Omnibearing docking system and method based on flight array

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of space docking, and discloses an omnibearing docking system and method based on flight array. The outer end of a docking shell is fixedly provided with a driving steering engine through screws, the docking shell is cylindrical, the interior of the docking shell is hollow and serves as a steering engine rotating space, and a bearing ring is installed in the middle of the docking shell; a locking track ring is mounted on the inner ring of the bearing ring, and the inner side of the locking track ring is fixedly connected with a steering engine arm through a plurality of screws; a buffer block is mounted in a recess in the middle of the locking track ring, and is connected with the steering engine arm and the locking track ring through screws; and the side face of the buffer block is connected with the locking track ring through a fixing assembly. The system has obvious non-front-face butt joint capability, can realize structural locking between non-front faces of a flight array, and has the advantages of reliable connection, small occupied space and the like; and docking mechanisms are not active and passive, the two docking mechanisms are identical in structure and control principle except for the opposite rotation directions of the steering engines, and the uniformity of topological structures is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of space docking, and in particular relates to an all-round docking system and method based on flight arrays. Background technique [0002] At present: the development and application of UAV aerial docking has attracted great attention from various countries. People have put forward more requirements on the UAV's airborne time, information transmission between UAVs and the load of UAVs, and the modular design of operating units. high demands. Among them, the flight system composed of multiple UAVs is called a flight array. It is necessary to ensure a reliable docking relationship between any two units in the flight array, and sometimes the docking mechanism is required to have the ability to dock non-directly. The so-called non-directly opposite refers to: when the UAV forms an air array, all the surfaces other than the corresponding surface where the docking action occurs, its function is to ensure the re...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] (1) The existing aerial docking mechanism has a long axial distance, the docking action is discontinuous, and the position cannot be accurately determined

In addition, guiding the active docking device through the guide surface has the interference of collision, which is easy to cause mechanical loss of parts

[0009] (2) The docking mechanism based on electromagnetic characteristics can only complete the docking task directly opposite, and the docking performance of the system is poor

[0010] (3) The docking mechan
