Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a space load unfolding device, and in particular to a foldable multi-dimensional unfolding mechanism for space loads. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the development of satellite communication technology, in order to solve the Internet access problems in remote areas, aviation, navigation and other fields, satellite Internet technology that combines satellite communication and the Internet has gradually become one of the main trends in the development of satellite communication technology. As the requirements of satellite Internet systems for capacity, performance, and on-orbit life continue to increase, how to more efficiently meet the different application requirements of different regions and time domains during the operation of satellites in orbit, how to improve the efficiency of transponder utilization and increase revenue returns have become the focus of satellite Internet systems.

[0003] Satellite antennas are located at the forefront of satellite communication systems. Their performance directly affects the quality of satellite communication and plays an important role in satellite communication systems. Satellite antennas commonly used in communication satellites can be divided into three categories: lens antennas, reflector antennas and phased array antennas. Among them, reflector antennas are the most widely used in communication satellites. The technology is relatively mature and has the advantages of low cost, simple structure, wide frequency range and high gain. Existing reflector antennas are feed bias antennas, which are mainly composed of a feed source and a reflector. Most of the reflectors are parabolic. During installation, the feed source and the secondary reflector are offset from the front of the main reflector to avoid blocking the central field of view of the main reflector, so that the efficiency of the bias antenna is significantly improved. The efficiency of the dual reflector bias antenna can be as high as 80%, which has great application prospects in satellite communication systems.

[0004] With the continuous development of satellite communication technology, the requirements for satellite payloads are becoming higher and higher. Early satellite antennas were generally only required to be fixedly pointed to a certain area on the ground; in recent years, in order to improve the maneuverability and flexibility of satellite communication systems, satellite antennas are usually required to have one-dimensional or multi-dimensional rotation and positioning functions, and antenna pointing mechanisms were born. In satellite systems, antenna pointing mechanisms are mainly used to drive satellite antennas to rotate in one or more dimensions to achieve functions such as aiming, positioning and tracking of ground targets, and they play an irreplaceable role in satellite communication systems.

[0005] At present, wide coverage and lightweight satellite-borne antenna pointing mechanisms have gradually become the key to promoting the development of satellite communication technology. In order to reduce the spatial envelope of the satellite body in the rocket fairing, the feed bias antenna mechanism is installed on the satellite outer cabin board in a locked state. After unfolding, the mechanism performs two-dimensional pointing movement above the cabin board. Since the area size of the main reflector is relatively large, its movement mode is the rotation of the main reflector surface, and it moves around the secondary reflector axis under the action of the driving connecting rod. Therefore, it occupies a large envelope space above the cabin board, affecting the layout of the remaining space payloads of the satellite on the satellite body. In the case of limited space, some payloads cannot be carried, and the carried payload is small, which makes the layout of the satellite body difficult and affects the functional requirements of the satellite to perform its mission.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] In order to reduce the motion envelope of the antenna pointing mechanism above the satellite cabin, reduce the difficulty of satellite layout, and increase the number and types of satellite units, the present invention provides a foldable multi-dimensional unfolding mechanism for space payloads. During the launch phase, the foldable multi-dimensional unfolding mechanism is in a locked state, and the sub-reflector antenna and the main reflector antenna are installed on the inner side of the satellite cabin. After entering orbit and unlocking, under the action of the coil spring, the sub-connecting rod rotates 180°, so that the sub-reflector antenna and the main reflector antenna both move to the outside of the satellite to scan the ground. Since the main reflector antenna performs two-dimensional motion scanning on the outside of the satellite, it has little impact on the layout of the satellite cabin. At the same time, since the sub-reflector antenna has a small area and does not rotate, the space motion envelope occupied by it when it is folded 180° is very small, which has little impact on the layout of the satellite cabin, and is conducive to the satellite carrying more units.

[0031] The sub-reflector motor 62 of the mechanism of the present invention is a hollow motor. When the satellite-borne antenna transmits signals, the main reflector antenna 1 transmits the collected signal waves to the sub-reflector antenna 2.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the main ejector 81 includes a main separation head 811 and a main connecting bolt 812. The main separation head 811 is arranged on the main locking column 82. The main connecting bolt 812 is used to connect the main separation head 811 and the main locking device pressure plate 83. After power is turned on, the main separation head 811 and the main connecting bolt 812 are disengaged, so that the main locking column 82 and the main locking device pressure plate 83 are disengaged. The main separation head 811 includes a nickel-titanium memory alloy wire, a spring, a steel ball, a connecting sleeve, etc. When power is turned on, the memory alloy wire contracts, driving the sliding bolt to move upward, and the limiting steel ball bounces into the sliding bolt groove, the bolt elimination constraint is released, and it moves downward. The limiting steel column of the main separation head 811 bounces into the groove above the bolt elimination, and the connecting sleeve connected to the main connecting bolt 812 pops up upward to release the lock.

During the low-speed deployment of the secondary connecting rod 5, the main reflector antenna 1 and the secondary reflector antenna 2 move 180° through the secondary reflector motor 62 to reach the commanded position, and start the ground scanning working mode.
