It can simulate different working environments, such as different pressures, temperatures, and flow rates, to accurately obtain the performance parameters of krypton during the propulsion process, much like a "laboratory" specially built for krypton.

[0004] Regarding the existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist: When the existing technologies test the propellant properties of krypton, they generally only conduct single-item heating or cooling tests on krypton, thus failing to understand the propellant properties of krypton under certain conditions such as rapid cooling after high temperature. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5This embodiment of a krypton propellant characteristic testing device includes a test bench 1 and a krypton tank 2. Multiple columns 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the test bench 1. An outlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the krypton tank 2. A pressure pump 5 is installed in the middle of the outlet pipe 4. A three-way valve 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the outlet pipe 4. A first connecting pipe 7 and a second connecting pipe 8 are fixedly connected to one side of the three-way valve 6. A cooling box 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting pipe 7. A first switching valve 9 is installed between the first connecting pipe 7 and the cooling box 11. A heating box 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 8. A second switching valve 10 is installed between the second connecting pipe 8 and the heating box 12. A third connecting pipe 15 is connected between the cooling box 11 and the heating box 12. A third switching valve 13 is installed at the end of the third connecting pipe 15 near the cooling box 11. A fourth switching valve 14 is installed at the end of the third connecting pipe 15 near the heating box 12.

[0026] When it is necessary to study the propulsion characteristics of krypton at different temperatures, the pressure pump 5 is started, so that the krypton inside the krypton tank 2 passes through the outlet pipe 4 to the inside of the three-way valve 6, and then enters the inside of the first connecting pipe 7 and the second connecting pipe 8 through the three-way valve 6 respectively. Then, the first switch valve 9 and the second switch valve 10 are opened respectively, so that the krypton enters the inside of the cooling box 11 and the heating box 12 respectively. The krypton is cooled by the cooling box 11, so that the physicochemical changes of krypton under different low temperature conditions are detected and recorded. The krypton is heated by the heating box 12, so that the physicochemical changes of krypton under different high temperature conditions are detected and recorded.

[0027] Furthermore, the three-way valve 6 includes a fixed cylinder 16 and a movable cylinder 17. The movable cylinder 17 is movably connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 16. A handwheel 18 is provided at one end of the outside of the fixed cylinder 16. A threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the handwheel 18. One end of the threaded rod 19 is rotatably connected to the inside of one end of the movable cylinder 17. An air outlet 20 is provided on one side of the movable cylinder 17. The inside of the movable cylinder 17 is connected to the first connecting pipe 7 and the second connecting pipe 8 through the air outlet 20.

[0028] When it is necessary to test the propulsion characteristics of krypton gas rapidly cooling down at high temperatures, turn the handwheel 18. The handwheel 18 will drive the threaded rod 19 to rotate, and the threaded rod 19 will drive the movable cylinder 17 to move. The movable cylinder 17 will drive the gas outlet 20 to move closer to the connection port of the second connecting pipe 8. When the gas outlet 20 coincides with the connection port of the second connecting pipe 8, the connection port of the first connecting pipe 7 will be closed. The krypton gas will enter the heating chamber 12 for heating through the second connecting pipe 8. Then, open the fourth switch valve 14 so that the heated krypton gas enters the cooling chamber 11 for cooling through the third connecting pipe 15. This allows the physicochemical changes of krypton gas after rapid cooling after heating to be detected and recorded.

[0029] Secondly, when it is necessary to test the propulsion characteristics of krypton gas rapidly heating up after low temperature, turn the handwheel 18 to make the outlet 20 coincide with the connection port of the first connecting pipe 7 and connect them. The connection port of the second connecting pipe 8 will be closed, so that the krypton gas first passes through the cooling box 11 and then enters the interior of the heating box 12.

[0030] Furthermore, a retaining strip 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable cylinder 17, and a retaining groove 22 is machined on the top of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 16. The retaining strip 21 is slidably connected inside the retaining groove 22. When the threaded rod 19 rotates and drives the movable cylinder 17 to move, the movable cylinder 17 will drive the retaining strip 21 to move. The retaining strip 21 will move along the inside of the retaining groove 22. By setting the retaining strip 21, the movement of the movable cylinder 17 is limited by the retaining strip 21, so as to prevent the movable cylinder 17 from rotating.

[0031] Furthermore, the first switching valve 9 includes an inner cylinder 25 and a sleeve 26. The inner cylinder 25 is movably connected inside the sleeve 26. A connecting shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cylinder 25. A rotating wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft 24. A first through hole 27 is opened at both ends of the inner cylinder 25, and a second through hole 28 is opened at both ends of the sleeve 26. The inner diameters of the first through hole 27 and the second through hole 28 are the same.

[0032] When the switch valve needs to be opened, the rotating wheel 23 is rotated, which will drive the connecting shaft 24 to rotate. The connecting shaft 24 will drive the inner cylinder 25 to rotate, so that the first through hole 27 and the second through hole 28 coincide, thereby opening the switch valve. At the same time, by adjusting the opening size of the first through hole 27 and the second through hole 28, the output of krypton can be controlled.

[0033] Furthermore, a first observation window 1101 is provided on one side of the cooling box 11, and a first inner cavity 1102 is opened inside the cooling box 11. A condenser tube 29 is provided inside the first inner cavity 1102. A second observation window 1201 is provided on one side of the heating box 12, and a second inner cavity 1202 is opened inside the heating box 12. A heating wire 30 is provided inside the second inner cavity 1202.

[0034] The first observation window 1101 and the second observation window 1201 are provided to observe the state inside the cooling box 11 and the heating box 12. The observation windows of the first observation window 1101 and the second observation window 1201 are usually made of materials that are resistant to high temperature and high pressure and have good optical properties. The first inner cavity 1102 is provided to achieve cooling and temperature reduction through the existing refrigeration system evaporator, compressor and wire tube condenser. The second inner cavity 1202 is provided to heat the krypton gas inside the heating box 12 by connecting the power supply.

[0035] Working principle: By starting the pressure pump 5, the krypton gas inside the krypton tank 2 passes through the outlet pipe 4 to the three-way valve 6, and then enters the first connecting pipe 7 and the second connecting pipe 8 through the three-way valve 6 respectively. Then, the first switch valve 9 and the second switch valve 10 are opened respectively, so that the krypton gas enters the cooling box 11 and the heating box 12 respectively. The krypton gas is cooled by the cooling box 11 and heated by the heating box 12, so that the propulsion characteristics of the krypton gas under different temperature conditions are detected and recorded respectively.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
