Abstract

The invention provides a modularized space parabolic cylinder antenna folding and unfolding mechanism and relates to an antenna mechanism in order to solve the problems that an existing unfolded type parabolic cylinder antenna structure is low in molded surface accuracy, poor in stability and low in integral rigidity, an umbrella antenna structure is not suitable for the structure formed by stretching a reflecting surface, an unfolding truss antenna structure can only be unfolded unidirectionally, and a parabolic cylinder can not be formed. The modularized space parabolic cylinder antenna folding and unfolding mechanism comprises two synchronous folding and unfolding module supports, multiple locating folding and unfolding module supports, a plurality of folding and unfolding arms and a plurality of tensioning pull cords. Each folding and unfolding arm comprises an elastic hinge, two folding and unfolding arm levers and two outer connectors. Each synchronous folding and unfolding module support comprises an outer supporting plate, an inner supporting plate, locking and limiting devices and a rotary connecting device. Synchronous folding and unfolding modules are arranged on the two sides of the multiple locating folding and unfolding module supports respectively. The mounting end of the outer supporting plate of each synchronous folding and unfolding module support and the mounting end of the inner supporting plate of the synchronous folding and unfolding module support are rotatably connected through the corresponding rotary connecting device. The modularized space parabolic cylinder antenna folding and unfolding mechanism is applied to satellites or space stations.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an antenna mechanism, in particular to a modular expandable antenna mechanism composed of a plurality of modules for expanding and supporting a satellite-borne parabolic cylindrical reflector antenna, and belongs to the technical field of satellite antenna structures. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology and the promotion of applications, in the fields of satellite communication, wireless broadcasting system, earth observation, land remote sensing, deep space exploration and deep space communication, space-borne large-scale deployable antennas have been widely used in navigation satellites, communication satellites, etc. , relay satellites, meteorological satellites and reconnaissance satellites.
