Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spacecraft attitude technology, and in particular to an autonomous identification method for the additional stiffness of cables between two-stage platforms based on flexible connections. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, large high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites have extremely high control performance requirements. These satellites are large inertial satellites with multiple large flexible attachments, low and dense modal frequencies, and severe coupling between rigid, flexible and fluid components. The contradiction between the agile maneuvering "fast start and fast stop" and the ultra-high resolution imaging "fast and stable, ultra-precise and ultra-stable" control is prominent. Traditional control methods that rely solely on the satellite platform level are insufficient to meet the extremely high performance requirements. Therefore, a three-super platform with rapid pointing adjustment, disturbance compensation and vibration isolation was designed between the satellite platform and the payload. Various on-board interferences are eliminated centrally at the payload mounting point to improve the "fast, stable and accurate" performance indicators.
[0003] Because the satellite platform and the payload are connected via a flexible triple-platform, and the connection stiffness of the triple-platform is generally low with a frequency of about 1 to 2 Hz, the cables connecting the satellite platform and the payload across the triple-platform will increase the stiffness of the triple-platform actuator itself as additional stiffness, thus affecting the triple-platform control performance indicators.
[0004] Therefore, to address the above shortcomings, a method for autonomously identifying the additional stiffness of cables between two-level platforms based on flexible connections is needed. Summary of the Invention

This method is based on a structure where a load and a satellite platform are connected by several triple-platform actuators. Each triple-platform actuator includes a flexible spring-damped passive element, a voice coil motor active element, and an eddy current sensor. The method includes the following steps: Ⅰ. In the absence of cable connection, the voice coil motors in each actuator sequentially output sinusoidal excitation. And the motion displacement is obtained by measuring the eddy current sensor. ; II.

[0011] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0012] An autonomous identification method for the additional stiffness of cables between two-level platforms based on flexible connections, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the structure is based on a triple-platform actuator, a payload, and a satellite platform. The payload is an optical system used for high-quality imaging of the target. The satellite platform mainly supports the triple-platform and the payload. The triple-platform is installed between the payload and the satellite platform, with its upper plane connected to the payload and its lower plane connected to the satellite platform. The triple-platform consists of six or eight actuators, each containing three parts installed in parallel: a flexible spring-damped passive element, a voice coil motor active element, and an eddy current sensor. The voice coil motor drives the axial movement of the actuator, and the eddy current sensor measures the axial displacement of the actuator. Cables connecting the satellite platform and the payload are connected in parallel with the triple-platform actuators. Each triple-platform actuator includes a flexible spring-damped passive element, a voice coil motor active element, and an eddy current sensor.
[0013] The method specifically includes the following steps: I. In a wireless state, apply sinusoidal excitation with specific parameters to each actuator sequentially. Simultaneously, the motion displacement is measured using an eddy current sensor. Taking a three-dimensional platform consisting of eight actuators as an example, sinusoidal excitation... Represented as: in, This refers to the number of actuators, which is 8 in this case. The amplitude of the sinusoidal excitation is preferably 20N; The frequency of the sinusoidal excitation is preferably 0.04 Hz; To be based on sampling period Increasing time variable, optimal sampling period The duration is 10ms and the time is 50s. II. Based on the sinusoidal excitation value output by the voice coil motor Motion displacement values obtained by eddy current sensor measurement Calculate the actuator stiffness measurement at the current time. Specifically: in ~ ; Then calculate the deviation between the measured value and the estimated value. : Corrected estimate : in, For the filter coefficients, the preferred values are... or ; The result The actuator stiffness is determined at the current time.
[0014] III. By continuously iterating based on the above formula, the actuator stiffness identification value can be obtained. .
[0015] IV. Simulation verification of the method: Substitute the preferred specific parameters from step I into the sinusoidal excitation. The calculation formula calculates the output force obtained by the voice coil motors of the eight actuators, i.e., the sinusoidal excitation. , to obtain Figure 3 The output force results in the wireless state are shown, and as follows Figure 5 The output force result is shown in the wired state. The subsequent output is as follows: Figure 4 The identification results of the stiffness of the eight actuators in the wireless state are shown, with a value of approximately 40,000 N / m; and as shown... Figure 6 The identification results of the equivalent stiffness of the eight actuators in the wired state are shown, with a value of approximately 47500 N / m. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The obtained actuator stiffness results are summarized in Table 1. The additional stiffness of a single actuator caused by the cable can be calculated as follows: Table 1. Statistical Table of Cable Additional Stiffness Identification Results Table 1 shows that the values of the actuator's intrinsic stiffness and equivalent stiffness are relatively concentrated with minimal fluctuations, indicating that the actuators themselves are of good quality and the data obtained for verification is reliable. Although the calculated additional stiffness varies considerably between actuators, field verification indicates that this is due to differences in cable length and deformation. Table 2 is obtained after adjusting the cables for "uniformity". Table 2 Statistical Table of Additional Stiffness Identification Results After Cable Adjustment Comparing the results of the additional stiffness changes in Tables 1 and 2, it is shown that the additional stiffness calculated by this method can indeed represent the influence of the cable on the actuator, thus demonstrating the accuracy of this method.
[0016] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
