Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sensing and control, and in particular relates to a test structure and a working method of the thrust of a pipeline-integrated attitude control rocket engine. Background Art

[0002] Space engines are the core power source of all spacecraft. Thrust testing is a key test indicator of space engine performance. Through thrust testing, it can provide a basic basis for the correction of space engine control strategy and the adjustment of assembly accuracy. Liquid attitude control rocket engines undertake tasks such as attitude adjustment, precise positioning, rapid maneuvering, rendezvous and docking, separation and braking. The accuracy of its thrust test will directly affect the flight control accuracy and target hit accuracy, so it is very necessary to conduct thrust testing.

[0003] In the thrust test of the attitude control rocket engine, one end of the propellant supply pipeline is directly connected to the engine, and the other end is fixed to the outside. The thrust generated during ignition causes the attitude control rocket engine to move. At this time, the propellant supply pipeline will constrain the displacement of the attitude control rocket engine, and its constraint will "consume" part of the thrust, resulting in the thrust measured in the laboratory not accurately reflecting the thrust of the attitude control rocket engine in the actual working process. In addition to the steady-state thrust test, the attitude control rocket engine also needs to be tested for dynamic thrust. The pulse ignition frequency of the attitude control rocket engine can reach 50Hz during operation. In order to ensure the accuracy of the lateral thrust, the thrust test device has weak local strength and will break under the action of high-frequency alternating loads, resulting in the inability to measure. At the same time, due to the complex structure of the propellant supply pipeline, the overall stiffness is poor and the stress state is unstable, under the action of high-frequency alternating loads, the thrust of the sensor test will be seriously distorted. The existing thrust test structure is often connected between the moving frame and the fixed frame, and between the moving frame and the propellant supply pipeline through connecting rods and threads. The overall structure has high requirements for assembly accuracy, and the error introduced by the assembly has a great impact on the measurement of small thrust. Therefore, it is necessary to study a new thrust test structure to greatly reduce the constraints of the propellant supply pipeline and improve the overall stiffness, reduce the impact of high-frequency alternating loads and assembly errors on thrust testing, and thus improve the accuracy of rocket engine thrust testing. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a test structure for the thrust of a pipeline-integrated attitude control rocket engine and a working method thereof, which solve the problems of pipeline constraints, easy fracture at weak points, high assembly precision requirements and poor frequency response performance of the thrust test device described in the background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a test structure for the thrust of a pipeline-integrated attitude control rocket engine, including a thrust test frame and a thin film sensor, wherein the thrust test frame includes a propellant supply pipeline, a fixed frame structure and a moving frame structure located inside the fixed frame structure; the fixed frame structure includes a front fixed frame and a rear fixed frame fixedly connected; the moving frame structure includes a front moving frame, a middle moving frame and a rear moving frame fixedly connected in sequence; the two ends of the propellant supply pipeline are respectively fixedly connected to the front fixed frame and the front moving frame, and are connected to the pipeline through holes opened on the front fixed frame and the front moving frame; two sensitive beams are symmetrically distributed between the rear moving frame and the rear fixed frame, and the sensitive beams have two grooves, and thin film sensors are prepared on the top surfaces of the grooves.

[0006] Furthermore, the front moving frame, the middle moving frame and the rear moving frame are all circular ring structures, and the inner diameters and outer diameters of the three increase successively.

[0007] Furthermore, the front moving frame and the middle moving frame are fixedly connected via a plurality of front end oblique connecting beams, and the middle moving frame and the rear moving frame are fixedly connected via a plurality of rear end oblique connecting beams.

[0008] Furthermore, the thrust test frame is processed into an integrated structure by selective laser melting.

[0009] Furthermore, the propellant supply pipeline is an S-shaped pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, the front fixed frame and the rear fixed frame are fixedly connected via a plurality of straight connecting beams, and two thin supporting beams are symmetrically connected between the straight connecting beams and the middle movable frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the sensitive beam is arranged in a vertical direction, and the angle between the sensitive beam and the supporting thin beam is 90°.

[0012] Furthermore, the pipeline through hole opened on the front moving frame is L-shaped, one end of the pipeline through hole is connected to the propellant supply pipeline, and the other end passes through the front end surface of the front moving frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the thin film sensor comprises an insulating layer, a strain wire grid is arranged on the insulating layer, and a protective layer and a metal electrode are arranged on the strain wire grid.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a working method of a pipeline-integrated attitude control rocket engine thrust test structure, comprising: The fuel and oxidizer flow into the propellant supply pipeline through the external pipeline and the pipeline through-hole opened on the front fixed frame, then flow out from the front end surface of the front moving frame, and flow into the engine combustion chamber through another external pipeline; The fuel and oxidant are burned in the engine combustion chamber at different flow ratios; After combustion, the airflow ejected from the tail end of the engine generates reverse thrust, causing the engine and the adapter frame to shift, thereby driving the frame structure to move in the horizontal direction. The relative displacement between the rear moving frame and the rear fixed frame causes the connected sensitive beam to deform. In the four stress concentration areas of the two sensitive beams, the two places close to the rear moving frame are subjected to tensile stress in the vertical direction, while the two places far from the rear moving frame are subjected to compressive stress in the vertical direction. The stresses in different stress concentration areas cause the strain wire grids of the four thin film sensors prepared on the sensitive beams to deform accordingly, and the resistance value of the alloy wire grid in the strain wire grid changes accordingly. The flexible circuit board is pasted on the rear end surface of the sensitive beam, and four thin film sensors are connected in sequence to form a bridge through the circuit in the flexible circuit board. A DC voltage is applied between two relative nodes in the bridge. The tension resistor will form a high potential difference at both ends due to the increase in resistance, while the pressure resistor will form a low potential difference at both ends due to the decrease in resistance, thus forming a differential Wheatstone bridge; a voltmeter is connected between the other two relative nodes in the bridge circuit to record the output voltage; The thrust load generated by the attitude control rocket engine is calculated through the output voltage.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects: The pipeline-integrated attitude control rocket engine thrust test structure provided by the present invention integrates the propellant supply pipeline and the test component into an integrated thrust test frame, simplifies the overall structure, and reduces the impact of assembly errors on the test; at the same time, when the engine ignites and generates displacement, the propellant supply pipeline can be displaced together with the dynamic frame, and the constraint of the propellant supply pipeline on the engine is transferred to the test frame, which greatly reduces the impact of the pipeline constraint on the thrust test. As the overall stiffness of the thrust test structure increases, its frequency response performance is improved, but its deformation will inevitably decrease, resulting in a decrease in sensor sensitivity. Therefore, the frequency response performance of the thrust test structure and its test sensitivity are two contradictory indicators.

[0016] The present invention designs an "S-shaped" structure for the propellant supply pipeline, which appropriately reduces its rigidity compared to the traditional "straight" pipeline, thereby increasing the deformation of the sensitive structure; by designing a three-layer dynamic frame, the propellant supply pipeline, the supporting thin beam and the sensitive beam are arranged in layers, compared with the same-layer arrangement, the deformation of the sensitive structure can be increased while ensuring the rigidity of the overall structure; by designing the three-layer dynamic frame as a truncated cone frame structure, the diameter of the dynamic frame is gradually increased from the front end to the rear end, and the displacement of the dynamic frame is amplified by using the connecting rod principle, while ensuring that the test structure has a high rigidity, the test sensitivity is significantly increased.

[0017] Furthermore, the test sensor is integrated on the surface of the sensitive beam using a thin film preparation process, eliminating the need for external sensors. The overall structure is simple and compact, which not only reduces the loss in the stress transfer process of traditional adhesive strain gauges, but also reduces the weight of the entire test structure, improving the stiffness of the test structure and its ability to resist high-frequency alternating loads.

Two rectangular grooves are processed on each sensitive beam 10 to form a stress concentration area, and a thin film sensor 11 is prepared on the stress concentration area. The flexible circuit board is pasted on the rear end surface of the sensitive beam 10, and the electrodes on it are connected to the metal electrodes 16 of the four thin film sensors 11 by gold wire bonding.

Finally, the circuit in the flexible circuit board connects the four thin film sensors 11 in sequence to form a differential Wheatstone bridge for signal output.

[0038] Example 3 The working process of the test structure of the pipeline integrated attitude control rocket engine thrust described in Example 1 provided in this embodiment is as follows: The external fuel supply end and the oxidant supply end respectively pass the fuel and the oxidant through the external pipeline and the adapter at the side end of the front frame 1, and flow from the front frame 1 into the propellant supply pipeline 8, and then flow out from the front end surface of the front moving frame 5, flow through the adapter and another external pipeline, and finally flow into the engine combustion chamber; The fuel and the oxidant burn in the engine combustion chamber at different flow ratios. After combustion, the airflow ejected from the tail end of the engine generates reverse thrust, causing the engine and the adapter to shift, thereby driving the front moving frame 5, the six front oblique connecting beams 7, the middle moving frame 4, the six rear oblique connecting beams 9 and the rear moving frame 3 to gradually move in the horizontal direction. The relative displacement between the rear moving frame 3 and the rear fixed frame 2 will cause the connected sensitive beam 10 to deform. Among the four stress concentration areas of the two sensitive beams 10, the two places close to the rear moving frame 3 are subjected to tensile stress in the vertical direction, while the two places far from the rear moving frame are subjected to compressive stress in the vertical direction; the stresses in different stress concentration areas will cause the strain wire grids 14 of the four thin film sensors 11 prepared thereon to deform accordingly, and the resistance value of the strain wire grids 14 will change accordingly, wherein the resistance value of the strain wire grids increased, and the resistance value of the strain wire grids decreased. Four thin film sensors 11 are connected in sequence to form a bridge through a flexible circuit board pasted on the rear end surface of the sensitive beam 10 according to the principle of "adjacent arms are opposite and opposite arms are the same". A 5V DC voltage is passed between two relative nodes in the bridge. The tension resistor will form a high potential difference at both ends due to the increase in resistance, while the pressure resistor will form a low potential difference at both ends due to the decrease in resistance, thus forming a differential Wheatstone bridge. A voltmeter is connected between the other two relative nodes in the bridge circuit to record the output voltage. Before the test, a linear correspondence is established between the output voltage and the thrust load through the standard mechanical sensor on the thrust calibration device. In the final test, the thrust load generated by the attitude control rocket engine is obtained by recording the output voltage.
