The invention provides a small butt locking device for a space. The small butt locking device comprises a diving mechanism installed on a space
station and a shell installed on a space test load. The diving mechanism comprises a fame, a positioning pin installation plate A, a coarse positioning pin A, a fine positioning pin A, a
face detection switch A, a heating device, a motor, a temperature sensor, a speed
reducer, a positioning pin installation plate B, a speed
reducer support, a coarse positioning pin B, a
face detection switch B, a fine positioning pin B, a
potentiometer, a
coupling, a
potentiometer support, a
pinion, a sliding guide bush, an
optical axis, a bull gear, a screw, a fine positioning pin C, a
face detection switch C, a positioning pin installation plate C, a locking detection switch, a drive rack, an unlocking detection switch, a switch installation plate, a face detection switch D, a locking pin A, a locking pin B, a floating connector socket and a nut. The small butt
locking mechanism for the space is miniature and lightweight, and an astronaut does not need to participate in operation.
