Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of antennas, and in particular to a pyramid shear-hinged unit hybrid array type single-degree-of-freedom double-layer peripheral truss foldable antenna. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of my country's aerospace industry, the technology in the aerospace field is also constantly breaking through, and satellite-borne antennas as transmission tools are also receiving more attention. An important application direction of space deployable mechanisms in the aerospace field is to serve as a support and deployment mechanism for satellite-borne large-aperture antennas. The foldable antenna is a type of deployable antenna with the best comprehensive performance in terms of surface accuracy and deployment rate among all types of deployable antennas. With the continuous development of modern science and technology, space deployable antennas are also developing in the direction of high precision, large aperture and light weight. Therefore, the foldable antenna is the main research and development object at present and in the future for a long time.
[0003] At present, the theoretical research on the space deployable antenna mechanism has made certain progress. In developed countries such as the United States, Germany, Russia, and Japan, various types of antennas have been put into orbit. In view of its huge application value and complex technical difficulty, the development level of large space deployable antennas has become an important indicator for measuring the development of aerospace industry in various countries. The National Development and Reform Commission's "Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan for National Civilian Space Infrastructure (2015-2025)" clearly states in "Looking to the future, aiming at international cutting-edge technologies, and focusing on key bottlenecks that restrict development": Develop advanced payloads such as large antennas to comprehensively improve satellite performance.
[0004] The peripheral truss foldable antenna is composed of front and rear cable nets for providing tension, a retractable support mechanism, and a metal reflective surface. The retractable support mechanism determines the caliber of the antenna, and the tension of the front and rear cable nets effectively ensures the overall structural rigidity of the antenna. At present, the support mechanism of the peripheral truss antenna mainly uses a scissor-type mechanism, while the foldable mechanism is less used. The foldable mechanism has the advantages of high rigidity, good mechanical properties, high folding and unfolding ratio, good unfolding performance, and high reliability.
