Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of satellite power supply and distribution, in particular to a micro-satellite power distribution thermal control management system, product and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The satellite power supply and distribution system is an important subsystem for transforming, regulating and distributing power on the satellite, and is the safety bottom line for the satellite in-orbit operation. As a key technology of the satellite platform, any spacecraft must be equipped with a suitable and reliable power supply and distribution system. Unlike traditional satellites, micro-satellites have higher requirements for volume, weight, cost, efficiency, functional density, etc. under the premise of ensuring system function, performance and reliability. As a key technology of the satellite platform, the performance, weight and price of the power supply and distribution system have a significant impact on the overall design of the satellite.

[0003] Foreign small satellite power distribution systems basically adopt the design idea of standardization and modularization, integrating satellite power supply and distribution and thermal control functions. The low-power power supply control and distribution management unit developed by Thales Alenia Space mainly includes shunt regulation modules, discharge regulation modules, power distribution modules, thermal control modules, etc. All modules are electrically connected through a backplane.

[0004] Domestic small satellite integrated design started relatively late. Beijing Zero Gravity Space Technology Co., Ltd. currently has four mature small satellite platforms, including ZG3U, ZG6U, ZG30 and ZG100 satellite platforms. Each platform integrates a power supply and distribution control module, which is composed of a power distribution module and a voltage and current monitoring module. The power distribution voltage is divided into 5V and 12V, with a maximum single power distribution power of 60W, supporting battery pack management, power distribution control and voltage and current detection functions. Units such as 811 Institute and 18 Institute have carried out related research work on the integration of small satellite power distribution and thermal control systems, but the products designed by each unit lack unified standard support, have poor universality, weak scalability and long development cycle. Therefore, the development of a standardized and integrated power distribution and thermal control management system has great practical significance and practical value.

[0005] In the prior art, "Satellite Power Distribution and Thermal Control Unit Design Based on TMS570" is disclosed in Electronic Technology Application, Vol. 49, No. 12, 2023. A satellite power distribution and thermal control management unit is designed with a microcontroller TMS570 as the core. The system modules are integrated using an internal bus architecture, and data interaction with the central machine is realized through a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus, achieving functions such as on-board single-machine power distribution on-off control, whole-satellite temperature acquisition, heating band open-loop and closed-loop control, power state monitoring, SADA (Solar Array Drive Assembly) drive, software in-orbit reconstruction, etc. However, this technical solution has the following technical problems: 1. The single unit has limited power distribution capacity and weak load-carrying capacity. The number of power distribution and thermal control channels is limited, which can only be used for the needs of a single satellite project. The scalability is not high. The rated power of each power distribution channel is fixed, while the power distribution strategies of different satellite models are different. This technical solution cannot dynamically adjust the power distribution ratio of each channel, which may lead to insufficient power supply to key equipment and cannot be used for different power load requirements. 2. The fault isolation measures for power distribution circuits are mostly passive protection by fuse blowing. After the fuse blows, it cannot be reused, the fault cannot be recovered, and key information such as power distribution current cannot be collected. 3. The temperature acquisition method is singular, with each thermistor occupying one set of cables. For systems with a large number of temperature acquisition channels, the corresponding temperature acquisition cables are cumbersome and complex, which is not conducive to assembly and implementation.

[0006] In summary, existing satellite power supply and distribution systems lack unified standard support, have poor versatility and scalability, long development cycles, and limited temperature acquisition methods. Furthermore, the fault isolation measures for power distribution circuits are mostly passive protection through fuse blowing, which cannot collect key information such as power distribution current.

[0038] Implementation Method 3. This implementation method provides a microsatellite power distribution thermal control management method. The method is based on the microsatellite power distribution thermal control management system described in Implementation Method 1 and the computer program product described in Implementation Method 2, and includes the following steps: Step 1: After the microsatellite power distribution and thermal control management system is powered on, it executes the boot program, specifically as follows: Start the computer program product used to run the microsatellite power distribution and thermal control management system. If the program is verified to be correct, initialize the software environment. In this embodiment, the program verification being correct means that the program data CRC check passes; Step 2: After the software environment initialization is completed, the heating belt drive subsystem, fuse control subsystem, power distribution drive subsystem and SADA drive subsystem execute the instruction signals of the corresponding CPU subsystem, output the corresponding analog quantity acquisition information, use the analog quantity acquisition subsystem to periodically acquire analog quantity acquisition information, and feed the analog quantity acquisition information back to the host computer through the CPU subsystem. Step 3: After receiving the analog signal acquisition information, the host computer uses the temperature and thermal control status output by the analog signal acquisition subsystem as feedback, performs active thermal control of the satellite using the trend temperature control method, performs SADA monitoring and control using the SADA drive subsystem, and performs power supply circuit protection and circuit protection based on the power distribution status.

[0039] The trend-based temperature control method in step 3 is specifically as follows: Set the temperature control threshold for each temperature control loop, and set the control parameters for each temperature control loop. The control parameters include the selection of the temperature control loop and the upper and lower limits of the control temperature. Adjust the heating power according to the temperature ratio to control the controlled temperature at (Tmax+Tmin) / 2, where Tmax is the maximum temperature and Tmin is the minimum temperature, so as to maintain a relative balance between the input power and dissipation power of the controlled component per unit time.

[0040] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a software flowchart of a microsatellite power distribution and thermal control management system designed in this embodiment. After the system is powered on, the boot program is executed first, and a version is selected from the three-mode redundant backup program to start. If the program is verified to be correct, it jumps to the version to run and initializes the software environment, and completes the initialization of registers and global variables.

[0041] After initialization, the CPU subsystem reads the MAX706 reset status through the IO pin, and then enters the main loop after the reset is completed. In the main loop, the functions such as power distribution drive, SADA drive, and fuse unlocking are completed by processing CAN bus commands, and the related parameters are returned to the central machine.

[0042] Periodic analog quantity acquisition information acquisition is performed, and the analog quantity acquisition information includes external analog quantity, temperature quantity, power telemetry quantity, heating state, and power distribution state. The acquisition period of the analog quantity acquisition information is 125 ms, a data smoothing filter algorithm is used to reduce external interference and improve acquisition accuracy. The smoothing filter algorithm is mean filtering, the data window length is 10, and for the same type of sampling data, the average value of a group of 10 sampling data is taken as the filter output of the group data.

[0043] To ensure temperature control accuracy, a trend temperature control method is provided in the embodiment. The software sets the temperature control threshold value of each temperature control loop, i.e. the maximum temperature Tmax and the minimum temperature Tmin. The heating power is adjusted according to the temperature ratio to control the temperature near (Tmax+Tmin) / 2, so as to keep the input power and dissipation power of the controlled component relatively balanced within a unit time. The control parameters of each temperature control loop can be set by software, including temperature control loop selection, control temperature upper and lower limits, etc. The specific method is as follows: the temperature control period is 4 s, and the heating time can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 s. If the temperature is less than the middle value of the temperature control threshold and does not rise, the heating time is increased by 1 s (not increased when equal to 4), otherwise the heating time is maintained unchanged; if the temperature is greater than or equal to the middle value of the temperature control threshold and does not decrease, the heating time is decreased by 1 s (not decreased when equal to 0), otherwise the heating time is maintained unchanged.

[0044] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 the temperature control data after using the trend temperature control algorithm are shown in Figure 6 the temperature of the satellite +X side camera truss rod, the temperature control threshold is 20.5℃-21.5℃, Figure 7 the temperature of the camera secondary mirror, the temperature control threshold is 19.5℃-20.5℃, the telemetry temperature is within the temperature control range, and the temperature control effect is obviously better than the index requirement. By using the trend temperature control algorithm, the temperature accuracy and stability are improved, and the temperature control stability is improved by 60%.
