[0021] The following will further describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment 1: The present invention aims to provide a satellite common base device, as shown in Figure 1 , 2 , 9, which can be installed on the truss of the space station, capture the target satellite by using the large robotic arm on the space station, and then fix it on the base for easy operation. When the target satellite enters the working space of the device, the device can adjust itself to adapt to satellites in various postures, perform rapid fixing, locking and releasing, and has good self-adaptability. At the same time, the device can adapt to satellites of different sizes and shapes and has good versatility. In addition, the device can fix multiple satellites at the same time and adjust the vertical height and horizontal distance between two satellites, improving the efficiency and reliability of on-orbit satellite maintenance and reducing the operation difficulty.

[0023] Specifically, a satellite common base device includes a satellite fixing and releasing device and a multi-degree-of-freedom bending and telescopic attitude control device, and further includes a height fine-tuning frame 1 and a rotating platform 2. The upper end surface of the height fine-tuning frame 1 is provided with a rotating platform 2, and the support legs of the height fine-tuning frame 1 are provided with up and down telescopic devices. A parallel folding and telescopic device 26 is arranged on the rotating platform 2, and a satellite fixing and releasing device is arranged on the parallel folding and telescopic device 26.

[0024] The parallel folding and telescoping device 26 and the satellite fixing and releasing device are used to capture and fix the target satellite at the upper end. The attitude is adjusted by the parallel folding and telescoping device 26 so that the satellite fixing and releasing device is aligned with the grasping position of the satellite. After the grasping is completed, the parallel folding and telescoping device 26 can be folded and retracted in parallel and positioned on the height fine adjustment frame 1. Then, the rotation platform 2 adjusts the rotation orientation of the whole upper part. Specifically, the rotation platform 2 drives the parallel folding and telescoping device 26, the fixing and releasing device and the satellite to rotate by a certain angle to adjust the attitude of the satellite. Then, the up-and-down telescoping motor 3 in the up-and-down telescoping device drives the lead screw to rotate, and the nut is fixedly arranged. Therefore, the rotation of the lead screw drives the height telescoping leg 4 to realize linear up-and-down movement, so as to adjust the height of the two satellites. Specifically, by way of example, the height fine adjustment frame 1 has an upper plane. The middle part of the upper plane is provided with a rotation platform 2. Below the four corners of the upper plane are height telescoping legs 4. Up-and-down telescoping motors 3 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the upper plane to drive the lead screw to rotate, so as to change the length of the height telescoping leg 4.

[0025] In order to improve the maintenance efficiency of the satellite, the present application is designed to fix multiple satellites simultaneously. Specifically, at least two height fine adjustment frames 1 are provided, and the distance between the two height fine adjustment frames 1 is controlled by a horizontal telescoping device 5, such as Figure 1 、 2 、9 shown. In the figure, two height fine adjustment frames 1 are exemplarily provided, and the distance is adjusted by the horizontal telescoping device 5, so as to adapt to the operations between satellites of different sizes. The horizontal telescoping motor 6 in the horizontal telescoping device 5 drives the horizontal lead screw 7 to rotate, and the horizontal nut drives the horizontal telescoping leg 8 to realize linear movement in the horizontal direction, so that the distance between the two satellites can be adjusted. It is convenient to check, maintain, etc. two satellites at the same time, greatly improving the work efficiency.

[0026] The motor drive, lead screw-nut transmission, telescoping leg movement, etc. of the up-and-down telescoping device and the horizontal telescoping device 5 are used to adjust the vertical height and horizontal distance of the satellite. The connection mode and cooperative mechanism between the devices ensure the efficient and stable fixation, locking, release and attitude adjustment of the satellite.

[0027] Embodiment 2: A satellite fixing and releasing device includes a frame base body 9 for capturing the satellite. The middle part of the frame base body 9 is vacant to form a receiving cavity 10 for the end of the satellite to enter. An opening for the satellite to enter the receiving cavity 10 is formed on the side of the frame base body 9 facing the target satellite. A circumferential fixing mechanism for grasping and positioning the satellite is arranged around the opening. The circumferential fixing mechanism has a plurality of locking mechanisms 11 that are based on the frame base body 9 and are controlled to move radially. The plurality of locking mechanisms 11 cooperate to simultaneously apply a force pointing to the satellite to form a resultant force for clamping and fixing.

[0028] Specifically, asFigure 3 , 4 As shown in , 7, the frame base 9 includes a cylindrical frame in a cylindrical shape, and the locking mechanism 11 includes a rack slide 12 fixedly arranged on the frame base 9 along the radial direction. A sliding rack 13 is slidably arranged in the rack slide 12. The cross-sectional shape of the cylindrical frame is circular, and the setting direction of the rack slide 12 can be radially set, so the moving direction of the sliding rack 13 is restricted by the rack slide 12 and moves toward the center of the circle.

[0029] Furthermore, the circumferential fixing mechanism is provided with a synchronous driving part for keeping the multiple locking mechanisms 11 in synchronous radial movement, and a power driving part for driving the synchronous driving part to operate.

[0030] As an embodiment, the synchronous drive unit includes an inner gear ring 14 rotatably arranged in a cylindrical frame, the rotation of the inner gear ring 14 is controlled by the power drive unit to rotate, and a sliding gear 15 is meshedly arranged on the inner side of the inner gear ring 14, and the number of the sliding gears 15 corresponds to the locking mechanism 11; the rack of the sliding rack 13 is arranged on the side, and the sliding gear 15 has a certain thickness, so that it can mesh with the inner gear ring 14 and the sliding rack 13 at the same time, and then when the inner gear ring 14 rotates, the transmission of the sliding gear 15 causes the bad rack to move linearly. It can be understood that Figure 3 In the exemplary embodiment, six sets of locking mechanisms 11 are provided. When the sliding racks 13 of the six sets of locking mechanisms 11 are simultaneously engaged with the inner gear ring 14 and the sliding racks 13, the effect of synchronously driving all the locking mechanisms 11 can be achieved.

[0031] Furthermore, the power drive unit that drives the synchronous drive unit to operate may include a locking electric push rod 16 that is arranged on the frame base 9 and is located at the end of the rack slide 12 away from the center; it pushes the sliding rack 13 in the locking mechanism 11 to move linearly along the rack slide 12, and the locking electric push rod 16 pushes the rack in the locking mechanism 11 to move linearly along the rack slide 12, and then drives the inner gear ring 14 to rotate through the sliding rack 13; then the operation of the inner gear ring 14 drives other locking mechanisms 11 to move synchronously.

[0032] Furthermore, the circumferential fixing mechanism further includes a clutch control unit 17 corresponding to each locking mechanism 11, and the clutch control unit 17 controls the corresponding locking mechanism 11 to engage or disengage the synchronous drive unit, and is used to control the number of locking mechanisms 11 driven simultaneously (e.g. Figure 7 ) or the sequence of actions of the locking mechanism 11.

[0033] Specifically, for example, in the synchronous drive mode in which the inner gear ring 14 is provided, the clutch control unit 17 includes a sliding guide shaft 18, a gear electric push rod 19, and a mobile platform 20. The sliding guide shaft 18 is a guide rod axially slidingly provided along the cylindrical frame. A mobile platform 20 is provided on the top of the sliding guide shaft 18, and a sliding gear 15 is provided on the platform. The gear electric push rod 19 is provided on one side of the sliding guide shaft 18, and its driving end is connected to the bottom of the mobile platform 20. In actual use, according to different satellite shapes such as cylinders and cuboids, the gear electric push rod 19 in the sliding gear 15 mechanism can push the mobile platform 20 to move downward, thereby driving the sliding gear 15 to make upward and downward linear motions along the sliding guide shaft 18, so that the sliding gear 15 and the rack can be controllably disengaged or meshed, thereby adjusting the number of locking mechanisms 11 moving simultaneously.

[0034] Furthermore, the rack drive unit is provided with an end gripper 21 at one end facing the center, an elastic member 22 providing elastic gripping force is provided inside the end gripper, and a pressure sensor 23 is provided at the end of the end gripper contacting the satellite surface. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the end clamp is an X-shaped hinged clamping jaw, an elastic member 22 is arranged in the opening of the clamping jaw, and a spring can be selected to be used, and a pressure sensor 23 is arranged at the end of the clamping jaw.

[0035] Taking a cylindrical satellite as an example, the six locking mechanisms 11 are simultaneously moved toward the center of the circle through the transmission of the sliding gear 15 and the inner gear ring 14. At this time, the two sides of the end gripper 21 are stretched open, but the outer wall of the satellite can be pressed under the tension of the spring, and the pressure sensor 23 inside the end gripper 21 senses the pressure in real time, which can fix and lock the satellite while effectively reducing damage to the outer wall of the satellite and the base body.

[0036] For example, Figure 1 , 2 As shown, when two sets of height fine-tuning frames 1 and satellite fixing and releasing devices are set, each power driving part can be set on the side where the two satellite fixing and releasing devices are away from each other, so as to avoid mutual interference between the two sets of devices when they are deformed in spatial position.

[0037] Furthermore, the frame base 9 is provided with an outer camera 24 for detecting the attitude of the target satellite, and an inner camera 25 for identifying the shape of the target satellite is provided on the end face facing the target satellite; a plurality of outer cameras 24 are distributed on the circumferential outer wall of the cylindrical frame, and a plurality of inner cameras 25 are circumferentially provided on the upper end face of the cylindrical frame.

[0038] The coordinated operation of components such as the locking mechanism 11, sliding gear 15 mechanism, rack slide rail 12, inner camera 25, and outer camera 24 of the fixed release device realizes the rapid fixation, locking, and release of satellites with different sizes and shapes.

[0039] Embodiment 3: A multi-degree-of-freedom bending and telescopic attitude control device includes a parallel folding and telescopic device 26 provided at the bottom of the satellite fixed release device. The parallel folding and telescopic device 26 includes a plurality of universal hinge units connected end to end, enabling the parallel folding and telescopic device 26 to have a large folding ratio telescopic adjustment ability and a universal large-angle bending function. The three-unit structure of the parallel folding and telescopic device 26 and the connection relationship and movement mode of each branch chain realize parallel folding and telescoping as well as large-angle bending, adapting to satellite attitude differences, such as Figure 5 、 6 、as shown in Figure 9.

[0040] Specifically, the universal hinge unit includes an annular substrate 27. A plurality of telescopic arm units 28 are circumferentially provided on the end face of the annular substrate 27. The telescopic arm unit 28 includes a control servo 29, a lower link 30, a middle universal hinge 31, an upper link 32, and a top universal hinge 33 connected in sequence. The control servo 29 is based on the annular substrate 27 of this unit, and the top universal hinge 33 is connected to the annular substrate 27 of the next unit. One end of the upper link 32 is provided with an F-head, and the other end is connected to the top universal hinge 33. A cross universal joint is arranged in the F-head. One end of the lower link 30 is connected to the cross universal joint, and the other end is connected to the output end of the control servo 29.

[0041] Exemplarily, as Figure 5 、 8 shown, three universal hinge units can be set as the first unit 34, the second unit 35, and the third unit 36 from bottom to top. Specifically, when the large manipulator on the space station grips the target satellite and reaches the working space of the satellite common base device, the manipulator remains stationary. The outer camera 24 mounted on the outer wall of the fixed release device detects the attitude of the target satellite, and the attitude of the base is adjusted through the parallel folding and telescopic device 26 and the rotating platform 2 to adapt to the satellite. At this time, the servos in the first unit 34 and the second unit 35 of the parallel folding and telescopic device 26 rotate different angles. Through the transmission between the lower link 30, the middle universal hinge 31, the upper link 32, and the top universal hinge 33, the first unit 34 and the second unit 35 extend and bend to one side, and cooperate with the rotating platform 2 to rotate a certain angle, so that the whole base approaches the target satellite. Then, the third unit 36 in the parallel folding and telescopic device 26 slowly adjusts its own attitude according to the inner camera 25 mounted on the top of the fixed release device, so that the bottom of the satellite enters the fixed release device.

[0042] The three units set in this embodiment each have three branches and a total of five degrees of freedom, capable of realizing parallel folding and telescoping as well as large-angle bending. During parallel folding and telescoping, all servos rotate by the same angle to achieve telescoping motion with a large folding ratio. During large-angle bending, the rotation angles of the servos are different to achieve large-angle bending of the device and adapt to the attitude differences of satellites.

[0043] In this embodiment, components such as the locking mechanism 11, the sliding gear 15 mechanism, and the rack slide rail 12 are adopted. The locking electric push rod 16 is used to push the rack to move linearly along the slide rail to achieve rapid fixation and release of the satellite. The end gripper 21 is made of a material with a relatively large elastic modulus, with a flexible material covering its surface and a pressure sensor 23 installed inside. It can effectively reduce the buffering force when fixing the satellite and avoid damage to the satellite body or the device. The sliding gear 15 mechanism pushes the moving platform 20 up and down through the electric push rod to enable the movement of different numbers of locking mechanisms 11 to adapt to satellites of different sizes and shapes.

[0044] When the operation on the satellite is completed, the outer camera 24 mounted on the outer wall of the fixing and releasing device identifies the position of the space station robotic arm. Through the coordinated cooperation of the parallel folding and telescoping device 26, the rotating platform 2, the up and down telescoping device, and the horizontal telescoping device 5, the target satellite is brought closer to the robotic arm to facilitate the successful capture of the satellite by the robotic arm. Then, the locking electric push rod 16 of the fixing and releasing device pushes the rack in the locking mechanism 11 to move linearly outward along the rack slide rail 12. Through the transmission of the sliding gear 15 and the internal gear ring 14, multiple locking mechanisms 11 can move simultaneously until the end gripper 21 separates from the outer wall of the satellite to achieve rapid release of the satellite. Finally, each part in the satellite common base device returns to its initial working state.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can still be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
