Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a quick-change device, and in particular to a quick-change device with isomorphic active and passive end interfaces. Background Art

[0002] The current major challenge in the aerospace industry is not simply how to launch complex and large spacecraft systems, but rather how to ensure the long-term and stable operation of spacecraft in orbit. This is why on-orbit maintenance technology has emerged. Space robotic on-orbit maintenance technology, with its low cost, safety, and reliability, has won the favor of many countries. The development of a standard interface for the rapid replacement of robotic end-of-line operations has become a key approach to improving the efficiency of on-orbit space servicing.

[0003] Traditional docking mechanisms are generally divided into active-passive connection modules. For example, the “Heavy-duty Robot Arm Quick-Change Joint for Tokamak Maintenance” disclosed in the Chinese patent “CN115366151A” uses a hollow large-diameter ball screw as a power source, which is more efficient, has a larger output axial force, and is more reliable in locking. The locking device not only ensures a tight locking effect, but also prevents the risk of the end effector falling off when the screw power is accidentally unloaded. The cooperation between the locking device and the end effector joint can achieve a large floating amount, thereby eliminating the large error between the two docking devices before docking. Through the cooperation of two sets of mechanisms - the locking device and the end effector joint - the function of guiding first and then locking is realized in the axial direction, and guiding is performed in the radial direction through the tapered hole, with large tolerances in both the axial and radial directions. However, the comparative document only has one locking mechanism, and the locking strength is low. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are:

[0025] 1. The present invention ensures the firmness and stability of the locking of the active docking locking module and the passive docking locking module through the dual locking of the primary locking mechanism and the secondary locking mechanism.

[0026] 2. The present invention realizes fluid transmission and electrical transmission between the active docking locking module and the passive docking locking module through fluid transmission and electrical connector mechanisms, which can realize the transmission of electrical and fluid media on the basis of mechanical docking, improves the versatility of the docking device, and can simultaneously realize mechanical connection, electrical connection and fluid transmission between aerospace equipment.

[0027] 3. The present invention provides power to the first-level active locking unit, the second-level active locking unit and the active-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit respectively through the annular cam in the power transmission mechanism, wherein the power transmission mechanism provides axial power to the first-level active locking unit, and uses the power transmission assembly to transmit axial power to the dividing ring assembly, the dividing ring assembly is used to lock or unlock the third cam roller in the wedge ring assembly, and the axial movement of the guide drive ring in the dividing ring assembly realizes the up and down movement of the locking pin wedge ring, thereby realizing the extension or retraction of the locking pin.

The power transmission mechanism provides axial power to the active-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit, and the active-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit overcomes the docking force brought by the fluid plug and the socket, and then overcomes the docking force brought by the spring contact pin, and docks with the passive-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit.

[0028] 4. The docking interface of this invention utilizes a petal-shaped mechanical interface. Approach is first achieved through position control by external space equipment, and then the space equipment switches to impedance control to achieve tight mating of the docking surfaces. Impedance control utilizes the petal-shaped mechanical interface to achieve near-zero docking force between the active and passive ends. Unlike traditional shaft-hole mating, the protrusions and depressions of the petals on the active and passive ends constrain each other, ensuring that even significant position adjustments only produce adjustable docking force without completely separating the active and passive ends.

[0029] 5. In the present invention, when the active docking locking module and the passive docking locking module are tightly fitted together, since the overall structure of the passive docking locking module is relatively simple and does not have driving capability, there is no need to consider the synchronization of the outputs of the active docking locking module and the passive docking locking module. Locking can be achieved by relying solely on the output of the active docking locking module. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0073] The working process of the present invention is further described below to further demonstrate the working principle and advantages of the present invention:

[0074] 1. Docking and locking process:

[0075] Initial stage:

[0076] like Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the state of the active docking locking module A and the passive docking locking module B before docking, at which time the active docking locking module A is in the initial state; wherein the locking pin 632 is located at the top of the second annular shell 631, between the upper surface of the locking pin wedge ring 633 and the outer wall of the outer ring 120 in the assembly positioning shell 1 and remains stationary; the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 in the power transmission component 610 are located in the horizontal guide section 1 535 on the annular cam 530; the third cam roller 634 in the wedge ring component 630 abuts against the recess 6213 of the baffle 6212 in the dividing ring component 620; the fourth cam roller 101 in the active end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 is located in the horizontal section 5391 of the guide hole 539 of the intermediate guide ring 532 in the annular cam 530.

[0077] Docking and locking process of active docking and locking module A and passive docking and locking module B:

[0078] S1, when the active docking and locking module A and the passive docking and locking module B approach each other under the driving action of the external space equipment, the petal-shaped assembly positioning shell 1 in the active docking and locking module A cooperates with the petal-shaped docking shell 12 in the passive docking and locking module B to achieve rapid positioning;

[0079] S2, when the active docking locking module A and the passive docking locking module B are positioned, the motor is started, and the torque output by the motor is decelerated through the planetary gear system, and then the torque is transmitted to the annular cam 530 and the annular cam 530 rotates clockwise. The horizontal guide section 1 535 on the annular cam 530 does not generate a force on the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 in the power transmission component 610. When the annular cam 530 continues to rotate clockwise, the climbing section 536 generates an axial squeezing force on the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611, and the first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 drive the adapter ring 611 to overcome the elastic force of the small spring. The four second cam rollers 616 on the adapter ring 611 generate an axial downward squeezing force on the guide drive ring 624 in the indexing ring assembly 620, so that the guide drive ring 624 in the indexing ring assembly 620 overcomes the elastic force of the large spring and moves downward. When the guide rod 6241 in the short slide groove of the guide drive ring 624 moves to the notch 6213 of the baffle 6212, the guide rod 6241 squeezes the third cam roller 634 in the wedge ring assembly 630 downward, and the outer wall of the guide rod 6241 and the left side of the guide slope in the baffle 6212 form a smooth slope surface, and the third cam roller 634 in the wedge ring assembly 630 abuts against the slope. The upper support spring 635 and the lower support spring 636 are in a compressed state, so the upper support spring 635 and the lower support spring 636 always give an upward force to the locking pin wedge ring 633, and the locking pin wedge ring 633 transmits the upward force to the third cam roller 634, and the third cam roller 634 generates a counterclockwise pushing force on the indexing ring 621 and the guide drive ring 624. The indexing ring assembly 620 rotates counterclockwise, and the third cam roller 634 moves upward under the thrust of the locking pin wedge ring 633, and gradually reaches the top of the slope surface; at this time, the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 in the power transmission assembly 610 are in the annular cam 530 At the bottom end of the guide protrusion 534, the annular cam 530 continues to rotate clockwise, and the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 are in the downslope section 537. The adapter ring 611 moves upward under the rebound force of the small spring 614. The second cam roller 616 on the adapter ring 611 does not exert a downward squeezing force on the guide drive ring 624 in the indexing ring assembly 620. The guide drive ring 624 moves upward under the rebound force of the large spring 623. The third cam roller 634 in the wedge ring assembly 630 enters the long slide groove under the upward thrust of the locking pin wedge ring 633. The locking pin wedge ring 633 is no longer restricted by the locking of the indexing ring assembly 620 and moves upward.At the same time, the lower support spring 636 exerts an upward thrust on the second annular housing 631, causing it to move upward. The locking pin wedge ring 633, under the rebound force of the upper support spring 635, exerts an upward thrust on the locking pin 632. The locking pin 632, guided by the guide ramp of the locking pin wedge ring 633, partially extends out of the wedge ring assembly 630 and inserts into the primary passive locking port 7 in the passive docking locking module B, thereby locking the active docking locking module A with the passive docking locking module B.

[0080] At the same time, the fourth cam roller 101 in the active-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 enters the sloped drive section 5392 from the horizontal section 5391 of the guide hole 539. Under the thrust of the annular cam 530 and the guidance of the second sliding through hole 111 on the inner shell 110 of the assembly positioning shell 1, the fourth cam roller 101 drives the active-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 and the permanent magnetic deenergizing brake to move upward along the axial direction. The active-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 overcomes the docking force caused by the fluid plug and the socket, and then overcomes the docking force caused by the spring contact pin, and docks with the passive-end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 11. Under the action of the magnetic field, the permanent magnetic deenergizing brake overcomes the docking force caused by the fluid plug and the socket, and then overcomes the docking force caused by the spring contact pin, and is attracted together with the armature, so that the active docking locking module A and the passive docking locking module B are further locked, achieving a secondary locking fixation.

[0081] 2. Unlocking and returning process:

[0082] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The figure shows the state of the active docking locking module A and the passive docking locking module B after docking; wherein, the locking pin 632 is located at the top of the second annular shell 631, between the upper surface of the locking pin wedge ring 633 and the first-level passive locking port 7 in the passive docking locking module B and remains stationary; the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 in the power transmission component 610 are located in the horizontal guide section 2 538 on the annular cam 530; the third cam roller 634 in the wedge ring assembly 630 abuts against the top of the long slide groove in the dividing ring assembly 620; the fourth cam roller 101 in the active end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 is located at the top of the sloped drive section 5392 of the guide hole 539 of the intermediate guide ring 532 in the annular cam 530.

[0083] Unlocking process of active docking locking module A and passive docking locking module B:

[0084] S1, the permanent magnet de-energized brake is energized and the attraction force with the armature disappears;

[0085] S2, the motor starts, and the torque output by the motor is decelerated through the planetary gear system, and then the torque is transmitted to the annular cam 530, causing the annular cam 530 to rotate counterclockwise. The second horizontal guide section 538 on the annular cam 530 will not generate a force on the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 in the power transmission assembly 610. When the annular cam 530 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the downhill section 537 generates an axial squeezing force on the three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611. The first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 drive the adapter ring 611 to overcome the elastic force of the small spring and move axially downward. The four second cam rollers 616 on the adapter ring 611 drive the guide in the indexing ring assembly 620. The ring 624 generates an axial downward extrusion force, causing the guide drive ring 624 in the dividing ring assembly 620 to overcome the elastic force of the large spring and move downward. The guide rod 6241 in the long slide groove of the dividing ring squeezes the third cam roller 634 in the wedge ring assembly 630. The third cam roller 634 drives the locking pin wedge ring 633 to move downward. The downward slope surface on the locking pin wedge ring 633 no longer generates an extrusion force on the locking pin 632, and drives the second annular shell 631 to move downward. Driven by the second annular shell 631, the locking pin 632 returns to the position between the upward slope surface of the locking pin wedge ring 633 and the second annular shell 631, and disengages from the first-level passive lock port 7 in the passive docking locking module B, and the two are unlocked.

[0086] At the same time, the fourth cam roller 101 in the active end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 enters the horizontal section 5391 from the slope drive section 5392 of the guide hole 539 under the counterclockwise rotation of the annular cam. Under the thrust of the annular cam 530 and the guidance of the second sliding through hole 111 on the inner shell 110 in the assembly positioning shell 1, the fourth cam roller 101 drives the active end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 and the permanent magnet power-off brake to move downward along the axial direction, and the active end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 10 is separated from the passive end fluid transmission and electrical connector unit 11.

[0087] S3, the active docking and locking module A and the passive docking and locking module B are driven away by the external space equipment.

[0088] The homing process of the active docking locking module:

[0089] The fourth cam roller 634 of the wedge ring assembly 630 is pressed against the guide slope in the left baffle 6212 after the guide rod 6241 in the long slide groove moves downward for a distance. The first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 in the power transmission assembly 610 are at the bottom of the guide protrusion 534 in the annular cam 530, and the annular cam 530 continues to rotate counterclockwise. The three first cam rollers 615 on the adapter ring 611 are in the climbing section 536, and the adapter ring 611 moves upward under the rebound force of the small spring 614. The second cam roller 616 on the adapter ring 611 will not produce a downward squeezing force on the guide drive ring 624 in the indexing ring assembly 620. The guide drive ring 624 moves upward under the rebound force of the large spring 623, and the third cam roller 634 is in the recess of the baffle under the thrust of the locking pin wedge ring 633. The third cam roller 634 in the wedge ring assembly 630 is locked by the indexing ring in the indexing ring assembly 620 and remains stationary, thereby realizing the return of the active docking locking module A.
