Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of antenna reflector product assembly, specifically, it relates to a multifunctional transportation, transfer and parking device suitable for antenna reflectors. Background Technology

[0002] In the early stages of antenna reflector product assembly, the antenna reflectors need to be transported long distances to the factory workstation. Due to the high precision requirements of the antenna reflector surface, the significant impact of assembly stress, and the fragility of the coated surface, which is easily contaminated and damaged, foam boxes are commonly used for transport and storage. However, foam boxes pose risks of contamination from excess material and scratches from the reflector surface to the foam. Furthermore, removing the reflector surface from the box requires manual lifting, which introduces uncontrollable factors. In addition to foam boxes, rigid transport and storage fixtures are also commonly used. However, rigid transport and storage fixtures can affect the surface precision of the reflector due to assembly stress. Moreover, they only solve the problem of fixed storage of the reflector surface, have a single function, and are very inefficient, failing to meet the flexible flow requirements of the entire antenna reflector assembly process.

[0003] In the relevant prior art, a satellite three-axis polarity test transport and parking device (patent document CN114572428A) provides a satellite three-axis polarity test transport and parking device, which is used for attitude flipping during microsatellite polarity testing. Its satellite mounting plate is rigidly connected to the microsatellite, and the microsatellite is driven to change attitude by shaking the handwheel. However, when the satellite flips to a certain angle, there is the following technical problem: there is stress at the connection between the satellite mounting plate and the microsatellite, which cannot achieve flexible stress-free connection and retention function, and cannot be used for long-distance stress-free transportation and parking of high-precision antenna reflectors.

[0004] In summary, the transportation of antenna reflectors presents several challenges, including high risks, significant vibrations, assembly stress on the reflectors from tooling, difficulties in transferring them between factory workstations, and the vulnerability and difficulty in protecting the coated surface. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve the following requirements for antenna reflectors: stress-free storage during transport and placement, reliable long-distance vibration-damped transport, protection of the coated surface, and flexible transfer between factory workstations.
