Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of landing attachment of small celestial body detectors in the technical field of deep space exploration, and particularly relates to a controllable thorn claw attachment grabbing mechanism for small celestial body exploration and a working method.
Background
With the rapid development of aerospace technology and space science, the interest of human beings in outer space exploration is continuously improved, and the range is wider and wider. Nowadays, exploration targets of various countries are not limited to large stars such as moon, mars and the like, but small stars such as asteroids, comets, meteors and the like also become important points for deep space exploration of various spatial countries. Research shows that the small celestial bodies retain important information in the early solar system origin, formation and evolution, are 'activating stones' for researching the solar system origin and have important scientific value; small celestial bodies may contain a large amount of rare minerals and metals, and these resources can provide great economic value for part of space agencies and companies; meanwhile, the small celestial body near the earth also has a certain risk of striking the earth. Therefore, the detection of small celestial bodies has very important significance.
The small celestial body detection lander is the most direct and effective tool for detecting small celestial bodies. The detector landing attachment technology is a key technology in a small celestial body detection task and is related to success or failure of the task. Different from moon and mars, the small celestial body surface is small in size, a large-area flat area is lacked on the surface, the attractive force is very weak, the escape speed is low, and the factors make stable attachment on the small celestial body surface very challenging.
At present, countries such as the United states, Europe, Japan and the like have successfully launched a plurality of small celestial body detectors, wherein the Japanese falcon number adopts an instantaneous contact method to realize the sampling detection of the surface of the small celestial body, but does not land; only the Rosetta Filey lander of the European Bureau realizes real landing and positioning detection. From the view of the development and utilization requirements of celestial body resources, long-term attachment plays an important role in subsequent tasks, and surface multipoint sampling detection can enlarge the detection range of the tasks and improve the return of the tasks. However, most of the emitted small celestial body detectors adopt an anchoring attachment mode, can only collect samples at anchoring positions, cannot sample multiple points, can only realize single attachment, cannot meet the requirement of diversity of small celestial body detection tasks, and limits further expansion of small celestial body detection.
The research on the attachment technology of the wall-climbing robot at home and abroad can provide a new solution for the attachment problem of the small celestial body. The wall-climbing robots RISE, spine-bot series and the like developed by Stanford university and JPL adopt the bionic flexible micro-barb technology to provide enough adhesive force for the robots to climb rocks. Because the bionic claw-thorn surface inspection device can be used in microgravity and vacuum environments of small celestial bodies, a claw-thorn grabbing and attaching technology based on a bionic concept is increasingly applied to small celestial body detectors, a new concept landing and attaching system for surveying the surfaces of the small planets is provided by the Beijing space electromechanical research institute in China, a claw-thorn attaching device in a small planet microgravity surface inspection mechanism disclosed in patent 106742016 adopts a bionic beetle-like micro-thorn and bristle dry adhering and grabbing technology, a single micro-thorn has strong attaching force, however, the whole micro-thorn is made of a rigid material, and due to the unevenness of the surfaces of the small celestial bodies, the insufficient attaching flexibility is easily caused by the fact that part of the claw-thorn cannot be attached; the grabbing joint has only one degree of freedom and the attachment range is limited.
The specific form of the small celestial body detector attached in the microgravity environment by adopting the bionic claw-thorn grabbing and attaching technology is still explored, and the existing technology still has defects, so that the existing technology needs to be improved.
