Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of astronomical observation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a single-path multi-star simulation structure. Background Technology
[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this utility model and may not constitute prior art.
[0003] A single-path multi-star simulator is a high-precision optical simulation device used for ground testing. Its main function is to simulate the distribution of stars or specific point targets in the night sky, providing a performance verification environment for precision tracking and positioning systems (precision tracking subsystems) such as astronomical cameras and star sensors. It reconstructs a realistic observation area in the laboratory, thus enabling the testing and calibration of core functions such as target extraction and astronomical positioning without the need for actual field observation experiments, significantly improving R&D efficiency and testing convenience.
[0004] Traditional single-channel multi-satellite simulators typically consist of a support, a lens barrel, a built-in star point plate, and a light source. In actual use, the light emitted by the light source passes through a star point plate engraved with simulated star point patterns, and is then collimated by the lens assembly before being emitted, forming a near-infinite horizontal star beam for the device under test to collect and identify. Traditional lens barrels are often made of materials such as steel or aluminum alloy to ensure structural strength, and the star point plate is fixedly installed inside the lens barrel.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned technologies have the following drawbacks: due to the fixed setting of the star point plate, when it is necessary to change different star charts or target scene simulations, it is often necessary to disassemble and reassemble the entire equipment in a cumbersome manner. This not only leads to low operating efficiency, but also introduces mechanical errors during repeated disassembly and reassembly, which in turn affects the simulation accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a single-channel multi-satellite simulation structure that can effectively improve the convenience of structural adjustments, while simultaneously increasing operational efficiency, reducing mechanical errors generated during repeated disassembly and assembly, and ensuring accurate simulation.
[0007] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
