[0001] The invention relates to a deployable sunshade, in particular to a three-fold deployable sunshade based on a planar mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing demand for space situational awareness, the aperture of space optical cameras has gradually increased, and the size of the components compatible with space optical cameras has also increased accordingly. Among them, the size of the sunshade, as the core component for realizing the functions of space optical cameras, has also increased significantly. At present, most of the large-sized sunshades used in space orbit are one-piece structures and do not have the function of being deployable. However, due to the limitation of rocket space, the large envelope volume of large-sized sunshades has obvious defects during rocket launch. Therefore, applying the idea of ​​foldability to large-sized sunshades is a new idea to solve this problem.

[0003] In recent years, many researchers have proposed some deployable sunshade solutions, mainly including sunshade solutions that combine rigid skeletons, elastic materials, inflatable composite materials and other new materials with flexible composite materials. However, the deployable sunshades based on the above solutions have low precision after deployment and have the limitation of low rigidity. Space optical cameras require rigid sunshades with higher rigidity. The existing solutions include a screw-driven cylindrical deployment method, but it can only be applied to smaller-sized space optical systems. Summary of the invention

[0040] In order to make the advantages and features of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a three-fold expandable sunshade based on a planar mechanism comprises a planar sunshade 1, a bottom plate 2, two first elastically driven hinges 3 and two second elastically driven hinges 4.

[0042] The planar sunshade 1 comprises a sunshade upper portion 11 and a sunshade lower portion 12. The sunshade upper portion 11 comprises an upper plane substrate 111 and two upper fixed side plates 112 vertically connected to both sides of the upper plane substrate 111; the sunshade lower portion 12 comprises a lower plane substrate 121 arranged at the lower end of the upper plane substrate 111 and two lower fixed side plates 122 vertically connected to both sides of the lower plane substrate 121; a plurality of light-blocking strips 13 are horizontally arranged on one side surface of the upper plane substrate 111 and the lower plane substrate 121, respectively, and the inner side walls of the two upper fixed side plates 112 and the inner side walls of the two lower fixed side plates 122 are respectively abutted against the two ends of the corresponding light-blocking strips 13. The angle between the upper plane substrate 111 and the upper surface of the corresponding light shielding strip 13, and the angle between the lower plane substrate 121 and the upper surface of the corresponding light shielding strip 13 are both obtuse angles, and each angle decreases from top to bottom. Correspondingly, the width of the upper fixed side plate 112 and the width of the lower fixed side plate 122 increase from top to bottom. The angle between the upper plane substrate 111 and the lower plane substrate 121 and the upper surface of the lower light shielding strip 13 is greater than the angle between them and the upper surface of the upper light shielding strip 13, which can better suppress stray light.

[0043] The outer side walls of the two lower fixed side panels 122 are connected to the upper surfaces of both sides of the bottom plate 2 through the first elastic drive hinge 3, and the lower end surface of the lower plane substrate 121 is gap-matched with the corresponding position of the upper surface of the bottom plate 2; the outer side walls of the two upper fixed side panels 112 are connected to the outer side walls of the two lower fixed side panels 122 through the corresponding second elastic drive hinge 4; preferably, the second elastic drive hinge 4 is arranged on the upper fixed side panels 112 and the lower fixed side panels 122 at a position away from the bottom plate 2, so as to enable the upper half of the plane sunshade 1 to be folded outward. The unfolding angle of the first elastic drive hinge 3 is 90 degrees, and the unfolding angle of the second elastic drive hinge 4 is 180 degrees, so as to enable the lower half of the plane sunshade 1 to be folded inward by 90 degrees, and the upper half of the plane sunshade 1 to be folded outward by 180 degrees.

[0044] An optical through hole is axially opened on the base plate 2, and multiple light-blocking strips 13 are located on the upper plane substrate 111 and the lower plane substrate 121 facing the side of the base plate 2 when unfolded, so as to block stray light in the space. At the same time, this arrangement can make the light-blocking strips 13 located inside the plane light-blocking cover 1 when the plane light-blocking cover 1 is in the folded state, effectively avoiding interference contact with the light-blocking strips 13.

[0045] The outer walls of the two lower fixed side panels 122 are respectively provided with first pressing seats 5, the outer walls of the two upper fixed side panels 112 are respectively provided with second pressing seats 6, and the corresponding positions of the bottom plate 2 are provided with two locking devices 7, which are used to make the plane light shield 1 in the folded state to be locked by the first pressing seat 5, the second pressing seat 6 and the corresponding locking device 7. Specifically, the locking device 7 includes a base and a locking rod arranged on the base, and a pyrotechnic detonating device is arranged in the base. The first pressing seat 5 and the second pressing seat 6 are respectively provided with locking holes adapted to the locking rod. When the light shield needs to be opened, the pyrotechnic detonating device is remotely controlled to detonate, so that the locking rod is separated from the base, thereby realizing the separation of the locking device 7 from the first pressing seat 5 and the second pressing seat 6. The locking device 7 can select the pyrotechnic unlocking device commonly used in aerospace, the memory alloy unlocking device, etc.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, a planar three-link mechanism is formed between the lower portion 12 of the sunshade and the base plate 2 via two first elastically driven hinges 3 with an unfolding angle of 90 degrees, and between the upper portion 11 of the sunshade and the lower portion 12 of the sunshade via two second elastically driven hinges 4 with an unfolding angle of 180 degrees. In conjunction with the first clamping seat 5, the second clamping seat 6 and the locking device 7, the planar sunshade 1 can be folded in three parts to achieve a smaller spatial volume during rocket launch. When reaching the expected position on orbit, the two sets of planar three-link mechanisms are driven by the first elastically driven hinges 3 and the second elastically driven hinges 4 to unfold and lock the planar sunshade 1 from the three-folded state, thereby providing a new idea for the on-orbit application of large-size sunshades.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first elastic drive hinge 3 and the second elastic drive hinge 4 are both sliding groove type vortex spring locking hinges. Figure 3 As shown, taking the first elastic drive hinge 3 as an example, it includes a first fixed seat 31, a second fixed seat 32, a male hinge 33, a female hinge 34, a spiral spring 35, a clamping rod 36, a locking pin 37 and a clamping torsion spring 38. The first fixed seat 31 is installed on the upper surface of the base 2, and the second fixed seat 32 is installed on the outer side wall of the lower fixed side plate 122; the female hinge 34 is arranged on the first fixed seat 31 and connected to the fixed end of the spiral spring 35, and the male hinge 33 is arranged on the second fixed seat 32 and connected to the movable end of the spiral spring 35, so as to make the male hinge 33 rotate along the motion track of the movable end of the spiral spring 35. A fixed shaft is installed on the female hinge 34, and the clamping torsion spring 38 is installed on the fixed shaft; one end of the clamping rod 36 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the locking pin 37, and the locking pin 37 is arranged corresponding to the male hinge 33. When the male hinge 33 is locked, a sliding groove is provided on the male hinge 33 at a position corresponding to the locking pin 37, and a protrusion is provided on the male hinge 33 at a position below the sliding groove. The working end of the compression torsion spring 38 presses against the locking pin 37, so that when the male hinge 33 is in the initial state, under the action of the compression torsion spring 38, the locking pin 37 slides into the sliding groove for mechanical limit locking; when the male hinge 33 follows the spiral spring 35 to move away from the initial state, the locking pin 37 is pressed against the protrusion of the male hinge 33 under the action of the compression torsion spring 38. The second elastic drive hinge 4 has the same structure as the first elastic drive hinge 3, except that the first fixed seat in the second elastic drive hinge 4 is installed on the outer wall of the lower fixed side plate 122, and the second fixed seat is installed on the outer wall of the upper fixed side plate 112; accordingly, the driving torque of the spiral spring in the second elastic drive hinge 4 is twice the driving torque of the spiral spring 35 in the first elastic drive hinge 3. In addition, in this embodiment, it is preferred to make the stiffness of the spiral spring 35 in the first elastic drive hinge 3 greater than the stiffness of the spiral spring in the second elastic drive hinge 4, so as to make the expansion speed of the first elastic drive hinge greater than the expansion speed of the second elastic drive hinge, so as to ensure that the second elastic drive hinge 4 will not be subjected to excessive impact and damage during 180-degree expansion and locking.

[0048] The locking process of the vortex spring locking hinge is as follows Figure 4As shown, when the plane sunshade 1 is in the three-folded state, the vortex spring 35 continuously provides the vortex spring locking hinge with a driving torque in the unfolding direction, but at this time, due to the action of the locking device 7, the vortex spring locking hinge is in a non-expanded state. When the plane sunshade 1 arrives at the expected on-orbit working position with the rocket launch, the locking device 7 is unlocked, and the lower part 12 of the sunshade is driven to unfold under the action of the torque of the vortex spring 35, and the locking pin 37 is always pressed on the male hinge 33 under the action of the compression torsion spring 38. When the lower part 12 of the sunshade is unfolded to the predetermined working position, the locking pin 37 moves to the chute position of the male hinge 33, enters the chute under the action of the compression torsion spring 38, and is mechanically limited and locked; correspondingly, the upper part 11 of the sunshade is driven to unfold under the action of the vortex spring torque of the second elastic driving hinge 4, and when the upper part 11 of the sunshade is unfolded to the predetermined working position, the corresponding locking pin enters the chute under the action of the compression torsion spring and is mechanically limited and locked.

[0049] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the unfolding process of the upper part 11 and the lower part 22 of the sunshade using two sets of symmetrically arranged planar three-link mechanisms. When the upper part 11 and the lower part 22 of the sunshade are in a fully retracted state, that is, the upper part 11 and the lower part 22 of the sunshade are fixedly connected with the base plate 2 through the clamping structure 7 and the first clamping seat 5 and the second clamping seat 6. When the planar sunshade 1 reaches the expected on-orbit working position with the rocket launch, the locking device 7 is unlocked to eliminate the fixed constraint. At this time, the volute spring in the first elastic drive hinge 3 and the second elastic drive hinge 4 provides the planar three-link mechanism with an unfolding driving torque, driving the planar three-link mechanism to unfold according to its own motion trajectory, that is, driving the upper part 11 and the lower part 22 of the sunshade to unfold respectively. After unfolding to the predetermined working position, the locking pins in the first elastic driven hinge 3 and the second elastic driven hinge 4 respectively move to the corresponding sliding groove positions of the male hinges, and enter the sliding grooves under the action of the compression torsion springs, thereby locking the first elastic driven hinge 3 and the second elastic driven hinge 4.

[0050] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. For ordinary professional and technical personnel in the field, the specific technical solution recorded in the above embodiment can be modified, or some of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution protected by the present invention.
