Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aircraft electronic mission pod environmental control subsystem, and particularly relates to a device for realizing the system cooling function by the mission pod alone, with liquid cooling as the main cooling method for the mission pod, but the aircraft cannot provide a liquid cooling circuit. BACKGROUND
[0002] The mission pod is a kind of equipment hung on the outside of an aircraft, and is usually installed on a fighter aircraft to greatly improve the tactical capability of the carrier aircraft. For the mission pod carrying electronic equipment, high or low temperature is not conducive to the normal work of the equipment, and high temperature can even cause the equipment to fail. Therefore, the installation position in the pod is limited, and the in-flight environmental control system cannot directly provide low-temperature air or low-temperature coolant for the mission pod. Therefore, an independent environmental control system needs to be provided for the electronic mission pod. At present, the domestic and foreign research and development of mission pod environmental control systems mainly include two categories of reverse pressure boosting air circulation systems and evaporation circulation systems.
[0003] The reverse pressure boosting air circulation system: the ram air is first cooled by a turbine expansion, the low-temperature air flows through the electronic equipment to absorb heat, the heat-absorbed air is sucked by a compressor, and is discharged out of the mission pod after being boosted in pressure. Due to the suction effect of the compressor, the turbine exhaust pressure is less than the ambient static pressure, so that the effect of increasing the turbine expansion ratio is achieved. The coolant for cooling the electronic equipment is the air cooled by the turbine. The refrigeration capacity of the turbine increases with the increase of the flight Mach number. The core component is the turbine, and the key design is the design and arrangement of the mission pod ram air inlet and the inlet duct. The air flow and pressure directly affect the turbine efficiency.
[0004] The evaporation refrigeration circulation system: the refrigerant is compressed by a compressor, and then evaporated in an evaporator to cool the liquid (coolant), and then the cooled coolant is used to absorb the heat load of the electronic equipment in the electronic mission pod. The condenser uses ram air as a cold source. The coolant for cooling the electronic equipment is the coolant cooled by the evaporator. SUMMARY

[0051] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, it should not be construed that the scope of the subject matter of the present invention is limited to the following embodiments. All modifications, substitutions and alterations made based on ordinary technical knowledge and common practices in the art without departing from the above-described technical concept of the present invention are included within the scope of the present invention.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention presents a pod-based air-liquid conversion device, comprising an expansion-type liquid storage tank 1, a micro liquid pump 2, a pump distribution pipe assembly 3, an air-liquid heat exchanger 4, a distribution filter pipe assembly 5, a liquid filter 6, a filter outlet pipe assembly 7, a liquid outlet of the air-liquid conversion system 8, a temperature sensor 9, a pressure sensor 10, a liquid inlet of the air-liquid conversion system 11, a liquid injection port of the air-liquid conversion system 12, a data acquisition and upper computer communication box for the air-liquid conversion system 13, a ram air interface hose 14, clamps 15, and pod structural components 16. The architecture of this device is the focus of this invention.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the pod-based air-hydraulic conversion device is designed based on the maximum system layout space provided by the pod: pod outer diameter φA, inner diameter φB, axial dimension L. While ensuring requirements for interfaces, performance, strength, and weight, the pod space needs to be fully utilized. Based on the above approach, the functional performance allocation and design of the pod-based air-hydraulic conversion device are carried out. Figure 2 The function and principle of the pod-based air-liquid conversion device were demonstrated.
[0054] 1. First, complete the performance calculation of the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 in the pod air-liquid conversion device. Compare shell-and-tube, plate-fin, and tube-fin structures, and select the plate-fin structure as the preferred option. Complete the performance calculation of the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 under the following conditions:
[0055] Cold edge import condition: flight Mach number is 0.5-0.8; flight height is 5000-8000m. Flight height determines air density, temperature, flight Mach number and the area of nacelle ram air bleed port 1601 windward surface directly affect the cold edge import flow. In addition to the three points, the comprehensive resistance of the heat exchanger cold edge ram inlet and exhaust duct is also a key factor affecting the bleed air flow, which needs to be iteratively calculated.
[0056] Hot edge import condition: the coolant is 65# cooling liquid; the system refrigeration capacity is required to be > 3.6kw; the hot edge flow is 3L / min;
[0057] The hot edge outlet temperature is required to be ≤60℃;
[0058] Through the heat exchanger calculation software, the basic volume of the heat exchanger core is approximately 130mmX90mmX100mm, and the cold and hot edge fin specifications are determined, and the weight of 1.2kg can meet the demand of refrigeration capacity > 3.6kW.
[0059] Combined Figure 1 With the installation space provided by the center nacelle, the basic structure design of the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 is completed, and the specific structure is shown in Figure 3 .
[0060] 2. After the basic structure of the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 is locked, the basic installation form of the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 in the nacelle is established, and then the remaining space is used to design the expansion type liquid tank 1. The following points need to be paid attention to in the design of the expansion type liquid tank 1:
[0061] The expansion type liquid tank 1 is mainly used as a reserve container for providing coolant for the system. Considering various attitudes of the nacelle in the flight envelope, it is ensured that the air-liquid conversion system can always provide cooling liquid for electronic equipment and is not affected by flight attitude.
[0062] In addition to being used as a coolant reserve container, the expansion type liquid tank 1 also needs to integrate as many system schematics as possible Figure 2 Such as liquid supply / return (temperature sensor, pressure sensor) mounting seat, liquid supply / return / charging interface mounting seat, micro liquid pump 2 and filter (liquid filter 6) installation, etc.
[0063] In addition to ensuring the above requirements, it is also necessary to reserve as much liquid capacity as possible in the limited space. Through calculation, the effective liquid capacity of the expansion type liquid tank 1 is 0.85L. Within this capacity range, the liquid filling amount of the expansion type liquid tank 1 needs to have a display function. Finally, the invention adopts a pull rope type capacity display mechanism to meet this demand. The structure of the expansion type liquid tank 1 is shown in Figure 4 .
[0064] 3. According to the requirements of the air-liquid conversion device, the micro liquid pump 2 selects a 24V DC motor driven liquid gear pump, which meets the liquid supply flow: 3L / min, pump pressure rise 1Mpa. Power consumption 100w. And the volume and weight of the micro liquid pump 2 are as small as possible. The micro liquid pump 2 is mainly composed of a DC brushless drive motor and a gear pump body, as shown in Figure 5 .
[0065] 4. The low-temperature refrigerant cooled by the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 needs to be filtered before being provided to the gondola electronic system for cooling, to ensure that the fluid provided to the electronic system for cooling is clean. According to the system flow, working pressure, medium type, system interface, etc., a special liquid filter 6 is designed. The following points need to be noted when designing the liquid filter 6:
[0066] The preliminary requirements of the liquid filter 6 are: filtration accuracy: 10μm, flow: 3L / min, working pressure ≤1Mpa, filtration flow resistance less than 150kpa, and the functions of bypass valve, maintenance shut-off valve and pressure difference signaler need to be integrated in the liquid filter 6. See Figure 6 for details.
[0067] 5. The above-mentioned expansion type liquid tank 1, micro liquid pump 2, air-liquid heat exchanger 4 and liquid filter 6 are connected by pipelines and screws, and the seal between the accessories is achieved by end face sealing with O-rings. The air-liquid heat exchanger 4 and the expansion type liquid tank 1 are designed with a mounting plate to ensure that the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 is firmly installed on the expansion type liquid tank 1. See Figure 7 , 8 , 9 and 10 for details.
[0068] 6. In the gondola air-liquid conversion device, temperature and pressure sensors are arranged for supplying and returning liquid, and a differential pressure sensor is arranged on the filter (liquid filter 6). These sensors are mature products. For the collection of these data signals and the communication of the upper computer, a data collection and upper computer communication box (i.e. air-liquid conversion system data collection and upper computer communication box 13) needs to be designed. See Figure 11 for details. The box has the following functions:
[0069] It has 2-way temperature and 2-way pressure measurement and calculation functions;
[0070] It has 1-way differential pressure signal detection function;
[0071] It has 1-way isolated CAN interface circuit to realize communication with the upper system;
[0072] It has a power-on self-test function;
[0073] It is designed according to the selection of sensors, the communication protocol of the upper computer, the power supply requirements, the electrical interface, etc.
[0074] 7. In this pod-mounted air-liquid conversion device, the supply / return / injection ports are equipped with mature fluid connectors selected based on system medium, flow rate, pressure, flow resistance, and other specifications to solve problems such as quick disassembly and assembly. See details... Figure 12 .
[0075] like Figure 1 The diagram shows the installation constraints imposed on this system by the aircraft electronic pod. This system needs to be implemented and designed within the range where φA is the maximum outer diameter of the pod, φB is the maximum inner diameter of the pod, and L is the maximum axial installation dimension.
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown: Based on the technical requirements of the pod for the air-liquid conversion device, the composition and working principle of the device are defined, the components and accessories of the air-liquid conversion device are sorted out, and the functions, performance and other indicators of the air-liquid conversion device are broken down into the components and accessories.
[0077] like Figure 3 As shown: After analyzing, selecting, and calculating the functions and performance indicators of the air-liquid conversion device down to the heat exchanger, an aluminum alloy plate-fin heat exchanger structure was adopted. Combined with the pod installation interface, the structural design of this heat exchanger was carried out, and the final result was obtained. Figure 3 The air-liquid heat exchanger 4 includes a ram air inlet / outlet shroud 4001, an air-side sealing gasket 4002, a liquid-side inlet / outlet shroud 4003, a heat exchanger core assembly 4004, and a heat exchanger air-side flange 4005. The cold-side inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger core assembly 4004 are connected to the priming port 1601 and exhaust port 1602 respectively via the ram air inlet / outlet shroud 4001. The hot-side inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger core assembly 4004 are connected to the micro liquid pump 2 and liquid filter 6 respectively via the liquid-side inlet / outlet shroud 4003. The ram air inlet / outlet shroud 4001 is made of carbon fiber composite material and is connected to the heat exchanger air-side flange 4005 with screws, with the air-side sealing gasket 4002 sandwiched in between. This isolates the air entering the heat exchanger cavity from the pod, preventing moisture-laden air from entering the pod and affecting the operation of other electronic components.
[0078] like Figure 4As shown: after the structure of the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 is basically locked, the remaining space of the pod is used for the structural design of the expansion type liquid storage tank 1. The expansion type liquid storage tank 1 includes an expansion tank shell 1001 with a liquid level gauge, one end of the expansion tank shell 1001 is provided with an expansion tank end cover 1002, the outer surface of the expansion tank end cover 1002 is provided with a pull rope mounting seat 1003, the outer side of the pull rope mounting seat 1003 is provided with a dust cover 1004, a pull rope pulley 1005 is arranged between the pull rope mounting seat 1003 and the dust cover 1004, the inner cavity of the expansion tank shell 1001 is provided with an expansion spring 1007 and an expansion piston 1008, one end of the expansion spring 1007 is in close contact with the expansion piston 1008, and the other end is in close contact with the expansion tank end cover 1002, one end of the liquid level pull rope 1006 is connected to the expansion piston 1008, and the other end extends to the liquid level gauge through the pull rope pulley 1005 and is connected to the liquid level gauge display plug 1010, and the liquid level gauge is designed with a liquid level gauge compression spring 1009 matched with the liquid level gauge display plug 1010. In order to ensure that the pod can supply liquid in various attitudes within the flight envelope, the available liquid must be immersed in the pump suction port to ensure that the micro liquid pump 2 can always suck liquid in the working state, so the expansion piston 1008 and the expansion spring 1007 are used to press the liquid in the tank into the pump suction port, through the maximum structural design, the inner diameter of the expansion type liquid storage tank 1 is φ85mm, the axial sliding distance of the expansion piston 1008 is 150.5mm, and finally the effective liquid volume of the expansion type liquid storage tank 1 is 0.85L. According to Figure 2 the system block diagram, the installation structure of the device such as the liquid supply / return port, the liquid filter 6, the micro liquid pump 2 and the air-liquid heat exchanger 4 is integrated on the expansion type liquid storage tank 1.
[0079] As shown in Figure 5 , the micro liquid pump 2 mainly includes a direct current brushless motor 2001 and a gear pump head 2002, according to Figure 2 the functional block diagram decomposition index requirement, a mature pump product is selected to meet the device liquid supply pressure, flow and power consumption index requirements.
[0080] As shown in Figure 6As shown, before the cooled refrigerant is used by the pod electronic system, it needs to be filtered to ensure that the refrigerant does not contaminate other accessories in the electronic system. Therefore, a liquid filter 6 is designed. The liquid filter 6 includes a liquid filter seat 6002, which has a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. A liquid filter differential pressure signal 6001 is installed at one end of the liquid filter seat 6002, and a liquid filter housing 6003 is installed at the other end. A liquid filter element assembly 6006 is installed in the inner cavity of the liquid filter housing 6003. One end of the liquid filter element assembly 6006 is a liquid filter bypass valve 6005. A liquid filter maintenance valve 6007 and a liquid filter maintenance valve spring 6008 are provided inside the liquid filter seat 6002 and between the liquid outlet and the liquid filter element assembly 6006. The liquid filter element assembly 6006 is a key component of the liquid filter 6, employing a stainless steel wire mesh corrugated filter structure. After this component is installed in the liquid filter 6, it presses down the liquid filter maintenance valve 6007, connecting the liquid outlet to the interior of the liquid filter 6. The inlet liquid flows from the inside to the outside through the liquid filter element assembly 6006. Figure 6 The liquid is filtered (in the direction of the middle arrow), and contaminants remain inside the filter element of the liquid filter element assembly 6006. The filtered clean liquid flows out of the liquid filter 6 through the liquid filter maintenance valve 6007. When the capacity of the filter element reaches a certain level, the pressure difference before and after the liquid filter element assembly 6006 will increase. When the pressure difference signal of the liquid filter differential signal device 6001 reaches the alarm threshold, an alarm signal is output to remind the user to maintain the liquid filter element assembly 6006. After disassembling the liquid filter element assembly 6006, the liquid filter maintenance valve 6007 slides axially under the elastic force of the liquid filter maintenance valve spring 6008, blocking the liquid outlet and preventing liquid from flowing out of the air-liquid conversion device pipeline and contaminating the pod environment.
[0081] like Figures 7 to 10 The diagram shows the system piping and mounting supports connecting the various accessories of this invention. The flange structures in the pump distribution pipe assembly 3, the filter distribution pipe assembly 5, and the filter outlet pipe assembly 7 are designed to be as standardized as possible to avoid component variations and reduce the types of sealing rings. Figure 7 In the middle, the pump distribution pipe assembly 3 includes a pump connection flange 3001, a pump distribution pipe 3002, and a distribution connection flange 3003. Figure 8 In the middle, the diffuser assembly 5 includes diffuser connection flange 3003, diffuser pipe 5001 and filter connection flange 5002. Figure 9 In the middle, the filter outlet pipe assembly 7 includes a filter connection flange 5002 and a filter outlet pipe 7001.
[0082] like Figure 11It is the basic function block diagram of data acquisition and host computer communication box (air-liquid conversion system data acquisition and host computer communication box 13), which is composed of pressure sensor 10, temperature sensor 9, liquid filter pressure difference signaler 6001, control box and software solidified in the control box.
[0083] The power supply circuit is used for converting input +12VDC into +5VDC power supply voltage for supplying components such as the single-chip microcomputer box CAN transceiver, and the rectifier diode IN4001 is used in the power supply circuit design to realize reverse connection protection design; in the EMI design aspect, the LC filter circuit composed of inductance and capacitance can effectively filter out the interference on the power line and reduce the electromagnetic interference generated in the conduction mode.
[0084] The pressure sensor adopts an output type pressure sensor 10, and the voltage signal (0.5-4.5V) is converted into a digital signal by an A / D converter on the single-chip microcomputer in the box, and the pressure value is calculated by the single-chip microcomputer;
[0085] The temperature sensor adopts a PT1000 platinum resistance temperature sensor 9, and the resistance signal of the external PT1000 temperature sensor is processed into a voltage signal by the platinum resistance conditioning circuit in the box, and the digital signal is converted by the A / D converter on the single-chip microcomputer, and the temperature value is calculated by the single-chip microcomputer;
