Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of satellite AIT, and in particular, relates to a method for protecting and fixing a spacecraft inline resistor. Background Art

[0002] Satellite AIT is the core link in the satellite manufacturing process, which covers the three stages of satellite assembly, integration and testing. This technical field focuses on assembling the various subsystems, components and assemblies of the satellite according to precise design requirements to form a complete satellite structure. During the integration stage, AIT technology ensures seamless connection and collaborative work between electrical, mechanical, thermal control and other systems to maximize satellite functions. Subsequently, a series of tests, including thermal tests, mechanical tests, electromagnetic compatibility tests, etc., are carried out to verify the performance, stability and reliability of the satellite to ensure its normal operation in the space environment.

[0003] Satellite AIT is directly related to the success and performance of satellites. Through this process, potential problems in the manufacturing process can be discovered and solved in a timely manner, reducing launch risks and improving the reliability and service life of satellites. At the same time, with the continuous advancement of aerospace technology, the field of satellite AIT is also developing in the direction of intelligence and modularization, introducing automated equipment and intelligent testing systems to improve production efficiency and test accuracy, and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0004] The satellite AIT field is an important process in satellite development. The quality of the cable network, which is the lifeline of the satellite, directly affects the success of satellite launch and in-orbit service. The protection and fixation of cables and in-line resistors are key links to ensure the overall quality of the cables. The cables mainly refer to low-frequency cable conductors without shielding layers. In general, in-line resistors are arranged close to the surface of the satellite structure and fixed by nylon tie straps on the brackets installed on the satellite.

When the cable routing direction changes, the position of the resistor needs to be re-fixed, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has a complicated process and high operational risks, posing a certain threat to the quality of satellite AIT and mission progress.

[0032] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a method for protecting and fixing a spacecraft inline resistor, comprising: a cable, a resistor and a resistor packaging box;

[0034] Specifically, the cable is connected to the resistor by welding, the resistor is connected to the resistor packaging box by potting glue, and the cable is a non-shielded wire;

[0035] Specifically, the resistors are two plug-in packaged resistors, and the size is adapted to the resistor packaging box; the middle baffle in the resistor packaging box cavity is used to separate the two resistors, the gap in the cavity is used for cable forming, and the grooves on the sides are used for the passage and fixation of the wires.

[0036] The protection and fixing method of spacecraft in-line resistors provided by the present invention solves the problems of low strength of welding points of wire series resistors and great hidden dangers in assembly, ensures electrical insulation between different internal resistors, and effectively protects resistors and welding points from external stress. It has the advantages of simple structure, small size, and light weight. After application, it can effectively realize the coating and protection of satellite wire series resistors, which plays an important role in ensuring the satellite lifeline and the normal operation of the entire satellite in orbit.

[0037] In other words, a method for protecting and fixing a spacecraft inline resistor provided by the present invention includes: a wire, a resistor and a resistor packaging box; the wire and the resistor are connected by welding, and the resistor and the resistor packaging box are connected by potting glue.

[0038] Specifically, the conductor is a single wire of a cable.

[0039] Specifically, the wire is a wire without a shielding layer. In other words, the wire has no shielding layer.

[0040] Specifically, the resistor is a plug-in package resistor.

[0041] The resistor packaging box, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0042] In view of the existing technical defects, the present invention provides a nylon resistor packaging box for protecting and fixing an in-line resistor, thereby realizing the protection and positioning functions of the resistor and the pin solder joints.

[0043] Specifically, the steps for protecting and fixing the spacecraft inline resistor are as follows:

[0044] Step 1: Strip the wire 2.5mm to 3mm, and tin the core wire with tin-lead solder; do not tin the part 0.5mm from the root of the core wire;

[0045] Step 2: Cut the resistor pins 4mm away from the root;

[0046] Step 3: Lap-weld the wire core and the resistor pin, with a welding length of 2.5mm to 3mm;

[0047] Step 4: Place the soldered wires and resistors in the resistor packaging box. Cross the wires in the resistor box to prevent the direct-connected wires from being pulled directly by external forces during use, which may reduce the mechanical strength of the solder joints. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the distance between the two bending points of the two wires, that is, the two crossing points, is greater than or equal to 3mm, and the bending radius is guaranteed to be no less than the single diameter of the wire. Figure 1 shown.

[0048] Specifically, the wire includes a first wire and a second wire; the head ends of the first wire and the second wire are crossed to form a first intersection, and the tail ends of the first wire and the second wire are crossed to form a second intersection; the distance between the first intersection and the second intersection is greater than or equal to 3 mm; the first intersection and the second intersection are located in the resistor packaging box.

[0049] In the embodiment, the lateral distance of the wire cross-forming is 3 mm, that is, the distance between the intersection points of the wires is 3 mm, and the bending radius is not less than a single diameter of the wire;

[0050] Specifically, the cross-molding of the wires can avoid direct pulling on the solder joints, and the bending radius related to the solder joints is determined in accordance with the requirements of the welding standards.

[0051] Step 5: Slowly inject silicone rubber into the resistor packaging box, allowing the silicone rubber to fill the inside of the packaging box until the silicone rubber completely covers the resistor and solder joints and the potting height does not exceed the packaging box. After completion, place it in the air to cure for 24 hours;

[0052] Specifically, preferably, the potting glue, that is, silicone rubber, covers the resistor and the welding point; and the potting glue does not overflow from the resistor packaging box.

[0053] Specifically, the crossed wires can avoid directly pulling the solder joints, and the bending radius related to the solder joints is determined according to the requirements of the welding standard. The purpose of slowly injecting the silicone rubber is to avoid bubbles in the silicone rubber and insufficient filling.

[0054] Step 6: Use 3M polyimide tape to axially wrap the potted resistor packaging box and completely cover it.

[0055] A resistor packaging box for spacecraft inline resistors, made of nylon, with a shape like Figure 1 shown.

[0056] The invention has a simple principle, a practical structure and a clear process, which not only reflects the maturity of the technology application but also demonstrates its innovation.

[0057] Example 2: A spacecraft uses a resistor packaging box to protect and fix the strip resistor. The two resistors used are RJ57-1W-20Ω-F±100ppm. The configuration and size of the resistor packaging box are as follows: Figure 1 For resistors of different models and specifications, the size of the resistor packaging box can be determined according to the resistor size and fixed process parameters.

[0058] The external dimensions of the resistor packaging box in this example are 50.5×13.5×6.5mm. The resistor with the cable is placed in the resistor packaging box, and the cable is placed in the groove on the side of the packaging box. Figure 2 After installation is completed, inject silicone rubber into the resistor packaging box until the silicone rubber completely covers the resistor and solder joints, and place it in the air to cool until the silicone rubber is completely solidified.
