The above-mentioned structural setting uses the flat heat pipe 2 and the first heat pipe 1 to accelerate heat dissipation, reduce conduction thermal resistance and contact thermal resistance, shorten the heat dissipation path, and make the heat generated by the antenna assembly 200 when working quickly transferred to the satellite cabin board 100 for heat dissipation. At the same time, by setting the second heat pipe 3, the satellite cabin board 100 is further cooled and the heat is dissipated to the cold space, which is conducive to reducing the temperature difference between the antenna assembly 200 and the satellite cabin board 100 of the phased array antenna, improving the heat dissipation quality of the heat dissipation structure of the phased array antenna to the antenna assembly 200, and ensuring the normal operation of the antenna assembly 200.

The first thermally conductive insulating pad 22 facilitates heat conduction and heat dissipation, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency between the flat heat pipe 2 and the first heat pipe 1 .

[0056] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 A second protrusion 23 is provided on the surface of the flat heat pipe 2 away from the first protrusion 21, that is, the first protrusion 21 and the second protrusion 23 are respectively located on both sides of the flat heat pipe 2, and the first protrusion 21 and the second protrusion 22 are used to install and support devices with different heat consumption of the antenna assembly 200. At the same time, the setting of the second protrusion 23 ensures that the device of the antenna assembly 200 arranged on the second protrusion 23 can be in contact with the flat heat pipe 2, and a certain heat dissipation gap is left between the flat heat pipe 2, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0057] See also Figure 4 , a second heat-conducting insulating pad 231 is provided on the second protrusion 23. The second heat-conducting insulating pad 231 has good viscosity, flexibility, good compression performance and excellent thermal conductivity, and can completely discharge the air between the second protrusion 23 and the components of the antenna assembly 200, so as to achieve full contact and enhance the heat transfer efficiency between the antenna assembly 200 and the second protrusion 23. Optionally, the thickness of the second heat-conducting insulating pad 231 in this embodiment is 0.3 mm, and the compression amount is designed to be 50%, that is, when the second heat-conducting insulating pad 231 is used, its thickness can be compressed to 0.15 mm to reduce the thermal resistance of the second heat-conducting insulating pad 231 itself in the thickness direction.

[0058] Alternatively, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A plurality of second protrusions 23 are provided, and the plurality of second protrusions 23 are spaced apart on the flat heat pipe 2 so that the plurality of components of the antenna assembly 200 are spaced apart on the flat heat pipe 2 to prevent the occurrence of excessively high local temperatures and thus affect the normal operation of the antenna assembly 200.

[0059] Optionally, the first heat pipe 1 and the second heat pipe 3 are both I-shaped double-hole ammonia axial groove heat pipes, and the pipe material is aluminum alloy.

[0060] This embodiment also provides a phased array antenna, including the heat dissipation structure of the phased array antenna, wherein the antenna assembly 200 includes a first antenna module and a second antenna module respectively installed on both sides of the flat heat pipe 2. Figures 2 to 6 The first antenna module includes an antenna transmitting unit 201 and an electronic component 202. The electronic component 202 is arranged on the first protrusion 21. The antenna transmitting unit 201 is arranged on the electronic component 202 and extends out of the outer surface of the satellite cabin board 100. The second antenna module is arranged on the second protrusion 23 of the flat heat pipe 2 away from the first protrusion 21. The phased array antenna provided in this embodiment reasonably distributes the positions of antenna components with different high heat content by installing the first antenna module of the antenna assembly 200 on the first protrusion 21 and arranging the second antenna module on the second protrusion 22 of the flat heat pipe 2 away from the first protrusion 21, optimizing the heat dissipation path, so that the heat generated by the first antenna module with higher heat consumption during operation can be more quickly conducted to the cabin board and dissipated, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the antenna transmitting unit.

[0061] Alternatively, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The electronic component 202 includes a multi-layer circuit board 2021 welded on the first protrusion 21, and an AOP module 2022 welded on the multi-layer circuit board 2021, wherein the AOP module 2022 is a packaged electronic structure carrying a chip to achieve functions such as signal transmission and processing. Further, the antenna carrier 2023 is arranged on the surface of the AOP module 2022 away from the multi-layer circuit board 2021, and the antenna transmitting unit 201 is arranged on the AOP module 2022 of the electronic component 202 through the antenna carrier 2023, and exposes the outer surface of the satellite cabin board 100. Specifically, the antenna transmitting unit 201 is welded to the antenna carrier 2023, and the surface of the antenna carrier 2023 away from the antenna transmitting unit 201 is welded on the AOP module 2022, so that the antenna transmitting unit 201 is exposed on the outer surface of the satellite cabin board 100 to achieve signal transmission and reception. In actual engineering applications, there are multiple antenna transmitting units 201 and AOP modules 2022, and each AOP module 2022 is equipped with 5 chips. The total power consumption of the AOP module 2022 can reach 2.5W, and about 85% of the heat loss of the antenna assembly 200 is concentrated on the AOP module 2022. As an electronic component with high power consumption, the AOP module 2022 in the above structural setting can conduct heat to the flat heat pipe 2 through the multi-layer circuit board 2021, and the welding of the multi-layer circuit board 2021 and the flat heat pipe 2 is also conducive to reducing the contact thermal resistance to accelerate heat dissipation.

[0062] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4The second antenna module includes a wave control board 203 and a first chip assembly 204 and a second chip assembly 205 arranged on the wave control board 203. The wave control board 203 is spaced apart from the flat heat pipe 2. The first chip assembly 204 is sandwiched between the second heat conductive insulating pad 231 and the wave control board 203. The above arrangement enables the first chip assembly 204 with relatively high heat consumption to conduct heat to the first heat pipe 1 and the satellite cabin board 100 through the heat conductive pad 331 and the flat heat pipe 2 in sequence. The second chip assembly 205 with relatively low heat consumption is arranged on the surface of the wave control board 203 away from the flat heat pipe 2. By optimizing the position arrangement of the wave control board 203, the first chip assembly 204 and the second chip assembly 205 in the second antenna module, the heat dissipation of the antenna assembly 200 is optimized, the heat dissipation path of the device with high heat consumption is reduced, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved.

[0063] Alternatively, see Figure 4 The first chip assembly 204 includes an AI chip 2041, a power chip 2042 and a refresh chip 2043. A plurality of second protrusions 23 are provided, and the plurality of second protrusions 23 are arranged at intervals on the flat heat pipe 2, so that the AI ​​chip 2041, the power chip 2042 and the refresh chip 2043 can be correspondingly welded on a second protrusion 23, wherein the AI ​​chip 2041 is a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip, which is a device with high heat consumption in the first chip assembly 204. By optimizing the setting position of the first chip assembly 204 on the wave control board 203, its heat dissipation path can be reduced.

[0066] This embodiment also provides a satellite platform, including the above-mentioned phased array antenna, see Figures 6 to 8A mounting hole 101 is formed through the satellite cabin panel 100 of the satellite platform. The shape and size of the mounting hole 101 can be set according to the shapes and installation positions of the first heat pipe 1 and the flat heat pipe 2 to ensure that part of the first heat pipe 1 is located in the mounting hole 101 and is in contact with the flat heat pipe 2. The first protrusion 21 and the electronic component 202 are accommodated in the mounting hole 101, and the antenna transmitting unit 201 extends out of the outer surface of the satellite cabin panel 100. The satellite platform provided in this embodiment has a mounting hole 101 opened on the satellite cabin panel 100, so that the first heat pipe 1 buried in the satellite cabin panel 100 is abutted against the flat heat pipe 2 supporting the antenna assembly 200, and the space required for installing the first heat pipe 1, the flat heat pipe 2 and the antenna assembly 200 is reduced in a direction perpendicular to the satellite cabin panel 100. That is, by opening the mounting hole 101 and accommodating the first antenna module in the mounting hole 101, and partially accommodating the flat heat pipe 2 in the mounting hole 101, the space required for installing the first heat pipe 1, the flat heat pipe 2 and the antenna assembly 200 in a direction perpendicular to the cabin panel 1 is reduced by the thickness of the cabin panel, thereby making the overall size of the phased array antenna thinner. When the heat dissipation structure of the phased array antenna and the phased array antenna are applied to the satellite platform, the overall envelope size of the satellite is reduced.

[0067] The satellite platform in this embodiment further includes a housing 102 disposed opposite to the mounting hole 101. Figures 6 to 8 The shell 102 is connected to the cabin board 1 and the flat plate heat pipe 2 respectively, and the second antenna module is accommodated in the shell 102. The flat plate heat pipe 2 is fixed to the outer surface of the satellite cabin board 1 through the shell 102, and the flat plate heat pipe 2 and the second antenna module are also enclosed. Except for the antenna transmitting unit 201 exposed on the cabin board 1, the other parts of the antenna assembly 200 are all in the mounting hole 101 and the shell 102, so that the overall size of the phased array antenna is thinner and the integration is high, which is conducive to reducing the overall envelope size of the satellite when the phased array antenna in this embodiment is applied to the satellite platform.

[0068] Alternatively, see Figures 6 to 8 The shell 102 includes a bottom plate 1021 and a frame 1022 surrounding the bottom plate 1021. The bottom plate 1021 and the frame 1022 form a shell 102 with an opening, and the opening of the shell 102 faces the mounting hole 101. The flat heat pipe 2 is connected to the inner surface of the frame 1022 by screws, and the frame 1022 is installed on the cabin plate 1 by screws, which is convenient for installation and maintenance.
