Description

Solar sail attitude adjustment actuator, solar sail assembly and spacecraft
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar sail spacecrafts, in particular to a solar sail attitude adjusting actuator, a solar sail assembly and a spacecraft.
Background
As the flying distance of the spacecraft gets longer, the on-orbit task time becomes longer, which means that the spacecraft propelled by the traditional reaction force needs to carry more working medium and energy during launching, thereby causing the launching quality of the spacecraft to be increased along with the launching quality, and further increasing the difficulty and cost of the launching stage.
In recent years, solar sails have been attracting attention as a new type of spacecraft propulsion means; the spacecraft obtains propulsion through solar pressure generated by the carried large-area light-weight thin-film solar sail, the solar sail propulsion technology does not need to depend on the injection consumption of the propellant any more, and the cost and difficulty of the spacecraft launching can be reduced.
However, the attitude adjustment of the solar sail is currently controlled by a conventional motor, for example, as shown in fig. 1, which is a solar sail spacecraft structure with a control airfoil, and 4 small triangular solar sails as control airfoils 104 are mounted at the tail ends of structural rods 102 of the solar sail, and can be driven by the motor to rotate around the structural rods 102, and when the control airfoils 104 are rotated to a proper angle, the sunlight pressure acting on the control airfoils 104 is used to generate the light pressure control moment required for the three-axis attitude control of the spacecraft.
The attitude adjustment of the existing solar sail is controlled by a traditional motor, the traditional motor is large in weight, and meanwhile, the traditional motor has more problems. Firstly, in the operation process of the traditional motor, due to factors such as electromagnetic induction, resistance and the like, a plurality of energy losses such as resistance loss, iron loss, friction loss and the like are generated, and the energy losses can cause the reduction of the energy utilization efficiency of the traditional motor; secondly, the efficiency of the traditional motor under different loads is different, the efficiency is generally lower under low load and higher under full load, so that the energy utilization efficiency of the traditional motor can be influenced by load variation; furthermore, the conventional motor needs an external power supply to supply power to normally operate, but the stability of the external power supply also affects the energy utilization efficiency of the conventional motor.
Therefore, the traditional motor has the problems of higher fault rate, lower precision, smaller load, larger energy consumption and the like, and is not suitable for the solar sail inter-planet detection task with long task period and high attitude control precision requirement.

Example 1
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, there is provided a solar sail posture adjustment actuator in the present embodiment, including: the deformation layer is used for being laid on the back of the solar sail, and the deformation layer can deform to drive the solar sail to move, so that self-posture adjustment of the solar sail is achieved.
In the embodiment, the solar sail is driven to move through the deformation of the deformation layer, so that the posture of the solar sail is adjusted, the use of a traditional motor is eliminated, the accuracy of the posture control of the solar sail is greatly improved, energy is saved, the load born by the solar sail is also improved, and the failure rate is greatly reduced; moreover, compared with the prior art, the solar sail attitude control is performed through four triangular control wing surfaces, and the controllable angle range is improved.
In this embodiment, the deformation layer may be selected according to specific working requirements, for example, the deformation layer may be a piezoelectric fiber sheet, preferably an MFC (Macro Fiber Composite, macroscopic fiber composite material) piezoelectric fiber sheet, and the deformation of the piezoelectric fiber sheet is controlled by the driver, so as to drive the solar sail to move, and realize attitude control of the solar sail.
In the embodiment, an SMA-SMP two-way deformation material is preferably used as a deformation layer, and solar sail structure modeling and solar sail stress simulation based on Matlab and Simulink are performed simultaneously based on Solidworks; specifically, the deformation layer mainly comprises an SMA (shape memory alloys, shape memory alloy) piece and an SMP (shape memory polymer ) material layer 2, wherein the SMA piece is preferably an SMA rod 1, and the SMA rods 1 are preferably laid on two sides of the SMP material layer 2 to form an SMA-SMP actuator; and the memory property of the SMA rod 1 is U-shaped, the memory property of the SMP material layer 2 is rectangular, the solar sail posture adjusting actuator further comprises a heating device, and the deformation layer can deform after being heated by the heating device, as shown in figures 2-4.
In this embodiment, the heating device mainly includes a power supply and a heating element, where the SMA rod 1 is electrically connected to the power supply, and the SMA rod 1 is electrically heated by the power supply, and the heating element is disposed in the SMP material layer 2 and is used to heat the SMP material layer 2; the SMP material layer 2 is heated by the heating element and then has reduced hardness, the SMA rod 1 is electrified and then heated to deform, the SMP material layer 2 with reduced hardness is driven to deform, and after the deformation is completed, the SMP material layer is heated to the transition temperature to be capable of recovering the original state.
In this embodiment, the heating device is preferably a heating wire, and the heating wire is electrically connected to the power supply.
In this embodiment, the SMA rods 1 on two sides are respectively disposed in an elastic material layer, and the two elastic material layers are respectively laid on two sides of the SMP material layer 2; as a preferred embodiment, the elastic material layer is a Veroclear elastic material layer, wherein Veroclear (photosensitive resin) is a rigid, nearly colorless material, has higher dimensional stability, and is suitable for conventional use, well-defined modeling and visual simulation of transparent thermoplastic materials (such as PMMA); alternatively, other layers of elastomeric material may be selected according to specific operational needs.
In the embodiment, the SMA-SMP actuator realizes a driving function by utilizing the shape memory effect of an SMA material; SMA rod 1 is preloaded and mounted in a resilient layer of Veroclear elastomer material and mounted on both sides of SMP material layer 2, while heating wires (preferably resistance heating wires) are also mounted in SMP material layer 2. During the deformation process, the SMP material layer 2 is first heated by the heating wire and softened, it is changed from a glassy state (high rigidity) to a rubbery state (low rigidity), then, the current input to the heating wire is stopped, the SMA rod 1 is energized and heated, shrinkage occurs based on the shape memory effect of itself, and the SMA rod 1 remains in the driving state until the SMP material layer 2 is cooled to the high-rigidity glassy state. When the SMA rod 1 is heated, the surrounding Veroclear material is also heated, and the hardness decreases, thereby being compressed.
In this embodiment, in the above manner, the SMA-SMP actuator bends sideways and drives the deformation of the solar sail; after the deformation is completed, the SMP material layer 2 is firstly stopped to be heated and hardened, and when the SMP material layer 2 is hard enough, the SMA rod 1 is stopped to be heated, and the deformation is completed; at this time, the solar sail deployment actuator maintains the deformed shape due to the high stiffness of the SMP material layer 2.
Finally, current is applied to the heating wire again, the SMP material layer 2 is heated to a transition temperature, the SMP material layer 2 is restored to a memory shape, and then cooled, thereby realizing the shape restoration of the solar sail posture adjustment actuator.
In the embodiment, the SMA-SMP bidirectional deformation intelligent material is adopted to replace the traditional motor-driven solar sail, and the SMA rod 1 can be trained into a temporary elongated shape under the combination of thermal load and mechanical load and then contracted to restore the original shape; this is caused by the transformation between the martensite phase at low temperature and the austenite phase at high temperature.
The SMA-SMP actuator is formed by printing a rigid SMP material layer 2 and an elastic soft layer (Veroclear elastic material and an SMA rod 1 in the elastic soft layer); shape retention and recovery stiffness adjustment are achieved using layers 2 of embedded SMP material of different thickness, the temperature in the deformation zone being controlled by heating with heating wires to transition it from a high stiffness state at room temperature to a low stiffness state at high temperature. When the SMP material layer 2 is in a low stiffness state, actuation of the SMA rod 1 causes a large bending deformation of the deformation region; the shape memory of the SMP material layer 2 is also able to recover its original shape at high temperatures.
The present example measured various properties of SMA-SMP actuators, including bending stiffness and maximum deflection, to show versatility of multi-material 3D printing; finite element models have also been developed to determine important actuation parameters, including shape fixation and recovery.
In this embodiment, the SMP material layer 2 may be returned to its original shape by heating to a particular transition temperature, which may be the glass transition temperature or the crystalline melting temperature of the polymer; the deformation of the SMP material layer 2 into the desired shape is achieved by a specific thermo-mechanical process, which typically begins above the transition temperature. While maintaining this deformed state, the SMP material layer 2 cools below the transition temperature; during cooling, the SMP material layer 2 becomes more rigid due to vitrification or crystallization, thereby maintaining the shape unchanged.
In this embodiment, by combining SMA and SMP, an active composite material can be produced that can recover with a large force at high temperature, retain its deformed shape at low temperature, recover its deformed shape, and withstand a large load, and from which a reversible actuator can be produced.
Due to the characteristics of the SMA-SMP, the SMA-SMP is used in a solar sail attitude adjusting actuator, so that the actuator with a complex shape can be manufactured according to different task requirements, and a traditional motor is limited by a structure; also, the energy conversion efficiency of the composite material is high, so that the energy conversion rate of mechanical energy and electric energy of the actuator is high. Meanwhile, the SMA-SMP is applied to the solar sail, so that the structure is light in weight and high in strength, and the operation efficiency of the whole system is improved. The same sample embodiment carries out self-posture adjustment through the area change of the whole solar sail, the change area is increased, and the controllable posture change range can be enlarged.
In summary, the solar sail posture adjustment actuator in the embodiment is an intelligent structure based on intelligent material SMA-SMP, and achieves the aim of self posture adjustment control of the solar sail through the two-way deformation function and three-axis posture control of the intelligent material, so that the accuracy of posture control is greatly improved, energy is saved, the load borne by the solar sail is improved, and the failure rate is greatly reduced; moreover, compared with the technical scheme that the attitude control is performed through four triangular control wing surfaces in the prior art, the triangular control wing surface has smaller light receiving area and smaller controllable angle range, and the controllable attitude change range can be enlarged.
