Abstract

A gripping mechanism for replacing spatial on-orbit modules relates to a gripping mechanism for replacing spatial modules, and aims to solve problems that an existing gripping mechanism for replacing spatial on-orbit modules is complex in structure, single in function, large in volume, heavy in weight and low in positioning precision and is inflexible. A stepping motor is mounted in a driving rack, a transition plate is connected onto an upper end surface of the driving rack, a conical positioning piece is disposed on the upper end surface of the transition plate, a driven rack is covered on the outer portion of the conical positioning piece, two positioning columns arranged radially are symmetrically mounted on the lower portion of the conical positioning piece, the upper end of a screw is connected with the conical positioning piece in a threaded manner, a wedge-shaped slider is connected onto the screw, the lower end of the screw is connected with the stepping motor, second notches are arranged on the conical positioning piece, tubular columns are mounted on the tops of the second notches in a clamped manner, conveying pipes are communicated with counter bored holes of the tubular columns, inclined surfaces of the tubular columns are abutted to the wedge-shaped sliders, and a spring is arranged between each of catches and the conical positioning piece. The gripping mechanism is used for on-orbit module service for a spacecraft and on-orbit connecting tasks.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a grasping mechanism for replacing a space module, in particular to a grasping mechanism for replacing a space on-orbit module, and belongs to the technical field of aerospace. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the world's aerospace industry in the 21st century and the continuous deepening of space exploration, space on-orbit technologies such as satellite capture and recovery, on-orbit assembly and maintenance, and scientific experiment load care have gradually attracted the attention of various countries, thus making on-orbit capture (OOC, On-Orbit Capture) technology has become a key technology that must be solved in On-Orbit Servicing (OOS, On-Orbit Servicing). [0003] On-orbit capture technology refers to the technology to capture space targets without human or unmanned participation. As early as the 1970s and 1980s, with the continuous expansion of space missions, in 1984, the United States use...
