Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermal protection, and in particular to a honeycomb coral-shaped sandwich thermal protection structure based on composite materials. Background Art

[0002] With the development of aerospace, military, energy and other fields, the demand for thermal protection technology is increasing. Especially under high temperature and high-speed flight conditions, thermal protection systems are essential to protect the structure of aircraft and maintain the normal operation of equipment. Therefore, the research and development of efficient and lightweight thermal protection technology has become a hot topic in the industry.

[0003] Composite materials are widely used in the field of thermal protection due to their excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. Compared with traditional metal materials, composite materials can provide more effective thermal protection effects, while reducing structural weight and improving the overall performance of aircraft. Although existing thermal protection technology has made certain progress, there are still some limitations. For example, traditional thermal protection materials may have problems such as heavy weight, low thermal protection efficiency, and short service life. In addition, with the increase in flight speed and the complexity of the flight environment, the requirements for thermal protection systems are also getting higher and higher.

[0004] The patent document with application publication number CN118180533A involves this application, which involves a metal honeycomb-double-layer active cooling composite thermal protection structure and a manufacturing method, wherein the manufacturing method of the metal honeycomb-double-layer active cooling composite thermal protection structure includes: using metal materials to respectively make an outer skin, an inner skin, a honeycomb core, a plurality of hot surface cooling channels and a plurality of cold surface cooling channels, and fixing the brazing material; processing a plurality of side-by-side grooves at both ends of the honeycomb core, placing the hot surface cooling channels in the grooves at one end, and placing the cold surface cooling channels in the grooves at the other end; assembling the outer skin and the inner skin with the honeycomb core, placing the assembled specimen in a vacuum brazing furnace for vacuum brazing, and obtaining a metal honeycomb-double-layer active cooling composite thermal protection structure. This application can significantly reduce the weight and volume of the thermal protection structure and improve the selectivity of the thermal protection structure material. However, the processing cost of the metal honeycomb structure is high, the processing process is complicated, and the weight is large.

[0005] The patent document with application publication number CN102840423A discloses a heat-insulating and heat-insulating double-layer honeycomb panel, including two layers of honeycomb panels, wherein the honeycomb panel is composed of a plurality of closed hexagonal honeycomb cavities, a partition is arranged between the two layers of honeycomb panels, and a panel is arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the two layers of honeycomb panels. The characteristics of the present invention are: it has strong heat-insulating and heat-insulating performance, which is achieved through a double-layer honeycomb structure and a double-layer closed hexagonal cavity. Although the single-layer honeycomb structure already has heat-insulating and heat-insulating properties, the double-layer honeycomb structure will further improve the heat-insulating and heat-insulating performance by more than 70%; the double-layer honeycomb panel has two layers of closed hexagonal honeycomb cavities, so the heat conduction efficiency is extremely low, and a heat-insulating bridge is formed between the polymer honeycomb in the middle layer and the panel, so that the heat transfer coefficient K value of the double-layer honeycomb panel material is as low as 0.65W / (m 2 .K), achieving excellent thermal insulation and heat insulation performance; after adopting the double-layer honeycomb structure, the rigidity and strength of the honeycomb panel are greatly improved, which is easy to promote. Compared with the gradient double-layer honeycomb structure, the single double-layer honeycomb structure is relatively single in function and cannot meet the requirements of stability, impact resistance, heat insulation, bearing capacity, etc. at the same time. This limits its applicability in complex application scenarios.

[0006] The patent document with application publication number CN118386612A relates to a multi-layer honeycomb structure polycarbonate hollow board, which relates to the technical field of building materials; it comprises a multi-layer honeycomb board body; the multi-layer honeycomb board body is composed of a multi-layer honeycomb structure layer, an upper board body, and a lower board body, and a multi-layer honeycomb structure layer is arranged between the upper board body and the lower board body; the multi-layer honeycomb structure layer is provided with a plurality of sound insulation and heat insulation holes. The utility model enhances the sound insulation, heat insulation, tensile strength and other effects of the polycarbonate hollow board, and improves the service life of the polycarbonate hollow board, and saves material costs, is safe and environmentally friendly, and has a beautiful appearance. However, the multi-layer honeycomb layer design is not a gradient structure and cannot absorb and disperse impact force more effectively, which affects the impact resistance of the material.
