[0002] Solar wings are an important part of the energy function of spacecraft. Flexible solar wings are usually a kind of solar cells attached to polyimide substrates.

[0057] The third passive drive assembly 31 includes a third fixed pulley, a third movable pulley and a third elastic member, wherein the third fixed pulley is arranged in the end portion where the second long rod 3 and the third short rod 6 are connected, and one end of the third elastic member is fixed in the second long rod 3, and the other end is connected to the third movable pulley;

[0063] During the active launch phase, the solar wing array 1 is pressed by the clamping device to maintain a folded and contracted state. At this time, the first to eighth elastic members 24 are all in an extended state. After the clamping device is released, the first to second elastic members 21 retract from the extended state due to the elastic force, and the solar wing array 1 begins to unfold from the folded and telescopic state until the angle between the long rod and the short rod is unfolded to a suitable angle. A tensioning mechanism is set at the hinge position of the long rod and the short rod to keep the unfolded solar wing array 1 in the unfolded state. For details, see Figure 4 In the process of the second elastic member 21 and the eighth elastic member 24 returning to the normal state from the stretched state, under the action of the elastic force, the second movable pulley 20 moves in the first long rod 2 in the direction away from the second fixed pulley 19, and the second eighth movable pulley moves in the fourth short rod 7 in the direction away from the eighth fixed pulley 22. At the same time, the fourth passive driving assembly 32 and the sixth passive driving assembly 34 work simultaneously, so that the first long rod 2, the second long rod 3, the second short rod 5 and the fourth short rod 7 rotate, and the distance between the end of the first long rod 2 connected to the second short rod 5 and the end of the second long rod 3 connected to the fourth short rod 7 is reduced. At the same time, the third passive driving assembly 31, the fifth passive driving assembly 33, the first passive driving assembly 29 and the seventh passive driving assembly 35 work simultaneously, so that the distance between the end of the first long rod 2 connected to the first short rod 4 and the end of the second long rod 3 connected to the third short rod 6 is reduced, so as to realize the deployment of the solar wing array 1. The movable pulley moves in the long rod and the short rod, which can reduce the contraction stroke of the pulley rope.
[0064] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the solar wing deployment mechanism of the present application is symmetrically distributed around the center line of the intersection of the first long rod 2 and the second long rod 3.
[0065] The deployment mechanism also includes a first load-balancing system 9 and a second load-balancing system 10. The two ends of the solar wing array 1 are respectively connected to the first load-balancing system 9 and the second load-balancing system 10. The ends of the first short rod 4 and the third short rod 6 away from the long rod are connected to the first load-balancing system 9, and the ends of the second short rod 5 and the fourth short rod 7 away from the long rod are connected to the second load-balancing system 10.
[0066] The first load balancing system 9 and the second load balancing system 10 are connected to the ends of the solar wing array 1 through the constant force elastic member 11 .
[0067] At least one starting elastic member 12 is provided on the first load balancing system 9 and / or the second load balancing system 10. In the present embodiment, starting elastic members 12 are provided on the ends of both the first load balancing system 9 and the second load balancing system 10. Due to the retracted state, the short rod is in close contact with the long rod, and the initial deployment angle of the passive drive component is small. The starting elastic member 12 can provide a deployment driving force in the initial state.
[0068] The unfolding mechanism also includes a synchronous unfolding component, which includes a first synchronous unfolding component and a second synchronous unfolding component. The first synchronous unfolding component is connected to the end of the first short rod 4 and the third short rod 6 away from the long rod, and the second synchronous unfolding component is connected to the end of the second short rod 5 and the fourth short rod 7 away from the long rod.
[0069] The first synchronous deployment component includes a first cable pulley 13 and a second cable pulley 14. The first cable pulley 13 is coaxially rotatably connected to an end of the first short rod 4 away from the first long rod 2, and the second cable pulley 14 is coaxially rotatably connected to an end of the third short rod 6 away from the second long rod 3. The first cable pulley 13 and the second cable pulley 14 are connected by a first coaxial tape 17. During the deployment process, when the first short rod 4 and the third short rod 6 rotate, the first cable pulley 13 and the second cable pulley 14 rotate at the same time, and the rotation angles are the same to ensure synchronization.
[0070] The second synchronous deployment component includes a third cable pulley 15 and a fourth cable pulley 16. The third cable pulley 15 is coaxially rotatably connected to the end of the second short rod 5 away from the first long rod 2. The fourth cable pulley 16 is coaxially rotatably connected to the end of the fourth short rod 7 away from the second long rod 3. The third cable pulley 15 and the fourth cable pulley 16 are connected by a second coaxial tape 18. During the deployment process, when the second short rod 5 and the fourth short rod 7 rotate, the third cable pulley 15 and the fourth cable pulley 16 rotate at the same time, and the rotation angles are the same to ensure synchronization.
[0071] The entire unfolding mechanism adopts two sets of synchronous unfolding components to ensure the synchronization of the two ends of the long rod.
