[0014] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present disclosure provides a deformation structure for a cabin body wall of a cryogenic wind tunnel, which comprises a compensation plate 1, the middle part of the compensation plate 1 is configured as a U-shaped structure, the convex part of the U-shaped structure faces the external environment space, so as to ensure that the space inside the cabin body is relatively large. Of course, in other embodiments, the convex part of the U-shaped structure faces the internal environment space. The end part of the compensation plate 1 and the cabin body wall are both provided with a plurality of bolt holes, the plurality of bolt holes are arranged at equal intervals in a wave shape, the compensation plate 1 and the cabin body wall are connected through the bolts 5 penetrating the bolt holes of the cabin body wall and the bolt holes of the compensation plate 1, and the metal gasket 3 is installed between the compensation plate 1 and the cabin body wall, and the metal gasket 3 is used to strengthen the stable connection between the cabin body wall and the compensation plate 1.

[0016] It can be understood that the cabin body wall of the special cryogenic experiment is special in environment. The inside of the cabin body wall needs to be completely dry and sealed, and the inside of the cabin body wall needs to reach deep cold. The cabin body wall is built with a metal compensation plate 1 outside. Because of the large temperature difference, the shape of the cabin body wall will change in length, width and height. The frame built by ordinary civil engineering and the compensation plate 1 cannot change in shape. Now the deformation joint structure is added between the cabin body walls, so that the size of the cabin body wall can change with the demand of the experimental environment. The two ends of the compensation plate 1 are connected with the adjacent two cabin body walls through the bolts 5 and the metal gaskets 3, the middle part of the compensation plate 1 is configured as a U-shaped structure, and the U-shaped structure is used for expansion and contraction compensation of the cabin body wall, that is, when the cabin body expands or shrinks due to heat, the U-shaped structure can provide a certain compensation amount for the circumference of the cabin body, so as to ensure normal use of the cabin body, and the compensation structure is convenient for processing and installation.

[0017] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1, the cabin wall comprises an inner cabin wall 7 and an outer cabin wall 8 connected with the inner cabin wall 7, the two ends of the compensation plate 1 are bent outwardly for connecting with the intersection of the inner cabin wall 7 and the outer cabin wall 8, and the inner side of the two ends of the compensation plate 1 is welded with the inner cabin wall 7. By designing a deformation structure called "compensation plate 1", the deformation problem of the cabin wall of the cryogenic wind tunnel under different temperatures is effectively solved. The two ends of the compensation plate 1 are connected with the inner cabin wall 7 and the outer cabin wall 8 respectively, and the firm connection is realized through welding. When the cabin wall is heated and expanded or cooled and contracted, the compensation plate 1 can deform flexibly, thereby absorbing and balancing the stress caused by thermal expansion and cold contraction, ensuring the stability of the overall shape of the cabin wall and avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0018] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The deformation structure further comprises two metal reinforcing plates 6 arranged at the bent portions of the ends of the compensation plate 1 and away from the side of the metal gasket 3, which effectively enhances the pressure resistance and stability of the wind tunnel cabin wall when it is bent, and improves the overall reliability and service life.

[0019] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The gap between the metal gasket 3 and the cabin wall and the compensation plate 1 is filled with butyl rubber 4, which plays a sealing role, effectively solving the deformation problem of the cabin wall of the cryogenic wind tunnel during temperature change, and ensuring the sealing property and structural stability of the cabin wall.
