UMBRELLA TYPE REFLECTOR HINGE, REFLECTOR OPENING CONTROL METHOD AND SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC H01Q15/20 F16C11/04 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hinged assemblies, a method and a system for controlling the process of opening folding reflectors of umbrella-type antennas. Result is achieved by the fact that the design of the known umbrella-type reflector hinge, comprising an elastic profiled tape, generating an elastic driving force of opening, placed between the disk-support and the spoke retainer disc with rigid fixation of one end of the elastic profiled tape on the working surface of the disk-support, and the other is on the working surface of the spoke retainer disc, a temperature sensor and a variable resistor consisting of a resistive track in the form of a circular sector and a slider are additionally included, wherein the resistive track is arranged on the end surface of the retainer disc around the bearing, and the slider is installed on the inner side of the side plate above the resistive track with provision of electrical contact between them, at the same time the temperature sensor is installed on the staple heater.

EFFECT: obtaining feedback on the hinge opening process in real time, monitoring and controlling the hinge opening process for a given time.
