Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiating surface detection technology, and in particular to an automated device for detecting the radiating surface of a satellite antenna. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of satellite antenna radiating surface inspection, the accuracy and safety of the inspection are of paramount importance.
[0003] Traditional inspection methods rely heavily on manual operation, requiring inspectors to be in close contact with the satellite antenna and manually use various inspection tools. This not only consumes a lot of manpower and time and has extremely low inspection efficiency, but also exposes inspectors to potential radiation environments for extended periods, posing significant health risks and greatly increasing safety hazards. In addition, manual monitoring is greatly affected by subjective factors, and the technical level and operating habits of different inspectors vary, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of inspection results. This can easily lead to the omission of subtle defects in the radiating surface of the satellite antenna, affecting the performance and lifespan of the satellite antenna.
[0004] Some existing automated testing equipment has a simple structural design and single function. During the testing process, it is difficult to flexibly adapt to the testing needs of satellite antennas of different specifications and shapes. For example, for satellite antenna radiating surfaces with complex curved surfaces or special structures, traditional equipment cannot accurately adjust the position and angle of the testing probe, resulting in a large number of blind spots and making it impossible to fully and accurately detect defects in the radiating surface. Moreover, these devices do not control the pressure on the testing probe accurately enough during the testing process. Either the pressure is too high and damages the antenna radiating surface, or the pressure is too low and cannot obtain accurate testing data, further reducing the reliability of the testing results. Utility Model Content

[0013] 1.

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0023] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides, as Figure 1As shown, the automated device for satellite antenna radiating surface detection in this embodiment includes: a working platform 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the working platform 1, and a telescopic traverse mechanism 3 provided on the top of the support frame 2; the telescopic traverse mechanism 3 includes a first electric telescopic rod 301, a transmission table 302 fixedly connected to the bottom of the first electric telescopic rod 301, a configuration plate 309 fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission table 302, a fixing plate 303 fixedly connected to the top of the configuration plate 309, a motor 304 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 303, a lead screw 305 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 304, a sliding block 306 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 305, two second slots 308 and one first slot 307 opened at the bottom of the configuration plate 309, the bottom of the first electric telescopic rod 301 and the top of the support frame 2 fixedly connected, and the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 301 penetrates through the top of the support frame 2.
[0024] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is that the extension and retraction of the first electric telescopic rod 301 can precisely control the vertical height adjustment of the transmission table 302, allowing the entire detection device to flexibly adapt to the detection requirements of satellite antennas at different heights. The motor 304 drives the lead screw 305 to rotate, and the sliding block 306, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 305, will move horizontally along the axial direction of the lead screw 305. At the same time, the first slot 307 and two second slots 308 opened on the configuration plate 309 provide guidance and limit for the movement of the sliding block 306, ensuring its stability and accuracy. On the other hand, together with the fixing plate 303 and other components, it ensures the stable installation of the transmission components such as the motor 304 and the lead screw 305. This design, which combines vertical height adjustment and horizontal displacement adjustment, gives the detection device the ability to flexibly adjust the detection position in two-dimensional space. It can quickly and accurately move the detection components to various detection positions on the satellite antenna radiating surface, greatly improving the preparation efficiency before detection and laying a solid foundation for subsequent accurate radiating surface detection work.
[0025] Example 2: Figures 1-4As shown, a second electric telescopic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the working platform 1. A connecting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 4. A sliding plate 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 41. A sliding frame 43 is fixedly connected to the top of the working platform 1. An antenna placement seat 44 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding plate 42. A flexible detection mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding block 306. The flexible detection mechanism 5 includes a sleeve 501. Two limiting grooves 502 are symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the sleeve 501. A limiting block 503 is slidably arranged inside the limiting groove 502. A spring 504 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting block 503. A detection probe 505 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 504. The sliding block 306 is slidably connected to the two second slots 308. The bottom of the sliding block 306 and the top of the sleeve 501 are fixedly connected.
[0026] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is that the structure in Embodiment 2 further optimizes the detection function. The second electric telescopic rod 4 can drive the connecting plate 41, the sliding plate 42, and the antenna placement seat 44 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. This design allows the satellite antenna to be adjusted to the most suitable detection height position, facilitating the detection probe 505 to perform detection operations. At the same time, the cooperation between the sliding plate 42 and the sliding frame 43 ensures the stability of the antenna placement seat 44 in the horizontal direction, avoiding the satellite antenna from shaking during the detection process and affecting the detection results. The flexible detection mechanism 5 is also a major highlight. The limiting groove 502 opened on the outer wall of the sleeve 501 and the limiting block 503 are matched The pressure of the probe 505 is restricted to vertical movement, while the spring 504 provides flexibility. When the probe 505 contacts the satellite antenna radiating surface, the spring 504 automatically adjusts the pressure of the probe 505 according to the unevenness of the radiating surface. This ensures that the probe 505 makes full contact with the radiating surface to obtain accurate detection data, while avoiding damage to the antenna radiating surface due to excessive pressure. This design greatly improves the adaptability of the detection device to satellite antenna radiating surfaces of different shapes and surface conditions, and significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.
[0027] Working Principle: When the automated device for satellite antenna radiating surface detection is started, firstly, based on the height of the satellite antenna, the control system activates the first electric telescopic rod 301 to adjust the height of the transmission table 302, ensuring the entire detection device is within a suitable detection height range. Next, the motor 304 is started, driving the lead screw 305 to rotate. Driven by the lead screw 305, the sliding block 306 moves horizontally along the slot on the configuration plate 309, moving the flexible detection mechanism 5 above the initial detection position of the satellite antenna radiating surface. Simultaneously, based on the actual placement of the satellite antenna, the second electric telescopic rod 4 is activated to adjust the height of the antenna mounting base 44, ensuring the satellite antenna is in the optimal detection position and that the detection probe 505 is vertically aligned with the antenna radiating surface. Once everything is ready, the detection begins as the sliding block 306 slowly moves under the drive of the lead screw 305. The flexible detection mechanism 5 then performs a scanning detection above the satellite antenna radiating surface. When the detection probe 505 contacts the antenna radiating surface, the flexibility of the spring 504 allows it to closely conform to the surface shape of the radiating surface. If there are defects or unevenness in the radiating surface, the pressure on the detection probe 505 will change. This pressure change is transmitted to the spring 504 through the limit block 503, and then converted into an electrical signal (assuming that the detection probe 505 has an integrated pressure sensing and signal conversion device), which is transmitted to the control system. The control system analyzes the condition of the satellite antenna radiating surface based on the received signal, determines whether there are defects and the location and extent of the defects, and completes the automated detection of the satellite antenna radiating surface. During the detection process, if it is necessary to adjust the detection height or position, it can be achieved at any time by controlling the first electric telescopic rod 301, the second electric telescopic rod 4, and the motor 304.
[0028] The wiring diagrams of the first electric telescopic rod 301, motor 304, second electric telescopic rod 4, and detection probe 505 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the first electric telescopic rod 301, motor 304, second electric telescopic rod 4, and detection probe 505 will not be explained in detail.

Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
