Nested inclined truncated light-gathering device for lunar in-situ oxygen production
By designing a nested oblique-section concentrator, the compatibility problem between high-temperature pyrolysis of lunar soil and medium-temperature heating by an electrochemical oxygen pump was solved, achieving a compact integrated layout of the high-temperature pyrolysis and medium-temperature heating zones and effective gas collection and separation.

AI Technical Summary
Existing concentrators cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high-temperature pyrolysis of lunar soil and medium-temperature heating by electrochemical oxygen pumps within the same device, and they cannot effectively collect and separate oxygen-containing mixed gases released from lunar soil.
A nested oblique-cut concentrator is designed, which forms a central high-energy flow region and an outer medium-energy flow region by coaxially nesting a central composite parabolic concentrator and an oblique-cut annular composite parabolic concentrator. An electrochemical oxygen pump and a gas diffusion space are set in the device to achieve a coordinated layout of high-temperature pyrolysis and medium-temperature heating.
It achieves a compact, integrated layout of high-temperature pyrolysis and medium-temperature heating zones, meeting the temperature requirements of lunar soil high-temperature pyrolysis and electrochemical oxygen pumps, and effectively collecting and separating oxygen-containing mixed gases.
