[0002] Some pressure vessels containing low-temperature liquid need to take some heat and radiation protection measures when working in an irradiation environment to slow down the evaporation rate of the low-temperature liquid. For example, for a low-temperature upper stage of a rocket, in order to slow down the evaporation rate without causing too much negative impact on the carrying capacity and reliability of the carrier rocket, the heat and radiation protection mechanism is required to have high reliability and light weight. The traditional protection scheme is to spray a heat-resistant coating on the surface of the low-temperature container or to use an air-filled mast to form a sunshade. The former is simple in structure but not resistant to aerodynamic pressure washing, and additional protection measures need to be provided during the atmospheric flight stage, which is costly and heavy. The latter is complex in structure, low in reliability, and the air source for mast unfolding needs to be provided with an additional air path or gas cylinder.

A convex block 245 is arranged at the front end of the locking block 241. A recess is arranged at the front end of the rotating shaft 231.

[0043] The composite top plate 1 is provided with an electric control module. The electric control module comprises two-way remote control switches, a battery and wires. The input ends of the two-way remote control switches are respectively connected with the battery, and the output ends are respectively connected with the electric heating end 122 of the aluminum-plated flexible film unlocking assembly 12 and the electric heating plate 244 of the unlocking assembly.

[0044] AsFigures 10-11 As shown, the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 is wound along its length and bends along its width, so that when the wound thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 is fully extended, it bends along its width to form a straight structure with a certain rigidity; when the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 is fully extended, it extends downward and outward; when the aluminized flexible film 3 is fully unfolded, it is trapezoidal, with the inner end of the aluminized flexible film 3 being the upper base of the trapezoid and fixedly connected to the arc groove 115, and the outer end of the aluminized flexible film 3 being the lower base of the trapezoid, and its left and right ends being connected to the outer ends of the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 on the left and right driving mechanisms 2, respectively. In this embodiment, the outermost left and right ends of the aluminized flexible film 3 are respectively bonded to the outer ends of the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 on the left and right driving mechanisms 2 by double-sided polyimide tape.

[0045] like Figure 11 As shown, the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 has a length of L The central angle is α (60°≤α<360°), and the thickness is... t The fiber composite material was prepared to obtain an initial radius of R The longitudinally open round bar has a stiffness that can be customized according to actual needs.

[0046] In this embodiment, the composite material top plate 1 is made of carbon fiber-epoxy resin composite material. In some preferred embodiments, the matrix material may also be aluminum alloy, beryllium copper alloy, etc.

[0047] In this embodiment, the aluminum-plated flexible film material is a flexible film material, but silver-plated flexible films can also be used.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the environment experiences repeated sudden temperature changes, polyimide tape can be pasted on the aluminized flexible film in a grid pattern to prevent the film from being damaged due to sudden temperature rises or drops.

[0049] During installation, the central pivot, locking rope, and fixing plate are first installed on the second side plate using threaded connections. The locking block, spring, and support plate are then installed on the first side plate using threaded connections, and the central pivot is fixed by the interference fit of the grooves and protrusions. The inner end of the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod is wound around the central pivot through a rectangular hole. The six assembled drive mechanisms are then installed on the composite material top plate using threaded connections. The ends of the aluminized flexible film are respectively bonded to the outer ends of the two thin-walled elastic telescopic rods with radial curvature outward using double-sided polyimide tape, folded, and fixed in the arc groove at the lower end of the composite material top plate. The aluminized flexible film unlocking assembly is installed on the composite material top plate to fix the flexible film. The completed roll-type heat-proof and radiation-proof unfolding mechanism is installed on the top of the launch vehicle payload compartment, and the installation process is complete.

[0050] The embodiment also provides a working method of the above-mentioned reel type heat and radiation prevention folding and unfolding mechanism, comprising the following steps:

[0051] S1, initially, the aluminized flexible film 3 is in a folded state, and the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 is in a wound state.

[0052] S2, when the mechanism is to be opened, the upper computer sends a conduction signal to the two-way remote control switch of the electric control module on the composite top plate 1.

[0053] S3, the power supply circuit of the electric heating end 122 connected to the aluminized flexible film unlocking assembly 12 is turned on by the conduction of the one-way remote control switch, the electric heating end 122 is heated and electrified, the fixed rope 123 on the aluminized flexible film unlocking assembly 12 is heated and melted, and the aluminized flexible film 3 is released.

[0054] S4, the power supply circuit of the electric heating plate 244 of the unlocking assembly connected to the driving mechanism is turned on by the conduction of the other-way remote control switch, the electric heating plate 244 is heated and electrified, the locking rope 252 of the unlocking assembly on the driving mechanism is heated and melted, the locking block 241 is separated from the central rotating shaft under the contraction of the spring 242, so that the rotation of the central rotating shaft is constrained, and the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 is released.

[0055] S5, at this time, the aluminized flexible film 3 and the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 are both unrestrained. The thin-walled elastic telescopic rod 26 is automatically popped out outward under the action of the elastic strain energy stored therein, drives the aluminized flexible film 3 to be deployed outward, and forms a protective tent in the shape of a multi-prism pyramid.

[0056] The elastic strain energy comes from the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod. The thin-walled elastic telescopic rod in the reverse winding (crimping direction opposite to the bending direction) state has elastic strain energy. After the rotating shaft is unlocked, the elastic strain energy is released, so that the rotating shaft is popped out. The rotating damper plays a role in limiting the rotating speed of the rotating shaft in the process of the rotating shaft being popped out, so as to avoid the thin-walled elastic telescopic rod from being torn due to too fast deployment.

[0057] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in other forms. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above-mentioned technical content to obtain equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above-mentioned embodiments still belongs to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
