[0002] Parallel walking robots have broad application prospects due to their flexibility, strong carrying capacity and strong adaptability to the environment. In the field of space exploration, robots can assist astronauts in completing tasks, or even replace astronauts in completing corresponding tasks. They can significantly reduce the complexity of space systems and greatly reduce the risks of space exploration. They are an important direction for the development of space technology.
[0003] During the launch of a spacecraft, the robot needs to have a smaller retracted envelope and a stronger ability to resist the mechanical environment in the active section. Generally, additional pyrotechnic clamping measures are required. One is to reduce the robot envelope in the launch state, and the other is to reduce the vibration response and protect the motor drive components that are easily damaged. The required pyrotechnic clamping measures must consider the installation feasibility of the layout on the spacecraft and provide a control channel for the entire device. However, the various resources of the spacecraft system are often limited, which is not conducive to giving full play to the payload utility of the spacecraft. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a single-source electric drive locking and release driving pillar and driving walking mechanism, which utilizes the motor in the driving pillar to realize its own retraction and locking, unlocking and release as well as the pillar driving and retracting functions, which can not only meet the requirements of small envelope launch space and mechanical environment resistance, but also facilitate the spatial layout of the detector, and does not require pyrotechnic compression measures.

[0031] Beneficial effects:
[0032] (1) The present invention proposes a driving strut with a single-source electric drive locking and release. The single motor driving source in the driving strut realizes the self-folding, locking, unlocking, releasing and retracting functions of the driving strut, which can greatly reduce the folding envelope space of the walking mechanism without occupying additional spacecraft system resources, thereby realizing the optimized design of the walking mechanism.
[0033] (2) The locking unit in the driving pillar of the present invention realizes locking when the driving pillar is retracted. The locking unit uses a disc spring to maintain the preload in the retracted state. After the driving pillar completes the preload application process, the retraction and locking of the driving pillar is achieved by relying on the rotating retaining ring spline and the disc spring preload. The motor no longer needs to provide a preload and does not need to participate in force transmission and load-bearing. The problem that the motor is easily affected by vibration and causes unsafe and reliable locking is solved. The locking unit has strong resistance to mechanical environments and is safe and reliable in the locked state.
[0034] (3) An adjustment hole is reserved on the side wall of the driving outer cylinder of the present invention, through which the rotation angle of the rotating cylinder and the locking ring can be adjusted, thereby adjusting whether the internal spline of the rotating clamp ring is matched with the external spline of the locking ring. At the same time, when the rotating cylinder rotates, the torsion spring is twisted to generate a restoring force that can drive the rotating cylinder to rotate around its own axis.
[0035] (4) The motor of the driving support of the present invention has the ability to maintain power supply after power failure. During the walking process, the power can be cut off according to the task requirements, and the walking mechanism can still maintain a stable configuration without the need for continuous power supply of the detector.
[0036] (5) The present invention provides a driving walking mechanism with single-source electric drive locking and release, which realizes the self-retraction and locking, unlocking and releasing and extension functions of the driving pillar through the motor in the driving pillar, and only utilizes the preload of the disc spring, does not occupy additional spacecraft system resources, and meets the small envelope retraction and locking and mechanical environment resistance requirements of the walking mechanism. The present invention also proposes a workflow of preload application, unloading transfer and unlocking and releasing, and provides the judgment criteria in the process, which can meet the unlocking and releasing requirements under the autonomous control of the probe.

[0062] Embodiment 2:
[0063] This embodiment provides a single-source electric drive locking and releasing driving walking mechanism based on the embodiment 1, see the attached Figure 6 , comprising: three or more driving pillars 100 of embodiment 1, a main buffer 200, and two or more auxiliary buffers 300;
[0064] The number of driving pillars 100 is one more than the number of auxiliary buffers 300. In this embodiment, three driving pillars 100 and two auxiliary buffers 300 are used;
[0065] One end of a driving strut 100 is connected to the spacecraft, and the other end is coaxially docked with the main buffer 200;
[0066] One end of the other two driving pillars 100 is connected to the spacecraft respectively, and the other end is coaxially docked with one end of the two auxiliary buffers 300 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the other ends of the two auxiliary buffers 300 are connected to the side wall of the main buffer 200;
[0067] The main buffer 200 and the auxiliary buffer 300 are both used to buffer the landing impact process of the spacecraft to achieve a soft landing of the spacecraft.
[0068] Working principle:
[0069] See attached Figure 7 , when the spacecraft is in the launch state, the walking mechanism needs to be in the retracted state, that is, each driving pillar 100 is in the retracted state. The retracting process of the driving pillar 100 is as follows: the motor 2 reverses to drive the lead screw 14 to rotate so that the nut 13 and the driving inner cylinder 16 are retracted, the length of the driving pillar 100 is shortened, and the locking ring 12 also moves linearly with the nut 13 in the direction of the motor 2. At the initial time (that is, when the torsion spring 5 is not under force), the spline groove of the inner spline of the rotating retaining ring 11 is opposite to the spline position of the outer spline of the locking ring 12 (at the same time, the spline of the inner spline of the rotating retaining ring 11 is opposite to the spline of the outer spline of the locking ring 12). 2, the spline groove of the outer spline of the locking ring 12 is relatively positioned), so that the locking ring 12 can pass through the rotating retaining ring 11 (when the outer spline of the locking ring 12 cooperates with the inner spline of the rotating retaining ring 11, the two can slide relative to each other). After the locking ring 12 passes through the rotating retaining ring 11, the locking ring 12 moves to the inside of the rotating drum 7. Relying on the driving action of the reverse rotation of the motor 2, the nut 13 and the locking ring 12 continue to move in the direction of the motor 2 and squeeze the disc spring 9, so that the disc spring 9 is compressed to generate a pre-tightening force; after the driving support 100 is retracted to the predetermined position according to the number of revolutions of the motor 2, the motor 2 is powered off and maintains the position.
[0070] Subsequently, the rotation angle of the rotating drum 7 and the rotating clamp ring 11 is adjusted by driving the adjustment hole 19 reserved on the outer cylinder 15, so that the spline groove of the inner spline of the rotating clamp ring 11 is relative to the spline groove of the outer spline of the locking ring 12 (at the same time, the spline of the inner spline of the rotating clamp ring 11 is relative to the spline of the outer spline of the locking ring 12), so that the rotating clamp ring 11 can axially limit the locking ring 12 to prevent the locking ring 12 from escaping from the rotating drum 7. In the process of adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating drum 7, the torsion spring 5 is stressed to generate a restoring force. After the rotation angle of the rotating drum 7 is adjusted to the right position, the motor 2 is powered on, the screw screw 14 is driven in the forward direction, the nut 13 generates movement in the extension direction of the driving support 100, and the locking ring 12 also moves with the nut 13 It moves linearly in the direction away from the motor 2 until the locking ring 12 contacts the rotating retaining ring 11 (at this time, the spline groove of the inner spline of the rotating retaining ring 11 is relative to the spline groove of the outer spline of the locking ring 12, and the spline of the inner spline of the rotating retaining ring 11 is relative to the spline of the outer spline of the locking ring 12). After the locking ring 12 contacts the rotating retaining ring 11, since the mating end faces of the locking ring 12 and the rotating retaining ring 11 are both provided with limit grooves, the position of the rotating drum 7 is fixed by the disc spring 9 and the limit grooves of the end face. The motor 2 is stopped after being judged by the number of turns, and the unloading of the motor 2 is completed, and the preload force application power source is transferred from the motor 2 to the disc spring 9, thereby completing the process of retracting the drive pillar 100 and applying the preload force. In this state, the locking ring 12 is mechanically limited by the rotating retaining ring 11 and the disc spring 9. The compressed disc spring 9 has sufficient preload to ensure the structural stability of the driving pillar 100, and the motor 2 does not provide a preload, ensuring safe and reliable locking.
[0071] See attached Figure 8 After the spacecraft lands, the walking mechanism enters the working state, and the driving pillar 100 needs to be unlocked and released. The unlocking and releasing process of the driving pillar 100 is as follows: the motor 2 is started to reverse and further contract the nut 13, driving the locking ring 12 to overcome the preload force of the disc spring 9, and the nut 13 moves linearly in the direction of the motor 2. The end face of the locking ring 12 no longer conflicts with the end face of the rotating clamping ring 11, and the two are separated. The rotating drum 7 is released from the constraint, and the rotating drum 7 and the rotating clamping ring 11 can rotate naturally under the action of the torsion spring 5. After rotating to the initial position (that is, when the torsion spring 5 is not under force), the spline groove of the inner spline of the rotating clamping ring 11 is opposite to the spline position of the outer spline of the locking ring 12 (at the same time, the spline of the inner spline of the rotating clamping ring 11 is opposite to the spline groove of the outer spline of the locking ring 12), providing conditions for the locking ring 12 to be separated from the rotating drum 7;
[0072] Then the motor 2 stops and starts to rotate forward again, the driving pillar 100 is extended in length, driving the locking ring 12 to pass through the rotating clamping ring 11 and disengage from the drum 7, thereby completing the unlocking and release of the driving pillar 100. During this process, the current of the motor 2 can be used to determine whether the unlocking and release process is as expected.
[0073] like Fig. 9 , which is a schematic diagram of the unlocked state of the driving pillar 100. The unlocked driving pillar 100 can smoothly realize the extension and retraction of the driving pillar under the driving action of the motor 2, and drive the walking mechanism to realize the expansion and walking.
[0074] In summary, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
