Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. The invention creatively provides a rotary damper capable of realizing self-adaptive adjustment of damping force according to the change of the rotation speed/acceleration of a rotating mechanism under a passive condition. The friction damping is a traditional mechanical braking principle, mechanical energy is converted into internal energy through friction resistance of a contact surface, and the friction damper is widely applied in the field of mechanical engineering due to the characteristics of simple structure, strong energy consumption capability, no influence of load frequency and the like. The invention realizes self-adaptive feedback adjustment, adopts a pure mechanical structure, does not need to consider the problem of liquid leakage, has small temperature influence, low loss coefficient and high reliability.
2. The friction energy dissipation device mainly goes through two states of adhesion and sliding in operation, and the energy dissipation braking effect mainly depends on normal pressure and the friction coefficient of a contact surface. According to the invention, as the rotation angular speed of the unfolding mechanism is increased, the normal pressure of the damping block and the friction sleeve is also increased, so that the friction damping is increased, and the rotation angular acceleration is reduced.
3. Because the unfolding of the sailboard of the spacecraft is mostly low-speed rotation motion within 180 degrees of a half rotation period, a speed increasing gear mechanism is needed before a plurality of rotation dampers, especially the traditional mechanical friction dampers, are needed to amplify the fluctuation of the speed, and the structural size and the weight are greatly increased. The invention amplifies the fluctuation of the speed/speed by the action of the magnetic force between the permanent magnets and the inertia force of the device or the action of the ball extrusion force and the inertia force of the device and adjusts the speed by the change of the friction force, thereby greatly reducing the weight of the structure.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the magnetic damping block 4 is provided with a contact angle 41, damping change is regulated by regulating the squeezing degree between the contact angle 41 and the fixed friction outer sleeve 2, wherein the contact angle 41 is positioned at one end of the outer side surface of the magnetic damping block 4, the other end of the inner side surface of the magnetic damping block 4 is hinged at the corner of the central rotor 5, and the design of the structure ensures that the contact angle 41 has a larger space movable range when the magnetic damping block 4 rotates around the hinged end, and a larger regulating space is provided for regulating damping between the contact angle 41 and the fixed friction outer sleeve 2.
The first arc plate 32 and the second arc plate 33 are connected and fixed through the supporting frame 34, a through hole is formed in the center of the supporting frame 34 and used for allowing the supporting shaft 35 to penetrate through, the two arc plates are fixed on the supporting shaft 35 through the supporting frame 34, and the supporting shaft 35 can rotate to drive the first arc plate 32 and the second arc plate 33 to rotate simultaneously through the supporting frame 34.
In practical applications, in order to reduce the weight of the whole damper, the design of the central rotor 5 is designed to be a structure with smaller weight as much as possible on the premise of meeting the volume and the supporting strength, for example, the longitudinal section of the central rotor 5 is designed to be an hourglass structure with two triangular fixed points connected in fig. 2, and for example, the central rotor 5 can also be designed to be a partially hollowed structure.
In this embodiment, two ends of the fixed friction outer sleeve 2 are respectively connected with the rear end cover 1 and the front end cover 7 through bolts in a matching way, the front end cover 7 is connected with one of the sailboards or the antennas of the unfolding component through a preset interface to serve as a fixing piece, the driving input rotor 3 and the central rotor 5 are concentrically matched with each other through a second bearing 9, when no magnetic force is applied and the driving input rotor 3 is fixed, the central rotor 5 can freely swing in a gap range, two ends of the driving input rotor 3 are respectively matched with the rear end cover 1 and the front end cover 7 through a first bearing 8 and a third bearing 10 to enable the two ends of the driving input rotor 3 to concentrically rotate, and a part of the supporting shaft 35 of the driving input rotor 3 extending out of the rear end cover 1 is connected with the other sailboard or the antenna of the unfolding component to serve as a moving piece.
As shown in fig. 2, two ends of the central rotor 5 are further connected with two magnetic friction damping blocks 4 through a connecting pin 6 and an elastic hinge, the magnetic damping blocks 4 are provided with a pair of permanent magnets and contact angles 41 at the ends, the permanent magnets of the magnetic damping blocks 4 and the permanent magnets at the ends of the driving input rotor 3 generate interaction force, the force is balanced in a relative balance state, when the positions are relatively changed, the magnetic damping blocks 4 are subjected to unbalanced magnetic force, the contact angles 41 at the ends of the magnetic damping blocks 4 are in contact with the fixed friction sleeve 2, friction damping force is generated in the movement process, and meanwhile, the elastic hinge is adopted, so that the magnetic damping blocks 4 can be smoothly retracted when in over damping caused by contacting with the inner wall of the fixed friction sleeve 2, and the situation of excessive friction damping is reduced.
The working process and principle of the embodiment are as follows:
The shell sleeve is connected with one sailboard or antenna to be used as a fixed part, the driving input rotor 3 is connected with the other sailboard or antenna to be used as a movable part through the supporting shaft 35, when the sailboard or antenna is unfolded, the driving input rotor 3 is driven to rotate relative to the fixed friction outer sleeve 2, when the rotation angular speed of the driving input rotor 3 is constant, the relative positions of the driving input rotor 3 and the central rotor 5 are balanced under the combined action of magnetic force and contact angle 41 and friction torque of the fixed friction outer sleeve 2, when the driving input rotor 3 is accelerated in rotation, the relative positions of the driving input rotor 3 and the central rotor 5 are changed, the balance is broken, under the action of magnetic force, the magnetic damping block 4 generates a tendency of 'everting', the contact angle 41 at the end part and the friction damping sleeve 2 are increased, so that the friction damping force is increased, the magnetic damping block 4 counteracts the driving input rotor 3 to receive a reverse damping torque, so that the rotation speed is reduced, when the driving input rotor 3 is decelerated in rotation, the relative positions of the driving input rotor 3 and the central rotor 5 are changed, the relative positions of the magnetic force and the elastic hinge block 4 generates a positive angle 'under the action of the magnetic force and the elastic hinge' at the connection of the central rotor 5 and the magnetic damping block 4 are reduced, so that the friction force is reduced, and the damping force is reduced, and the friction speed is reduced.
It should be noted that, the contact angle 41 at the end of the magnetic damping block 4 and the positive pressure of the fixed friction sleeve 2 are key to the adjustment of damping force, and the positive pressure is mainly related to the relative positional relationship/motion state of the driving input rotor 3 and the magnetic damping block 4, the centrifugal force of the structure itself, and the like, so that the whole system model is simplified, the magnetic damping block 4 is subjected to stress analysis, and the expansion speed of the sailboard/antenna can be relatively stabilized on a design value by designing and adjusting the dimensional material parameters of each structure, so as to reduce speed fluctuation and impact load.
Example 3:
This embodiment is a modification of embodiment 1.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, 6, 7 and 8, a plurality of slots 31 and balls 11 located in the slots 31 are symmetrically arranged on the end face of the driving input rotor 3, the side of the central rotor 5 facing the driving input rotor 3 is provided with a pin stand 51 inserted into the slots 31, when the pin stand 51 is inserted into the slots 31, the balls 11 still have a movable gap, the bottom face of the slots 31 has a slope, so that the balls 11 can displace in the slots 31 due to the change of the rotation speed of the driving input rotor 3, thereby changing the posture of the central rotor 5, and changing the damping between the central rotor 5 and the fixed friction outer sleeve 2.
Specifically, the notch 31 is configured to have a tunnel in the middle and a slope connecting both sides of the tunnel, and the movement of the balls 11 to the slope presses the central rotor 5 to thereby change the posture of the central rotor 5. The central rotor 5 extends in the circumferential direction with a plurality of pointed structures and the outside of the pointed structures protruding to the edge of the drive input rotor 3 in the radial direction is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed friction outer sleeve 2 and the pressing force between the pointed structures and the fixed friction outer sleeve 2 is different due to the difference in the posture of the central rotor 5.
The present embodiment differs from embodiment 2in the principle of operation in that the adjustment of the damping torque in the present embodiment achieves a change in the relative position of the drive input rotor 3 and the friction damping rotor 5 by the moving pressing of the balls 11. Similarly, through the concentric cooperation of the second bearing 9, the end face of the friction damping rotor 5 is provided with a pin block 51 inserted into the notch 31 at a position corresponding to the notch 31, but a certain gap is left, in a free state, the friction damping rotor 5 swings within the limit range of the notch 31, and meanwhile, each notch 31 is provided with a ball 11 with a size slightly smaller than the gap between the notch 31 and the pin block 51, as shown in fig. 8. With the change of the rotational angular velocity or the angular acceleration, the balls 11 displace in the tunnel, and squeeze the friction damping rotor 5 at the slope, so that the relative pose of the friction damping rotor 5 is changed, and the pointed structure of the friction damping rotor 5 and the positive pressure of the fixed friction sleeve 2 are changed, and the friction damping moment is changed, and the specific mechanism of adjustment is similar to that of the rotary damper in embodiment 2, except that the acting force between magnetic poles is converted into the acting force of the balls 11 in direct contact with and squeeze between structures in the notch 31. The damper can be designed to relatively stabilize the speed of deployment of the windsurfing/antenna at a design value by adjusting the dimensional material parameters of each structure and the relative dimensions of the notches 31 and balls 11, thereby reducing speed fluctuations and impact loads.
The invention can realize self-adaptive adjustment according to the rotation angular speed and/or angular acceleration of the rotating part without energy input, control the speed according to the requirement, reduce the impact when locking in place, amplify the speed fluctuation under the low-speed condition by magnetic force or ball extrusion, thereby realizing self-adaptive feedback adjustment, and has the advantages of low temperature influence, low loss coefficient and high reliability without considering the problem of liquid leakage by using a pure mechanical structure.
