The invention relates to a multifunctional gradient heat protection structure suitable for a
planetary exploration reentry
capsule, which comprises a large-area heat
protection layer, an end cap, a bearing structure, a
silicone rubber layer, a connecting screw and a
gasket, and is characterized in that the large-area heat
protection layer comprises a surface anti-
ablation layer and an internal heat
insulation layer; the internal heat
insulation layer and the bearing structure are glued through a
silicone rubber layer, and a surface anti-
ablation layer is laid on the outer surface of the internal heat
insulation layer; the end cap is embedded into the large-area heat-proof layer and glued with the anti-
ablation layer and the heat insulation layer, and the part, embedded into the end cap, of the large-area heat-proof layer is fixedly connected with the internal force bearing structure through a connecting screw and a
gasket; an inclined angle of 10-20 degrees is formed between the surface anti-ablation layer and the local
airflow direction; the end cap is a 2.5 D woven
viscose-based carbon
fiber /
phenolic aldehyde end cap. The problems that a single heat-proof material cannot meet the requirements for heat protection, heat insulation, light weight and
miniaturization at the same time, and interface
layers of different materials crack and peel off at the ultrahigh temperature are solved, and the connection reliability of the heat-proof structure is improved.
