Problems solved by technology

[0005] Current research on deployable mechanisms: the deployable mechanisms involved in patents CN202010392299.5 and CN202010010219.5 are all rigid, and the structural design is relatively complicated, most of which require rigid hinges and rigid rods. Big impact and heavy weight
Patent CN 201910787715.9 provides a ring-shaped expandable film antenna human-shaped rod mechanism, but the expansion and contraction of the film are completed by a complex drive system, which includes a drive device, a gear transmission device, a drum transmission device, etc. This kind of driving device not only has a large mass and volume, but also has a complicated structural design.
[0006] On the whole, there is no perfect research on the flexible thin-film expandable mechanism, especially the application of light-driven thin-film actuators in the field of space detection equipment, and with the improvement of space detection needs and requirements, traditional The rigid or semi-rigid deployable mechanism has the defects of large mass, cumbersome mechanism and high manufacturing cost.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a light-driven expandable flexible mechanism and a preparation method thereof. The expandable flexible mechanism is formed by winding and folding a flat plate structure in a single direction, and includes an active layer and an inert layer closely attached; The thermal expansion coefficient of the active layer is 5 to 18 times that of the inert layer; the active layer contains light-responsive fillers and low thermal expansion coefficients distributed uniformly in parallel (the thermal expansion coefficient is 3×10 ‑6 ~8×10 ‑6 ℃ ‑1 ) fibers / yarns; the preparation method is as follows: first arrange the fibers / yarns on a glass plate, and then scrape-coat the raw material I containing photoresponsive fillers and substance b to the glass plates arranging the fibers / yarns The active layer is formed on the surface of the active layer; then the raw material II is scraped onto the active layer to form an inert layer, and a flat film is obtained; finally, the flat film is extracted in a solvent to obtain a light-driven expandable flexible mechanism . The flexible and expandable mechanism of the invention has the advantages of simple preparation, strong wavelength selectivity and large folding degree.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of expandable mechanisms, and relates to a light-driven expandable flexible mechanism and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In terms of the application of the expandable mechanism, due to the limitation of the space and carrying capacity of the launch vehicle load compartment, various space exploration equipment, such as large antennas, solar panels, etc., are sent into space in a folded and compressed state, and then Unfold and assemble into the desired geometry. Therefore, the deployable mechanism has been widely used in the field of aerospace due to its convenient transportation characteristics, which also makes the development of small-volume and light-weight space exploration equipment a trend. This type of mechanism usually has two stable states, that is, a fully folded / folded state and a fully unfolded state. When it is in a folded state, the overall volume of this type of m...
