Abstract

The inflatable reflector has an air chamber (2) with supporting wall (1) and metallized reflecting layer (3) and inflation inlet (4).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Aufblase-Reflektor insbesondere für eine Parabol-Antenne oder für einen optischen Reflektor, damit gekennzeichnet, daß der Aufblase-Reflektor besteht aus einer eventuell mehreren Luftkammern (2) und eine eventuell gemeinsamen Tragwand (1), die mit elektromagnetisch und/oder optisch reflektierende Schicht (3) beschichtet ist. Die elektromagnetisch und/oder optisch reflektierende Schicht (3) kann als metallbeschichtete (Aluminium, Silber, Kupfer) Tragwand realisiert werden. Die eine oder mehreren einzelne Luftkammer sind mit Aufblase-Ventilen ausgestattet. Die Tragwand (1) ist mit dem Befestigungsnetz (5) aus Draht oder Seil befestigt. Die Tragwand (1) und die einzelnen Kammerwände könnten entweder aus dem Kunststoff, imprägnierter Gewebe oder Gummi ausgeführt sein, wobei die Oberfläche der Tragwand (1) mit einer elektromagnetisch und/oder optisch reflektierenden Schicht wie Metall (Silber, Gold, Kupfer, Aluminium) aufgetragen werden kann. Der Aufblase-Reflektor kann die Spiegeloberfläche einer Antenne darstellen. Ein Bestandteil der Antenne kann ein Halter sein.The invention relates to an inflating reflector, in particular for a parabolic antenna or for an optical reflector, characterized in that the inflating reflector consists of a possibly several air chambers ( 2 ) and a possibly common supporting wall ( 1 ), which are connected with electromagnetic and / or an optically reflective layer ( 3 ) is coated. The electromagnetic and / or optically reflective layer ( 3 ) can be realized as a metal-coated (aluminum, silver, copper) supporting wall. One or more individual air chambers are equipped with inflation valves. The supporting wall ( 1 ) is fastened with the fastening net ( 5 ) made of wire or rope. The support wall ( 1 ) and the individual chamber walls could either be made of plastic, impregnated fabric or rubber, the surface of the support wall ( 1 ) having an electromagnetic and / or optically reflective layer such as metal (silver, gold, copper, aluminum) can be applied. The inflation reflector can represent the mirror surface of an antenna. A holder can be part of the antenna.

Die Lösung nach der Anmeldung des Aufblase-Reflektors bietet extrem leichte Konstruktion eines Reflektors, bei minimalen Kosten im Vergleich zur Metallkonstruktion, große Aktive Oberfläche bei kleiner Transport-Größe und Gewicht, deswegen ist die Lösung geeignet für ein Reflektor eine Parabel-Antenne oder als optischer Siegel für Energie-Sammler für Photozellen, auf der Erde und im All, oder Erwärmung vom Wasser in einem Wärmeaustauscher. Eine Antenne mit dem Aufblase-Spiegel wegen extrem leichte Konstruktion und relative niedrige Transportgröße ist bestimmt vor allem für die vorübergehende "Feldbedingungen" für Militär, weiter für Fernsehübertragung von Forschungsexpeditionen, wo die Signalebene niedrig ist bzw. gibt es grössere Störung, Antenne grössere Güte weiter vor die Siegel ist sehr geeignet vor allem im Weltraumforschung Weltraum-Expeditionen, Expeditionen in die Hochgebirge und so weiter.The solution after registration of the inflation reflector offers extremely light construction a reflector, with minimal costs compared to the metal construction, large active Surface with small transport size and weight, that's why the solution is suitable for one Reflector a parabola antenna or as an optical seal for energy collectors for photocells, on earth and in space, or heating of water in a heat exchanger. A Antenna with the inflation mirror because of extremely light construction and relatively low Transport size is primarily intended for the temporary "field conditions" for military, further for television broadcasting of research expeditions where the signal level is low or if there is major interference, antenna of higher quality further in front of the seal is very suitable especially in space exploration space expeditions, expeditions to the high mountains and so on.
