Problems solved by technology

[0005] Relevant scholars from Xidian University proposed a W-style deployable antenna scheme. Since the truss adopts an up-and-down asymmetric structure, it has achieved a breakthrough that the folded height is smaller than the unfolded height, but its structure cannot be completely folded to 90 degrees, so the limit storage ratio in the diameter direction
Therefore, although the W-style deployable antenna solution greatly reduces the folding height, when it is used in a mesh deployable antenna, its diameter storage ratio is difficult to increase

Abstract

The invention discloses a reticulated annular deployable antenna and an antenna truss. The antenna truss comprises an annular structure formed by connecting a plurality of structural units end to end,and the structural units constitute a closed annular structure through sharing cross bars; and one of the structural unit includes four cross bars, two sliding vertical bars, two main vertical bars,two extended vertical bars, four connecting bars, a lower cross bar fixed joint, an upper connecting rod sliding joint, an upper cross bar sliding joint, an upper cross bar fixed joint, a lower connecting bar sliding joint, a lower cross bar sliding joint and four articulation joints. The bars of the structure are distributed on three plane layers along the radial direction, thereby effectively reducing the folding diameter, making full use of the folding space, and greatly reducing the folding height. Compared with similar reticulated deployable antennas, the antenna provided with the invention is significantly improved in height and diameter storage ratio, and thus increases the deployable aperture of the antenna under the condition of realizing the same folding requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of space-borne deployable antennas, in particular to a mesh loop deployable antenna and its antenna truss. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of space exploration technology, satellite antenna technology is one of the fastest-growing technologies in satellite payloads in recent years. Among them, the loop-shaped deployable antenna is considered to be an ideal structural form of a large-scale spaceborne deployable antenna due to its advantages of large aperture, light weight, high precision, and high storage ratio. [0003] The surrounding truss-type deployable mesh antenna is a kind of mesh-like deployable antenna proposed by TRW AstroMesh Company of the United States. At present, the AstroMesh series ring-shaped truss-type deployable antenna can be divided into three generations: the first generation is the AM series, and the second generation is the AM-1 series, the third generation ...
