The terms "include" or "contain" and the like mean that the elements appearing before the word mean to cover the elements listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements.
[0045] The accompanying drawings are referred to in the following description of the present application. Figure 1 The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail.
[0046] The present application is a GNSS occultation detection payload quick-release mounting bracket for micro-nano satellites, which comprises a base 1, a V-shaped groove 11, a threaded hole 12, a limiting boss 13, an elastic compression arm 2, a pressure head 21, a silicone rubber pad 22, a first clamping groove 23, a second clamping groove 24, a first self-locking buckle 3, a first locking tongue 31, a first button 32, a second self-locking buckle 6, a second locking tongue 61, a second button 62, a first bracket 63, a third self-locking buckle 7, a third locking tongue 71, a third button 72, a second bracket 73, a positioning pin 4 and a payload 5.
[0047] The base 1 is mounted on the satellite platform, the payload 5 is slid into the V-shaped groove 11 for Y-direction and Z-direction positioning, the limiting boss 13 and the first self-locking buckle 3 are used for X-direction positioning of the payload 5, and the second self-locking buckle 6 and the third self-locking buckle 7 are used for locking the elastic compression arm 2 to position the payload 5 in the Z-direction.
[0048] Preferably, the V-shaped groove 11 is two grooves parallel to each other at an angle of 90°, the groove bottom is provided with a chip removal chamfer, and the groove surface roughness Ra is ≤0.8 μm, which realizes automatic centering, eliminates over-constraint, homogenizes errors, and has strong universality.
[0049] The chip removal chamfer prevents interference, making the assembly smooth, and the groove surface roughness Ra≤0.8 μm reduces the friction coefficient and improves the positioning stability.
[0050] Preferably, the elastic compression arm 2 is a cantilever beam structure and is integrally milled and formed with the base 1, the pressure head 21 is bonded with the silicone rubber pad 22 at the contact position of the payload 5, no additional spring parts are needed, the compression force is stable and controllable, assembly errors are eliminated, the structural rigidity is doubled, and the silicone rubber pad 22 bonded at the contact position of the pressure head 21 protects the surface of the payload 5.
[0051] Preferably, the self-locking buckle adopts a press type structure, the locking tongue stroke is 3-5 mm, the pressing force is 15-20 N, and the T-shaped nut or screw is fixed to the side surface and the front end of the base 1.
[0052] The lock tongue stroke of 3-5 mm is the optimal interval for the aerospace quick connection mechanism. A stroke that is too short (<2 mm) can easily lead to insufficient locking, and under 14.1 grms random vibration, it can easily be loosened. A stroke that is too long (>8 mm) increases the operation time.
[0053] After being enlarged by the lever mechanism, the 15-20 N pressing force generates a 30-40 N locking force at the end of the lock tongue, which perfectly matches the 30 N springback force of the elastic compression arm 2. At this time, the lock is in a "self-locking critical state" - the static friction force (μ=0.15) can resist 4-6 N dynamic shear force under vibration, and only the spring force needs to be overcome to unlock under manual pressing, realizing the ideal characteristics of "self-locking during work and easy disassembly during maintenance".
[0054] Preferably, the positioning pin 4 is a cylindrical pin, the bottom surface of the convex load 5 forms a double-line contact with the V-shaped groove 11, the matching gap is 0.02-0.05 mm, the lower limit of the gap is 0.02 mm, which ensures that it can be easily slid in under a 15 N pushing force (friction force is about 3 N), avoiding jamming, while limiting the inclination angle of the load 5 to be <0.05°, ensuring the normal accuracy of the GNSS antenna, and the upper limit of the gap is 0.05 mm, under 14.1 grms random vibration, the maximum sliding amount of the load 5 is less than the gap value, and it will not collide with the groove wall of the V-shaped groove 11, avoiding micro-discharge or abrasive contamination.
[0055] Preferably, a suspension gap of 1.0±0.2 mm is reserved between the bottom surface of the load 5 and the top surface of the base 1, which is borne by the positioning pin 4, eliminating the mismatch stress of thermal expansion, and the positioning pin 4 becomes the only heat conduction path. The slender ratio of the pin causes it to produce a slight bending under thermal deformation rather than rigid shearing, further reducing the thermal stress by 70%. This design is similar to the hinge of a satellite solar cell panel, realizing "rigid positioning and flexible thermal decoupling".
[0056] 1.0±0.2 mm gap allows the following errors without affecting the function:
[0057] Positioning pin 4 height tolerance ±0.05 mm
[0058] Elastic compression arm 2 height tolerance ±0.1 mm
[0059] Silicone rubber pad 22 compression amount variation ±0.3 mm
[0060] The total assembly tolerance is ±0.45 mm, the assembly qualification rate is improved from 90% to 99.5%, avoiding expensive repair costs.
[0061] Preferably, the base 1 is a hollow aluminum alloy frame structure, the overall weight is not more than 100g, accounting for 3%-5% of the total weight of the load 5, reducing the transportation cost, the hollow design can accurately adjust the mass distribution, so that the centroid of the support deviates from the center of the V-shaped groove 11 by <0.5mm, when the satellite attitude is maneuvered (0.5° / s), the inertia moment is <0.01N·m, which does not affect the satellite attitude control accuracy.
[0062] Preferably, the elastic compression arm 2 provides an elastic compression force of 5-10N, which can compensate for thermal deformation of 0.1-0.3mm in the temperature range of -40°C to +80°C;
[0063] The shell of the GNSS occultation load 5 is mostly magnesium alloy (MB8) or carbon fiber composite material, with a wall thickness of only 2.0-2.5mm, and a traditional compression force of 30-50N will cause stress concentration σ=150-250MPa on the contact surface, close to the yield strength of magnesium alloy (83MPa) or the interlaminar shear strength of carbon fiber (50MPa), which is easy to cause micro-cracks, and the 5-10N stress is only 25-50MPa, the shell deformation is <0.01mm, ensuring that the internal GNSS receiver antenna, crystal oscillator and other precision components are not affected by external force;
[0064] Excessive compression force will change the dynamic characteristics of the PCB board of the load 5, causing frequency deviation and phase noise deterioration of the crystal oscillator, and the additional stiffness of 5-10N to the PCB board is <5%, the actual measured GNSS L1 frequency band phase noise deterioration is <0.1dB, and the occultation data signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) remains above 42dB, meeting the EUMETSAT standard;
[0065] The 0.1-0.3mm compensation range covers 99.7% of the working conditions, and the design redundancy is sufficient, which can not only compensate for the expansion at high temperature (the gap increases from 1.0mm to 1.14mm), but also compensate for the contraction at low temperature (to 0.86mm), and the elastic stroke of the cantilever beam is 5-8mm, of which 0.1-0.3mm is used for thermal compensation, and the remaining is used for assembly tolerance, the function is reasonably divided, and overdesign is avoided;
[0066] In the range of -40°C~+80°C, the compression force is stable at 6.2-9.8N, ensuring constant connection stiffness.
[0067] Preferably, the base 1 bottom surface is provided with a threaded hole or flange interface connected with the satellite platform, suitable for 1-5 kg level micro-nano satellite GNSS occultation detection payload, the threaded hole has universality, more preferably M5 or M4 standard threaded hole (4-6, evenly distributed on the four corners of the base), hole distance conforms to CubeSat standard (such as P-POD 3U / 6U deployer) or domestic micro-nano satellite platform general specification (such as Q / W 1065-2018), can be directly installed on the satellite adapter of Blue Origin Zhuque-2, Xinghe Power Valley Shenxing-1 rocket, without repeated design of adapter plate, single satellite development cycle is shortened by 2-3 weeks.
[0068] The flange interface can be quickly switched for the ultra-small load 5 of 1-1.5 kg, and the base 1 bottom surface can be pre-installed with an ISO 9409-1 flange interface (Φ31.5mm or Φ50mm), which can be mechanically / electrically integrated with the satellite platform within 10 seconds. Compared with the traditional distributed interface (mechanical+electrical connector independent), the assembly time is compressed from 4 hours to 15 minutes.
