AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new design uses fibers instead of traditional metallic materials used on existing spacesuits frames. It achieves this by replacing some parts that were previously made from aluminum or steel with carbon reinforce plastic (CFRP) tubes. By doing these changes, it becomes lighter while still maintaining its strength compared to older designs. Additionally, there are fewer components needed due to the use of CFRP tube technology. Overall, this innovation results in improved performance and reduced weight of space vehicles without compromising their overall functionality.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to reducing the size and mass of structures used during launches into lighter ones that can be easily transportable without losing their strength due to environmental factors like temperature changes caused by solar radiation. Structures have been developed using metallic alloys instead of traditional compositions but they still require separate joining processes involving weldings and bolts. There has long existed a challenge in achieving both reduced weight, increased durability, improved manufacturers' ability to produce precise optically designed structures while maintaining cost effectiveness over conventional methods.

Abstract

The invention relates to composite material frames for spacecrafts such as satellites and the like. The problem to be solved is to provide a method for realizing a light-weight high-accuracy composite material frame, and the high-accuracy requirement on the installation of effective loads is met through processes. The device is characterized by mainly comprising rectangle cross section rod pieces[1], joints [2], joint spacers [3], joint bushing blocks [4] and rod built-in pieces [5] which are made of composite materials, wherein a frame main body consists of a certain number of rectangle cross section rod pieces [1] and joints [2] in the integral structure; the rod built-in pieces [5] are hinged in the rectangle cross section rod pieces [1]; the joint spacers [3] are hinged on the outer surfaces of the joints [2]; and the joint bushing blocks [4] are hinged inside the joints [2]. By the method, the problems of installation and supporting between the effective loads and bodies of the spacecrafts such as the satellites and the like are solved, the installation accuracy of the effective loads is effectively ensured, and the local rigidity requirement on the installation of the effective loads is met simultaneously; and the method has good effects of ensuring the machining stability of the integral structure and improving the applicability and the reliability of the structure.
