Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a calibration mechanism, specifically to a direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device. Background Technology
[0002] After medium- and long-wave remote sensing payloads are launched into orbit, their performance changes due to factors such as the space environment, their own aging, and fluctuations in dark current caused by non-uniformity in the detector response, severely affecting image quality. Therefore, relative and absolute radiometric calibration using surface-source blackbody and graybody sensors is necessary. Conventional calibration methods involve directly or indirectly introducing the radiation from the blackbody or graybody into the main optical path system through rotation, translation, or other means.
[0003] The mechanism performing this function, whether translation or rotation, generally uses a "stepper motor + transmission device" scheme, and usually employs static balancing counterweights for the load. This scheme, due to the addition of transmission components such as gears, racks, worm gears, worm shafts, cams, and crank-slider mechanisms, is highly complex and reduces on-orbit reliability. Furthermore, these schemes typically only have high-temperature calibration points (20°C above room temperature, 293K), lacking low-temperature points, resulting in small temperature differences. Moreover, the mechanism lacks emergency measures; if a malfunction occurs after entering the optical path, it cannot exit the optical path, leading to camera failure. Chinese patent CN110864707B proposes a "high-reliability, high-self-locking calibration mechanism," which adds a crank-rocker mechanism, thus reducing reliability. The introduced torsion spring increases the mechanism's resistance torque, and the long-term cyclic action of the torsion spring poses a risk of failure. Chinese patent CN110806267A proposes a "cut-in type spaceborne large field-of-view infrared camera calibration mechanism." This patent adds a harmonic reducer, and the drive shaft and cylindrical compression spring are not decoupled, resulting in the same drawbacks as patent CN110864707B. Its temperature point is 100℃ (373K), which is a single temperature range. Chinese patent CN116625525A proposes a "self-locking crank, cam, blackbody on-orbit calibration mechanism." In addition to introducing a crank-slider mechanism, it also adds a sliding guide rail, cam, and limit spring. It is very compact but highly complex, and there is a risk that a single point of failure could cause the entire mechanism to fail. Summary of the Invention

[0064] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0065] (1) The present invention provides a direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device. Due to the use of a drive method that combines a rotating shaft with an emergency reset mechanism and a drive motor, the transmission complexity is reduced. In the cut-out and cut-in states, the load position will not be out of control or deviate from the original state due to impacts such as on-orbit micro-vibration or the action of moving parts on the satellite.
[0066] (2) The present invention provides a direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device, which can simultaneously meet the requirements of on-orbit emergency response, bistable position, reduced volume and weight, and adaptability to large temperature differences for on-orbit calibration.
[0067] (3) The present invention provides a direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device. The load and the support are both located on one side of the rotating shaft. The other side is not balanced by additional weight to ensure that the center of gravity of the load is on the central axis of the rotating shaft. Therefore, the load is an off-center load structure and is not balanced. Since balancing requires additional structural design, in addition to increasing the volume, it also increases the balancing weight. However, the load of the present invention is not balanced and does not require counterweight. The locking pin is used to lock the load to resist the mechanical environment of the active phase of satellite launch, which can reduce the volume and weight of the optical payload system and facilitate the compact design of the optical payload system.
[0068] (4) The present invention provides a direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device. The load is suitable for a large temperature difference environment from 360K to 210K through heat insulation measures (i.e., titanium screws, heat insulation T-sleeves, heat insulation pads, locking pin trimming pads, heat insulation trimming pads, and thermal control multilayers).
[0069] (5) The present invention provides a direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device, which uses a stepper motor with a backup winding for direct drive, Hall sensor positioning, and no transmission link, thereby reducing the complexity of the device and increasing on-orbit reliability.

Detailed Implementation
[0091] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0092] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device includes a base 1, a load 2, a radiant cooling shroud mechanism 3, a rotating shaft 4, two identical magnetic steel elements 5, a Hall element 6, a flexible connection mechanism 7, a limiting and fixing mechanism 8, a limiting and rotating mechanism 9, a pin puller 13, a locking pin puller 17, a locking pin hole 18, a bracket 19, a heat insulation trimming pad 132, and a locking pin puller trimming pad 172.
[0093] An emergency reset mechanism 11 is provided at the upper end of the base 1, and a drive motor 12 is provided at the lower end of the base 1. The drive motor 12 is directly driven by a stepper motor with a winding backup, and drives the load 2 to enter or exit the optical path through the flexible connection mechanism 7 to swing. An electrical connector assembly 10 is provided on one side wall of the base 1. The base 1 is composed of a first protrusion 14 at the upper end of the base 1, a second protrusion 15 and a third protrusion 16 at the lower end. The emergency reset mechanism 11 is provided at the upper end of the first protrusion 14. The upper end of the rotating shaft 4 passes through the first protrusion 14 and is connected to the emergency reset mechanism 11, and the lower end passes through the second protrusion 15 and is connected to the third connection terminal 73. The magnet element 5 and the Hall element 6 are provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 4 and are located between the second protrusion 15 and the third protrusion 16. The drive motor 12 is provided at the lower end of the third protrusion 16, and its output end passes through the third protrusion 16 and is connected to the first connection terminal 71.
[0094] Load 2 is fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft 4 to block the optical path during on-orbit calibration; the radiant cooling shroud mechanism 3 is fixed to the other side wall of the base 1, and the radiant cooling shroud mechanism 3 cooperates with the load 2 to house the load 2 when the optical path is cut out, and to provide radiant cooling to the load 2 when it is cut out; the pin puller 13 is mounted on the emergency reset mechanism 11 via the heat insulation trimming pad 132; the pin puller 13 is provided with a pin puller pin; the pin puller 13 is electrically connected to external equipment via the electrical connector assembly 10, and is used to retract the pin puller pin in the event of a control circuit failure; the lower end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 12. The rotating shaft 4 is used to drive the load 2 to cut out of or into the optical path; the upper end of the rotating shaft 4 cooperates with the emergency reset mechanism 11, which, in the event of a control circuit failure, allows the emergency reset mechanism 11 to drive the rotating shaft 4 to cut the load 2 out of the optical path to prevent the load 2 from blocking the optical path; the magnetic steel element 5 is disposed on the base 1 and is located on the rotation path of the Hall element 6 when the load 2 cuts out of or into the optical path; the magnetic steel element 5 is used to cooperate with the Hall element 6; the Hall element 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 4, and is used to electrically connect to external equipment through the electrical connector assembly 10 to indicate the position of the load 2 cutting out of or into the optical path. Figure 4 As shown, the load 2 consists of a radiant plate 21, titanium screws 22, a back plate 23, a heat-insulating T-sleeve 24, and a heat-insulating pad 25. The radiant plate 21 is mounted on the side wall of the bracket 19 near the radiant cooling shroud mechanism 3 via titanium screws 22. The back plate 23 is mounted on the outer side wall of the bracket 19 to prevent the thermal control multilayer from snagging (the thermal control multilayer is located between the back plate 23 and the bracket 19, and between the bracket 19 and the radiant plate 21). Its surface is treated with a high-emissivity black finish to absorb stray light, preventing stray light reflection when the thermal control multilayer is exposed and adapting to large temperature differences. The thermal control multilayer is used to reduce heat leakage, reduce the temperature of the radiant plate 21 from being affected by the environment, and ensure the temperature uniformity of the radiant plate 21.
[0095] A heat-insulating T-sleeve 24 is fitted between the radiating plate 21 and the titanium screw 22; a heat-insulating pad 25 is provided between the radiating plate 21 and the bracket 19. The load 2 is a functional component that performs a certain function, with two positions: cutting out the optical path and cutting into the optical path. In this embodiment, the load 2 is an off-center load structure and is not balanced, which reduces the volume and weight of the device of the present invention. The radiating plate 21 is a blackbody, with black paint applied to the inside and a heating element attached to the outside. It is heat-insulated and installed on the bracket 19 by the heat-insulating T-sleeve 24, the heat-insulating pad 25, and the titanium screw 22, ensuring heat insulation. There are four titanium screws 22 in total, with silicone rubber applied to the heads. In an emergency, the heads of the titanium screws 22 directly contact the impact rubber 34, reducing the impact force.
[0096] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the radiation cooling shroud mechanism 3 consists of a radiation cooling shroud housing 31, a collision fixing block 32, a collision nut 33, a collision rubber 34, a heat pipe 35, a heat pipe clamp 36, a flexible pad 37, and a screw anti-loosening baffle 38. The radiation cooling shroud housing 31 is sized to match the back plate 23. The collision fixing block 32 is mounted on the inner wall of the radiation cooling shroud housing 31 near the radiation plate 21 via the collision nut 33. The collision rubber 34 is located inside the collision fixing block 32 and is used to directly contact the titanium screw 22 when the load 2 cuts out the optical path to reduce the emergency impact force. The heat pipe 35 is mounted on the outer wall of the radiation cooling shroud housing 31 via the heat pipe clamp 36 and the screw. The flexible pad 37 is located between the heat pipe clamp 36 and the other side wall of the radiation cooling shroud housing 31. The screw anti-loosening baffle 38 is bonded to the outer wall of the heat pipe clamp 36. The radiant cooling shroud mechanism 3 provides a low temperature environment of less than or equal to 20°C (293K) to the radiant plate 21 in the load 2 through radiant heat transfer, and it can also provide a high temperature environment of greater than 20°C (293K) through the heating plate on its back (i.e., between the bracket 19 and the back plate 23).
[0097] Preferably, four impact rubbers 34 are provided on the side wall of the radiant cooling shroud 31 near the radiant plate 21, all of which are fixed by impact fixing blocks 32. The impact fixing blocks 32 are screwed into the radiant cooling shroud 31 by threads and reinforced by impact nuts 33. During emergency release of load 2, the impact rubbers 34 contact the titanium screws 22 to absorb impact energy. The heat pipe 35 is fixed to the other side wall of the radiant cooling shroud 31 by screws and heat pipe clamps 36. The screws are screwed into the radiant cooling shroud 31 by passing through a flat washer, an elastic washer, a flat washer, a heat pipe clamp 36, and a flexible washer in sequence. The screw anti-loosening baffle 38 is glued to the heat pipe clamp 36, which ensures that when disassembling or assembling the heat pipe 35, no other parts need to be removed, i.e., decoupling. Only loosening or tightening the screws is needed to remove or install the heat pipe 35, which is beneficial for operation in confined spaces. The heat pipe 35 is used to connect to the on-board cold plate facing the cryogenic space (200K) to ensure the low-temperature environment.

The reset plate 103 is connected to the locking nut 107; the reset plate 103 has multiple outer pin holes evenly distributed around its circumference to cooperate with the pin of the puller; the inner interface of the flat coil spring 105 is connected to the coil spring shaft 102, and the outer interface is snapped into the coil spring box 101. The flat coil spring 105 is used to drive the emergency lever 104 to rotate during emergency reset; the shaft 4 is connected to the first protrusion seat 14 through the bearing 108, and the upper end of the shaft 4 passes through the first protrusion seat 14 and is fixedly connected to the swing rod 109; the emergency lever 104 cooperates with the swing rod 109 and is used to push the swing rod 109 to drive the shaft 4 to rotate during emergency reset, so that the load 2 cuts out the optical path.
[0099] The emergency reset mechanism 11 is used to cut the load 2 out of the optical path via the planar coil spring 105 in the event of failures such as control circuit or cable breakage, thus preventing the main optical path from being blocked. The emergency reset mechanism 11 is not physically connected to the rotating shaft 4 of the load 2, achieving decoupling in its design and improving on-orbit reliability. The outer diameter of the planar coil spring 105 in its free state is larger than the outer diameter of the coil spring box 101. When the planar coil spring 105 is retracted into the coil spring box 101, it already possesses a certain amount of stored torque at its installation position. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the planar coil spring 105 in its free state is 85mm, and its outer diameter in its retracted state is 60mm.
[0100] like Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, the flexible connection mechanism 7 includes a first connection terminal 71, a second connection terminal 72, and a third connection terminal 73 connected sequentially from bottom to top along the axial direction. The first connection terminal 71 is provided with a semi-circular hole 711 adapted to the output shaft of the drive motor 12, which is used to connect with the output shaft of the drive motor 12 and restrict the radial free rotation of the drive motor 12. The third connection terminal 73 is provided with a pivot pin hole 731 on its circumferential side wall. The third connection terminal 73 is connected to the lower end of the pivot shaft 4 through a pivot pin and the pivot pin hole 731. Spring sheets 74 are respectively provided between the first connection terminal 71 and the second connection terminal 72, and between the second connection terminal 72 and the third connection terminal 73. The end faces of the first connection terminal 71 and the third connection terminal 73 near the second connection terminal 72 are respectively provided with boss holes 75, which are used to ensure that the spring sheets 74 have a certain deformation space after installation.
[0101] like Figure 11 As shown, along the isometric view of the direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device, it can be seen that the locking pin 17 at the cut-out position of the load 2 is set on the base 1 through the locking pin trimming pad 172, and a locking pin pin 171 is set on it. The locking pin 17 is used to electrically connect to external equipment through the electrical connector assembly 10; the load 2 is fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft 4 through the bracket 19; the locking pin hole 18 cooperates with the locking pin 17 and is set on the bracket 19. Its end is provided with a tapered hole 181, which is adapted to the locking pin pin 171 to ensure that the locking pin pin 171 can smoothly extend and retract in the locking pin 17.
[0102] like Figure 12 As shown, along the isometric (i.e., P-direction) of the direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device, the installation positions of the limiting rotation mechanism 9 and the rotating shaft 4, and the limiting fixing mechanism 8 and the base 1 at the load 2 cut-out position can be seen. Figure 13 As shown, the limiting and fixing mechanism 8 is disposed at the lower end of the first protrusion seat 14, including the arc-shaped body 81, the cutting-out limiting surface 82 and the cutting-in limiting surface 83 respectively disposed at both ends of the lower end face of the arc-shaped body 81, the first stable trap 84 and the second stable trap 85 disposed between the cutting-out limiting surface 82 and the cutting-in limiting surface 83, and the three glue injection grooves 86 disposed between the first stable trap 84 and the second stable trap 85; the glue injection grooves 86 are used to assist in fixing the arc-shaped body 81.
[0103] like Figure 14As shown, the limiting rotation mechanism 9 is located near the lower end of the first protrusion 14 of the rotating shaft 4 and includes a limiting rotation rod 91, a limiting ball 92, a limiting spring 93, and a locking screw 94. One end of the limiting rotation mechanism is fixed to the rotating shaft 4 by a screw, and the other end is used to swing between the cutting-out limiting surface 82 and the cutting-in limiting surface 83 when the rotating shaft 4 rotates. The limiting ball 92, the limiting spring 93, and the locking screw 94 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the mounting hole. The limiting ball 92 cooperates with the first stable trap 84. In the cutting-out state, it falls into the first stable trap 84 to limit the load 2 when cutting out the optical path. The limiting ball 92 cooperates with the second stable trap 85. In the cutting-in state, it falls into the second stable trap 85 to limit the load 2 when cutting into the optical path. The limiting spring 93 is a compression spring. The compression of the limiting spring 93 can be adjusted by rotating the axial position of the locking screw 94, thereby adjusting the preload of the limiting ball 92.
[0104] The limiting and fixing mechanism 8 is an integrated design, made of tin bronze plated with solid lubricant. The first steady-state trap 84 corresponds to the load 2 cut-out position (i.e., 0-degree position), and the second steady-state trap 85 corresponds to the load 2 cut-in position (i.e., 95-degree position). Preferably, both the first steady-state trap 84 and the second steady-state trap 85 are conical hemispherical holes, with a diameter consistent with the nominal diameter of the limiting ball 92, both being 4mm, and the fit clearance is positive tolerance. The cut-out limiting surface 82 and the cut-in limiting surface 83 are the two extreme positions of the direct-drive bistable cut-in or cut-out type off-center load calibration device of the present invention, which are 1.5° away from the working position (i.e., the included angles between the limiting rotating rod 91 and the cut-out limiting surface 82 and the cut-in limiting surface 83 are both 1.5°).
[0105] like Figure 15 As shown, the magnetic element 5 consists of a magnetic base 51, a magnetic protective shell 52, and a magnet 54 inside the magnetic protective shell 52. One end of the magnetic base 51 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The magnetic protective shell 52 is disposed at the other end of the magnetic base 51, and a magnetic limiting hole 53 is provided on the magnetic protective shell 52. The magnetic protective shell 52 is made of metal material, preferably aluminum alloy. The magnetic limiting hole 53 in the magnetic protective shell 52 can improve the accuracy of Hall sensing. The magnetic elements 5 are divided into two groups, one group is set at the 0-degree position after the load 2 is inserted, and the other group is set at the 95-degree position after the load 2 is removed, which are used to determine the position status of the radiation plate 21 respectively. The two magnetic elements 5 cooperate with one Hall element 6 to realize the accurate transmission of the load position.
[0106] like Figure 16 , Figure 17As shown, the Hall element 6 consists of a Hall cover plate 61, a Hall seat 62, a Hall bracket 63, and a Hall chip circuit 64. One end of the Hall bracket 63 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4 near the lower side wall of the second protrusion 15, and the Hall cover plate 61 and the Hall seat 62 are disposed at the other end of the Hall bracket 63. The Hall chip circuit 64 is disposed between the Hall cover plate 61 and the Hall seat 62, and is used to form a magnetic induction current signal with the magnet 54. The Hall cover plate 61 is provided with a wire outlet groove 611 and a Hall sensing hole 612. The wire outlet groove 611 is used to lead out the connection wire of the Hall chip in the Hall chip circuit 64 and connect it to an external device through the electrical connector assembly 10, and is fixed to the base 1 with a cable clamp 100. The Hall sensing hole 612 corresponds to the magnetic limiting hole 53 of the magnet and marks the theoretical sensing position of the Hall chip. In this embodiment, the materials of the Hall cover 1 and the Hall seat 62 are both heat-insulating polyimide, which is used to avoid changes in the accuracy of the Hall chip circuit 64 due to temperature changes.
[0107] like Figure 19 As shown, in other embodiments, one end of the magnet base 51 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4; one end of each of the two Hall brackets 63 is fixedly connected to the base 1.
[0108] When load 2 is disconnected from the optical path, locking pin 17 is in a locked state. The highest temperature of the radiant plate 21 is 360K, and the lowest temperature is 210K; the temperature of the cooling shroud housing 31 is 205K. For example... Figure 18 As shown, the working surfaces of the cooling shroud shell 31 and the radiation plate 21 are respectively provided with micro-conical structures and coated with a high emissivity coating, which can greatly improve the on-orbit radiation capability. At this time, the radiation plate 21 and the cooling shroud shell 31 face each other, and the low temperature of 205K of the cooling shroud shell 31 can be transferred to the radiation plate 21 through radiation heat exchange, so that their temperatures tend to be uniform (considering the 5K temperature difference under the condition of heat leakage).
[0109] To prevent damage from collisions during satellite launch, the load 2 is reliably secured during launch by engaging the locking pin hole 18 with the locking pin puller 17, preventing uncontrolled random rotation of the load 2. The locking pin puller 17 is connected to the base 1 by screws via a locking pin puller trimming pad 172. The locking pin puller trimming pad 172 is made of fiberglass, which not only allows for adjustment of the locking pin puller 17's position, avoiding excessive assembly stress, but also provides thermal insulation to prevent the locking pin puller 17 from overheating and triggering erroneously.
[0110] When load 2 enters the optical path, radiation plate 21 enters the main optical path, the position of magnet element 5 aligns with the Hall element 6 on the entering side, and outputs position signal A to external equipment. At this time, the limit ball 92 in the limit rotation mechanism 9 falls into the second steady-state trap 85.
[0111] When load 2 cuts out of the optical path, radiation plate 21 cuts out of the main optical path, the position of magnet element 5 aligns with the Hall element 6 on the cut-out side, and outputs position signal B to external equipment. At this time, the limit ball 92 in the limit rotation mechanism 9 falls into the first steady-state trap 84.
[0112] In other embodiments, the radiating plate 21 can be a blackbody, a graybody, a diffuse reflector, or a plane reflector; the drive motor 12 can also be a torque motor with more complex control; the Hall element 6 can be based on the Hall sensing principle, or it can be based on the photoelectric switch principle or the micro switch principle.
[0113] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
