摘要: 为了解决某舱外载荷设备在轨运行时因温度波动导致频率稳定性和传递精度下降的问题, 提出一套以被动热控为主、主动热控为辅的高效热控方案. 方案采用单相液冷冷板作为主散热面, 10单元多层隔热组件进行全方位包覆, 并利用高导热材料实现高效热传导; 同时辅以加热片与TEC半导体陶瓷片进行精确控温. 通过有限元仿真分析高低温工况下的温度分布并进行优化设计, 将关键部件温度变化控制在±0.5 K以内. 地面常温热平衡实验和在轨数据结果表明, 该方案有效抑制了温度波动对载荷设备的干扰, 显著提升了设备整体温度均匀性, 使光电二极管等敏感器件工作于最佳温度范围(25~50℃), 舱外载荷温度敏感器件温度变化速率优于0.1 K·min–1, 满足了高精度时频传输系统的在轨稳定性要求, 可为同类航天载荷设备热控设计提供重要参考.Abstract: In order to solve the problem of frequency stability and transmission accuracy decrease caused by temperature fluctuation during on-orbit operation of an extravehicular load equipment, a highly efficient thermal control scheme is proposed which bases on passive thermal control as the main approach and active thermal control as the auxiliary method . The scheme employs a single-phase liquid cold plate as the main heat dissipation surface, and 10-unit multi-layer insulation components for comprehensive encapsulation. High thermal conductivity materials are utilized to achieve efficient heat conduction. Simultaneously, heating sheets and TEC semiconductor ceramic sheets are used for precise temperature control. Through finite element simulation analysis of temperature distribution under both high and low temperature conditions and optimization design, the temperature variation of key components is controlled within ±0.5 K. The ground constant-temperature thermal balance experiment and the in-orbit data results indicate that this scheme effectively suppresses the interference of temperature fluctuations on the load equipment, significantly improves the overall temperature uniformity of the equipment. It enables photodiodes and other sensitive devices to operate within the optimal temperature range (25-50°C). The temperature change rate of temperature-sensitive devices on the extravehicular load equipment is better than 0.1 K·min–1, meeting the on-orbit stability requirements of high-precision time-frequency transmission systems. It can provide an important reference for the thermal control design of similar space load equipment.
