Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Space on-orbit capture technology is a frontier space technology research hotspot. With the development of science and technology, humans have launched a large number of spacecraft into space. The harsh environment in space can have a serious impact on the safety and life of the spacecraft, resulting in a large number of failed spacecraft in space, occupying space resources. Space capture mechanism can capture failed spacecraft for on-orbit repair and reuse, or drag them to a graveyard orbit to release space resources. Space capture technology is mainly applied to the capture of non-cooperative targets outside the spacecraft or space station, so the space capture should have basic capture, sensing analysis function, flexible working space, working mode for different capture targets, controllable capture stiffness and force, and also needs to consider on-orbit service. The capture hand also needs to be light in quality, small in size, high in folding ratio and suitable for the working environment of vacuum weightlessness.

[0003] Among the existing common space capture technologies, they are generally aimed at cooperative targets for capture, such as flying claw capture, docking ring capture, etc. Since there is no docking device, it is difficult to effectively capture non-cooperative targets. The flying net technology and truss type capture technology currently applied to non-cooperative target capture are extremely complex to adjust the pose due to the flexible net, which is difficult to operate. The latter occupies too much space during transportation. Therefore, it is urgent to research a new mechanical hand to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0049] ​When the working state, the expandable base 1 is driven by the traction rope or the motor installed at the joint to gradually expand to a caliber sufficient to accommodate the captured target, at this time, the expandable base 1 drives the first coupling branch chain 23 and the second coupling branch chain 24 to move, so that the distance between the inner disc 21 and the outer disc 22 gradually increases. The distance between the inner disc 21 and the outer disc 22 gradually increases, which makes the first connecting rod 25 and the fourth connecting rod 254 in the four-bar linkage mechanism 25 gradually transition from the vertical state to the horizontal state, thereby completing the preparation stage of the capturing action.

[0050] When the expandable base 1 is retracted, the expandable base 1 drives the first coupling branch chain 23 and the second coupling branch chain 24 to move, so that the distance between the inner disc 21 and the outer disc 22 gradually decreases. In turn, the four-bar linkage mechanism 25 gradually converges to the center.
