Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid level measurement. Specifically, it relates to a liquid level testing device suitable for filling at the firing range, and in particular, to a liquid level testing device for filling a launch vehicle at the firing range, which is suitable for monitoring and controlling the liquid level height during ground filling of a launch vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In many fields, real-time liquid level measurement can accurately reflect the current state information. For example, during the filling and flight of a liquid rocket, the liquid level information of the propellant in the storage tank is a key parameter in the rocket control system, directly participating in the adjustment of the control system and being one of the key factors determining the success or failure of a launch. New-generation launch vehicles widely use non-toxic and pollution-free liquid propellants such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, and kerosene, replacing the highly toxic and dangerous conventional propellants. When filling low-temperature propellants, high-precision liquid level measurement is required. However, the liquid level of the propellant changes rapidly, the temperature varies, and the liquid surface shakes, etc.

[0003] Currently, due to the limited methods for measuring the liquid level of low-temperature propellants in liquid rockets in China, the main means for measuring specific liquid level points of low-temperature fuels in the domestic and international aerospace fields is the annular capacitive liquid level sensor. The annular capacitive liquid level sensor is based on the fact that different media have different dielectric constants. Its sensor sensitive capacitance is a multi-layer annular capacitor composed of an inner ring and an outer ring. When liquid flows into or out of the multi-layer annular capacitor, it causes a change in the dielectric constant, thereby causing a change in capacitance. After being converted into a voltage signal by a liquid level transducer, the voltage signal is output to the backend device.

[0004] However, there are many types of liquid level transducers participating in the filling in the storage tank, and it is necessary to collect and measure them simultaneously, and pack and transmit the output voltage signals to the backend device, so as to clearly obtain the liquid level information in each storage tank remotely during filling. The reliability of the liquid level signals sent by a single capacitive liquid level sensor and its processing circuit is low. If any group of sensors or transducers fails, it will inevitably send out incorrect liquid level signals. If the data of multiple sensors and transducers in the storage tank cannot be processed and compared in time, it may lead to mistakes in propellant filling and affect the rocket launch.

[0005] Therefore, during the ground propellant filling stage of a launch vehicle, it is crucial to use ground filling equipment to collect the liquid level signals in the storage tank, calculate the current liquid level height, and transmit it to the measurement system in real time, which has important significance in the aviation, aerospace and related fields.

[0006] The patent document with the publication number CN109592082A discloses a device for detecting signals of a rocket power filling system. To solve the problems of numerous meter heads in the filling warehouse of the firing range, inability to realize real-time linkage of data between the front and rear ends of the filling system, and weak universality among different models, this patent document provides a general-purpose rocket power filling system signal acquisition device based on RS485, which can centralize the front-end warehouse meter heads in one combination and achieve the purpose of broadcasting and sharing the front and rear end data in real time, and can be assembled in the power filling systems of different models of rockets. However, this patent document still has the defect that the reliability of the liquid level signal sent by using a single capacitive liquid level sensor and its processing circuit is low.
