Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aerospace assembly, and in particular to a satellite load assembly method based on photogrammetry for flexible support. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the resolution of optical remote sensing satellites, the requirements for the surface accuracy of satellite optical loads are increasing, and the support structure of the optical load is particularly important to ensure the imaging quality. The support structure of the optical mirror generally plays a role in adjusting the position of the optical load while maintaining the surface accuracy and stability of the optical load. In order to weaken the influence of vibration on the surface accuracy of the optical load, multi-point flexible support is usually used as the support structure of the optical load; the flexible support is usually composed of two main parts, flexible structure and rigid bushing, which provides a certain connection stiffness while resisting assembly errors, gravity deformation and vibration reduction.

[0003] In the process of satellite load assembly, when the load is installed on the flexible support, the load will cause the flexible support to deform due to its own gravity; since the projection position of the load center of gravity in the installation plane and the flexible center of the support structure are usually not coincident, the deformation of the flexible support near the load center of gravity is larger than that of other flexible supports, resulting in eccentric tilt angle of the load after installation, affecting the surface accuracy of the load. And in the process of assembly and adjustment, the traditional contact measurement method has the problems of difficult accurate measurement of the surface accuracy of the flexible support installation surface, low measurement efficiency and small measurement range. The traditional assembly and adjustment measurement method is mainly contact measurement, including joint arm measurement and three-coordinate measurement; in the measurement process, the probe needs to contact the installation surface of the flexible support to calibrate the measurement point position; and when the probe contacts the installation surface of the flexible support, the flexible support will inevitably be forced to elastically deform, affecting the measurement result.

[0004] At present, the existing patents about flexible support are mostly concentrated in the aspect of structure design; from the aspect of invention form, the existing patents are mostly concentrated in the structure design of flexible support of steel material, and less involved in the measurement and assembly method of flexible support; from the aspect of invention content, the existing patents are mostly concentrated in the stiffness and temperature load adaptability of flexible support, and less concerned about the surface accuracy of the installation surface of flexible support.

[0005] For example, the invention patent with publication number CN117741903A, entitled "Detection Device for Assembly Spacing Surface of Reflector Primary Mirror and Method for Assembly Adjustment of Reflector Primary Mirror," relates to a detection device for the assembly spacing surface of a reflector primary mirror and a method for assembly adjustment of the reflector primary mirror. The detection mechanism involved in this patent includes: a primary mirror barrel fixture and a primary mirror flexible joint fixture, used for installing and fixing the primary mirror barrel and the primary mirror flexible joint, respectively; and a displacement sensor and an adjustment mechanism for measuring the reflector installation spacing. The specific implementation method is as follows: the reflector primary mirror is installed on the primary mirror flexible joint; the displacement sensor is installed and fixed on the primary mirror flexible joint fixture to measure the distance between the assembly spacing surface between the primary mirror barrel and the primary mirror flexible joint; the adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the primary mirror to the optimal imaging position by mounting the primary mirror fixture on an adjustment platform. Its advantage is that it simplifies the assembly and adjustment steps and saves assembly and adjustment time compared to traditional methods. Its disadvantages are that high-precision tooling is required for assembly and adjustment; the assembly and adjustment effect needs to be judged based on the imaging clarity of the primary mirror, and the surface accuracy of the assembly and adjustment is difficult to quantify; the assembly and adjustment process requires mirror imaging, which places high demands on the assembly and adjustment environment. Based on the above technical problems, those skilled in the art urgently need a convenient, high-precision, non-contact method for assembling and adjusting satellite payloads for flexible supports.

For flexible support mounting surfaces (131) with large overall offset, adjusting the height of the mounting surface (131) by grinding the gasket or adding a gasket; Reassembling the flexible support (1) with large offset to eliminate the influence of non-linear deformation of the flexible rubber pad (12) caused by uneven stress during assembly; Repeat the above steps S2-S7 until the surface type precision and the relative position of each mounting surface meet the simulation expectations and assembly requirements.
