Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vacuum testing technology, and more specifically, to a vacuum testing apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of spacecraft research and development and testing, thermal vacuum testing is a crucial environmental simulation test used to verify the performance and reliability of spacecraft and their components under high vacuum and extreme temperature conditions. Currently, most thermal vacuum test chambers are designed based on the principle of a single vacuum chamber and an integrated temperature control system. This architecture can provide a certain temperature environment and vacuum level to meet basic testing requirements.
[0003] Existing thermal vacuum testing methods, in order to achieve rapid temperature changes of spacecraft components under large temperature differences, necessitate a strategy of first maintaining a low temperature within a single vacuum chamber, then breaking the vacuum and physically transferring the product to another independent high-temperature environment for heating. Afterwards, a high vacuum condition must be re-established to complete the entire test cycle. This series of operations inevitably disrupts the continuity of the vacuum environment, contradicting the natural environment where spacecraft operate under a constant high vacuum, thus affecting the realism and accuracy of the test.

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0039] In the field of spacecraft research and development and testing, thermal vacuum testing is a crucial environmental simulation test used to verify the performance and reliability of spacecraft and their components under high vacuum and extreme temperature conditions. Currently, most thermal vacuum test chambers are designed based on the principle of a single vacuum chamber and an integrated temperature control system. This architecture can provide a certain temperature environment and vacuum level to meet basic testing requirements.
[0040] Existing thermal vacuum testing methods, in order to achieve rapid temperature changes of spacecraft components under large temperature differences, necessitate a strategy of first maintaining a low temperature within a single vacuum chamber, then breaking the vacuum and physically transferring the product to another independent high-temperature environment for heating. Afterwards, a high vacuum condition must be re-established to complete the entire test cycle. This series of operations inevitably disrupts the continuity of the vacuum environment, contradicting the natural environment where spacecraft operate under a constant high vacuum, thus affecting the realism and accuracy of the test.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the main objective of this application is to provide a vacuum testing device to address the above-mentioned problems. This vacuum testing device is used to test a product 3 under test. The vacuum testing device includes a test housing and a movable structure 2 disposed within the test housing 1. The product 3 under test is detachably disposed on the movable structure 2. The movable structure 2 can move relative to the test housing 1 within the test housing 1 along the length direction of the test housing 1, thereby driving the product 3 under test to move along the length direction of the test housing 1. The test housing 1 has three zones, namely a cold zone, a transition zone, and a hot zone. A cold plate structure 4 and a hot plate structure 5 are disposed within the test housing 1. The cold plate structure 4 is disposed on one side of the test housing 1 to form a cold zone for cooling the product 3 under test. The hot plate structure 5 is disposed on the other side of the test housing 1 to form a hot zone for heating the product 3 under test.
[0042] The cold plate structure 4 includes a first heat sink 42 surrounding the inner wall of the test housing 1. A first cold plate 41 is positioned inside the first heat sink 42 at a location relatively far from the moving structure 2. The first cold plate 41 has a first bearing surface for supporting the product under test 3. A first protective element is also provided on the first bearing surface. The first protective element is made of thermally conductive silicone or graphite with a high thermal conductivity, and its thickness is 5mm. The first protective element enhances the heat transfer efficiency of the first cold plate 41 to the product under test 3 and also acts as a shock absorber when placing the product under test 3, preventing damage. The test measures the damage caused by direct contact between product 3 and the first cold plate 41. The first cold plate 41 has a first coolant flow channel, and the first heat sink 42 has a second coolant flow channel. The vacuum test apparatus also includes a cooling medium containment assembly and a controller. The cooling medium containment assembly includes a first containment chamber containing a refrigeration component. The refrigeration component stores the cooling medium and is used to cool the cooling medium. The outlet of the first containment chamber is connected to a first pipe, and a first pump is installed on the first pipe to introduce the cooling medium from the refrigeration component into the first pipe. The first pipe is also equipped with a heating element for selectively heating the cooling medium. The outlet end of the first pipe is connected to both a first coolant flow channel and a second coolant flow channel, for conveying the cooling medium into the first cold plate 41 and the first heat sink 42 to form a cold zone, thereby cooling the product 3 to be tested. The surface temperature range of the first cold plate 41 is between -80.0℃ and +150.0℃, and the temperature uniformity of the first cold plate 41 is less than or equal to 2.0℃. The inner surface of the first heat sink 42 is coated with a first black coating. The coating is used to simulate the background of outer space. The surface temperature of the first heat sink 42 is between -80.0℃ and +150.0℃, and the temperature uniformity is less than or equal to 2.0℃. The first pipe is sealed to the test shell 1 to ensure that the vacuum in the test shell 1 will not leak. When the temperature of the cooling medium is high, it needs to be cooled by the cooling component. When the temperature of the cooling medium is low, it needs to be heated by the heating component to keep the temperature of the cooling medium entering the first cold plate 41 within the range of -80.0℃ to +150.0℃.
[0043] Optionally, a temperature detection component is provided on the first cold plate 41 to detect the cold plate temperature of the first cold plate 41. The temperature detection component is connected to a controller, which is also connected to a refrigeration component and a heating component to control whether to use the refrigeration component to lower the temperature of the cooling medium or to use the heating component to raise the temperature of the cooling medium based on the temperature of the first cold plate 41.
[0044] When the temperature of the first cold plate 41 is greater than +150.0℃, the refrigeration components need to be activated to lower the temperature of the cooling medium. When the temperature of the first cold plate 41 is less than -80.0℃, the heating components need to be activated to heat the cooling medium so that the temperature of the cooling medium is between -80.0℃ and +150.0℃.
[0045] The hot plate structure 5 includes a second heat sink 52 surrounding the inner wall of the test housing 1. A second cold plate 51 is positioned inside the second heat sink 52, relatively away from the moving structure 2. The second cold plate 51 has a first bearing surface for supporting the product under test 3. A second protective component is also provided on the first bearing surface. The second protective component is made of thermally conductive silicone or graphite with a high thermal conductivity, and its thickness is 5mm. The second protective component enhances the heat transfer efficiency of the second cold plate 51 to the product under test 3 and also acts as a shock absorber when placing the product under test 3, preventing damage. The test measures the damage caused by direct contact between product 3 and the first cold plate 41. The second cold plate 51 has a third coolant flow channel, and the second heat sink 52 has a fourth coolant flow channel. The vacuum test apparatus also includes a heat-conducting medium containment assembly and a controller. The heat-conducting medium containment assembly includes a second containment chamber, within which a cooling component stores the heat-conducting medium and is used to cool it. The outlet of the second containment chamber is connected to a second pipe, on which a second pump is installed to introduce the heat-conducting medium from the cooling component into the second pipe. The second pipe is also equipped with a heating element for selectively heating the heat transfer medium. The outlet of the second pipe is connected to the third and fourth coolant channels, respectively, to deliver cooling medium into the second cold plate 51 and the second heat sink 52. This forms a cold zone through the second cold plate 51 and the second heat sink 52, thereby cooling the product 3 to be tested. The surface temperature range of the second cold plate 51 is between -80.0℃ and +150.0℃, and the temperature uniformity of the second cold plate 51 is less than or equal to 2.0℃. The inner surface of the second heat sink 52 is coated with a second black coating. The coating is used to simulate the background of outer space. The surface temperature of the second heat sink 52 is between -80.0℃ and +150.0℃, and the temperature uniformity is less than or equal to 2.0℃. The second pipe is sealed to the test shell 1 to ensure that the vacuum in the test shell 1 will not leak. When the temperature of the cooling medium is high, the heat transfer medium needs to be cooled by the refrigeration component. When the temperature of the cooling medium is low, the heat transfer medium needs to be heated by the heating component to keep the temperature of the cooling medium entering the second cold plate 51 within the range of -80.0℃ to +150.0℃.
[0046] Optionally, a temperature detection component is provided on the second cold plate 51 to detect the cold plate temperature of the second cold plate 51. The temperature detection component is connected to a controller, which is also connected to a refrigeration component and a heating component to control whether to use the refrigeration component to lower the temperature of the heat transfer medium or to use the heating component to raise the temperature of the heat transfer medium based on the temperature of the second cold plate 51.
[0047] When the temperature of the second cold plate 51 is greater than +150.0℃, the refrigeration components need to be activated to lower the temperature of the heat transfer medium. When the temperature of the second cold plate 51 is less than -80.0℃, the heating components need to be activated to increase the temperature of the heat transfer medium.
[0048] Among them, the first heat sink 42 and the second heat sink 52 are used to radiate heat up or radiate cool down the product 3 to be tested. Since the heat transfer by thermal radiation is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the radiation source, no physical insulation is set in the transition zone. The transition zone mainly utilizes the short-distance attenuation characteristics of thermal radiation to weaken the heat transfer between the cold and hot zones and avoid thermal crosstalk.
[0049] The movable structure 2 includes a support member 21 disposed within the test housing 1, the extension direction of the support member 21 being consistent with the extension direction of the test housing 1. A movable component 22 is movably disposed on the support member 21. The support member 21 has meshing teeth 211. The movable component 22 includes a gear structure 223 meshing with the meshing teeth 211. The gear structure 223 is disposed on the movable body 221. A driving element 224 is also disposed on the movable body 221. The driving end of the driving element 224 is connected to the gear structure 223 to drive the gear structure 223 to rotate, thereby enabling the gear structure 223 to move on the support member 21. The device is designed for movement. A connecting component 222 is provided on the moving body 221. The connecting component 222 can be extended or shortened. A suspension component 225 is provided at the free end of the connecting component 222. The suspension component 225 has a suspension part. A drive motor is also provided on the moving body 221. The drive end of the drive motor is connected to one end of the connecting component 222. When the drive motor rotates forward or reverse, the connecting component 222 extends relative to the moving body 221. When the drive motor rotates in reverse or forward, the connecting component 222 shortens. This allows the device to place the product under test 3 in a cold or hot zone, or to move the product under test 3 away from the cold or hot zone.
[0050] Optionally, the driving element is a drive motor.
[0051] Optionally, the connecting component 222 is a rope, and the material of the connecting component 222 is a polytetrafluoroethylene braided rope with a temperature resistance range of -200℃ to +260℃. The extension and retraction of the connecting component 222 is 0.3 meters to 1 meter.
[0052] Optionally, the suspension unit may be made of 304 stainless steel.
[0053] The movable structure 2 also includes two limiting members, which are respectively located near the two ends of the support member 21 to limit the movement distance of the gear structure 223.
[0054] Optionally, the limiting component can be any one of a limiting shaft, a limiting post, or a limiting pin.
[0055] Optionally, laser displacement sensors are provided at the four corners of the product under test 3. The distance between the product under test 3 and the first cold plate 41 and the second cold plate 51 can be controlled by the laser displacement sensors.
[0056] Optionally, the heat transfer medium or cooling medium is heat transfer oil or cooling oil.
[0057] Furthermore, the vacuum testing device also includes a temperature detection component installed on the cold plate structure 4 to detect the cold plate temperature of the cold plate structure 4. Temperature detection is also installed on the product under test 3 and the hot plate structure 5 to detect the real-time temperature of the product under test 3 and the hot plate temperature of the hot plate structure 5, respectively.
[0058] The specific test procedure is as follows: The product under test 3 is fixed to the suspension component 225 via the suspension part, which is made of 304 stainless steel resistant to high and low temperatures, to ensure the stability of the product under test 3 during movement. The connecting component 222 (PTFE braided rope) is kept in the retracted state to prevent the product under test 3 from directly contacting the first cold plate 41 or the second cold plate 51 in its initial position. The test housing 1 is closed, and the high-vacuum pumping system is activated to evacuate the vacuum level inside the test housing 1 to ≤5×10⁻⁶. - 4 Pa ensures that the test environment meets the high vacuum conditions required for spacecraft in orbit.
[0059] The controller starts the drive motor, and through the cooperation of the gear structure 223 and the meshing teeth 211, the moving body 221 is precisely moved along the extension direction of the support component 21, positioning the product under test 3 on the first cold plate 41 in the cold zone. The laser displacement sensor monitors the distance between the product under test 3 and the first cold plate 41 to ensure that the product under test 3 is smoothly lowered to the set position and to avoid damage caused by direct contact.
[0060] The refrigeration components inside the first housing are activated, and the cooling medium is delivered to the first coolant channel through the first pump to cool the first cold plate 41. The second coolant channel of the first heat sink 42 also receives the cooling medium processed by the refrigeration components to ensure uniform temperature distribution.
[0061] The controller commands the drive motor to retract the connecting component 222, lifting the product under test 3 away from the first cold plate 41 while maintaining a safe distance of 10cm. Under the action of the gear structure 223 and the drive element 224, the moving body 221 quickly moves to the hot zone. The laser displacement sensor controls the product under test 3 to accurately descend onto the bearing surface of the second cold plate 51. In the hot zone, the heating component inside the second housing box is activated, and the heat transfer medium is delivered to the third coolant channel through the second pump body to heat the second cold plate 51. The fourth coolant channel of the second heat sink 52 also receives the heat transfer medium processed by the heating component to ensure uniform temperature in the hot zone.
[0062] The product under test 3 was subjected to a cyclic test between cold and hot zones. Each cycle included the holding time in the cold and hot zones, as well as the transition time between the two temperature ranges. During each cycle, the product under test 3 rapidly switched between the cold and hot zones via the moving structure 2, maintaining a temperature ≤6.65×10 throughout. -3 A high vacuum of Pa is achieved without the need to break the vacuum.
[0063] Through an independent hot and cold zone temperature control system, rapid temperature change of the product under test 3 between -80.0℃ and +150.0℃ was achieved, with a change time of no more than 3 minutes. This meets the requirements of GJB 1027A-2005 standard for rapid temperature change with large temperature difference. The transfer of the product under test 3 between the hot and cold zones does not require breaking the vacuum and maintains a high vacuum throughout the process, which more realistically simulates the on-orbit operating environment of spacecraft and improves the realism of the test and the accuracy of the data.
[0064] The linkage between the controller and the temperature detection component, drive motor, heating component, and cooling component enables the automation and intelligence of the testing process, reducing the time and errors of manual intervention, and improving testing efficiency and safety. The setting of the first and second protective components, as well as the cooperation between the laser displacement sensor and the suspension component, ensures the protection and positioning accuracy of the product during movement, avoiding damage caused by hard contact with the hot and cold plates.
