付けである。The lens barrel 5 of the large reflective astronomical telescope according to this embodiment is placed vertically on a lifting device 6 for assembly or disassembly (see FIG. 2). A support flange 7 is attached to the bottom of the lens barrel 5. On this support flange 7, curved receiving plates 8 are removably erected at equiangular three positions. Each receiving plate 8 is made of "crystalline plastic" that comes into contact with the outer surface of the main reflecting mirror 3.
Two supports 9 made of Duracon (trade name) are attached.

完了する。The main reflecting mirror 3, whose outer surface is supported by the support 9 and whose bottom surface is supported by the mounting table 10, has an annular body 12.
The upper part of the outer periphery is pressed down. That is, the three legs 13 provided on the annular body 12 are inserted from above into the mounting holes 14 provided with the support flange 7, and the nuts 15 are attached to the lower ends of the legs 13, thereby supporting the main reflecting mirror 3. is completed.

ぼdi−d2に相当する隙間d3が生じてしまう。For convenience of explanation, a comparative example using a conventional metal support 16 is shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b). Figure 3(a)
1 shows a state in which the metal support 16 is supported in close contact with the outer surface of the main reflecting mirror 3. And this figure 3 (a
), when the surrounding temperature of the main reflecting mirror 3 increases, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the coefficient of thermal expansion of the support flange 7 made of metal becomes higher than that of the main reflecting mirror 3 made of glass is large, the length dl by which the support flange 7 expands outward becomes larger than the length d2 by which the main reflecting mirror 3 expands outward,
As a result, a gap d3 approximately corresponding to di-d2 is created between the metal support 16 and the main reflecting mirror 3.

を回避することができる。The metal support 16 itself also undergoes some thermal expansion toward the inner main reflecting mirror 3, but the thermal expansion of the support flange 7 is overwhelmingly larger, so the gap d3 is canceled out. Not which one. However, the support body 9 made of Duracon (trade name) according to the present invention shown in FIG. 3(C)
Since the coefficient of thermal expansion is much larger than that of glass or the like, the support body 9 itself causes a large thermal expansion toward the main reflecting mirror 3 on the inside, and can fill the gap d3. Therefore,
The support body 9 made of DURACON (trade name) always comes into contact with the outer surface of the main reflecting mirror 3 both at low temperatures and at high temperatures, and can support the main reflecting mirror 3 reliably. Note that the shape of the support 3 can be used to cope with sudden changes in temperature that the thermal expansion of the support 9 cannot keep up with. That is, this support 3
There is a recess 17 on the abutting surface of the support plate 9 which is in a non-contact state, and a predetermined gap I! between the back surface of the support body 9 and the receiving plate 8! (See Figure 1) are provided respectively, so the temperature around the main reflecting mirror 3 drops rapidly, and the support body 9 applies a strong force to the main reflecting mirror 3.
Even if the main reflecting mirror 3 is pressed against the outer surface of the main reflecting mirror 3, the supporting member 9 easily bends and deforms, thereby avoiding distortion and breakage of the main reflecting mirror 3.
次に、主反射鏡3の組立・分解について説明する。Next, assembly and disassembly of the main reflecting mirror 3 will be explained.
組 立(第4図参照)
前述のように主反射鏡3を支持フランジ7上の一定高さ

鏡3を載せる。Assembly (see Figure 4) As mentioned above, it is necessary to support the main reflecting mirror 3 horizontally at a certain height on the support flange 7, so the main reflecting mirror 3
For the assembly, a block gauge B having a height corresponding to the above-mentioned height gauge is used. That is, first, the block gauge B is set at equiangular triangular positions on the support flange 7, and the main reflecting mirror 3 is placed on it.
この主反射鏡3をブロックゲージBの上に載せた状態で

継がれることとなる。When the main reflecting mirror 3 is placed on the block gauge B, a constant height and horizontality are maintained perfectly. From this state, the mounting table 1 is screwed onto the support flange 7.
Turn the screw 11 of 0 to gradually raise the mounting table lO,
The upper part of each mounting table 10 is brought into contact with the bottom of the main reflecting mirror 3. Then, if the block gauge B is removed thereafter, the mounting table 10 will take the place of the block gauge B, and the above-mentioned height and leveling will be taken over by the mounting table 10 as it is.

は副反射鏡にも適用できる。Disassembly (see No. 5) The main reflecting mirror 3 needs to be removed from the lens barrel 5 from time to time for re-plating of the reflecting surface 3a, etc. In such a case, the lens barrel 5
is set on the lifting device 6, the support flange 7 is removed from the lens barrel 5, the lifting device 6 is lowered, and only the support flange 7 is taken out. Then, the annular body 12 and the receiving plate 8 are removed from the support flange 7 that has been taken out. Then,
The main reflector 3 is simply placed on the mounting table lO, but since the constant height L of the main reflector 3 is maintained, the portion corresponding to this height L must be touched. Main reflector 3
It can be easily lifted up and carried directly to the work site. Conventionally, consideration was not given to providing this height L, so it required 4 to 5 workers to remove the main reflector 3, but in the case of the present invention, it can be disassembled and carried by one person. can. In addition, if the main reflector is 60 cm or more, the weight exceeds 100 kg, so two people are required in that case. In addition, although the main reflecting mirror was used as an example in the above description, the present invention can also be applied to a sub-reflecting mirror.
