The invention relates to the technical field of
spacecraft attitude control, in particular to a hollow-core magnetic torquer for a
spacecraft, which comprises a coil body, the coil body comprises an inner-layer coil, a middle-layer coil and an outer-layer coil, a base is mounted at the bottom of the outer-layer coil, and screw rods are mounted at the positions, close to the two ends, of the top of the base through shaft seats. The inner-layer coil is connected with the lead screw at one end of the base, the outer-layer coil is connected with the lead screw at the other end of the base, and a motor driving the lead screws to rotate is mounted at the top of the base and corresponds to the lead screws. According to the invention, the coils are arranged into three groups, and two groups of coils are arranged to be capable of relatively axially moving, so that the
magnetic field intensity can be indirectly changed by changing the
magnetic field superposition amount of the coils on the premise that the input current is fixed, and therefore, the magnitude of the output torque can be changed, and compared with the existing
pulse width modulation control mode, the output torque can be changed. An additional
control mode can be supplemented and replaced, and a standby control scheme is provided for the magnetic torquer.
