Embodiment Construction

[0040] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Such as Figure 1 to Figure 18 As shown, the crank slider described in the present invention is a variable topology folding mechanism connected by a rigid hinge of the folding unit, including a deployable module and a rigid hinge 7. The specific structure and connection relationship are as follows:

[0042] The expandable module includes a rotating machine base 1, an extension arm 2 and a crank slider mechanism. The rotating machine base 1 is divided into upper and lower layers, and the upper and lower layers correspond to four hinge seats respectively. The hinge seats It is an arc-shaped hinge seat, and the arc-shaped plate of the hinge seat is nested on the inner side of the rotating machine base 1. The hinge seat can rotate 360° around the rotating machine base 1 under the constraint of the arc-shaped plate. The exte...

Abstract

The invention relates to a rigid hinge connecting variable-topology folding and unfolding mechanism with a crank block as a folding and unfolding unit. The rigid hinge connecting variable-topology folding and unfolding mechanism comprises unfoldable modules and a rigid hinge, each unfoldable module comprises a rotating machine base, a stretchable arm and a crank block mechanism, the upper and lower layers of the rotating machine bases correspond to four hinge bases, one ends of the stretchable arms are connected with the hinge bases through hinges, and the two sides of the stretchable arms areconnected with the crank block mechanism through hinges; each crank block mechanism comprises a driving rod, a transmission rod and a sliding block, wherein the driving rod, the transmission rod andthe sliding block are connected through a rotation pair, and the sliding block is embedded on the stretchable arm; and the rigid hinge is used for connecting the two unfoldable modules, and the two unfoldable modules can rotate relatively through a middle rotation pair of the rigid hinge. The rigid hinge connecting variable-topology folding and unfolding mechanism has the beneficial effects that repeated folding is achieved, the folding ratio is large, the folding process is simple, the driving manner is simple, the rigidity is large, the stability is high, and the reliability is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a folding mechanism, in particular to a variable topology folding mechanism in which a crank slider is connected with a rigid hinge of a folding unit. Background technique [0002] With the development of the aerospace industry, the folding mechanism has important application prospects in space communication, manned spaceflight, earth observation, deep space exploration, etc., and has become one of the research hotspots in the field of aerospace. However, due to the limited space of the spacecraft, the large folding ratio of the deployable mechanism is prompted. At present, many scholars from Harbin Institute of Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University and Beihang University are designing and developing the deployable mechanism. Research. [0003] Chinese patent 201610556701.2 discloses a folding mechanism for multi-board deployable antennas of spacecraft. This patent belongs to a planar folding antenna...
