Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultra-low temperature pressure sensor pressure calibration, and in particular to an ultra-low temperature liquid intrusive pressure sensor calibration system, method and sensor. Background Art

[0002] As the main instrument for measuring pressure, pressure sensor plays an important role in the detection or testing process. When the normal temperature pressure sensor uses the pressure lead tube to measure the pressure of low temperature liquid, there will be a significant disadvantage of response lag and failure to obtain the high-frequency pulsation value of pressure.

[0003] With the development of aerospace, aviation, industrial transportation and other fields, the use of cryogenic fuels such as liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen is becoming more and more widespread. These low-temperature environments have put forward higher requirements for pressure measurement. Cryogenic pressure sensors play a vital role in these fields to ensure the safety and stable operation of the system. Especially in the spacecraft cryogenic propulsion and refueling system, its harsh test conditions and working environment determine the importance of high-precision measurement of cryogenic pressure parameters.

[0004] Ultra-low temperature liquid intrusive pressure sensors can directly contact and measure the working fluid being measured, and can obtain accurate cryogenic propellant pipeline pressure parameters in real time, thereby achieving high-precision measurement of cryogenic propellant pressure. They have become a key measurement component for improving the performance of propellant filling measurement and control systems, and are highly favored by researchers in the field of aerospace liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen engine measurement and control.

[0005] Under low temperature conditions, the thermal expansion and contraction of the pressure-sensitive element material of the pressure sensor, the influence of the internal structure and the manufacturing process, cause the sensor to have zero drift and sensitivity temperature drift. For the pressure sensor, if the calibration temperature and the operating temperature are different, certain additional errors will be generated, affecting its working performance.

[0006] At present, there are roughly two types of calibration devices for low-temperature pressure sensors at home and abroad. One is a calibration device under room temperature conditions. However, since the measurement error of the low-temperature pressure sensor can reach 10% due to the influence of temperature performance, it cannot more accurately display the actual effect of low-temperature pressure measurement. It is often used for calibration of industrial low-temperature pressure sensors with low error requirements.

[0007] The other is a device that performs calibration at low temperatures. However, the working principle of this calibration device is to cool the introduced gas by heat conduction to achieve a low-temperature environment, and to change the pressure of the introduced gas for pressure calibration. However, this calibration method cannot accurately simulate the actual test environment of the cryogenic liquid intrusive cryogenic sensor. In addition, the introduced gas almost always uses helium with a lower boiling point, which is different from the actual measured liquid working fluid.

[0008] Currently, the development of ultra-low temperature liquid invasive pressure sensors is still in its infancy. There is no public report or detailed description of the relevant ultra-low temperature liquid invasive calibration platform. It is basically focused on using gas pressure to calibrate sensors at low temperatures, rather than directly performing liquid invasive testing and calibration. This has limitations, does not conform to the ultra-low temperature liquid invasive working fluid measurement status, and cannot meet mission requirements.

[0009] When the calibration device of the ultra-low temperature liquid intrusion pressure sensor performs calibration measurement, it is necessary to ensure that the sensitive diaphragm of the sensor is in full contact with the cryogenic liquid, fully consider the accuracy of pressurization, overcome the influence of the liquid temperature gradient on the measurement and other factors, and at the same time avoid the pressure influence of the gas-liquid mixture on the output as much as possible. Only in this way can the ultra-low temperature liquid intrusion pressure sensor be calibrated more accurately.

[0010] In the prior art, the invention patent with the patent publication number CN115389099A discloses a pressure sensor calibration device, in which the insulation cylinder is formed with a first interlayer cavity, and the first interlayer cavity is filled with a liquid low-temperature medium. When the liquid low-temperature medium reaches the set liquid level, a low-temperature environment can be created in the cylinder cavity of the insulation cylinder, and the test core is surrounded by the low-temperature environment. The ambient temperature created by the insulation cylinder is more stable, and the pressure sensor can be calibrated in the low-temperature environment. However, this method forms the low-temperature temperature of the test by heat conduction, and there is no direct contact with the low-temperature liquid working medium of the test. The calibration test is performed using gas pressure, which does not meet the requirements of liquid invasive testing.

[0011] The invention patent with the patent publication number CN107941261A discloses a low-temperature test bench for sensor equipment, including a thermostat, an integrated tooling platform and a preloading device, wherein a liquid helium pool is provided in the thermostat, and the integrated tooling platform is located in the liquid helium pool; the preloading device includes a vacuum tube, a transmission unit and a force loading control unit, the transmission unit is located in the vacuum tube, the force loading control unit is connected to the transmission unit, the force loading control unit is sealed to the vacuum tube, and the vacuum tube is sealed to the top opening of the thermostat through a flange; the outermost layer of the integrated tooling platform is a vacuum box, the vacuum box is sealed to the vacuum tube of the preloading device, a test tool for installing the sensor equipment to be tested is provided inside the vacuum box, the transmission unit in the vacuum tube is connected to the test tool, and the performance of the low-temperature sensor under continuously changing temperature can be easily measured. However, in this patent, the low-temperature pressure sensor is placed in a vacuum environment, and the test is a mechanical pressure sensor, which is essentially different from a liquid intrusive pressure sensor.

[0033] The present invention also provides a method for using a calibration system for an ultra-low temperature liquid intrusive pressure sensor, comprising:

[0034] After the pressure sensor to be tested and calibrated is installed on the test chamber assembly 60, the test chamber assembly 60 is connected to the lower chamber 313;

[0036] After the test chamber 67 is evacuated, the vacuum insulation chamber 10 is evacuated;

[0037] After the vacuum insulation chamber 10 is evacuated, ultra-low temperature liquid is injected into the temperature control chamber 21, and the temperature control chamber 21 is exhausted to ensure that the pressure in the temperature control chamber 21 is the saturated pressure at the required test temperature;

[0038] At the same time, after the vacuum insulation chamber 10 is evacuated, ultra-low temperature liquid is injected into the pressure control chamber 31, and the temperature control chamber 21 is exhausted. When the liquid level of the ultra-low temperature liquid is flush with the bottom of the upper cavity 311, the injection of ultra-low temperature liquid is stopped;

[0039] After the ultra-low temperature liquid is added to the pressure control chamber 31, the pressure control gas component 40 supplies gas to the pressure control chamber 31 so that the pressure inside the pressure control chamber 31 reaches the set target, and at the same time, the exhaust and intake of the pressure control chamber 31 form an inlet and outlet balance.

[0040] The present invention also provides an ultra-low temperature liquid intrusion pressure sensor, which is calibrated using the ultra-low temperature liquid intrusion pressure sensor calibration system described above.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] The present invention adopts two layers of ultra-low temperature liquid chambers to form an annular nested structure, the outer annular cavity forms a temperature control cavity, and the inner cavity is a pressure control cavity required for different pressure calibrations. The beneficial effect is that the temperature control and the pressure control are independently controlled, avoiding the adverse effect of temperature changes with pressure on the ultra-low temperature invasive pressure sensor under different ultra-low temperature liquid pressure controls.

[0043] The present invention adopts vacuum insulation to insulate and isolate two layers of ultra-low temperature liquid chambers into a vacuum chamber, which has the beneficial effect of reducing heat leakage during the temperature control and pressure control process of the ultra-low temperature liquid, and facilitating the testing of temperature and pressure stability.

[0044] The invention adopts vacuum insulation to insulate the test chamber of the ultra-low temperature liquid intrusion pressure sensor, and at the same time sets a radiation cold shield to further reduce radiation heat leakage. The beneficial effect is to reduce the heat leakage of the ultra-low temperature liquid intrusion pressure sensor during ultra-low temperature liquid intrusion calibration, which is convenient for increasing the number of pressure sensor calibration and calibration time.

[0045] The invention adopts a test cavity bellows tube to connect the test cavity top flange and the ultra-low temperature test bench. The beneficial effect is that it can not only increase the conduction distance from the ultra-low temperature test bench to the normal temperature test cavity top flange, and reduce heat leakage from the test bench, but also can utilize the expansion and contraction of the bellows to achieve low-temperature sealing and normal temperature sealing at the upper and lower flanges of the test cavity.

[0046] The pressure control chamber of the present invention is designed to be divided into two parts, an upper part and an lower part, which are connected by a longer neck tube. The beneficial effect is that a phase separation function can be formed to avoid the influence of gas-liquid mixing on the calibration pressure when calibrating the ultra-low temperature liquid invasive pressure sensor at the bottom of the pressure control chamber. At the same time, it can also greatly reduce the heat load when the temperature of the lower temperature control chamber is maintained at a fixed point.

[0047] The invention uses a separately designed temperature control chamber to perform liquid immersion cooling and temperature control on the lower cavity only. The beneficial effect is that it can form a good given temperature point maintenance for the ultra-low temperature test bench at the bottom of the lower cavity, thereby realizing the calibration test of this type of pressure sensor at a fixed temperature. High-precision temperature control cancels the conventional heat conduction form of cooling and heating temperature control, and uses the one-to-one correspondence between the saturated temperature and saturated pressure of ultra-low temperature liquid. The temperature control chamber is set to control the temperature in the temperature control chamber by controlling the liquid pressure in the chamber, thereby realizing more precise temperature control.

[0048] The pressure control method of the pressure control chamber of the present invention adopts a larger pressure stabilizing chamber, and a standard pressure sensor and a pressure stabilizing chamber safety valve are arranged on it. The beneficial effect is that during the pressure control of the pressure stabilizing chamber, the safe use and discharge of the pressure in the pressure stabilizing chamber are guaranteed, and the outlet pressure of the pressure reducing valve is determined and checked to meet the calibration requirements.

[0049] The pressure control method of the pressure control chamber of the present invention also adopts a flow controller and a gas proportional valve. The beneficial effect is that fine control is achieved through the opening adjustment of the flow controller and the gas proportional valve, and the vaporized gas of the ultra-low temperature fluid caused by the additional heat load brought by the gas pressurization process can be released, thereby achieving high-precision pressurization at different pressures at low temperature.

[0050] The present invention can not only avoid the influence of gas-liquid mixing on the output pressure, but also realize different pressure calibration tests maintained at a fixed temperature to meet the research and calibration requirements of ultra-low temperature liquid invasive pressure sensors.

[0062] In this embodiment, the outlet of the high-pressure helium cylinder 43 is connected to the pressure reducing valve 44 and then connected to the pressure stabilizing chamber 42 through a gas pipeline. The outlet of the pressure stabilizing chamber 42 is connected to the pressure control air intake pipeline 41, which is connected to the upper cavity 311 through the vacuum chamber flange cover 12, thus forming a pressure air intake pipeline. The gas proportional valve 331 and the flow controller 332 are also connected to the upper cavity 311 through the vacuum chamber flange cover 12, so that a pressure exhaust pipeline can be formed by setting the flow controller 332 of the pressure air intake pipeline and adjusting the opening of the gas proportional valve 331.

Specifically, after the ultra-low temperature liquid is filled into the pressure control chamber 31, the pressure control chamber liquid inlet valve 322 is closed, and then the high-pressure helium cylinder 43 is opened, and the pressure reducing valve 44 is adjusted to reduce the pressure to the required test pressure, and the inlet and outlet gas balance is formed by the intake of the pressure control inlet pipeline 41 and the setting of the flow controller 332 and the valve opening of the gas proportional valve 331, thereby realizing the target pressure control in the pressure control chamber 31 and achieving the test conditions of the ultra-low temperature liquid intrusive pressure sensor.
