Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hidden storage device for space capsules, specifically a hidden storage device suitable for the confined space of space capsules. It can realize the integrated design of storage space and capsule structure, improving the utilization rate of space inside the space capsule and the ease of operation. Background Technology

[0002] In the design of manned spacecraft (such as the core module of a space station and the return capsule of a manned spacecraft), the usable space inside the spacecraft is extremely limited, and it must meet the multiple storage needs of astronauts for living and working in orbit, including the classified storage of clothing, food, tools, experimental consumables, and other items. Currently, storage devices in spacecraft mostly adopt fixed cabinet or drawer-type structures. Although these structures can achieve basic storage functions, they occupy fixed visible space inside the cabin, which can easily lead to a crowded interior layout and may pose a collision hazard during astronaut movement.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Insufficient locking reliability: When the spacecraft is in a weightless or microgravity environment, the storage components are prone to accidentally popping out due to vibration or accidental contact by astronauts, affecting the normal operation of the equipment inside the cabin;

[0005] 2. Poor ease of opening and closing: Most hidden storage devices require manual operation of multiple buckles or locks, which is difficult for astronauts to operate while wearing spacesuits. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a hidden storage device for a space capsule to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A hidden storage device for space capsules includes a mounting base, storage components, a guiding mechanism, and a locking mechanism.

[0009] The mounting base is fixedly connected to the cabin wall, and its interior has an opening facing the cabin.

[0010] The storage component is slidably disposed within the receiving cavity for storing items.

[0011] The guiding mechanism is located between the mounting base and the storage component, and is used to guide the storage component to enter and exit the receiving cavity in a preset direction.

[0012] The locking mechanism is located between the mounting base and the storage component, and is used to lock or unlock the storage component.

[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the guiding mechanism includes a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, and the slider is fixed to the outer side of the storage component. The slider and the slide rail slide together, and the sliding resistance is no greater than 5N.

[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that the locking mechanism includes an elastic block and a positioning groove. The elastic block is located on the outside of the storage component, and the positioning groove is located on the inner wall of the receiving cavity of the mounting base. When the storage component is completely retracted into the receiving cavity, the elastic block is engaged in the positioning groove to achieve locking.

[0015] A further improvement of this utility model is that the locking mechanism also includes an unlocking button, which is located on the outside of the storage component and is linked to the elastic block. Pressing the unlocking button can push the elastic block away from the positioning groove to complete the unlocking.

[0016] A further improvement of this utility model is that the locking mechanism is an electromagnetic lock, which is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity. The storage component is provided with a metal suction piece at the corresponding position. The electromagnetic lock is electrically connected to the space capsule control circuit and can be controlled by commands to lock or unlock.

[0017] A further improvement of this utility model is that it also includes a buffer mechanism, which is a damper fixed to one end of the guide mechanism near the opening of the receiving cavity, for reducing the impact when the storage component unfolds or retracts.

[0018] A further improvement of this utility model is that the storage component includes a storage body and a layered partition. The storage body is a box-shaped structure adapted to the receiving cavity. The layered partition is detachably connected to the inside of the storage body and the spacing can be adjusted along the inner wall of the storage body.

[0019] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the bottom of the mounting base is provided with an adjustable mounting seat, the adjustable mounting seat includes a fixed seat and a sliding seat, the sliding seat can be adjusted horizontally along the fixed seat, and the adjustment range is ±50mm.

[0020] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0021] 1. This utility model achieves automatic locking and unlocking of the storage components through a locking mechanism, eliminating the need for manual operation of multiple locks. Furthermore, the locking mechanism adopts a bidirectional positioning structure, which can effectively prevent accidental ejection caused by vibration or accidental contact in a weightless environment, thereby improving the operational stability of the device in a space environment.

[0022] 2. The handle design of this utility model conforms to the operating habits of astronauts' hands, and the locking mechanism can be unlocked by a single action (such as pressing the handle or triggering the button), so that astronauts can still operate it easily while wearing spacesuits, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0023] 3. The storage component of this utility model has a detachable layered partition and classification slots inside, which can flexibly divide the storage space according to the size of the items, avoid mixing items. At the same time, when the storage component is completely retracted, it fits snugly with the mounting base, does not occupy the visible space inside the compartment, and improves the neatness of the interior layout.

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a hidden storage device for a space capsule, including a mounting base 1, a storage component 2, a guiding mechanism 3, and a locking mechanism 4;

[0031] The mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to the cabin wall and has an internal cavity 11 with an opening facing the cabin. The bottom of the mounting base 1 is provided with an adjustable mounting seat 6, which includes a fixed seat and a sliding seat. The sliding seat can be adjusted horizontally along the fixed seat, with an adjustment range of ±50mm.

[0032] The storage component 2 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 11 for storing items. The storage component 2 includes a storage body 21 and a layered partition 23. The storage body 21 is a box-shaped structure adapted to the receiving cavity 11. The layered partition 23 is detachably connected to the inside of the storage body 21 and the spacing can be adjusted along the inner wall of the storage body 21.

[0033] The guide mechanism 3 is located between the mounting base 1 and the storage component 2, and is used to guide the storage component 2 to enter and exit the receiving cavity 11 in a preset direction. The guide mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 31 and a slider 32. The slide rail 31 is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, and the slider 32 is fixed to the outer side of the storage component 2. The slider 32 and the slide rail 31 slide in cooperation, and the sliding resistance is not greater than 5N.

[0034] The locking mechanism 4 is located between the mounting base 1 and the storage component 2, and is used to lock or unlock the storage component 2. The locking mechanism 4 includes an elastic block 41 and a positioning groove 42. The elastic block 41 is located on the outside of the storage component 2, and the positioning groove 42 is located on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 of the mounting base 1. When the storage component 2 is completely retracted into the receiving cavity 11, the elastic block 41 is engaged in the positioning groove 42 to achieve locking. The locking mechanism 4 also includes an unlocking button 43, which is located on the outside of the storage component 2 and is linked with the elastic block 41. Pressing the unlocking button 43 can push the elastic block 41 out of the positioning groove 42 to complete unlocking. In addition, the locking mechanism 4 is an electromagnetic lock 44, which is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. The storage component 2 has a metal suction piece at the corresponding position. The electromagnetic lock 44 is electrically connected to the space capsule control circuit and can be controlled by commands to switch on and off to achieve locking or unlocking.

[0035] It should be noted that a buffer mechanism 5 is also included. The buffer mechanism 5 is a damper 51, which is fixed to one end of the guide mechanism 3 near the opening of the receiving cavity 11, and is used to reduce the impact when the storage component 2 is unfolded or retracted.

[0036] The working principle of this hidden storage device in the space capsule will be explained in detail below.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, firstly, the astronaut unlocks the locking mechanism 4 by grasping the handle 22 and pressing the unlock button 43, or by sending an unlock command through the control panel. After unlocking, the astronaut pulls the storage component 2 outward along the slide rail 31 of the guide mechanism 3 until it is fully unfolded. During the unfolding process, the buffer mechanism 5 can prevent the storage component 2 from colliding with the mounting base 1 due to excessive pulling speed. When the astronaut takes out or puts in items, the position of the layered partition 23 can be adjusted to meet the storage needs of items of different sizes.

[0038] After the items are retrieved and placed, the astronauts push the storage component 2 along the slide rail 31 into the receiving cavity 11. When the storage component 2 moves to the preset position, the locking mechanism 4 is automatically triggered, locking the storage component 2 into the receiving cavity 11. At this time, the storage component 2 is flush with the surface of the mounting base 1, does not occupy the visible space inside the cabin, and completes one storage operation.

[0039] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
