Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of attitude control technology, specifically relating to an attitude control power system based on carbon dioxide phase change gas storage. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of attitude control technology, attitude adjustment methods and systems mainly include air-cooled propulsion systems, chemical propulsion systems, electric propulsion systems, and solid propulsion systems.
[0003] While a cold-air propulsion system can adjust the attitude of an aircraft, it has a low specific impulse during operation. In order to ensure the service life of the cold-air propulsion system, it usually needs to have a large gas tank, which requires a high carrying capacity of the aircraft.
[0004] Chemical propulsion systems have a complex structure. Because they rely on the rapid reaction of chemical substances to generate propellant gases, and these reactions typically require the catalytic action of a catalyst, repeated operation of the system necessitates multiple start-ups and shutdowns of the catalyst, leading to catalyst activity degradation. Furthermore, the fuels used in chemical propulsion systems are mostly toxic, requiring additional protection and handling during production, preparation, and use.
[0005] Electric propulsion systems suffer from high power consumption and low thrust, which makes it impossible to achieve rapid maneuvering of the aircraft during flight.
[0006] Solid propulsion systems are not very stable and do not have the ability to be restarted and stopped multiple times, resulting in low gas utilization.
[0007] Therefore, existing technologies struggle to simultaneously ensure rapid response and high specific impulse in attitude adjustment while minimizing the cost of attitude adjustment and improving the ease of system operation. Summary of the Invention

The air outlet is provided on the bottom surface of the circular groove, and a filter unit is provided in the circular groove of the annular baffle.
[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the phase change energy tube further includes an intake valve and a baffle; One end of the air intake valve is located outside the sealing top cover, and the other end of the air intake valve passes through the sealing top cover until it connects to the annular groove; the baffle is an annular baffle with several through holes, and the annular baffle is set at the opening end of the annular groove to reduce the injection impact when the liquid carbon dioxide is filled.
[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the storage distribution mechanism further includes a flow guide tube; The guide pipe is disposed between the outlet of the phase change energy tube and the inlet of the storage tank. The guide pipe is connected to the outlet of each phase change energy tube and to the inlet of the storage tank. It is used to receive gaseous carbon dioxide in the phase change energy tube and then transfer it to the storage tank.
[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the storage tank is provided with a high-pressure safety valve, which is connected to the gas outlet of the storage tank and is used to discharge the gaseous carbon dioxide when the pressure inside the storage tank is too high.

[0018] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the storage tank and the gas supply branch pipe are equipped with gas pressure monitoring sensors, which are used to monitor the pressure of the gaseous carbon dioxide in the storage tank and the gas supply branch pipe, respectively.
[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of the above-described technical solutions conceived by this invention compared with the prior art include: (1) The attitude control propulsion system based on carbon dioxide phase change gas storage of the present invention includes thrusters, phase change energy tubes, storage and diversion mechanisms, and control components. Each phase change energy tube includes a housing and an excitation component. A sealed chamber is provided inside the housing, and the sealed chamber is filled with liquid carbon dioxide. The excitation agent of the excitation component is placed in the sealed chamber to excite the liquid carbon dioxide to convert into gaseous carbon dioxide. The housing is provided with an openable and closable sealed outlet that communicates with the sealed chamber, so as to discharge the gaseous carbon dioxide from the sealed chamber when the liquid carbon dioxide is converted into gaseous carbon dioxide. The storage and diversion mechanism includes a storage tank and a diversion channel. The inlet end of the storage tank is connected to the sealed outlet of each phase change energy tube, so as to receive and store gaseous carbon dioxide. The outlet end of the storage tank is connected to the diversion channel, and the diversion channel is provided with an openable and closable supply branch pipe for each thruster, so as to provide gaseous carbon dioxide to the corresponding thruster when adjusting the attitude of the aircraft. This attitude control propulsion system can minimize the cost of attitude adjustment and improve the ease of system operation while ensuring rapid response and high specific impulse, thereby enabling accurate control of the aircraft's attitude.
[0020] (2) The attitude control power system based on carbon dioxide phase change gas storage of the present invention, by installing a high-pressure one-way valve on the storage tank or the pipeline between the storage tank and the distribution pipe, allows the gaseous carbon dioxide in the storage tank to be discharged in an appropriate amount when the pressure inside the storage tank is too high, thereby ensuring the operational stability of the storage tank. At the same time, by installing a low-pressure safety valve on the connecting distribution pipe, the failure of the solenoid valve on the gas supply branch pipe caused by the pressure of gaseous carbon dioxide in the distribution pipe exceeding the limit is avoided, further improving the safety and stability of the attitude control power system.
[0021] (3) The attitude control power system based on carbon dioxide phase change gas storage of the present invention has a rapid response and stable power. When the gaseous carbon dioxide pressure in the storage tank is low, it replenishes the storage tank with gaseous carbon dioxide in a timely manner by using a phase change energy tube with built-in liquid carbon dioxide, thereby ensuring that the attitude control system can always maintain a sufficient driving gas source. At the same time, by using the activator in the phase change energy tube, the liquid carbon dioxide in the phase change energy tube is rapidly converted into gaseous carbon dioxide, thereby improving the gas source replenishment efficiency of the entire attitude control power system. Combined with the use of liquid carbon dioxide as the storage gas source, the critical conditions for phase change of carbon dioxide are easier to achieve and overcome compared to other gases. This not only reduces the pressure resistance level of the phase change energy tube, but also allows a relatively small amount of activator to provide energy when all liquid carbon dioxide is converted into gaseous carbon dioxide. This improves the safety of the attitude control power system while reducing its operating cost, and has good promotion value and application prospects. Attached Figure Description

Then the flame spreads along the receiving hole to the side wall of the igniter 107 facing the liquid carbon dioxide 106, and then burns rapidly from the middle and one side of the igniter 107, thus quickly generating high heat in a short time, providing sufficient energy for the vaporization of the liquid carbon dioxide 106.

The partition 104 is fixed to the annular baffle by the locking pins passing through the locking holes on the annular wall and the side wall of the annular groove.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this application, the storage diversion mechanism further includes a guide pipe 2. The guide pipe 2 is disposed between the outlet of the phase change energy tube 1 and the inlet of the storage tank 3. The guide pipe 2 is connected to the outlet of each phase change energy tube 1 and to the inlet of the storage tank 3, and is used to transfer the gaseous carbon dioxide in the phase change energy tube 1 to the storage tank 3.
[0043] Further preferably, in a preferred embodiment of this application, a high-pressure safety valve 8 is provided on the storage tank 3. The high-pressure safety valve 8 is connected to the gas outlet of the storage tank 3 and is used to discharge gaseous carbon dioxide when the pressure inside the storage tank 3 is too high. Preferably, the storage tank 3 is made of titanium alloy, has an ellipsoidal end cap, can withstand a maximum pressure of 40 MPa, and has a built-in filter with a filtration accuracy of 10 μm.
[0044] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this application, a diversion pipe 5 is provided between the gas outlet of the storage tank 3 and the diversion channel, and a connecting pipe with a pressure reducing valve 4 is provided between the diversion pipe 5 and the outlet of the storage tank 3 to reduce the pressure of gaseous carbon dioxide flowing from the storage tank 3 into the diversion pipe 5.
[0045] Furthermore, in another preferred embodiment of this application, the high-pressure safety valve 8 may also be installed on the connecting pipe between the outlet end of the storage tank 3 and the inlet end of the diversion pipe 5.
[0046] Further preferably, in the preferred embodiment of this application, a low-pressure safety valve 9 is provided on the diversion pipe 5. The low-pressure safety valve 9 is connected to the chamber inside the diversion pipe 5 to prevent the gas supply branch from failing due to excessive pressure of gaseous carbon dioxide in the diversion pipe 5.
[0047] Furthermore, the high-pressure safety valve 8 opens at a pressure of 35 MPa, and the low-pressure safety valve 9 opens at a pressure of 10 MPa.
[0048] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this application, a pressure monitoring sensor is provided in one or more of the storage tank 3, the diversion pipe 5, and the gas supply branch pipe to monitor the pressure of gaseous carbon dioxide. When the pressure of gaseous carbon dioxide in the storage tank 3 is insufficient, one or more igniters 110 in the phase change energy tube 1 are controlled to operate, thereby replenishing the storage tank 3 with gaseous carbon dioxide.
[0049] More specifically, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the thruster 6 includes a solenoid valve and a nozzle. The nozzle is connected to the air supply branch pipe via the solenoid valve, and the opening and closing of the air supply branch pipe is achieved by opening and closing the solenoid valve. Preferably, the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the control component 7. Preferably, the optimal operating pressure range of the solenoid valve is 0.2~10MPa, and the response time is ≤60ms.
[0050] The attitude control power system based on carbon dioxide phase change gas storage in this invention offers rapid response and stable power. When the gaseous carbon dioxide pressure in the storage tank 3 is low, a phase change energy tube 1 containing built-in liquid carbon dioxide 106 replenishes the storage tank 3 with gaseous carbon dioxide in a timely manner, ensuring that the attitude control system always maintains a sufficient driving gas source. Simultaneously, the activator 107 placed in the phase change energy tube 1 rapidly converts the liquid carbon dioxide 106 into gaseous carbon dioxide, thereby improving the gas supply efficiency of the entire attitude control power system. Furthermore, by using liquid carbon dioxide 106 as the storage gas source, and considering the fact that the critical conditions for carbon dioxide phase change are easier to achieve and overcome compared to other gases, not only can the pressure resistance level of the phase change energy tube 1 be reduced, but a relatively small amount of activator 107 can also provide energy for the conversion of all liquid carbon dioxide 106 into gaseous carbon dioxide. This improves the safety of the attitude control power system while reducing its operating costs, demonstrating significant potential for widespread application.
