The following will make specific description on each part. Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a multifunctional tool 100 for satellite AIT provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1, which shows that the multifunctional tool 100 for satellite AIT provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a base 10, a platform support 20, a satellite mounting platform 30, a hatchboard support assembly 40, a hoisting beam assembly 50, a castor 60, and an adjustable footing 70. The following will make specific description on each part.

[0034] The base 10 is a rectangular frame structure, which mainly provides a mounting base for the platform support 20.

[0035] As an example, the base 10 comprises two longitudinal beams 11, a plurality of cross beams 12, and two support plates 13. The two longitudinal beams 11 and the two cross beams 12 are connected end to end to form a closed rectangular frame, and the remaining cross beams 12 are connected between the two longitudinal beams 11 and are spaced along the length of the longitudinal beams 11 to divide the interior of the rectangular frame into a plurality of rectangular units. The two support plates 13 of matching size are embedded in the two rectangular units at the ends, the edges of the support plates 13 are connected with the surrounding longitudinal beams 11 and cross beams 12, and the support plates 13 serve as mounting bases for the platform pillars 20.

[0036] The platform pillars 20 are mounted on the top surface of the base 10, and the number is at least three, for mounting and supporting the satellite mounting platform 30. Specifically, the platform pillars 20 comprise at least two fixed pillars 21 and at least one rotating pillar 22. Among them, the lower end of the fixed pillar 21 is fixedly connected with the base 10, and the upper end of the fixed pillar 21 is rotatably connected with the satellite mounting platform 30. The lower end of the rotating pillar 22 is rotatably connected with the base 10, and the upper end of the rotating pillar 22 is detachably connected with the satellite mounting platform 30.

[0037] As an example, the platform pillars 20 comprise two fixed pillars 21 and one rotating pillar 22. The two fixed pillars 21 are both perpendicular to the base 10 and are spaced along the length of the cross beams 12, the lower end of each of the two fixed pillars 21 is fixed on one cross beam 12 close to one end of the longitudinal beam 11, and the upper end of each of the two fixed pillars 21 is mounted with a bearing 211, each bearing 211 is rotatably connected with one second connecting seat 33 on the bottom surface of the satellite mounting platform 30 through a rotating shaft, and the lower part of the side surface of each of the two fixed pillars 21 is mounted with a positioning block 212, which is used to fix the satellite mounting platform 30 with fasteners when the satellite mounting platform 30 is flipped to the vertical position. The length of the rotating pillar 22 is the same as that of the fixed pillar 21, the lower end of the rotating pillar 22 is rotatably connected with the support plate 13 close to the other end of the longitudinal beam 11 through a pin shaft and a first connecting seat 221, and is located on the vertical center line of the connecting line of the lower ends of the two fixed pillars 21, and the upper end of the rotating pillar 22 is detachably connected with an adapter seat 34 (see Figure 4 ) on the bottom surface of the satellite mounting platform 30 through fasteners. When the upper end of the rotating pillar 22 is connected with the adapter seat 34 on the bottom surface of the satellite mounting platform 30, the rotating pillar 22 is perpendicular to the base 10, and the rotating pillar 22 and the two fixed pillars 21 together support the satellite mounting platform 30; when the upper end of the rotating pillar 22 is detached from the adapter seat 34 on the bottom surface of the satellite mounting platform 30, the rotating pillar 22 can rotate in the vertical plane about the lower end.

[0038] The two fixed pillars 21 are the main support structure of the satellite mounting platform 30. In order to improve the structural stability of the two fixed pillars 21, a connecting beam 213 is connected between the two fixed pillars 21, and an inclined strut 214 is arranged on the side of each fixed pillar 21. The upper end of each inclined strut 214 is connected with the side of the fixed pillar 21, and the lower end of the inclined strut 214 is fixed on the base 10.

[0039] The satellite mounting platform 30 is used for mounting the cabin body 1 of the satellite. One end of the satellite mounting platform 30 is rotatably connected with the upper end of the fixed pillar 21, and the other end of the satellite mounting platform 30 is detachably connected with the upper end of the rotating pillar 22. When the satellite mounting platform 30 is detached from the upper end of the rotating pillar 22, the satellite mounting platform 30 can be flipped in a vertical plane about one end, which can be used for adjusting the attitude of the satellite.

[0040] As an example, the satellite mounting platform 30 includes a platform body 31, a plurality of cabin connecting plates 32, two second connecting seats 33, an adapter seat 34 (see Figure 4 ), and a platform handle 35. The platform body 31 is a rectangular plate body, and one cabin connecting plate 32 is mounted at each corner of the top surface of the platform body 31. The two second connecting seats 33 are mounted at one end of the length direction of the bottom surface of the platform body 31, and are rotatably connected with the bearing 211 of the upper end of the two fixed pillars 21 through the rotating shafts, respectively. The adapter seat 34 is mounted at the other end of the length direction of the bottom surface of the platform body 31, and is detachably connected with the upper end of the rotating pillar 22 through fasteners. The handle 35 is mounted at one end of the length direction of the platform body 31, and is mainly used for flipping the platform body 31, and is also used for cooperating with the casters 60 to operate the movement of the whole tooling. When the adapter seat 34 is connected with the upper end of the rotating pillar 22, the platform body 31 is supported by the rotating pillar 22 and the two fixed pillars, and is in a horizontal position. When the adapter seat 34 is detached from the upper end of the rotating pillar 22, the platform body 31 can be flipped in a vertical plane about the axis of the second connecting seat 33.

[0041] The cabin plate support assembly 40 is mounted on the side of the satellite mounting platform 30, and is used for supporting the cabin plate 3 when the satellite is opened.

[0042] As an example, the number of cabin plate support assemblies 40 is two, which are mounted on the two long sides (i.e. the sides where the long edges of the rectangle are located) of the platform body 31, respectively. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, each cabin support assembly 40 includes a tray 41, a first locking member 42, a cabin support member 43, and a limiting member 44. Each of the two long sides of the platform body 31 has a vertically extending groove into the interior of the platform body 31. The tray 41 is slidably installed in the groove along its extension direction. The tray 41 can slide into the groove and be hidden, or it can extend out of the groove to support the cabin 3. The first locking member 42 is a knob plunger, installed on the top surface of the platform body 31 and extending into the groove. The end of the tray 41 facing the groove has a first positioning hole (not shown in the figure). The first positioning hole is used to position and engage with the first locking member 42 when the tray 41 slides into the groove, locking the position of the tray 41. The end of the tray 41 facing out of the groove has a second positioning hole (not shown in the figure). The second positioning hole is used to position and engage with the first locking member 42 when the tray 41 extends out of the groove, locking the position of the tray 41. The first locking member 42 can also be installed on the bottom surface of the platform body 31. The cabin support member 43 is an elongated component. One end of the cabin support member 43 is rotatably connected to the end of the tray 41 facing outwards from the slide groove via a pivot. The cabin support member 43 can rotate around one end in a plane constructed by the vertical direction of the top surface of the platform body 31 and the sliding direction of the tray 41. The tray 41 has an elongated slot that can accommodate the cabin support member 43. When the cabin support member 43 rotates into the elongated slot, it can slide into the slide groove and be hidden along with the tray 41. A limiting member 44 is installed at the end of the tray 41 facing outwards from the slide groove to limit the rotational position of the cabin support member 43 and to fix the cabin support member 43 with fasteners when it rotates to the vertical direction of the top surface of the platform body 31.

[0043] Among them, when the panel support assembly 40 is not in use, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tray 41 and the deck support 43 are concealed together within the slide groove, and the first locking member 42 locks the position of the tray 41. When in use, the deck support assembly 40, as... Figure 2 As shown, first unscrew the first locking member 42 to release the lock on the tray 41. After pulling the tray 41 out of the groove into place, lock the position of the tray 41 again using the first locking member 42. Then, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the cabin support 43 is rotated to the vertical direction of the top surface of the platform body 31, so that the cabin support 43 is limited by the limiting member 44. Then, the cabin support 43 and the limiting member 44 are connected by fasteners to fix the position of the cabin support 43. At this time, the cabin support 43 can be used to support the cabin 3.

[0044] The lifting beam assembly 50 is installed on the side of the satellite mounting platform 30 for manually or in conjunction with lifting equipment to assist in the tilting of the satellite mounting platform 30.

[0045] As an example, the number of the beam assemblies 50 is two, which are installed on the two long sides of the platform body 31 respectively. As shown in Figure 4 each beam assembly 50 includes a beam 51, a sling connector 52, and a second locking member (not shown in the figure). One end of the beam 51 is rotatably connected to the long side of the platform body 31 through a rotating shaft, and the beam 51 can rotate around the one end in the plane of the platform body 31. The sling connector 52 is installed on the other end of the beam 51 and is used to connect the sling of the hoisting equipment. The second locking member is a screw pin, which is used to lock the position of the beam 51 when the beam 51 is rotated to be perpendicular to the long side of the platform body 31. The one end of the beam 51 and the platform body 31 are correspondingly provided with connecting holes for connecting with the second locking member.

[0046] When the beam assembly 50 is not used, as shown in Figure 1 the beam 51 is attached to the long side of the platform body 31 and is clamped by the buckle 36 provided on the long side. When the beam assembly 50 is used, as shown in Figure 4 the beam 51 is rotated to the position perpendicular to the long side of the platform body 31, and the position of the beam 51 is fixed by connecting the second locking member with the connecting holes on the one end of the beam 51 and the platform body 31. At this time, the beam 51 can be held by hand to assist the satellite installation platform 30 to be turned over, and the sling connector 52 can be connected with the sling of the hoisting equipment such as a trolley or a crane to assist the satellite installation platform 30 to be turned over.

[0047] The casters 60 are installed on the base 10 and are used to realize the moving function of the whole tooling. The casters 60 can be fixed casters or movable casters.

[0048] As an example, the casters 60 are movable casters, and the number is four. The four casters 60 are installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the base 10 respectively.

[0049] The adjustable feet 70 are installed on the base 10 and are used to adjust the levelness of the whole tooling.

[0050] As an example, the adjustable feet 70 are fine adjustment feet with micron-level adjustment accuracy, and the number is four. Two adjustable feet 70 are installed on each of the two longitudinal beams 11 of the base 10. As shown in Figure 2As shown, each adjustable footing 70 includes a screw rod base 71 mounted on the side of the longitudinal beam 11, a screw rod 72 threadedly connected to the screw rod base 71 and arranged in a vertical direction, an operating handle 73 mounted on the upper end of the screw rod 72, a locking nut 74 mounted on the screw rod 72, and a foot pad 75 mounted on the lower end of the screw rod 72. In use, the locking nut 74 is loosened, the screw rod 72 is rotated by operating the handle 73, and the position of the base 10 in the vertical direction is adjusted. When the adjustment is completed, the locking nut 74 is tightened.

[0051] The multifunctional tool 100 for satellite AIT can be used for satellite cabin opening support, and can meet the requirement of placing the movable cabin plate 3 horizontally in the satellite AIT stage.

[0052] As an example, the structure of the satellite installed on the tool is as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the satellite mounting platform 30 is in a horizontal position under the support of the fixed support column 21 and the rotating support column 22, and the cabin body 1 of the satellite is connected to the cabin connecting plate 32 of the satellite mounting platform 30 through the cabin adapter 2. Before opening the cabin of the satellite, for each cabin plate support assembly 40, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the first locking member 42 is first unlocked to release the locking of the tray 41, the tray 41 is pulled out to the position from the sliding groove, and then the position of the tray 41 is locked by the first locking member 42. Then, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the cabin plate support member 43 is rotated to be perpendicular to the top surface of the platform body 31, the cabin plate support member 43 is limited by the limiting member 44, and then the cabin plate support member 43 and the limiting member 44 are connected by the fastening member to fix the position of the cabin plate support member 43. At this time, the upper end of the cabin plate support member 43 can be used to support the cabin plate 3. For the cabin plate 3 that needs to be opened, the screw connecting the cabin plate 3 and the cabin body 1 is removed, the hinge 4 is installed, and the cabin plate 3 is rotatable through the hinge 4. When the satellite is opened, the cabin plate 3 is rotated to be horizontally placed on the cabin plate support member 43, and the cabin plate support member 43 realizes the opening support function and can be applied to single machine installation, whole satellite wiring, cabin opening test, etc.

[0053] The multifunctional tool 100 for satellite AIT can be used for satellite attitude adjustment, and can meet the requirement of satellite attitude adjustment for sail plate unfolding test. The satellite attitude adjustment includes satellite attitude manual adjustment, hoisting equipment assisted attitude adjustment, and satellite attitude precise adjustment.

[0054] As an example, the initial attitude of the satellite is as shown in Figure 6 As shown, the satellite mounting platform 30 is in a horizontal position under the support of the fixed support column 21 and the rotating support column 22, and the cabin body 1 of the satellite is connected to the cabin connecting plate 32 of the satellite mounting platform 30 through the cabin adapter 2, in a horizontal attitude. When it is required to adjust the satellite from the horizontal attitude to the vertical attitude, as shown inFigure 4 As shown, first, the hanger beam 51 of each hanger beam assembly 50 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the long side of the platform body 31, and the position of the hanger beam 51 is fixed by the second locking member, then, the adapter 34 of the satellite mounting platform 30 is detached from the upper end of the rotating column 22, and then, the satellite attitude can be adjusted by manual or hoisting equipment. For a satellite with a small mass (for example, less than 80 kg), the satellite attitude can be adjusted manually, specifically, two workers stand on both sides of the satellite mounting platform 30, hold one hanger beam 51 respectively, and gently put it down, and another worker presses the handle 35 of the satellite mounting platform 30 downward and gently lifts it upward, as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 5 As shown, when the satellite mounting platform 30 is turned down to the vertical position, the satellite mounting platform 30 and the positioning block 212 are connected by the fastener to fix the position of the satellite mounting platform 30.
