Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of spacecraft assembly tooling, specifically to a universal auxiliary tray for satellite assembly and a flat-panel satellite. Background Technology

[0002] During satellite assembly, operators need to perform a large number of tasks, such as tightening screws and installing small components. Currently, the common practice is to scatter tools and parts on workbenches, pallets, or tool carts. This method has the following significant drawbacks: 1. Low efficiency: Operators need to frequently turn around, bend over, or retrieve parts from a distance, interrupting continuous assembly work and affecting efficiency. This is particularly prominent in the final assembly of flat-panel satellites, whose huge plate structure requires operators to constantly lean over to the center of the satellite's plate for assembly, and then retreat to the tool area to retrieve parts, resulting in extremely high labor intensity and severely disrupting the assembly rhythm.

[0003] 2. Fatigue: Improper placement of items can lead to awkward operating postures, and prolonged work can easily cause muscle fatigue.

[0004] 3. Significant safety hazards: The complex environment inside the satellite cabin means that loose screws, washers, and other small parts can easily roll off and become difficult-to-find "extra" items, posing a serious threat to satellite safety. Frequent and large-scale leaning and withdrawing by operators also increases the risk that tools and parts in their pockets or hands could accidentally slip and fall into the satellite's interior, posing an extremely high risk.

[0005] 4. Poor flexibility: Existing tool carts or fixed pallets cannot be flexibly positioned around the satellite panel and cannot follow the operator's work focus.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an auxiliary device that can be flexibly fixed, its position and angle can be adjusted at will, and it can safely accommodate small parts. Utility Model Content

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: This utility model provides a universal auxiliary tray for satellite assembly, including a clamping part, an alloy hose and a tool tray. One end of the alloy hose is detachably or fixedly connected to the clamping part, and the other end of the alloy hose is detachably or fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the tool tray. The inner surface of the tool tray is provided with a magnetic attraction element or a magnetic attraction element is embedded inside.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a universal auxiliary tray for satellite assembly. By incorporating a clamping part, an alloy flexible hose, and a tool tray, it specifically solves the challenges of assembling flat-panel satellites. By directly clamping the tray onto the tooling on or near the edge of the satellite plate, and utilizing the universal adjustment capability of the alloy flexible hose, tools and parts can be delivered "suspended" to the operator's work surface. The operator no longer needs to move back and forth between the "work point" and the "tool area," achieving "tools follow the operator, materials are at hand," completely solving the problems of low efficiency and fatigue caused by frequent leaning and withdrawing.

[0010] This invention significantly improves safety. The tray is always positioned below or to the side of the work point, making the process of picking up and placing parts and tools quick and controllable, fundamentally eliminating the risk of parts falling off due to long-distance movement.

The stud is threaded through the connecting plate into the clamping frame and fixedly connected to the top block. The top block is arranged correspondingly to the inner surface of the limiting plate and forms a clamping gap.

[0019] Furthermore, the top block has silicone rubber pads on one side facing the limiting plate and on the inner surface of the limiting plate.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the stability of clamping can be improved by setting a silicone rubber pad.

[0021] Furthermore, the clamping frame has an F-shaped or U-shaped structure.

[0022] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are: the F-shaped clamping frame is easy to hold and has higher structural stability.

[0023] Furthermore, the top block has a plate-like structure and does not extend beyond the open structure side of the clamping frame.

[0024] Furthermore, the length of the alloy hose is 0.8 to 2 meters.

[0034] The tool tray in this embodiment is preferably made of aluminum alloy. The magnetic component in this embodiment can be a single magnetic block or an entire magnetic plate.

[0035] The clamping part of this embodiment can be used to fix the entire universal auxiliary tray to an external support, the edge of a workbench, or the surface of a satellite module. The clamping part of this embodiment can employ any structure capable of clamping. The alloy flexible tubing of this embodiment is commercially available and can be manually bent into any shape and maintained, thereby achieving multi-degree-of-freedom positioning in three-dimensional space. The tool tray of this embodiment is equipped with magnetic components, making its core functional surface a magnetic adsorption surface. This magnetic adsorption surface is used to firmly adsorb commonly used metal screws, washers, and other direct attachments in satellite assembly, preventing them from rolling off.

[0036] This embodiment of the satellite assembly universal auxiliary tray addresses the challenges of assembling flat-panel satellites by incorporating a clamping unit, alloy flexible hose, and tool tray. By directly clamping the tray to tooling on or near the edge of the satellite panel and utilizing the universal adjustment capability of the alloy flexible hose, tools and parts can be delivered "suspended" to the operator's work surface. Operators no longer need to move back and forth between the "work point" and the "tool area," achieving "tools with the operator, materials at hand," completely resolving the inefficiency and fatigue caused by frequent leaning and withdrawing.

[0037] The universal auxiliary tray for satellite assembly in this embodiment greatly improves safety.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the top block 34 has silicone rubber pads 36 on one side facing the limiting plate 32 and on the inner surface of the limiting plate 32. The use of silicone rubber pads improves clamping stability. The silicone rubber pads 36 have a high coefficient of friction, allowing them to be safely and securely clamped onto the smooth surface of the satellite compartment without scratching the product surface.

[0044] Optionally, the clamping frame 3 in this embodiment has an F-shaped or U-shaped structure. An F-shaped clamping frame is easier to hold and has higher structural stability.
