Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.Following examples for illustration of the present invention, but are not used for limiting the scope of the invention.
Fig. 1 is the negative expansion type thermal switch schematic diagram of the embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 1, the thermal switch based on negative expansion of the embodiment of the present invention, comprise: negative expansion element 21 and heat conducting element 22, wherein, negative expansion element 21 is made up of negative thermal expansion material, and negative expansion element 21 makes heat conducting element 22 be connected to heat load 23 along with the reduction volumetric expansion of temperature.Particularly, negative expansion element 21 is when temperature is higher than predetermined threshold value, and described heat conducting element 22 disconnects with described heat load 23, and described negative expansion element 21 is when lower than predetermined threshold value, and described heat conducting element 22 closes with described heat load 23.
The negative thermal expansion material used in the present embodiment refers to the class material that coefficient of linear expansion or the coefficient of volume expansion are negative value in certain temperature range, and this material has Anomalous Thermal Expansion characteristic.Guilaume invention face-centered cubic Fe first in 1897 65ni 35an alloy thermal coefficient of expansion order of magnitude lower than normal iron-nickel alloy.Nineteen fifty-one Hummel finds that beta-eucryptite crystalline aggregate is after temperature reaches 1000 DEG C, and temperature continues the phenomenon occurring volume-diminished when raising.Nineteen ninety-five, the Sleight etc. of Oregonstate university of the U.S. has found ZrV (2-X)p xo 7the isotropy negative thermal expansion material of series, negative expansion warm area width reaches 950K.1997, Sleight etc. found that chemical general formula is A 2m 3o 12tungstates and molybdate series negative thermal expansion material, wherein Sc 2w 3o 12it is the widest negative thermal expansion material (10-1200K) of the negative expansion warm area that finds at present.
The present embodiment make use of the negative heat expansion characteristics of material, and negative expansion element 21 is when high-temperature shrinkage is to the first length preset, and heat conducting element 22 and heat load end 31 disconnect, and as shown in Figure 2, negative thermal expansion material 21 is in contraction state.Now, the negative expansion thermal switch 20 that the cold head 11 of the refrigeration machine 10 in refrigerating system connects disconnects, and heat conducting element 22 and heat load end 31 form a gap S, and heat conduction heat flux cannot pass through thermal switch 20.It should be noted that heat conducting element 22 has retractility herein, to coordinate the motion of negative expansion element 21.
Negative expansion element 21 is when low-temperature expansion is to the second length preset, and heat conducting element 22 closes with heat load end 31, and thermal switch and heat load end 31 form heat flow path, and as shown in Figure 3, negative thermal expansion material 21 is in swelling state.Now, the negative expansion thermal switch 20 that the cold head 11 of the refrigeration machine 10 in refrigerating system connects closes, and heat conducting element 22 disappears with the gap S of heat load end 31, and heat conduction heat flux is by thermal switch 20, reach the heat load end 31 of solid refrigerator 30, thus realize the refrigeration to Infrared Detectors 40.
The thermal switch movement travel of the present embodiment is large.With negative thermal expansion material Yb 2.75c 60for example, its coefficient of linear expansion when 30K is-550 × 10 -6/ K, supposes that the axial length of negative thermal expansion material is 20mm, and its axial inflatable 2.97mm at this temperature, comparatively wide arc gap reduces angular coefficient between the both ends of the surface of gap, thus reduces radiation heat transfer, and then increase effectively the disconnection thermal resistance of thermal switch.Meanwhile, in the present invention, heat conducting element 22 surface grinding is to reduce its emissivity, and lower emissivity also has the effect reducing radiation heat transfer between heat conducting element 22 and heat load end 31, and making to disconnect thermal resistance increases.
In embodiment, heat conducting element 22 adopts high thermal conductivity material, and as copper, gold, silver or its alloy are made, heat conducting element, when thermal switch closes, can strengthen refrigeration machine and by the heat conduction between cold element.
Based on said structure, the movement travel of thermal switch of the present invention is comparatively large, and can change with the length of negative thermal expansion material, and after disconnecting, heat flow path heat transfer is only the thermal radiation of S both sides, gap plane, and disconnecting thermal resistance effectively increases.In addition, thermal switch only has two parts, and structure is very simple, and processing and fabricating easily realizes.Meanwhile, Long Distances and polished surface decrease the radiant heat transfer of off-state, increase disconnection thermal resistance.
With negative thermal expansion material Yb in the present embodiment 2.75c 60for the negative expansion element of thermal switch, and setting thermal switch closed temperature is 30K.In other embodiments, thermal switch can be realized in the effective warm area selecting thermal switch to be operated in negative thermal expansion material and control heat flow path function, negative expansion element can be made according to the negative thermal expansion material that the different choice of working temperature is suitable simultaneously.Can make an amendment the concrete shape of negative expansion element 21 and heat conducting element 22, to meet application demand in other embodiment.
Above execution mode is only for illustration of the present invention; and be not limitation of the present invention; the those of ordinary skill of relevant technical field; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; can also make a variety of changes and modification; therefore all equivalent technical schemes also belong to category of the present invention, and scope of patent protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
