  • 摘要: 基于月表岩土包含高硬度组分且形成团聚结构,导致传统破碎设备难以实现颗粒高效精细破碎的问题,提出了超声振动耦合旋转剪切的复合破碎方法,设计了螺旋槽式超声纵扭变幅杆,研制了集成超声、压力与旋转机构的小型破碎装置,开展了基于EDEM离散元软件的破碎仿真及试验,揭示了不同粒径颗粒的差异化损伤与崩解的协同破碎机理。试验结果显示,装置破碎效率与颗粒粒径呈负相关,在破碎180 s后0.12~0.85 mm颗粒的破碎率达90%,1~3 mm颗粒的破碎率达70%。可为月表岩土颗粒原位精细破碎设备研发提供低功耗、小体积、高适应性破碎方案,对推动地外天体资源原位高效处理及月球基地建设具有重要参考价值。

     

    Abstract: Efficient and fine crushing of lunar regolith particles is a crucial prerequisite for in-situ resource utilization. Owing to the high-hardness components and agglomerated structure of lunar regolith, traditional crushing equipment cannot meet the demands of efficient and fine particle crushing. To address this issue, a composite crushing method combining ultrasonic vibration with rotational shear is proposed in this study. A spiral-groove ultrasonic longitudinal-torsional horn is designed, and a small-scale crushing device integrating ultrasonic, pressure, and rotational mechanisms is developed. Crushing simulations based on the EDEM discrete element software and experiments are conducted, and the cooperative crushing mechanism involving differential damage and disintegration of particles with different sizes is revealed. The experimental results show that the crushing efficiency of the device is negatively correlated with the particle size. After 180 s crushing time, the crushing rates of particles with sizes of 0.12~0.85 mm, 1~3 mm reach 90% and 70%, respectively. This study provides a low-power, small-volume, and high-adaptability crushing scheme for the development of in-situ crushing equipment for lunar regolith particles, which holds important reference value for promoting the efficient in-situ processing of extraterrestrial celestial resources and the construction of lunar bases.
