The invention discloses a large-
caliber reflector axial supporting structure with a temperature compensation function, and belongs to the field of optical element supporting, the large-
caliber reflector axial supporting structure comprises a large-
caliber reflector body, a heterogeneous material composite supporting column, a corrugated
pipe compensation device and a supporting base, the heterogeneous material composite supporting column adopts an'inner-layer core column-outer-layer sleeve 'coaxial nesting structure, and the corrugated
pipe compensation device is arranged on the inner-layer core column; the low-expansion core column and the high-expansion sleeve are fixed through
interference fit and
laser welding to form an integrated supporting unit, and
complementation of the low-expansion core column and the high-expansion sleeve is achieved through
material selection. Through the material combination of the low-expansion core column and the high-expansion sleeve, the overall
axial deformation quantity of the supporting column is reduced, the mirror
surface shape precision RMS of the reflector in a wide temperature range is smaller than or equal to
lambda / 50 (
lambda = 632.8 nm), and the thermal stress offset effect is remarkable; a thermal stress counteracting mechanism of the composite supporting column is combined with
residual deformation compensation of the corrugated
pipe, so that the supporting force fluctuation range is controlled within + / -3%, and mirror surface loosening or deformation caused by long-term use is avoided.
