Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of space deep exploration, and particularly relates to a primary encapsulation device for sampling on the surface of small celestial bodies. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the scope and scale of human space exploration, human activities are no longer limited to the Earth and near-Earth space, but have turned their attention to more distant deep space. On this basis, since small celestial bodies contain a large amount of information on the formation and evolution of the solar system and rich minerals, they have extremely high scientific and economic value. Effective exploration of small celestial bodies can develop and utilize small celestial body resources. There are many ways to explore small celestial bodies, and sample collection is one of the important exploration methods. NASA, ESA, and JAXA have all conducted sample collection and exploration on small celestial bodies. Currently, only Japan's "Hayabusa" 1 has successfully achieved contact with a small celestial body and sample return. It used the "Touch-and-Go" (TAG) method to achieve sample return from the Itokawa asteroid. That is, after contacting the surface of the asteroid, a metal bullet was launched to impact the surface of the asteroid to splash up fragments and dust, and the splashed fragments were collected through the hood-shaped structure at the end of the sampling device. It formed a closed channel with the sample canister to ensure that part of the sample entered the sample canister to complete the collection. However, due to the relatively long size of the hood-shaped structure, the fragments collided repeatedly in the channel after being splashed up, resulting in energy attenuation, and finally the amount of samples collected in the mission was extremely small.

[0003] Patent CN106198094 introduced a primary encapsulation device for lunar surface sampling. The device consists of a main body, a sample container, a sample discharge funnel, a container lid encapsulation assembly, a driving mechanism, and a container lid. The device can realize the spatial position switching between the container lid of the lunar soil sample and the sample discharge funnel to achieve the storage and automatic encapsulation of the lunar soil sample. Patent CN201310520682.4 introduced a multifunctional lunar surface sample collection and encapsulation device, which consists of a motor, a sampling device, and an encapsulation assembly. It transports lunar soil through a screw and seals the sample by means of a soft bag drawstring. The devices introduced in these two patents cannot realize secondary sample transportation, and the primary encapsulation and the sample container are both integrated structures, which are not suitable for the contact sampling state on the surface of small celestial bodies.

[0038] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0039] A primary encapsulation device for small celestial body surface sampling, comprising a driving assembly 1, an upper housing 2, a lower housing 3, a container cavity 4 and an encapsulation assembly 5. The upper housing 2 is connected to the container cavity 4 through the lower housing 3. A driving mounting plate is provided on one side of the upper housing 2, and the driving assembly 1 is fixedly mounted on the driving mounting plate;

[0040] The encapsulation assembly 5 is arranged in the container cavity 4. The encapsulation assembly 5 includes a first driven gear assembly 6 and a second driven gear assembly 7. The first driven gear body 61 of the first driven gear assembly 6 meshes with the first driving gear 13 of the driving assembly 1, and the second driven gear body 71 of the second driven gear assembly 7 meshes with the second driving gear 14 of the driving assembly 1. The lower housing 3 is integrally stepped. The top of the lower housing 3 is the first step. The inner ring of the first driven gear body 61 is fixedly connected to the first step of the lower housing 3 to realize the connection between the first driven gear assembly 6 and the lower housing 3. The inner ring of the second driven gear body 71 is fixedly connected to the container cavity 4 to realize the connection between the second driven gear assembly 7 and the container cavity 4. A top cover 8 is provided at the top of the container cavity 4. The top cover 8 and the container cavity 4 form a sample encapsulation cavity.

[0041] The driving assembly 1 includes a driving motor 11, a gear shaft 12, a first driving gear 13, a second driving gear 14 and a safety coupling 15. The driving motor 11 is arranged at the upper part of the driving mounting plate, and the gear shaft 12 is arranged at the lower part of the driving mounting plate. The output end of the driving motor 11 is connected to the gear shaft 12. The gear shaft 12 is successively provided with a first driving gear 13, a safety coupling 15 and a second driving gear 14 from top to bottom. The first driving gear 13 is connected to the outer ring of the mounting coupling. The inner ring of the safety coupling 15 is connected to the gear shaft 12 through a flat key to transmit torque. When the transmitted torque is greater than the slipping torque of the safety coupling 15, slipping starts between its inner ring and outer ring, realizing the rotation of the inner ring and the stop of the outer ring.

[0042] The first driven gear body 61 and the second driven gear body 71 have the same structure. Angular contact ball bearings are provided on the circumferential inner surfaces of the first driven gear body and the second driven gear body 71.

[0043] The first driven gear assembly 6 includes a first driven gear body 61, a nut seat 62 and a screw 63. The nut seat 62 includes a nut mounting ring 621 and a nut body 622. The circumferential outer surface of the nut body 622 is connected to the circumferential inner surface of the nut mounting ring 621 through a plurality of struts. The nut mounting ring 621 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the first driven gear body 61, and the screw 63 cooperates with the nut body 622.

[0044] A guide column 21 is provided inside the upper shell 2, and the guide column 21 is connected to the inner surface of the upper shell 2 through a number of pillars. A guide groove 22 with a Chinese-character-shaped cross-section is provided inside the guide column 21; a Chinese-character-shaped guide piece 64 is provided on the top of the screw 63, and a conical pressure door 65 is provided at the bottom of the screw 63. Preferably, a bellows is provided between the conical pressure door 65 and the top cover 8, and the bellows can be extended and retracted following the lifting and lowering of the screw 63 to protect the screw 63 and prevent the sample from entering the screw 63 and affecting the work; and the guide piece 64 is arranged in the guide groove 22 to realize the linear movement of the screw 63 in the vertical direction; at the same time, the Chinese-character-shaped guide piece 64 moves up and down in the guide groove 22, which can also prevent the screw 63 from rotating.

[0045] The No. 2 driven gear assembly 7 includes a No. 2 driven gear body 71, a top rotating door 72, and a bottom rotating door 73. The angular contact ball bearing of the inner ring of the No. 2 driven gear body 71 is sleeved to the middle and upper part of the container cavity 4. The No. 2 driven gear body 71 can rotate relative to the container cavity 4. The top rotating door 72 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the No. 2 driven gear body 71, and the bottom rotating door 73 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the No. 2 driven gear body 71, and both the top rotating door 72 and the bottom rotating door 73 can rotate with the No. 2 driven gear body 71.

[0046] A feed channel 41 is provided at the center of the bottom of the container cavity 4. The feed channel 41 and the container cavity 4 are integrally formed. The feed channel 41 connects the inside and the outside of the container cavity 4. Two air inlet pipes 43 for secondary air intake are provided at the bottom of the outer surface of the container cavity 4. The two air inlet pipes 43 are centrally symmetrical with respect to the feed channel 41. The secondary air inlet hole is designed as a tangential air intake to form a spiral airflow, thereby improving the sample transportation efficiency.

[0047] The inner diameter of the feed channel 41 is smaller than the diameter of the large circular end of the conical pressure door 65 , so as to ensure that the conical pressure door 65 can seal the feed channel 41 when in contact with the feed channel 41 .

[0048] Two top cover windows 81 are provided on the surface of the top cover 8, and the two top cover windows 81 are symmetrical relative to the center of the top cover 8. Two top rotating door windows 721 corresponding to the top cover windows 81 are provided on the top of the top rotating door 72; a bottom rotating door window 731 is provided on both sides of the bottom rotating door 73, and the two bottom rotating door windows 731 are symmetrical relative to the center of the bottom rotating door 73. Cavity windows 42 corresponding to the two bottom rotating door windows 731 are provided on both sides of the container cavity 4.

[0049] The cavity window 42 is provided with a filter screen, which is a micro-particle filter screen and is used to remove the sample delivery gas during the sample collection stage and filter the sample in the container cavity 4.

[0050] Labyrinth seals and sealing rings are provided between the container cavity 4 and the bottom rotating door 73, between the top cover 8 and the top rotating door 72, between the lower housing 3 and the top rotating door 72, between the upper housing 2 and the nut seat 62, and between the top cover 8 and the nut seat 62. This can prevent samples from entering the electronic components, causing damage to the components and affecting their use.

[0051] Example 1: Sample collection state,

[0052] Manually open the air pump that delivers gas to the intake pipe 43. The sample enters through the feed channel 41 under gas excitation. Then close the air pump. At this time, the conical pressure door 65 and the feed channel 41 are in a separated state. The sample bounces into the container cavity 4 through the rebound of the conical pressure door 65. The structure of the conical pressure door 65 can effectively bounce the sample. At this time, the position of the top rotating door window 721 of the top rotating door 72 and the top cover window 81 of the top cover 8 are misaligned and in a closed state. The position of the bottom rotating door window 731 of the bottom rotating door 73 corresponds to the cavity window 42 of the container cavity 4 and is in an open state, ensuring that the sample delivery gas can be discharged outside the container cavity 4.

[0053] Example 2: Sample encapsulation state,

[0054] Manually drive the motor 11 to work, driving the first driving gear 13 and the second driving gear 14 to rotate, respectively driving the first driven gear body 61 and the second driven gear body 71 to rotate.

[0055] Respectively, the first driven gear body 61 drives the nut seat 62 to rotate. At this time, the screw 63 makes an axial movement, and finally realizes the movement of the conical pressure door 65. The designed axial movement distance of the conical pressure door 65 is 33 mm, the lead of the screw 63 is 2 mm, and the number of turns of the screw 63 is 16.5 turns. The conical pressure door 65 finally contacts the feed channel 41 to close the feed channel 41.

[0056] Respectively, the second driven gear body 71 drives the top rotating door 72 and the bottom rotating door 73 to rotate. The number of teeth of the first driving gear 13 and the second driving gear 14 are the same, and the number of teeth of the first driven gear body 61 and the second driven gear body 71 are the same, and the number of turns is the same. Therefore, the states of the top rotating door 72 and the bottom rotating door 73 remain unchanged. The top rotating door window 721 of the top rotating door 72 is still in a closed state, and the bottom rotating door window 731 of the bottom rotating door 73 is still in an open state.

[0057] Example 3: Sample transfer state,

[0058] On the basis of the second embodiment, manually control the driving motor 11 to continue driving the first driving gear 13 to rotate. Since the conical pressure door 65 is closed and reaches the limit position, the resistance torque of the first driving gear 13 rises sharply. When it exceeds the slipping torque of the safety coupling 15, the first driving gear 13 stops rotating, but the gear shaft 12 continues to drive the second driving gear 14 to rotate, realizing the continuous rotation of the top rotating door 72 and the bottom rotating door 73. The number of rotation turns is 0.25 turns. After this process ends, the top rotating door window 721 of the top rotating door 72 is in the open state, and the bottom rotating door window 731 of the bottom rotating door 73 is in the closed state. Turn on the air pump, and the gas enters the container cavity 4 through secondary blowing. Under the influence of the spiral air flow, the sample enters the sample transfer cavity through the sample encapsulation cavity and finally enters the return capsule through the discharge channel of the upper housing 2, thus completing the sample transfer;

[0059] Embodiment 4: The device returns to the initial state,

[0060] On the basis of the third embodiment, manually control the driving motor 11 to continue working. The first driving gear 13 stops rotating, and the second driving gear 14 continues to rotate, driving the second driven gear body 71 to rotate, thereby driving the top rotating door 72 and the bottom rotating door 73 to continue rotating. The number of rotation turns is 0.25 turns. After this process ends, the top rotating door window 721 of the top rotating door 72 is in the closed state, and the bottom rotating door window 731 of the bottom rotating door 73 is in the open state. Manually control the driving motor 11 to drive the first driving gear 13 and the second driving gear 14 to rotate in the reverse direction, ensuring that the first driven gear body 61 and the second driven gear body 71 rotate in the reverse direction for 16.5 turns. The conical pressure door 65 rises to the original position, and the states of the top rotating door window 721 of the top rotating door 72 and the bottom rotating door window 731 of the bottom rotating door 73 remain unchanged, and the overall device returns to the initial state.

[0061] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
