Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent manufacturing equipment industry and space-ground consistency testing technology, specifically involving a space-ground consistency test device and testing method for flexible spacecraft control systems based on uncertainty quantification. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid advancements in aerospace technology, spacecraft need to perform tasks requiring high attitude control performance, such as tracking and pointing, Earth orientation, and deep space exploration. Therefore, flexible attachments that provide these functional requirements, such as solar panels, antennas, and robotic arms, have become larger, but these structures typically have lower mass and stiffness. Vibration of flexible structures can significantly affect the accuracy of attitude control during spacecraft maneuvers through coupling effects. Therefore, vibration suppression of flexible structures has become a crucial research direction in spacecraft control. To reduce the coupling effects of large flexible components and improve the attitude control accuracy of spacecraft, it is currently urgent to better suppress the vibration of flexible components, and the control effect needs to be verified through experiments on simulation systems.
[0003] With the development of space technology, the requirements for the reliability, control stability, control accuracy, and performance of satellite systems are constantly increasing. Therefore, establishing a full-physical simulation system for satellites is essential. This system can verify new technologies to be applied to satellites on the ground. Without prior ground verification, satellite launch failures could occur, resulting in significant cost waste. Currently, research on full-physical simulation systems for flexible spacecraft is limited, especially for flexible spacecraft. Existing technologies are costly to build, bulky, and complex, primarily used in the final verification phase of satellite technology. There is an urgent need for simulation system design in this field, requiring small-scale simulation equipment usable in the initial research and development and debugging stages of the technology.
[0004] After obtaining results through experiments on a simulation system, it is necessary to analyze the reliability of the results. This requires providing a method for verifying the consistency between the simulation system and the satellite's orbit, describing the extent to which the system can simulate the satellite's on-orbit state. Currently, there are few schemes for verifying the consistency between the simulation system and the satellite's orbit, especially lacking analysis of uncertainties in the system. Therefore, it is necessary to further understand the sources of uncertainty between the simulation system and on-orbit operation, quantify the impact of these uncertainties on the consistency between the simulation system and the satellite's orbit, and provide ideas on how to reduce and manage uncertainty. Summary of the Invention

[0066] To further understand the invention's content, features, and effects, the following specific embodiments are provided, along with accompanying drawings. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 Detailed explanation is as follows:
[0067] Example 1:
[0068] A test device for the consistency between space and ground of a flexible spacecraft control system based on uncertainty quantification includes an air-floating robot and flexible components. The air-floating robot is used to simulate the central rigid body of a flexible spacecraft, and the flexible components are used to simulate the deployed solar panels.
[0069] One end of the flexible component is connected to the upper support column of the air-floating robot, while the other end is free and equipped with a weight. Fiber optic grating sensors are distributed on the flexible component to measure the flexible vibration. A piezoelectric ceramic plate is installed at the end of the flexible component connected to the air-floating robot for driving and controlling the vibration of the flexible component.
[0070] Furthermore, the air-floating robot includes an upper plate, a middle plate, and a lower plate. The upper plate and the middle plate are connected by an upper support column, and the middle plate and the lower plate are connected by a middle support column. A target is installed on the upper surface of the upper plate, a cylinder and circuit components are installed on the upper surface of the middle plate, four fans are evenly distributed along the edge of the middle plate, an air passage is installed on the upper surface of the lower plate, and an air foot is installed on the lower surface of the lower plate.
[0071] Furthermore, the air-floating robot is placed on a marble platform, and a camera is installed above the marble platform at a distance from the platform surface to identify three targets on the top of the air-floating robot.
[0072] Furthermore, four fans are symmetrically installed on the edge of the middle layer board, each spaced 90° apart; the circuit section consists of two batteries, 5V and 12V voltage regulator modules, PC104, fan control board, fan ESC, etc.; the air circuit section consists of cylinder, air pump, air pressure sensor, solenoid valve, air foot, etc.
[0073] Furthermore, the flexible component is an aluminum plate measuring 0.8m × 0.2m × 0.001m, with a 1kg counterweight added to the end.
[0074] Furthermore, the camera identifies three target points on the top of the air-floating robot for positioning and attitude recognition. When the air-floating robot is powered on and the solenoid valve of the gas cylinder is opened via a remote control switch, the gas cylinder can be supplied with sufficient air through an air pump. At this time, the air-floating robot can move freely in a suspended state within the plane. When the solenoid valve is closed, the robot will stop on the platform. Due to the relatively small size of the air-floating robot, a small PC104 is used as the control module. The PC104 runs the executable code generated by the simulation program from the host machine below the platform. The wireless network card is connected to the PC104 and connected to the local area network, establishing communication between the host machine and the air-floating robot. Then, the control signals sent by the PC104 are transmitted to the fan control board through the serial port to generate a PWM wave, which uses an electronic speed controller to control the motor operation, making the fan rotate.
[0075] After the air-floating robot can simulate the rigid body at the center of a spacecraft, the flexible components will be designed through simulation. The flexible components will be a single-wing flexible plate made of aluminum. One end of the flexible plate will be fixed to the air-floating robot, while the other end will be free. Through finite element analysis, the flexible plate will be determined to be a 0.8m × 0.2m × 0.001m aluminum plate with a 1kg counterweight at the end. The structural diagram is shown below. Figure 2 The modal frequencies are shown in Table 1, and the total deformation diagram is shown in [the table]. Figure 3 ,;
