Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of dynamic stiffness test of hinge mechanism of solar cell array, and more specifically, to a device for simulating weightlessness environment based on nitrogen spring and air floating pad. Background Art

[0002] Satellite solar arrays are generally composed of several substrates with solar cells attached. The substrates and the solar array and the satellite are connected by space hinges. Therefore, dynamic modeling and simulation analysis are required in the design of solar arrays, and accurate simulation of complex hinges is a major challenge. It has been proven that the stiffness of the hinge has a significant impact on dynamic modeling and simulation analysis. Therefore, it is necessary to use an exciter to excite the counterweight connected to the hinge in a simulated weightless environment to achieve resonance and obtain the dynamic stiffness and of the hinge. Currently, the suspension method and air flotation support method are widely used to simulate weightless or low-gravity environments. Although the suspension method can simulate a weightless environment, the rubber rope used for suspension will have a certain degree of influence on the dynamic stiffness test of the space hinge due to its inherent characteristics; since the test needs to measure the dynamic stiffness of the hinge, when using the current air flotation device, the center of gravity of the counterweight object may shift when the exciter is used for the test, which will cause changes in the simulated weightless environment. At the same time, due to the force between the hinges acting on the counterweight block, the air flotation cushion needs to provide more than just gravity. The current air flotation device cannot adjust the air flotation height to eliminate the force between the hinges. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the above-mentioned air flotation device cannot adapt to the changes in the simulated weightless environment caused by the shift of the center of gravity of the object and cannot adjust the height, resulting in ignoring the force between the hinges. A simulated weightless environment device based on a nitrogen spring and an air flotation pad is proposed, which effectively avoids the influence of the force between the hinges on the dynamic stiffness test, and can still keep the air flotation platform level when the center of gravity of the counterweight block shifts when it is excited by the exciter.

[0004] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions: a device for simulating weightlessness environment based on nitrogen springs and air floating cushions, comprising a base plate, a hinge fixing mechanism, a space hinge, a counterweight, an air floating support mechanism and an exciting device, wherein the hinge fixing mechanism, the air floating support mechanism and the exciting device are sequentially mounted on the base plate, one end of the space hinge is connected to the hinge fixing mechanism, the other end of the space hinge is connected to one side of the counterweight, the other side of the counterweight is connected to the exciting rod of the exciting device, the counterweight is arranged on the air floating support mechanism and air floating support is formed on the counterweight through the air floating support mechanism;

[0005] The hinge fixing mechanism comprises a hinge mounting seat support block, a hinge mounting seat and a hinge mounting flange, the bottom of the hinge mounting seat support block is fixed to the bottom plate, the hinge mounting seat is fixed to the hinge mounting seat support block, the hinge mounting flange is fixed to a side surface of the hinge mounting seat, one end of the space hinge to be measured is fixed to the hinge mounting seat through the hinge mounting flange; the other end of the space hinge to be measured is fixedly connected to a vertical side surface of the counterweight block through a lightweight rigid rod;

[0006] The excitation device comprises an exciter mounting seat, an exciter mounting seat support block, an exciter and an excitation rod, the excitation rod is horizontally mounted at the output end of the exciter, the exciter is fixed on the exciter mounting seat, the exciter mounting seat is fixed on the exciter mounting seat support block, and the bottom of the exciter mounting seat support block is fixed on the bottom plate;

[0007] The air floating support mechanism includes a nitrogen spring mounting seat, an air floating platform, a weighing sensor, a weighing sensor base, a universal joint, a lifting plate, a limiting rod, an air floating cushion, an air floating cushion base and four nitrogen springs. The nitrogen spring mounting seat is fixed on the bottom plate, the bottoms of the four nitrogen springs are fixed on the nitrogen spring mounting seat and the four nitrogen springs are evenly arranged on the nitrogen spring mounting seat, the upper ends of the four nitrogen springs are connected to the lifting plate through universal joints, the weighing sensor base is fixed above the lifting plate, the weighing sensor is fixed above the weighing sensor base, the air floating platform is fixed above the weighing sensor, at least three air floating cushions are provided, each of which is installed on the air floating platform through the air floating cushion base, and the counterweight is provided above the air floating cushion. When the air floating cushion is working, the surface of the air floating cushion and the bottom of the counterweight form air floating so that the counterweight is suspended above the air floating cushion; the limiting rod is arranged around the edge of the entire counterweight, and at least four limiting rods are provided and the bottom of the limiting rod is fixed on the nitrogen spring mounting seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom plate is provided with evenly distributed positioning grooves, and the bottoms of the nitrogen spring mounting seat, hinge mounting seat support block and exciter mounting seat support block are all provided with positioning blocks, and the nitrogen spring mounting seat, hinge mounting seat support block and exciter mounting seat are installed through the cooperation of the positioning blocks and the positioning grooves on the bottom plate. Thus, the nitrogen spring mounting seat, hinge mounting seat support block and exciter mounting seat can be accurately installed on the bottom plate, which improves the positioning accuracy of the entire device and facilitates the replacement of new space hinges.

[0009] Furthermore, four universal joint bases are arranged at the bottom of the lifting plate, and the heads of four nitrogen springs are connected to the four universal joint bases at the bottom of the lifting plate through universal joints. The nitrogen springs act to provide a constant force, and when the center of gravity of the counterweight block shifts due to the exciting movement, causing the air floating platform to tilt, the piston rod of the nitrogen spring extends or contracts and, through the action of the universal joint, keeps the air floating platform level.

[0010] Furthermore, the connections between the two ends of the lightweight rigid rod and the counterweight block and the space hinge are both rigid connections.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the weighing sensor, the weighing sensor base, and the lifting plate are all provided with positioning holes, and the bottom of the weighing sensor, the weighing sensor base, and the lifting plate are connected by threads. The upper end of the weighing sensor is positioned with the air floating platform through the positioning holes.

A height adjustment mechanism is equipped with two bolts, and there are two threaded through holes on both sides of the circumference of the air-floating cushion base. The lower inclined iron of the height adjustment mechanism is moved by the action of the thread, driving the upper inclined iron of the height adjustment mechanism to move up and down to achieve the effect of adjusting the height of the air-floating cushion.

[0013] Furthermore, there are four air-floating cushion bases, which are connected to the air-floating platform through threads. A certain amount of gas is introduced to form an air film between the air-floating cushion and the bottom surface of the counterweight, which reduces friction to improve the accuracy of the dynamic stiffness test results and simulates a weightless environment.

[0014] Furthermore, the four air floating cushions are respectively connected to an external air supply device through a pressure regulating valve provided with an air pipe.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. The traditional suspension type simulates the weightless environment and uses rubber ropes to hang the counterweight. Since this device is used to measure the dynamic stiffness, the inherent characteristics of the rubber ropes will affect the accuracy of the test results. The present invention uses an air flotation device to reduce the external influence on the dynamic stiffness of the hinge.

[0017] 2. The present invention has a universal joint structure. When the center of gravity of the counterweight is shifted by the vibration exciter, the nitrogen spring piston rod at the bottom that provides constant force will be retracted or extended, resulting in uneven force and thus causing the air-floating platform to tilt. The universal joint can keep the air-floating platform level in this case. A limit rod is installed at the base of the air-floating support mechanism to prevent the counterweight from falling off the air-floating platform when the center of gravity shifts.

[0018] 3. The four air-floating cushion devices on the same platform are connected to the external air supply device through pressure-regulating valves with air pipes, which not only ensures the balance of supporting force, but also effectively avoids mutual interference between the air-floating cushion devices. The weighing sensor can also measure the disturbance of the air pipe to improve the accuracy of the test. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
