Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aerospace technology and equipment, and relates to a satellite payload cabin with platform and payload integrated design. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid advancement of remote sensing satellite technology and the continuous expansion of its application fields, space optical camera payloads are increasingly developing in the direction of long focal length and large aperture. Optical systems with long focal length and large aperture are more sensitive to changes in the stiffness of the load-bearing structure and internal and external heat sources, making structural stability and temperature field fluctuations important factors affecting the imaging quality of high-resolution cameras on orbit. As the core of the integrated design of platform and payload, the space optical camera payload has a complex coupling relationship with the external space environment and the satellite platform, and requires multidisciplinary optimization design such as optics, mechanics, electricity, and heat. If the platform and the payload have multiple connection points in the structure, the deformation of the platform structure will directly affect the stability of the payload structure. The functional density of the entire satellite is high, and the heat dissipation of the platform instrument cabin equipment will affect the thermal environment of the camera, thereby affecting the imaging quality.
[0003] Remote sensing satellites are generally composed of satellite platforms and payloads, which are relatively independent in structure and function. The platform provides an installation interface for the payload, and the interface relationship is relatively clear. A typical example is the French "SPOT" series of satellites. Traditional satellites are usually based on a parallel design model. After agreeing on the mechanical, electrical, and thermal interfaces, the satellite platform and space camera are independently developed, with little consideration of the mutual coupling between the two. Insufficient consideration is given to the optimization of the mechanical, electrical, and thermal joint design, making it difficult to give full play to the advantages of the entire satellite, resulting in large resource overheads for satellite envelope space, weight, power consumption, and even insurmountable technical difficulties, leading to repeated iterations in the entire design process.

[0040] When assembling the equipment in the load compartment, it is only necessary to open the east plate 7 and the west plate 8 to form an open operating space without the need for support from a retaining frame tooling.
[0041] Example
[0042] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the platform and payload integrated design satellite payload cabin structure of the present invention includes: a floor 1, a middle partition 2, an east partition 3, a west partition 4, a south plate 5, a north plate 6, an east plate 7, a west plate 8, a heat pipe 9, a middle partition heat pipe bracket 10, a north and south plate heat pipe bracket 11, and a clamp 12.
[0043] The middle partition 2 is a "concave" shaped structure and is located in the YOZ plane; the east partition 3 and the west partition 4 are located in the XOY plane, and are half of the "concave" shaped structure symmetrical about the YOZ plane. The two are vertically connected to the middle partition 2 to form a cross support structure with a notch in the middle; a circular opening is provided in the middle of the floor panel 1, and the south plate 5, north plate 6, east plate 7, and west plate 8 are connected to the floor panel 1 around the cross support structure to form a closed cabin body, and the cabin body size is about 2400mm (X) × 2600mm (Y) × 1000mm (Z); the top plate 1, south plate 5, north plate 6 and the cross support structure together constitute the main load-bearing structure of the payload cabin. After the structural parts are installed, they are generally not disassembled and serve as the installation basis for space cameras and electronic equipment in the cabin.
[0044] The rear cover of the space camera passes through the circular opening of the floor panel 1 and enters the recessed space of the cross-support structure in the cabin, and is installed on the floor panel 1 through the camera flange. The compact structural design can improve the space utilization rate of the payload cabin by more than 10%, reduce the rotational inertia and Z-axis center of mass offset of the entire satellite, improve the mechanical environment of the active segment camera, and at the same time enhance the agile maneuverability of the satellite. In addition, the camera is directly connected to the main load-bearing structure of the payload cabin, the load-bearing path is smooth, the mechanical performance of the entire satellite is good, and the mass of the satellite's bearing structure can be effectively saved.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the heat pipe 9 is an approximately right-angle structure in space, connected by arc transition at the corners, and includes four I-shaped single-hole groove heat pipes, and the mounting surfaces at both ends of the heat pipes are parallel to the XOY plane and the XOZ plane respectively.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a heat collecting plate is installed at the rear cover of the space camera to collect the heat generated by the heat source in the camera. The +X side areas of the south plate 5 and the north plate 6 are respectively provided with a camera heat dissipation surface 101, and the area of a single heat dissipation surface is about 0.4m 2 The heat pipe 9 transfers the heat from the heat collecting plate to the camera heat dissipation surface 101 and radiates heat into the space.
[0047] The middle partition heat pipe bracket 10 is installed on the +X side cabin plate of the middle partition 2 (3 pieces on each ±Y side, a total of 6 pieces); the south and north plate heat pipe brackets 11 are respectively installed on the +X side non-heat dissipation area cabin plates of the south plate 5 and the north plate 6 (3 pieces on each south and north plates, a total of 6 pieces); the 4 heat pipes 9 are supported and fixed on the +X side inside the load cabin through the middle partition heat pipe bracket 10, the south and north plate heat pipe brackets 11 and the clamps 12; one end of the heat pipe 9 is connected to the heat collecting plate, and the other end is connected to the camera heat dissipation surface 101, and the heat pipe 9 is fixed to the heat collecting plate and the camera heat dissipation surface 101 by the clamps 12.
[0048] Before installation, the heat pipe 9 is coated with multiple layers of insulation material, and a heating plate and a thermistor are installed at appropriate positions; the connection area between the heat pipe 9 and the heat collecting plate and the camera heat dissipation surface 101 is coated with thermal conductive silicone to improve the thermal conductivity of the heat pipe 9, the heat collecting plate and the load compartment plate.
[0049] The middle partition heat pipe bracket 10 and the middle partition 2 are insulated by polyimide insulation gaskets; the north and south plate heat pipe brackets 11 and the south plate 5 and the north plate 6 are insulated by polyimide insulation gaskets; the space camera and the floor 1 are insulated by titanium alloy insulation gaskets to minimize the impact of the payload cabin on the camera temperature.
[0050] A pair of U-shaped heat pipes are embedded in the camera heat dissipation surfaces 101 of the south plate 5 and the north plate 6, and the heat pipes 9 and the U-shaped heat pipes form an orthogonal heat pipe network; in order to reduce the influence of the satellite heat dissipation surface on the camera heat dissipation surface 101, the camera heat dissipation surface 101 is expanded outward along the -Z and -X directions within a proper distance range without embedded heat pipes of the whole satellite; in order to prevent the internal temperature of the camera from being too low when the camera is not working or the external heat flow on the camera heat dissipation surface 101 is small, a certain number of compensating heating circuits are pasted on the heat pipes 9 connecting the north and south heat dissipation surfaces.
[0051] OSR sheets are pasted on the outer surfaces of the south plate 5 and the north plate 6 facing the space, and the camera heat dissipation surface 101 facing the cabin is covered with multiple layers of heat insulation materials.
[0052] Through the heat dissipation design and high-precision temperature control of the camera heat dissipation surface 101, a heat dissipation capacity of 130W of the heat source in the camera can be achieved, ensuring that the on-orbit operating temperature of the electronic equipment in the camera meets the requirements.
[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, 4 groups of reinforcing joints 102 are arranged at the corner points of the notch of the cross support structure composed of the middle partition 2, the east partition 3, and the west partition 4. The reinforcing joints 102 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which has high strength and is easy to machine. Two layers of carbon fiber reinforcement plies 103 (4 groups in total) are attached to the partition in the area covered by the reinforcing joints 102 to disperse the load transfer to the partition and reduce the concentrated stress. Two threaded holes 104 (8 in total) are provided on the upper end surface of each group of reinforcing joints 102, which together with the outer circle threaded holes of the circular opening on the counter plate 1 constitute a camera installation interface. The camera installation interface on the counter plate 1 is a boss, which is 2mm higher than the cabin plate, which is convenient for overall machining and can achieve a flatness of the camera installation surface of no more than 0.2mm.
[0054] Through structural optimization design, the load compartment's carrying capacity can reach about 400kg.
[0055] like Figure 6As shown in the figure, the middle partition heat pipe support 10 is in a "⊥" shape. There are 3 mounting holes on the docking surface with the heat pipe 9 for installing the clamp 12. There are reinforcing ribs on the opposite side to improve the stiffness. There are 4 waist-shaped holes on the bottom surface for connecting with the middle partition 2; the north-south plate heat pipe support 11 is in a "Ⅱ" shape.

There are 4 waist-shaped holes on the bottom surface for connecting with the south plate 5 and the north plate 6; the clamp 12 is composed of two "ㄥ" shapes connected in series. There are 3 waist-shaped holes for pressing the heat pipe 9.
[0056] The heat pipe 9 can be finely adjusted in position in all directions in the cabin through the waist-shaped holes of the support and the clamp, avoiding the influence of the processing and assembly errors of the cabin plates on the assembly of the heat pipe 9, and ensuring good fit between the heat pipe 9 and the heat collection plate and the camera heat dissipation surface 101.
[0057] When the equipment in the payload cabin is assembled, open the east plate 7 and the west plate 8 to form an open operation space. There is no need to rely on the traditional cage tooling for support. Based on the main load-bearing structure, install the instrument equipment and cables on the inner surfaces of the south plate 5, the north plate 6 and the top plate 1. The operation space of the payload cabin is more than 800 mm, and the structure is open, which is convenient for the assembly operation.
[0058] The payload cabin of the present invention uses mature raw materials. The floor 1, the middle partition 2, the east partition 3, the west partition 4, the east plate 7 and the west plate 8 are carbon fiber skin honeycomb sandwich panels, which have high load-bearing capacity and good thermal stability, and can avoid the influence of the deformation of the cabin plates under the space external heat flux environment on the camera structure, and further affect the imaging quality; the south plate 5 and the north plate 6 are aluminum alloy skin honeycomb sandwich panels, meeting the requirements of equipment installation and heat dissipation; the middle partition heat pipe support 10, the north-south plate heat pipe support 11 and the clamp 12 are made of aluminum alloy materials, which are light in weight and convenient for machining.
[0059] As Figure 4 、 6 shown in the figure, the steps for docking the payload cabin of the present invention with the space camera are as follows:

[0061] Step 2: Install the middle partition heat pipe supports 10 (3 pieces on each of the ±Y sides) and the north-south plate heat pipe supports 11 (3 pieces on each of the north and south plates) at the specified positions on the middle partition 2, the south plate 5 and the north plate 6. Install polyimide thermal insulation gaskets between the heat pipe supports and the cabin plates;
[0062] Step 3: Install the heat pipes 9 on the middle partition heat pipe supports 10 and the north-south plate heat pipe supports 11 respectively, and preliminarily fix them through the clamps 12;
[0063] Step 4: Fix the heat pipe 9 to the camera heat dissipation surface 101 through the clamp 12, adjust the heat pipe to fit well with the heat dissipation surface, and apply thermal conductive silicone to the connection area;
[0064] Step 5: Arrange the multi-layer insulation material of the heat pipe 9, and weld the heating plate and thermistor leads on the heat pipe to the corresponding cables on the satellite;
[0065] Step six, measuring the distance between the mounting end surface of the heat collecting plate on the heat conducting tube 9 and the mounting surface of the space camera on the base plate 1, so as to adjust the distance between the heat collecting plate of the space camera and the mounting flange;
[0066] Step 7: Install four guide rods at four quadrants on the camera installation surface of the base plate 1;
[0067] Step 8: Lift the camera above the opening to the floor 1, and after passing through the guide rod, slowly lower the camera along the guide rod to below the opening to the floor 1. During the descent, observe the gap between the camera heat collecting plate and the heat pipe 9. The waist-shaped hole of the heat pipe bracket and the adjustable deformation of the heat pipe itself can be used to ensure that the gap between the heat pipe 9 and the heat collecting plate meets the requirements.
[0068] Step nine: After the heat pipe gap meets the requirements, the heat pipe 9 is fixed on the heat collecting plate through the clamp 12, and the connection area between the heat collecting plate and the heat pipe is coated with thermal conductive silicone;
[0069] Step 10, after the space camera is installed, remove the guide rods and the hanger, connect the camera to the external connector onboard cable, use multi-layer insulation material to seal the camera heat pipe installation port and the external connector installation port, and restore the installation of East Plate 7.
