Automatic adsorption locking connection mechanism for space truss connection

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic adsorption locking connection mechanism for space truss connection. The automatic adsorption locking connection mechanism comprises a joint piece and a groove piece which are in fit connection with each other, a connecting head at the end part of the joint piece is provided with a petal-shaped protrusion, and the groove piece is of a cylindrical structure; a connecting groove is formed in the groove piece, and a groove in the connecting groove is matched with the protrusion; and magnetic poles used for automatic adsorption are arranged on the position, opposite to the connecting groove, of the connecting head, and magnetic poles used for adsorption and rotating to lock the mechanism are arranged on the connecting head and the side wall of the connecting groove. The automatic adsorption locking connection mechanism is a connecting device which can realize automatic adsorption connection and self locking in a certain range, the structure is reliablyconnected and firmly locked, and the automatic adsorption locking connection mechanism can be reused.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of space operation and space truss construction, in particular to an automatic adsorption locking connection mechanism for space truss connection. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of space technology, the role of space systems in human daily life has become more and more prominent. The current research situation of space technology has gradually expanded from exploring and utilizing space to exploring, utilizing and controlling space. With the continuous improvement of human beings' capabilities in space research, development and application, space experiments have also put forward higher and higher requirements for test conditions, and many tasks require astronauts to operate out of the warehouse. However, the space environment of the universe is complex, whether it is a vacuum environment, cosmic radiation, or fast-moving space debris, they are all very dangerous. The present inven...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Screw fixing is a traditional fixed connection method, but it needs to cooperate with screws and nuts, and install and fix by rotating. The problem in operation is that in addition to the connected parts, there are additional accessories screws and nuts. Even if the nuts are fastened on the connectors in advance, screws are required to complete the fixation

And even if it is manual operation, there is still the problem that the screw holes are difficult to align, not to mention the operation by the mechanical arm. Not only that, but the tightening degree of the screws is also difficult to evaluate

[0009] Compared with the screw connection method, the welding connection method has higher connection strength, but the process is very complicated

In the harsh space environment, the welding process is difficult to carry out, and the welding process will generate high temperature, which will have a serious impact on the working parts, and the heating of the structural components will also change their strength

[0010] Riveting is similar to screwing, and additional parts need to be added, but it is a one-time connection. If the rivet is removed after being equipped, it will be invalid and cannot be reused
