[0002] There are abandoned satellite debris and other metal fragments that have not been completely burned in space. These space debris pose a great threat to satellites, rockets, and space stations. With the development and progress of aviation technology, humans have begun to clean up debris through active capture and removal, which is carried out by ground-controlled spacecraft. These tasks require the use of space capture manipulators. For large-volume space debris, space capture mechanisms with a larger envelope are needed to capture them.

[0003] Most of the existing space capture mechanisms are articulated manipulators, which have limited unfolding volume. For large targets, larger manipulators are needed, which have large mass, occupy more space, and often have multiple degrees of freedom, requiring more drives and complex control schemes for grasping.

[0018] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment shown provides a scissor-type telescopic arm envelope-type space target capture device, comprising: A group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are arranged around, and the scissor-type telescopic arms 1 include a group of scissor-type frames 10 connected in sequence from the proximal end to the distal end, and the scissor-type frames 10 include a pair of connecting rods 11 hinged in an X shape, and the two pairs of connecting rods 11 corresponding to the adjacent pair of scissor-type frames 10 are respectively hinged at the ends to realize telescopic linkage, Figure 6As shown, the four connecting end points of a pair of connecting rods 11 of a plurality of scissor-type frames 10 that are hinged in an X shape form a quadrilateral A, and the length of a side a of the quadrilateral A around the center facing the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 is smaller than the length of the opposite side b, so that when the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 is in an extended state, the whole extends in an arc shape and the far end tends to be retracted around the center toward the scissor-type telescopic arm 1; A driving component is used to drive the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 to switch between the extended and contracted states. After the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 is switched to the extended state, a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 extending in an arc shape form an envelope cavity with the far ends retracted for capturing space targets. When the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 is in the contracted state, it contracts at the proximal end.

[0019] Based on the above structure, the principle of a scissor-type telescopic arm envelope-type space target capture device in this embodiment is: in the reset state, a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are in a retracted state and retracted at the proximal end; when executing the capture of the space target, the driving component drives the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 to switch to the extended state, so that the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 is extended to an arc and the space target is confined in the envelope cavity to complete the capture of the space target. In this embodiment, on the one hand, the traditional scissor-type telescopic arm has the characteristic of a large extension and contraction ratio. On the other hand, unlike the traditional linear telescopic scissor-type telescopic arm, the four connecting ends of the connecting rod hinged in an X shape form a rectangle. In this embodiment, the length of the side of the quadrilateral A formed by the four connecting ends of the connecting rod 11 hinged in an X shape toward the scissor-type telescopic arm around the center is smaller than the length of the opposite side, so that the scissor-type telescopic arm extends in an arc when extended, and can form an effective envelope space to capture the space target. Therefore, a scissor-type telescopic arm envelope-type space target capture device in this embodiment is suitable for capturing large space targets.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a connecting rod driving device, which is transmission-connected to the connecting rod 11 of the proximal scissor-type frame 10, and the connecting rod driving device is used to drive a pair of connecting rods 11 to rotate relative to each other around the hinge point to realize the telescopic switching of the scissor-type telescopic arm 1.

[0021] In other embodiments, the driving device of a conventional scissor-type telescopic arm may be used as a reference. The connecting rod driving device in the conventional scissor-type telescopic arm driving device adopts a slider to be hinged to one of the connecting rods 11 at the proximal end, and the other connecting rod 11 at the proximal end is rotatably mounted on the seat body. By moving the slider, a pair of connecting rods 11 are allowed to rotate relative to each other around the hinge point to realize the telescopic switching of the scissor-type telescopic arm 1.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving assembly includes an opening and closing driving module, and the opening and closing driving module is used to drive a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 to move in an overall retracting or opening direction to form or open the envelope cavity.

[0023] In the initial state, a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are in an open state. When executing capture, the scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are switched to an extended state, and the opening and closing driving module controls a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 to move in the direction of retraction to form an envelope cavity to capture the spatial target. The opening and closing driving module is used to drive a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 to move in the direction of retraction or opening, which can be movement or rotation. The principle of movement as the form of activity is that the proximal end of the scissor-type telescopic arms 1 is set on a moving seat, and the moving trajectory of the moving seat points to the center of a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1. After the scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are extended, a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are synchronously moved to retract toward the center of retraction to form an envelope cavity. A group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are synchronously moved away from the center of retraction to open the envelope cavity.

[0024] In other embodiments, since the scissors-type telescopic arm 1 extends in an arc shape as a whole when in the extended state, by controlling the structural dimensions of each connecting rod 11 in the scissors-type telescopic arm 1 and the positional relationship of each scissors-type telescopic arm 1, it is possible to form an envelope cavity to grasp the space target when the scissors-type telescopic arm 1 is extended, without the need to set up an opening and closing drive module, and the use of an opening and closing drive module is more versatile in capturing space targets.

The swing frame driving devices 22 are used to drive the pair of swing frames 21 to rotate around the axis core to drive the pair of connecting rods 11 to rotate relative to each other around the hinge point; A pair of swing frames 21 are driven to rotate synchronously and in the same direction by a pair of swing frame driving devices 22 to drive the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 to rotate around the rotating axis as a whole, so as to realize the movement of the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 in the direction of overall folding or opening. That is, in this embodiment, the opening and closing drive module is integrated into the connecting rod driving device. The scissor-type telescopic arm 1 is driven to move in the form of driving a group of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 to rotate in the direction of overall folding or opening. Compared with other embodiments in which a rotating seat independent of the connecting rod driving device is provided to drive the scissor-type telescopic arm 1 to rotate, this embodiment has the advantages of simple structure and low manufacturing cost. In this embodiment, the swing frame driving device 22 is a motor.

[0026] In this embodiment, a gear plate 31 corresponding to the swing assembly is further included, the gear plate 31 is fixedly arranged, the rotating shaft core of the swing frame 21 is coaxial with the gear plate 31, and a guide gear 211 is rotatably arranged on the swing frame 21, and the guide gear 211 is meshed with the outer edge of the gear plate 31. The gear plate 31 can improve the stability of the rotation of the swing frame 21 by meshing with the guide gear 211.

[0027] In this embodiment, the swing frame 21 includes a rod body 210, one end of the rod body 210 is rotatably arranged and the rotation center is coaxial with the gear plate 31, and the other end of the rod body 210 is coaxially pivoted with the guide gear 211 and the connecting rod 11. It has the advantage of simple structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the scissor-type frame 10 includes two pairs of connecting rods 11 that are arranged laterally and hinged in an X shape, and the two pairs of connecting rods 11 are connected laterally by cross bars so that the two pairs of connecting rods 11 can move synchronously, and the proximal ends of the two pairs of connecting rods of the proximal scissor-type frame 10 are respectively connected with two pairs of proximal cross bars, and the end of the rod body 210 away from the gear plate 31 is hinged on the proximal cross bar, and the guide gear 211 is installed on the proximal cross bar to form a rotational connection relationship between the rod body 210 and the guide gear 211.

[0028] In this embodiment, the scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are arranged in pairs, and the paired scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are symmetrically arranged around the center. The paired scissor-type telescopic arms 1 support each other when grabbing a target, thereby improving the effectiveness of the capture.

[0029] In this embodiment, two pairs of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are provided. In other embodiments, the number of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 can be an odd number greater than 1, such as 3, 5, 7, etc.

[0030] In this embodiment, a pair of linkage devices 23 are provided between a pair of swing components corresponding to the paired scissor-type telescopic arms 1, and the linkage devices 23 are used to drive and connect the swing frames 21 on both sides to achieve synchronous linkage of the swing components on both sides. This ensures the synchronization and stability of the scissor-type telescopic arms 1 in the capture process, and because the swing frames 21 on both sides are synchronously linked, a pair of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 only needs a pair of swing frame driving devices 22 to drive, which can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0031] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the linkage device 23 includes a pair of transmission shafts 231 respectively connected to the swing frames 21 on both sides in the same direction, and the linkage device 23 also includes a reversing shaft 232, which is connected to one of the transmission shafts 231 through a pair of gears, and the reversing shaft 232 and the other transmission shaft 231 are each provided with a transmission wheel (not shown), and the pair of transmission wheels are meshed and transmitted through a belt or chain transmission element. The reversing shaft 232 causes the pair of transmission shafts 231 to rotate in opposite directions, so as to achieve synchronous linkage of the swing components on both sides.

[0032] In this embodiment, the transmission wheel is a synchronous pulley, a pair of synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt transmission, and the synchronous belts between the two pairs of scissor-type telescopic arms 1 are cross-crossed. In order to prevent interference of the synchronous belts, the radial dimensions of the two sets of synchronous pulleys corresponding to the mutually crossed synchronous belts are different. In other embodiments, the transmission wheel can be a sprocket, and a pair of sprockets are connected by a transmission chain.

[0033] In this embodiment, a seat body 3 is also included, which is located at the proximal end of the scissor-type telescopic arm 1. The scissor-type telescopic arm 1 and the drive assembly are integrally arranged on the seat body 3, and the seat body 3 is installed on the spacecraft. Therefore, an integrated module is formed, which is convenient for overall disassembly and assembly.
