Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a primary and secondary mirror support tube, and in particular to a ceramic-based composite material integrated molding die and method for the primary and secondary mirror support tube. Background Art

[0002] The primary and secondary mirror support tubes are the most critical support structures of optical remote sensors. They are used to support optical detectors and related circuits and have high thermal stability and mechanical performance requirements. Figure 1 As shown, the primary and secondary mirror support tubes include a circular support tube 01, a square support tube 02, and a support bracket; the lower end of the circular support tube 01 is provided with an outward annular flange 03; the square support tube 02 is arranged at the top center of the circular support tube 01, and the side length of the square support tube 02 is smaller than the diameter of the circular support tube 01, so a connecting ring 06 is vertically connected between the lower end of the square support tube 02 and the upper end of the circular support tube 01; the support bracket includes four support plates 04 evenly arranged around the circular support tube 01 and the square support tube 02 and a support ring 05 arranged on the top of the four support plates 04; the four support plates 04 are respectively located at the centers of the four sides of the square support tube 02, and are respectively vertically connected to the four sides thereof, and are also connected to the outer wall of the upper section of the circular support tube 01. It can be seen that the primary and secondary mirror support tubes are a complex structure including a circular-to-square cylinder structure, which is generally made of ceramic-based composite materials. Ceramic matrix composites are a new type of thermal structural / functional integrated material that combines the performance advantages of metal materials, ceramic materials and carbon materials. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low density, high specific strength, high specific modulus, oxidation resistance, ablation resistance, insensitivity to cracks, and no catastrophic damage. It is widely used in components.

[0003] At present, the round-to-square cylinder structure of SiC / SiC and C / SiC composite materials generally adopts split structure densification and finalization, and finally assembles the parts of each split structure. The mold of the parts of the split structure is formed by splicing a simple structure, and finally fixed and formed by bolts and pins. In this way, the dimensions between the various parts are prone to deviation, which often leads to greater difficulty in assembly and cannot meet the requirements of high-precision structural forming. Moreover, for the cylinder structure combining round and square, the finalization process is more difficult. Not only must the fiber have a high continuity, but also the appearance of the cylinder structure after finalization must be intact, and the final prepared primary and secondary mirror support cylinder must have a high strength. However, the primary and secondary mirror support cylinders made by the existing split production method cannot meet the requirements. Summary of the invention
