空间太阳能电站桁架对接机构设计与扰动分析

    Design and disturbance analysis of truss docking mechanism for space solar power station

    • 摘要: 针对空间太阳能电站桁架组装过程中对接机构结构尺寸较大及碰撞力较大等问题,设计了一种基于锥杆对接的柔性捕获锁紧机构。该机构采用弹簧杆替代传统刚性杆以降低接触力,并利用滑槽提高空间利用率与捕获锁紧的同步性。建立机构仿真模型并使用ADAMS分析不同机构参数,研究其在捕获过程中对接触力的影响。结果表明,在极限工况下,通过对相对摩擦系数、对接锥锥角、弹簧杆刚度以及对接速度等参数进行优化,可以有效降低对接过程中的接触力至4.5 N,实现低扰动对接。研究结果为空间太阳能电站的在轨组装提供了更大的灵活性,预期在未来的空间任务中发挥重要作用。

       

      Abstract: A flexible capture locking mechanism based on cone bar docking was designed to address the issues of large structural dimensions and high collision forces in the truss assembly process of space solar power station. This mechanism uses spring rods instead of traditional rigid rods to reduce contact forces, and utilizes sliding grooves to improve space utilization and synchronization of capture locking. A simulation model of the mechanism is established, and different parameters are analyzed using ADAMS to study their impact on contact forces during the capture process. Results show that under extreme conditions, optimizing parameters such as relative friction coefficient, cone angle of the docking cone, spring rod stiffness, and docking speed reduces the contact force during the docking process to 4.5 N, achieving low disturbance docking. The research results provide greater flexibility for the in-orbit assembly of space solar power plants and are expected to play an important role in future space missions.
