Novel Mars rover

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel Mars rover which is mainly used to solve the problem that after the wheel surface is damaged, there is no way to repair and adjust an opening angle mechanism to make the Mars rover complete a series of movements. According to the novel Mars rover, wheels and master arm suspensions are symmetrically distributed on both sides of a vehicle main body, and each wheel isformed by an axle, a base and wheel pieces. The wheel pieces are spliced one by one and made of spaceflight rubber. If some wheel pieces are abraded, the damaged wheel pieces can be dismantled in a splicing mode and replaced with new ones. Each master arm suspension is composed of a main rocker arm and an auxiliary rocker arm on the two sides and a differential mechanism. The main rocker arm andthe auxiliary rocker arm are hinged to each other, a clutch is added at the position of a hinged point, the main rocker arm is formed by a main rocker arm long arm and a main rocker arm short arm, andan opening angle adjusting mechanism is arranged between the main rocker arm long arm and the main rocker arm short arm. When a clutch does not work or in a locked state, the folding and unfolding, wriggle and wheel lifting movements of the Mars rover are controlled by adjusting the opening angle mechanism. The novel Mars rover is used for scientific detection on the surface of Mars.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of Mars rover, in particular to a novel Mars rover. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, people's exploration of Mars has never stopped. Since 1997, the United States has continuously launched various Mars rovers to Mars to explore the soil, rocks and other resources on the surface. Faced with the pits on the surface of Mars , The uneven ground is a huge test for the wheels of the Mars rover. The "Curiosity" Mars rover launched by NASA in 2012, the damage of its wheels on the surface of Mars is intensifying. There are signs of damage on the surface of the vehicle wheel, with wear and holes on many surfaces. These coin-sized holes may be punctured by a sharp stone, or the material of the Mars rover wheel may be rusted, and the surface is very brittle Then long-term wear and tear will lead to wheel damage. With the deepening of the scientific investigation, the Mars r...

[0002] With the development of science and technology, people's exploration of Mars has never stopped. Since 1997, the United States has continuously launched various Mars rovers to Mars to explore the soil, rocks and other resources on the surface. Faced with the pits on the surface of Mars , The uneven ground is a huge test for the wheels of the Mars rover. The "Curiosity" Mars rover launched by NASA in 2012, the damage of its wheels on the surface of Mars is intensifying. There are signs of damage on the surface of the vehicle wheel, with wear and holes on many surfaces. These coin-sized holes may be punctured by a sharp stone, or the material of the Mars rover wheel may be rusted, and the surface is very brittle Then the long-term wear and tear will lead to wheel damage

With the deepening of the scientific investigation, the Mars rover is moving towards the foothills of Mount Sharp, because previous scientific research revealed that many sedimentary rock layers exposed in this area may be closely related to the geological history of Mars, which is also very important for scientists. A point of interest is of great significance to the breakthrough of scientific research. Although such wheel damage will not affect the completion of mission objectives, such wear and tear is indeed worrying
