Abstract

A cable-stayed stretch-draw annular expandable antenna mechanism relates to an expandable antenna mechanism and solves the problem that an existing annular truss mechanism has a decrease in stiffnesswith an increase in the diameter of an antenna, cannot meet the stiffness requirements and has a complicated driving mechanism, a large weight and low expansion reliability. The cable-stayed stretch-draw annular expandable antenna mechanism comprises a plurality of cable-stayed stretch-draw expandable unit modules. Each of the cable-stayed stretch-draw expandable unit modules comprises a first expandable unit module and a second expandable unit module which are connected together. The plurality of first expandable unit module and the plurality of second expandable unit modules are arranged alternately and connected together to form a cable-stayed stretch-draw annular truss after expanded. The cable-stayed stretch-draw annular expandable antenna mechanism is good in reliability, compact instructure, light in weight, easy to drive, high in stiffness after fully expanded, meets the requirements for a large-diameter antenna, and is applied to a communication satellite, a space station anda space detector.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an expandable antenna mechanism, in particular to a cable-rod tensioning ring-shaped expandable antenna mechanism, 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 d...
