Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic hoisting, and in particular to a parallel-type flexible-rope automatic leveling sling and a leveling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Leveling slings are widely used in the transportation and assembly processes of various large-scale equipment. Especially in the process of spacecraft assembly, testing and experimentation (AIT), it is often necessary to adjust the components to the desired posture in order to meet the needs of docking and assembly operations, so leveling slings are often needed. Leveling slings are of great use value in the loading and unloading and transportation of spacecraft components, box installation and large payload installation. With the continuous development of the aerospace industry, the size, complexity and variety of aerospace products have increased significantly. The quality, accuracy and safety requirements of the operation in the spacecraft AIT process have made a qualitative leap. Horizontal adjustment slings that can adapt to spacecraft with different centers of mass have gradually become an important direction for the development of spacecraft slings.

[0003] Currently, for lifting operations involving unknown spacecraft center of mass, traditional hoists typically consist of beams connected by cables. The lifting process relies heavily on human experience, resulting in issues such as unquantifiable component position adjustment, low positioning accuracy, unstable operation, and low adjustment efficiency. Furthermore, the need for hoisting position adjustment is difficult to achieve. Existing automatic leveling hoists have a low degree of automation and insufficient scalability, leaving room for improvement in both operational safety and efficiency during spacecraft lifting. Therefore, research on automatic leveling hoists and their leveling mechanisms is highly valuable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a parallel flexible rope automatic leveling sling and a leveling method thereof, which can automatically adjust the position of the lifting ring mounting frame and the center of gravity of the spacecraft when lifting the spacecraft, thereby achieving smooth lifting and installation.

[0005] The sling of the present invention uses a rope-driven counterweight adjustment mechanism. The nut is rotated by the lead screw to drive the rope to extend and retract, achieving large vertical and horizontal displacements of the lifting platform. Small compensation offsets of the lifting platform are achieved by moving the position of the lifting ring mounting frame and the counterweight. During the movement, the tilt sensor on the main platform determines whether the sling is horizontal. This method can achieve the purpose of real-time adjustment of the spacecraft's center of gravity and leveling the spacecraft during the lifting phase, greatly improving the spacecraft lifting efficiency. A transfer interface is designed below the counterweight platform to connect different expansion platforms, realizing the versatility of the sling.

[0006] During actual operation, the rope will deflect as it moves on the pulley, and changes in rope length will cause changes in the position of the eye mount. The adjustment process requires moving the overhead crane, which affects adjustment accuracy and leads to large errors in spacecraft leveling. To address this problem, the present invention proposes a coarse-and-fine adjustment mode. When the eccentricity range is small, the movement of the counterweight block achieves rapid and accurate leveling. This method improves the leveling accuracy of the entire system, achieving automatic leveling of the lifting platform and smooth lifting and installation of the spacecraft.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:

If not, the moving frame (3-7) continues to move and the rope (2) continues to extend and retract until the sling meets the fine adjustment range value. If it meets the range value, fine adjustment begins; S7, start adjusting the position of the counterweight block (11-1) on the counterweight platform (8) according to the leveling algorithm, the specific steps are as follows: ① Determine the eccentric position of the spreader platform based on the tilt angle measured by the inclination sensor; ② Adjust the position of the counterweight (11-1) according to the adjustment algorithm based on the eccentric position; When fine-tuning step S7, the system monitors the data fed back by the inclination sensor at the main platform (7) and the tension sensor at the sling (9) in real time. If the levelness of the sling does not meet the requirements, step S7 is continued until the levelness of the sling meets the requirements; if the levelness of the sling meets the requirements, the spacecraft is started to be lifted.
