[0033] Example

[0034] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a semi-physical simulation platform for simulating the reaction torque of a single-board solar wing includes a rigid base 1 and a host computer. The four corners of the bottom of the rigid base 1 are connected to rubber pads by screws. The upper surface of the rigid base 1 is provided with four symmetrically distributed support columns 2. The outer wall of each support column 2 is bolted to a reinforcement frame 3. Only one side of the reinforcement frame 3 is provided with an opening that matches the support column 2. The reinforcement frame 3 is bolted to the rigid base 1. The rigid base 1, the support column 2 and the reinforcement frame 3 together constitute the installation base of the present solution, which ensures that the entire simulation platform maintains high rigidity and high strength, and is not easily affected by resonance. The four support columns 2 are provided with a driving motor 4, a circular grating 5, a torque sensor 6 and a loading motor 7 from bottom to top. The driving motor 4 is used to connect and drive the solar orientation device. The driving motor 4 is electrically connected to a high-stability controller. The high-stability controller is the actual model of the product being tested. The high-stability controller realizes precise and stable control of the driving motor 4 through a limit switch. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor, circular grating 5, torque sensor 6, loading motor 7, driver, and the controller of the loading motor 7 are all electrically connected to the high-stability controller. The data generated in the simulation process is collected through the high-stability controller, and the loading motor 7 is controlled to perform real-time loading simulation, and the angle value measured by the encoder electrically connected to the loading motor 7 is uploaded to the host computer.

[0035] The driving motor 4 is connected to the first placement plate 8 through a flange 11. The center of the first placement plate 8 and the center of the rigid base 1 are both provided with a coaxial through hole 9. The two through holes 9 are used to place the driving motor 4. The four corners of the first placement plate 8 are provided with openings that match the support columns 2. The first placement plate 8 is bolted with multiple support tubes 10. The multiple support tubes 10 are bolted between two adjacent support columns 2. The installation position of the flange 11 on the first placement plate 8 can be adjusted during installation to ensure that the loading motor 7 is coaxially arranged with the driving motor 4 to improve the loading accuracy of the torque. The top of the driving motor 4 is connected to the circular grating 5 through the first coupling flange 12. In this embodiment, the circular grating 5 feeds back the position signal to the high stability controller through the differential RS422 interface. The circular grating 5 is connected between the four support columns 2 through the second placement plate 13 and the support tube 10. The second placement plate 13 is bolted to the support tube 10, and the support tube 10 is bolted between the adjacent support columns 2. The circular grating 5 is connected to the torque sensor 6. The torque sensor 6 is symmetrically provided with L-shaped connecting plates 14. The two connecting plates 14 are bolted together with a support rod, and the support rod is bolted between the two support columns 2 located at the rear side. The input shaft of the torque sensor 6 is connected to the second coupling flange 15. The output shaft of the torque sensor 6 is connected to the circular grating 5. The torque difference between the input shaft and the output shaft is measured and transmitted to the high stability controller through the RS232 interface.

[0036] The second coupling flange 15 is connected to the output shaft of the loading motor 7, and the loading motor 7 is bolted with a third placement plate 16, which is connected between four support columns 2 through multiple support tubes 10, and the third placement plate 16 is bolted to the support tube 10, and the support tube 10 is bolted between adjacent support columns 2. A temperature sensor is provided inside the loading motor 7, and the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the loading motor 7 when it is working; the loading motor 7 is also electrically connected to a driver, and the loading motor 7 receives the torque signal through the driver, and the driver drives the loading motor 7 to perform periodic torque loading to simulate the reaction torque of the solar wing. In this embodiment, the loading motor 7 can be adjusted horizontally on the support tube 10 through the third placement plate 16 and bolts, the torque sensor 6 can be assembled on the support tube 10 for horizontal and vertical adjustment through the connecting plate 14, and the drive motor 4 can be adjusted longitudinally through the first placement plate 8 and the flange 11, and the position adjustment of the loading motor 7 relative to the product to be tested in the two-dimensional direction is achieved through mutual cooperation.

[0037] The host computer is electrically connected to the high-stability controller, and is used to monitor, display and process the data collected by the high-stability controller. In this embodiment, the host computer can implement a real-time distributed control solution, and use the MATLAB interface and API interface to exchange information with the high-stability controller in real time. It is the main operating platform and monitoring platform, and is designed using C#Winform technology. The host computer is used for dynamic modeling and real-time solution of large flexible solar cell wings, and calculates the alternating torque of the flexible load on the high-stability controller in the high vacuum and microgravity environment of space; wherein, the calculation model used by the host computer includes the central rigid body-solar sail panel rotation equation, the solar sail panel vibration equation and the dynamic equation;

[0038] Central rigid body-solar sail panel rotation equation: Where β represents the angular displacement vector of rotation,

[0039] Solar panel vibration equation: In the formula is the moment of inertia matrix of the solar wing, F a =[F a,1 F a,2 …F a,s ] is the vibration coupling matrix, is the modal matrix, ω is the angular velocity, and η represents the generalized modal coordinates of the solar wing

[0040] The kinetic equation is

[0041] Where M is the reaction torque, which is actually the reaction torque of the solar array on the drive motor 4; ξ is the modal damping ratio; Ω is the diagonal matrix of modal frequencies, and Ω 2 =Λ.

[0042] In this embodiment, the loading motor 7 adopts a TDR170-0410-50 DC torque motor and a driver of a CDHD_EtherCAT bus. The loading motor 7 can achieve the reproducibility of the frequency range of 0.04Hz to 5Hz within a rotation angle of ±360°, with a loading amplitude of 1Nm-5Nm, a low-frequency range of 0.04Hz to 1Hz, and a load amplitude deviation of less than 3%; within the frequency range of 1Hz to 5Hz, the load amplitude deviation is less than 10%. The torque sensor 6 adopts a DY-2000 torque sensor, and the output interface is RS232. The torque sensor 6 is connected to the drive motor 4 and the loading motor 7 through a coupling. The DYN-200 torque sensor has an accuracy of 1% FS, and uploads data to a high-stability controller through an RS232 interface, supporting a maximum baud rate of 115200. The circular grating 5 adopts Renishaw RSM20USB115, the matching subdivision box adopts TI20KDA20A, and the reading head adopts T2001-30A. The circular grating 5 is a 24-bit position feedback element, which measures the angle of the output shaft of the loading motor 7 in real time, converts it into angular velocity and angular acceleration through a differential module and outputs it to the high-stability controller. The communication interface is a differential RS422 interface, which is converted into a 3.3V single-ended signal that can be recognized by the high-stability controller through a differential to single-ended circuit for data communication.

[0043] The high-stability controller selects Zynq-7Z020clg-4. The high-stability controller is used to realize dual-loop PID controller and direct torque control. The bandwidth of the outer-loop torque PID controller is higher than that of the inner-loop current PID controller and is 5 times or more. The high-stability controller uses the ZYNQ controller as the core, and realizes the exchange of data and control instructions between each control unit through asynchronous communication serial port, SPI communication interface, GPIO interface, etc. The high-stability controller is directly electrically connected to each sensor and loading motor 7, collects sensor information, and embeds the torque / position control closed loop into the Ucos-III real-time operating system to ensure the real-time performance of the task. The driver of the loading motor 7 selects VCII2-E03-230, the controller of the loading motor 7 selects ECI3428, and the host computer selects CT7GK. During the simulation process, the high-stability controller serves as the main controller. It is first responsible for data acquisition, collecting data information generated by components such as the torque sensor 6, circular grating 5, and temperature sensor during the simulation process. Secondly, it is responsible for controlling the loading motor 7, and realizing the position mode and torque mode servo control of the loading motor 7 through the CAN bus, EtherCAT interface, etc. Finally, it communicates with the host computer, receives torque control instructions from the host computer, and uploads the collected data to the host computer for real-time display.

[0044] The mathematical abstract representation of the driver is: input voltage u (t) To torque T m Output: Tm =K m u (t) ,K m is the proportionality coefficient between output torque and input voltage;

[0045] Kinematic equation of loading motor 7: T m =J m ω m +B m ω m +T l +T f , J m Moment of inertia, ω m Angular velocity, B m Damping coefficient, T l Load moment; T f The sum of unknown disturbance torques caused by friction nonlinearity, external uncertain disturbances, etc.;

[0046] Torque sensor 6 modeling: T l =K A (θ m -θ r ), where T l ,θ m can be measured in real time, so [x1(t),x2(t)] T =[T l ,ω m ] T ;

[0047] Combining the above three formulas, we get:

[0048]

[0049] Taking ESO into account we can further transform the equation into:

[0052] The high stability controller adopts terminal sliding film control with ESO, and regards the part outside the control amount as the total disturbance, which includes internal disturbance, external disturbance and gain estimation deviation of the control amount. The total disturbance f is

[0053] The expanded state equation after expanding the total disturbance f into a state variable of the system is:

[0055] ESO is: After using the pole placement method,

[0056] Case Study:

[0057] Through 10NM step signal, 1HZ, 5HZ, 10HZ sine wave signal and the reaction torque signal in the X-axis direction solved according to the actual flexible solar wing, the semi-physical simulation platform of this embodiment is used to conduct experiments on the torsional vibration system and the loading system under different frequencies. The two torque deviations of the torsional vibration system and the loading system after passing the startup stage and entering the stable operation state are as follows:

[0058]

[0059]

[0060] By adding an extended state observer to observe excess torque and other external disturbances, the dynamic response and torque following capabilities of this simulation platform are greatly improved. Compared with the double-ten rule required by traditional load simulators, that is, the amplitude deviation and phase angle deviation are both less than 10%, the beneficial effects of this simulation platform are far lower than the traditional evaluation criteria. Figure 7-9 As shown in the conclusion and results in the above table, by testing the above different input signals, it can be seen that their amplitude deviations are all less than 0.5%, and their phase angle deviations are all less than 5%, which are much smaller than the commonly used 10% judgment standard.

[0061] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structures and / or characteristics in the scheme are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
