Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of spacecraft component testing, in particular to a performance test and defect detection integrated device and method for an elastic stretch rod for a spacecraft. BACKGROUND

[0002] The elastic stretch rod is a core component of a stretch rod mechanism of a satellite and the like, is used for stretching a detection load to a position far from a body, and has functions of in-orbit support and signal transmission and the like, and the performance of the elastic stretch rod directly determines the success or failure of a detection task. The elastic stretch rod is only 50-150 mm in the compressed state, and can reach more than ten meters after being stretched, has a series of advantages such as self-driving, light weight and high energy storage ratio, and becomes a development trend of the stretch rod mechanism application. In recent years, more than 800 elastic stretch rods have been applied to satellite detection tasks and play an important role in the field of aerospace.

[0003] The elastic stretch rod is usually made of high-elasticity alloy strip material through a continuous stretch bending method, has a spiral shape, and the rear side of the spiral is covered by the front side, so that the whole component has a small-angle cone shape. Because the elastic stretch rod has a small diameter, has large elastic deformation and internal stress during work, and is prone to creep or deformation exceeding the strength limit during long-term storage and space service, the shape precision is difficult to maintain, and the mechanical properties are reduced. When there are surface defects or micro-cracks on the winding layer, there is even a risk of cracking failure. Therefore, the mechanical property measurement and surface defect detection of the elastic stretch rod are of great significance.

[0004] Because the elastic stretch rod has a complex geometric structure with high spiral overlap rate, and the winding layer has an extremely thin thickness of only 0.05-0.2 mm, the storage spring cylinder and the winding layer are closely attached to each other and are blocked during the detection, so that the defects in the overlapping area are difficult to directly observe, forming a detection blind area. The diameter and shape control of the elastic stretch rod in the coiled state is difficult, and further human intervention is prone to damage the winding layer and even cause the component to fail, resulting in difficulties in mechanical property test operation, high parameter control difficulty, large result error, and the evaluation of the performance of the component under different parameter states is difficult to effectively carry out, which affects the service reliability of the elastic stretch rod in the space environment.
