are on standby at the same time, and the normal temperature environment field plays a role in temperature transition. Reasonable setting of the relevant parameters of equipment material transfer can effectively speed up the progress of the test. Taking the circular arrangement of 1 high temperature environment field, 1 normal temperature environment field, 1 low temperature environment field, and 1 normal temperature environment field as an example, thermal cycle tests of 4 test pieces can be carried out at the same time. The material transfer is controlled by rotation, and a single test piece undergoes high temperature environment, normal temperature environment, low temperature environment, and normal temperature environment in turn (recorded as a temperature cycle). This cycle is repeated to carry out multi-temperature field automatic thermal cycle tests. The working logic sequence of the test device is shown in Table 1.

[0066]

[0067] Table 1 The working logic sequence of the test device

[0068] This application has multiple temperature fields including low temperature, normal temperature and high temperature. The low temperature uses a refrigeration medium to achieve rapid cooling, the normal temperature is in an air environment, and the high temperature uses a heating wire to achieve rapid heating. When the high temperature environment field space is large, a fan is used for stirring.

[0069] The multiple temperature fields of the present application are available at the same time or different temperature fields can be quickly switched. The three temperature fields included in the present application are on standby at the same time. The test samples are placed in a special rack, and the lifting rack 11 containing the samples is placed in or taken out of the low-temperature and high-temperature environmental fields by the lifting operation robot 15. The high and low temperature environmental fields are fixed when the test device is working. When the lifting rack 11 is taken out or put in, the switch door above the environmental field opens automatically, and when the low-temperature and high-temperature environmental fields are working, the switch door above is closed to achieve heat preservation. The lifting handle rotates around the rotating spindle 1, and the low-temperature environmental field and the high-temperature environmental field are relatively arranged in the first and third quadrants of the test device operating platform, respectively, and the second and fourth quadrants are normal temperature environmental fields.

[0070] The present application can realize the stable control of the specified temperature and the automatic control of the temperature field switching. The temperature of the low temperature environment field and the high temperature environment field is stably controlled by PID. The lifting handle automatically reciprocates around the rotating main axis 1, and the opening and closing door above the environment field is controlled by a pneumatic valve to realize the automatic control of the temperature field switching.

[0071] The multiple temperature field switching of this application fully considers the time and economic cost. The low temperature environment field and the high temperature environment field reach the specified temperature when on standby. When the sample is taken out and put in, there is a temperature fluctuation when the door is opened and closed, and the sample is quickly cooled or heated to the required temperature. When the sample is in the normal temperature field, a fan is used to blow air, which can make the sample cool down or heat up to normal temperature faster, so as to reduce the temperature difference with the next temperature field. This can not only reduce the time for the sample to heat up and cool down, but also reduce the use of cooling media to reduce costs.

[0072] Example 2
