Space cell robot used for truss in-orbit assembly

Abstract

The invention relates to a space cell robot used for truss in-orbit assembly. The space cell robot consists of interstitial cells, rotating cells, bidirectional interstitial cells, rotating joint cells, claw function cells, a ball head, a passive connecting head, a truss rod, an active connecting head, a groove, and a flange; the interstitial cells and the bidirectional interstitial cells form a connecting unit of the robot, various space cell robot configurations can be formed, the rotating cells and the rotating joint cells form a motion unit of the robot, and the mutual matching of the rotating cells and the rotating joint cells can achieve rotation work of any range in space; and the claw function cells are an end execution unit of the robot, through the synergy matching between the claw function cells and the motion unit, the groove of the active connecting head can be embedded into the flange of the passive connecting head, the assembly work of the truss rod is completed, magnetic automatic locking devices are designed on the active connecting head and the passive connecting head, and the reliability of the connection is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a space cell robot used for truss on-orbit assembly. Background technique [0002] As aerospace engineering gradually enters the space station era, on-orbit assembly technology will play an extremely important role. Due to the large size and complex structure of the truss, it can only be sent into orbit by space vehicles in batches, and then assembled in space. At present, the on-orbit assembly work is jointly completed by astronauts and traditional robots, but at the same time, the space environment is full of unknowns, and astronauts have great operational risks, while traditional robots have disadvantages such as high cost, single function, low redundancy, and poor flexibility. Therefore, a new robot is needed to avoid the complexity and high cost of truss assembly on orbit. Contents of the invention [0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a space cell robot for truss assembly on rail. [0004] The ba...
