[0061] In this embodiment, the signal collector 3 can be implemented by a contact switch.

[0062] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the utility model, the spring limiting device 5 includes: a movable limiting rod 51, a first compression spring 52 and a lever 53.

[0064] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the utility model, the guide groove 1a1 includes: a vertical guide portion 1a11 and a horizontal guide portion 1a12 connected to the vertical guide portion 1a11; in this embodiment, the upper end of the vertical guide portion 1a11 has an opening at the upper end of the side wall of the first mounting groove 1a; wherein the horizontal guide portion 1a12 is connected to the lower end of the vertical guide portion 1a11. In this embodiment, the vertical guide part 1a11 is provided to guide the vertical movement of the lever 53, thereby controlling the compression degree of the first compression spring 52, and the horizontal guide part 1a12 is provided to limit the position of the lever 53, so as to ensure the stable pressure on the first compression spring 52. Specifically, when the movable limit rod 51 is moved downward into position by the lever 53, the lever 53 can be rotated into the horizontal guide part 1a12 by horizontally moving the lever 53, and then under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first compression spring 52, the lever 53 is stably supported on the upper side of the horizontal guide part 1a12, so as to achieve stable control of the compression degree of the first compression spring 52.

[0065] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the utility model, a limiting groove 1a13 is provided at one end of the horizontal guide portion 1a12 away from the vertical guide portion 1a11; in this embodiment, the limiting groove 1a13 is arranged to be connected to the horizontal guide portion 1a12, and the limiting groove 1a13 extends in an upward direction.

In this embodiment, the travel switch limit top cap 43 is a cylindrical structure as a whole, and a radially enlarged protrusion is provided on its upper end.

[0070] In this embodiment, the spring coefficient of the second compression spring 42 is smaller than the spring coefficient of the first compression spring 52. Since the installation position of the signal collector 3 in the cubic star body 2 is fixed, the second compression spring 42 can be compressed. In addition, by setting the spring coefficient of the second compression spring 42 to be smaller than the spring coefficient of the first compression spring 52, the spring limit device 5 and the travel switch 4 can have the same elastic pressure, and under the action of the same elastic pressure, the compression lengths of the first compression spring 52 and the second compression spring 42 are different, that is, there is a difference in deformation, and the first compression spring 52 with a smaller compression stroke can achieve control of the larger compression stroke of the second compression spring 42, and the sensitivity of the travel switch 4 can be effectively detected by the first compression spring 52 with a smaller stroke.

[0071] Combination Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the utility model, a mounting cavity 2a for mounting a signal collector 3 and a travel switch 4 is provided at the bottom of the cubic star body 2; in this embodiment, the mounting cavity 2a includes: a first cavity portion 2a1 and a second cavity portion 2a2 which are connected to each other; wherein, from top to bottom, the second cavity portion 2a2 is sequentially connected to the first cavity portion 2a1. In this embodiment, the signal collector 3 is installed in the second cavity portion 2a2; the travel switch 4 is movably installed in the first cavity portion 2a1. In this embodiment, the conducting arm 31 is arranged opposite to the first cavity portion 2a1.

[0072] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the first cavity portion 2a1 is matched with the cross-sectional shape of the travel switch limit top block 41, so that the travel switch limit top block 41 can slide back and forth in the first cavity portion 2a1. In this embodiment, the radial dimension of the protrusion at the upper end of the travel switch limit top cap 43 is larger than the cross-sectional shape of the first cavity portion 2a1, so as to limit the escape of the travel switch limit top cap 43 through the first cavity portion 2a1, thereby ensuring reliable and stable installation of the travel switch 4.

[0073] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the first compression spring 52 and the second compression spring 42 are both in a compressed state, the travel switch 4 presses against the signal collector 3, thereby triggering the signal collector 3 to simulate the CubeSat being in a state where the satellite and the rocket are not separated. Then, the relationship between the elastic force of the first compression spring 52 and the active travel at this time can be expressed as:

[0074] F1=k1*ΔL1=(G×d1 4 ) / (8×D1 3 ×Nc1)*ΔL1

[0075] Among them, F1 represents the elastic force of the first compression spring 52, k1 represents the spring coefficient of the first compression spring 52, L1 represents the active stroke of the first compression spring 52 (i.e., the compression length), G represents the rigidity modulus of the wire of the first compression spring 52, d2 represents the wire diameter of the first compression spring 52, D1 represents the mean diameter of the first compression spring 52, and Nc1 represents the effective number of turns of the first compression spring 52.

[0076] In addition, the relationship between the elastic force and the movable stroke of the second compression spring 42 at this time can be expressed as:

[0077] F2=k2*ΔL2=(G×d24 ) / (8×D2 3 ×Nc2)*ΔL2

[0078] Among them, F2 represents the elastic force of the second compression spring 42, k2 represents the spring coefficient of the second compression spring 42, L2 represents the active stroke of the second compression spring 42 (i.e., compression length), G represents the rigidity modulus of the wire of the second compression spring 42, d2 represents the wire diameter of the second compression spring 42, D2 represents the mean diameter of the second compression spring 42, and Nc2 represents the effective number of turns of the second compression spring 42.

[0079] Thus, when the spring limit device 5 contacts the travel switch 4 and the signal collector 3 is in the triggered state, the first compression spring 52 and the second compression spring 42 satisfy:

[0080] F1=F2

[0081] ΔL1<ΔL2

[0083] In this embodiment, when the spring limit device 5 is separated from the travel switch 4 and the signal collector 3 is in a non-triggering state, the first compression spring 52 and the second compression spring 42 meet the following conditions:

[0084] F2=0

[0085] F1=k2×ΔL3

[0088] In this embodiment, in order to match the compression length range of the first compression spring 52, the length of the vertical guide portion 1a11 of the guide groove 1a1 can be correspondingly matched to meet the compression length range of the first compression spring 52. Thus, the second compression spring 42 can be flexibly switched between the compressed state and the natural state, so that the utility model can perform a wider detection of the trigger state range of the signal collector 3, making the detection range of the utility model more comprehensive.

[0089] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the utility model, the support tool 1 includes: a tool base plate 11 and a vertical support member 12 vertically arranged on the tool base plate 11. In this embodiment, a plurality of vertical support members 12 are provided, and are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the tool base plate 11; wherein the vertical support member 12 is a plate-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the first mounting groove 1a is provided on the end surface of the vertical support member 12 against the cubic star 2.

[0090] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of spring limit devices 5 are provided; wherein, a spring limit device 5 is provided on each vertical support member 12, for example, two spring limit devices 5 can be provided, and then two vertical support members 12 are used to respectively provide spring limit devices 5 to achieve detection of multiple positions. Correspondingly, a plurality of signal collectors 3 and travel switches 4 are provided respectively; wherein, the number of spring limit devices 5 provided is consistent with the number of travel switches 4 provided; and the number of signal collectors 3 provided is consistent with the number of travel switches 4 provided.

[0091] In order to further illustrate the utility model, the test process of the utility model is further described.

[0092] S1. According to the number of signal collectors 3 and travel switches 4 arranged at the bottom of the cubic star body 2, the number of spring limit devices 5 arranged on the support tooling 1 is set, and the spring limit devices 5 and the travel switches 4 are located below the travel switches 4 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0093] S2. Move the lever 53 of the spring limit device 5 so that the lever 53 is in the vertical guide portion 1a11 of the guide groove 1a1. At this time, the movable limit rod 51 is lifted up under the elastic force of the first compression spring 52 and abuts against the travel switch limit top block 41.

[0094] S3. Under the elastic force of the first compression spring 52, the second compression spring 42 is compressed, and then the limit top cap 43 of the travel switch is abutted against the conductive arm 31 of the signal collector 3. At this time, by pre-energizing the cubic star body 2 or connecting the detection equipment, it can be judged that the signal collector 3 is in a triggered state through the indicator light (action) of the cubic star body 2 or the signal output by the detection equipment; wherein, since the spring coefficient of the first compression spring 52 is greater than the spring coefficient of the second compression spring 42, the compression stroke of the second compression spring 42 can be obtained based on the aforementioned relationship, and the compression stroke is greater than the compression stroke of the first compression spring 52.

[0095] S4. Move the lever 53 of the spring limit device 5 to move the movable limit rod 51 downward. At this time, the pressure on the second compression spring 42 is reduced and its length is restored under the action of its own elastic force. Therefore, based on the change of the indicator light (action) of the cubic star 2 caused by the electrical signal of the signal collector 3 or the change of the signal output by the detection device, it can be judged whether the signal collector 3 is in an untriggered state, until the lever 53 is moved to the horizontal guide part 1a12 of the guide groove 1a1, and the lever 53 is clamped in the limit groove 1a13. At this time, the second compression spring 42 is completely in a natural extension state to complete the test of the cubic satellite simulation satellite-rocket separation process, and can detect the change law of the electrical signal of the signal collector 3, and determine the action reliability of the signal collector 3 and the travel switch 4 in the satellite-rocket separation process in turn, providing reliable test data and basis for the design of the triggering conditions of the auxiliary signal collector 3 and the travel switch 4.

[0096] The above contents are merely examples of specific solutions of the present invention. For the equipment and structures not described in detail, it should be understood that they are implemented by adopting the general equipment and general methods available in the art.
