[0002] Large spacecraft play a key role in the development of space energy and space exploration, but due to the limited capacity of existing rocket fairings, it is impossible to build large spacecraft through a single launch and in-orbit deployment. Therefore, modular design and manufacturing, through multiple launches and assembly in orbit, has become an effective solution for building large spacecraft.

[0003] The on-orbit assembly of large spacecraft mainly relies on the extravehicular activities of astronauts, but due to the high vacuum, microgravity, strong radiation, huge temperature difference and other unfavorable factors in the space environment, it poses a serious threat to the safety of astronauts. Therefore, space robots are regarded as the best choice to replace astronauts in performing on-orbit assembly tasks.

[0004] As the complexity of on-orbit assembly tasks for large spacecraft continues to increase, the performance requirements for space robots are also increasing. Traditional space robots are mainly single-arm robots, and their mechanical arms have the problem of a single configuration. In terms of workspace, operational flexibility, task adaptability and many other aspects, they have been unable to meet the increasingly complex on-orbit assembly tasks for large spacecraft.

[0039] The following describes the use of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0040] During the robot's on-orbit mission, in order to achieve reliable attachment and fixation between the robot and the spacecraft, after the robot reaches the designated working position, the electromagnetic chuck swing attitude adjustment driver 24 is first started, which will drive the combination of the transfer link 25, the electromagnetic chuck controller 23 and the electromagnetic chuck 22 to swing until the electromagnetic chuck 22 moves from the side of the robot to the bottom of the robot, and then the electromagnetic chuck controller 23 is started to make the electromagnetic chuck 22 generate magnetic attraction, and the electromagnetic chuck 22 is adsorbed and fixed to the surface of the spacecraft through the magnetic attraction. The magnitude of the magnetic attraction can be adjusted on-orbit by the electromagnetic chuck controller 23. When the robot needs to detach from the surface of the spacecraft, the electromagnetic chuck controller 23 is turned off, and the magnetic attraction of the electromagnetic chuck 22 disappears. At this time, the robot can be moved to the next working position.

[0041] When the robot is in the designated working position, according to the working needs, the posture adjustment of the manipulator arm III is first realized by starting the three-degree-of-freedom shoulder joint, elbow joint and three-degree-of-freedom wrist joint, until the quick-change joint 12 at the head end of the manipulator arm is docked with the tool-end quick-change joint 3 of the selected end tool 2. The docking process is assisted by the 3D visual camera 14 at the head end of the manipulator arm. When the docking is completed, the posture of the manipulator arm III is adjusted again, and the manipulator arm III carries the selected end tool 2 to perform the on-track assembly task. When the end tool 2 needs to be replaced, the posture of the manipulator arm III is adjusted, the original end tool 2 is inserted back into the tool storage slot 1 where it is located, and then the quick-change joint 12 at the head end of the manipulator arm is separated from the tool-end quick-change joint 3 of the original end tool 2, and then the quick-change joint 12 at the head end of the manipulator arm is moved to the position of the target end tool 2, and the quick-change joint 12 at the head end of the manipulator arm is docked with the tool-end quick-change joint 3 of the target end tool 2. When the docking is completed, the posture of the manipulator arm III is adjusted again, and the manipulator arm III carries the target end tool 2 to continue to perform the on-track assembly task.

[0042] During the robot's on-orbit assembly mission, in order to complete specific mission requirements, the configuration of the manipulator III needs to be transformed to achieve the purpose of multi-arm collaborative operation.

[0043] When the location of the work point requires the cooperation of two end tools 2 to complete the task, first dock the quick-change joint 12 of the operating arm head end of the operating arm III at the rear of the robot with the quick-change joint 7 at the main body end on the side of the robot, then separate the quick-change joint 11 of the operating arm tail end of the operating arm III from the quick-change joint 7 at the main body end at the rear of the robot, and then move the quick-change joint 11 of the operating arm tail end of the operating arm III until it is docked with the quick-change joint 7 at the main body end in front of the robot, then separate the quick-change joint 12 of the operating arm head end of the operating arm III from the quick-change joint 7 at the main body end on the side of the robot, and move the quick-change joint 12 of the operating arm head end of the operating arm III to complete the picking of the end tool 2, and finally move the picked up end tool 2 to the front of the robot, so that it can cooperate with the original operating arm III in front of the robot to perform the task.

[0044] When the position of the working point exceeds the single-arm coverage range of the operating arm III, the operating arms III need to be combined in series. First, the quick-change joint 12 at the head end of the operating arm III at the rear of the robot is connected to the quick-change joint 7 at the main body end on the side of the robot, and then the quick-change joint 11 at the tail end of the operating arm of the operating arm III is separated from the quick-change joint 7 at the main body end at the rear of the robot. Then, the quick-change joint 11 at the tail end of the operating arm of the operating arm III is moved to the front of the robot, and the quick-change joint 11 at the tail end of the operating arm III is connected to the quick-change joint 12 at the head end of the operating arm of the original operating arm III in front of the robot. Then, the quick-change joint 12 at the head end of the operating arm III is separated from the quick-change joint 7 at the main body end on the side of the robot to realize the series combination of the two operating arms III. After that, the posture of the serial operating arm III is adjusted to complete the picking up of the end tool 2. Finally, the task of the working point can be completed by the serial operating arm III.

[0045] In addition, when the number of operating arms III connected in series is four, the coverage of the operating arm III can be adjusted to the maximum. In addition, when the number of operating arms III connected in series is two, and the number of serial operating arms III is also two, under the cooperative operation condition of the two serial operating arms III, the increase in the coverage of the operating arm III and the need for the two end tools 2 to cooperate to complete the task can be taken into account at the same time.

[0046] The solutions in the embodiments are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. All equivalent implementations or changes that do not deviate from the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
