[0023] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0024] Example 1 like Figures 1-7 As shown, a spacecraft locking and releasing device according to this embodiment includes a base 1, a housing 2, a sliding sleeve 3, a puller 21, a split nut assembly, and a first spring 33. The base 1 has a cylindrical structure and a first mounting plate 11 and a second mounting plate 12 are fixed at its two axial ends, respectively. The sliding sleeve 3 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the base 1 and connected to the first mounting plate 11 through the first spring 33. The housing 2 is spacedly sleeved on the outside of the sliding sleeve 3 and fixed to the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12, respectively. The puller 21 is mounted on the housing 2 and has one end... The base 1 extends into the housing 2; multiple slots 13 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction on the side wall of the base 1; the first mounting plate 11 has a first through hole 14 in the middle that communicates with the interior of the base 1 and is used for the locking rod 5 to pop out; a split nut assembly for locking the locking rod 5 is also installed in the base 1; multiple sets of connecting ear plates 42 are fixed on the outer side wall of the split nut assembly; the multiple sets of connecting ear plates 42 are respectively arranged in correspondence with the multiple slots 13 and are hinged to the sliding sleeve 3 through the slots 13 via the connecting rod 35; In the locked state, the puller 21 is adapted to abut against the side of the sliding sleeve 3 away from the first spring 33, and the first spring 33 is in a compressed state. The connecting rod 35 extends radially along the split nut assembly, and the split nut assembly closes and locks the locking rod 5. In the released state, the puller 21 is pulled out, and the sliding sleeve 3 moves away from the first mounting plate 11 under the action of the first spring 33 and pulls the connecting rod 35 to open the split nut assembly and release the locking rod 5.
[0025] like Figure 2As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the number of slots 13 is three, and three sets of connecting ear plates 42 are fixed on the outer wall of the split nut assembly and evenly arranged in the circumferential direction.
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the base 1, housing 2, and sliding sleeve 3 are all cylindrical structures, and reinforcing ribs are provided on the inner sidewalls of the housing 2 and the sliding sleeve 3. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the housing 2 in this embodiment is provided with a first reinforcing rib 22, and the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 3 in this embodiment is provided with a second reinforcing rib 34. The first reinforcing rib 22 extends to both end faces of the housing 2 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the housing 2, and the second reinforcing rib 34 extends to both end faces of the sliding sleeve 3 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the sliding sleeve 3. The lugs 32 on the sliding sleeve 3 can be fixed to the two ends of the corresponding second reinforcing ribs 34. The provision of reinforcing ribs can ensure that the sliding sleeve 3 and the housing 2 can withstand large radial forces.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pin puller 21 is preferably an SMA pin puller.
[0028] This embodiment uses a segmented nut assembly commonly used in clamping and releasing devices. The segmented nut assembly includes multiple segmented nuts, which are brought together to form a single complete nut. Each segmented nut can only move radially within the base, and the movement directions of all segments are the same. Each segmented nut is connected to a sliding sleeve via a connecting rod. The segmented nuts, connecting rod, and sliding sleeve together form a four-bar linkage. In the locked state of the four-bar linkage, the radial force borne by the segmented nut is parallel to the line connecting the centers of the two circular holes on the connecting rod, forming a "dead point" position, allowing the mechanism to withstand a large load-bearing capacity and a small unlocking force. Several cylindrical holes are pre-drilled on the mating surfaces of the multiple segmented nuts, and a third spring 41 is placed in each of these holes. After the pin puller unlocks, the multiple segmented nuts can quickly move radially under the force of the third spring 41.
[0029] In this embodiment, the inner cylindrical surface of the sliding sleeve 3 and the outer cylindrical surface of the base 1 are fitted together, and the two are coaxial, and the sliding sleeve 3 can only move along its axis.
[0030] In this embodiment, a slot is opened on the side wall of the base, and the split nut assembly is opened by using a connecting rod and a sliding sleeve. Compared with the problem of crushing of the contact surface force that may occur when using steel balls for locking, the linkage mechanism can achieve a larger locking force and better locking stability.
[0031] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a preferred arrangement for the connecting ear plate 42. For example...Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, each set of connecting lugs 42 in this embodiment includes two connecting lugs 42 spaced apart along a direction parallel to the axis of the split nut assembly. The two connecting lugs 42 are respectively hinged to both ends of the sliding sleeve 3 along the axial direction via connecting rods 35. The two connecting rods 35 connected to the two connecting lugs 42 are arranged parallel to each other and can swing within the corresponding slots 13. The line connecting the hinge points of the two connecting lugs 42 and the line connecting the corresponding two hinge points on the sliding sleeve 3 are both parallel to the axis of the split nut assembly. The two connecting lugs, as a set, can achieve a stable hinge connection with the sliding sleeve.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the sliding sleeve 3 has multiple lugs 32 on its two axial end faces, and the multiple lugs 32 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple connecting lug plates 42 and are hinged to each other by the connecting rod 35. By providing lugs, a stable hinge connection between the sliding sleeve and the connecting rod is facilitated.
[0033] In this embodiment, the connecting lug 42, connecting rod 35, and lug 32 on the outer wall of the split nut assembly together constitute a parallel four-bar linkage. The sliding sleeve 3 is in a downward movement tendency under the action of the first spring 33. Due to the constraint of the pin at the end of the pin puller, the sliding sleeve 3 cannot move downward. When the pin puller is powered, its end pin retracts, the sliding sleeve contacts the constraint, and moves downward under the action of the first spring 33, while driving the connecting rod and the split nut to move. At this time, the multi-lobed split nut moves radially at the same time, thereby achieving the purpose of unlocking the locking rod.
[0034] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides a preferred structure for the sliding sleeve 3. For example... Figure 1 As shown, a baffle 31 is fixed to one end face of the sliding sleeve 3 opposite to the first mounting plate 11. The baffle 31 is sleeved on the outside of the base 1. The first spring 33 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding sleeve 3, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first mounting plate 11 and the baffle 31. The baffle facilitates the connection and fixation of the first spring.
[0035] Example 4 Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment provides a preferred structure for the base 1. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting step 190 is provided on the outer side wall of the base 1. The step surface of the limiting step 190 faces the second mounting plate 12. When the puller 21 and the sliding sleeve 3 are adapted to abut against the side away from the first spring 33, the sliding sleeve 3 abuts against the step surface of the limiting step 190 for limiting. By setting the limiting step, it is convenient to cooperate with the sliding sleeve for limiting.
[0036] Example 5 Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment provides a preferred structure for a split nut assembly. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a first top block 15 is installed on the inner side of the first mounting plate 11. The first top block 15 has a second through hole 18 that communicates with the first through hole 14 and is used for the locking rod 5 to pass through. A second top block 16 is installed on the inner side of the second mounting plate 12. The first top block 15 and the second top block 16 are located at the two ends of the split nut assembly in the axial direction and are arranged coaxially with the split nut assembly. The two end faces of the split nut assembly in the axial direction are concave conical surfaces. The two end faces of the first top block 15 and the second top block 16 arranged opposite to each other are convex conical surfaces. The two concave conical surfaces of the split nut assembly in the axial direction are slidably engaged with the convex conical surfaces of the first top block 15 and the second top block 16, respectively.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a second spring 17 is fixed in the middle of the second mounting plate 12. The second spring 17 is located inside the base 1 and is arranged coaxially with the base 1. The free end of the second spring 17 is connected to the second top block 16.
[0038] Specifically, both ends of a single split nut 4 are inclined planes, and the slope of the inclined planes is the same as that of the first top block 15 and the second top block 16. When multiple split nuts 4 form a complete nut, when subjected to tensile force along the nut axis, it has a certain radial force component. After unlocking, it can ensure reliable force component of the nut. This slope should be greater than the friction angle generated. The inner hole of a single split nut 4 is an incomplete thread, and the upper and lower end faces are inclined planes for fitting with the first top block 15 and the second top block 16. Several cylindrical holes are provided on the mating surfaces of the nuts. These cylindrical holes are used to place the third spring 41. The third spring 41 is used for the rapid opening of the nut. One end face of the split nut 4 is provided with a sliding groove 43. This sliding groove 43 is used to cooperate with the slider 19 on the first top block 15 to ensure that the split nut does not rotate along the axis during the tightening process. Multiple connecting ear plates 42 are reserved on the outer circular wall of the split nut 4. The connecting ear plates 42 are reserved with connecting holes for hinged connection with the connecting rod 35.
[0039] In the locked state, the locking and releasing device of this embodiment has multiple split nuts 4 retracting and forming a complete thread under the action of the connecting rod 35 and the sliding sleeve 3. The locking rod 5 is a threaded rod that can be screwed into the retracted nuts and press against the equipment that needs to be locked. When it is necessary to unlock, the pin puller 21 is powered, the pin at the end retracts and releases the restriction of the baffle. The baffle 31 and the sliding sleeve 3 are fixedly connected. Under the action of the first spring 33, the sliding sleeve 3 moves downward and drives the connecting rod 35 to rotate. At the same time, the split nuts 4 move radially, thereby separating the locking rod 5 and the split nuts 4, achieving the purpose of unlocking.
[0040] Example 6 This embodiment provides a spacecraft, including a spacecraft locking and releasing device as described in any of the above embodiments, and also includes a spacecraft body and a device to be released. The housing 2 is fixed on the spacecraft body, and the device to be released is connected and fixed to the locking rod 5.
[0041] The spacecraft in this embodiment uses a linkage assembly for locking and releasing, which can achieve a larger locking force and better locking stability.
