Abstract

The invention relates to manned aerospace space station scientific experiment operation equipment, in particular to a mechanical arm used for space station load on-orbit maintenance. The mechanical arm comprises a maintenance box and a load maintenance mechanical arm body hung upside down in the maintenance box. The load maintenance mechanical arm body has seven degrees of freedom, a quick locking mechanism and a camera module are arranged at the execution tail end, the quick locking mechanism is used for being connected with a maintenance tool, and the camera module is used for collecting image information of to-be-maintained loads. According to the mechanical arm, the minimization design of the size, weight and energy consumption can be realized, the functional requirement of carrying out load maintenance on a space station is met, and an astronaut autonomously completes or is assisted in completing load on-orbit in-place maintenance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to scientific experiment operation equipment of a manned space station, in particular to a mechanical arm used for on-orbit maintenance of space station loads. Background technique [0002] In order to explore the field of space, my country will soon build a space station, which will effectively promote the research activities of space science. Limited by the transportation capacity of the space and the earth, our country, like other countries, faces the difficulty of supplying space stations. Every time a cargo spacecraft goes up and down, it needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an operating platform for the space station. Supports in-orbit maintenance of payloads for scientific applications. [0003] In order to meet the operational needs of on-orbit load maintenance, my country's space station has arranged a load maintenance box to provide work space and basic resour...
