Abstract

The utility model relates to a spatially expandable annular tensegrity integral antenna mechanism, which relates to an antenna mechanism. The invention solves the problems that a large number of mechanical connections are required in the process of unfolding and retracting the existing deployable loop antenna, resulting in large overall mass and low deployment reliability. The main-end firmware is fixedly connected to one end of the main-end connecting pipe through pins, and the other end of the main-end connecting pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the carbon fiber pipe. Two openings are processed on the side wall of the main-end connecting pipe along its length direction, each There is a locking leaf spring corresponding to each strip-shaped opening. The driving spring is located in the carbon fiber tube. The middle part of the guide slider is processed with an annular groove along its circumference. When the antenna mechanism is unfolded, the lower part of the locking leaf spring is clamped on the guide slider. At the annular groove of the block, the lower end of the guide slider is connected with the slider screw, the guide slider is located at the upper end of the driving spring, the auxiliary end firmware is fixed on the other end of the carbon fiber tube through the auxiliary end connector, and the tension of the overall rod The number is an even number. The invention is used in the field of wireless communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a foldable antenna mechanism, in particular to a space-expandable ring tension integral antenna mechanism, which belongs to the field of satellite wireless communication. Background technique [0002] With the development of human space industry, large antennas play an important role in various tasks, such as earth observation, deep space exploration, radio astronomy and other fields, and play a leading role in long-distance communication. Therefore, the large-scale antenna For the research hotspot of deployable antenna. In order to meet the capacity requirements of the transmitter, the large-aperture antenna must be made into a deployable form. Such a deployable antenna has high requirements on the mechanism, thermal environment, and radio frequency, and also needs to meet the deployment reliability, so it is a challenging multi-faceted design problem. Although the large-scale deployable loop antennas currently used can real...
