It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and therefore the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
A configuration method of a space curved surface foldable and unfoldable array mechanism based on Flasher folded paper comprises the following steps:
1) determining the array center, the array layer number, the array ring number and the shape of a space curved surface of the foldable array mechanism with the space curved surface, wherein a regular multi-prism base is adopted as the array center, such as a regular triangular prism, a regular quadrangular prism, a regular hexagonal prism, a regular octagonal prism, the array layer number N is more than or equal to 2, the array ring number M is more than or equal to 1, and a plane foldable array mechanism model based on Flasher folded paper is established as a reference according to the determined array center, array layer number and array ring number of the foldable array mechanism with the space curved surface, as shown in figure 1-2;
the method for establishing the planar foldable array mechanism model is applicable to the prior art, for example, the authors are ZirbelShannon A, Robert J.Lang et al, published Transactions of the A SM E: described in the literature of the integrating simulation and knowledge in organic-Based applied development Arrays, which is disclosed in the Journal of Mechanical Design.
2) Calculating to obtain the plane valley/peak of the crease on the central line of each folding and unfolding subarea of the plane array and the plane ridge peak of the connecting crease of the adjacent folding and unfolding subareas when the established plane folding and unfolding array mechanism model is in a fully unfolded state;
3) obtaining the radius and the spherical center of the spherical surface where the space curved surface is located, arranging the center of the plane foldable array mechanism model in the completely unfolded state at the spherical center of the space curved surface, and performing parallel projection towards the space curved surface, as shown in fig. 3, to obtain a series of curved surface array folding ridge vertexes corresponding to the flat folding ridge vertexes and a series of curved surface array folding valley/folding peak vertexes to be optimized corresponding to the flat folding valley/folding peak vertexes;
the obtained series of curved surface array crest points can be directly used as curved surface array crest points, and the obtained series of curved surface array crest points to be optimized are used as curved surface array crest points after the obtained series of curved surface array crest points to be optimized need to meet the optimization of folding geometric constraint and curved surface equation constraint.
As shown in fig. 4-5, the regular hexagonal prism base, the number of array layers being 4, and the number of array rings being 1 are taken as an example for illustration, and the regular hexagonal prism base comprises six foldable array units, each foldable array unit comprises four layers, wherein the first layer comprises two triangular folded sheets, and the other three layers comprise four triangular folded sheets.
In the figure, 101-106 are six foldable array unit partitions, 111-114 are four folding layers of a single partition 101, 115 is an inner triangular folding sheet crease, 116 is an inner middle line crease of the foldable array unit partition, 117 is an interlayer triangular folding sheet crease, and 118 is an inter-foldable array unit partition connecting crease.
When the foldable array units with the array ring number of 1 are folded along the central line crease, the central line crease is in the same direction, namely, the middle line crease is folded in the same direction;
as shown in fig. 6-7, taking a regular hexagonal prism base, an array layer number of 4, and an array ring number of 2 as an example for illustration, the array includes six foldable array units, where the foldable array unit with the array ring number of 2 is different from the foldable array unit with the array ring number of 1, in that the foldable array unit with the array ring number of 2 further includes a first ring and a second ring, after being folded, a connecting crease of the first ring and the second ring needs to be parallel to a bottom edge of the regular polygonal prism base, in order to satisfy the foldable characteristic thereof, a folding direction of a central line crease of the second ring is opposite to that of a central line of the first ring, and meanwhile, taking the central line crease of the second ring as a symmetry axis, triangular folding pieces at two sides are identical;
specifically, when the array ring number is 2, the foldable array unit is folded along the central line crease, the central line crease has two opposite directions, namely valley folding and peak folding, so that the height of the partitioned compact folded device is not gradually increased, and the function of controlling the folded loading height is achieved.
In the figure, 201 and 206 are six foldable array unit partitions, 211 is a first ring part of a single foldable array unit partition, 212 is a second ring part, 221 is a midline crease of the second ring, and 222 is a connecting crease of the first ring and the second ring; 301 and 302 are two triangular folded sheets in the first layer and 303 is a regular hexagonal prism base.
4) Calculating the distance from the valley-folding/peak-folding peak of the curved surface array to be optimized to the spherical surface, which satisfies the folding geometric constraint and the curved surface equation constraint, by adopting a numerical method, as shown in fig. 8-9, taking the distance as the fitting error of the feasible solution, and taking the solution with the minimum fitting error in all the feasible solutions as the peak of the valley-folding/peak-folding of the curved surface array;
5) and repeating the calculation for multiple times to obtain the vertex positions of all the curved array of the curved foldable array mechanism model, and completing the configuration of the curved foldable array mechanism model, as shown in fig. 10-11.
Further, the curved array valley/peak vertex to be optimized and two curved array ridge vertexes close to the curved array valley/peak vertex to be optimized on the same connecting folding line form a triangular folding sheet, and the folding geometric constraint required to be met by the curved array valley/peak vertex to be optimized includes:
an angle constraint, wherein the angle constraint defines that two triangular folded sheets having a common edge have two edges coinciding with each other after folding, the common edge being located on the midline fold;
the method comprises the steps of side length constraint, wherein the side length constraint limits one non-common side of a triangular folding sheet to coincide with a side edge of a regular polygon base after being folded, and the non-common side is the opposite side of an inner angle where a valley/peak vertex of a curved surface array to be optimized is located;
and (4) curved surface constraint, wherein the curved surface constraint to be optimized curved surface array valley folding/peak folding vertex is positioned on the determined space curved surface.
Specifically, fig. 8 illustrates the geometric constraints of a first layer of a single foldable array cell, wherein the first layer includes a first triangular folded sheet 301 and a second triangular folded sheet 302, which satisfy the following angular constraints:
Figure BDA0003114147810000081
the above-mentioned angle constraint ensures the side P 'of the first triangular folded piece'1,1,1P’1,2,1And side P 'of a second triangular folded piece'1,1,1P’1,2,1The folded parts are positioned on the same straight line;
meanwhile, the side length constraint which needs to be satisfied by the two is as follows:
||P’0,0,1P’1,1,1||cosβ1=a
in the above formula, a is the side length of the bottom edge of the base, and the combination angle relationship can ensure a side P'1,1,1P’1,2,1And side P'1,2, 1P’0,0,2After being folded, the folding edge can be superposed with the side edge of the base of the regular hexagonal prism, thereby realizing the tight folding.
Meanwhile, the two also need to satisfy the curved surface constraint, namely, the point to be solved (the valley point/peak point of the curved surface array to be optimized) in the unfolded state is on the spatial curved surface.
More specifically, FIG. 9 illustrates the geometric constraints of the second layer of the single foldable array unit, wherein the second layer comprises four triangular folded sheets, wherein the angular constraints that the four triangular folded sheets need to satisfy are:
Figure BDA0003114147810000082
the above angular constraint ensures the sides P 'of the two triangular folded sheets on either side of the line crease in the second layer'2,1,1P’2,2,1And P'2,2,1P’1,1,2Folded on the same straight line.
Meanwhile, the side length constraint which needs to be met is as follows:
||P’1,1,1P’2,1,1||cosβ2=a
guarantee two sides P'2,1,1P’2,2,1And P'2,2,1P’1,1,2And is positioned on the side edge of the regular hexagonal prism base 303 after being folded, so that the spatial curved surface foldable array mechanism can be folded around the side edge.
And simultaneously, the curved surface constraint is also met, namely the point to be required (the valley point/peak point of the curved surface array to be optimized) in the unfolding state is on the spatial curved surface.
When other layers after the second layer are designed, the geometrical constraint satisfied is similar to the second layer, and a detailed explanation is not provided here.
In this embodiment, when the number of the array rings is 2, the design constraint of the first ring part is the same as that of the array rings 2, and after the first ring and the second ring are folded, the connecting crease needs to be parallel to the bottom edge of the regular polygon base. In order to meet the folding characteristic, the folding direction of the middle line crease of the second ring is opposite to that of the middle line crease of the first ring, and meanwhile, the middle line crease of the second ring is taken as a symmetry axis, and the triangular folding pieces on the two sides are equal; furthermore, surface constraints still need to be satisfied. Therefore, when the whole space curved surface foldable array mechanism is unfolded, each vertex is positioned on the target curved surface, and curved surface fitting is well carried out; when folded, the first loop portion folds upward and the second loop portion folds downward, well limiting the array height in the folded position, as shown in the reverse fold region in fig. 11.
The spatial curved surface foldable and expandable array mechanism comprises a regular multi-prism base and a plurality of foldable and expandable array units, wherein the plurality of foldable and expandable array units are distributed on the periphery of the regular multi-prism base in an array mode.
The foldable array unit comprises a plurality of triangular folding pieces distributed based on a Flasher paper folding mechanism, wherein a double-freedom-degree flexible hinge with twisting and displacement functions is arranged on a crease positioned at the side edge of the regular polygon prism base after being folded, and a single-freedom-degree flexible hinge with twisting function is arranged at other creases.
In the engineering application of the curved surface foldable array, because each triangular folding sheet has thickness and the curved surface foldable array is unfolded into a fitting curved surface, the curved surface foldable array needs to be tightly wound around a regular polygon base when being folded, and the performance requirements of the flexible hinges at different positions are different, as shown in fig. 12, the foldable array unit partitions are provided with an inner central line crease 116 (a central line crease 221 of a second ring), foldable array unit partitions are connected with creases 118 among themselves, and a first ring and a second ring are connected with creases 222 to be folded completely, I-type flexible hinges only with torsion functions are used at the positions, the inner triangular folding sheet creases 115 are only slightly bent when being folded, I-type flexible hinges only with torsion functions are also used at the positions, the interlayer triangular folding sheets 117 are positioned at the edges of a regular hexagon when being folded, and the thickness of the folded triangular folding sheets needs to be adapted, in addition to requiring torsion and also stretching to create a gap, these connections use type II flex hinges 402 that provide both torsion and displacement.
Two different flexible hinges are used at different crease positions, so that the curved surface fitting shape can be kept when the curved surface foldable array is unfolded, and the curved surface foldable array is tightly wound around the regular hexagonal prism base when being folded.
Compared with a plane Flasher model, the spatial curved surface foldable array mechanism in the embodiment has the capability of fitting a curved surface after being unfolded, so that a curved surface array is obtained after being unfolded; all the folding sheets in the layers are triangular folding sheets (the plane Flasher model consists of triangular folding sheets and quadrilateral folding sheets) so that the curved surface folding array can better fit a target curved surface; after the flat flash model is tightly folded, the lower edges of all the partitions are gradually raised on the regular hexagonal prism, and the lower edges of all the partitions of the flat flash model are positioned at the same height (positioned at the lower edge of the base of the regular hexagonal prism).
Correspondingly, the space curved surface foldable and extensible array mechanism which takes other regular polygonal prisms as bases besides the curved surface foldable array which takes the regular hexagonal prism as the base can also be designed.
The above mentioned matters are not related, and all the matters are applicable to the prior art.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention, and it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
