Abstract

The invention discloses an expandable landing ladder with a shape memory effect and relates to the field of spaceflight. The expandable landing ladder is used for solving the problem that an existinglanding ladder is complex in structure and large in weight and consequently bears the large weight during launching. Two omega-shaped shape memory composite beams are oppositely closed; a gap betweenthe two omega-shaped shape memory composite beams is filled with shape memory foam; two resistance-type heating sheets are pasted to the inner surfaces of the two omega-shaped shape memory composite beams correspondingly, and the resistance-type heating sheets are used for increasing the temperature of the omega-shaped shape memory composite beams to be larger than the glass-transition temperatureof the omega-shaped shape memory composite beams in the power-on state, so that the omega-shaped shape memory composite beams are expanded; and the shape memory foam has compressibility and is used for providing the extra bearing capacity for expanding of the omega-shaped shape memory composite beams. The expandable landing ladder serves as an important bridge for connecting a lander with the surface of a planet.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lightweight, expandable and contractible landing ladder, which belongs to the field of aerospace. Background technique [0002] In the "China's Aerospace" published in 2000, China pointed out that it is necessary to "develop advance research on deep space exploration focusing on lunar exploration" and "occupy a relatively important position in the field of space science in the world, and carry out distinctive space exploration research." . And in 2003, the "China Lunar Exploration Project" was officially launched, and in 2016, the "China Mars Exploration Program" was officially established. Whether it is the lunar exploration project or the Mars exploration program, after the probe lands successfully, whether the rover can be released smoothly is the key to the realization of the exploration plan, and the landing ladder of the rover is an important bridge connecting the lander and the surface of the planet, so designing a T...
