The invention discloses a pressing device for a planar antenna and a
layout method. The pressing device comprises a first sleeve, a pressing rod, an embedded part, a second sleeve, a third sleeve, a force application sleeve, an outer sleeve, a
honeycomb pad, a pressing nut, a spherical pad, a spring top sleeve, a compression spring, a spring bottom sleeve and a separation nut. The pressing device takes two antenna plates as a group and is respectively connected with a
satellite platform, so that 'layered pressing' between a plurality of plates and a
satellite body is realized. According to the invention, the release
stroke of the pressing device is not influenced by the number of the antenna plates, and the connection of a plurality of plates and a star body is converted into a connection structure form of two plates and the star body, so that the reliability of unlocking is improved; the shell and the star platform are positioned and reset through the separation nut, and compared with a pin positioning mode, the problems that the
machining difficulty of a star mounting surface is large, and the precision is difficult to guarantee are solved; and compression among a plurality of antenna plates is transmitted through the embedded parts, and compared with a traditional sleeve for transmitting force, the compression effect of the antenna is better.
