[0015] The composite sampling head is used to collect and transfer samples in the space accessible by the composite leg arm through shoveling, planing, digging, drilling, and impact methods.
[0016] Furthermore, when the hip pitch drive assembly is working and the knee joint drive assembly is not working, the parallelogram mechanism configuration remains unchanged, and the whole rotates with the output shaft of the hip pitch drive assembly; when the knee joint drive assembly is working and the hip pitch drive assembly is not working, the knee joint hinge assembly rotates around the hinge axis between the knee joint hinge assembly and the thigh assembly.

[0031] Furthermore, during the probe's cushioned landing, the composite leg arm is in force control mode: when the ground contact switch component has a switching signal, it indicates that the cushioning foot pad component of the composite leg arm has touched the surface of the celestial body. Under the action of the contact force, the composite leg arm begins to drive the hip roll drive component, hip pitch drive component, and knee joint drive component to perform counter-drive motion, and drives the cushioning spring damping component to perform damped stretching motion, thereby achieving a cushioned landing of the probe; through the coordinated control of the motion of multiple composite leg arms, the attitude stability of the probe during the landing process is achieved.

[0058] The physical property sensor A16 is fixedly connected to the linear drive assembly housing of the sampling unit drive assembly 15 through structural components; the physical property sensor A16 can realize visible light imaging of the target; the physical property sensor A16 can actively emit infrared laser of a specific spectral band to realize in-situ spectral analysis and detection of the target.
[0059] One end of the sampling drill rod assembly 18 is connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive assembly of the sampling unit drive assembly 15.

An insulating coating is designed between the physical property sensor C19 and the sampling drill rod assembly 18. The surface of the physical property sensor C19 is covered with an insulating and wear-resistant coating. The physical property sensor C19 is used to measure the force information of the soil during the sampling process and can wirelessly transmit the original measurement signal to the composite leg arm controller.
[0061] The composite sampling head 20 is fixedly connected to the sampling drill rod assembly 18. The composite sampling head 20 adopts a semi-conical shape design, with a cutting edge and chip removal spiral groove designed externally on the semi-conical body. A groove for fixing and installing the material property sensor B21 is designed at a specific position on the chip removal spiral groove.

[0063] The specific implementation methods for the probe's buffer landing, walking movement, stellar soil collection, and in-situ stellar soil detection are as follows:
[0064] (I) Buffer Landing: After the probe descends to a certain altitude above the star surface, the probe's landing engine shuts down, and the probe begins free fall with its residual velocity as its initial velocity. Multiple composite legs and arms are in force control mode. When the ground contact switch assembly 13 of the composite leg arm has a switching signal, it indicates that the buffer foot pad assembly 14 of the composite leg arm to which the ground contact switch assembly 13 belongs has touched the star surface. Under the action of the contact force, the composite leg arm begins to drive the hip roll drive assembly 2, hip pitch drive assembly 4, and knee joint drive assembly 5 to perform counter-drive motion, and the buffer spring damping assembly 11 to perform damped stretching motion. The energy dissipation of the counter-drive by multiple drive assemblies of the composite leg arm and the friction energy dissipation of the buffer spring damping assembly 11 are used to offset the kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the probe during the landing process, thereby achieving a buffer landing of the probe. The attitude stability of the probe during the landing process is achieved through the coordinated control of the motion of multiple composite legs and arms.
[0065] (ii) Walking and moving: Through the coordinated movement of four or more composite legs and arms, the probe can achieve leg-like walking and obstacle-crossing on the star surface.
[0066] (III) Resin Collection: When the probe needs to conduct sampling, it adjusts to a three-legged standing configuration to maintain static stability. The composite-legged arm performs resin collection, and the specific process is as follows:
[0067] a) For loose surface soil, the composite sampling head 20 is driven to dig and collect the loose soil under the coordinated movement of the hip roll drive component 2, the hip pitch drive component 4, and the knee joint drive component 5.
[0068] b) When encountering harder shale soil, the hip roll drive assembly 2, hip pitch drive assembly 4, and knee joint drive assembly 5 provide a stable sampling configuration for the composite sampling head 20. The rotary drive assembly in the sampling unit drive assembly 15 drives the composite sampling head 20 to achieve impact motion and rotary motion. The linear drive assembly in the sampling unit drive assembly 15 provides feed motion for the composite sampling head 20, thereby realizing rotary impact drilling sampling of harder shale soil by the composite sampling head 20.
[0069] (iv) In-situ detection of stellar soil: The composite leg can perform in-situ detection of the mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties of stellar soil.
[0070] a) In-situ mechanical detection: The physical property sensor C19 is used to detect the mechanical properties of the spherical soil. The physical property sensor C19 is fixed on the sampling drill rod assembly 18 by sputtering process. During the sampling process, the physical property sensor C19 measures the force load information of the spherical soil in situ and can wirelessly transmit the original measurement signal to the composite leg arm controller.
[0071] b) In-situ thermoelectric detection: The physical property sensor B21 is used to detect the thermoelectric properties of the star soil. The physical property sensor B21 is fixed in the groove of the chip removal spiral groove of the composite sampling head 20. During the sampling process, the physical property sensor B21 measures the thermoelectric information such as thermal conductivity and dielectric constant of the star soil in situ, and sends the original measurement signal wirelessly to the composite leg arm controller.
[0072] c) In-situ spectral detection: The physical property sensor A16 is fixedly connected to the linear drive assembly housing of the sampling unit drive assembly 15 through structural components; during the sampling process, the physical property sensor A16 can image the visible light of the star soil of the detection target and directly obtain the appearance characteristics of the star soil; the physical property sensor A16 can actively emit infrared lasers of specific spectral bands and realize in-situ spectral analysis and detection of star soil based on the absorption or reflection characteristics of infrared light by the star soil.
