Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of gravity acceleration measurement, and more specifically, to an electrostatic lunar surface vector gravimeter. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of human space technology, deep space exploration missions targeting the Moon are gradually entering the surface sampling and survey phase, preparing for the next phase of landing missions. Accurately determining the lunar gravity field is crucial for studying the Moon's internal structure and determining the lunar elevation datum and geoid.
[0003] Existing gravimeters are primarily used on the Earth's surface. They are categorized as absolute and relative. Absolute gravimeters can meet the accuracy requirements for lunar gravity measurements, but they are bulky. Relative gravimeters, such as small spring-loaded MEMS gravimeters, are susceptible to temperature fluctuations, making bias stability difficult to control. They can only measure in a single vertical direction and require a stable horizontal platform. Superconducting gravimeters require extremely low temperatures, which are difficult to achieve on the lunar surface.
[0004] In addition, there are also some accelerometers used in space stations, but their main design direction is high resolution, and their range is low, generally 10 -7 -10 -5 m / s 2 , and the weight measurement requirement on the moon is 2m / s 2 , so it cannot be satisfied.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a gravimeter that can measure gravitational acceleration on the lunar surface. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In response to the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide an electrostatic lunar surface vector gravimeter, which aims to solve the problem that the existing gravimeters cannot meet the measurement accuracy and volume of the lunar surface.
[0007] A first aspect of the present application relates to an electrostatic lunar surface vector gravimeter, comprising:
[0008] An electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem is used to measure the three-axis acceleration data of the sensitive mass through differential capacitance and transmit it to the data fusion processing subsystem;
[0009] The attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem is used to obtain the three-axis acceleration data of the sensitive mass from the data fusion subsystem, adjust the installation plane of the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem to make it approximately horizontal during the measurement of gravity acceleration on the lunar surface, and transmit the attitude data to the data fusion subsystem;
[0010] The data fusion processing subsystem is used to decompose the vertical component of the three-axis acceleration data and vector synthesize it into gravity acceleration; compare and analyze the three-axis acceleration data and attitude data to evaluate the stability of the gravimeter measurement results, and output the gravity acceleration when stable as the final result.
[0011] In some embodiments, the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem includes:
[0012] A sensitive probe module comprising a sensitive mass and a capacitor plate, wherein the sensitive mass is configured to move away from an equilibrium position due to the gravitational acceleration of the lunar surface after release, and the capacitor plate is configured to cause a corresponding change in differential capacitance when the distance between the sensitive mass and the capacitor plate changes;
[0013] A locking and releasing module is used to keep the sensitive mass in a balanced position in the locked state and release the sensitive mass in the released state;
[0014] The servo control module includes a high-voltage control module and a normal-voltage control module. The high-voltage control module is used to detect the electrical signal corresponding to the differential capacitance change of the upper and lower capacitor plates, generate an electrostatic force acting on the sensitive mass, and return it to a vertical equilibrium position. The normal-voltage control module is used to respectively detect the electrical signal corresponding to the differential capacitance change of the left and right capacitor plates and the front and rear capacitor plates, generate an electrostatic force acting on the sensitive mass, and return it to a horizontal equilibrium position.
[0015] It should be noted that this application adds a high-voltage control module to detect the electrical signal corresponding to the change in differential capacitance between the upper and lower capacitor plates, generating an electrostatic force on the sensitive mass to return it to its vertical equilibrium position. Compared to existing technologies, this solves the problem of using electrostatic accelerometers in gravity environments by balancing gravity with electrostatic force.
[0016] In some embodiments, the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem further includes:
[0017] The temperature control module is symmetrically arranged relative to the sensitive mass and is used to detect and control the working environment temperature fluctuation of the sensitive probe module to not exceed 0.1°C.
[0018] It should be noted that if the temperature fluctuation range exceeds 0.1°C, it will cause slight expansion or contraction of the sensitive mass, affecting measurement accuracy. This application uses a temperature control module to control the temperature fluctuation range of the sensitive probe module's working environment to within 0.1°C, reducing the measurement instability of the sensitive mass caused by changes in the lunar environment temperature.
[0019] In some embodiments, the sensitive mass and the capacitor plate frame are both made of glass-ceramic.
[0020] It should be noted that the present application preferably uses glass-ceramic to make the sensitive mass and capacitor plate frame, and its expansion coefficient is 10 -7 / K level, high stability, and reduced sensitivity of sensitive mass deformation to changes in lunar ambient temperature.
[0021] In some embodiments, the sensitive mass surface is gold plated, and the vertical axis is insulated from the horizontal axis.
[0022] It should be noted that the present application prefers the sensitive mass of the above design to achieve the application of bias voltage on its surface and separation of normal pressure and high pressure control to achieve high-pressure suspension.
[0023] In some embodiments, the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem further includes:
[0024] The closed cavity is used to enclose the remaining part of the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem to prevent dust from falling on the sensitive mass surface; the closed cavity is non-vacuum.
[0025] It should be noted that there is no need to provide a vacuum cavity for the sensitive probe module, which can further reduce the volume and weight of the gravimeter.
[0026] In some embodiments, the data fusion processing subsystem evaluates the stability of the gravimeter measurement results by:
[0027] According to the triaxial acceleration data, calculate the two inclination angles between the sensitive mass and the horizontal plane;
[0028] Extracting two inclination angles between the installation plane of the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem and the horizontal plane from the attitude data;
[0029] An F test is performed on the two groups of corresponding inclination angle data of the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem and the attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem. If the P values of both groups of tests are greater than 0.05, the gravimeter measurement results are judged to be stable; otherwise, they are judged to be unstable.
[0030] It should be noted that this application preferably uses the above-mentioned indicators and means to judge stability. Compared with the traditional gravimeter that evaluates stability through the Allan variance of long-term measurement data, it solves the stability evaluation of gravity measurement results with small sample data and realizes rapid evaluation of weight measurement results.
[0031] In some embodiments, the area of the selected single capacitor plate is greater than 150 mm 2 The distance between the capacitor plate and the sensitive mass is less than 30μm, the weight of the sensitive mass is less than 25g, and the bias voltage and feedback voltage of the sensitive mass are within 100V, making the relative measurement accuracy of the electrostatic lunar surface vector gravimeter at the level of ten microgal and the range of 2m / s 2 .
[0032] In some embodiments, the volume of each component in the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem does not exceed 10 cubic centimeters, and the total volume of the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem does not exceed 10 cubic centimeters.
[0033] In general, the above technical solutions conceived by this application have the following beneficial effects compared with the existing technologies:
[0034] Compared to the existing technology that requires the gravimeter to be equipped with a completely independent stable platform, this application proposes an electrostatic lunar surface vector gravimeter, which is first made approximately horizontal through the attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem, and then obtains three-axis acceleration data through the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem, thereby realizing the gravity value vector output under tilt measurement conditions, and has strong environmental adaptability. In addition, the attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem directly reuses the three-axis acceleration data of the sensitive mass for attitude adjustment, which not only discards the gyroscope and accelerometer in the attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem, but also realizes the lightweight, miniaturization and low power consumption of the lunar surface gravity vector measurement device; it also avoids the differences in acceleration data from different sources and improves the accuracy of the measurement results. The measurement device designed in this application has a relative measurement accuracy of up to ten microgammas and a miniaturized size. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The high-voltage control module generates a strong electrostatic force (generated by a suspension voltage of approximately 200V) to balance the gravitational acceleration of the lunar surface. It includes a capacitive displacement sensor, a control unit, and a high-voltage feedback actuator. The constant-voltage control module generates a weak electrostatic force (generated by a 0-90V voltage) for capacitor plate servo control. It also includes a capacitive displacement sensor, a control unit, and a constant-voltage feedback actuator.
[0067] Attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem 2 is used to adjust the attitude of the cavity and provide high precision level (10 -7 m / s 2 / Hz 1 / 2 )Measure attitude and low vibration (noise less than 10 -7 m / s 2 / Hz 1 / 2 ) Measurement environment, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a frame and mounting module 21 and a sensing and driving module 22.
[0068] The frame and mounting module 21 is used to provide a system mounting frame and contact the lunar surface to provide a low-vibration measurement environment. It includes: a pitch-axis frame 21-1, a roll-axis frame 21-2, a stable platform bracket 21-3, and a vibration isolation base 21-4.

[0072] A data fusion processor 32 is used to fuse and analyze the three-axis acceleration data with the attitude adjustment and control platform attitude information, and output the gravity measurement value;
[0073] A data storage module 33 is used to store gravity measurement data to meet long-term measurement needs;
[0074] The display and operation panel 34 is used to provide visual information and convenient operations.
[0075] The electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem 1 transmits the measured three-axis acceleration data of the sensitive mass to the digital-to-analog conversion module 31. The attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem 2 transmits the attitude data to the data fusion processing subsystem 3 and obtains the three-axis acceleration data of the sensitive mass from the data fusion processing subsystem 3.
[0076] The power supply module 4 is used to meet the power requirements of various systems of the gravimeter.

[0078] When the electrostatic lunar surface vector gravimeter proposed in this application is placed on the lunar surface for gravity measurement, the working process is as follows: the attitude adjustment and control platform subsystem performs attitude adjustment, and when the two tilt sensor readings in the display and operation panel are near 0, the sensitive mass is released, causing it to displace relative to the capacitor plate and leave the equilibrium position. The capacitance balance between the capacitor plate and the sensitive mass is destroyed at this time, and the capacitance displacement sensing unit tests the offset, and obtains the carrier signal containing the movement of the sensitive mass in different directions through the pre-amplification and AC amplification and signal combination therein, and then multiplies and demodulates it with the excitation signal, and performs low-pass filtering to obtain the low-frequency motion signal of the capacitor plate relative to the sensitive mass movement direction. Subsequently, the feedback control signal V is obtained through the feedback execution unit. fed , using the feedback execution unit to V fed applied to the corresponding capacitor plates, pulling the sensitive mass back to its equilibrium position.
[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, in this closed-loop operating mode, the sensitive mass is always maintained in its equilibrium position. Due to errors in the attitude control and tilt sensor angles of the control platform, the gravitational acceleration on the lunar surface can be derived from the three-axis acceleration data vector of the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem. Furthermore, the inclination data is calculated from the three-axis acceleration data of the electrostatic acceleration sensor subsystem and fused with the inclination sensor data (formula shown below) to evaluate the stability of the gravimeter measurement data.
