A flexible capture connection device and capture connection method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible capture connection device and a capture connection method thereof. The device includes: active and passive capture connection units; the active capture connection unit includes: an upper link, a flange, a ball head shaft, a leaf spring, and a capture rod , guide head and lock tongue, the upper connecting rod is connected with the ball end of the ball shaft through the flange; the leaf spring is in a pre-tightened state and connected between the ball shaft and the flange; the ball shaft is connected with the catch rod ; The capture rod is connected to the guide head; the lock tongue is arranged on the outside of one end of the capture rod close to the guide head; the passive capture connection unit includes: a tapered mouth, a locking hook, and the locking hook is arranged at the tapered end of the tapered mouth; When catching, the guide head enters the tapered mouth, and the locking hook contacts and presses the dead bolt. The method includes: the guide head enters the tapered opening; the lock tongue and the lock hook produce collision and capture; the lever rotates to trigger the sensor; the active capture connecting unit moves upward, and the lock tongue and the lock hook contact and press. The device and method have the advantages of simple structure, small mass and large capture range.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention involves the aerospace field, which specializes in a flexible capture connection device and its capture connection method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of space agencies, whether the two aircraft can achieve reliable capture and connection directly affect the establishment of the space station.However, due to the influence of the space environment and the control accuracy of the institution, the two aircraft must be captured and connected in an environment where position deviations and vibrations are large.Precision and timely reset requirements. [0003] In the existing institutions used to capture connections, there are general problems such as complicated structures (such as docking mechanisms), large quality and volume, small capture range, low connection and low ability. Invention content [0004] In response to the problems existing in the existing technologies, the present invention proposes a flexible captu...
