Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a thermal louver with high reliability for a space vehicle such as an artificial satellite by using shape memory alloy so that blades are fully open at set temperature and decrease in the degree of opening gradually below the temperature. CONSTITUTION:The shape memory alloy 6 is contracted so that the blades are fully open at some set temperature. They are fully closed in a low-temperature state, and the alloy 6 deforms gradually as a radiation surface 1 rises in temperature; and the blades are fully open at the set temperature and the heat radiation is carried on as it is above the temperature. Then, when the temperature drops below the set temperature, the alloy 6 becomes soft to draw a cord 7 against the force of a bias spring, closing the blades.

The blade row 3, which is drawn by the driving force of the bimetal 2 that operates at the temperature of the heat dissipation surface 1, changes the heat dissipation surface 1 by increasing or decreasing the area of the heat dissipation surface 1 exposed toward outer space like a blind. On the back side, there are installed a heat transfer element 5 for transmitting the heat of the device to the IL child device 4 and other locations. Heat dissipation i + near 1 f □ is made of a material such as silver Teflon, which has a low solar absorption rate and a high emissivity, and the entire surface of the blade 3 is made of an aluminum mirror surface with a very low emissivity. It will be done. When the blade 3 is fully closed (FIG. 1(b)), the heat dissipation surface 1 is a heat-insulating shaft covered with the plate 3 and covered with a double-sided metal plate.

The shape memory alloy 6 is contracted in advance at a certain set temperature (for example, 330K) so that the grade becomes fully open as shown in FIG. 1(a). In low temperature conditions, it is fully closed as shown in Figure 1(b). As the temperature of the heat dissipation surface 1 rises, the shape memory alloy 6 gradually deforms, and when it reaches 330K, it becomes the state shown in Fig. 1(d), and at higher temperatures, the shape memory alloy 6 deforms as shown in Fig. 1(d).
Continue heat dissipation in the state of d). When the temperature of the heat dissipating surface drops below 330°C, the shape memory alloy 6 becomes soft and the force of the bias spring 8 overcomes the force of the bias spring 8 and pulls the string 7, causing the blade to move from Figure 1(c) to Figure 1(b). ) to state 1-co. Therefore, the temperature of the shape memory alloy 6 is rM
