Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aerospace technology experiments, and in particular relates to a suspended gravity unloading test device with adjustable boundary conditions. Background Art

[0002] During space missions, space mechanisms (such as solar panels, robotic arms, and deployable antennas) must perform complex movements (deployment, retraction, rotation, docking, etc.) with high precision and reliability in a microgravity environment. To ensure their stable operation on orbit, ground-based testing is essential to obtain accurate dynamic parameters, verify mechanism performance, and provide a data basis for on-orbit control strategies. However, the ground gravity environment significantly alters the mechanism's dynamic characteristics (such as mass distribution, inertial response, joint friction, and structural deformation), resulting in systematic deviations between key parameters such as hinge torque and friction effects and actual space conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop ground-based test equipment that can accurately simulate the microgravity environment in space and possess high dynamic response characteristics (to reproduce the transient loads in complex movements) to truly verify mechanism design, control algorithms, and system reliability.

[0003] While current mainstream microgravity simulation devices (such as suspended counterweights and air-bearing platforms) can partially compensate for gravity, their test results are often highly dependent on artificially imposed boundary conditions (such as suspension point constraints, guide mechanism friction, and air-bearing platform disturbances). These ground-imposed boundary conditions differ significantly from the free / flexible boundaries in space, resulting in the "microgravity environment" parameters acquired on the ground failing to truly reflect on-orbit conditions. Therefore, in ground-based microgravity testing, accurately analyzing and quantifying the impact of boundary conditions on test results (especially target dynamic parameters) is crucial. This not only provides a direct basis for optimizing microgravity simulation devices (such as suspension system configuration and compensation force control strategies), but also is key to ensuring that ground-based test data accurately reflects the on-orbit performance of space mechanisms and provides reliable support for stable control. This patent aims to facilitate the analysis of the impact of boundary conditions in ground-based microgravity testing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a suspended gravity unloading test device with adjustable boundary conditions, so as to facilitate the analysis of the influence of boundary conditions in ground tests of space mechanisms.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows: A suspended gravity unloading test device with adjustable boundary conditions, characterized in that it comprises a support frame, a slideway, and a ventilation slide rail component, wherein the slideway is fixedly mounted on the support frame, the ventilation slide rail component is slidably connected to the slideway, a position adjustment member is provided between the ventilation slide rail component and the slideway, the ventilation slide rail moves along the slideway via the position adjustment member, and the ventilation slide rail is positioned relative to the support frame via a positioning member; A mounting plate is provided on one side of the support frame, the mounting plate is arranged parallel to the ventilation slide rail component, and a root fixing piece is provided on the mounting plate for fixing the root of the detection piece; An air-floating slider is provided on the ventilation slide rail component, and the air-floating slider is slidably connected to the ventilation slide rail component. A suspension rope is connected to the air-floating slider, and a basket bolt for adjusting the suspension force is provided on the upper part of the suspension rope, and a spring for controlling the suspension stiffness is provided in the middle part of the suspension rope. A tension sensor is provided at the lower part of the suspension rope, and the end of the suspension rope is fixedly connected to the middle part of the length direction of the detection part; the tension sensor is electrically connected to the control center display, and is used to adjust the suspension unloading force through the basket bolt and the sensor, and can monitor data in real time.

[0006] Furthermore, the support frame is formed by a combination of multiple grooved support members, the first support frame and the second support frame are arranged parallel to the upper surface of the support frame and on the same horizontal plane, the slides are respectively arranged on the first support frame and the second support frame, and the two sides of the ventilation slide rail component are slidably connected to the slides through position adjustment members. The shape of the support frame is not limited to a rectangle. Such an arrangement can ensure that the support frame is large enough.

[0007] Furthermore, the ventilation slide component is a hollow triangular prism with an air inlet on one side and a completely closed side on the other side. A row of equally spaced air outlets are provided in the middle of the two side surfaces of the ventilation slide component. After the ventilation slide component is ventilated, the air-floating slider can slide along the ventilation slide component without contact by swinging the detection part; compressed air enters from the air inlet and is discharged from the air outlet to form an air film so that the air-floating slider can slide along the ventilation slide component without contact, thereby reducing the influence of friction on the detection data.

[0008] The adjusting screw is fixedly mounted on the adjusting screw and the adjusting screw is installed in the adjusting screw position, and the adjusting screw is installed in the adjusting screw position, and the adjusting screw is installed in the adjusting screw position.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower side of the air-floating slider is composed of two rectangular inclined planes with side surfaces forming a V-shape, and the angle of the V-shape is less than 0.5° from the angle of the two side surfaces of the ventilation slide rail component; the upper surface of the air-floating slider is a rectangular plane and is arranged horizontally, the long side of the rectangular plane is parallel to the sliding direction of the air-floating slider, and the short side of the rectangular plane is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the air-floating slider, and the long sides of the rectangular plane are provided with lifting ears, and the lifting ears are connected to the suspension rope; the short sides of the rectangular plane are provided with outwardly protruding semicircular bosses, and the semicircular bosses are provided with threaded holes, and the threaded holes are provided with damping adjustment bolts; a counterweight fixing stud is provided in the center of the rectangular plane, and the counterweight fixing stud is fixedly connected to the counterweight plate with a nut, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the counterweight plate corresponding to the counterweight fixing stud arranged on the rectangular plane. By adjusting the damping adjustment bolt, the contact force of the ventilation slide rail component is changed, thereby changing the Coulomb damping between the air-floating slider component and the ventilation slide rail component. By adjusting the number of counterweights fixedly connected by the fixing studs and nuts, the mass of the air-floating slider component can be adjusted, and the lifting ears on both sides provide connection points for the suspension rope, so that the force on the air-floating slider can be balanced through the connection on both sides.

[0010] Furthermore, a semicircular soft rubber head is provided at the tail of the damping adjustment bolt. By providing the soft rubber head, the hard collision between the adjustment bolt and the contact parts is reduced, which makes it easier to smoothly adjust the Coulomb damping.

[0011] Furthermore, the root fixing device is a root clamp composed of a clamp positioning clamp, a torsion spring and a connecting clamp, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the clamp positioning clamp, and the other end is connected to the connecting clamp; the clamp positioning clamp is a rectangular plate with a through hole, which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate by a fastening screw passing through the through hole on the clamp positioning clamp; the connecting clamp is provided with a through hole, and the root of the test piece is fixedly connected to the connecting clamp by a fastener, and a torsion spring is arranged between the clamp positioning plate and the connecting clamp. During the experiment, the root stiffness control torsion spring of different stiffness can be replaced to adjust the root torsional stiffness of the test piece.

[0012] Furthermore, the torsion spring is composed of two sections of left-handed and right-handed torsion springs, and the torsion springs at both ends are connected by a central U-shaped transition ring. The ends of the two torsion springs are straight arms, and one side of the straight arms at the ends of the two torsion springs is fixedly set on a connecting splint. The connecting splint is composed of two identical splints with holes to be passed through, and the other side is fixedly connected between the fixture positioning plate and the mounting plate. The fixture positioning plate and the mounting plate are fastened by tightening screws to fix the end of the torsion spring, and the root torsional stiffness of the detection part is controlled by replacing the torsion spring.

[0013] Furthermore, when active driving is required, the root fixing part is a root driving motor, and the detection part is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the root driving motor at the root, and swings as the output shaft rotates, so as to detect the unloading state of the spatial mechanism. The root active driving boundary condition influence analysis experiment. The root fixing part is selected according to the test requirements. For tests with root fixing requirements, the mounting plate should be used as the root boundary. At this time, the root clamp should be fixedly connected to the mounting plate fixed on the support frame. For tests with root driving requirements, the root driving motor should be used as the root boundary. At this time, the sample should be connected to the root driving motor fixed on the support frame. Furthermore, the system includes a laser displacement sensor, which is fixed to one side of the inspection object via a tripod. The data collected by the laser displacement sensor is transmitted to a computer. By irradiating the inspection object with laser light near its free end, the motion trajectory data of the inspection object can be detected and analyzed in real time, enabling real-time monitoring of the object's displacement under unloading force, such as elastic deformation, plastic deformation, or loosening.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the suspended gravity unloading test device with adjustable boundary conditions described in the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The rationality of the loading position and size of the unloading force directly determines the stability, accuracy and energy efficiency of the system. By setting the position adjustment slider of the adjustment position, the suspension unloading position can be adjusted quickly and conveniently. The core principle of unloading force loading is to dynamically match the center of gravity. The line of action of the unloading force must pass through or be close to the center of gravity of the unloaded object to avoid additional torque causing the object to tilt or rotate. This design can load the unloading force to the appropriate position according to the different parts being tested, and the suspension unloading force can be easily adjusted by adjusting the basket bolts. The stiffness of the suspension has a significant impact on the dynamic characteristics of the test part in the suspension unloading state. The appropriate size of spring can be selected according to the different test requirements to conveniently adjust the stiffness of the suspension to the appropriate range, thereby improving the efficiency of analyzing the influence of suspension stiffness on ground tests of space mechanisms.

[0015] 2. By setting the damping adjustment bolts and counterweights of the air-floating slider component, the sliding damping and inertia adjustment of the air-floating slider component can be conveniently and quickly adjusted, which facilitates the experimental analysis of the influence of the additional inertia and damping of the suspension boundary on the ground test of the space mechanism.

[0016] 3. By setting up the root clamp, the disassembly and assembly of the root stiffness control torsion spring can be facilitated. Replacing the root stiffness control torsion spring with different stiffness can adjust the root torsional stiffness of the test piece, thereby making it very convenient to adjust the root constraint stiffness of the test piece during the test.

The slide 13 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 1. The ventilation slide rail component 2 is slidably connected to the slide. A position adjustment member 31 is provided between the ventilation slide rail component and the slide. The ventilation slide rail moves along the slide rail via the position adjustment member and is positioned relative to the support frame via a positioning member.

A spring for controlling the suspension stiffness is provided in the middle part of the suspension rope. A tension sensor is provided at the lower part of the suspension rope. The core principle of unloading force loading is to dynamically match the center of gravity. The line of action of the unloading force must pass through or be close to the center of gravity of the unloaded object to avoid additional torque causing the object to tilt or rotate. The ventilation slide rail component is adjusted to the top of the unloading point of the detected part 4 through the position adjustment part, and the end of the suspension rope is fixedly connected to the middle unloading point of the detection part 4 in the length direction; the tension sensor is electrically connected to the control center display to display the value of the suspension unloading force, and the suspension unloading force is adjusted through the basket bolt and the sensor, and the data can be monitored in real time.

[0024] Specifically, the support frame 1 is formed by a combination of multiple grooved support members. The first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102 are arranged parallel to the upper surface of the support frame and in the same horizontal plane. The slide 13 is respectively arranged on the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102. The two sides of the ventilation slide rail component 2 are slidably connected to the slide 13 through position adjustment members 31. The shape of the support frame is not limited to a rectangle. Such an arrangement can ensure that the support frame is large enough.

[0025] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the ventilation slide member 2 is a hollow triangular prism with an air inlet 17 on one side and a completely closed side on the other side. A row of equally spaced air outlet holes 18 are provided in the middle of the two side surfaces of the ventilation slide member 2. After the ventilation slide member 2 is ventilated, the air-floating slider 3 can slide along the ventilation slide member without contact by swinging the detection part; compressed air is introduced from the air inlet hole and discharged from the air outlet hole to form an air film so that the air-floating slider can slide along the ventilation slide member without contact, thereby reducing the influence of friction on the detection data.

[0026] Specifically, the position adjustment member 31 includes a position adjustment slider 12 and a slide rail connecting plate 14. A roller 1201 is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the position adjustment slider 12. The roller 1201 slides relatively with the inner groove of the slide. The position adjustment slider 12 is also provided with a fastening adjustment member 1202 for adjusting the roller; a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the position adjustment slider 12, and the slide rail connecting plate 14 is provided with a countersunk hole corresponding to the position of the threaded hole on the position adjustment slider. The position adjustment slider 12 is fixedly connected to the slide rail connecting plate 14 by screws; the four corners of the slide rail connecting plate 14 are provided with slide rail positioning through holes 16; the lower surface of the ventilation slide rail component 2 Two slide rail positioning grooves 15 are provided, and the spacing between the two slide rail positioning grooves corresponds to the slide rail positioning through holes 16 on the four corners of the slide rail connecting plate 14. The ventilation slide rail component 2 is fixedly connected to the slide rail connecting plate 14 by screws passing through the four slide rail positioning through holes 16. The position adjustment part is arranged on the ventilation slide rail component to enable the ventilation slide rail component to move on the slide. The position of the ventilation slide rail component can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the experiment. The cooperation between the roller on the adjustment slider and the fastening adjustment part is similar to the caster under the table and chair. After moving to a certain position, it can be immobilized by pressing the brake lock, and it can be moved after unlocking.

[0027] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the lower side of the air-floating slider 3 is composed of two rectangular inclined planes with V-shaped side surfaces, and the V-shaped angle is 0.5° less than the angle between the two side surfaces of the ventilation slide member; the upper surface of the air-floating slider 3 is a rectangular plane and is arranged horizontally, the long side of the rectangular plane is parallel to the sliding direction of the air-floating slider, and the short side of the rectangular plane is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the air-floating slider, and ears 19 are provided on both sides of the long side of the rectangular plane, and the ears 19 are connected to the suspension rope 5; the ears on both sides provide connection points for the suspension rope, and the air-floating slider can be balanced by the connection on both sides. On both sides of the short side of the rectangular plane are provided with outwardly protruding semicircular bosses, each of which is provided with a threaded hole, in which a damping adjustment bolt 20 is provided; a counterweight fixing stud 22 is provided in the center of the rectangular plane, and the counterweight fixing stud 22 is fixedly connected to a counterweight plate 23 with a nut, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the counterweight plate 23 corresponding to the counterweight fixing stud provided on the rectangular plane. By adjusting the damping adjustment bolt 20, the contact force of the ventilation slide member 2 is changed, thereby changing the Coulomb damping between the air-floating slider member 3 and the ventilation slide member 2. The weight of the air-floating slider member 3 is adjusted by adjusting the number of counterweight plates 23 fixedly connected by the fixing stud 22 and the nut.

[0028] Specifically, a semicircular soft rubber head 21 is provided at the tail of the damping adjustment bolt 20. The provision of the soft rubber head reduces the hard collision between the adjustment bolt and the contact component, making it easier to smoothly adjust the Coulomb damping.

[0029] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown, the root fixing part 9 is a root clamp composed of a clamp positioning clamp plate 24, a torsion spring 25 and a connecting clamp plate 26. One end of the torsion spring 25 is fixedly connected to the clamp positioning clamp plate 24, and the other end is connected to the connecting clamp plate 26; the clamp positioning clamp plate 24 is a rectangular plate with a through hole, which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 27 by fastening screws passing through the through hole on the clamp positioning clamp plate 24; the connecting clamp plate 26 is provided with a through hole, and the connecting clamp plate is composed of two identical clamps with through holes. The root of the test piece is fixedly connected to the connecting clamp plate by a fastener, and a torsion spring is arranged between the clamp positioning plate and the connecting clamp plate. During the experiment, the root stiffness control torsion springs of different stiffnesses can be replaced to adjust the root torsional stiffness of the test piece.

[0030] Specifically, the torsion spring 25 is composed of two sections of left-handed and right-handed torsion springs. The torsion springs at both ends are connected by a central U-shaped transition ring. The ends of the two torsion springs are straight arms. One side of the straight arms at the ends of the two torsion springs is fixedly set on the connecting clamp 26, and the other side is fixedly connected to the other side between the fixture positioning plate 24 and the mounting plate. The root torsional stiffness of the detection part is controlled by replacing the torsion spring. The design of the torsion spring of the root clamp is used as a means to adjust the torsional stiffness of the root boundary.

[0031] Specifically, when active driving is required, the root fixing part 9 is the root driving motor, and the root of the detection part 4 is fixedly connected to the root driving motor. When the spatial mechanism is unloaded and the root is actively driven, a test can be carried out to test the influence of the suspension boundary conditions on the structural dynamic characteristics.

[0032] Specifically, the system also includes a laser displacement sensor 28, which is fixed to one side of the inspection object via a tripod 29. The data collected by the laser displacement sensor 28 is transmitted to a computer 30. By illuminating the inspection object with laser light at the measurement point, the motion trajectory data of the inspection object can be detected and analyzed in real time.

[0033] Example 1: like Figure 1 As shown, using this design tool, when conducting an analysis test on the impact of unloading state boundary conditions on a spatial mechanism, the specific steps are as follows: 1) Select the root stiffness control torsion spring 25 corresponding to the root torsional stiffness required for the test, and secure the root of the test piece 4 with the root fixing member 9. Refer to Table 1 for the selection and adjustment range of the torsion spring.

[0034] 2) Use the position adjustment part to adjust the ventilation rail component 2 to the position just above the unloading point of the inspected part 4, then press the fastening adjustment part to lock the roller to fix the position of the ventilation rail component; 3) Select the spring 7 with the required suspension stiffness for the test. Connect the test piece 4 to the lugs 19 on both sides of the air-floating slider member 3 via the suspension rope 5. Adjust the unloading force using the turnbuckle 6 connected in series to the suspension rope 5. Observe the unloading force value shown on the display 11 until the value meets the test requirements. 4) By adjusting the number of counterweights 23 on the air-floating slider component 3 to the required counterweight for the test; by adding or removing counterweights or adjusting the counterweight positions, align the center of gravity of the slider with the load-bearing center of the air film to ensure that the air film is evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the slider.

[0035] 5) Irradiating the laser of the laser displacement sensor 28 to a position close to the free end of the object to be detected can monitor the displacement of the object under the action of the unloading force in real time, such as elastic deformation, plastic deformation or loosening.

[0036] 6) Use the inflation device to ventilate the air inlet 17 of the ventilation slide member and the air outlet 18 on both sides of the ventilation slide member, so that an air film is formed between the air floating slider 3 and the ventilation slide member 2, so that the air floating slider moves on the ventilation slide member without contact.

[0037] 7) Excite the test piece with a hammer or by setting a displacement excitation. During the test, the Coulomb damping is adjusted by adjusting the damping adjustment bolt 20 on the air-floating slider component 3. The adjustment bolt controls the normal pressure between the air-floating slider and the ventilated rail component by adjusting the compression of the preloaded semicircular soft rubber head, thereby adjusting the friction force and achieving the purpose of suspended sliding damping analysis.

[0038] 8) The data collected by the tension sensor and the laser displacement sensor are transmitted to the control center and the computer 30 for monitoring and analysis. The tension sensor data monitors the unloading force of the suspension rope in real time to ensure that it matches the gravity of the object; the laser displacement sensor collects its response signal, and then the computer 30 records the data for further analysis and processing.

[0039] Example 2: like Figure 5 As shown, using this fixture, when conducting an analysis test on the influence of active drive boundary conditions on the root of a spatial mechanism in an unloaded state, the specific steps are as follows: 1) The root of the detection member is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the root drive motor 10. After the drive motor is started, the detection member can swing along with the rotation of the output shaft; 2) Use the position adjustment part to adjust the ventilation rail component 2 to the position just above the unloading point of the inspected part 4, then press the fastening adjustment part to lock the roller to fix the position of the ventilation rail component; 3) Select the spring 7 corresponding to the suspension stiffness required for the test, connect the test piece 4 to the lugs 19 on both sides of the air-floating slider member 3 via the suspension rope 5, and adjust the unloading force using the turnbuckle 6 connected in series to the suspension rope 5. Observe the unloading force value shown on the display 11 until the value shown meets the test requirements.

[0040] 4) By adjusting the number of counterweights 23 on the air-floating slider component 3 to the required counterweight for the test, and by adding or removing counterweights or adjusting the counterweight positions, the center of gravity of the slider is aligned with the load-bearing center of the air film to ensure that the air film is evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the slider.

[0041] 5) Irradiating the laser of the laser displacement sensor 28 to a position close to the free end of the object to be detected can monitor the displacement of the object under the action of the unloading force in real time, such as elastic deformation, plastic deformation or loosening.

[0042] 6) Use the inflation device to ventilate the air inlet 17 of the ventilation slide member and the air outlet 18 on both sides of the ventilation slide member, so that an air film is formed between the air floating slider 3 and the ventilation slide member 2, so that the air floating slider moves on the ventilation slide member without contact.

[0043] 7) Start the drive motor to drive the test piece to rotate along with the output shaft. During the test, the Coulomb damping is adjusted by adjusting the damping adjustment bolt 20 on the air-floating slider component 3. The adjusting bolt adjusts the compression of the pre-tightened semicircular soft rubber head to control the positive pressure between the contact surface of the air-floating slider and the ventilated slide component, thereby adjusting the friction force to achieve the purpose of suspension sliding damping analysis.

[0044] 8) The data collected by the tension sensor and the laser displacement sensor are transmitted to the control center and the computer 30 for monitoring and analysis. The tension sensor data monitors the unloading force of the suspension rope in real time to ensure that it matches the gravity of the object; the laser displacement sensor collects its response signal, and then the computer 30 records the data for further analysis and processing.
