[0002] The external thermal environment of an airborne photoelectric product is relatively severe, and temperature change often directly affects product performance. With more and more functions and higher and higher performance indexes of a new generation of airborne photoelectric products, the heat consumption of internal electronic devices of the products is continuously increasing, and the problem of performance index decline caused by temperature factors is increasingly prominent. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out thermal control design technical requirements of an airborne photoelectric system, control temperature distribution and uniformity of the system, and especially for photoelectric products that need to work at constant temperature, it is necessary to make them work at constant temperature in the best working state. Meanwhile, with the continuous development of electronic components, the power density of airborne components is greatly improved, and the volume heat power of the equipment during work is greatly increased. For some precision equipment, it is very important to timely dissipate the heat generated by the electronic components in the equipment to the environment to keep the equipment in a normal working temperature, which is of great significance to the reliability of the equipment.

[0004] As one of the aircraft mission systems, with the continuous increase of the power density of avionics, the traditional air-conditioning air cooling system in the air has been difficult to meet the heat dissipation demand. The liquid cooling resource of the airborne photoelectric product is supplied by the aircraft, and due to the different flight altitudes, regions and postures during the execution of the task of the aircraft, the temperature of the cooling liquid of the aircraft liquid cooling system changes with the flight state in the air, so that the temperature of the cooling liquid on the aircraft changes greatly (the temperature range is about 0℃-60℃). The cooling liquid of the aircraft liquid cooling system is the input source of the liquid cooling system of the airborne photoelectric product, and the temperature change of the cooling liquid supplied by the aircraft has a great influence on the control system of the airborne photoelectric product.

[0042] The temperature acquisition module in this embodiment is specifically three temperature sensors, and the temperature acquisition module is used for acquiring the temperature of the cooling liquid, the temperature of the constant temperature object 5 and the temperature of the high heat consumption device 6, and feeding back the acquired data to the control module.
[0043] Specifically, the temperature acquisition module includes a first temperature sensor 7, a second temperature sensor and a third temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor 7 is integrally installed at the inlet 11 of the electromagnetic valve 1, and is used for monitoring the temperature of the cooling liquid entering the electromagnetic valve 1 in real time. The second temperature sensor is installed on the constant temperature object 5 to be controlled, and is used for monitoring the temperature of the constant temperature object 5 in real time.

[0047] Embodiment 2
[0048] This embodiment provides a method for constant temperature liquid cooling of an airborne product by using the constant temperature liquid cooling system in embodiment 1, and the steps are as follows:
[0049] Step 1, set the target temperature of the constant temperature object 5 in the control module.
[0050] Step 2, the aircraft control system starts the cooling liquid circulation module, the temperature acquisition module acquires the temperature of the cooling liquid, the temperature of the constant temperature object 5 and the temperature of the high heat consumption device 6 in real time, and feeds back the collected information to the control module. The control module determines whether the constant temperature object 5 needs to be heated or cooled according to the requirement of the target temperature.
[0051] Step 3, the control module sends control signals to the electromagnetic valve 1 and the thermoelectric refrigerator 2 according to the determination result of step 2. The control module controls the stepper motor 15 to act, so that the motor rod 16 extends or retracts to regulate the flow of the cooling liquid out of the first outlet 12. The control module adjusts the voltage and current at both ends of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2 according to the difference between the measured temperature of the constant temperature object 5 and the target temperature. By adjusting the flow of the cooling liquid out of the first outlet 12 and adjusting the input current and voltage of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2, the temperature of the constant temperature object 5 is controlled until the constant temperature object 5 reaches the set target temperature.
[0052] Specifically, when the monitored temperature of the constant temperature object 5 is lower than the target temperature, it needs to be heated, the control module controls the stepper motor 15 to reduce the opening degree of the first outlet 12, reduces the flow of the cooling liquid out of the first outlet 12, i.e. reduces the heat dissipation capacity of the first liquid cooling plate 3 to the hot end of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2. Then, according to the difference between the target temperature, the voltage and current at both ends of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2 are adjusted, the refrigeration capacity of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2 is reduced, and the constant temperature object 5 is heated.
[0053] When the monitoring temperature of the constant temperature object 5 is higher than the target temperature, the refrigeration needs to be increased, the control module controls the stepper motor 15 to increase the opening degree of the first outlet 12, increases the flow of the cooling liquid flowing out of the first outlet 12, and accelerates the heat dissipation of the first liquid cooling plate 3 to the hot end of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2. Then, the voltage and current at both ends of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2 are adjusted according to the distance from the target temperature, the refrigeration capacity of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2 is improved, and the constant temperature object 5 is cooled. The adjustment of the input current and voltage of the thermoelectric refrigerator 2 is adjusted according to the cooling amplitude.
[0054] Step 4, the cooling liquid flowing out of the second outlet 13 of the electromagnetic valve flows through the second liquid cooling plate 4 to cool the high heat dissipation device 6. It should be noted that only the cooling liquid flowing into the first liquid cooling plate 3 through the first outlet 12 needs to be controlled, and the cooling liquid flowing into the second liquid cooling plate 4 through the second outlet 13 is sufficient to meet the heat dissipation needs of the high heat dissipation device 6.
[0055] The application reasonably utilizes the liquid cooling resources of the aircraft, proposes a controllable liquid cooling flow distribution system, and realizes the constant temperature control of the internal constant temperature object 5 of the airborne photoelectric product and the liquid cooling heat dissipation of the high heat dissipation device 6 according to the temperature change of the cooling liquid supplied on the aircraft, so as to ensure the normal work of the airborne photoelectric product.
[0056] Although the embodiments of the application have been shown and described above, it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limiting the application, and those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, replacements and modifications to the above-mentioned embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the application within the scope of the application.
