Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy and thermal management technology for space electronic equipment, specifically relating to a thermoelectric coupling power harvesting and thermal management system across cold and hot radiation surfaces. Background Technology
[0002] Spacecraft in space must cope with extreme temperature differences. Their thermal management combines active and passive technologies to achieve a thermal balance, preventing overheating on the sunlit side and overcooling on the shaded side, ensuring stable equipment operation. Current on-orbit thermal management methods for spacecraft include: 1. Traditional heat pipes + radiators, using a phase change in the working fluid to passively conduct heat from the sunlit side to the shaded side for radiative dissipation. 2. A single thermoelectric generator, converting temperature differences into electrical energy. 3. Single-phase / two-phase circuits driven by mechanical pumps. However, existing heat exchange systems for space electronic equipment have the following drawbacks:
[0003] 1. No active charge transport mechanism across hot and cold surfaces: Heat transfer efficiency is limited by the thermal conductivity of the working fluid, making it difficult to achieve rapid thermal equilibrium on a spacecraft scale.
[0004] 2. Thermoelectric conversion-electron emission-condensation collection link is broken: Traditional thermoelectric elements cannot directly use electrical energy for electron emission and condensation enhancement, resulting in significant energy loss during secondary conversion.
[0005] 3. Lack of adaptive variable geometry: It cannot automatically adjust the heat conduction path and condensation area when there are sudden temperature changes.
[0006] 4. Liquid orientation control methods in the absence of microgravity: Condensate is prone to floating and accumulating, leading to deterioration of heat exchange.
[0007] Therefore, a device or method is needed that can actively conduct heat dissipation with minimal energy loss and strong adaptability to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The related technologies of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] like Figures 1-7As shown, the workflow of this specific embodiment is as follows: The thermoelectric conversion and electron emission component 1 absorbs solar heat and partially converts it into electrical energy; the gradient conductive emission integrated slide rail metal plate 103 simultaneously realizes the functions of a conductive sheet and an emission electrode. The gradient conductive emission integrated slide rail metal plate 103 has good conductivity and certain mechanical strength, as well as a low work function so that electrons can more easily escape from the surface. In terms of structure, the slide rail must be able to withstand high current density and high voltage while ensuring that electrons can be emitted effectively. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the selection of materials and structural design. The material can be a metal material with low work function and good conductivity, such as tungsten, molybdenum, etc., which can emit electrons and move under the control of the external electric field formed by the gradient conductive emission integrated slide rail metal plate 103 and the gradient phase change coupled microchannel electron slide rail collection plate 5 and the external magnetic field formed by the S pole 301 and the N pole 302. The electron busbar 501 is made of a highly conductive metallic material such as stainless steel or copper alloy, the phase change buffer layer 502 is made of a solid-liquid phase change heat storage material, and the microchannel topology convection heat transfer layer 503 is covered with a layer of highly efficient heat-absorbing material, such as a metal-ceramic composite membrane. Furthermore, the gas-liquid phase change material in the superhydrophilic evaporation biomimetic capillary core assembly 2, located between the P-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 101 and the N-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 102 of the thermoelectric conversion and electron emission assembly 1, evaporates from liquid to gas upon heating. The gas-liquid phase change material can be made of... Coated perfluoropentane microemulsion, The working fluid includes nanosheets / ammonia water composites and nanoparticles containing titanium dioxide with electromagnetic properties, which can be controlled by electric and magnetic fields. A plant-like stomatal biomimetic capillary structure 202 promotes better vapor generation (biomimetic is its characteristic), and a leaf-vein-like biomimetic fractal microchannel 204 enhances heat transfer. Gas flows through the plant-like stomatal biomimetic capillary structure 202 → gas phase fluid transport pipeline 203 → leaf-vein-like biomimetic fractal microchannel 204 → gas transport main pipeline 205, subsequently driving electrons emitted by the gradient conductive emission integrated sliding rail metal plate 103 to move in a circular motion outside the spacecraft cabin under the control of electric and magnetic fields. An electric field force is generated between the metal plate and the collecting plate, and vapor and electrons achieve circular motion around the cabin under the combined action of electric and magnetic forces. The gas and electrons then pass through a phase-change coupled microchannel electron slide rail collecting plate 5, which consists of three layers. An electron confluence layer 501 collects electrons, while a phase-change buffer layer 502 absorbs all the heat released during electron collection and part of the heat released when the gas transforms into liquid. The mixture then passes through a microchannel topological convection heat transfer layer 503 and a gradient cooling wall 504 to continue absorbing heat. The gas-liquid mixture then enters a shape memory alloy coupled rotating condenser impeller 6 to continue releasing heat. Here, the gas is completely converted into liquid, and heat is also transferred to the negative side. Furthermore, the shape memory alloy impeller 603 is made of shape memory alloy. In the cold environment of the negative side, the alloy deforms and contracts at low temperatures. This contraction force compresses the gas, reducing the distance between gas molecules and making it easier to liquefy. When a high-temperature fluid passes through, the alloy returns to its original shape and can continue to contract upon entering a cold environment. In addition, three shape memory alloy coupled rotating condenser impellers 6 are provided to ensure that the gas is completely converted into liquid. The liquid then enters an optical tweezers system consisting of a laser 8, a beam expander 9, a dichroic mirror 10, an objective lens 11, an XYZ three-axis displacement stage 12, a reflector 13, and a CMOS camera 14. This system enables the laser beam to control the movement of tiny liquid particles, thereby transporting the liquid to an adaptive thermally responsive bellows 15. The adaptive thermally responsive bellows 15 and the superhydrophilic conical capillary wick structure 201 further promote the capillary process of the liquid, allowing it to be better drawn into the superhydrophilic evaporation biomimetic capillary wick assembly 2, completing one cycle.
[0036] In addition, the electrical energy of the shape memory alloy coupled rotating condenser impeller 6 and the optical tweezers system can be supplied by the storage battery 4, whose energy comes from the electrical energy converted by the P-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 101 and the N-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 102.
[0037] In addition, stress-resistance coupled shape memory alloy 104 and structure-conductive coupled carbon spring 105 are distributed between gradient conductive emission integrated slide rail metal plates 103, and the contraction and stretching of the two realize two working modes of high temperature and low temperature.
[0038] In addition, the spacecraft cabin has a retractable slide rail 19, a gradient conductive emission integrated slide rail metal plate 103 and a gradient phase change coupled microchannel electronic slide rail collection plate 5 that can slide on the retractable slide rail 19. The sliding stop position is controlled by the first photosensitive sensor limiter 106 and the second photosensitive sensor limiter 505. The photosensitive sensor on it can track the sun to achieve continuous heat absorption and conversion.
[0039] Thermoelectric-electron emission module: Introduces dual-mode emission using PN-type thermoelectric conversion material and shape memory alloy slide rail. The P-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 101 and the N-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 102 are electrically connected to the electron busbar layer 501 via the slide rail of the gradient conductive emission integrated slide rail metal plate 103. High temperature on the sunny side → electrical energy generated by the P-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 101 and the N-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 102 → elongation / contraction of the shape memory alloy in the gradient conductive emission integrated slide rail metal plate 103 → dynamic adjustment of the surface work function → directional electron emission.
[0040] Evaporation-Electron Co-operation Module: The superhydrophilic capillary generates a directional steam flow, which sequentially passes through the plant stomatal biomimetic capillary structure 202 → gas phase fluid transport pipeline 203 → gas transport main pipeline 205 → and is spatially coupled with the emission area of the thermoelectric conversion and electron emission component 1.
[0041] Magnetically-electrically confined module: S / N magnetic poles + electric field form a closed drift track, with S pole 301 and N pole 302 located outside the spacecraft shell 17; electron-vapor moves around the outside of the cabin under the action of Lorentz force to avoid dissipation.
[0042] Gradient collection-cooling module: Three-layer gradient phase change collection plate + gradient cooling wall, the connection method in sequence includes: electron busbar 501 → phase change buffer layer 502 → microchannel topology convection heat transfer layer 503 → gradient cooling wall 504 electrically connected to battery 4; electrons are captured by electron busbar 501 → electrical energy is stored in battery 4 → gradient cooling wall 504 condenses steam.
[0043] Shape memory alloy condensation module: Shape memory alloy impeller 603 adaptively expands / contracts, shape memory alloy impeller 603 is fixed to shaft 605, shape memory alloy impeller 603 is connected to the outlet of gradient cooling wall 504; temperature decreases → shape memory alloy impeller 603 contracts → blade gap decreases → condensation efficiency is improved.
[0044] Optical tweezers-capillary transport module: laser optical tweezers + bellows capillary coupling, laser 8 → beam expander system 9 → dichroic mirror 10 → objective lens 11 → XYZ triaxial displacement stage 12 → adaptive thermal response bellows 15; the condensate is directionally pushed into the liquid phase inlet 1501 by the optical tweezers → secondary cooling through the phase change microcapsule layer 1502 → backflow to the superhydrophilic evaporation biomimetic capillary core assembly 2 through the capillary channel of the liquid phase passage 1504.
[0045] The key technical point of this embodiment is:
[0046] 1. PN-Memory Alloy Collaborative Electron Emission Mechanism: The P-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 101 and the N-type carrier-dominated thermoelectric energy conversion unit 102 are integrated with the stress-resistance coupled memory alloy 104 to achieve dynamic adjustment of the work function in two modes (high temperature elongation / low temperature contraction), serving as the core for directional electron emission.
[0047] 2. The three-layer gradient phase change coupled microchannel electronic sliding rail collection plate 5 is an integrated structure consisting of an electron confluence layer 501, a phase change buffer layer 502, a microchannel topology convection heat transfer layer 503, and a gradient cooling wall 504, which completes the triple functions of electron collection, energy storage, and steam condensation.
[0048] 3. Shape memory alloy-optical tweezers closed-loop liquid transport: The shape memory alloy impeller 603 adaptive condenser, together with the laser 8, beam expander system 9, dichroic mirror 10, objective lens 11, and XYZ three-axis displacement stage 12, uses optical tweezers to push and match the adaptive thermal response bellows 15 capillary reflux, realizing zero pumping circulation of condensate under microgravity.
[0049] 4. Magnetism-electric co-containment orbit constraint: S pole 301 and N pole 302 are coupled with the electric field to form a closed drift orbit, preventing the diffusion and loss of electrons and vapor in the vacuum environment.
[0050] In summary, the present invention enables the coordinated transport of charge and heat across hot and cold surfaces, thereby improving the efficiency of the electron-vapor coupling transport path.
[0051] It should be emphasized that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
