DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] As described in the background, there are working conditions that require the installation of solar wings on the truss when the spacecraft is in stable operation in orbit. During the process of installing the solar wings on the truss by astronauts, the foot limiters are used to limit the position of the feet of astronauts in weightlessness, so that the maintenance work can be carried out more smoothly. Since the straight-line distance between the astronaut at the mechanical arm and the astronaut at the truss is far, the foot limiter cannot be directly transmitted by the arm. Therefore, how to complete the long-distance transmission of the foot limiter in a weightless state has become a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0047] It should be noted that the foot limiter for on-orbit maintenance has a handle in the form of a "T" structure to facilitate the gripping of the human hand. The human hand holding the handle of the foot limiter can complete the short-distance transmission.

[0048] To solve the above problems, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the present application provides an extravehicular transfer device for a foot limiter for on-orbit maintenance, comprising an extension rod 110 and a clamping mechanism 120. The extension rod 110 is used to extend the transmission distance. The clamping mechanism 120 is installed at one end of the extension rod 110 and is used to clamp the handle of the foot limiter. When the handle of the foot limiter is clamped by the clamping mechanism 120, it can move with the clamping mechanism 120. The clamping mechanism 120 comprises a clamping seat 121, two clamping jaws 122, a sliding shaft 123, a first locking part 124 and a second locking part 125. The clamping seat 121 is fixedly installed at one end of the extension rod 110. The two clamping jaws 122 are rotatably installed at the end of the clamping seat 121 away from the extension rod 110. A clamping cavity adapted to the handle of the foot limiter is formed between the two clamping jaws 122. The sliding shaft 123 is axially slidably installed in the clamping seat 121, and the end away from the extension rod 110 is hingedly connected to each clamping jaw 122. The first locking part 124 is installed on the clamping seat 121 and can act to restrict or release the sliding shaft 123 from sliding along the axis of the clamping seat 121 towards the clamping jaw 122. The second locking part 125 is installed at the end of the extension rod 110 close to the clamping seat 121 and can act to restrict or release the first locking part 124 from acting.

[0049] When the spacecraft is in stable operation in orbit, the process and principle of long-distance transmission of the foot limiter by the astronaut in weightlessness are as follows:

[0050] Firstly, the astronaut's hand at the mechanical arm drives the two clamping jaws 122 to rotate towards each other to clamp the handle of the foot limiter. In this process, the two clamping jaws 122 drive the sliding shaft 123 to slide along the clamping seat 121 axially away from the clamping jaws 122, the first locking part 124 can be actuated to limit the sliding shaft 123 from sliding along the clamping seat 121 axially towards the clamping jaws 122, and the sliding shaft 123 is locked once to prevent the foot limiter from being separated from the clamping jaws 122. Then, the astronaut's hand at the mechanical arm drives the second locking part 125 to be actuated to limit the first locking part 124 from being actuated, and the second locking of the sliding shaft 123 is completed to prevent the foot limiter from being separated from the clamping jaws 122. After that, the astronaut at the mechanical arm moves the clamping mechanism 120 and the extension rod 110 towards the astronaut at the truss, and the foot limiter moves stably with the clamping mechanism 120. When the astronaut's hand at the truss contacts the foot limiter, the astronaut's hand at the truss drives the second locking part 125 to be actuated to release the limitation of the first locking part 124, so as to release the second locking state. Then, the astronaut's hand at the truss drives the first locking part 124 to be actuated again to release the first locking state. The actuated first locking part 124 releases the limitation of the sliding shaft 123, and the sliding shaft 123 can slide along the clamping seat 121 axially towards the clamping jaws 122 to drive the two clamping jaws 122 to rotate away from each other to release the handle of the foot limiter. When the astronaut at the mechanical arm delivers the foot limiter to the astronaut at the truss, the long-distance delivery task of the foot limiter can be smoothly completed by means of the foot limiter extravehicular transfer device for on-orbit maintenance, and the reliability and safety of the delivery task are ensured.

[0051] Preferably, two sliding grooves are arranged on opposite sides of the end of the clamping seat 121 away from the extension rod 110. The end of the two clamping jaws 122 close to the sliding shaft 123 is respectively provided with a sliding pin. The two sliding pins can slide along the corresponding sliding grooves and rotate to enable the two clamping jaws 122 to rotate towards each other or away from each other.

[0052] Specifically, in the exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6A limiting ring 1231 is arranged at the middle of the sliding shaft 123. The first locking part 124 comprises two locking members 1241 and two torsion springs 1242. The two locking members 1241 are rotatably arranged on the opposite sides of the middle of the clamping seat 121, and are respectively provided with a hook 12411 adapted to the limiting ring 1231 at the end away from the extension rod 110. The one locking member 1241 is inwardly bent to form a pressing part 12412 near the end away from the extension rod 110. The lower part of the one locking member 1241 is connected to the clamping seat 121 through one torsion spring 1242, and the lower part of the other locking member 1241 is connected to the clamping seat 121 through the other torsion spring 1242. Since the two torsion springs 1242 are respectively arranged at the lower parts of the corresponding locking members 1241, the effective pressing area of the locking members 1241 is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of accidental opening. The pressing part 12412 can press against the second locking part 125 to limit the reverse rotation of the two locking members 1241. When the human hand drives the second locking part 125 to move, the pressing part 12412 can be separated from the second locking part 125. At this time, the human hand drives the two locking members 1241 to rotate reversely, so that the hooks 12411 of the two locking members 1241 are separated from the limiting ring 1231, and the sliding shaft 123 slides along the axial direction of the clamping seat 121 towards the clamping jaw 122. It should be noted that the pressing force for driving the two locking members 1241 to rotate reversely is not more than 88N, and the torsion force of the torsion spring 1242 is not more than 50N. When the human hand is separated from the two locking members 1241, the force for restoring the deformation of the torsion spring 1242 drives the hooks 12411 of the two locking members 1241 to press against the side wall of the limiting ring 1231. When the human hand drives the two clamping jaws 122 to rotate towards each other to clamp the handle of the foot limiting device, the two clamping jaws 122 drive the sliding shaft 123 to slide along the axial direction of the clamping seat 121 away from the clamping jaw 122, and the force for restoring the deformation of the two torsion springs 1242 drives the two locking members 1241 to rotate towards each other, so that the hooks 12411 of the two locking members 1241 press against the end face of the limiting ring 1231 away from the extension rod 110, to limit the sliding of the sliding shaft 123 along the axial direction of the clamping seat 121 towards the clamping jaw 122.

[0053] Preferably, the side wall of the limiting ring 1231 is provided with an anti-slip groove adapted to the hook 12411, to avoid the relative sliding between the limiting ring 1231 and the hook 12411.

[0054] Preferably, the material of each locking member 1241 is different from that of the sliding shaft 123, to reduce the risk of cold welding.

[0055] Preferably, the end of each locking member 1241 away from the extension rod 110 is arc-shaped, to prevent the finger from slipping off.

[0056] Preferably, the limiting ring 1231 is in a circular ring structure, a square ring structure, or a cross section of the limiting ring 1231 along the axial direction is in an inverted trapezoidal structure.

[0057] Specifically, in the exemplary embodiment, the second locking part 125 includes a rotating shaft 1251, two push plates 1252, a first anti-falling part 1253, two jackscrews 1254, two pre-tightening springs 1255, and two pre-tightening balls 1256. The rotating shaft 1251 is rotatably installed in the inner portion of the extension rod 110 near one end of the clamping seat 121. A pressure receiving portion 12511 is arranged on the rotating shaft 1251. When the rotating shaft 1251 rotates, the pressure receiving portion 12511 can be in contact with or separated from the pressure receiving portion 12412. The two push plates 1252 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the rotating shaft 1251. The human hand pushes the push plates 1252 to make the rotating shaft 1251 rotate. The clamping seat 121 near one end of the extension rod 110 is provided with a mounting plate 1213, and the extension rod 110 near one end of the clamping seat 121 is provided with a connecting seat 111. The mounting plate 1213 and the connecting seat 111 can be fixedly connected by bolts to fixedly connect the clamping seat 121 and the extension rod 110. The mounting plate 1213 and the connecting seat 111 increase the contact area when the clamping seat 121 and the extension rod 110 are connected, thereby improving the stability of the connection. A scale line is arranged on the outer periphery of the mounting plate 1213. An end of each push plate 1252 away from the rotating shaft 1251 is bent towards the extension rod 110 to form an indicating needle, so as to facilitate the determination of whether the rotating shaft 1251 is rotated to the position. The connecting seat 111 is provided with an anti-falling groove in the middle. The first anti-falling part 1253 is installed on one side of the rotating shaft 1251 and matched with the anti-falling groove, so as to prevent the rotating shaft 1251 from falling into the extension rod 110. A limiting groove is arranged on the side wall of the rotating shaft 1251. The two jackscrews 1254 are respectively installed on opposite sides of one end of the extension rod 110 near the clamping seat 121. The two pre-tightening springs 1255 are sleeved on the jackscrews 1254 one by one. The two pre-tightening balls 1256 are installed on one end of the pre-tightening springs 1255 away from the jackscrews 1254 one by one. The initial pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening balls 1256 on the rotating shaft 1251 can be adjusted by rotating the jackscrews 1254. The initial pre-tightening force is about 10N-50N. When the rotating shaft 1251 rotates, the two pre-tightening balls 1256 are alternately located in the limiting groove to realize gear damping. In addition, a fan-shaped groove can be arranged on the connecting seat 111 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 1251. Each pre-tightening ball 1256 can be an iron ball, a steel ball, or a copper ball.

[0058] Specifically, in the exemplary embodiment, the clamping seat 121 is internally provided with a support seat 1211 near one end of the extension rod 110. The middle part of the support seat 1211 is formed with a clearance hole for the sliding shaft 123 to pass through. The clamping mechanism 120 further comprises a driving spring 126 and a second anti-disengagement piece 127. The driving spring 126 is sleeved on the sliding shaft 123, one end of which abuts against one end face of the limiting ring 1231 near the extension rod 110, and the other end of which abuts against one end face of the support seat 1211 away from the extension rod 110. When the two hooks 12411 of the two locking pieces 1241 abut against the one end face of the limiting ring 1231 away from the extension rod 110, the driving spring 126 is in a compressed state, and when the two hooks 12411 of the two locking pieces 1241 are disengaged from the limiting ring 1231, the sliding shaft 123 is driven to slide along the axial direction of the clamping seat 121 towards the clamping jaw 122 by the force of the driving spring 126 recovering deformation. The second anti-disengagement piece 127 is detachably installed on one end of the sliding shaft 123 near the extension rod 110, so as to avoid that the sliding shaft 123 moves too much when moving towards the clamping jaw 122 and disengages from the clamping seat 121.

[0059] Preferably, the second anti-disengagement piece 127 is a screw, and correspondingly, a threaded hole is arranged on one end of the sliding shaft 123 near the extension rod 110, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the second anti-disengagement piece 127.

[0060] Preferably, the inner walls of the two clamping jaws 122 are respectively provided with anti-disengagement protrusions 1221 matched with the grooves on the handle of the foot limiter, which can effectively prevent the handle of the foot limiter from disengaging from the clamping jaw 122, and improve the stability and reliability of clamping.

[0061] Preferably, the opposite sides of one end of the clamping seat 121 away from the extension rod 110 are respectively provided with baffles 1212, so as to prevent the slide pin from disengaging from the slide groove.

[0062] Preferably, the cross section of the extension rod 110 is a square structure, and one end of the extension rod 110 away from the clamping mechanism 120 is provided with an adapter 112, so as to be connected with a universal handle. The universal handle is used for the human hand to hold, so as to facilitate the operation of the extension rod 110. The extension rod 110 is chamfered on the periphery, so as to prevent scratching the space suit. In addition, the extension rod 110 can be hung with an extravehicular safety belt. The profile of the clamping cavity formed between the two clamping jaws 122 can be matched with the cross section of the handle of the foot limiter, or matched with the cross section of the handrail of the in-cabin operation table.
