Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the configuration and layout design of spacecraft, and more specifically, to a distributed control moment gyroscope group installation device. Background Technology

[0002] A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is an actuator widely used in high-resolution observation satellites. It generates a reaction torque by changing the direction of the angular momentum vector of a high-speed rotor. However, while generating a large torque, internal imbalances or noise within the CMG can cause vibrations in the satellite structure, making the CMG a significant source of vibration disturbance on the satellite. Currently, the installation method for control moment gyroscope clusters is relatively simple, employing a centralized, integrated installation. The main problem with this method is poor heat dissipation, which fails to meet the thermal environment requirements of the moment gyroscope.

[0003] A search of existing technologies revealed Chinese invention patent publication number CN1974326, which discloses an integrated magnetic levitation control torque gyroscope control platform. This platform provides integrated control of a magnetic levitation control torque gyroscope system and primarily comprises an application layer, a system layer, a fieldbus, and a control layer. The application layer, built upon the system layer, mainly performs signal data acquisition, complex algorithm calculations, and monitoring functions, including a status acquisition module, a monitoring module, a communication module, and a human-machine interface module. This patent addresses the aforementioned issues and is applicable to integrated magnetic levitation control torque gyroscope control platforms. This patent primarily focuses on the integrated control of magnetic levitation control torque gyroscope systems.

[0004] A search of existing technologies revealed Chinese invention patent publication number CN103603916B, which discloses a vibration isolation device for a control moment gyroscope. This device includes at least one upper platform, at least one vibration isolation component, and at least one lower platform, wherein the vibration isolation component is fixed between the upper and lower platforms. The vibration isolation component includes a housing element, a vibration isolation spring, a first limiting sleeve, a second limiting sleeve, a first base, a second base, and four sets of damping elements. The vibration isolation spring is disposed on the housing element. The first limiting sleeve, the first base, and the housing element form a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The second limiting sleeve, the second base, and the housing element form a third housing portion and a fourth housing portion. The four sets of damping elements are respectively disposed in the first, second, third, and fourth housing portions. This patented technology suffers from the aforementioned problems, specifically concerning the design of the control moment gyroscope vibration isolation device itself. It exhibits poor heat dissipation and fails to meet the thermal environment requirements of the moment gyroscope.

[0027] Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of a distributed control torque gyroscope group device, including a micro-vibration suppression bracket 1, control torque gyroscope components 2, and torque gyroscope mounting plates 4. Multiple micro-vibration suppression brackets 1 are provided, and the torque gyroscope mounting plates 4 provide mounting interfaces for the micro-vibration suppression brackets 1. Multiple micro-vibration suppression brackets are mounted on the torque gyroscope mounting plates 4 through these mounting interfaces. Multiple control torque gyroscope components 2 are provided, and the micro-vibration suppression brackets 1 provide interfaces for them. The micro-vibration suppression brackets 1 suppress the interference of the micro-vibration response of the control torque gyroscope components 2 on sensitive loads. Multiple control torque gyroscope components 2 are correspondingly mounted on multiple micro-vibration suppression brackets 1 through their interfaces.

[0030] A partition 3 is fixedly installed on the torque gyroscope mounting plate 4. The partition 3 provides operating space for the control torque gyroscope component 2. Multiple partitions 3 are provided, and each partition 3 is positioned between adjacent control torque gyroscope components 2. Figure 4The diagram shows the structure of partition 3. Partition 3 uses an M55J-6K carbon fiber frame and has a hollow structure. The base material of the frame is Ag80. The frame is laid up manually with pre-impregnated non-woven fabric. The layup is quasi-isotropic, and the layers are cured by heating and pressurizing in an autoclave. The required precision is ensured by machining.

[0031] A slot 41 is formed on the torque gyroscope mounting plate 4. The slot 41 has a circular cross-section, and multiple control torque gyroscopes 2 are arranged circumferentially around the slot 41 on the torque gyroscope mounting plate 4. The torque gyroscope mounting plate 4 is a sandwich panel made of aluminum alloy panel and honeycomb core. The thickness of the sandwich panel is 30 mm, the thickness of the panel is 0.3 mm, the honeycomb core is aluminum honeycomb core material, the wall thickness of the honeycomb core is 0.03 mm, the cell side length of the honeycomb core is 5 mm, and the honeycomb core is bonded to the panel with J47 adhesive film, the thickness of which is 0.1 mm. The torque gyroscope mounting plate 4 provides an interface for the control torque gyroscopes 2 and suppresses the interference of the micro-vibration response of the control torque gyroscopes 2 on sensitive loads.

[0032] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the micro-vibration suppression bracket 1. The micro-vibration suppression bracket 1 includes a first end face and a second end face. The first end face is fixedly mounted on the torque gyroscope mounting plate 4. One end of the first end face is fixedly mounted to one end of the second end face. The second end face is inclinedly mounted on the first end face. The control torque gyroscope 2 is mounted on the second end face. In this embodiment, the second end face is inclined at an angle of 63.43° above the first end face.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the micro-vibration suppression bracket 1 also includes eight sets of vibration isolation components and four sets of unlocking components. During the launch phase, the unlocking components secure the control moment gyroscope 2 to the micro-vibration suppression bracket 1 to ensure stiffness requirements and that the control moment gyroscope 2 meets the active phase response requirements. During the on-orbit flight phase, a remote unlocking command is sent according to the flight procedure. After the unlocking components unlock, the control moment gyroscope 2 is connected to the micro-vibration suppression bracket 1 only through the vibration isolation components. The vibration isolation components then begin to work, suppressing the transmission of micro-vibrations of the control moment gyroscope 2 to the satellite and sensitive loads, thus ensuring the micro-vibration working environment of the sensitive loads.

There are five control torque gyroscope components 2, including a first torque gyroscope 5, a second torque gyroscope 6, a third torque gyroscope 7, a fourth torque gyroscope 8, and a fifth torque gyroscope 9. The fourth torque gyroscope 8, the second torque gyroscope 6, the fifth torque gyroscope 9, the first torque gyroscope 5, and the third torque gyroscope 7 are arranged circumferentially around the slot 41 in sequence.

Similarly, the centerlines of the second torque gyroscope 6 and the third torque gyroscope 7, the third torque gyroscope 7 and the fourth torque gyroscope 8, and the fourth torque gyroscope 8 and the fifth torque gyroscope 9 all form an angle of 72° on the projection plane.
