Point type microsatellite separation unlocking device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a satellite and carrier rocket separation unlocking device, in particular to a point type microsatellite separation unlocking device.
Background
Since the 20 th century and the 80 th century, with the rapid development of technologies such as microelectronics, micromachines, precision machining, light materials, high-efficiency energy and the like, the miniaturization of instruments and equipment required on satellites is promoted, the modern satellite technology is developing towards the direction of shorter period, lower cost, smaller volume and stronger flexibility, and the development of microsatellites is rapidly rising worldwide. The unlocking separation technology, which is one of the key technologies of the satellite, is a core technology related to successful launching and normal orbit entering of the satellite, and has an important influence on the overall performance of the satellite. Therefore, the unlocking and separating device with small separating impact and high reliability has important significance.
The satellite separation unlocking device is a mechanism device which can reliably connect a satellite and a rocket and can realize reliable separation of the satellite and the rocket after the satellite and the rocket enter the orbit, and plays an important role in satellite projects. At present, the separation of the traditional satellite and the carrier rocket in the world usually adopts a separation mode of combining straps and explosive bolts. The separation technology is mature and is widely applied to large satellites. However, as the size and the weight of the satellite become smaller and smaller, the traditional belt locking device cannot meet the launching separation requirement of the microsatellite. Moreover, the separation mechanism based on the explosive bolt can generate large uncertain impact force at the moment of explosion of the explosive bolt and some uncontrolled fragments, which can bring certain damage to the satellite to be separated and the adapter of the rocket. Particularly, in the process of launching one rocket multi-satellite, other satellites can be damaged.
In order to overcome the technical limitations of the initiating explosive device compressing and releasing device and meet the compressing and releasing requirements of the next generation of spacecraft high-precision equipment, the novel non-initiating explosive compressing and releasing device which is low in impact, free of pollution and capable of being repeatedly used is rapidly developed in nearly thirty years. According to the driving source difference, can compress tightly release with non-priming sytem and divide into: fuse wire (fuse wire), hot knife (thermal knife), paraffin (paraffin) and shape memory alloy compression release devices. The fuse device cannot be reset quickly, and can be reused only by replacing components or returning to a factory for reassembly; the paraffin device has large volume, long release time and large energy consumption; the hot knife device has small bearing capacity, long release time and large energy consumption. Compared with the prior art, the compressing and releasing device based on the shape memory alloy has the technical characteristics of large bearing capacity, quick release, low power consumption, low impact, resettability and no pollution, is one of the most technical advantages of the compressing and releasing device for the non-explosive work pieces, and is also a research hotspot internationally in recent years.
The memory alloy is used as an actuating element on the separation release mechanism, and works outwards by utilizing the deformation restoring force and the stroke generated by the phase change of the memory alloy. There are generally 3 forms of memory alloy elements: memory alloy rod, memory alloy silk and memory alloy spring. The successful memory alloy actuators that have been studied are based on these 3 elements to achieve the separation function. The memory alloy actuator has the advantages of safety, low impact, reusability and the like, can replace part of initiating explosive devices used on a spacecraft separation mechanism, is suitable for occasions without strict limitation on separation time, but is not suitable for mechanisms requiring large stress and displacement. At present, the research on the aspect is carried out in China, and some products enter the engineering verification stage, so that the method has wide application prospect on small and micro-satellite spacecrafts and the like in the future.
The electromagnetic lock device has a good prospect in the field of aerospace. The electromagnetic lock device adopts a power-off electromagnet which is equivalent to a permanent magnet before being electrified, the metal block can be attracted by magnetism, after the electromagnet is electrified, a power-on coil generates a magnetic field opposite to the magnetism of the permanent magnet, so that the magnetic field of the permanent magnet is counteracted, the metal block cannot be attracted by the power-off electromagnet, and the power-off electromagnet can be applied to some unlocking devices by matching with some structures.
