Description

Cable net parabolic cylinder expandable antenna device based on double-shear truss mechanism
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, and particularly relates to a cable net parabolic cylinder deployable antenna device based on a double-shear truss mechanism.
Background
Currently, the current state of the art commonly used in the industry is such that: with the rapid development of aerospace science and technology, the satellite-borne antenna is one of key devices of a satellite system, and plays an important role in the fields of space tasks such as satellite communication, positioning and navigation, deep space exploration and the like. In order to meet the requirements of high frequency domain, high gain, high power and the like, the satellite-borne antenna gradually tends to develop in the direction of large caliber. However, since the conventional transmission device has a certain limitation on the transmission of the antenna having a large aperture due to a storage space, a load, and the like, the antenna having a large aperture must be made expandable. The parabolic cylinder antenna has the characteristics of easiness in automatic beam scanning, high gain, strong directivity and the like, and plays a key role in space tasks needing to adopt the strong-directivity satellite-borne antenna, such as remote communication, electronic reconnaissance, rainfall radar and the like. Some countries in the world such as the united states, germany, japan, etc. have made important research results in the technologies of parabolic cylinder antennas, and the most representative united states has realized the detection of the distribution of rainfall on the earth by a rainfall test radar carrying cylindrical antennas. The traditional parabolic cylinder antenna is formed by supporting an integrated rigid reflecting surface by a rigid member, although the profile precision is high, the antenna is heavy in mass and large in size due to the integrated pure rigid configuration, so that the load space and the bearing capacity of a carrying tool cannot meet the transportation requirements, and therefore the antenna cannot be directly used as a satellite-borne antenna; for the traditional parabolic cylinder antenna, the weight is heavy and the size is huge due to the integrated rigid configuration, and the payload capacity of a carrier can not meet the transportation requirement, so that the traditional parabolic cylinder antenna can not be directly used as a satellite-borne antenna.
For the deployable solid surface antenna, the unit volume is large, resulting in low storage rate; the inflatable unfolding antenna has poor profile precision and stability due to the flowability of gas. Currently, deployable parabolic antennas are primarily of the type that can be deployed on solid surfaces and inflated. The deployable solid surface antenna realizes folding and unfolding through relative rotation of the units, and each unit is formed by a rigid back frame supporting solid reflecting surface, so that the antenna storage rate is low due to large unit volume, and the requirement for large-scale satellite-borne antennas cannot be met. The inflatable parabolic cylinder realizes the drive expansion through the form of inflation, and the volume is obviously reduced after the storage, but the antenna shape and surface precision and the stability are poor due to the strong liquidity of the gas.
In summary, the problems of the prior art are as follows:
(1) the traditional parabolic cylinder antenna is formed by a rigid body reflecting surface supported and integrated by a rigid member, the whole antenna is large in size and heavy in weight, and the carrying capacity of a carrying tool cannot meet the reflecting requirement and cannot be directly used as a satellite-borne antenna.
(2) The existing deployable parabolic cylinder antenna is a deployable solid surface antenna or is deployed by inflation, and the deployable solid surface antenna has low storage rate and is difficult to meet the large-scale requirement of the satellite-borne antenna; the shape accuracy and stability of the inflatable unfolding parabolic cylinder antenna are poor.
The difficulty and significance for solving the technical problems are as follows: antenna design needs to meet multiple requirements under the premise that vehicle loads are limited. The cable net structure has multiple advantages, the difficulties can be effectively solved, and the reliable folding and unfolding mechanism for supporting the cable net structure of the parabolic cylinder has important significance in the development process of the parabolic cylinder antenna.
Parabolic cylinder antennas play an important role in the spatial task. On the premise of meeting the limited bearing capacity of a carrier, the design requirements of light weight, foldability, high storage rate, simple and reliable shape precision and stability regulation and control on the antenna structure are met, and the design requirements are one of the difficulties for solving the technical problems. As a flexible stress system, the cable net structure has significant positive influences on the profile precision and the unfolding stability due to stress points and stress levels, is easy to fold, high in storage rate and easy to realize large caliber. Therefore, the design of a truss deployable mechanism with a light and reliable structure for supporting the cable net structure of the parabolic cylinder is one of effective measures for solving the technical difficulties, and has important practical significance in the development process of the parabolic cylinder deployable antenna.
