DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solution of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 9 , describing the spacecraft center of mass unloading and attitude adaptation device provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, the spacecraft center of mass unloading and attitude adaptation device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a cross beam 100, a first vertical rod 310, a second vertical rod 320, a first Z-direction adjustment column 410, a second Z-direction adjustment column 420, a first X-direction adjustment seat 510, a second X-direction adjustment seat 520 and an adapter seat 700.
[0022] The crossbeam 100 is provided with a Y-axis adjustment hole 110, which is at least one strip hole. A Y-axis adjustment block 200 is installed on the crossbeam 100, which is provided with at least two round holes. The round holes of the Y-axis adjustment block 200 are aligned with the strip holes on the crossbeam 100 and adjusted to a suitable position, and then fixed by bolts. The Y-axis adjustment block 200 is provided with a suspension shaft 210, which is connected to the low-gravity system sling. The Y-axis adjustment block 200 is rotatably connected to the low-gravity system sling through the suspension shaft 210. When the forces at both ends of the crossbeam 100 are unequal, the suspension shaft 210 and the low-gravity system sling rotate relative to each other, causing the crossbeam 100 to tilt.
[0023] The upper end of the first vertical rod 310 is rotatably connected to the left end of the beam 100 via the first rotating shaft 313. The second vertical rod 320 is parallel to the first vertical rod 310, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the right end of the beam 100 via the second rotating shaft 321. The first rotating shaft 313 is parallel to the second rotating shaft 321, and both are arranged along the X direction. When the beam 100 tilts, the first rotating shaft 313 and the second rotating shaft 321 can ensure that the first vertical rod 310 and the second vertical rod 320 are always arranged vertically.
[0024] The first X-axis adjustment seat 510 and the second X-axis adjustment seat 520 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged, and respectively include a side plate 511 and a top plate 512. A circular hole is provided on the side plate 511, and the side plate 511 is bolted to the adapter seat 700. Specifically, the side plates on both sides of the adapter seat 700 are respectively provided with X-axis adjustment holes 710, and the X-axis adjustment hole 710 is at least one strip hole, and at least two circular holes are provided on the side plate 511. After the circular holes on the side plate 511 are aligned with the strip holes on the adapter seat 700 and adjusted to a suitable position, they are fixed by bolts.
[0025] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the top plate 512 is threadedly connected with the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420. Specifically, a rectangular hole 5121 is provided on the top plate 512, which is through in the Z direction. Screw holes are provided at opposite ends of the rectangular hole 5121 along the X direction. A fine adjustment assembly 600 is installed at the rectangular hole 5121. The fine adjustment assembly 600 includes a guide block 610, a first screw rod 620 and a second screw rod 630. The guide block 610 is arranged in the rectangular hole 5121. The guide block 610 is square. The opposite side walls of the guide block 610 are clearance-matched with the inner wall of the rectangular hole 5121, which plays a role of circumferential limit. The upper end of the guide block 610 has an upper stop edge, which is located at the upper end of the rectangular hole 5121, and the guide block 610 is clamped in the rectangular hole 5121. A threaded hole is provided in the center of the guide block 610 and penetrates along the Z direction. The inner wall of the threaded hole is respectively threadedly matched with the outer wall of the corresponding first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420. By rotating the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420, the effective length of the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420 in the Z direction can be adjusted.
[0026] The first screw rod 620 is inserted into one of the screw holes, and the end of the first screw rod 620 abuts against the side wall of the guide block 610; the second screw rod 630 is inserted into the other screw hole, and the end of the second screw rod 630 abuts against the side wall of the guide block 610. By screwing the first screw rod 620 and the second screw rod 630, the position of the guide block 610 in the rectangular hole 5121 can be adjusted along the length direction of the rectangular hole 5121, that is, the position of the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420 can be adjusted along the X direction.
[0027] In some specific embodiments, the fine adjustment assembly 600 also includes a locking nut 640 and a locking screw. Specifically, two locking nuts 640 are respectively provided on the first Z-axis adjustment column 410 and the second Z-axis adjustment column 420, one of the locking nuts 640 is located on the upper end surface of the guide block 610, and the other locking nut 640 is located on the lower end surface of the guide block 610. A radial opening is provided near one end of the locking nut 640. Specifically, the opening is provided at the end of the locking nut 640 away from the guide block 610, so that a thinner annular block is formed on one side of the opening, and a screw hole 641 along the Z direction is provided on the annular block, and a corresponding screw hole 641 along the Z direction is also provided on the locking nut 640 on the other side of the opening. By screwing the locking screw into the two coaxial screw holes 641, the internal thread on the inner side of the annular block can be axially pressed against the external thread of the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420 to achieve locking, thereby preventing the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420 from rotating accidentally.
[0028] The upper end of the first Z-axis adjustment column 410 is connected to the first vertical rod 310 through a ball joint structure 800, and the upper end of the second Z-axis adjustment column 420 is connected to the second vertical rod 320 through a ball joint structure 800. Specifically, the ball joint structure 800 includes a ball seat 810 and a ball head 820. The ball seat 810 is respectively arranged at the lower end of the first vertical rod 310 and the second vertical rod 320, and has a concave spherical surface. The ball head 820 is respectively arranged at the upper end of the first Z-axis adjustment column 410 and the second Z-axis adjustment column 420, and cooperates with the concave spherical surface of the ball seat 810 to form a revolute pair. In this way, when the crossbeam 100 is tilted, the ball seat 810 and the ball head 820 rotate relative to each other, thereby driving the adapter 700 to tilt synchronously to adapt to the attitude adjustment of the spacecraft.
[0029] Specifically, scales are respectively provided on the crossbeam 100 , the adapter 700 , the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 , and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420 , and the moving distance is measured by the scales during adjustment.
[0030] The theoretical value of the center of mass of the spacecraft is obtained through calculation. According to the theoretical coordinates of the center of mass of the spacecraft, the coordinates of the center of mass of the spacecraft under different postures are calculated, and then the relative displacement of the center of mass in the X, Y and Z directions during the process of the spacecraft changing from the initial posture to the target posture is calculated.
[0031] Based on the relative displacement of the center of mass in the X, Y, and Z directions, when the spacecraft is conducting a low-gravity test in a target attitude, the relative position of the crossbeam 100 and the Y-adjustment block 200 is adjusted to adapt to the continuous change of the center of mass of the spacecraft in the range of ±200mm in the Y direction. By screwing the first Z-adjustment column 410 and the second Z-adjustment column 420, the center of mass of the spacecraft is adapted to the continuous change of ±100mm in the Z direction. By adjusting the first X-adjustment seat 510 and the second X-adjustment seat 520, the center of mass of the spacecraft is adapted to the continuous change of ±200mm in the X direction. In this way, by adjusting in the X, Y, and Z directions to adapt to the spacecraft with the change of the center of mass position at different stages, the center of mass of the spacecraft is accurately unloaded, and on the basis of accurate unloading, the attitude changes of the spacecraft attitude inclination of ±60° and pitch of ±180° in the test can also be met.
[0032] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the first vertical rod 310 and the second vertical rod 320 have the same structure, respectively including an upper rod section 311, a lower rod section 312 and a pressure sensor 900, the lower end of the upper rod section 311 has an end plate 3111, the upper section of the lower rod section 312 is a hollow section, the end plate 3111 and the inner top wall of the hollow section abut against each other, the pressure sensor 900 is arranged between the end plate 3111 and the inner top wall of the lower rod section 312, and is used to measure the pressure between the end plate 3111 and the inner top wall of the lower rod section 312. Since the upper rod section 311 and the lower rod section 312 are always in a tensioned state during the test, the pressure between the end plate 3111 and the inner top wall of the lower rod section 312 measured by the pressure sensor 900 is the tension of the first vertical rod 310 and the second vertical rod 320.
[0033] The theoretical value of the center of mass of the spacecraft has a certain error. After the device of the present application is adjusted in the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction respectively based on the theoretical value of the center of mass, there may still be a situation where the center of mass and the unloading device are offset, resulting in a deviation between the actual attitude of the spacecraft and the target attitude. By setting a pressure sensor 900 between the end plate 3111 and the inner top wall of the lower rod section 312, the actual tension of the first vertical rod 310 and the second vertical rod 320 can be measured respectively; then based on the gravity of the spacecraft and the inclination angle of the crossbeam 100 under the target attitude, the theoretical tension of the first vertical rod 310 and the second vertical rod 320 under the target attitude is calculated, and the actual tension is compared with the theoretical tension, so as to calibrate the scales on the crossbeam 100, the adapter 700, the first Z-direction adjustment column 410, and the second Z-direction adjustment column 420, so as to ensure that the spacecraft center of mass unloading and attitude adaptation device of the present application can accurately unload the center of mass of the spacecraft.
[0034] Reference Figure 6-9As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for spacecraft mass center unloading and attitude adaptation, using the spacecraft mass center unloading and attitude adaptation device in the above embodiment, the method includes: According to the coordinates of the center of mass at the initial attitude of the spacecraft and the coordinates of the center of mass at the target attitude of the spacecraft, the relative displacements of the center of mass in the X, Y, and Z directions during the process of the spacecraft changing from the initial attitude to the target attitude are obtained; for example, the initial attitude is the attitude where the spacecraft does not roll or pitch ( Figure 6 , Figure 8 The target attitude is that the spacecraft is tilted 30° to the left and tilted 30° forward (as shown in Figure 7 , Fig. 9 as shown).
[0035] According to the relative displacement of the center of mass in the X direction, the relative positions of the first X-direction adjustment seat 510, the second X-direction adjustment seat 520 and the adapter seat 700 are adjusted; According to the relative displacement of the center of mass in the Y direction, the position where the cross beam 100 is connected to the sling of the low gravity system is adjusted; According to the relative displacement of the center of mass in the Z direction, the relative position of the first Z-direction adjustment column 410 and the first X-direction adjustment seat 510 and the relative position of the second Z-direction adjustment column 420 and the second X-direction adjustment seat 520 are adjusted.
[0036] After the adjustment is completed, the spacecraft is connected to the interface of the adapter 700. Under the hoisting of the low-gravity system, the spacecraft presents a target posture of 30° to the left and 30° forward. In addition, the axis of the suspension shaft 210 of the Y-axis adjustment block 200 is the suspension point, and the center of mass of the spacecraft coincides with the Z-axis extension line passing through the suspension point and the connecting line between the center of the first Z-axis adjustment column 410 and the center of the second Z-axis adjustment column 420. In this way, while achieving precise unloading of the center of mass of the spacecraft, it can adapt to the changes in the attitude of the spacecraft and can be applied to various spacecraft weight unloading scenarios with variable motion attitudes.
