The driving mechanism of the embodiment is a motor and can drive the experimental mechanism connecting shaft to rotate. The interface board 2 may be provided with a plurality of motor mounting seats 24, and the main structure of the motor may be mounted on the motor mounting seats 24.
In the positioning and aligning device of this embodiment, when in use, the experiment module 43 can be mounted on the force-bearing bracket 3 for testing, for example, when in friction test, the experiment module 43 with a friction sample can be mounted on the force-bearing bracket 3 and contacted with the experiment tray 42 on the connecting shaft of the experiment mechanism. When the device is installed, first-stage position positioning is performed, the experimental module 43 is designed to be in a semi-open state, and an astronaut manually aligns a cone guide hole on the experimental module 43 with a cone guide pin arranged on the installation plate through visual observation. When the second butt joint surface of the bearing support is completely attached to the first butt joint surface of the interface board, the successful butt joint of the interface is indicated, and the bearing support and the interface board are fixed by using the loose screw.
Two-stage angle limiting is also performed in the assembly process: the clamping ring is limited through the height difference of the limiting ring in the free and compressed state, and then the initial butt joint angle of the experimental disc is controlled. The bearing support is a supporting unit, the experimental disc is firstly installed from a hole position above the bearing support, then a bearing, a clamping ring and a locking nut are sequentially installed below the bearing support, and the experimental disc and the clamping ring rotate together in a component mode and limit axial movement after the assembly is completed. Then the spring is arranged between the limiting ring and the bearing support and is fixed by the guide screw, and the aim of limiting the angle is fulfilled. When the bearing support is not in contact with the interface board, the limiting ring can be propped to the bottommost part under the action of the spring and limit with the clamping ring, and the rotation of the experiment tray can be limited in the state. When the bearing support is tightly attached to the interface plate, the limiting ring can be compressed into the accommodating groove in the bearing support, the clamping ring is not constrained in the screw avoidance hole of the interface plate, and the rotational freedom degree is unlocked.
Three-stage self-adaptive aligning: the self-adaptive aligning is carried out through the floating but non-falling characteristic of the floating coupler, so that the requirement on the assembly precision can be reduced, and the influence caused by eccentricity can be reduced. The experimental module is an on-orbit replacement unit, and in order to ensure that the coupling floating head cannot float out to become excessive in the assembly process, the experimental module must be designed to be in a non-falling structure. When the design is carried out, the base is connected with the floating head through the T-shaped groove, the degree of freedom is limited to slide along the radial direction only, then the motor shaft is inserted into the small assembly with the shaft avoiding hole in the middle, and the small assembly is fixed on the base through the jackscrew. In the assembly process, the effect that the motor shaft protrudes out of the height of the floating head and the gap between the shaft holes can be achieved, and the motor shaft can slide in a small range but cannot deviate from the shaft holes is achieved. The floating head is connected with the experimental disc in a straight groove and forms an included angle of 90 degrees, thus forming a separable and adjustable cross coupling.
The positioning and aligning device of the embodiment can firstly rely on the position positioning (primary positioning) of the cone guide pin, and then utilizes the angle limiting (secondary positioning) of the limiting ring and the self-adaptive aligning (tertiary positioning) of the coupling floating head to jointly act, thereby meeting the requirement of on-orbit replacement. In structural design, the safety and reliability of the internal butt joint part are ensured through angle limiting and self-adaptive aligning of the coupler, and spacecrafts only need to butt joint the external part through pin and hole matching, so that the steps of parts needing manual operation are reduced as much as possible and the difficulty is reduced to the minimum. The self-adaptive aligning is realized by radial displacement of the floating head of the coupler, and the axial butt joint is converted into radial butt joint, so that three-level positioning is realized.
The positioning and aligning device of the embodiment can install the driving mechanism on the interface board, install the experimental mechanism connecting shaft on the bearing support, the bearing support is detachably connected with the interface board, the driving mechanism and the experimental mechanism connecting shaft can be separated, an astronaut can replace an experimental module part component through extremely simple steps, and the replaced part component cannot be matched with the driving mechanism when being in butt joint again. And through setting up the floating shaft coupling, still have self-adaptation aligning function, the machining precision of each part of reduction very big. And through setting up snap ring and spacing ring cooperation, can also carry out the joint spacing to the experimental mechanism connecting axle that does not use to make, when with actuating mechanism dock after, can remove spacing, prevent to install and remove the rotation of in-process experimental module.
The embodiment also provides a positioning and aligning method, which is realized by adopting the positioning and aligning device and comprises the following steps: the force-bearing bracket 3 and the interface board 2 are roughly positioned, the connecting end of the experimental mechanism connecting shaft 4 is movably clamped into the floating coupler 7, then the force-bearing bracket 3 is pressed, the limiting ring 6 is hidden in the second butt joint surface under the extrusion of the first butt joint surface of the interface board 2, the clamping ring 5 is separated from the limiting ring 6 and is released from limiting, at the moment, the experimental mechanism connecting shaft 4 can freely rotate, and at the moment, the force-bearing bracket 3 and the interface board 2 are connected and fixed through the loosening-preventing screw 9.
According to the positioning and aligning method, due to the inconvenience brought by microgravity conditions, on-orbit operation is simple, convenient and few in steps, positioning and aligning are carried out by taking the positioning and aligning method as a concept, the used positioning and aligning device comprises an internal interface and an external interface, the internal interface can carry out self-adaptive aligning through a structure and carry out angle limiting on an initial state in the installation process, a spaceman only needs to directly fix a product after aligning a pin and a hole of the external interface by eyes, and the internal angle limiting can be automatically unlocked after the positioning and aligning device is installed in place.
