Detailed Description
The design method of the invention divides the design of the umbilical cable into two parts in order to achieve the unification of the universality and the specificity of the cable: cable designs and drop electrical connector satellite side designs. The cable design considers the universality and the satellite end design considers the specificity of the drop electric connector. Therefore, when the same umbilical cable is connected with the falling-off electric connector satellite ends of different satellites, different electric measurement tasks can be completed. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the following steps:
1. cable point number design
In the satellite electrical measurement process, YF5-127T type drop-out electrical connectors (129 cable points in total, 127 number numbered points, and C, D two letter points) are generally selected, and are designed to be three branch ends for enveloping all the cable points, and 2Y 2-50 type (50 cable points per electrical connector) and 1Y 2-36 type (36 cable points) electrical connectors are used for 136 cable points, as shown in fig. 2.
The universality of the umbilical cable is considered, each cable point is fully utilized, and the short-circuit processing of the cable points is not carried out at the cable end.
1.1 Point number assignment scheme
The cable point is divided into two parts: a power cable point and a signal cable point.
Three Y2 electrical connectors were divided into two parts: 2Y 2-50 ends are power ends, and cable points in the electric connector are all power cable points and are used for transmitting energy; the 1Y 2-36 terminal is a signal terminal, and the cable points in the electric connector are all signal cable points used for transmitting signals.
1.2 Power endpoint number design
The power ends and the power cable points of the cable end of the drop electric connector are connected one by using cable cores. In order to prevent wiring errors, power cable points with the same point number in the 2 power ends are connected with power supply ends of the same equipment.
1.3 Signal endpoint number design
And connecting the 29 signal cable points of the cable end of the drop electric connector with the 29 signal cable points in the signal end one by one.
At this time, the signal branch end still has 7 signal cable points, and the 7 points are respectively connected with 7 signal cable points in the drop-off electric connector by using cable cores. Namely, 7 signal cable points are arranged in the cable end of the falling electric connector, and each point uses two cable core wires which are respectively connected with the two signal cable points in the signal end.
Therefore, in the umbilical cable, 136 cable cores are in total.
2. Design of satellite terminal number of drop-out electric connector
The method considers the specificity of different small satellites in electrical measurement and fully utilizes each cable point to carry out short circuit processing on the cable point at the satellite end of the drop electric connector.
The cable point is divided into a power cable point and a signal cable point at the satellite end of the shedding electric connector corresponding to the umbilical cable.
2.1 Point number distribution for Signal Cable
And determining whether redundant signal cable points exist in the falling electric connector according to the number of signal cable points required by satellite electric measurement. And if the redundant signal cable points exist, carrying out short-circuit processing on the satellite end of the falling electric connector. The method comprises the following specific steps:
the satellite electrical measurement requires a command signals and b measurement signals. Then there is
a+b≤29
Let p be 29- (a + b) be the remaining signal cable point (if a + b is 29, then p is 0, and the following assignment still applies).
And at the satellite end of the shedding electric connector, the rest p signal cable points are in short circuit with other signal cable points which correspond one to one. Because of the original 7 one-to-two signal cable points on the umbilical cable, it is possible to obtain that there are (7+ p) signal channels using two cable cores.
According to the electrical measurement requirement of the satellite, the command signal and the measurement signal of the satellite are respectively sequenced from high to low according to the importance.
2.1.1 Allocation of Command Signal points
In order to improve the reliability of the command transmission, the aforementioned (7+ p) channels using two cable cores are used as the command transmission channels. According to the importance sorting result, if the channels of the two redundant cable cores exist, the channels are distributed to important measurement signals; if not, the relative secondary instruction uses the transmission channel of a single cable core. The method comprises the following specific steps:
setting the number of command signals as d, according to the command signals and the result of ranking the importance of the measurement signals,
if (7+ p) > d, namely the number of channels using two cable cores is larger than the number of command signals, allocating ((7+ p) -d) transmission channels using two cable cores to important measurement signals;
if (7+ p) < d, i.e. the number of channels using two cable cores is smaller than the number of command signals, (d- (7+ p)) relatively secondary command signals are used for the transmission channel of a single cable core.
2.1.2 assigning measurement Signal points
And after the instruction signal is distributed, the rest signal channels are used as measuring signal channels. According to the importance ranking result, the relatively important measuring signals are transmitted by using two cable core transmission channels, and the other measuring signals are transmitted by using a single cable core transmission channel.
2.2 Power Point number assignment
The power transmission cable point is divided into three parts, namely a power supply positive point of the solar cell simulator, a power supply positive point of a direct current power supply and power supply negative points of all equipment, the three parts are not connected with each other, and the direct current power supply and the solar cell simulator share the power supply negative points. The power supply positive points of different solar cell simulators are not connected, and the power supply negative points of all power supply equipment are in short circuit.
In the electric connectors at the two power branch ends of the umbilical cable, the power supply equipment ends corresponding to the cable points with the same point number are the same, so that the number of the power supply positive points, the number of the power supply positive points of the direct-current power supply and the number of the power supply negative points of all the equipment of each solar cell simulator are even. The specific point number assignment scheme is as follows:
2.2.1 determining the number wg (wg is an even number) of positive points of power supply of the direct-current power supply according to factors such as the use requirement of the direct-current power supply during satellite electrical measurement, the current-carrying capacity of a cable and the like;
setting the current-carrying capacity of a single cable core as IgThe supply current required by the satellite is I, so that the number of cable cores (namely the number of positive supply points) required by the positive supply end is W
w=I/Ig
By integrating factors such as redundancy design and wiring error prevention, wg is an even number which is more than or equal to w.
2.2.2 determine the number of power supply points per solar cell simulator.
If the number of the used solar cell simulators is ss, the positive power supply point number of each solar cell simulator is sa, and the negative power supply point number of each solar cell simulator is sb, in order to ensure that the equipment ends corresponding to the cable points with the same point number are the same in the two power branch ends, sa and sb are both even numbers, the order is made
(100-wg)/ss=aa…………bb
In the formula, aa is a quotient and bb is a remainder.
Let cc be the largest even number equal to or less than aa.
If cc/2 is even, then
sa=sb=cc/2
If cc/2 is odd, considering that all the supply negatives are connected and sa and sb are even, it can be obtained
sa=cc/2+1
sb=cc/2-1
2.2.3 if there are unused power points, then the power supply positive points of some solar cell simulators can be increased.
And sequentially adding 2 power supply positive points to each solar cell simulator according to the sequence of the solar cell simulator from the rear to the front in the shunting process.

Assuming a satellite, 4 solar array simulators are needed to supply power to the satellite during electrical measurement, and a direct current power supply (the supply current is less than 5A) is used only during power supply interface inspection (the use time is very short). The electrical measurement requires 6 command signals and 13 signal measurements. According to the method, the design scheme of the umbilical cable is as follows:
