[0002] Low Earth Orbit (LEO) vehicles are spacecraft that operate in low Earth orbit at an altitude of several hundred kilometers above the ground. They are mainly used to build satellite internet, such as the Starlink project, to provide high-speed and stable internet access services globally, solving network coverage problems in remote areas. They can also achieve high-resolution Earth observation for military reconnaissance, land resource surveys, urban planning, environmental protection, disaster monitoring, and other fields. They can quickly obtain detailed information about ground targets, which helps to carry out research in fields such as space physics, earth science, and astronomy, such as observing the Earth's magnetic field, atmospheric phenomena, and cosmic rays, providing important data support for scientific research. To ensure the safety of LEO vehicles, small spacecraft and experimental equipment are often used for simulation during manufacturing.

By activating a hydraulic cylinder, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder drives a telescopic rod, which drives the sliding plate to slide on the outer wall of the slide rod. When the sliding plate moves towards the fixing plate, it drives a movable rod to push a rotating block, which rotates counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the rotating block drives the sliding plate on the right side towards the fixing plate. The sliding plate drives the connecting block, which drives the clamping plate to clamp the shell.
