[0002] Traditional satellites employ a fixed structure between the payload module and the platform module, and energy transfer between the modules does not involve the satellite's entry and exit from the Earth's shadow. The dual-supersatellite platform, however, uses a configuration where the payload module and platform module are separable, with the solar array mounted in the platform module. Therefore, when the spacecraft enters or exits the Earth's shadow, the energy transfer control strategy between the platform module and the payload module has unique requirements that differ from those of traditional satellites.

The optical medium interface section is divided into two types: the first type is the two ends of a cylindrical optically dense medium, and the second type is the upper and lower surfaces of the integrated focusing functional unit with a focusing mirror as the main body. The connection method between the optical medium interfaces is as follows: a cylindrical optically dense medium and an integrated focusing functional unit with a focusing mirror as the main body are connected to form the most basic unit of energy-level light linear transmission.

[0008] However, none of the above patent documents involve a method for switching energy transmission. Therefore, there is a market need for a simple and efficient switching method that has engineering value in ensuring the on-orbit energy safety of spacecraft, based on the judgment of spacecraft entering and leaving the Earth's shadow, for inter-cabin energy switching programmable control. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0057] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the process for determining the ground shadow upon entry and exit and the control flow for switching energy between cabins, as described in this invention.

[0058] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the inter-cabin energy transmission status according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0059] 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.

[0060] This invention uses the entry and exit shadow judgment mark to switch the energy transmission status of the two modules of the spacecraft through a programmable strategy.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] According to the present invention, a method for inter-cabin energy switching based on spacecraft entering and exiting Earth's shadow is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0063] Step S1: Obtain the position information of the spacecraft and the sun. This can be achieved through methods including storing and recursively calculating the spacecraft and sun's position information on the spacecraft's onboard computer.

[0064] Step S2: Calculate the spacecraft's shadow angle and the angle formed by the Sun, Earth, and spacecraft based on the location information and Earth's radius. Step S2 includes:

[0065] Step S2.1: When the spacecraft is in orbit, calculate the Earth's shadow angle as it enters the Earth's shadow region, using the following formula:

[0066]

[0067] In the formula, α Shadow_0 R represents the angle of the Earth's shadow as the spacecraft enters the Earth's shadow region. e The radius r of the Earth is represented by the radius r of the Earth. x r y and r z These represent the distances along the x, y, and z axes of the spacecraft, respectively.

[0068] Step S2.2: While the spacecraft is in orbit, calculate the angle subtended by the Sun, Earth, and spacecraft as currently captured in the image. The formula is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] In the formula, α Shadow_t The angle r represents the subtended angle between the Sun, Earth, and the spacecraft. sunix r suniy and r suniz These represent the distances to the sun along the x, y, and z axes, respectively.

[0071] Step S3: Based on the shadow angle and the subtended angle, determine whether the spacecraft is currently in the shadow. If so, based on the shadow entry flag given by the spacecraft's real-time on-orbit calculation, cut off the power transmission status of the two modules of the spacecraft, and disconnect the power transmission path between the two modules. If not, based on the shadow exit flag given by the spacecraft's real-time on-orbit calculation, and according to the identifiers of the three power distribution states before entering the shadow, restore the power transmission path between the two modules of the spacecraft to the state before it was disconnected.

[0072] Specifically, the two modules of a spacecraft include a platform module and a payload module. For example... Figure 2As shown, the energy transmission status between the two modules includes a wired disconnect device, a wireless power supply device, and a reusable device. The wired disconnect device is a low-frequency cable wired device responsible for power transmission between the two modules. After disconnection, the wired disconnect device is stored between the two modules, and the internal low-frequency cable cannot be reconnected. The wireless power supply device is an electromagnetic conversion wireless device that transmits energy between the two modules through electromagnetic induction in space. The reusable device is a reusable low-frequency cable wired device responsible for power transmission between the two modules, allowing the internal low-frequency cable to be repeatedly switched on and off. The connection states of the three energy transmission paths between the platform module and the payload module—the wired disconnect device, the wireless power supply device, and the reusable device—are mutually exclusive; only one of the three paths can be energized at any given time.

[0073] The process of determining whether the spacecraft is currently in the Earth's shadow includes: continuously judging multiple frames, when α Shadow_t ≥α Shadow_0 At that time, the satellite is determined to be in the Earth's shadow, and the shadow marker DYBZ is set to AA. During the shadow period, all three energy transmission paths between spacecraft modules are set to a completely off state, and the battery packs in the platform module and payload module discharge respectively. Continuous judgment is performed over multiple frames, α Shadow_t <α Shadow_0 At that time, the satellite is determined to be under illumination, and the ground shadow marker DYBZ is set to 55. During illumination periods, the spacecraft's payload module PCDU draws power from the platform module busbar through the power transmission path. When the payload module experiences a short-term high-current load, power is supplied jointly by the platform module busbar and the platform module battery, and the payload module battery does not discharge. Among them, α Shadow_t α represents the angle subtended by the Sun, Earth, and spacecraft. Shadow_0 This indicates the angle of the Earth's shadow when a spacecraft enters the Earth's shadow region.

[0074] Furthermore, the invention will be further illustrated by an example of its implementation in orbit:

[0075] When a spacecraft is flying normally in orbit, the computer on the spacecraft uses the stored spacecraft position and sun position information to calculate the spacecraft's shadow angle and the angle formed by the sun, the earth, and the spacecraft every 0.5 seconds according to the programmed control strategy.

[0076] If the angle formed by the Sun, Earth, and spacecraft is greater than the Earth's shadow angle for three consecutive frames, then the spacecraft is in the Earth's shadow. At this time, the spacecraft computer will set the Earth's shadow marker DYBZ to AA, and at the same time, the three energy transmission paths between the spacecraft modules will be set to a completely disconnected state, and the battery packs of the platform module and the payload module will discharge respectively.

[0077] If the angle formed by the Sun, Earth, and spacecraft is less than the Earth's shadow angle for three consecutive frames, then the spacecraft is under illumination. At this time, the spacecraft computer will set the Earth's shadow marker DYBZ to 55, and the three energy transmission paths between the spacecraft modules will be restored to their state before entering the Earth's shadow. At this time, the spacecraft's payload module PCDU will draw power from the platform module bus through the energy transmission path. When the payload module experiences a short-term high current load, it will be powered by the platform module bus and the platform module battery together, and the payload module battery will not discharge.

[0078] The spacecraft's computer program uses the above strategies to determine when the spacecraft enters or leaves the Earth's shadow and to switch the corresponding inter-cabin energy.

That is, the method based on spacecraft entering and exiting Earth's shadow can be understood as a preferred embodiment of the inter-cabin energy switching system based on spacecraft entering and exiting Earth's shadow.

If so, based on the shadow entry flag calculated in real-time on-orbit, cut off the power transmission status of the two modules of the spacecraft, disconnecting the power transmission path between the two modules. If not, trigger module M4. Specifically, determining whether the spacecraft is currently in the shadow includes: continuously judging multiple times, when α... Shadow_t ≥α Shadow_0 When the satellite is in the Earth's shadow, the shadow marker DYBZ is set to AA. This is repeated for multiple shots. Shadow_t <α Shadow_0 At that time, it was determined that the satellite was under illumination, and the ground shadow marker DYBZ was set to 55. Among them, α Shadow_t α represents the angle subtended by the Sun, Earth, and spacecraft. Shadow_0 This indicates the angle of the Earth's shadow when a spacecraft enters the Earth's shadow region.

[0091] Module M4: Based on the Earth's shadow marker calculated in real-time on-orbit by the spacecraft, and according to the identifiers of the three power distribution states before entering the Earth's shadow, restores the energy transmission path between the two modules of the spacecraft to its state before disconnection. The two modules of the spacecraft include the platform module and the payload module. The energy transmission status of the two modules includes a wired disconnection device, a wireless power device, and a reusable device.

[0092] Specifically, the wired disconnect device is a low-frequency cable wired device responsible for power transmission between the two compartments.

The wireless power device is an electromagnetic conversion wireless device that transmits energy between the two compartments through spatial electromagnetic induction.

The inter-cabin energy switching system based on spacecraft entry / exit from Earth's shadow as described in claim 6, characterized in that, The determination of whether the current spacecraft is in the Earth's shadow includes: Continuous judgment over multiple periods, when α Shadow_t ≥α Shadow_0 At that time, it was determined that the satellite was in the Earth's shadow, and the Earth's shadow marker DYBZ was set to AA; Continuous judgment across multiple frames, α Shadow_t <α Shadow_0 At that time, it was determined that the satellite was under illumination, and the ground shadow marker DYBZ was set to 55; Where, α Shadow_t α represents the angle subtended by the Sun, Earth, and spacecraft. Shadow_0 This indicates the angle of the Earth's shadow when a spacecraft enters the Earth's shadow region.

9. The inter-cabin energy switching system based on spacecraft entry / exit from Earth's shadow as described in claim 6, characterized in that, The spacecraft has two modules, including a platform module and a payload module; the energy transmission status of the two modules includes a wired disconnect device, a wireless power device, and a re-pluggable device. The wired disconnection device is a low-frequency cable wired device responsible for transmitting power between the two compartments. After disconnection, the wired disconnection device is stored between the two compartments, and the internal low-frequency cable cannot be reconnected. The wireless power device is an electromagnetic conversion wireless device that transmits energy between the two cabins via electromagnetic induction in space. The reusable pluggable device is a reusable low-frequency cable wired device that transmits power between the two compartments, enabling the internal low-frequency cable to be repeatedly switched on and off.

10. The inter-cabin energy switching system based on spacecraft entry / exit from Earth's shadow as described in claim 9, characterized in that, The three power transmission paths between the platform compartment and the payload compartment—the wired disconnection device, the wireless power device, and the reusable plug-in device—are mutually exclusive, with only one of the three paths being powered at any given time.
