Self-calibrating temperature sensor device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of spacecraft temperature measurement and calibration, and particularly relates to a device capable of realizing online calibration of a temperature measurement system in a special environment.
Background
Temperature sensors such as platinum resistors can generate temperature drift and time drift in the long-term use process. Currently, the industry generally monitors the annual drift amount of a platinum resistor through regular checking of the resistance value of a key temperature point of the platinum resistor, wherein the annual drift amount of the industrial platinum resistor is large, and the annual stability is 0.1 ℃. In actual metering use, in order to ensure that data is accurate and reliable, the industrial platinum resistor is subjected to aging treatment at the upper and lower use temperature limits in each metering period. However, the platinum resistance temperature sensor used in a special environment cannot perform corresponding processing, the annual temperature drift amount is larger than that in a normal environment, and a large error is introduced into a high-precision temperature measurement system. Temperature measurement in special environments is extremely important and widely applied in the industrial fields of metallurgy manufacturing, material processing, power systems and the like in China, and more importantly, with the development of important projects such as manned spaceflight, lunar exploration projects, nuclear power projects and the like in China, an urgent need exists for an online calibration technology. Through the influence of the long-time space comprehensive environment in the rail and the influence of the temperature drift and the time drift of the temperature measuring system, the temperature measuring accuracy can be reduced to different degrees. For example, the design life of a high-orbit 20-meter SAR satellite is 8 years, and the high-precision temperature control requirements of a rubidium clock and an accelerometer of the high-orbit 20-meter SAR satellite put higher requirements on the precision of a temperature measurement system. Therefore, the requirement on online calibration is harsh, and the self-calibration function can be realized on site in special environment.
