DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] The large-diameter rib-column tensioned expandable antenna mechanism described in this embodiment increases the rib nodes on the outermost circle, reduces the overhang depth, and improves the effective diameter of the rib antenna through the split structure design at the end of the rib unit.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment includes a telescopic column 1, a plurality of rib units 2, inter-rib tension cables 3, column tension cables 30 and a motor screw speed control unit 4.
[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, each rib unit 2 is in a "Y"-shaped structure, and each rib unit 2 includes four unit modules, which are respectively a first unit module A, a second unit module B, a third unit module C and a fourth unit module D. One end of the second unit module B is hinged to the first unit module A through a first connecting member 5, and the other end of the second unit module B is hinged to the third unit module C and the fourth unit module D through a second connecting member 6. The third unit module C and the fourth unit module D are designed in a "V"-shaped bifurcation, with the opening facing outward. The angle between the third unit module C and the fourth unit module D is 45°.
[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting member 5 includes a first hinge joint 5-1, a first vertical rod 5-2, a second hinge joint 5-3, a first connecting rod 5-4 and a first slider 5-5. The first vertical rod 5-2 is provided with a first hinge joint 5-1 and a second hinge joint 5-3 at the upper and lower ends respectively. The first slider 5-5 is mounted on the first vertical rod 5-2. The two sides of the first slider 5-5 are rotationally connected to two first connecting rods 5-4. One end of each connecting rod 5-4 is rotationally connected to the first slider 5-5, and the other end is rotationally connected to the upper chord rods of the adjacent left and right units. The function of the connecting rod is to ensure that the expansion angles of the two upper chord rods always remain the same.
[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the second connecting member 6 includes a third hinge joint 6-1, a second vertical rod 6-2, a fourth hinge joint 6-3, a second connecting rod 6-4, and a second slider 6-5; the upper end of the second vertical rod 6-2 is connected to the third hinge joint 6-1; the lower end of the second vertical rod 6-2 is connected to the fourth hinge joint 6-3, and the second slider 6-5 is mounted on the second vertical rod 6-2. Three second connecting rods 6-4 are rotatably connected to the second slider, and the three connecting rods 6-4 are rotatably connected to the upper chords of the adjacent left and right units respectively. The upper and lower hinge joints of the second vertical rod 6-2 are also designed to be forked, and the fork angle is 45 degrees, and a three-connecting rod and forked slider design is adopted.
[0046] like Figure 7As shown, each unit module includes two basic expandable units 8, and the two basic expandable units 8 are hinged by a third connecting member 7. The third connecting member 7 includes a central rod 7-1, a slider 7-2, a spring 7-3, a fifth hinge joint 7-4 and a sixth hinge joint 7-5; the central rod 7-1 is sequentially provided with a slider 7-2 and a spring 7-3 from top to bottom, the upper end of the central rod 7-1 is provided with a fifth hinge joint 7-4, and the lower end of the central rod 7-1 is provided with a sixth hinge joint 7-5.
[0047] That is, there are eight basic expandable units on each rib, of which each bifurcated structure (i.e., the third unit module C and the fourth unit module D) has two basic expandable units, so the bifurcated structure has four basic expandable units. The more units on the bifurcations, that is, the closer the bifurcations are to the central connecting plate, the more expandable units on each rib will be, and the greater the mass will be. When the number of units on the bifurcations is small, the bifurcations are too short, and it is impossible to ensure that the end nodes of the bifurcations are evenly distributed on the outermost envelope circle. The angle of the bifurcations is related to the length of the bifurcations and the distribution position of the end nodes of the bifurcations. When designing, the number of units on the ribs should be small (light mass) and the end nodes should be evenly distributed to determine the bifurcations and the number of units on the bifurcations.
[0048] like Figure 8 As shown, each basic expandable unit 8 includes a small support rod 8-1, an upper chord rod 8-2, a lower chord rod 8-3, a small diagonal web rod 8-4 and a large diagonal web rod 8-5, one end of the upper chord rod is connected to the upper end of the center rod of the third connecting member through a fifth hinge joint, one end of the lower chord rod is connected to the lower end of the center rod of the third connecting member through a sixth hinge joint, one end of the small diagonal web rod is connected to the fifth hinge joint, and the other end is connected to one end of the large diagonal web rod 8-5, one end of the small support rod is connected to the slider in the third connecting member, and the other end is connected to the small diagonal web rod.
[0049] The joint of the large diagonal brace 8-5 is designed to be connected to the joint of the lower chord bar connected to the vertical bar at a right angle. This design is to ensure that the large diagonal brace 8-5 is parallel to the lower chord bar when the unit is folded, so as to avoid excessive occupation of the internal space formed by the upper bar and the lower bar when the unit is folded due to the large diagonal brace 8-5 and the lower chord bar having a certain angle. Fig. 9 As shown, the diagonal rod is parallel to the lower rod, occupying the smallest internal space, avoiding structural interference and reducing the volume envelope when folded.
[0050] like Fig.10As shown, the shaft design at the rotating joint in the third connecting member 7 is shown in the figure. There is a pin 18, two copper sleeves 19 and an end-fixed cotter pin 20 at the joint. The copper sleeve 19 is between the pin 18 and the A hinge 21, which reduces the friction at the rotating joint and improves the rotation accuracy. The locking principle is to use the spring 22 to push the locking pin 23 into the locking hole 25 on the B hinge 24 to form a joint lock. When the mechanism is deployed in place, the locking holes 25 on the A hinge 21 and the B hinge 24 are concentric, so the locking pin 23 is inserted into the hole under the elastic force of the spring 22. During the ground experiment, it is necessary to repeatedly lock, unlock, expand and retract. Just push the unlocking screw 26 along the slot to drive the locking pin 23 to move inward to unlock.
[0051] like Fig.11 As shown, the motor screw control unit 4 includes a top plate 9, a bottom plate 10, a motor 11, a motor bracket 12, a third slider 13, a screw 14, a bearing 15 and a connecting rod 16. The motor 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 10 through the motor bracket 12. One end of the screw 14 is connected to the motor output shaft, and the other end is connected to the top plate 9 through the bearing 15. The third slider 13 is sleeved on the screw 14 and is threadedly connected to the screw 14. The outer end of the third slider 13 is provided with a plurality of connecting rods along the circumferential direction, and the end of each connecting rod is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 16.
[0052] The edges of the top plate 9 and the bottom plate 10 are provided with a plurality of connection holes along the circumferential direction for connection with the root of the rib unit. The outer edge connection hole of the top plate 9 is connected to the hinge joint of the upper chord rod 8-2 at the root of the rib unit, and the outer edge connection hole of the bottom plate 10 is connected to the hinge joint of the lower chord rod 8-3 at the root of the rib unit. When the motor 11 drives the screw rod 14 to rotate, the third slider 13 can reciprocate up and down in the vertical direction. The outer end of the third slider 13 is provided with a plurality of connection rods along the circumferential direction. One end of the connecting rod 16 is rotationally connected to the connection rod of the third slider 13, and the other end is rotationally connected to the upper chord rod 8-2. The unfolding angle of the upper chord rod is controlled by the motor.
[0053] The large-diameter rib column tensioned deployable antenna mechanism further comprises an inter-rib tension cable 3 and a column tension cable 30. The inter-rib tension cable 3 is arranged at a position as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown, a total of three circles of cables are designed. The inter-rib tension cables 3 are laid on the two connected rib units 2 and between the forks on the rib units. The inter-rib tension cables 3 are cross-arranged and respectively connected to the upper and lower hinged joints of the vertical rods; the column tension cable 30 is spindle-shaped, one end of the column tension cable 30 is connected to the end of the rib unit 2, and the other end of the column tension cable 30 is connected to the upper and lower ends of the telescopic column 1.
[0054] In order to improve the overall rigidity of the deployment mechanism, referring to the design of the ring rib deployment antenna structure, the upper and lower extendable columns 1 are designed, and the column tension cables 30 are connected from the ends of the columns to the ends of the rib units 2. From the structural analysis, it can be seen that the arc-shaped ribs will deform under the tension of the three-circle inter-rib tension cables 3, and the arc-shaped rib structure has a tendency to deform inwardly. Adding the upper and lower column tension cables 30 can effectively reduce the deformation.
[0055] There are two telescopic column structures 1, and the two extension columns work independently and are respectively located on the upper and lower surfaces of the motor screw control unit 4. Each telescopic column structure 1 includes a fixed cylinder 1-1, a first moving cylinder 1-2 and a second moving cylinder 1-3. The fixed cylinder 1-1, the first moving cylinder 1-2 and the second moving cylinder 1-3 are slidably connected in sequence from the outside to the inside.
[0056] like Figure 13-14 As shown, the two moving cylinders are folded in the fixed cylinder 1-1, and the whole mechanism is in a folded state. The inner surface of the fixed cylinder 1-1, the inner and outer surfaces of the first moving cylinder 1-2, and the inner surface of the second moving cylinder 1-3 are evenly distributed with three linear guides 1-4. The lower end of the first moving cylinder 1-2 is provided with three pulleys that slide with the linear guides on the inner surface of the fixed cylinder; the upper end of the first moving cylinder 1-2 is provided with three pulleys that slide with the three linear guides of the second moving cylinder; the lower end of the second moving cylinder 1-3 is provided with three pulleys that slide with the three linear guides of the first moving cylinder. Ensure the linear motion accuracy of the moving cylinder when it is unfolded. The fixed cylinder 1-1 is the cylinder with the largest diameter of the sleeve-type extension mechanism, which provides storage and movement space for the inner cylinder. The first moving cylinder 1-2 is located inside the fixed cylinder 1-1, and the outer diameter of the first moving cylinder 1-2 is reduced by 20mm relative to the outer diameter of the cylinder 1, and the second moving cylinder 1-3 is also the same relative to the first moving cylinder 1-2. The two adjacent cylinders are connected by sliding fit of pulleys and guides. The lower pulley on the lower joint of the first moving cylinder 1-2 is slidably matched with the inner guide rail of the fixed cylinder 1-1, and a locking mechanism is provided between each sleeve. The locking pin moves along the inner guide rail 29 during the unfolding process of the column until it moves to the position of the locking hole 27 and then is inserted into the locking hole 27 under the thrust of the spring to achieve locking in place. Fig.17 shown.
[0057] Fixed pulleys for winding ropes are provided at the upper end of the fixed cylinder 1-1, the upper and lower ends of the first moving cylinder 1-2, and the lower end of the second moving cylinder 1-3. Fig.15As shown. The winch mechanism works and starts to retract the rope. The first moving cylinder 1-2 is lifted by the fixed pulley to achieve deployment. The second moving cylinder 1-3 and the fixed cylinder 1-1 are connected by a fixed-length rope. Then, the moving second moving cylinder 1-3 will inevitably move outward as the moving first moving cylinder 1-2 extends, thereby achieving the synchronous deployment of the mechanism. Then, the locking mechanism works to lock the mechanism. When the mechanism needs to be retracted, the motor only needs to run in reverse to drive the reversely arranged rope pulley drive system to achieve the synchronous retraction of the mechanism. The principle diagram of the rope-driven sleeve scheme is shown in Fig.13 shown.
[0058] like Fig.15 As shown, a rope driving and gathering device is provided at the bottom end of each fixed cylinder; the device includes a motor, a gear set and two rope wheels 17, each rope wheel 17 is provided with three rope winding grooves, three unfolding ropes are wound on one rope wheel 17, and three gathering ropes are wound on the other rope wheel 17. The two rope wheels 17 are driven by a motor to drive the gear transmission, and the parameters of the two gears are the same, because the ratio of the movement length of the recovery and release ropes is 1:1. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a rope wheel through a driving gear, and the driven gear is meshed with the driving gear and connected to the other rope wheel. The two rope wheels rotate in opposite directions, so when the unfolding rope and the gathering rope are wound in the same direction, when the motor drives the rope pulley to rotate, one realizes the gathering and winding of the unfolding rope, and the other wheel realizes the release of the gathering rope.
[0059] Working process:
[0060] The steps for unfolding the antenna mechanism are as follows: after the mechanism is unlocked, the basic expandable unit on the rib is gradually unfolded under the elastic force of the driving spring 7-3. While unfolding, due to the action of the slider 5-5 and the connecting rod 5-4, the unfolding angle of each unit module is the same. The motor screw control unit located at the center position controls the unfolding speed. The motor 11 drives the screw rod 14 to rotate while the slider 13 sleeved on the screw rod 14 moves upward. The unfolding angle of the upper rod in the unit is controlled by the connecting rod 16. When all the rib units are unfolded and locked in place, the column 1 begins to unfold, and the motor in the rope drive and retracting device starts, driving the unfolding rope to be wound around the rope wheel, and the retracting rope is released, and each level of sleeve is unfolded and locked in place.
