Spherical walking device of planet surface detector

Abstract

The invention discloses a spherical walking device of a planet surface detector, relates to the technical field of space detectors, and aims at solving the problem that the device is easily damaged and easily turns over due to the fact that an existing detector walks by virtue of runners at the lower part of a substrate. The spherical walking device of the planet surface detector is provided with a spherical outer cover, a main shaft, an eccentric weight plate, a walking control device and a steering control device, wherein a motor I of the walking control device is movably connected with a belt pulley I on the main shaft through a belt I; a transmission wheel of a motor II of the steering control device is fixedly connected with a pendulum bob; and a main control computer, a power supply and a detection device all are fixed at centre-of-gravity positions at two sides of the eccentric weight plate. The spherical walking device is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, safe and reliable, and the walking speed can be greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aerospace probes, in particular to a spherical traveling device for planetary surface probes. Background technique [0002] At present, the detectors operating on the planet in the field of aerospace are basically fixed on the upper end of the base with multiple runners installed below, and the detectors can walk on the surface of the planet by the runners, so that the detector can detect different positions on the surface of the planet. or draw materials. However, the probe is fixed above the base, which not only exposes the equipment, instruments and driving devices on the probe to the outside and is vulnerable to damage from the harsh environment on the planet's surface; Rollover accidents are prone to occur when the probe rolls over, because the probe cannot continue to work after it rolls over, resulting in the probe being scrapped; at the same time, the probe needs to maintain a low speed to walk i...

However, the probe is fixed above the base, which not only exposes the equipment, instruments and driving devices on the probe to the outside and is vulnerable to damage from the harsh environment on the planet's surface; Rollover accidents are prone to occur when the probe rolls over, because the probe cannot continue to work after it rolls over, resulting in the probe being scrapped; at the same time, the probe needs to maintain a low speed to walk in the harsh environment on the surface of the planet relying on the wheels, usually in a The distance traveled by the probe in a year is only about one kilometer.
