Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of temperature control technology for inertial instruments used in inertial measurement devices, and particularly relates to a temperature control structure for inertial instruments used in fiber optic gyroscope inertial platforms. Background Technology
[0002] A fiber optic gyroscope inertial platform is an inertial measurement device that uses a fiber optic gyroscope as the angular motion sensing element, primarily used in high-precision inertial navigation systems. The platform mainly consists of a platform assembly (fiber optic gyroscope, accelerometer, etc.), a stabilization loop, a ring frame assembly, a precision shaft system, a base, and vibration dampers. Its working principle involves using the fiber optic gyroscope to sense changes in the angular velocity of the carrier, which is then controlled by the stabilization loop to maintain the platform assembly stable in inertial space, providing a favorable dynamic environment for the inertial instruments (accelerometer and fiber optic gyroscope).
[0003] The inertial platform has a relatively compact structure with numerous internal heat sources, including circuit boards, torque motors, heating elements, and inertial instruments. Furthermore, the frame's corner positions change in real-time with operating conditions, creating a complex thermal environment. The performance of the inertial instruments on the platform is significantly affected by temperature; temperature fluctuations within the platform system can impact the measurement and installation accuracy of the instruments. Different instruments, installed at different locations on the platform, have varying optimal operating temperatures. Strong coupling exists between the temperature control loops of individual instruments, necessitating the development of heat transfer models between the heating elements of different instruments on the platform to improve the temperature control accuracy of the instruments.
[0004] During operation, the external temperature environment of a fiber optic gyroscope inertial platform undergoes significant changes. When the external temperature is high, heat is transferred through the base to the ring frame assembly and then to the platform itself. The fan on the base dissipates heat through convection, altering the internal thermal environment. Generally, the airflow velocity is higher near the fan and almost unaffected further away, resulting in an uneven distribution of the internal airflow field, making it difficult to provide suitable environmental conditions for the temperature control system. The relative angular positions of the ring frames change with the movement of the platform, leading to variations in heat conduction, radiation, and convection between the ring frames. These internal and external environmental factors prevent the platform system from maintaining a constant state of thermal equilibrium. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Where T is the temperature vector at a temperature point, T0 is the temperature vector at each temperature point at room temperature, Δ is the duty cycle vector, and Λ is the temperature field influence factor matrix.

[0050] The internal space formed by the outer upper spherical cover 2 and the outer lower spherical cover 5 is closed, isolating the natural convection of internal and external air.
[0051] The outer surface of the outer spherical cover has a finned heat dissipation structure, and the inner surface is coated with a high thermal conductivity material and a fan 8 is installed for convection cooling. The outer upper spherical cover 2 and the outer lower spherical cover 5 are mounted on the ring frame 6 with screws. The inner upper spherical cover 1 and the inner lower spherical cover 4 have regularly distributed slots, and the outer surface is equipped with a fan 8 for convection cooling. The upper and lower spherical covers are connected by screws. The perforated baffle 7 is installed on the inner side of the fan mounting surface of the inner upper spherical cover 1 with screws. The above thermal structure is optimized using the thermal-fluid-structure interaction finite element method. The temperature control method is as follows: temperature sensors are installed on the inner and outer sides of the platform assembly 3, the inner upper spherical cover 1, the inner lower spherical cover 4, the outer upper spherical cover 2, and the outer lower spherical cover 5. Multi-channel temperature data is collected to establish a multi-level temperature conduction model, and the fan speed 8 and the duty cycle of the heating element of the platform assembly 3 are controlled in real time to achieve the stability of the inertial instrument balance temperature.
[0052] In the double-layer spherical structure, the outer spherical cover and the inner spherical cover are two independent components. The outer spherical cover is a closed structure that isolates the natural convection of the inner and outer air, while the inner spherical cover is an open structure that uses a fan 8 installed on the inner spherical cover 1 to achieve the air circulation field between the inner and outer sides.
[0053] The perforated baffle 7 has circular holes of different diameters distributed radially to prevent the fan from blowing directly onto the platform assembly 3 and causing local temperature changes, thus ensuring uniform airflow in all directions at the fan inlet.
[0054] Temperature sensors are evenly distributed on platform component 3, ring frame 6, and inner and outer spherical covers, which can fully reflect the temperature distribution of each component and air zone, facilitating the establishment of multi-level heat transfer models. The double-layer spherical cover structure divides the interior of the inertial platform into multi-level temperature fields for multi-level temperature control.
[0055] The outer spherical cover has a uniform long arc-shaped fin structure on its outer surface, with consistent fin thickness and radial distribution; both the inner and outer spherical covers have small planar structures distributed on their inner and outer sides, which facilitates the installation of temperature sensors.
[0056] The outer spherical cover structure has uniformly distributed heat dissipation windows, and the window covers and sealing rings are installed on the heat dissipation windows by screws; the inner surface of the outer spherical cover has a flexible material coating with a high thermal conductivity.
[0057] By optimizing the thermal structure design through thermal-fluid-structure interaction finite element simulation and rationally arranging the fan positions to form a circulating flow field, a double-layer spherical structure was obtained. This structure mainly consists of an inner upper spherical cover 1, an outer upper spherical cover 2, a platform assembly 3, an inner lower spherical cover 4, an outer lower spherical cover 5, a ring frame 6, a perforated baffle 7, and a fan 8. The outer surfaces of the outer upper spherical cover 2 and the outer lower spherical cover 5 are finned heat dissipation structures, and the inner surfaces are coated with high thermal conductivity material and equipped with fans 8 for convection heat dissipation. The outer upper spherical cover 2 and the outer lower spherical cover 5 are mounted on the ring frame 6 with screws. The inner upper spherical cover 1 and the inner lower spherical cover 4 have regularly distributed slots, and the outer surfaces are equipped with fans 8 for convection heat dissipation. The inner upper spherical cover 1 and the inner lower spherical cover 4 are connected by screws. The perforated baffle 7 is installed on the inner side of the fan mounting surface of the inner upper spherical cover 1 with screws. By employing the thermal-fluid-structure interaction finite element method to obtain the internal temperature and flow field distribution of the platform, inner spherical cover, and outer spherical cover, the number, location, and flow rate of fans, as well as the structure of structural components, can be optimized to improve heat dissipation efficiency and temperature distribution uniformity.
[0058] The temperature control method based on the above structure is as follows: temperature sensors are installed on the inner and outer sides of the platform assembly 3, the inner upper spherical cover 1, the inner lower spherical cover 4, the outer upper spherical cover 2, and the outer lower spherical cover 5. Multi-level temperature conduction models are established by collecting temperature data through multiple channels, and the speed of fan 8 and the duty cycle of heating element of platform assembly 3 are controlled in real time to achieve the stability of the inertial instrument balance temperature.
[0059] A heat transfer model was established between the instruments and the heating elements of the platform. By cumulatively heating at different stages, with different platforms and heating elements of each instrument, the temperatures at various measuring points after the heating elements stabilized were obtained. Specifically, the platform heating elements were first energized and heated, and the temperatures T of each instrument after equilibrium was measured. gx1 T gy1 T gz1 T a1 Then, the heating element of the platform is kept energized, and the heating elements of the X gyroscope, Y gyroscope, and Z gyroscope are energized and heated in sequence. The temperature T of each instrument after reaching equilibrium is measured. gxi T gyi T gzi T ai Finally, the heating element of the quartz watch is energized and heated, and the temperature T of each instrument after thermal equilibrium is measured. gxi+1 T gyi+1 T gzi+1 T ai+1 By processing the above temperature measurement data, T is calculated sequentially. gxi-T gxi-1 T gyi -T gyi-1 T gzi -T gzi-1 T ai -T ai-1 This allows us to obtain the influence factors of different heating elements on each temperature measuring point. Each instrument's heating element has a primary temperature gradient influence on its corresponding instrument, but it also affects all other instruments. Based on the previously obtained temperature field influence factor matrix, we can obtain the temperature control model for this temperature field configuration according to the temperature vector corresponding to this matrix. Let the temperature vector at each temperature point be T, the temperature vector at each temperature point at room temperature be T0, and the duty cycle vector be Δ.

[0063] If it is necessary to obtain a specific temperature field of each instrument on the platform, that is, the temperature combination of the measuring points, the required heating element duty cycle combination can be obtained through algebraic calculations.
[0064] In the double-layer spherical structure, the outer spherical cover and the inner spherical cover are two independent components. The outer spherical cover is a closed structure that isolates the natural convection of the inner and outer air, while the inner spherical cover is an open structure that uses a fan 8 installed on the inner spherical cover 1 to achieve the air circulation field between the inner and outer sides.
[0065] Specifically, by optimizing the thermal structure design through thermal-fluid-structure interaction finite element simulation and rationally arranging the fan positions to form a circulating flow field, a double-layer spherical cover structure for a fiber optic gyroscope inertial platform was obtained. This structure mainly consists of an inner upper spherical cover 1, an outer upper spherical cover 2, a platform assembly 3, an inner lower spherical cover 4, an outer lower spherical cover 5, a ring frame 6, a perforated baffle 7, and a fan 8. The outer surfaces of the outer upper spherical cover 2 and the outer lower spherical cover 5 are finned heat dissipation structures, and the inner surfaces are coated with high thermal conductivity material and fitted with fans 8 for convection cooling. The outer upper spherical cover 2 and the outer lower spherical cover 5 are mounted on the ring frame 6 with screws. The inner upper spherical cover 1 and the inner lower spherical cover 4 have regularly distributed slots, and the outer surfaces are fitted with fans 8 for convection cooling. The inner upper spherical cover 1 and the inner lower spherical cover 4 are connected by screws. The perforated baffle 7 is mounted to the inner side of the fan mounting surface of the inner upper spherical cover 1 with screws to prevent the fan from blowing directly onto the platform.
[0066] A heat transfer model was established between the instruments and the heating elements of the platform.

[0074] If it is necessary to obtain a specific temperature field of each instrument on the platform, that is, the temperature combination of the measuring points, the required heating element duty cycle combination can be obtained through algebraic calculations.
[0075] The temperature control method based on the above structure is as follows: temperature sensors are installed on the inner and outer sides of the platform assembly 3, the inner upper spherical cover 1, the inner lower spherical cover 4, the outer upper spherical cover 2, and the outer lower spherical cover 5. Multi-level temperature conduction models are established by collecting temperature data through multiple channels, and the speed of fan 8 and the duty cycle of heating element of platform assembly 3 are controlled in real time to achieve the stability of the inertial instrument balance temperature.
[0076] This embodiment employs the finite element method to optimize the acquisition of internal temperature and airflow distribution within the inertial platform, optimizing the double-layer spherical cover structure to form a multi-stage circulating flow field, which is beneficial for enhancing heat dissipation of the inertial platform. By controlling the multi-stage temperature fields between the outer and inner spherical covers, between the inner spherical cover and the platform cover, and among the various instruments on the platform, the impact of external environmental temperature changes on the inertial instruments can be reduced, providing a favorable external environment for instrument-level temperature control.
[0077] This embodiment establishes a heat transfer model for the heating elements of each instrument inside the platform assembly, thereby obtaining the influence of each instrument's heating element on the temperature gradient, which facilitates the establishment of a temperature control model.
[0078] The dome model in this embodiment is not limited to a double-layer structure. It can be adjusted according to the number of rings in the actual fiber optic platform, and has a certain degree of versatility and universality.
