Abstract

The invention discloses an elastic-hinge-driven double-layer annular truss antenna mechanism, relates to an unfoldable antenna mechanism and aims to solve the problems that an existing monocyclic annular truss mechanism is decreased in rigidity along with increase of the antenna aperture and thereby cannot achieve the use stiffness requirements, and an existing annular truss antenna is complex in driving mechanism, large in mechanism weight and quite low in unfolding reliability. The elastic-hinge-driven double-layer annular truss antenna mechanism comprises inner-ring annular truss components, outer-ring annular truss components, a plurality of inner-and-outer-ring connection truss components and a plurality of inhaul cable components, each of the inner-ring annular truss components and the outer-ring annular truss components comprises a plurality of elastic-hinge-driven foldable and unfoldable units and a plurality of elastic-hinge-driven transition foldable and unfoldable components, each two adjacent elastic-hinge-driven foldable and unfoldable units are connected through the corresponding elastic-hinge-driven transition foldable and unfoldable component, and four corresponding vertex angles between each inner-ring annular truss component and the corresponding outer-ring annular truss component are supported and are connected rotatably by one inner-and-outer-ring connection truss component. The elastic-hinge-driven double-layer annular truss antenna mechanism is used for satellites, space stations and space probes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a deployable antenna mechanism, in particular to a double-layer ring-shaped truss-type deployable antenna, which belongs to the technical field of aerospace equipment and equipment. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of space communication, earth observation, deep space exploration, and manned spaceflight, the demand for large-scale, lightweight, and high-geometric stability aerospace space agencies has become very urgent, but limited by the volume of the rocket fairing Due to the limitation of space travel, it is necessary to design a space-expandable mechanism with a large expansion ratio, which is in a folded state during the transportation and launch stages, and unfolds into a working state after the spacecraft enters orbit. The design and related research of the space folding mechanism is one of the key fundamental issues in the development of the future aerospace industry. With the gradual developme...
