Space expandable exposure experiment platform based on spherical 5R mechanism

Abstract

The invention relates to a spherical 5R mechanism-based space expandable exposure experiment platform, which comprises a central module, a lead screw nut transmission mechanism, a connecting rod assembly, spherical 5R mechanisms, a driving mechanism and expansion blocks, and is characterized in that a plurality of expansion blocks are hinged to the peripheral edge of the central module, and a spherical 5R mechanism is hinged between every two adjacent expansion blocks; the inner side face of each unfolding block is connected with at least one connecting rod assembly, the driving mechanism is connected with the lead screw nut transmission mechanism and drives the lead screw nut transmission mechanism to drive the connecting rod assemblies to move, and the unfolding blocks and the spherical 5R mechanisms are driven by the connecting rod assemblies to be synchronously folded and unfolded. According to the exposure experiment platform, the unfolding block and the spherical 5R mechanism are folded and unfolded through cooperation of the lead screw nut transmission mechanism and the connecting rod assembly, the exposure experiment platform is folded towards the center when folded, smaller launching space is occupied, the surface area for exposure experiments is effectively increased when the exposure experiment platform is unfolded, the number of exposure experiments capable of being carried out is increased, and the development efficiency is improved. And a relatively large folding and unfolding ratio is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to space exposure, in particular to a space expandable exposure experiment platform based on a spherical 5R mechanism. Background technique [0002] The demand for space missions is gradually increasing, and the structural size of the corresponding spacecraft is getting larger and larger, but this is in contradiction with the rocket's carrying space and capabilities. The deployable mechanism can complete the transformation from the folded state to the unfolded state under the control of commands, and After unfolding, it has a large envelope size and a certain degree of rigidity, and can carry a specified load mechanism. Therefore, it is possible to choose an expandable mechanism with a folding function, which is expected to solve this problem. [0003] Space exposure experiments are an important way to explore space science. The prerequisite for extravehicular exposure experiments is that the spacecr...
