2. The operation flow of the parabolic cylinder antenna unfolding reflector ground test equipment is as follows (as shown in fig. 10):
2.1 preparation phase of unfolding

2.2 unfolding phase of unfolded reflecting surface
The unfolding process of the unfolded reflecting surface comprises unfolding motions in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the three directions are unfolded simultaneously, and the horizontal motion comprises two-degree-of-freedom motion in the cylindrical direction and the cambered surface direction.
The cylinder is followed passively, and the slider passively adjusts the hoisting point position under the cable acting force to follow the corresponding hoisting point position of the antenna.
The following of the arc surface adopts active following, the angular displacement of the stay cable in the direction of the arc surface is measured through an angle encoder, the antenna is controlled to be unfolded in the direction of the arc surface, whether the unfolding is normal or not is monitored by a system in the unfolding process, judgment is carried out, the unfolding is abnormal, and a fault is judged and processed until the unfolding is normal;

2.3 unfolding into position

3. Detailed design of equipment mechanism
3.1 supporting truss
The supporting frame is used for supporting the gravity load of a balanced product of the hanging system and the weight of the total testing device body, the main body of the supporting frame is composed of truss units, and a detachable splicing unit form is adopted, as shown in figure 11.
The overall envelope dimension of the supporting truss is as follows: 18.5 mx 16.1 mx 12.0m, comprising a truss and a base (fig. 11), the truss being made up of a plurality of spliceable and detachable units, the unit size being: 800mm × 800mm × 800mm, and each unit is composed of a straight rod, an inclined rod and a connecting ball head, as shown in fig. 12. Because the whole span of the supporting truss is large, the top of the truss adopts double-layer layout, and the test device is formed by about 350 truss units. The base consists of a frame, rollers, brake pads and fixing screws, and as shown in fig. 13, the whole device totally adopts 8 bases.
3.2 hanging device
The suspension device of the ground test equipment has the main functions of following the horizontal and vertical movements of the antenna suspension point and realizing the unloading of gravity and gravity moment. The hanging device consists of a cylindrical surface direction passive following device (a lower layer), an arc surface direction active following device (an upper layer) and a vertical following device (a middle layer) (figure 14), and is connected with the support truss through the mounting frame.
1) Cylindrical surface direction passive following device
According to the unfolding principle of the parabolic cylinder antenna, the selected antenna hanging points have the same characteristics along each column of 5 hanging points in the antenna cylinder direction in the antenna unfolding process, namely the heights of the 5 hanging points in the vertical direction are always the same, the positions of the hanging points in the arc surface direction are always on the same straight line, and the 5 hanging points are gradually far away along the antenna unfolding along the cylinder direction. Therefore, according to the characteristics of the selected hoisting point, the hoisting points with the same characteristics are uniformly hoisted by adopting the same device in the cambered surface direction and the vertical direction, and the hoisting points are followed by adopting a passive following device along the cylindrical surface.
The passive following device is positioned at the lowest end of the hanging device (figure 14), so that additional friction force and inertia force can be reduced to the greatest extent, and the following error is reduced. The 81 selected hoisting points are 9 columns along the cylindrical surface direction, so that 9 groups of passive following devices are provided.
Each group of passive following devices (figure 15) consists of a cylindrical guide rail, a sliding block, a square tube, a bracket and an angle encoder. According to the unfolding principle of the antenna, the suspension point slide block in the middle is fixed, and the other 4 suspension point slide blocks move towards two sides along the cylindrical guide rail along with the unfolding of the antenna. The upper end of the passive following device is connected with the vertical following device through a guy cable, and the lower end of the passive following device is connected with the antenna suspension point through a guy cable.
Because the length of the cylindrical surface direction antenna is 12m, the two hoisting points are adopted and have large span, and the four hoisting points are combined into two hoisting points through the two supports, so that the rigidity of the square tube is increased, and the deflection is reduced. In order to increase the synchronism of the vertical following device, the number of lifting points arranged on the passive following device is not too large. The support comprises 2 aluminium alloy and 3 hinges.
Because the 5 hoisting points move consistently along the direction of the unfolding cambered surface of the antenna, only one angle encoder is arranged at the position. The angle encoder is installed on the middle sliding block through a support, the measurement of the angular displacement of the stay cable along the direction of the cambered surface is realized through the swing rod, see fig. 16, the measured value of the angle encoder is fed back to a control system of the cambered surface following device in real time, and feedback information is provided for the following movement of the direction of the cambered surface.
2) Cambered surface direction active following device
The cambered surface direction following device is located on the uppermost layer of the whole hanging device, in order to realize the following of a hanging point in the three-dimensional unfolding process of the antenna, the hanging device uses a large number of guide rails, sectional materials and other parts, the additional friction force and the inertia force are large, the unfolding driving force of the parabolic cylinder antenna is difficult to overcome the additional factors to complete the unfolding action, and therefore the active following device is adopted along the cambered surface direction of the unfolding of the antenna.
The cambered surface direction active following device (figure 17) mainly comprises an upper layer mounting frame, a horizontal adjusting column, a guide rail mounting square tube, a guide rail, a slide block, a sliding beam, a driving motor and a synchronous belt transmission device, and is shown in figure 18. The mounting bracket connects the whole hanging device with the supporting truss, and the horizontal adjusting column is used for adjusting the horizontal height of the guide rail.
The length of the parabolic cylindrical antenna along the cylindrical direction is 12m, the span is large, in addition, the weight of the whole antenna and the mass of additional parts are loads of the active following device, and 5 mounting frames are arranged for increasing the integral rigidity of the hanging device and reducing deflection deformation.
The upper surface of the sliding beam is connected with the sliding block, the lower surface of the sliding beam is used for installing the active following devices in the vertical direction, the number of the active following devices corresponds to that of the passive following devices in the direction of the cylindrical surface, and the lifting point where the antenna unfolding starting point is located does not shift along the direction of the cambered surface, so that 8 sliding beams and 1 fixed beam are arranged. The sliding beam is fixed with the synchronous belt, and the following movement of the hoisting point along the direction of the cambered surface is realized through the driving of a motor. Because the sliding beam is longer, one sliding beam adopts two sets of transmission devices to complete driving.
3) Vertical direction active following device
The vertical following device has the function of following the vertical movement of the antenna suspension point and providing balance force for the antenna suspension point to unload gravity and gravity moment. The working principle is as follows: the force sensor monitors the tensile force of the rope in real time, the rope is wound and unwound through the motor, the gravity of a tensile force balance product is controlled in a feedback mode, when the tensile force of the steel wire rope is increased, the steel wire rope is unwound through controlling the motor to rotate, otherwise, the rope is wound, and the tensile force of the steel wire rope is controlled within an error range.
Due to space limitation, the vertical following device (figures 19 and 20) adopts a separated design and comprises a driving transposition device and a hoisting point device, the driving device consists of a servo motor, a worm gear (right-angle reducer) and a steel wire containing wheel, the hoisting point device consists of a pulley block, a buffer spring, a force sensor, a steel wire rope, an installation support and the like, the tail end of the steel wire rope is connected with a support of the cylindrical surface direction passive following device, and the steel wire rope is wound and unwound through the motor, so that the tension of the steel wire rope balances the gravity of a product. The pulley block converts the pulling force of cable into the pressure of sensor, and pressure sensor measures the wire rope pulling force, provides feedback signal for vertical following device, and buffer spring's effect avoids abrupt change power, guarantees control accuracy.
In order to realize the following motion of the whole vertical direction of the cylindrical surface direction passive following device, each group of passive following devices adopts 2 groups of vertical direction active following devices. Because the available space of the hoisting points is small, the driving devices of the active following devices in the vertical direction are distributed in a step shape (figure 21), and the interference among the hoisting points is avoided.
4. Ground test equipment control system design
4.1 control System functions
The electric control system mainly realizes the control of the stroke and the force loading control in the whole process of the antenna folding and unfolding and the force follow-up control in the system unfolding process; the necessary man-machine interaction including command sending, state monitoring and reminding, fault diagnosis and the like is realized; and the functions of setting system parameters, assisting in debugging and the like are realized.
4.2 control System basic scheme
The antenna unfolding process mainly comprises the translation movement of a horizontal plane and the movement in the gravity direction, and the gravity direction needs to consider the gravity balance. Therefore, the suspension control system needs to control the suspension wires of the suspension platform to keep the gravity direction and simultaneously needs to control the suspension platform to move along the horizontal direction of the antenna; in addition, the suspension wires are controlled to move up and down to realize the movement along the gravity direction of the antenna and the gravity balance. The suspension control system can adopt various modes, and mainly adopts a servo motor-based follow-up control mode in consideration of flexibility and cost of system design.
The horizontal control structure is shown in fig. 22, the inclination angle sensor measures the included angle between the suspension wire and the vertical direction, the included angle is compared with an expected vertical calibration angle (natural vertical angle), the deviation is used as input, the motor actuator of the suspension translation mechanism is controlled to move according to an expected rule through a proper control law, the deviation is reduced, and finally the suspension wire is kept vertical.
The control structure in the vertical direction is as shown in fig. 23, the force sensor measures the tension of the suspension wire, compares the tension with the expected counterweight force, takes the deviation as input, controls the suspension winding mechanism to pull the suspension wire through a proper control law, reduces the deviation with the expected counterweight force, and finally keeps the tension of the suspension wire equal to the counterweight force. When the specific antenna moves, the motor drives the winding mechanism to take up and pull the suspension wire to follow, so that the suspension wire is tensioned to the expected matching gravity. When the antenna has upward motion component, the tension of the suspension wire is reduced, and the suspension wire needs to be tightened by the positive rotation of the motor; when the antenna has a downward motion component, the tension of the suspension wire is increased, and the suspension wire needs to be loosened by reversing the motor.
4.3 control System composition
The control system mainly adopts an industrial control computer with an input/output interface circuit as a basic control component, and forms a full digital microcomputer control system together with a servo controller, an alternating current servo amplifier, an electric control device and the like. The device mainly comprises a control computer, a sensor, a motor, a speed reducer, a driving amplifier and the like.
According to the scheme, the control of the system folding and unfolding follow-up control system mainly comprises two types of control of horizontal deviation and vertical force.
The horizontal direction follow-up electric control part is basically the same except that the sensor is different.
