Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of variable structure space remote sensor technology, and more specifically, to a three-stage sleeve-type deployment arm timing release deployment device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, competition among nations in the space domain is intensifying. As a crucial component of space exploration, the space telescope, solar panel, and other key deployment equipment rely heavily on the space telescope's deployable arm, a key research focus for many countries. The working principle of the telescope-type deployable arm involves multi-stage folding and retracting into the fairing envelope before launch. After entering the predetermined orbit, it deploys via a drive mechanism to support the space payload. However, since the beginning of the 21st century, with the further development of space exploration, various space probes have made significant progress in performance, and the size and precision of these probes have also increased. This has placed higher demands on the strength, stiffness, dimensions, and other specifications of the space telescope-type deployable arm.
[0003] Sleeve-type deployable arms can be categorized into various types based on their drive mechanism, including rope-driven, screw-driven, lever-driven, and gear-driven reciprocating drives. Among these, rope-driven deployment is widely used due to its advantages such as good deployment synchronization, strong impact resistance, simple structure, high deployment accuracy, and light weight. However, as sleeve-type deployable arms develop towards larger sizes, higher rigidity, and higher strength, the impact generated during deployment and the dynamic response during deployment cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a novel drive deployment device to achieve staged deployment of the sleeve-type deployable arm, thereby reducing the impact during deployment and optimizing the dynamic characteristics of the deployment process.

The unlocking component 503 is located at the top of the secondary sleeve arm 302 and connected to it by bolts.
[0046] See Figures 9 to 11 As shown:
[0047] The unlocking assembly 503 includes a locking component 5031, a locking pin 5032, a locking spring 5033, an upper unlocking block 5034, a lower unlocking block 5035, an unlocking connecting rod 5037, a reset spring 5038, and an unlocking bracket 5036.

[0048] The locking component 5031 includes a locking component body 5031a and two end caps 5031b. The locking component body 5031a is a long rod with a T-shaped hollow structure at its center. The upper end of the T-shaped hollow structure is a rectangular space, and the lower end is a cylindrical cavity. The diameter of the lower cylindrical cavity of the locking component body 5031a corresponds to the diameter of the circular limiting hole at the top of the upper unlocking block slide groove.

The two end caps 5031b are respectively located on both sides of the locking component body 5031a and are connected to the locking component body 5031a by bolts.
[0049] The locking pin 5032 is a T-shaped metal block. The upper end of the locking pin 5032 is rectangular and the lower end is cylindrical. The diameter of the lower cylindrical part of the locking pin 5032 is the same as the diameter of the circular limiting hole at the top of the upper unlocking block slide groove. The locking pin 5032 is installed in the cavity of the locking body 5031a. The locking spring 5033 is installed between the locking body 5031a and the locking pin 5032.
[0050] The upper unlocking block 5034 is a slider structure with a cylindrical structure at the top. The diameter of the cylindrical structure is the same as the diameter of the circular limiting hole at the top of the upper unlocking block groove. Bearing structures are provided on both sides of the upper unlocking block 5034. The upper unlocking block 5034 is placed in the unlocking block groove on the unlocking bracket 5036 and can move up and down along the groove. The lower unlocking block 5035 is a slider structure with bearing structures on both sides. The lower unlocking block 5035 is placed in the lower unlocking block groove of the unlocking bracket 5036 and can move left and right along the groove.
[0051] There are two unlocking linkages 5037, which are long rods with circular holes at both ends. The two unlocking linkages 5037 are placed on both sides of the upper unlocking block 5034. One end of the linkage engages with the bearing of the upper unlocking block 5034 and can rotate around the bearing of the upper unlocking block 5034. The other end engages with the bearing of the lower unlocking block 5035 and can rotate around the bearing of the lower unlocking block 5035. The return spring 5038 is placed in the lower unlocking block groove of the unlocking bracket 5036 and is installed between the unlocking bracket 5036 and the lower unlocking block 5035.
[0052] Specifically, the working process or working principle of this three-stage sleeve-type sequential release deployment device is as follows: In the initial state, the sleeve component 3 is retracted, and the tops of the first-stage sleeve arm 303, the second-stage sleeve arm 302, and the third-stage sleeve arm 301 are in the same plane. The locking component 5031 of the unlocking assembly 503 is in a straight state, with the end near the third-stage sleeve arm 301 positioned below the limiting rod 501. The drive motor 101 starts, driving the winding drum 1022 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the first-stage sleeve arm 303 unfolds along the axial direction of the first-stage sleeve arm 303 under the drive of the deployment rope 401. At this time, the second-stage sleeve arm 302 cannot move upward due to the restriction of the locking component 5031, thus realizing the sequential release of the first-stage sleeve arm 303.
[0053] When the first-stage sleeve arm 303 moves upward to the preset position, the trigger end 502 compresses the lower unlocking block 5035. The lower unlocking block 5035 moves inward along the lower unlocking block groove of the unlocking bracket 5036, driving the upper unlocking block 5034 to move upward along the upper unlocking block groove of the unlocking bracket 5036 via the unlocking connecting rod 5037. This compresses the locking pin 5032, causing it to move inward. When the locking pin 5032 is completely disengaged from the unlocking bracket 5036, the trigger end 502 moves upward, causing the locking element 5031 to deflect downward near the end of the third-stage sleeve arm 301, thereby disengaging from the limit rod 501 and unlocking the second-stage sleeve arm 302 and the third-stage sleeve arm 301. Driven by the unfolding rope 401, the second-stage sleeve arm 302 unfolds axially, realizing the sequential release of the second-stage sleeve arm 302 until all sleeve-type unfolding arms are fully unfolded.
[0054] When the sleeve 3 needs to be retracted, the drive motor 101 reverses, causing the winding drum 1022 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn causes the winding rope 402 to wind back. The winding rope 402 causes the first-stage sleeve arm 303 to retract. When the top of the first-stage sleeve arm 303 contacts the top of the second-stage sleeve arm 302, it causes the second-stage sleeve arm 302 to retract, thereby realizing the retraction of the entire sleeve-type unfolding arm.
