Abstract

The invention relates to truss type foldable units and foldable supporting arms formed by the same and particularly to an elastic hinge driving truss type foldable unit and a foldable supporting arm. The elastic hinge driving truss type foldable unit and the foldable supporting arm aim at solving the problems that the existing hinged supporting arm is complicated in driving mechanism, large in folding size and low in repeated unfolding accuracy and accordingly the structural weight is greatly increased and the unfolding reliability is low. The elastic hinge driving truss type foldable unit comprises an upper frame, a lower frame, N elastic hinge type folding arms and N groups of drawing cable assemblies; the upper frame and the lower frame are arranged in a parallel mode; N vertexes of the upper frame and N vertexes of the lower frame are arranged in an upper and lower corresponding mode; every two corresponding vertex angles formed between the upper frame and the lower frame are supported through the corresponding elastic hinge type folding arm and can be connected with each other in a rotating mode; every group of drawing cable assembly is arranged at the diagonal position in a rectangular plane which is formed by the upper frame, the lower frame and the two corresponding adjacent elastic hinge type folding arms. The elastic hinge driving truss type foldable unit and the foldable supporting arm are applied to a satellite, a space station and a space probe.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a truss-type foldable unit and a foldable support arm composed of the truss-type foldable unit, in particular to a truss-type foldable unit driven by an elastic hinge and the truss-type foldable The foldable support arm composed of units belongs to a repeatable expandable mechanism in one-dimensional space. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of space communication, earth observation, deep space exploration, and manned spaceflight, the demand for large-scale, lightweight, and high-geometric stability aerospace space agencies has become very urgent, but limited by the volume of the rocket fairing Due to the limitation of space travel, it is necessary to design a space-expandable mechanism with a large expansion ratio, which is in a folded state during the transportation and launch stages, and unfolds into a working state after the spacecraft enters orbit. [0003] The space extension arm is mainly used to e...
