Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aerospace technology, and in particular to a satellite-rocket separation unlocking actuator. Background Art

[0002] There are many separation actions during the launch of a spacecraft, such as stage separation, rocket-satellite separation, fairing separation, etc. These actions are implemented by the corresponding separation devices, and the triggering of the actions is completed by the actuator. The actuator is an important device of the aerospace separation unlocking mechanism and is one of the keys to the realization of actions such as rocket separation, fairing separation, and stage separation.

[0003] Existing separation devices are generally operated by pyrotechnics, which have the advantages of high energy density and fast unlocking speed. However, the disadvantages of pyrotechnics are also very prominent, such as poor tolerance to complex electromagnetic environments, large impact force of pyrotechnics, strict requirements on assembly environment and transportation conditions of pyrotechnics, and non-repeatable testing. Non-actively driven actuators can avoid the above disadvantages. Shape memory alloys have shape memory function and can be changed in shape by electric drive. The power source used for actuators is reliable and convenient.

[0004] Patent CN113753268A discloses a satellite-rocket separation unlocking actuator, including an actuator housing and a tail end cover, a guide seat and a guide frame installed in the actuator housing, a fixed seat installed in the guide seat, a pull pin installed in the fixed seat, a guide frame and a mounting portion for mounting in cooperation with the guide seat, and a guide column arranged in the mounting portion, an elastic member installed on the guide column, the elastic member resists the pull pin, a memory alloy wire for driving the fixed seat to move is installed in the inner cavity of the guide frame, and an aviation connector for electrifying the memory alloy wire is installed on the tail end cover. However, the following problems arise in the preparation process of the above structure: 1) The guide seat, the guide frame and the fixed seat need to be accurately matched to ensure accurate installation. However, the satellite-rocket separation unlocking actuator is small in size, and to ensure the connection accuracy of the three structures, the selection of machining tools is demanding, and it needs to have an extremely high aspect ratio, which leads to serious lack of tool rigidity, seriously affecting the machining accuracy, resulting in extremely low parts machining efficiency, extremely high cost, and inability to guarantee the yield rate. 2) The fixed seat is clamped and assembled by the guide seat and the guide frame. If one of the guide seat and the guide frame makes a mistake during the preparation or assembly process, the fixed seat may be unable to move, requiring workers to have high repair skills, which invisibly increases production costs and production cycles. If the cumulative error is abnormally large, the fixed seat can move smoothly after the repair, but the matching pull pins are not coaxial with the guide seat and the outer cylinder of the actuator, resulting in part failure and the need to be remade. 3) The gap between the fixed seat and the guide seat and the guide frame is too large, which will directly lead to the skewed instability during the actuation of the actuator. This situation cannot be compensated by repair methods and the parts need to be remade.

A limiting mounting plate 3 is provided on the limiting mounting plate 3, extending toward the inside of the receiving cavity. The guide column 7 extends outward, and also includes an actuating block 8 in frictional contact with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity. An actuating pin 11 is installed on the actuating block 8. One end of the actuating pin 11 extends from the actuating pin through hole 101 to the outside of the housing 1.

In addition, the above structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0038] Both ends of each memory alloy wire 9 of the present invention extend outward and pass through the limit mounting plate 3 and the circuit board 4 in sequence and are fixedly connected to the circuit board 4. Both ends of each memory alloy wire 9 must pass through the circuit board 4 to ensure the firmness of the connection between each memory alloy wire 9 and the circuit board.

[0039] The machined surfaces of the actuating block 8, guide column 7, limit mounting plate 3 and support sleeve 5 of the present invention are basically external machined surfaces, and the internal machined surfaces only have the matching parts of the actuating block 8 and the actuating pin 11. The machined surfaces of the actuating block 8, guide column 7, limit mounting plate 3 and support sleeve 5 are all simple shapes, which are convenient for processing.

The elastic member of the present invention is a spring.

[0044] The length of the transverse groove 812 of the present invention is 2 / 3 of the length of the installation section 81, which can provide a larger contact area between the memory alloy wire and the installation section 81, ensure that the pressure of the memory alloy wire on the actuating block 8 is sufficiently small at high temperature, and ensure that the actuating block 8 is not damaged after repeated use.

[0045] The present invention designs a mounting section 81 through the structural design of the actuating block 8. The mounting section 81 can interact with the housing 1 and move along a straight line. The guide section 82 can be plugged into the guide column 7 and can move on the guide column 7. Both ends of the actuating block are guided to ensure the stability of the movement of the actuating block. The design of the transverse groove, the longitudinal groove and the extension groove can facilitate the connection between the memory alloy wire and the actuating block. The transverse groove, the longitudinal groove and the extension groove must have a certain depth to avoid leakage of the memory alloy wire, to ensure that the memory alloy wire is not worn, and to ensure the shrinkage effect and service life of the memory alloy wire.

[0046] The connecting hole 811 of the present embodiment includes an embedded section and a threaded section, the inner wall of the threaded section is provided with an internal thread, and the inner diameter of the embedded section is larger than the inner diameter of the threaded section; the actuating pin 11 includes a glued section tightly embedded in the embedded section, an extended section threadedly connected to the threaded section, and an extended section extending to the outside of the connecting hole 811, and the diameter of the glued section is greater than the diameter of the extended section and the diameter of the extended section; through the above-mentioned structural design, after the actuating pin and the actuating block are assembled, a mixed connection mode of screw connection and glue connection can be realized, the embedded section and the glued section can be glued, and the threaded section and the extended section can be screwed, thereby ensuring the firmness of the connection between the actuating pin and the actuating block, avoiding the original bonding structure, which is easy to loosen and cannot guarantee the actuation effect.

[0047] The slot 71 of the present invention is a V-shaped slot, and the bottom of the slot 71 is rounded; the V-shaped design has a certain anti-deformation ability and ensures sufficient rigidity during assembly. In addition, the slot 71 only needs to ensure the guiding function, and the purpose is to place it in the actuation process, so that a large relative rotation occurs to ensure the stable actuation of the memory alloy wire. Therefore, the opening accuracy of the slot 71 is not required to be high, and conventional processing machine tools can easily complete it, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost and assembly difficulty.

[0048] The corners of the connection between the transverse groove 812 and the longitudinal groove 813 of the present invention are rounded; the corners of the connection are rounded to ensure that the bending coefficient of the memory alloy wire is small enough to ensure that it will not bend and fail during use.
