Figure 3 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the bottom plate of the satellite simulator structure used for satellite ground testing. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the side panel of the satellite simulator structure used for satellite ground testing. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The satellite simulator structure for satellite ground testing provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a top plate 1, a bottom plate 2, a front panel 3, a rear panel 4, a side panel 5, an upper heat-conducting block 6 and a lower heat-conducting block 7; the side panels 5 are vertically connected to the left and right openings of the bottom plate 2, and the front panel 3 and the rear panel 4 are vertically connected to the front and rear openings of the bottom plate 2 respectively; three upper heat-conducting blocks 6 are connected in parallel and spaced apart on the inner surface of the side panel 5, and the lower heat-conducting block 7 is also connected between adjacent upper heat-conducting blocks 6; the top plate 1 is provided on the upper end covers of the front panel 3, the rear panel 4 and the side panels 5.

[0031] It should be noted that the satellite simulator includes measurement and control, power distribution and satellite service stand-alone modules. Considering the heat consumption of the three modules, the power distribution module heat consumption> measurement and control module heat consumption> satellite service module heat consumption, the power distribution module is stacked at the bottom, the satellite service module is in the middle, and the measurement and control module is stacked at the top.

[0032] Specifically, the two ends of the power distribution module, satellite service module and measurement and control module are correspondingly connected to the upper heat conduction blocks 6 on the inner surfaces of the two side panels 5; replacing the locking strip in the traditional solution, it is connected to the satellite unit through screws, and then connected to the front panel 3, rear panel 4 and side panel 5 through screws. The use of screw connection can make each surface fully contact, so that the heat of the measurement and control, power distribution and satellite service unit modules can be transferred to the satellite simulator structure, while also increasing the reliability of the connection.

[0033] The satellite simulator structure of the utility model is applied to satellite ground testing. The measurement and control, power distribution and satellite service stand-alone modules are connected in a stacked manner in the satellite simulator structure through an upper heat conductive block 6 and a lower heat conductive block 7. The volume can be effectively reduced to meet the requirements of lightness and portability. Each stand-alone module is installed independently, and each stand-alone module can be disassembled separately to meet the requirements of testability and maintainability. The heat conductive block design can achieve thermal balance.

[0034] Furthermore, thermal conductive silicone grease is coated on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 ; and thermal conductive silicone grease is coated on the lower surface of the top plate 1 .

[0035] It should be noted that the thermal grease coated on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 allows the lower surface of the lower frame of the power distribution module structure to be in contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 through the thermal grease, and the heat of the power distribution module is transferred to the bottom plate 2 through heat conduction. The thermal grease on the lower surface of the top plate 1 allows the upper surface of the thermal block of the upper frame of the measurement and control module structure to be completely in contact with the lower surface of the top plate 1 through the thermal grease, and the heat is transferred to the top plate 1 through heat conduction.

[0036] Further references Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the utility model, two mounting angles 8 are connected to the bottom of the outside of the side plate 5 , and heat dissipation fins are installed on the mounting angles 8 .

[0037] It should be noted that the side panel 5 and the base plate 2 are connected by screws, and then the heat sink fins are installed through the mounting angle 8 so that the lower surface of the base plate 2 and the heat sink fins are in complete contact, and thermal grease is applied between the lower surface of the base plate 2 and the contact surface of the heat sink fins to transfer heat to the heat sink fins through heat conduction.

[0038] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the top plate 1, the bottom plate 2, the front plate 3, the rear plate 4 and the side plate 5 are subjected to black anodizing treatment to achieve radiation heat dissipation.

Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 In the present invention, a circle of support beams 41 is disposed around the inner surface of the rear panel 4 , and a plurality of support columns 42 are also disposed on the inner surface of the rear panel 4 , wherein threaded holes 43 are formed on the support columns 42 .

[0040] It should be noted that the support beam 41 and the support column 42 are used to support the satellite simulator printed circuit board 9, and play a supporting role when each module is plugged in separately to protect the printed circuit board; the support column 42 has a threaded hole 43 for fixing the printed circuit board on the rear panel 4.

[0041] Furthermore, the front panel 3 and the rear panel 4 are both provided with a plurality of connector openings 31 for connecting test cables.

[0042] Based on the above description, it can be seen that the advantages of the utility model are:

[0043] 1. The satellite simulator structure used for satellite ground testing of the utility model has two ends of the power distribution module, the satellite service module and the measurement and control module connected to the upper heat conduction block 6 on the inner surface of the two side panels 5; the locking strip in the traditional solution is replaced, and the satellite is connected to the single machine by screws, and then connected to the front panel 3, the rear panel 4, and the side panel 5 by screws. The screw connection can make each surface fully contact, so that the heat of the measurement and control, power distribution and satellite service single machine modules is transferred to the satellite simulator structure, and the reliability of the connection is also increased;

[0044] 2.
