[0056] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0057] The present invention is a reliable high-precision positioning tool suitable for extravehicular environments, and is an important guarantee for ensuring that astronauts can reliably fix the surface of extravehicular flat equipment and accurately locate maintenance points in an extravehicular environment.
[0058] like Figure 1As shown, a reliable and high-precision positioning tool suitable for extravehicular environment includes a clamping assembly, a handle fixing assembly and an angle positioning assembly, which can enable Chinese astronauts to carry out precise positioning and effectively implement maintenance operations in the extravehicular environment. The clamping assembly is used to clamp flat equipment. After the clamping assembly clamps the flat equipment, the handle fixing assembly provides additional pressure to the clamping assembly to achieve reliable fixation of the extravehicular flat equipment. The angle positioning assembly drives the maintenance tool to move to the position of the flat equipment to be repaired outside the cabin.
[0059] Specifically,
[0060] 1) Clamping assembly
[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a handle clamping mechanism and an alignment constraint component.
[0062] The handle clamping mechanism includes a clamping bracket, a pressure plate handle, a fixed handle, a cross transfer rod, a closed energy storage spring, a connecting rod and a closed bottom plate; the alignment constraint component is used to match and align with the flat equipment outside the cabin, including a feature alignment plate and an observation plate, and the feature alignment plate is fixed on the upper surface of the closed bottom plate; the feature alignment plate matches the appearance characteristics of the flat equipment outside the cabin.
[0063] Both the pressure plate handle and the fixed handle are frame structures, and the center of the lower end surface of the fixed handle is fixed to the observation plate of the positioning constraint component through a clamping bracket; the clamping bracket is a cylindrical structure, and through holes are processed on the upper and lower frame beams of the fixed handle, and the lower end and side walls of the pressure plate handle pass through the through holes, and the center of the lower end surface of the pressure plate handle is connected to the upper end of the connecting rod through a cross connecting rod, and the connecting rod is located inside the clamping bracket, and the lower end of the connecting rod passes through the positioning constraint component and is fixed to the closed bottom plate; the closed energy storage spring is located inside the clamping bracket and is mounted on the connecting rod, and the lower end is fixed to the clamping bracket, and a spring limiting ring is provided on the connecting rod.
[0064] An observation window and an alignment window are processed on the observation plate. The observation window facilitates the determination of the alignment relationship between the characteristic alignment plate and the appearance characteristics of the extravehicular flat equipment during operation. The alignment window corresponds to the position of the extravehicular flat equipment to be repaired.
[0065] The astronauts squeeze the pressure plate handle to prompt the alignment and constraint component to open the clamping space, making it easier to insert the flat device into the outer surface; when the astronauts release the pressure plate handle, the alignment and constraint component automatically closes the clamping space and, under the action of the closing energy storage spring, automatically clamps on the surface of the flat device, effectively preventing the positioning tool from floating off the product surface.
[0066] The feature alignment plate forms complementary concave and convex features with the flat device mounting surface, and the accuracy of tool alignment is confirmed by the complementary matching between the features.
[0067] 2) Handle fixing assembly
[0068] There are two sets of handle fixing components, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the alignment constraint component along the clamping bracket.
[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, each handle fixing assembly includes a rotating handle, a fixing bracket, and a threaded sleeve assembly; the threaded sleeve assembly includes a rotating screw, a screw hole sleeve, a locking bracket, and a fixing nut, and the fixing bracket includes a cover plate, a partition plate, and a main body bracket.
[0070] The rotating handle is a crossbar configuration, with a square mounting positioning hole in the center and symmetrical conical structures on both sides, with the cone angle facing the center. The top of the rotating screw passes through the center of the rotating handle and is gap-matched with the square mounting positioning hole of the rotating handle. The fixing nut is fastened to the end of the rotating screw extending out of the square mounting positioning hole of the rotating handle; the screw hole sleeve is screwed to the lower threaded section of the rotating screw; a screw positioning ring is provided on the rotating screw, and the screw positioning ring is located above the threaded section. The screw hole sleeve is located in the main bracket, the partition is located on the main bracket, the screw positioning ring is located on the partition, and the cover plate is covered on the screw positioning ring. The screw passes through the cover plate, the screw positioning ring, the partition and the main bracket in sequence to achieve fastening; the bottom of the screw hole sleeve extends from the lower end of the main bracket, passes through the alignment constraint component and the closed bottom plate, and is fixedly connected to the locking bracket.
[0071] The handle fixing assembly provides additional pressure to the clamping assembly, improving the fixing reliability of the positioning tool.
[0072] After the astronaut provides the initial rotation speed, the rotating handle continues to maintain the subsequent rotation power according to its own inertia, replacing the astronaut's rotation operation.
[0073] The fixed bracket is connected with the clamping assembly to provide a constraint reference for the rotation of the rotating handle, so that the rotational inertia of the rotating handle is stabilized in the rotation direction.
[0074] The threaded sleeve assembly converts the rotation direction of the rotary handle into the locking direction of the up and down movement of the locking bracket, and locks the rotary handle through the thread self-locking angle. The locking bracket converts the thread locking force into the locking surface pressure.
[0075] 3) Angle positioning component
[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the angle positioning assembly includes a releasing component, a feeding component and an execution object, and the angle positioning assembly and the clamping assembly share a clamping bracket.
[0077] The front end of the execution object is a positioning rod, and the rear end is a positioning cavity. An execution object positioning ring is arranged between the positioning rod and the positioning cavity, and a through hole is arranged in the middle of the side of the execution object positioning ring facing the positioning cavity; the execution object positioning ring is sleeved on the clamping bracket, and the clamping bracket is provided with a locking hole and a limiting slide groove, and the upper part of the clamping bracket is provided with an annular limiting observation surface; a clamping mechanism is designed at the front end of the positioning rod for clamping maintenance tools.
[0078] The release component includes an operating handle, a locking pin, a rotating shaft, a housing and a reset spring; a through hole is opened on one side of the operating handle, the rotating shaft is installed in the through hole, the locking pin includes a pin body and a pin head, one end of the pin body is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the pin head; the reset spring is installed on the pin body, and the locking pin and the reset spring are installed in the housing; the housing is fixedly connected to the positioning cavity of the execution object, and when locking, the pin head of the locking pin passes through the through hole on the positioning ring and is inserted into the locking hole of the center slide rod to achieve locking.
[0079] The feeding component includes a feeding energy storage spring, an outer cylinder, a limiting rod, a limiter and a reset handle; the energy storage spring is sleeved on the central slide rod, the outer cylinder is sleeved on the outside of the feeding energy storage spring, the upper end of the feeding energy storage spring is limited by the limiting observation surface on the upper part of the clamping bracket, the reset handle is sleeved on the central slide rod, the feeding energy storage spring, the outer cylinder and the reset handle are all located above the execution object, and the lower end surface of the feeding energy storage spring is in contact with the upper end surface of the reset handle; the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the execution object, and the limiting rod is installed on the clamping bracket and can slide up and down along the limiting slide groove; the limiter is sleeved on the central slide rod and is located at the lower end of the limiting slide groove. Baffles are set on both sides of the rotation direction of the operating handle to limit the rotation angle of the operating handle. After installation, the maintenance tool clamped by the front end of the positioning rod of the angle positioning assembly is located directly above the alignment window of the observation plate.
[0080] The astronauts squeeze the operating handle, which uses the side with the through hole as a fulcrum to lift the locking pin, which leaves the original locking position. The feeding component and the execution object are automatically fed to the limiter under the action of the feeding energy storage spring. When the astronauts perform the reset operation through the reset handle, the locking pin automatically clings to the outer surface of the clamping bracket under the action of the reset spring. When it is reset to the original locking position, the locking pin automatically pushes into the locking position under the action of the reset spring, and at the same time compresses the feeding energy storage spring to restore it to its original initial position.
[0081] In the "release" state, the feed energy storage spring expands and releases elastic force, pushing the angle positioning component to move; in the "locked" state, the feed energy storage spring compresses to store elastic force, and the angle positioning component returns to its original locked position. The reset handle is set at the lower end of the feed component and distributed on both sides of the feed component, so that astronauts can evenly apply force on both sides during the reset operation, compressing the feed energy storage spring to restore the feed component to its original initial position.
[0082] The angle positioning component is the interface component that connects the positioning tool with other maintenance tools. The angle positioning component drives the maintenance tool to reach the designated maintenance position.
[0083] The application method of the positioning tool of the present invention is as follows:
[0084] Before operation, astronauts should rotate the rotary handles on both sides synchronously to open the locking brackets on both sides to the maximum position. Figure 5 shown.
[0085] When the astronaut is at the operating point, he / she squeezes the pressure plate handle and the fixed handle, and opens the feature alignment plate and the observation plate through the connecting rod to form a clamping space. Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown.
[0086] The astronauts put the extravehicular flat device into the space between the observation plate and the characteristic alignment plate, and align the extravehicular flat device through the complementary matching of the shape features of the extravehicular flat device and the boss features of the characteristic alignment plate; and after confirming the effective alignment through the observation window, the pressure plate handle is released, and the observation plate and the characteristic alignment plate are automatically closed under the action of the closing energy storage spring, realizing the fixed constraint of the freedom of movement of the extravehicular flat device. Figure 8 shown.
[0087] The astronauts rotate the rotary handles synchronously from both sides of the tool to move the locking bracket upward, press the closed bottom plate, and increase the pressure between the observation plate and the feature alignment plate, such as Fig. 9 , Fig.10 shown.
[0088] The astronaut checks the positioning accuracy of the angle positioning component. When the accuracy meets the requirements, press the operating handle of the angle positioning component. The execution object and the reset handle move along the limit slide to the top of the limiter under the action of the feed energy storage spring. Fig.11 , Fig.12 Two angle limiting bosses are set on the limiter, one side of the first limiting boss is set as limiting surface A, and one side of the second limiting boss is set as limiting surface B. The angle between limiting surface A and limiting surface B is set to 180°, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 Two grooves are set on the lower surface of the positioning ring of the execution object, a limiting surface C is set on one side of the first positioning groove, and a limiting surface D is set on one side of the second positioning groove, and the angle between the limiting surface C and the limiting surface D is set to 180°, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 After being released, the angle limit boss of the stopper is inserted into the corresponding groove on the positioning ring. The angle positioning assembly contacts the limit surfaces A and B on both sides of the stopper through the limit surfaces C and D on the lower side of the positioning ring to ensure that the angle is within the limit surface accuracy range. Fig.15 shown.
[0089] At this point, the maintenance tool for clamping the object is located above the alignment hole for subsequent maintenance by astronauts.
[0090] The positioning tool sets a positioning hole on the observation plate and sets a fixed point on the angle positioning component, such as Fig.16 As shown, the coaxiality of the two center holes is achieved to ensure the precise positioning of the maintenance point, such as Fig.17 .
[0091] The present invention can effectively ensure that astronauts can reliably fix the surface of flat equipment outside the cabin and accurately locate the maintenance points in the extravehicular environment. By using the present invention, astronauts can conveniently use it in the extravehicular environment and reliably fix the positioning tool on the surface of the product, thereby solving the technical problem of carrying out related operations. The present invention improves the feasibility of extravehicular equipment maintenance through high-precision positioning and ensures the long-term safe operation of the space station.

11. An application method of a high-precision positioning tool for flat equipment in an extravehicular environment, characterized in that: include: Before operation, astronauts should rotate the rotary handles on both sides synchronously to open the locking brackets on both sides to the maximum position; When the astronaut is at the operating point, he / she squeezes the pressure plate handle and the fixed handle, and opens the feature alignment plate and the observation plate through the connecting rod to form a clamping space; The astronauts put the extravehicular flat device into the clamping space between the observation plate and the characteristic alignment plate, and align the extravehicular flat device through complementary matching of the appearance features and the characteristic alignment plate; and confirm whether the alignment is effective through the observation window. After the alignment is effective, the pressure plate handle is released, and the observation plate and the characteristic alignment plate are automatically closed under the action of the closing energy storage spring, so as to achieve fixed constraint on the freedom of movement of the extravehicular flat device; The astronauts rotate the rotary handles synchronously from both sides to move the locking bracket upward, compressing the closed bottom plate and increasing the pressure between the observation plate and the feature alignment plate; The astronaut checks the positioning accuracy of the angle positioning component. When the accuracy meets the requirements, he presses the operating handle of the angle positioning component. The execution object and the reset handle move along the limit slide to the top of the limiter under the action of the feed energy storage spring. At this point, the maintenance tool for clamping the object is located above the alignment hole for subsequent maintenance by astronauts.
