Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coronagraph technology, and more particularly to a multi-layer heat insulation structure for a space coronagraph scientific exploration module. Background Technology
[0002] The coronagraph module of the space station's exoplanet imaging system probes exoplanets around nearby stars through its scientific exploration module, studying their physical properties. The multi-layered thermal insulation assembly is a key component for the external thermal insulation and internal gas depressurization of the coronagraph's scientific exploration module. This multi-layered structure consists of overlapping nylon mesh and insulating films. During launch, the external pressure of the multi-layered thermal insulation assembly drops rapidly, and the internal flow field changes rapidly, causing structural deformation under pressure. Excessive pressure can lead to structural damage. If the multi-layered thermal insulation assembly fails due to structural damage, it cannot be repaired, severely impacting the normal operation of the coronagraph's scientific exploration module. Therefore, providing a multi-layered thermal insulation assembly structure design with good temperature resistance and high tensile strength is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the coronagraph's scientific exploration module. Existing multi-layered structures simply place the reflectors and spacers sequentially, making the multi-layered thermal insulation assembly susceptible to damage from pressure changes and failing to completely isolate heat conduction between two reflectors, resulting in poor thermal insulation performance.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a multi-layer heat insulation structure for a space coronagraph scientific exploration module, comprising a surrounding membrane 1, an inner multi-layer structure 2, and a coating heat insulation layer 5. The membrane 1 consists of two layers of polyimide black film, which wrap the multi-layer structure 2. The multi-layer structure 2 is a 5-unit multi-layer structure, and each unit includes a spacer layer 201 and a reflector screen 202 from the inside out. The spacer layer 201 is made of nylon mesh. The reflector screen 202 is made of double-sided aluminized polyester perforated film with an aluminization thickness of 6 μm. The spacer layer 201 and the reflector screen 202 are bonded together with a heat-resistant adhesive 203, which is 802, 804, or 902 glue, and the long-term operating temperature is maintained at -60℃ to +120℃. The heat-resistant adhesive 203 is applied to the spacer layer 201 by spraying, and the spacer layer 201 is then bonded to the reflective screen 202. The thickness of the heat-resistant adhesive 203 is 0.1~0.2mm, and the amount of adhesive used per unit area is 10-17g / m2. The reflective screen 202 of the multilayer 2 faces the outer surface 101 of the mask 1, and the spacer layer 201 of the multilayer 2 faces the inner surface 102 of the mask 1.
[0019] A heat insulation coating layer 5 with a thickness of 0.5~2mm is coated on the spacer layer 201 of the multilayer 2 near the inner surface 102 of the face mask 1. The heat insulation coating layer 5 uses UGC series heat insulation coating produced by Zhejiang Yangu Technology Co., Ltd., which has the characteristics of good heat insulation, high bonding strength, short drying time, low shrinkage rate and not easy to crack after drying.
[0020] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a Velcro fastener 4 is provided on the edge area of the outer surface 101 of the mask 1; the length of each Velcro fastener 4 is preferably 30mm~100mm, and the spacing between each Velcro fastener 4 is preferably 30mm~100mm. The Velcro fastener 4 is composed of a hook layer 401 and a fleece layer 402. When the hook layer 401 and the fleece layer 402 are pressed together, the short hooks and fleece loops are hooked together and fastened. When subjected to a tensile force greater than 10kg perpendicular to the base surface 403, the elastic hooks are straightened and detached from the fleece loops, and then the hook layer 401 returns to its original hook shape.
[0021] The stitching material 3 is located directly below the Velcro 4, stitching the mask 1, the multi-layer 2 and the Velcro 4 together to form a whole.
