Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of small satellite assembly equipment, and in particular relates to a switching tool used for a 180-degree unfolding test of a small satellite solar wing. Background Art

[0002] When a small satellite conducts a solar panel deployment test, the satellite usually has two states: vertical and horizontal. The vertical state only requires the small satellite to be placed on a horizontal parking bracket, while the horizontal state requires a two-axis turntable to flip the small satellite into a horizontal state for the test.

[0003] When a small satellite uses a two-axis turntable to conduct a solar wing deployment test, the deployed state of the small satellite's solar wing panels is usually 90 degrees perpendicular to the satellite's side panels. In this way, when the solar wing is deployed, it is only necessary to ensure that there is no interference within the 90-degree deployment range of the solar wing panels.

[0004] However, with the development and changes of small satellites, the unfolded state of the solar wing panels of some small satellites is 180 degrees parallel to the satellite side panels. During the unfolding process, the solar wing panels will unfold 180 degrees. Therefore, when the solar wing is unfolded, it is necessary to ensure that there is no interference within the 180-degree unfolding range of the solar wing panels. However, when the existing two-axis turntable is in the flipped state, its support frame will interfere with the 180-degree unfolded state of the solar wing panels, which does not meet the requirements of the solar wing unfolding test. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by the utility model is: to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a transfer fixture for a small satellite solar wing 180-degree deployment test. The transfer fixture is installed on an existing two-axis turntable to meet the requirement that there is no interference within the 180-degree deployment range of the solar wing wall panel when the solar wing is subjected to a 180-degree deployment test.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a transfer tooling for a 180-degree deployment test of a small satellite solar wing, comprising a transfer platform and a transfer ring;

[0007] Two circles of small satellite interfaces are symmetrically arranged on the transfer platform; an operation hole is arranged at the center of the transfer platform;

[0008] The upper and lower end surfaces of the adapter ring are respectively provided with a plurality of through holes evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The adapter ring is connected to the adapter platform through the lower through holes and docked with the small satellite through the upper through holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the middle part of the transfer platform is a rectangular plate, and the two sides are semicircular plates, and the diameter of the semicircular plate is the side of the middle rectangular plate; the two circles of small satellite interfaces are through holes, which are distributed circumferentially with the center of the semicircular plates on both sides as the center.

[0010] Furthermore, the center distance of the pitch circles of the two circles of small satellite interfaces is adjusted according to the interference between the small satellite solar panels and the two-axis turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, the height of the adapter ring is adjusted according to the size of the small satellite.

[0012] Furthermore, the adapter tooling for the 180-degree deployment test of a small satellite solar wing also includes eye screws, which are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the adapter platform.

[0013] The advantages of the utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0014] The utility model provides a transfer tool for a small satellite solar wing 180-degree deployment test, which creates conditions for a small satellite solar wing to perform a 180-degree deployment test. By installing the transfer tool on an existing two-axis turntable, the requirement of no interference within the 180-degree deployment range of the solar wing wall panel can be met when the solar wing performs a 180-degree deployment test.
