Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of calibration test of spacecraft infrared optical remote sensors, in particular to a helium wide temperature range temperature regulating device for infrared calibration black body sources. Background Art

[0002] The spacecraft infrared optical remote sensing payload needs to be calibrated on the ground to ensure the effectiveness of the data observation quality.

[0003] According to current practice, a blackbody calibration source is used to provide a radiation reference for infrared optical remote sensing payloads. The blackbody calibration source is controlled in different temperature ranges to simulate the different infrared radiation intensities required for calibration of spacecraft infrared optical payloads.

[0004] The existing invention patent with publication number CN114705305A discloses a high-altitude and high-temperature infrared calibration design system, including a smart terminal and a calibration source; the smart terminal includes a first wireless communication module and an instruction input module; the calibration source includes a second wireless communication module and a second processor, and the second processor is used to output an operation mode to an actuator after receiving an operation instruction, and output a termination mode to the actuator after receiving a termination instruction; the actuator includes a thermal insulation core, a radiation surface, a thermal insulation cover, and a telescopic part, so that the radiation surface is not blocked by the thermal insulation cover when in operation, and is covered by the thermal insulation cover when not in operation to avoid temperature loss.

[0005] As the performance of spacecraft infrared optical payloads continues to improve, the range of observation continues to expand. The conventional method of liquid nitrogen refrigeration combined with electric heating has been difficult to adapt to lower temperature ranges. When the lower limit of the temperature required for the test is lower than the liquid nitrogen temperature zone, a lower temperature mechanical refrigerator must be used. Due to problems with the material system, the material used in the cold head of the cryogenic refrigerator is difficult to withstand temperatures above 323K (50°C) for a long time. Therefore, the existing installation method will shorten the maintenance cycle and the operating cost is extremely high.

[0006] Since the cold head is in direct contact with the surface of the calibration source, the cold energy is concentrated on the contact surface and then diffused by heat conduction, which significantly increases the temperature unevenness on the surface of the calibration source. In order to avoid this problem, a large number of cold heads are often required, or the metal material of the calibration source is thickened, which increases the cost and increases the thermal capacity of the calibration source, resulting in a decrease in the temperature control performance.

[0007] If a turbine expander is used, although the temperature of helium can be reduced, the turbine expander has a high speed, a large and complex system, and a high cost. In addition, the equipment operates slowly and has extremely poor maintainability.

[0008] Therefore, a new method is needed to transmit the cooling capacity of the calibration source. Utility Model Content

The calibration source body 14 is installed in the vacuum container 19 of the spacecraft thermal test vacuum equipment.

[0062] The regenerator 3 is used to recover the cold or heat of the helium that is about to enter the compressor 1, so as to prevent the operating temperature of the compressor 1 from exceeding the allowable range and save cold or heat; the outlet end of the compressor 1 is connected to the regenerator 3, and the regenerator 3 is connected to the diversion device; at the same time, the inlet end of the compressor 1 is connected to the regenerator 3, and the regenerator 3 is also connected to the calibration source body 14.

[0063] The buffer container 2 is used to buffer the pressure change in the system; the buffer container 2 and the helium filling port 18 are connected between the outlet end of the compressor 1 and the regenerator 3.

[0064] The flow diversion device includes: a low-temperature gas heat exchanger inlet valve 4 and a low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8; the low-temperature gas heat exchanger inlet valve 4 is connected to the regenerator 3 and the low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8 respectively; the other end of the low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8 is connected to the gas heater 13.

[0065] The low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8 is also connected to a low-temperature refrigerator cold head 6 and a low-temperature refrigerator body 7; under low-temperature working conditions, the low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8 is cooled by the low-temperature refrigerator cold head 6, and the low-temperature refrigerator cold head 6 is driven to work by the low-temperature refrigerator body 7; the low-temperature refrigerator body 7 realizes temperature control of the low-temperature refrigerator cold head 6 by frequency conversion.

[0066] The cryogenic gas heat exchanger 8 is also provided with a cryogenic gas heat exchanger liquid nitrogen tank 9, a cryogenic gas heat exchanger liquid supply valve 10 and a cryogenic gas heat exchanger liquid nitrogen exhaust port 11; the cryogenic gas heat exchanger liquid nitrogen tank 9 provides liquid nitrogen to the cryogenic gas heat exchanger 8, and after the cryogenic gas heat exchanger liquid supply valve 10 is opened, the liquid nitrogen enters the cryogenic gas heat exchanger 8, and the excess liquid nitrogen or nitrogen gas is discharged through the cryogenic gas heat exchanger liquid nitrogen exhaust port 11.

[0067] A one-way valve 12 is provided between the low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8 and the gas heater 13; the helium gas coming out of the low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8 passes through the one-way valve 12 and enters the gas heater 13 for heating.

[0068] The flow dividing device further comprises: a low temperature gas heat exchanger bypass valve 5 is arranged between the regenerator 3 and the gas heater 13;

[0069] Under high temperature conditions, the low temperature gas heat exchanger inlet valve 4 is closed and the low temperature gas heat exchanger bypass valve 5 is opened to allow the high temperature gas to bypass the low temperature gas heat exchanger 8; under low temperature conditions, the low temperature gas heat exchanger bypass valve 5 is in a closed state.

[0070] The calibration source body 14 also includes: a calibration source liquid nitrogen auxiliary cooling liquid nitrogen tank 15, a calibration source liquid nitrogen supply valve 16 and a calibration source liquid nitrogen discharge port 17; in the early stage of cooling, the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen tank 15 is cooled by the calibration source liquid nitrogen auxiliary cooling, the calibration source liquid nitrogen supply valve 16 is opened, the liquid nitrogen enters the calibration source body 14, and the excess liquid nitrogen or nitrogen gas is discharged through the calibration source liquid nitrogen discharge port 17.

[0071] The utility model uses helium as a medium to transmit the cold energy of a refrigerator (the lowest temperature is lower than 20K) with a lower temperature than the liquid nitrogen temperature zone (73K) to a calibration source, so that the calibration source can work in a temperature range below 50K.

[0072] With helium as the medium, at high temperatures, a bypass is set up to allow the high-temperature gas to bypass the cold head of the cryogenic refrigerator, thereby avoiding the traditional practice of using the refrigerator cold head directly in contact with the surface of the surface source. This is because the material used cannot exceed 323K for a long time, which causes the surface source to be inadaptable to the high temperature. This allows the calibration source to have a higher operating temperature and a longer maintenance cycle interval.

[0073] Using helium as the medium to transmit low temperature can avoid the traditional method of directly installing the cold head of the refrigeration system such as GM refrigerator on the surface of the calibration source, which limits the installation position of the calibration source, such as the installation posture that must be close to the vacuum equipment shell. In this system solution, since helium enters and exits the calibration source through pipelines, the calibration source can be installed in any position and posture in the vacuum test equipment.

[0074] Using helium as the medium to transmit low temperature can avoid the uneven temperature of the calibration source caused by the traditional method of directly installing the cold head of the refrigeration system such as the GM refrigerator on the surface of the calibration source. Combined with the optimized design of the helium channel inside the calibration source, the number of refrigerator cold heads can be reduced on the basis of improving the uniformity of the calibration source.

[0075] The cold energy is transmitted by helium, and the helium is cooled by liquid nitrogen and lower temperature refrigerators, which can make the calibration source have more flexible control mode and larger cooling capacity in the temperature range of 50K to 293K.

[0076] The calibration source has two pipeline systems, helium and liquid nitrogen, which can provide more functional options. Liquid nitrogen is used for auxiliary cooling in the early stage of cooling to increase the heating and cooling rate. It can also replace helium in some test occasions.

[0077] Next, the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0078] A helium wide temperature range temperature regulating device for infrared calibration blackbody source drives the helium working medium to circulate in the system through a compressor 1. When the system temperature changes, the internal pressure changes, and the pressure change is buffered by a buffer container 2 to provide system safety.

[0079] The regenerator 3 can recover the cold or heat of the helium gas that is about to enter the compressor 1, so as to prevent the operating temperature of the compressor 1 from exceeding the allowable range and save cold or heat.

[0080] The helium gas from the compressor 1 through the regenerator 3 enters the cryogenic gas heat exchanger 8 after passing through the cryogenic gas heat exchanger inlet valve 4. At this time, the cryogenic gas heat exchanger bypass valve 5 is in a closed state.

[0081] The low-temperature gas heat exchanger 8 can be cooled by a low-temperature refrigerator cold head 6, which is driven by a low-temperature refrigerator body 7 to achieve low-temperature acquisition with a minimum temperature of less than 20 K. The low-temperature refrigerator body 7 can achieve temperature control of the cold head 6 by frequency conversion and other methods.

[0082] The cryogenic gas heat exchanger 8 can also be supplied with liquid nitrogen through a liquid nitrogen tank 9 . After the cryogenic gas heat exchanger liquid supply valve 10 is opened, liquid nitrogen enters the cryogenic gas heat exchanger 8 , and excess liquid nitrogen or nitrogen gas is discharged through an exhaust port 11 .

[0083] The helium gas coming out of the cryogenic gas heat exchanger passes through the one-way valve 12 and enters the gas heater 13 for heating, and the temperature can be precisely regulated.

[0084] Under high temperature conditions, the low temperature gas heat exchanger inlet valve 4 is closed, and the low temperature gas heat exchanger bypass valve 5 is opened, so that the high temperature gas bypasses the low temperature gas heat exchanger 8, avoiding the thermal impact on the cold head 6 of the low temperature refrigerator. After the temperature and pressure of the gas in the low temperature gas heat exchanger 8 increase, the one-way valve 12 can discharge the gas from the low temperature gas heat exchanger 8 to the gas heater 13, avoiding the safety problems caused by excessive pressure. At the same time, the one-way valve 12 can prevent the high temperature gas of the gas heater 13 from flowing back into the low temperature gas heat exchanger 8 to cause the temperature rise of the cold head 6 of the low temperature refrigerator when operating at high temperature, thereby protecting the cold head 6 of the low temperature refrigerator.

[0085] The temperature-adjusted helium enters the calibration source body 14 to cool the calibration source body. The calibration source body 13 has a dual pipeline system of helium and liquid nitrogen, which can perform more flexible temperature control. In the early stage of temperature reduction, if necessary, the calibration source liquid nitrogen can also be used to assist in cooling the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen tank 15. The calibration source liquid nitrogen supply valve 16 is opened, and liquid nitrogen enters the calibration source body 13, and excess liquid nitrogen or nitrogen gas is discharged through the discharge port 17.

[0086] The helium in the system is filled through the helium filling port (valve) 18.

[0087] Since the system uses helium as the medium to transmit the calibration source in the pipeline, the calibration source body 14 can be installed in the vacuum container 19 of the spacecraft thermal test vacuum equipment in any posture and position.

[0088] The embodiment of the utility model provides a helium wide temperature range temperature control device for infrared calibration blackbody source. This temperature control system uses helium as a medium to transmit cold and heat, controls the temperature of the calibration source, meets the wide temperature range temperature control requirements of the calibration source from 50K to a higher temperature of 500K, and can enable the calibration source to be installed in a vacuum container of a spacecraft thermal test vacuum equipment in various postures and positions.
