Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spacecraft vacuum thermal testing, and more specifically, to an automatic testing method and system for the thermal response of spacecraft thermal tests. Background Technology

[0002] Spacecraft undergo vacuum thermal testing at each stage of design, performance qualification, and acceptance to assess the consistency and reliability of component performance with design specifications. The testing primarily involves applying a specified external heat flow to the test product to simulate its on-orbit operating environment and monitoring temperature changes. External heat flow simulation methods include heating elements, heating cages, infrared quartz lamps, and heating rods, which are connected to a power supply to form a power output circuit. One or more power output circuits are used to heat the test product. Thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and thermistors are used to measure the temperature of various individual areas of the spacecraft product in real time. Before thermal testing, a thermal response test must be performed to verify the correctness and matching accuracy of the power output circuit and temperature measurement points. This ensures that the external heat flow power is correctly applied to the designated locations during the test, preventing errors in heat flow or overcurrent burnout of heating elements due to design flaws, incorrect welding of heating / temperature measurement cables, or software configuration errors, which could affect the success or failure of the test. Meanwhile, during traditional manual thermal response testing, it is necessary to power up the power output circuit one by one and visually search for the point with the greatest temperature rise from hundreds of temperature measurement points. This not only results in extremely low testing efficiency, but also makes it very easy to make mistakes such as incorrect temperature point judgment, excessive current application, and excessive power-up time, which can affect the progress of the test or even its success or failure.

[0003] In summary, a testing method and system are needed to automate the thermal response testing of spacecraft before thermal testing, while ensuring product safety.

[0004] Patent document CN112213137B discloses a non-contact measurement method for heat flow on the surface of a spacecraft based on vacuum thermal testing, which can accurately measure the heat flow reaching the surface of the spacecraft without contact with the surface of the spacecraft; however, the technical method used in this invention is completely different from that in this patent document.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.

[0023] 2. This invention solves the problems of inefficiency, high risk of misoperation, and easy over-power in traditional thermal response testing modes, which involve manually adjusting each power output circuit. This improves the overall safety of spacecraft thermal testing.

[0024] 3. The testing process of this invention has a high degree of safety. First, it is preliminarily determined that the power output circuit itself is configured without any abnormalities. Then, the matching between the temperature measuring point and the power output circuit is gradually confirmed through a stepped power-on mode, which eliminates problems such as the heating element burning out or the product temperature being abnormal due to excessive current applied to the power output circuit for too long.

[0025] 4. This invention only requires the operator to import the test configuration and the test will start automatically. No other operations are required after the entire test process, and the degree of automation is high. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, an automatic testing system for thermal response of spacecraft thermal tests includes: A power output device used to apply a test current to the power output circuit; Temperature data acquisition device, used to collect temperature data at various temperature measuring points; The testing software is used to perform the following operations: Obtain the preset configuration information and perform resistance value determination test on the current power output circuit; For the power output circuit that passes the resistance test, control the power output device to apply a test current and obtain the temperature of all measuring points from the temperature data acquisition device; Determine if there is a measurement point that meets the response condition. If so, determine if the power output circuit matches the response temperature measurement point, stop the power output, and proceed to test the next power output circuit. If not, increase the test current in steps until a temperature measurement point meets the response condition.

[0032] Example 1 An automatic testing system for thermal response of spacecraft thermal tests is disclosed. The testing system includes a power output device, a temperature data acquisition device, and testing software.

[0033] The power output device is used to apply external heat flow to each heating zone of the test product, and the temperature data acquisition device is used to collect the temperature of characteristic points of the test product. The test software needs to read the configuration file to obtain the matching requirements of the power output device and temperature measurement points in the test, the design resistance value RS of the power output circuit, and the maximum current I that the power output circuit can apply. MAX The expected temperature rise T at the correct measuring point after applying current. S The ratio of the stepped boost current to the maximum applicable current (n), and the longest power-on time (t) for each power output circuit. MAX Information such as; The test method is embedded within the test software.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the test method is performed according to the following procedure: Step 1: The test software reads the configuration file to obtain the matching requirements of each power output device and temperature measuring point in the test, as well as the design resistance value R of the power output circuit. S The power output circuit can apply a maximum current I. MAXThe expected temperature rise T at the correct measuring point after applying current. S The ratio of the stepped boost current to the maximum applicable current (n), and the longest power-on time (t) for each power output circuit. MAX Information such as; Step 2: The test software controls the first power output circuit to apply a resistance test current I. R0 Read the voltage U of the power output device R Current value I R The actual resistance R of the output power circuit can be calculated, and then the actual resistance R is compared with the designed resistance R of the power output circuit. S To determine whether the resistance value reading test has been passed; In step 2, the resistance test current is taken as 0.1A and I. MAX The smaller of *1 / 2, the standard for passing the resistance reading test is 0.9*R. S ≤R≤1.1*R S ; Step 3: If the resistance value reading test fails, it can be determined that the power output circuit configuration is abnormal, and the next power output circuit test is performed; if the resistance value reading test passes, continue to perform the test according to steps 4-7. Step 4: The test software controls the first power output circuit to apply an initial test current I0, periodically acquires the temperature of all measuring points, and calculates the change in real-time temperature ΔT compared to when the initial test current was applied. In step 4, the initial test current I0 is typically set to I. MAX *1 / 2; Step 5: Within each temperature sampling period, find the measurement point with the maximum temperature rise. If the maximum temperature rise ΔT MAX ≥T S Then proceed to step 7 for further judgment. If ΔT MAX ≤T S Then proceed to the next temperature sampling cycle for another assessment; Step 6, when the duration is ΔT MAX ≤T S Furthermore, the energizing time t for a certain test current has exceeded the maximum energizing time t of the power output circuit. MAX Then, the test current I needs to be increased in steps from the initial test current, where the single increase current ΔI = n*I MAX ; Step 7: If the measuring point corresponding to the power output circuit in the test requirements is consistent with the measuring point with the maximum temperature rise, the thermal response test is deemed qualified, and the power output circuit status is set to completed. Then, proceed with the next power output circuit test according to steps 1-7. If the measuring point corresponding to the power output circuit in the test requirements is not completely consistent with the measuring point with the maximum temperature rise, it is necessary to determine whether the temperature rise is caused by the residual heat of the completed power output circuit, which leads to the continued rise of the corresponding measuring point. If the measuring point with the maximum temperature rise does not correspond to the completed power output circuit, the current output power circuit is deemed unqualified. If the measuring point with the maximum temperature rise corresponds to the completed power output circuit, repeat steps 4-7 until it can be determined as qualified or unqualified, and then start the next power output circuit test. Step 8: Before starting the next circuit test, the current output of the current power output circuit should be stopped. Each power output circuit can correspond to one or more temperature measurement points. Accordingly, in step 7 of the test method, the measurement points with the highest temperature rise must be completely consistent with the corresponding measurement points of the test power output circuit in order to be considered as qualified.

[0035] In one embodiment, the test system software should provide a test monitoring interface that fully displays the test process, test parameters, and test results. In one embodiment, the test system software should provide an automatic output stop function when the temperature exceeds the limit to prevent abnormalities such as excessively high product temperature caused by mismatch between the power output circuit and the actual design during the test. In one embodiment, the test system software should have a test record saving function to save the test process and data to a history file or database.

[0036] Example 2 like Figure 1 As shown, the thermal response configuration for the test was completed in advance according to the test requirements, including the correspondence between each power output device and temperature measuring point in the test, and the design resistance value R of the power output circuit. S The power output circuit can apply a maximum current I. MAX The expected temperature rise T at the correct measuring point after applying current. S The ratio of the stepped boost current to the maximum applicable current (n), and the longest power-on time (t) for each power output circuit. MAX Information such as power output devices and temperature measuring points should correspond to those used in actual tests; for example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shows the configuration of the power output circuit and the measurement points, as well as the configuration of the thermal response parameters.

[0037] The specific steps are as follows: Step S1: The test software controls the first power output circuit to apply a resistance test current of 0.1A, reads the power output device voltage of 1.47V and the current value of 0.10A, calculates the actual resistance value of the output power output circuit to be 14.7Ω, compares it with the designed resistance value of 14.1Ω, and finds it to be within the range of [0.9*14.1, 1.1*14.1], and passes the resistance value interpretation test. Step S2: If the measured resistance value exceeds the range of [0.9*14.1, 1.1*14.1], the resistance value interpretation test is not passed, and it can be determined that the power output circuit configuration is abnormal. Then, the next power output circuit test is performed. Step S3: The test software controls the first power output circuit to apply an initial test current of 0.25A (i.e., half of the maximum applicable current: 0.5*1 / 2). Step S4: Timely acquire the temperature of all measuring points and calculate the change in real-time temperature compared to when the initial test current was applied. Assuming that the temperature of measuring point 1 increases by 0.7℃, measuring point 2 increases by 0.6℃, and the changes of the remaining measuring points are between -0.2℃ and 0.2℃, then the two measuring points with the largest temperature increases are both greater than 0.5℃, and it can be determined that there is a response at the measuring points. Step S5: If no measuring point rises more than 0.5℃ within 120s, increase the output current by 0.2 * 0.5 = 0.1A. Step S6: Temperature measurement point 1 rises by 0.7℃ and measurement point 2 rises by 0.6℃. If these two measurement points 1 and 2 correspond to the power output circuit in the test requirements, the thermal response test is deemed qualified. The state of power output circuit 1 is set to completed, the power output of circuit 1 is stopped, and the test of power output circuit 2 begins. If the two measuring points with the largest temperature rise are not measuring point 1 and measuring point 2, and no other circuits were powered before this power-on, it can be directly considered that the correspondence is incorrect and the thermal response is abnormal; if the measuring point with the temperature rise corresponds to the power circuit that has just completed heating, it can be considered that the residual heat of the power output circuit tested in the previous test caused the measuring point to continue to rise in temperature, and the test can be carried out again in the next temperature detection cycle. This invention utilizes resistance testing to first determine the correctness of the power output circuit itself, and then gradually confirms the matching between the temperature measuring point and the power output circuit through a stepped power-on response test. This invention can automatically complete the entire process of spacecraft thermal response testing, and also eliminates problems such as heating element burnout or abnormal product temperature caused by excessive current applied to the power output circuit for too long.

[0038] This invention also provides an automatic testing method for the thermal response of spacecraft thermal tests, comprising: Step S1: Obtain the preset configuration information and perform resistance value determination test on the current power output circuit; Step S2: Apply a test current to the power output circuit that has passed the test, and periodically obtain the temperature of all measuring points; Step S3: Determine if there is a measurement point that meets the response condition. If yes, determine if the power output circuit matches the response temperature measurement point and perform the test on the next power output circuit. If no, return to step S2 and gradually increase the test current until a temperature measurement point meets the response condition.
