[0065] The basic principle of the application is:

[0066] 1U cubic star launching process:

[0067] As shown in the figure, Figure 17 The telescopic shaft 411 is contracted by the driving part one 41, the release bin 6 is moved towards the storage device 1 through the connecting rod 412, the electric baffle 13 is contracted when the release bin 6 moves to a certain position, the elastic rod one 12 is elongated, the cubic star one 2 is pushed into the inside of the release bin 6 through the push plate 11, and the cubic star one 2 is extruded by the clamping block 61 during the process of entering the release bin 6, so that the clamping block 61 is contracted by compressing the elastic rod nine 611; after the cubic star one 2 enters the release bin 6, the clamping block 61 loses the limitation, the elastic rod nine 611 is elongated, the clamping block 61 limits the cubic star one 2 in the release bin 6, the electric baffle 13 is elongated to limit the clamping slot 21 of the cubic star two 3 (2U cubic star), so that the subsequent cubic star cannot enter the release bin 6;

[0068] As shown in the figure, Figure 18 The telescopic shaft 411 is elongated by the driving part one 41, the release bin 6 is moved in the opposite direction of the storage device 1, and the cubic star one 2 is ejected and released to a predetermined track by the ejection plate 51 of the ejection device 5 after the release bin 6 is restored;

[0069] 2U cubic star launching process:

[0070] As shown in Figure 19 , the driving part one 41 drives the release bin 6 to move towards the storage device 1, the push plate 11 pushes the cube star two 3 into the release bin 6, the telescopic plate 66 is elongated, the elastic rod eleven 661 is elongated, and then the clamping block 61 limits the cube star two 3 in the release bin 6; the electric baffle 13 limits the remaining satellites in the storage device 1;

[0071] As shown in Figure 20 , when the release bin 6 carrying the cube star two 3 moves in the opposite direction of the storage device 1, the telescopic plate 66 extrudes the push block three 46, the telescopic tube three 462 is elongated, the ejection device 5 moves to one side, and the elastic rod eight 54 is compressed; the ejection plate 51 of the ejection device 5 is retracted, the ejection device 5 is more elastic, and the release of the cube star two 3 is completed;

[0072] During the movement of the release bin 6, the limiting clamping groove 65 enters the limiting clamping rod 421 of the rotating rod 42;

[0073] During the movement of the release bin 6, the control column 436 of the control block 435 in the base 4 enters the control column sliding groove 663 of the telescopic plate 66, drives the control block 435 to move to one side, and compresses the elastic rod three 437; at this time, the fixed block one 443 is in the fixed groove one 432, the control rod 43 cannot move, and the elastic rod two 434 is elongated;

[0074] As shown in Figure 21 , when the control block 435 moves to the limit, the push block one 44 is compressed, the telescopic tube one 442 is elongated, the fixed block one 443 moves upward, the elastic rod four 444 is compressed, the fixed block one 443 loses the limitation of the fixed groove one 432, the control rod 43 moves to the direction of the control block 435 under the action of the elastic rod two 434, and when the control rod 43 moves to a certain degree, the fixed block two 455 will move downward into the fixed groove two 433 under the action of the elastic rod six 456, limiting the control rod 43, preventing the control rod 43 from recovering under the action of the elastic rod three 437;

[0075] With the movement of the control rod 43, the rack 431 drives the gear 422 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 42 to rotate, at this time the limiting clamping rod 421 combines with the limiting clamping groove 65, drives the release bin 6 to rotate, and the connecting rod 412 separates from the connecting groove 64;

[0076] As shown in Figure 22 , when the release bin 6 is turned over, the push block four 47 loses the limitation, the elastic rod seven 474 is elongated, the fixed block three 473 enters the limiting slot 56 of the limiting rod 55, limiting the ejection device 5, and increasing the stability of the ejection release process;

[0077] Due to the limitation of the ejection device 5, the length of the telescopic tube three 462 is fixed, and the push block three 46 cannot be restored. When the release bin 6 is turned over, the push block three 46 will enter the inside of the release bin 6 through the gap of the release bin 6, and will not interfere with the turning over of the release bin 6;

[0078] The release bin 6 stops rotating by ninety degrees, the extrusion block 48 of the base 4 extrudes the push block five 615, drives the telescopic tube five 613 to elongate, and thus drives the moving plate 612 to move to one side. The clamping block 61 loses the restriction of the cubic star two 3, and the ejection device 5 ejects and releases the cubic star two 3;

[0079] As shown in Figure 23 After the release of the cubic star two 3 is completed, the telescopic plate 66 is restored under the action of the elastic rod eleven 661. When the telescopic plate 66 moves upward, it will compress the push block two 45 on the inner wall of the base 4, drive the telescopic tube two 452 to elongate, and drive the moving block 453 to move upward, compress the elastic rod five 454. With the upward movement of the moving block 453, the fixed block two 455 and the elastic rod six 456 move upward. The fixed block 455 will extend from the fixed groove two 433, lose the restriction of the control rod 43, and the control rod 43 and the control block 435 will move to one side under the action of the elastic rod three 437. Through the rack 431, the gear 422 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction, and through the cooperation of the limiting clamping rod 421 and the limiting clamping groove 65, the release bin 6 is driven to turn over (restore) in the reverse direction.

[0080] When the release bin 6 turns over in the reverse direction, the connecting groove 64 of the release bin 6 recombines with the connecting rod 412;

[0081] When the release bin 6 turns over in the reverse direction, the release bin 6 will compress the push block four 47, drive the telescopic tube four 472 to elongate, and drive the fixed block three 473 to move upward. The fixed block three 473 loses the restriction of the limiting groove 56, the elastic device 5 is restored under the action of the elastic rod eight 54, the ejection device 5 moves to the initial position, and the push block three 46 is restored.

[0082] By repeating the above movement, the self-adaptive adjustment and release of different models (i.e. 1U and 2U cubic stars) can be completed, the use of electronic components is reduced, the failure rate is low, and the stability of the release is increased.
