As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the optical path switching device includes a reduction motor 7, a base 8, a worm 11, a worm gear box 12, a worm wheel 14, an optical fiber fixing rod 15, and a worm wheel shaft 20. The base 8 is used as a supporting structure of the light path switching device and is fixedly arranged on the space coronagraph.
The worm gear box 12 is fixedly arranged on the base 8. The worm 11, the worm wheel 14 and the worm wheel shaft 20 are disposed in the worm gear case 12. The axis of the worm 11 is perpendicular to the central line of the optical path of the space coronagraph. The worm wheel 14 meshes with the worm 11. The worm gear 14 is an interference fit with the worm gear shaft 20. The axis of the worm gear shaft 20 is parallel to the central line of the optical path of the space coronagraph.
The worm 11 is provided with a first bearing assembly 10, and the first bearing assembly 10 comprises 2 first bearings, and the 2 first bearings are respectively arranged on bearing positioning steps at two ends of the worm 11. The housing of the worm gear housing 12 is provided with a first bearing assembly mount. The 2 first bearings are placed in the first bearing assembly mounting seat and play a role of positioning and supporting the worm 11. The worm 11 comprises 1 input end, and the input end is the end of the worm 11 far away from the optical path of the space coronagraph. The input end and the other end of the worm 11 extend out of the box body of the worm gear box 12.
The worm wheel shaft 20 is provided with a second bearing assembly 17, and the second bearing assembly 17 comprises 2 second bearings, and the 2 second bearings are respectively arranged on bearing positioning steps at two ends of the worm wheel shaft 20.

The 2 second bearings are located in the second bearing assembly mount and serve to position and support the worm gear shaft 20. The worm-gear shaft 20 comprises a locking end and a positioning end, wherein the locking end is the end of the worm-gear shaft 20 pointing to the light path inlet of the space coronagraph. The locking end and the positioning end of the worm-gear shaft 20 extend out of the housing of the worm gear housing 12.
The gear motor 7 is fixedly arranged on the base 8. The output shaft of the speed reducing motor 7 is connected with the input end of the worm 11 through a first coupling 9.
The optical fiber fixing rod 15 is fixedly installed at the locking end of the worm-gear shaft 20 by means of a bolt 16. The optical fiber connector 5 is fixedly mounted on the optical fiber fixing rod 15. The axis of the optical fiber connector 5 is parallel to the central line of the optical path of the space coronagraph.
Optionally, the surfaces of the first bearing assembly 10, the worm 11, the worm wheel 14, the second bearing assembly 17 and the worm wheel shaft 20 are all coated with a layer of molybdenum disulphide. The molybdenum disulfide layer plays a lubricating role for the mutual movement of the moving parts.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the positioning device includes a V-groove positioning block 13 and an encoder 19. The encoder 19 is fixedly mounted on the positioning end of the worm wheel shaft 20 through the second coupling 18. V type groove locating piece 13 fixed mounting is on base 8. The V-shaped groove on the V-shaped groove positioning block 13 is used for positioning the optical fiber fixing rod 15. The V-shaped groove ensures that the axis of the optical fiber connector 5 is collinear with the central line of the optical path of the space coronagraph when the side surface of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 is pressed in the V-shaped groove.
Optionally, the side surface of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 is a circular arc surface. The arc surface can be better matched with the positioning of the V-shaped groove.
Optionally, the outer surfaces of the optical path switching device and the positioning device are blackened. The external surface is blackened, so that the interference of stray light to the space coronagraph can be reduced.
The space coronagraph needs to carry out self calibration on the whole light path before working, and the self-calibration light source switching device respectively sends light with different wavelengths into the light path. As shown in fig. 1, a first self-calibration optical path is formed between the first self-calibration light source 4 and the wavelength division multiplexer 1, and a second self-calibration optical path is formed between the second self-calibration light source 6 and the wavelength division multiplexer 1. When the first self-calibration light source 4 and the second self-calibration light source 6 are used for calibrating the light path of the space coronaries, the first self-calibration light source 4 is turned on, the second self-calibration light source 6 is turned off, and the axis of the optical fiber connector 5 is collinear with the central line of the light path of the space coronaries. The output light of the first self-calibration light source 4 is guided into the optical fiber connector 5 through the first self-calibration light path and the wavelength division multiplexer 1 and the output optical fiber, and then enters the light path of the space coronarism instrument.
The first self-calibration light source 4 completes calibration of the space coronagraph, and the self-calibration light source switching device switches the two self-calibration light sources. Namely, the first self-calibration light source 4 is turned off, the second self-calibration light source 6 is turned on, and the axis of the optical fiber connector 5 is collinear with the central line of the optical path of the space coronaries. The output light of the second self-calibration light source 6 is guided into the optical fiber connector 5 through the second self-calibration light path and the wavelength division multiplexer 1 and the output optical fiber, and then enters the light path of the space coronarism instrument.
The isolator 2 in the first self-calibration light path and the second self-calibration light path separates the two self-calibration light sources, and mutual interference between the two self-calibration light paths is prevented.
The self-calibration light source switching device in this embodiment completes switching of the self-calibration light sources by controlling the turning on and off of the two self-calibration light sources. Compared with the traditional light source switching device, the switching-in of different self-correcting light sources by the movement mechanism is reduced, and the size and the weight of the device are reduced. And because the use environment of the space coronagraph is in space, the movement mechanism needs to be specially customized, and the cost is extremely high. The moving mechanism is reduced in the device, and the cost is reduced.
When the self-calibration light source switching device with the plurality of self-calibration light sources switches the self-calibration light sources, one of the self-calibration light sources is turned on, and the other self-calibration light sources are turned off, so that the output light of only one self-calibration light source in the light path is ensured.
In the self-calibration mode of the space coronarism instrument, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the side surface of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 is pressed in the V-shaped groove, and the axis of the optical fiber connector 5 is collinear with the central line of the optical path of the space coronarism instrument.
In the self-calibration mode, the speed reduction motor 7 in the optical path switching device is turned on, and the speed reduction motor 7 drives the worm 11 and the worm wheel 14 to rotate through the first coupler 9. Because the worm wheel 14 is in interference fit with the worm wheel shaft 20, the worm wheel shaft 20 and the worm wheel 14 rotate coaxially in synchronization. The locking end of the worm-gear shaft 20 and the optical fiber fixing lever 15 are fastened by a bolt 16. The optical fiber fixing rod 15 is driven by the worm gear shaft 20 to rotate towards the V-groove positioning block 13. An encoder 19 is mounted on the positioning end of the worm shaft 20 by a second coupling 18. The encoder 19 determines the position of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 by detecting the rotation angle of the worm wheel shaft 20. When the rotation angle detected by the encoder 19 is consistent with the calibration angle, the speed reducing motor 7 is turned off, the side surface of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 is pressed in the V-shaped groove, and the axis of the optical fiber connector 5 is collinear with the central line of the optical path of the space coronagraph.
The zero position of the encoder 19 is marked at the position where the optical fiber fixing rod 15 is completely separated from the optical path of the space coronagraph. The encoder 19 detects the rotation angle of the worm wheel shaft 20 as an angle by which the worm wheel shaft 20 rotates with respect to a position corresponding to the null position of the encoder 19. When the worm-gear shaft 20 is turned from the position corresponding to the zero position of the encoder 19 to the position where the side surface of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 just contacts the V-groove, the angle of rotation of the worm-gear shaft 20 is called the standard rotation angle.
In order to ensure high switching precision, the calibration angle of the optical path switching device is larger than a standard rotation angle, so that the side surface of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 is pressed in the V-shaped groove with proper pretightening force to eliminate the switching gap of the worm gear mechanism.
In observation mode, the speed reduction motor 7 in the optical path switching device is turned off, the optical fiber fixing rod 15 is located at a position completely separated from the optical path of the space coronarism, and the starlight enters the optical path of the space coronarism.
The action of the optical path switching device for switching the space coronaries from the self-calibration mode to the observation mode is as follows: the gear motor 7 is started to drive the side face of the optical fiber fixing rod 15 to rotate towards the direction of separating from the V-shaped groove until the side face of the optical fiber fixing rod rotates to the position corresponding to the zero position of the encoder 19, and the gear motor 7 is closed. The optical path switching device completes switching from the self-calibration mode to the observation mode.
The present invention is not limited to the specific technical solutions described in the above embodiments, and other embodiments may be made in the present invention in addition to the above embodiments. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions of equivalents, and alterations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
