Space station extravehicular service robot with flexible arm and working method of space station extravehicular service robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a space station extravehicular service robot with a flexible arm and a working method of the space station extravehicular service robot. The space station extravehicular service robot comprises a flexible bionic maintenance mechanism, a flexible bionic monitoring mechanism, a moving mechanism and a control host, the flexible bionic maintenance mechanism is used for checking and maintaining the outer surface of a space station cabin and equipment outside the cabin, the flexible bionic monitoring mechanism is used for monitoring the outer surface of the space station cabin and the state of the equipment outside the cabin; when the moving mechanism is folded, the moving mechanism is configured to form a frame body and arranged around the flexible bionic maintenance mechanism and the flexible bionic monitoring mechanism in a sleeving mode, and when the moving mechanism is unfolded, the moving mechanism is configured to move on the outer surface of the space station cabin. According to the space station extravehicular service robot with the flexible arm, the problems of extravehicular small-range monitoring and extravehicular surface and equipment state inspection at present can be solved, the situation that extravehicular instruments are short of maintenance and repair for a long time, consequently, the on-orbit performance of the space station is affected is avoided, and interference can be carried out on extravehicular key equipment of the space station when the space station is subjected to close-range tracking of an external spacecraft.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aerial robots, in particular to a space station extravehicular service robot with a flexible arm and a working method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of aerospace technology, miniaturized and functional robots are providing extravehicular services for improving the on-orbit performance and safe operation of space stations and large spacecraft. At present, the types of robots are becoming more and more diversified, and the scope of applications is also becoming more and more diverse. However, most of the current robots are used for on-orbit testing of modular functions and realization of a single task. Few special robots are designed for extravehicular services, and on-orbit services are carried out for specific tasks outside the vehicular, and small-scale surveillance outside the vehicular is carried out. , external surface and equipment status detection, faulty equipment capt...
