Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of the connection-separation mechanism of spacecraft, in particular to a connection and separation mechanism driven by SMA (shape memory alloy). Background technique
[0002] The spacecraft needs a variety of connection-detachment mechanisms to realize the connection and unlocking functions, such as the separation of multi-stage launch vehicles, the deployment of solar wings on satellites or spacecraft, and so on. At present, most of these devices are pyrotechnic bolts (also known as explosive bolts) and paraffin drivers. The pyrotechnic bolts will cause impact and cause pollution problems during the unlocking and separation process, while the paraffin driver has a complex structure and slow operation. With the development of the new generation of small satellites, especially the emergence of the new generation of small satellites, the contradiction between the defects of the existing technology and the rapi...
