For example, a process, method, device, product or equipment including a series of steps or units does not necessarily limit to those clearly listed steps or units, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0032] The following is a further detailed description of this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-9

[0033] Refer to Figures 1-5 A support structure for a high-precision off-axis parabolic mirror shown in the figure includes: a support and a mirror base 1 provided on the support. A parabolic mirror groove 11 is opened on one side of the mirror base 1. A parabolic mirror 2 is arranged in the parabolic mirror groove 11. A circular retaining ring 3 is arranged at the opening of the parabolic mirror groove 11 of the mirror base 1. A step groove 21 is opened on the circumferential side of the mirror surface of the parabolic mirror 2. The inner side of the retaining ring 3 is clamped at the step groove 21. In this way, by matching the circular retaining ring 3 with the step groove 21 on the circumferential side of the parabolic mirror 2, the parabolic mirror 2 is fixed in the parabolic mirror groove 11, so that the parabolic mirror 2 is uniformly stressed and the influence on the mirror surface of the parabolic mirror is reduced.

[0034] Further optimized, as Figure 6 shown in the figure, in order to reduce the damage to the parabolic mirror 2, a spacer ring 4 and a felt ring 5 are sequentially arranged between the retaining ring 3 and the parabolic mirror 2. Isolation is carried out through the spacer ring 4 and the felt ring 5 to play a role of buffering and supporting. The retaining ring 3 is fixed on the mirror base 1 through mounting bolts, which is convenient for disassembly, assembly and maintenance.

[0035] Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a plurality of glue grooves 12 are evenly formed on the circumferential side of the parabolic mirror groove 11 of the mirror base 1. The optimal shape of the glue grooves 12 is strip-shaped. The mirror base 1 is provided with glue injection holes 13 penetrating through the groove wall of the parabolic mirror groove 11 at the positions of the glue grooves 12. After the parabolic mirror 2 is installed at the parabolic mirror groove 11, a certain amount of type 703 silicone rubber is injected into the glue grooves 12 through the glue injection holes 13 to support and fix the circumferential side of the parabolic mirror 2. And multi-point support is adopted to adapt to the application environment of alternating hot and cold, facilitating thermal expansion and contraction. Moreover, the glue grooves 12 are arranged on the circumferential side of the parabolic mirror 2, having less influence on the mirror surface of the parabolic mirror 2.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the specific structure of the support includes a base 7, a mounting seat 6 and an adjustment assembly. The mounting seat 6 is arranged on the base 7 through the adjustment assembly. A plurality of annular waist-shaped grooves 61 distributed in a circumferential manner are arranged on the mounting seat 6. The mirror base 1 is arranged on the mounting seat 6 through a plurality of annular waist-shaped grooves 61. By arranging a plurality of annular waist-shaped grooves 61 on the mounting seat 6, it is used to fix the mirror base 1, and the mirror base 1 can rotate on the mounting seat 6 to achieve the function of fine adjustment. And, in order to improve the stability of the support for the mirror base 1, the mounting seat 6 is provided with a plurality of support rods 63 at the bottom of the mirror base 1 to support the mirror base 1 from the bottom.

[0037] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figures 7-9 As shown, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the parabolic mirror 2, the adjustment assembly includes a plurality of adjustment bolts 8. The bottom end of the mounting seat 6 is provided with a mounting plate 62. The top ends of a plurality of adjustment bolts 8 are rotatably arranged on the mounting plate 62. The bottom ends of a plurality of adjustment bolts 8 are threadedly connected to the base 7. In order to achieve the function of fine adjustment, the bottom ends of the adjustment bolts 8 are connected to the base 7 through rubber sleeves, so that the relative angle between the adjustment bolts 8 and the base 7 can change. In this way, by rotating the corresponding adjustment bolts 8, the angle between the mounting plate 62 and the horizontal plane can be adjusted to achieve the effect of adjusting the angle of the parabolic mirror 2. And to maintain stability, the adjustment assembly further includes a plurality of top bolts 9. The bottom end of the top bolt 9 is hemispherical. A plurality of limit seats 71 are arranged on the base 7. A spherical groove is formed at the top end of the limit seat 71. The bottom end of the top bolt 9 is arranged at the spherical groove. The top end of the top bolt 9 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 62. In this way, the top bolts 9 and the adjustment bolts 8 correspond one by one. When adjusting the adjustment bolts 8, rotate the corresponding top bolts 9 to make the top bolts 9 play a role of jacking up, while the adjustment bolts 8 play a role of pressing down, maintaining the stability of the mounting seat 6. In this embodiment, two adjustment bolts 8 and two top bolts 9 are arranged on the front side of the mirror base 1, and one adjustment bolt 8 and one top bolt 9 are arranged on the rear side of the mirror base 1.

[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the parabolic mirror 2 is fixed in the parabolic mirror groove 11 by matching the annular pressing ring 3 with the step groove 21 on the ring side of the parabolic mirror 2, so that the parabolic mirror 2 is subjected to uniform force and the influence on the parabolic mirror surface is reduced.

[0039] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and changes directly derived or associated by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
