AI Technical Summary
Existing ground-based testing equipment cannot adapt to the motion trajectory of multi-step deployable solar arrays, making it difficult to accurately simulate weightlessness throughout the entire process. This results in damage to the substrate due to stress, and the integrity of the test structure cannot be guaranteed.
The solar array employs a first deployment mechanism and a second deployment mechanism, which respectively utilize a two-dimensional slide bar mechanism and a sliding roller mechanism to achieve multi-step deployment of the solar array. This simulates a weightless state, reduces the compressive load and bending stress on the hinge due to the self-weight of the substrate, and prevents the hinge from deforming and being damaged.
It achieved accurate simulation of multi-step deployable solar array ground deployment test, ensuring smooth deployment of the solar array in a weightless state, avoiding damage to the substrate under stress, and ensuring the integrity of the test structure.
