AI Technical Summary
Existing magnetic locking devices for spacecraft components face challenges in maintaining stable alignment and securing heavy elements, particularly under varying environmental conditions and during spacecraft maneuvers.
A magnetic force locking device utilizing permanent magnets with specific polarities and configurations to stabilize and secure elements within a spacecraft, ensuring intrinsic stability and alignment, even with heavy components.
The device provides robust and stable alignment and securing of heavy elements within spacecraft, maintaining stability under diverse environmental conditions and during maneuvers.
Description

Claims
1. Magnetic force locking device, characterised by the fact that it provides at least three support bars (1) comprising sections made of permanent magnets, said bars being locked by annular elements (2), arranged vertically, which surround said sections, further permanent magnets being provided on the internal surface of said annular elements (2), it being provided that the magnetic force exerted by said further permanent magnets determines the suspension of each of said bars (2) in a specific position within the annular element in which it is inserted, finally it being provided that said bars are arranged radially with respect to each other and that all are fixed at their internal end (Γ) to a single structure (4) to be supported, placed centrally with respect to the radial symmetry of said bars (1).
2. Locking device, according to claim 1, characterised by the fact that it provides for the presence of a portal (12) arranged above the structure (4) and aligned with respect to a pair of aligned arms (1), above said portal (12) there being a horizontally arranged annular element (2'), which on its internal surface presents a plurality of permanent magnets, it being provided that inside said annular element (2') a further bar (5) of reduced dimensions is inserted which presents a section made up of permanent magnets, which interact with the permanent magnets present inside the annular element (2'), it being provided that the end (5') of the bar (5) is fixed to the structure (4) to be supported, this making sure that the further element (2) which supports the bar (5) by magnetic suspension acts as a further support element for the structure (4). Ing. (Pietro (Beifó / Zó 3. Locking device, according to indication 2, characterised by the fact that in correspondence with the radial centre line between two consecutive arms (1) there are radial elements (6), said radial elements (6) being of the same number as the consecutive arms (1), it being further provided that in correspondence with each radial structure (6) a small arm (15) is fixed, to which in turn is fixed an annular element (2”), arranged vertically, which has permanent magnets on the internal surface, it being further provided that within each of said annular elements (2”), a further small arm (20) is inserted, also comprising, in its corresponding portion, a section of permanent magnet, which magnetically interferes with the magnetic elements present inside the annular element (2),furthermore, it is foreseen that there are means which are supported on the upper surface (10') of the support plane (10) and which support said arms (20), finally it is foreseen that a further annular element (2”') is fixed to each of the annular elements (2”), arranged horizontally, there being permanent magnets inside said further annular element (2”') and a further arm (30) is inserted inside it, which also has permanent magnets which interact with the permanent magnets present inside the annular element (2”'), said arm (30) being supported by the horizontal support plane (10).
4. Locking device, according to claim 3, characterised in that the support plane (10) is supported by columns (50), in turn supported by a second lower support plane (100), it being provided that from the upper surface of said second support plane (100) two uprights (40) arise, which in turn support a further annular element (2IV) which also has the Eng.(Pietro Bettetto inside it a plurality of permanent magnets, it being foreseen that within said further annular element (2IV) a vertically arranged arm (25) is inserted, fixed in correspondence with its upper end (25') to the lower surface of the structure (4) to be supported, contributing to the support of the aforementioned, it being foreseen that the arm (25) presents a section of permanent magnets, in correspondence with the area in which it is inserted in the annular element (2IV), determining, also in this case, the magnetic suspension of the arm (25).
