TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of antenna automation testing, and particularly relates to a Ka phased array antenna hot vacuum test automatic testing system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the research and verification process of a Ka phased array antenna, a hot vacuum environment test is a necessary link for evaluating the space environment adaptability. The test verifies the core technical indexes such as the radio frequency performance and beam pointing accuracy of the antenna by simulating the extreme temperature cycle and high vacuum condition of the on-orbit operation of a spacecraft.
[0003] In the prior art, the preparation work before the test, especially the interface docking between the test equipment and the Ka phased array antenna to be tested, usually completely depends on manual operation. The test personnel need to manually complete the connection of the radio frequency cable, the control signal cable and the temperature measurement signal cable at the special sealed interface of the hot vacuum tank. This process not only requires accurate matching of multiple groups of high-frequency radio frequency connectors of different specifications, such as 2.92mm or 1.85mm interfaces, but also needs to connect the control and sensing lines at the same time.
[0004] This traditional manual wiring method has inherent limitations. Since the multi-channel phased array antenna has a large number of interfaces, manual connection one by one will consume a lot of time, significantly prolong the preparation period of a single test, and thus directly restricts the overall throughput of the test, which is difficult to meet the test needs of mass production. In addition, manual operation in the docking of precision radio frequency connectors is difficult to guarantee consistency in the force of insertion and the accuracy of alignment. The operation deviation will cause signal transmission loss, affect the accuracy of test data, and even cause physical damage to the connector, resulting in test interruption. The whole test process highly depends on manual intervention, and the links are not closely connected, and there is a lack of integrated automatic solution. SUMMARY

[0022] Specifically, the support frame 2 provides a stable structural basis for the entire system. The thermal vacuum chamber 1 is used to build a closed physical space to isolate the external environment and simulate a specific space environment. In order to realize environment simulation, a vacuum mechanism is used to extract the gas in the thermal vacuum chamber 1 to form a high vacuum state, and a temperature control device 38 is used to accurately adjust and cyclically control the temperature inside the chamber. The base 7 serves as a reference platform inside the chamber and is used to carry and fix subsequent automated devices. The electric guide rail 8 serves as a set of precise linear conveying units, which drive the sliding seat 10 to move back and forth along a predetermined trajectory, thereby conveying the phased array antenna body 34 to be tested to the test station or the initial station. The sliding seat 10 serves as a mobile carrying platform, on which a fixing mechanism is specially arranged to reliably clamp and fix the phased array antenna body 34, so as to ensure the stability of its posture during movement and docking. The phased array antenna body 34 is the target object of this test, and the multiple interfaces 35 integrated thereon are physical connection points for realizing the transmission of electrical signals and radio frequency signals. The plug-in mechanism is a core automated execution unit, and its overall function is to realize the automatic and accurate docking and separation of the test connectors and the antenna interfaces. In the mechanism, the sliding rail 21 provides an accurate guide path for the movement of the connecting seat 24; the electric push rod 22 serves as a power source for generating a controllable linear pushing and pulling force to drive the connecting seat 24 to complete the forward insertion and backward extraction actions; the connecting seat 24 serves as an integrated connector array head for uniformly loading and positioning multiple connectors 28, ensuring that they can be matched as a whole with the antenna interface 35 array; the connector 28 is the end execution member directly inserted with the interface 35, and the signal is transmitted to the test mechanism through the cable 27; the torque sensing module 33 is a key monitoring and feedback element, which aims to sense the physical force and torque generated during the insertion of the connector 28 and the interface 35 in real time, and feed back the data to the control system to prevent damage to the precision connectors caused by overload or misalignment. Finally, the test mechanism is used to automatically scan and measure the various radio frequency performance indicators of the antenna after connection.
[0023] Please refer to the accompanying Figure 6 and the accompanying Figure 7 , the fixing mechanism includes a mounting seat 9 and a motor 19, the motor 19 is fixedly connected outside the inner wall of the mounting seat 9, the bottom of the mounting seat 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding seat 10, two sliding grooves 13 are formed in the inside of the mounting seat 9, two sliding rods 14 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 13, a moving plate 15 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rods 14, a clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 15, a rotating disc 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 19, a rotating rod 17 is arranged between the rotating disc 18 and the moving plate 15, and a guide mechanism is arranged outside the mounting seat 9.
[0024] Specifically, the mounting base 9 provides the overall structural framework and mounting reference for the fixture. The motor 19 serves as the power source for the fixture, and its purpose is to provide controllable rotary motion to drive the entire clamping action. The rotating disc 18 is used to convert the rotary output of the motor 19 into an eccentric circular motion. The rotating rod 17 serves as a key transmission link, and its role is to convert the circular motion of the rotating disc 18 into the linear reciprocating motion of the moving plate 15. This rotary-to-linear motion conversion mechanism is the core of the automated clamping. The slide rod 14 and the slide groove 13 together form a set of precise linear guide pairs, and their purpose is to constrain the moving plate 15 to move smoothly along the pre-set axis direction, so as to ensure the accuracy and repeatability of the clamping action. The moving plate 15 is the direct executor of the clamping action, and the clamping plate 16 installed on it is used to finally contact and apply clamping force to the phased array antenna body 34.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, two opposite moving plates 15 and clamping plates 16 can be provided, driven by the motor 19 through symmetrical transmission mechanisms such as left and right screw rods or gear and rack mechanisms, to realize bidirectional synchronous clamping, so as to ensure that the phased array antenna body 34 can be automatically centered. In addition, the surface of the clamping plate 16 in contact with the antenna is preferably covered with a flexible material such as polytetrafluoroethylene or rubber of a specific hardness, which is to provide sufficient friction while preventing the antenna body from being scratched or damaged due to excessive clamping force. Therefore, by starting and stopping and forward and reverse rotation control of the motor 19, the clamping plate 16 can be driven to complete the automatic clamping or loosening of the antenna. In addition, the guide mechanism is provided to provide preliminary alignment assistance when placing the antenna, so as to ensure that the antenna can be smoothly placed within the working range of the clamping plate 16 Please refer to the attached Figure 5 The guide mechanism includes a plurality of connecting rods 12, two of which are fixedly connected at one end to the outside of the mounting base 9, and a tapered guide opening 11 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 12, and the outside of the tapered guide opening 11 is arranged outside the interface 35.
[0026] Specifically, the tapered guide port 11 is the core component to realize the guiding function, which provides an initial alignment capture range for the incoming connector 28 by using the tapered geometry of its inner wall from wide to narrow. Even if there is a slight translational or angular deviation between the connector 28 and the interface 35, when the connector 28 enters the wide end of the tapered guide port 11, the inclined surface of its inner wall will force the connector 28 to automatically correct its posture and converge towards the center during its continued advancement, ultimately guiding it accurately to the rear antenna interface 35, ensuring smooth and reliable plugging process and avoiding damage caused by collision. The multiple connecting rods 12 serve as support and positioning structures, which are intended to firmly fix the tapered guide port 11 in the pre-set position, ensuring a constant and precise relative positional relationship between it and the antenna interface 35, providing stable structural support for the realization of the guiding function.
[0027] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 8 The test mechanism includes multiple support rods 36, the top of which is fixedly connected with two Y-axis linear modules 29, between which an X-axis linear module 30 is arranged, the outer side of which is provided with a Z-axis linear module 31, and the outer side of the Z-axis linear module 31 is provided with a tester 32.
[0028] Specifically, the multiple support rods 36 serve as the stable base of the entire mechanism, which is intended to provide a vibration-free load platform reaching the predetermined working height for the multi-axis motion system. The two Y-axis linear modules 29 and the X-axis linear module 30 installed thereon jointly constitute a two-dimensional plane positioning system, which is intended to realize the free movement of the tester 32 in the horizontal plane; specifically, the Y-axis linear module 29 is used to provide the first dimension of motion stroke, while the X-axis linear module 30 is used to provide the second dimension of motion stroke perpendicular to the first one, and the two work together to accurately position the tester 32 to any plane coordinate point above the antenna to be tested. The Z-axis linear module 31 is used to provide the third dimension of motion in the vertical direction, which is intended to accurately adjust the scanning distance between the probe of the tester 32 and the surface of the antenna. Finally, the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate motion system composed of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis linear modules 30, 29 and 31 is intended to drive the tester 32 as the end measurement unit to move in the pre-set three-dimensional space following a complex scanning path, thereby realizing the full-range and multi-point automatic data collection of the performance indicators of the phased array antenna such as the near-field distribution and the far-field pattern.
[0029] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 The vacuum assembly includes a vacuum pump 5 installed on the top of the support frame 2, and a vacuum tube 6 fixedly connected to the outer side of the vacuum pump 5, and the end of the vacuum tube 6 away from the vacuum pump 5 is fixedly connected to the top and middle side of the hot vacuum box 1.
[0030] Specifically, the vacuum pump 5 is the main active component to realize this function, which aims to reduce the pressure inside the hot vacuum chamber 1 to a specific vacuum level by continuously pumping out the air or other gas molecules, so as to accurately simulate the high vacuum environment in which the spacecraft is running in orbit, which is one of the key physical environmental parameters to ensure the effectiveness of the test. The vacuum pipe 6 is used to build a sealed and reliable gas transmission link between the vacuum pump 5 and the hot vacuum chamber 1, which ensures that the pumping efficiency generated by the vacuum pump 5 can be delivered to the hot vacuum chamber 1 without loss and pollution, ensuring the efficiency and cleanliness of the entire vacuum pumping process.
[0031] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -attached Figure 8 The control panel 37 is arranged on the outer side of the support frame 2, the chamber door 4 is arranged on the left side of the hot vacuum chamber 1, the observation window 3 is installed on the inner wall of the hot vacuum chamber 1, the sliding block 26 is slidingly connected to the outer side of the slide rail 21, the sliding seat 10 is slidingly connected to the outer side of the slide rail 21, the rotating rod 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving plate 15 at one end, and the rotating rod 17 is rotatably connected to the top edge of the rotating disc 18 at the other end, characterized in that the cable 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the tester 32 away from the connector 28.
[0032] Specifically, the control panel 37 is used to provide a man-machine interaction interface for the operator, which aims to set the test parameters, start or stop the automatic process, and monitor the running state of the system in real time. The chamber door 4 is used to provide a sealable physical channel, which is used to facilitate the operator to load and take out the phased array antenna body 34 to be tested, and to ensure that the internal environment of the hot vacuum chamber 1 is isolated from the outside world when closed. The observation window 3 is arranged to monitor and confirm the running process of the internal automatic mechanism in real time without destroying the vacuum and temperature conditions in the chamber. In terms of internal movement mechanism, the sliding block 26 and the sliding seat 10 can slide on the slide rail 21, which is designed to give the plug-in mechanism and the fixing mechanism the ability to move accurately along the predetermined path, thereby realizing the automatic docking of the interface and the accurate positioning of the antenna. The rotating connection of the rotating rod 17 at both ends constitutes the key of motion conversion, which acts as a movable pivot to effectively convert the rotary motion of the rotating disc 18 into the linear motion of the moving plate 15, and then drive the opening and closing of the clamping mechanism. Finally, the cable 27 establishes a stable electric signal transmission link from the connector 28 to the tester 32, which is dedicated to carrying high-frequency test signals and is the physical basis for accurately measuring the radio frequency performance of the antenna.
[0033] Working principle: The operator first puts the phased array antenna body 34 to be tested on the fixing mechanism through the door 4 of the hot vacuum box 1. Then, the motor 19 in the fixing mechanism starts to drive the rotating disc 18 to rotate, and the moving plate 15 moves on the slide rod 14 through the rotating rod 17 linkage, so that the clamping plate 16 on the top of the moving plate 15 automatically clamps and fixes the phased array antenna body 34, completing the installation process. The whole process can be monitored through the observation window 3 on the hot vacuum box 1.
[0034] After the phased array antenna body 34 is fixed and the door 4 is closed, the operator starts the system through the external control panel 37. First, the vacuum component starts to work, and the vacuum pump 5 installed on the support frame 2 pumps the inside of the hot vacuum box 1 through the vacuum pipe 6 to simulate the vacuum environment in space. At the same time, the temperature control device 38 installed in the hot vacuum box 1 starts to work, and according to the preset test program, the temperature in the box is accurately adjusted to simulate the extreme high and low temperature cycle environment experienced by the spacecraft in orbit.
[0035] After the hot vacuum environment is stable, the system enters the core automatic docking link.
[0036] Antenna positioning: The two electric guide rails 8 installed on the base 7 start to work, driving the sliding seat 10 to move. Since the phased array antenna body 34 is fixed on the sliding seat 10, this step can accurately transport the antenna to the predetermined test station.
[0037] Automatic plug-in and pull-out of interface: The plug-in and pull-out mechanism on the base 7 starts to work. The electric push rod 22 starts to work, and its output end pushes the connecting plate 23 and the connecting seat 24 to move along the slide rail 21 towards the phased array antenna body 34. In order to ensure the accuracy of the docking process, the conical guide hole 11 arranged on the outer side of the antenna interface 35 plays a key guiding role in this link. A plurality of connectors 28 matched with the antenna interface 35 are installed on the connecting seat 24. During the movement, the connectors 28 are accurately aligned with the multiple interfaces 35 of the antenna, and finally the plug-in is completed. In order to prevent the precise interface from being damaged due to excessive force or alignment deviation, the torque sensing module 33 installed in the inner wall of the fixed plate 25 will monitor the force and torque in the plug-in process in real time, realize closed-loop feedback control, and ensure the accuracy and safety of the docking.
[0038] After the interface docking is completed, the test mechanism starts to perform the test task. The cable 27 connected to the connector 28 transmits the signal to the tester 32. The tester 32 can move in three-dimensional space under the coordinated driving of the X-axis linear module 30, the Y-axis linear module 29 and the Z-axis linear module 31, so as to automatically scan and measure the various radio frequency performance indicators of the antenna such as beam pointing accuracy, gain, etc. The test data is collected in real time and can be transmitted to the external MES system to realize data tracing and management.
[0039] After the test procedure is completed, the system automatically performs the reverse operation. First, the electric push rod 22 moves in reverse, smoothly pulling the connecting seat 24 and the joint 28 out of the antenna interface 35. Then, the electric guide rail 8 drives the sliding seat 10 to send the phased array antenna body 34 back to the initial position. Finally, the system releases the vacuum and temperature control state, and after the normal temperature and pressure are restored in the hot vacuum box 1, the operator can open the box door 4, loosen the clamping plate 16 by reversing the motor 19, and remove the antenna that has completed the test.
