Description

Technical Field

[0002] The current aerospace assembly stage demands stringent requirements for the precision, efficiency, and safety of high-voltage and low-voltage connections. These connections rely on manual plugging and unplugging, requiring precise interface alignment during assembly. This is not only inefficient (each connection is time-consuming) but also prone to interface wear due to operational errors. Furthermore, plugging and unplugging in high-voltage circuits carries risks of electric shock and short circuits. Traditional connection devices, often single-function designs, cannot simultaneously meet the demands of coordinating high-voltage and low-voltage connections, necessitating frequent tool changes when adapting to multi-module integration scenarios, thus impacting assembly progress. Moreover, in explosion-proof environments, the weight of explosion-proof plugs and cables makes them difficult for one person to handle, requiring multiple people to work together, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Finally, the limited assembly space further complicates the operation for workers. Summary of the Invention
