Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of large reflector antenna technology, specifically relating to a reflector antenna actuator layout method based on optimal fitting accuracy. Background Technology
[0002] Large reflector antennas have been widely used in radio astronomy and deep space exploration due to their advantages such as simple structure, high gain, and narrow beamwidth. As reflector antennas operate at high frequencies, the requirements for reflector surface precision are becoming increasingly stringent. However, large-aperture reflector antennas experience significant gravitational deformation, and the reflector surface is also subject to external loads such as temperature and wind, making it difficult to meet surface precision requirements. Therefore, deformation of the reflector surface leads to a considerable deterioration in its electromagnetic performance.
[0003] To improve the surface accuracy of large reflector antennas, an active primary reflector antenna is typically constructed by mounting four actuators at the four corners of the panel. For example, the 100m x 110m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in a certain country has 2004 panels supported by 2209 actuators; the 65m Tianma Telescope in Shanghai has 1008 panels supported by 1104 actuators. These antennas can slightly alter the shape of the reflector by adjusting the actuators mounted on the panels to improve the surface accuracy under the influence of gravity and environmental factors. A common feature of these antennas is that all panels of the reflector are active panels, each equipped with an actuator, resulting in a large number of actuators and high cost. To address the above issues, assuming a traditional non-active reflector antenna has a surface accuracy of 0.5mm, using an active reflector can improve the surface accuracy to 0.1mm. If the required surface accuracy is 0.2mm, the traditional reflector cannot meet the accuracy requirement, and an active reflector with an accuracy of 0.1mm must be used in engineering. Therefore, the actual accuracy sometimes exceeds the required accuracy, resulting in surface accuracy overshoot and making the cost of the active reflector antenna higher.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a method for the layout of reflector antenna actuators based on the best fitting accuracy, so as to solve the problems of excessive surface accuracy interference, large number of actuators, and high cost caused by the full arrangement of actuators in reflector antennas. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention provides a reflector antenna actuator layout method based on optimal fitting accuracy. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for arranging reflector antenna actuators based on optimal fitting accuracy, comprising:
[0007] Based on the finite element model of the reflector antenna, the average value of the reflector deformation under the upward and horizontal conditions is obtained, and the reflector deformation at different elevation angles is pre-adjusted to obtain the pre-adjusted deformed reflector.
[0008] The pre-adjusted deformed reflective surface is translated and rotated to obtain the best approximation of the ideal reflective surface, and the best fitting axial error distribution of the best approximation of the ideal reflective surface to the ideal reflective surface is obtained at different pitch angles.
[0009] The maximum error distribution range is obtained based on the best-fit axial error distribution;
[0010] By comparing the preset error threshold with the maximum error distribution range, the layout scheme of the actuator corresponding to the reflective surface is determined.
[0011] Based on the actuator layout scheme, determine the adjustment target surface when the reflector antenna is in the upward-facing condition. Based on the adjustment target surface and the ideal reflector surface, obtain the adjustment amount of the actuator when the reflector antenna is in the upward-facing condition.
[0012] Based on the adjustment amount of the actuator and the finite element model, the adjustment accuracy of the reflector antenna when it is in the upward-facing condition is obtained.
[0013] Update the preset error threshold and the corresponding adjustment accuracy until the curve of the adjustment accuracy changing with the preset error threshold under all working conditions is obtained.
[0014] Based on the required adjustment accuracy for the project, the corresponding critical error value is obtained on the curve, and the layout scheme of the actuator is obtained based on the critical error value.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0016] 1. The present invention provides a method for arranging actuators for a reflector antenna based on the best fitting accuracy. It utilizes the pre-adjusted deformable reflector to best approximate the ideal reflector. According to the maximum error range of the best fitting axial error distribution under different working conditions, actuators are arranged if the error exceeds the critical value, otherwise no actuators are arranged. The reflector is divided into two regions, A and B, which solves the problems of too many actuators and high cost caused by arranging actuators on the entire reflector panel.
[0017] 2. The present invention provides a method for arranging actuators for a reflector antenna based on optimal fitting accuracy. In order to further improve the surface accuracy of the reflector, after dividing the reflector panel into two regions, A and B, the region B, where no actuators are arranged, is once again optimally approximated to the ideal reflector. The difference from the above is that the nodes are changed to nodes where no actuators are arranged, so that region B is as close to the ideal reflector as possible, while region A can adjust the deformed panel to the ideal reflector through the actuators on the panel.
[0018] 3. The present invention provides a method for the layout of reflector antenna actuators based on the best fitting accuracy. By changing the error critical value, the corresponding reflector surface accuracy can be calculated, and the curve of the reflector surface accuracy changing with the error critical value can be plotted. In engineering, the error critical value can be quickly determined according to the surface accuracy requirements, and then the optimal actuator layout scheme under the reflector adjustment accuracy requirements can be determined.

[0086] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the effectiveness of the reflector antenna actuator layout method provided in the above embodiment of the present invention is verified by simulation experiments, specifically as follows:
[0087] I. Simulation Object
[0088] The method provided by this invention is verified through an example using a dual-reflector antenna with an aperture of 35m and a focal length of 10.8m. The finite element model of this reflector antenna is as follows: Figure 3As shown, it consists of a main reflector, a secondary reflector, reinforcing ribs, a back frame, a central body, secondary support legs, and a base frame. The main and secondary reflectors are made of aluminum shells, while the reinforcing ribs, back frame, central body, secondary support legs, and base frame are made of steel beam structures.
[0089] Under gravitational load, the reflector antenna will undergo structural deformation, requiring pre-adjustment. After panel pre-adjustment, the optimal fitting accuracy of this 35m reflector antenna when pointing towards the sky and horizontally is 0.39mm. The optimal approximation process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. To further improve surface accuracy, actuators need to be installed on the reflective panel. Based on the required surface accuracy specifications, and in conjunction with this invention, an optimal actuator layout design scheme is provided.

Assuming a surface accuracy requirement of 0.1mm, after multiple calculations, it was finally found that when the error reaches a critical value... When the thickness is 0.57mm, the number of actuators is minimized, and the surface accuracy requirements of the reflective surface are met. The final actuator layout scheme is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the reflective surface is divided into two regions, A and B. Region A has actuators, so the panel can be adjusted; region B has no actuators, so the panel cannot be adjusted. Based on the actuator layout scheme, using... Figure 6 The process of adjusting the reflective surface shown is to improve its surface accuracy. A non-active panel is used to optimally approximate the ideal reflective surface. The non-active panel in region B is kept stationary, and then the active panel in region A is adjusted to meet the surface accuracy requirements of the reflective surface. After adjustment of the active panel, the final surface error cloud maps of the reflective surface under the conditions of looking up (a) and pointing to the ground (b) are shown below. Figure 7 As shown. Furthermore, under five different elevation angles, the error critical values of 0.3mm, 0.5mm, and 0.7mm were analyzed. The curves showing the change in reflector adjustment accuracy with the error critical value obtained using the method provided by this invention are shown below. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the surface accuracy of the two is the worst and coincides when the pitch angle is 0° and 90°. Therefore, in engineering, the error critical value under the surface accuracy requirement can be quickly determined according to the change curve when the pitch angle is 0° or 90°, and then the optimal actuator layout scheme can be determined.
