Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a latch device and the like from being damaged caused by cable cut in an artificial satellite separating device by connecting a loosely set cable with a specified length to both sides of cable cut part remaining a cable cutter part. CONSTITUTION:A loosely set cable 11 is connected to a cable 10 for restricting and operating each latch unit from the left side of the second cable guide 13a in the vicinity of the left side of a cable cutter 12 to the right side of the first cable guide 13c in the vicinity of the right side of the cable cutter remaining the part of blade (a) of the cable cutter 12 as it is without the connection. With the constitution, when the cable 10 is cut, it is by a fixed amount, whereby restriction of each latch unit is released and an artificial satellite is separated. At this time, both ends of the cable 10 is connected with the loosened cable 11, and thus the satellite does not fly away and damage on the latch units is prevented.

In the figure, a bracket 4 is screwed onto the outer periphery of the satellite separation unit body 02 directly below the separation plane A between the satellite O1 and the satellite separation unit body 02 on the rocket side. A pin port 6 passes through the pin bolt 6 almost perpendicularly to the machine axis, and a hook 3 is pivotally supported on the pin bolt 6 so as to be rotatable in a seesaw manner. The hook 3 is attached to the outer side of the end near the separation plane A, that is, the satellite separation part main body 0.
The outer side farthest from the machine axis of 2 has a hook engagement pressure 3a which is a seating surface substantially perpendicular to the machine axis, and is configured to engage with the latch engagement pressure 2a of the latch arm 2, which will be described later. has been done. The other end of the hook 3 is a cable receiver 3b which is a recess for locking the cable 10 on the outside when viewed from the machine axis.
This prevents the cable 10 from slipping when hooked up. At a position closer to the separation surface A than the hook 3, the bracket 4 is provided with a latch arm 2 rotatably supported by a pin bolt 5 substantially parallel to the pin bolt 6. Until the side has a latch engagement pressure 2a that can maintain the hook engagement pressure 3a of the hook 3 and the satellite 01 and the satellite separation unit main body 02 are separated,
Strictly speaking, until the cable 10 is cut, it is engaged with the hook engaging pressure 3a of the hook 3 as shown in the figure. The other end of the latch arm 2 is bent toward the satellite 01 side, and holds the satellite 01 almost parallel to the axis via an adjustment pole (2b) provided at its tip.
It is fixed in contact with the As shown in the figure, one end of a torsion spring 8 with a pin bolt 5 as an axis is hooked to the latch arm 2, and the other end is hooked to a bracket 4, so that the latch arm 2 is oriented in the direction of arrow T, that is, the adjustment bolt It works to always rotate the end where 2b is provided in the direction to move away from the satellite 01. Also, one end of a torsion spring 9 with the pin bolt 6 as its axis is hooked on the hook 3, and the other end is hooked on the bracket 4, so that the hook 3 is oriented in the direction of arrow T2, that is, in the latch engagement of the latch arm 2. It always acts in a direction to release the hook engaging pressure 3a from the combined pressure 2a. The function of this torsion spring 9 is restrained by the tensile force of the cable 10 hooked on the cable receiver 3a of the hook 3.

In the above, when the fuel of the rocket launched together with the satellite 01 is exhausted, the spent rocket is separated from the satellite 01 together with the satellite separation unit main body 02. Therefore,
First, a pyrotechnic device (not shown) of the coupling bolt/separation nut 03 is activated to release the coupling bolt. After all four connecting bolts are released, a cable cutter (not shown) is operated to cut the cable 10. Then, the hooks 3 of the four latch devices 1 are simultaneously released and rotated by the torsion spring 9 to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. It deviates from 2a. Then, the latch arm 2 is rotated to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure by the torque of the torsion spring 8, and all of the satellites 01 are released from the restraint. Next, the satellite separation unit main body 02 is quietly separated from the satellite 01 by retrothrust together with the rocket.
