AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing modular space trusses have low volume utilization during transportation, strong connection directionality, and are difficult to freely combine to form arbitrary two-dimensional topologies. Furthermore, mechanical grippers have problems with space constraints and difficulty in maintaining posture.

Method used

It adopts a bistable folding truss structure, including an upper frame, a lower frame, side columns and elastic tensioning members. It can be folded and twisted through hinged connectors and limiting structures. The elastic tensioning members form an energy barrier and self-holding capability, and the magnetic components and splicing interfaces achieve stable connection.

Benefits of technology

It achieves volume compression and automated deployment during transportation, possesses elastic potential energy and end-state self-holding capability, reduces the continuous load requirements of robot assembly, and improves the stability and flexibility of module combination.

Abstract

本发明涉及桁架技术领域,具体公开一种双稳态折叠桁架,包括上架体、下架体、多个侧柱和多个弹性张紧件;侧柱的两端均设置有铰接连接件,上架体和下架体分别与侧柱两端的铰接连接件转动连接;上架体、下架体和侧柱构成可折叠结构,当上架体和下架体相对扭转时,侧柱绕着铰接连接件的转动轴线摆动;铰接连接件上设置有限位结构,限位结构用于限定可折叠结构的最大展开角度和侧柱的最大摆动角度;弹性张紧件在折叠稳态和展开稳态的转换过程中形成能量壁垒;当上架体与下架体发生相对扭转,且扭转力突破能量势垒时,可折叠结构将切换模态;该双稳态折叠桁架可折叠、可扭转展开、具有弹性势能势垒和端态自保持能力。
