The invention discloses a thermally-induced fusing
steel ball lock pressing and releasing mechanism which comprises a base, a hoop, a restraining
rope, an unlocking spring, a lock column, a heater, a pressing sleeve, a pressing cap, a pressing rod, a locking nut, a force bearing bowl, a sliding block, a pin pulling spring, a
steel ball and a
set screw. Locking and releasing of the pressing and releasing mechanism are achieved through the relative position relation among the locking column, the clamping hoop and the pressing rod, an unlocking spring is installed between the locking column and the clamping hoop, and a restraining
rope is bound between the locking column and the clamping hoop. The restraint
rope restrains the position between the lock column and the hoop, so that the pressing and releasing mechanism is in a locked state, and the spring is in a compressed state; a heater is installed on the restraint rope, the heater is powered on, the restraint rope is fused, the unlocking spring pushes the hoop to move by a certain distance, and the pressing and releasing mechanism is changed into an unlocking and releasing state from a locking state. The pressing and releasing mechanism has the characteristics of simple structure, light weight, low
impact, low cost, wide temperature adaptability, high locking and unlocking reliability and the like.
