Description

[0002] Occultation detection satellites generate a large amount of data information during operation, which requires large-capacity storage devices on board. SSDs based on the NVMe protocol have become the preferred high-speed, large-capacity storage devices on commercial satellites. They generate a lot of heat during operation. If the temperature threshold is exceeded, it will affect the normal operation and service life of the hard disk. Therefore, the heat dissipation problem of the SSD needs to be solved. In addition, during the launch of the satellite, severe vibrations will occur, and the SSD needs to be reinforced when installed on the device.

[0003] The existing SSD fixing method based on the NVMe protocol uses a slot and a screw, and there is only half of the screw mounting surface.

In addition, the heat dissipation design on the ground is mostly a combination of conduction and air cooling. There is no air cooling method in the vacuum environment of space, so the heat dissipation design on the ground is not very applicable. As for indirectly conducting the SSD heat to the casing by adding a heat conductive block, this solution will increase components and increase the interface thermal resistance. Utility Model Content

[0053] The mounting base 2 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the circuit board 3 where the electronic components are welded.

[0054] The specific installation process is as follows:

[0055] The mounting base 2 is pin-hole positioned through the positioning boss 204 and the positioning hole on the circuit board 3 (PCB);

[0056] Place two solid state drives 4 (SSD) into the hard drive slot 201 and install each of them with a screw and a gasket. The screws pass through the SSD, the fixing holes, the positioning holes in sequence, and are fastened with the holes and nuts on the back of the PCB;

[0057] Adhesives such as silicone rubber can be applied between the SSD and the mounting base 2 to reduce the vibration deformation of the SSD and improve the vibration resistance of the structure;

[0058] The height of the arc-shaped boss 203 is the same as that of the solid-state drive 4. When the screws are tightened, the half mounting surface formed by the original SSD can be optimized to a complete mounting surface, which can improve the mounting support stability of the SSD screw mounting surface.

[0059] A thermal pad is placed on the top of the SSD, and the PCB is installed to the housing 1 in the following manner: the front side of the PCB (SSD installation surface) fits into the installation groove 101, and the back side is connected to the connection block 102 on the housing 1 through the connection bolts passing through the PCB, i.e., a back-mounted connection.

[0061] The SSD has two heat conduction paths, the main one is to conduct the heat to the housing 1 through the thermal pad, and the other is to conduct the heat to the upper cover 8 through the thermal pad between the bottom surface of the mounting slot 101 and the upper cover 8 on the basis of the first heat conduction path;

[0062] In the above two heat dissipation pathways, part of the heat will be conducted to the bottom satellite mounting surface through the structural body, and part of the heat will be radiated outward through the casing 1. Based on the above design, the normal operation of the SSD on the satellite can be achieved by combining the thermal control design of the entire satellite and the working mode setting.
