Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely a few embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a space debris removing device, as shown in fig. 1, the device including: the device comprises a carrying mechanism 1, a telescopic mechanism 2, a synchronous turntable 3 and a flexible capturing mechanism 4. A carrying mechanism 1 for maneuvering into synchronization with the target debris trajectory. One end of the telescopic mechanism 2 is inserted into and limited in the carrying mechanism 1 and is arranged in a rotating way, and the other end of the telescopic mechanism is connected with the flexible catching mechanism 4. Synchronous turntable 3 sets up on a side of carrying mechanism 1 with rotating, and synchronous turntable 3 suit is used for driving telescopic machanism 2 synchronous rotation on telescopic machanism 2. The flexible catching mechanism 4 is used for catching target fragments and is in flexible contact with the target fragments.
The working principle of the space debris removing device provided by the embodiment of the invention is explained as follows:
when in use, the device comprises a preparation stage, a capture stage, an operation stage and a release stage which are sequentially carried out. The specific process is as follows: the carrying mechanism 1 is mechanically driven to be synchronous with the target debris track, and the telescopic mechanism 2 acts to move the flexible capturing mechanism 4 to the capturing position. A capturing stage: if the target fragments rotate, the synchronous turntable 3 is started, the flexible catching mechanism 4 is driven by the telescopic mechanism 2 to rotate synchronously with the target fragments, and then the flexible catching mechanism 4 is started to catch the target fragments. The operation stage is as follows: the carrier 1 is motorized to a lower track or recovery platform. And (3) a release stage: the flexible catching mechanism 4 acts to release the target debris. Through the above process, the removal of space debris can be completed. Or in the operation stage, the target fragments can be subjected to on-track maintenance, part replacement, system connection, experiments and other operations through the carrying mechanism 1, so that the space fragments are maintained.
Therefore, the space debris removing device provided by the embodiment of the invention can complete the operations of removing and maintaining the space debris and the like. Through setting up synchronous carousel 3 and rotatable telescopic machanism 2, can drive the synchronous revolution of flexible mechanism 4 of arresting and target piece, be convenient for catch the space piece in the rotation. Through setting up flexible mechanism 4 of arresting, can catch the space piece of different appearances (for example, have complicated overhanging mechanism), and difficult production collision avoids the secondary piece because of the collision leads to, and application scope is wider, and stability and security are higher.
In the embodiment of the invention, the telescopic mechanism 2 drives the flexible capturing mechanism 4 to move through the telescopic action of the telescopic mechanism 2, and as an example, the telescopic mechanism 2 can be a multi-stage telescopic structure formed by sleeving a plurality of pipe fittings step by step, so that the length can be conveniently adjusted to different lengths.
As an example, the flexible catching mechanism 4 may include: substrate 41, flexible wrist foot 42. The other end of the telescopic mechanism 2 is connected to one side surface of the substrate 41, and a plurality of flexible wrist legs 42 are connected to the other side surface of the substrate 41. The flexible wrist foot 42 is made of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA for short), the flexible wrist foot 42 is set to extend out along an arc Shape after being heated, and the extending direction of the flexible wrist foot 42 points to the axial direction of the substrate 41 for wrapping the target fragment.
By the arrangement, when the heating device is used for heating, the flexible wrist and foot 42 bends and extends to wrap and adsorb target fragments, rigid collision cannot be generated, and the flexible wrist and foot fixing device has good flexibility. When the release is needed, the flexible wrist and foot 42 is cooled and reset, and the covering of the target fragments is released. The flexible wrist foot 42 is in line contact with the target fragment, so that the parts such as complicated outward extending parts or parts which are not easy to contact can be avoided easily, and the flexible wrist foot is well suitable for capturing the target fragment made of complicated materials and with complicated structures.
Further, the surface of the flexible wrist foot 42 may be coated with silicone rubber to further improve cushioning. The silicon rubber has better high-temperature stability and ductility, and can be matched with the expansion of the flexible wrist and foot 42.
Wherein, a plurality of flexible wrist feet 42 can be evenly distributed along the circumference of the substrate 41, so as to enable the target fragments to be evenly stressed. For example, the substrate 41 may have a square structure, and four flexible wrist feet 42 are respectively distributed at four vertexes of the substrate 41. Alternatively, the substrate 41 may be square, circular or other structures, six flexible wrist feet 42 are circumferentially enclosed to form a circle, and an included angle between two adjacent flexible wrist feet 42 is 60 degrees.
As another example, the flexible catching means 4 may be a catching brush, the side of which for contact with target debris is provided with bristles. The capture brush is in local surface contact with the target fragments, so that complex overhanging structures on the surface of the target fragments can be avoided easily. And hard contact is converted into soft contact by the arrangement of the bristles.
Specifically, the number of catch brushes may be two or more, and when the number of catch brushes is two, the two catch brushes are spaced oppositely; when the number of the catch brushes is plural, the plural catch brushes are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. So set up, make the distribution of catching the brush more even, improve and catch the effect. The capture brush may be a hollow ring structure. Through setting up the capture brush into hollow annular structure, on the one hand, to generally being spherical or approximate spherical space debris structure, annular structure's capture brush can have a bigger area of contact with the space debris than platelike structure, and then makes fixed effect and racemization effect preferred. On the other hand, the capture brush of the ring-shaped mechanism can be suitable for space debris with complex shape structures, such as space debris with bulges or antennae and the like on the surface, and the bulges or antennae and the like can penetrate through the hollow of the ring-shaped structure, so that the contact between the capture brush and the space debris is not greatly interfered.
At least two kinds of bristles with different hardness are arranged on the inner wall of the capturing brush, and the bristles with different hardness are alternately distributed. Through setting up the different brush hair interval distribution of hardness, the cushioning effect of softer brush hair is fabulous, and harder brush hair can apply bigger resistance and improve racemization efficiency, can have the racemization efficiency of preferred, can avoid again producing great impact to space debris.

The video information of the target fragments is obtained through the video reconnaissance module, parameters such as the distance from the target fragments, the structures of the target fragments and the rotation conditions of the target fragments can be obtained, and then the telescopic mechanism 2, the synchronous turntable 3 and the flexible capturing mechanism 4 are guided to move.

After the capturing mechanism grasps the target fragments, the rotating torque of the target fragments can drive the space fragment clearing device to rotate along with the target fragments, the magnetic torquer is started, and the rotation of the combination of the target fragments and the space fragment clearing device is eliminated by utilizing the acting force generated by the earth magnetic field. The carrying mechanism can be a small satellite platform, the mass and the volume of the magnetic torquer are small, propellant is not consumed, and the magnetic torquer is well suitable for the small satellite platform.
