Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of measurement and testing technology, and in particular to a gravity unloading hanging beam tooling of a satellite deployable structure. Background Art

[0002] The deployable solar wing / deployable antenna on the satellite is connected to the satellite through the deployment mechanism. During the satellite AIT stage (assembly, testing, and experimentation), the deployment mechanism needs to be tested multiple times to verify the deployment accuracy and mechanical environment adaptability of the deployment mechanism. Generally, the base structure of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna adopts a flat plate structure, that is, it has a large surface-to-thickness ratio (the thickness H dimension is much smaller than the length L and width B dimensions), and other accessories are installed on the front and back of the base structure.

[0003] Since there is no influence of gravity in space, gravity factors are not considered when designing the driving force of the deployment mechanism. Under the condition that the driving static moment margin is greater than 1, the driving force should not be too large to reduce the impact when it is deployed.

[0004] However, there is the influence of gravity on the ground. When the mass of the unfolded solar wing / deployable antenna installed at the rotating end of the unfolding mechanism is small, gravity can be ignored and the unfolding mechanism unfolds directly; when the mass of the unfolded solar wing / deployable antenna installed at the rotating end of the unfolding mechanism is large, the influence of gravity cannot be ignored. Gravity will produce a torque on the rotating shaft of the unfolding mechanism. In this state, it will cause the unfolding to fail or will affect or even damage the accuracy and smoothness of the unfolding mechanism. It is necessary to gravity unload the unfoldable solar wing / deployable antenna to simulate the weightlessness in space as much as possible. The usual practice is to make the unfolding mechanism rotating shaft of the unfoldable solar wing / deployable antenna perpendicular to the ground, and the center of gravity position of the unfoldable solar wing / deployable antenna will not change from the rotating shaft of the unfolding mechanism. At the same time, the upper part of the unfoldable solar wing / deployable antenna unloads gravity through the suspension system (the suspension force is equal to gravity). In this way, the unfoldable solar wing / deployable antenna is in a zero gravity state during the entire unfolding process, which can better protect the unfolding mechanism.

[0005] In order to unload the gravity of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna, the suspension system needs to pass the center of mass of the equipment. The greater the deviation, the greater the additional torque generated, and the greater the damage to the deployment mechanism. When designing the structure of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna substrate, multiple suspension point interfaces will be reserved. The suspension point interfaces are generally geometrically symmetrical to facilitate the subsequent lifting and maintain a stable state. Multiple suspension point interfaces will be transferred to the suspension system through the hanging beam tooling. However, since various accessories, cables, glue, etc. will be installed on the front and back of the substrate structure of the actual finished product, the center of mass position of the finished product will deviate from the design state. Therefore, the hanging beam tooling needs to have a position adjustable function. According to the actual center of mass position of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna, the suspension force of the suspension system is adjusted to pass through the center of mass.

When the adjustment frame 41 is fixed to the beam bracket 1, the relative position of the longitudinal fine-tuning screw 42 on the adjustment frame 41 is changed, and the position of the lateral adjustment block 51 on the beam bracket 1 is also changed accordingly, which plays a role in fine-tuning the longitudinal position.

[0075] Fig.11 The diagram is a schematic diagram of the adjustment process of the longitudinal adjustment component 4 and the transverse adjustment component 5. The first step is to roughly adjust the suspension component 3, the longitudinal adjustment component 4, and the transverse adjustment component 5 to the approximate position on the suspension beam bracket 1; the second step is to tighten and fix the adjustment frame 41 to the suspension beam bracket 1 by screws and washers; the third step is to change the relative position of the longitudinal fine adjustment screw 42 on the adjustment frame 41 to adjust the position of the transverse adjustment block 51 on the suspension beam bracket 1, and the suspension component 3 also changes with the position change of the transverse adjustment block 51. After the adjustment is in place, two set screws 52 are screwed into the transverse adjustment block 51 to fix the transverse adjustment block 51 on the suspension beam bracket 1; the fourth step is to adjust the position of the two transverse fine adjustment screws 54 on the transverse adjustment frame 53 to accurately adjust the position of the suspension point connection block 32 on the transverse adjustment block 51 in the transverse direction. When the adjustment is in place, the suspension point connection block 32 is screwed to the clamping plate 35 at the lower end by two screws to clamp the suspension beam bracket 1, thereby fixing the suspension point connection block 32 on the suspension beam bracket 1. At this point, the longitudinal and lateral fine-tuning process is completed.

[0076] Specific implementation method:

[0077] The actual center of mass position of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna product is first obtained through quality measurement, and one end of the four studs 21 is screwed into the reserved hanging point hole on the substrate structure, and torque is applied to prevent loosening. The other end passes through the washer 22 in the hole of the hanging beam bracket 1 and is fixed by a nut, and the hanging beam bracket 1 and the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna are fastened together. The suspension component 3, the longitudinal adjustment component 4, and the transverse adjustment component 5 are combined on the hanging beam bracket 1, and all the set screws are in an untightened state. The position of the transverse adjustment block 51 on the beam bracket 1 is manually adjusted to roughly above the center of mass position of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna. At this time, the longitudinal adjustment frame 41 is tightened and fixed to the hanging beam bracket 1 with screws and gaskets. After the rough adjustment, the longitudinal fine adjustment and transverse fine adjustment stages are entered. The position of the transverse adjustment block 51 on the suspension beam bracket 1 is adjusted by changing the relative position of the longitudinal fine-tuning screw 42 on the adjustment frame 41. The suspension assembly 3 also changes with the position change of the transverse adjustment block 51. After the center of mass of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna is accurately adjusted to the longitudinal position, two set screws 52 are screwed into the transverse adjustment block 51 to fix the transverse adjustment block 51 on the suspension beam bracket 1, and the longitudinal fine-tuning is completed. The positions of the two transverse fine-tuning screws 42 on the transverse adjustment frame 53 are adjusted to accurately adjust the position of the suspension point connection block 32 on the transverse adjustment block 51 in the transverse direction. When the center of mass of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna is adjusted to the transverse position, the suspension point connection block 32 is screwed to the pressing plate 35 at the lower end by two screws to press the suspension beam bracket 1, which plays the role of fixing the suspension point connection block 32 on the suspension beam bracket 1, and the transverse fine-tuning is completed. At this point, the suspension force of the zero-gravity suspension system can be accurately adjusted to the center of mass position of the deployable solar wing / deployable antenna through the adjustment of the suspension beam assembly.
