Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of space remote sensing technology, and more specifically to a support structure for the primary and secondary mirrors of a high-resolution coaxial space camera. Background Technology

[0002] Coaxial space cameras are small and lightweight, and are often used in optoelectronic payloads of micro and nano satellites. However, due to size and weight limitations, their spatial resolution is generally above the meter level. To improve the ground pixel resolution of micro and nano satellite remote sensing cameras and achieve sub-meter level imaging, long focal length and large aperture coaxial three-mirror optical systems are typically used. This results in a relatively long distance between the primary and secondary mirrors, making it difficult to guarantee positional accuracy, leading to lower resonant frequencies, poor stability, and high obstruction ratios. The support structure between the primary and secondary mirrors, as the main support structure of the space camera, provides the interface for the installation and positioning of each mirror assembly. It needs to ensure that the relative positional accuracy and surface accuracy of the optical elements remain unchanged under the harsh mechanical environment of temperature changes, launch, and on-orbit operation. Compared to the optical elements, the primary and secondary mirror support structure accounts for a large proportion of the total weight of the camera. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring high rigidity and high stability, ultra-lightweight optimization design is one of the key technologies in the development of space cameras.

[0003] The main support forms for primary and secondary mirrors in coaxial space cameras include strut type, thin-walled load-bearing cylinder type, and truss type. Stirrup type has advantages such as simplicity, ease of assembly and adjustment, and light weight, and is widely used in space cameras requiring high lightweight designs. However, its stability is relatively poor, and it is more commonly used in space cameras with small apertures and small distances between primary and secondary mirrors. Thin-walled cylinder structure has high rigidity, high stability, and ease of processing and inspection, but it is relatively heavy. Truss structure is widely used in space cameras, offering advantages such as high rigidity, flexible assembly, light weight, and strong design flexibility, which can reduce manufacturing difficulty. Currently, it often adopts a modular structure, requiring multiple parts to be assembled individually, which can easily introduce assembly stress, and the disassembly and assembly process is relatively complex.

[0004] To address the technical challenges posed by the large distance between primary and secondary mirrors in existing primary and secondary mirror support structures, such as poor stability, low fundamental frequency, large mass, and complex manufacturing and assembly processes, a high-resolution coaxial space camera primary and secondary mirror support structure is proposed. This device balances high rigidity, high stability, and ultra-lightweight requirements, employing a long-distance carbon fiber composite variable cross-section hollow cross-shaped primary and secondary mirror support structure. The integrated and optimized design of the primary and secondary mirror support structure simplifies the assembly and adjustment process, ensuring positional accuracy and surface shape accuracy between the primary and secondary mirrors, thus meeting the high rigidity, high stability, low obstruction, and ultra-lightweight requirements of high-resolution space cameras for their primary and secondary mirror support structures.

[0007] Furthermore, the stabilizing primary reflector mechanism includes three flexible hinges that are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top central axis of the primary reflector back plate. The outer wall of the top end of the flexible hinge is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom central axis of the primary reflector mount.

[0008] Furthermore, the stabilizing secondary mirror mechanism includes three secondary mirror supports that are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the secondary mirror support connecting ring. The inner walls of the three secondary mirror supports are fixedly connected to secondary mirror bases.

A secondary mirror flexible support is fixedly connected to the bottom of the secondary mirror base. A secondary mirror is fixedly connected to the top central axis of the secondary mirror flexible support.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a limiting shell fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the heat dissipation plate, an antimony block fixedly connected to the left end of the top of the inner wall of the limiting shell, the left wall of the antimony block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the heat dissipation plate, and a connecting plate fixedly connected to the central axis at the bottom of the right wall of the antimony block.

[0010] Furthermore, the bending mechanism includes a fixed rod fixedly connected to the central axis of the inner wall of the connecting plate, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the central axis of the outer wall of the fixed rod, and a connecting rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the rotating plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] (1) The high-resolution coaxial space camera primary and secondary mirror support structure adopts a variable cross-section hollow structure. The carbon fiber material is optimized according to the stress to achieve the requirements of ultra-lightweight and high rigidity of the space remote sensing camera. The primary and secondary mirror support truss adopts a concentric circle structure with the primary mirror, so that the imaging light reaching the primary mirror is not blocked by the support structure between the primary and secondary mirrors. The structure is compact and the outer envelope size is small. The secondary mirror support rod has a thin wall, which minimizes the obstruction of incident light and meets the requirements of high stability and low obstruction of the main support structure of the high-resolution space camera.

[0015] (2) The high-resolution coaxial space camera primary and secondary mirror support structure is manufactured in one piece using carbon fiber composite material, which simplifies the assembly and debugging process, shortens the installation time, improves the development efficiency, ensures the positional accuracy between the primary and secondary mirrors, and improves the stability of the support structure. The tilt angle difference between the primary and secondary mirrors is less than 5 seconds, and the change in the distance between the primary and secondary mirrors is better than 1μm under the temperature fluctuation condition of 20±4℃. The first-order frequency of the overall structure is better than 90Hz, which is higher than the target requirement of 80Hz.

[0016] (3) When the high-resolution coaxial space camera primary and secondary mirror support structure starts working, it generates heat energy. The heat dissipation plate absorbs the heat energy, and the antimony block connected to it will contract due to the heat energy and expand due to the low temperature in space. At this time, the heat dissipation stabilization mechanism and the bending mechanism are hinged, so that the connected rising plate can reciprocate. The fixed plate connected to it can stabilize the variable cross section support bracket in this process, thereby enhancing the stability of the space camera primary and secondary mirror support structure and improving its service life. It will not cause damage to parts due to overheating.

[0017] (4) When the high-resolution coaxial space camera primary and secondary mirror support structure starts working, the heat generated causes the antimony plate located on the top of the heat sink to contract, and the sponge connected to it can also expand outward, freeing the fixation of the secondary mirror flexible support so that it will not hinder the operation of the space camera. When the operation stops, the antimony plate expands due to the low temperature in space, and the sponge is squeezed inward. In this process, the stability effect of the secondary mirror flexible support is enhanced, and the secondary mirror flexible support is cleaned. Attached Figure Description

[0041] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0042] The support structure for the primary and secondary mirrors 13 adopts a variable cross-section hollow structure. The carbon fiber material is optimized according to the stress to achieve the requirements of ultra-lightweight and high rigidity for the space remote sensing camera. The support truss of the primary and secondary mirrors 13 adopts a concentric circle structure with the primary mirror, so the imaging light reaching the primary reflector 22 is not obstructed by the support structure between the primary and secondary mirrors 13. The structure is compact with a small outer envelope size.

The first-order frequency of the overall structure is better than 90Hz, which is higher than the required 80Hz.

[0044] When the machine starts working, it generates heat. The heat sink 2 absorbs the heat, and the antimony block 51 connected to it contracts due to the heat and expands due to the low temperature in space. At this time, the heat dissipation stabilization mechanism 206 and the bending mechanism 204 are hinged, so that the connected rising plate 44 can reciprocate. The fixed plate 42 connected to it can stabilize the variable cross-section support frame 5 during this process, thereby enhancing the stability of the support structure of the space camera primary and secondary mirrors 13, and also improving the service life, preventing parts from being damaged due to overheating.

[0045] When the camera starts working, the heat generated causes the antimony plate 8 on top of the heat sink 2 to contract, and the sponge 41 connected to it can also expand outward, freeing the flexible support 21 of the secondary mirror 13 from being fixed and preventing it from hindering the operation of the space camera. When the camera stops working, the low temperature in space causes the antimony plate 8 to expand, and the sponge 41 to be squeezed inward. In this process, the stability of the flexible support of the secondary mirror 13 is enhanced, and the flexible support 21 of the secondary mirror 13 is cleaned.
