[0002] Satellite-rocket separation devices are mainly divided into: pyrotechnic separation devices, pyrotechnic belt separation devices, non-pyrotechnic belt separation devices, and pyrotechnic belt separation devices. Due to the different shapes of satellites, the designs of satellite-rocket separation devices are also different. Their common feature is that most of them use spring ejection separation, and the separation driving methods are mainly explosive bolts, motor drive, resistance wire fusing, electromagnetic drive, etc.

[0003] The design of satellite-rocket separation devices needs to comprehensively consider requirements such as simple structure, light weight, separation accuracy, anti-interference ability, small separation pollution, and high reliability. Currently, there are various satellite-rocket separation devices. Traditional satellite-rocket separation systems use pyrotechnic separation devices, and their disadvantages are that the safety of explosive bolts is unknown and the explosion shock is large. Therefore, the safety is poor and the impact load is large. Non-pyrotechnic belt separation devices come in various forms, but they have disadvantages such as expensive belts and the belts are prone to jamming the satellite during separation. Currently, non-belt satellite-rocket analysis devices are mostly used. Among them, the separation drive is mainly divided into forms of electric drive, electromagnetic drive, and direct drive by resistance fusing. After being energized, they will generate a certain magnetic field, which affects the operation of some precision satellite instruments and is unreliable. Summary of the Invention

[0026] In order to solve the problems of insecurity and non-environmental protection in the prior art star-rocket separation device, the present invention provides a star-rocket separation device.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , a star-rocket separation device, comprising: a first connecting body 10 and a second connecting body 20, the first connecting body 10 is connected to the satellite, the second connecting body 20 is connected to the rocket, and the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20 are detachably connected; a locking mechanism 30, the locking mechanism 30 is arranged on the second connecting body 20, wherein, the locking mechanism 30 has a locking position and a separation position, when the locking mechanism 30 is in the locking position, the first connecting body 10 is locked on the second connecting body 20, and when the locking mechanism 30 is in the separation position, the first connecting body 10 is separated from the second connecting body 20; a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is connected to the locking mechanism 30 to drive the locking mechanism 30 to move between the locking position and the separation position, wherein, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 41 and a cam assembly 42, the driving motor 41 is drivingly connected to the cam assembly 42 to control the movement of the locking mechanism 30 through the cam assembly 42.

[0028] The star-rocket separation device of the present invention is mainly applied when the satellite and the rocket are separated, to control the separation of the satellite and the rocket. Specifically, the first connecting body 10 of the rocket separation device is fixed together with the satellite, the second connecting body 20 is fixed on the rocket, the satellite is connected to the rocket through the star-rocket separation device. During star-rocket separation, the driving motor 41 of the driving mechanism works, drives the cam assembly 42 to rotate to drive the locking mechanism 30 to move from the locking position to the separation position. When the locking mechanism 30 moves to the separation position, the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20 can be separated. At this time, giving the satellite a thrust away from the rocket can separate the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20. The separation device of the present invention uses mechanical structure actions to complete star-rocket separation, which is more environmentally friendly than the pyrotechnic separation device, safer and more reliable than the electromagnetic separation, and will not cause interference to other devices.

[0029] The locking mechanism 30 includes: a claw assembly, which is arranged on the second connecting body 20 so that the second connecting body 20 is clamped and connected to the first connecting body 10 through the claw assembly.

[0030] The claw assembly includes: a plurality of claws 31, which are arranged on the second connecting body 20 at intervals to form an annular structure. Among them, each claw 31 is arranged to be contractible in the radial direction of the annular structure so as to move closer to each other to the separation position or move away from each other to the locking position simultaneously.

[0031] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 30 in this embodiment connects the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20 in a clamping manner. Specifically, both the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20 are annular structures. A plurality of claws 31 are evenly distributed on the second connecting body 20 and form an annular structure. The claw 31 can move and contract parallel to the radial direction of the annular structure, or one end of the claw 31 is rotatably connected to the second connecting body 20, and the other end of the claw 31 rotates inward or outward along the radial direction under the drive of the snap ring 40.

[0032] Preferably, the claw 31 is rotatably arranged on the second connecting body 20. Specifically, a rotating shaft and a torsion spring are arranged on the second connecting body 20. The claw 31 is rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft, and the torsion spring gives the claw 31 a thrust to expand outward so that the positioning protrusion 311 on the claw 31 is inserted into the positioning hole 11 to make the locking mechanism 30 in the locking position.

[0033] The claw 31 is provided with a positioning protrusion 311, and the first connecting body 10 is provided with a positioning hole 11. When the locking mechanism 30 moves to the locking position, the positioning protrusion 311 is inserted into the positioning hole 11 to fix the first connecting body 10 and the claw 31 together. When the locking mechanism 30 moves to the separation position, the positioning protrusion 311 disengages from the positioning hole 11 to separate the first connecting body 10 and the claw 31.

[0034] As Figure 4 As shown, two positioning protrusions 311 are arranged on the outer side of the claw 31 in this embodiment. Correspondingly, two positioning holes 11 are arranged on the first connecting body 10 to be respectively used for cooperating with the positioning protrusions 311. When the snap ring 40 contracts inward, it drives the upper part to rotate inward to the inner side of the annular structure, so that the positioning protrusion 311 disengages from the positioning hole 11. When the snap ring 40 expands and tightens outward, the claw 31 rotates outward under the drive of the torsion spring so that the positioning protrusion 311 is inserted into the positioning hole 11, thereby fixing the snap ring 40 and the claw 31 together.

[0035] The star-arrow separation device further includes: a snap ring assembly, the snap ring assembly is connected to each of the plurality of claws 31, wherein the driving mechanism drives the plurality of claws 31 to move simultaneously through the snap ring assembly.

[0036] The snap ring assembly includes a snap ring 40, the snap ring 40 is sleeved outside the claw assembly, wherein the snap ring 40 is an unclosed ring structure, the snap ring 40 has a first driving end 43 and a second driving end 44, and the driving mechanism drives the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44 to move closer to or away from each other simultaneously, so as to drive the plurality of claws 31 to move closer to or away from each other simultaneously.

[0037] As Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, a semi-closed annular snap ring 40 is sleeved outside the claw assembly. When the driving mechanism drives the snap ring 40 to contract, it will push each claw 31 inward to move. When the snap ring 40 expands outward, the claws 31 move outward under the action of an external force. Specifically, the locking block 51 is fixed to one end of the slider assembly by bolts or is blocked at one end of the slide rail assembly 52 by a stop block. At this time, the snap ring 40 is in a tensioned state, and the positioning protrusion 311 on the claw 31 is inserted into the positioning hole 11. When the star-arrow separates, the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44 of the snap ring 40 contract inward under the action of their own elastic force, driving the locking block 51 to move along the slide rail assembly 52. At this time, each claw 31 rotates inward, so that the positioning protrusion 311 disengages from the positioning hole 11, and then the first connecting body 10 moves upward under the push of the spring 60 to separate from the second connecting body 20.

[0038] The star-arrow separation device further includes a slider mechanism, the slider mechanism is arranged on the second connecting body 20, wherein the slider mechanism includes:

[0039] A slide rail assembly 52, the slide rail assembly 52 is arranged on the second connecting body 20; a locking block 51, the locking block 51 is movably arranged on the slide rail assembly 52 and is simultaneously drivingly connected to the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44; wherein, the driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the locking block 51, and the locking block 51 has a first position and a second position, so as to drive the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44 to move closer to each other when the locking block 51 moves to the first position, and drive the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44 to move away from each other when the locking block 51 moves to the second position.

[0040] As Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the slide rail assembly 52 includes a linear slide rail. The linear slide rail extends along the radial direction of the annular structure and is installed on the second connecting body 20 by bolts. A locking block 51 is provided on the linear slide rail to move the plug cover along the linear slide rail. An elastic pin is installed on the plug cover, and a stop block is installed on the linear guide rail. The locking block 51 is a wedge-shaped block and is installed on the stop block. The locking block 51 is respectively connected to the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44. When the locking block 51 moves inward along the linear slide rail, the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44 approach each other, so that the snap ring 40 contracts; when the locking block 51 moves outward along the linear slide rail, the first driving end 43 and the second driving end 44 move away from each other, so that the snap ring 40 expands and tightens.

[0041] The satellite-rocket separation device further includes an ejection mechanism. The ejection mechanism is arranged on the second connecting body 20 and is drivingly connected to the first connecting body 10 to drive the separation of the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20 when the locking mechanism 30 moves to the separation position.

[0042] The ejection mechanism includes a plurality of springs 60. The plurality of springs 60 are evenly distributed on the second connecting body 20 to be respectively connected to different positions of the first connecting body 10. Among them, each spring 60 is in a compressed state to push the first connecting body 10 to move when the locking mechanism 30 moves to the separation position.

[0043] When the locking mechanism 30 moves to the separation position, an external force is required to push the first connecting body 10 away from the second connecting body 20 at this time. In this embodiment, a week of guide posts are arranged on the second connecting body 20, and the spring 60 is sleeved on the guide posts to ensure that the spring 60 always moves along the vertical direction. When the locking mechanism 30 is in the locking position, the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20 are locked together, and the spring 60 is in a compressed state. When the locking mechanism 30 is in the separation position, the spring 60 pushes the first connecting body 10 to separate from the second connecting body 20 upward. In order to ensure the stable attitude of the satellite after separation, the springs 60 should be evenly distributed when arranged.

[0044] In addition, as Figure 7 shown, the cam mechanism includes a first lock block structure 45, a cam, and a second lock block structure 46. The drive motor 41 pushes the stop block to move through the cam mechanism to lock the locking block 51 or move the locking block 51 along the linear slide rail.

[0045] The satellite-rocket separation device of the present invention also reserves the installation positions for the separation switches of the satellite and the rocket. The separation switch for the satellite and the satellite sensor plug are installed on the first connecting body. The separation switch for the rocket and the satellite sensor socket are installed on the second connecting body. The satellite sensor socket and the plug can customize the communication interface according to needs.

[0046] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0047] The satellite-rocket separation device of the present invention is mainly applied when the satellite and the rocket are separated to control the separation of the satellite and the rocket. Specifically, the first connecting body 10 of the rocket separation device is fixed to the satellite, and the second connecting body 20 is fixed to the rocket. The satellite is connected to the rocket through this satellite-rocket separation device. During satellite-rocket separation, the driving motor 41 of the driving mechanism operates, and the driving cam assembly 42 rotates to drive the locking mechanism 30 to move from the locking position to the separation position. When the locking mechanism 30 moves to the separation position, the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20 can be separated. At this time, giving the satellite a thrust away from the rocket can separate the first connecting body 10 and the second connecting body 20. The separation device of the present invention uses mechanical structure actions to complete satellite-rocket separation, which is more environmentally friendly than the pyrotechnic separation device, safer and more reliable than the electromagnetic separation, and will not cause interference to other devices.
