A cushioning/walking integrated lander

Abstract

The invention discloses a buffer and walking integrated landing device. Several buffer and walking integrated mechanisms are installed on the side wall of the landing device, and each buffer and walking integrated mechanism includes a body connecting plate assembly, a mechanical leg assembly, a buffering and driving integrated primary vibration reducer, buffering and driving integrated auxiliary vibration reducers, a knee joint locking device and a foot pad. Each body connecting plate assembly has the degree of freedom on medial rotation and lateral rotation; each mechanical leg assembly has the degree of freedom on the external swinging, retraction, anteflection and backward extension of hip joints, the stretching and bending of knee joints and the like; each buffering and driving integrated primary vibration reducer, each left buffering and driving integrated auxiliary vibration reducer, and each right buffering and driving integrated auxiliary vibration reducer achieve buffering or driving between the corresponding mechanical leg assembly and the corresponding body connecting plate assembly; the knee joint locking devices achieve flexible movement. The buffer and walking integrated landing device makes up for the shortcomings of a current movable landing device in the aspects of movement flexibility, use convenience and the like, and is extremely excellent in landing device body posture control capability and obstacle surmounting capability in the movement process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of buffer mechanisms in the aerospace technology field, and specifically refers to a buffer / walking integrated lander. Background technique [0002] Interplanetary exploration includes not only soft landings, but also deeper scientific investigations on the surface of alien bodies. With the continuous deepening of these detection activities, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the attitude of the buffered lander body and the surface range of the detectable alien body. [0003] The traditional interplanetary lander is fixed at the landing point after the landing buffer, and the expansion of the detection range can only be realized by releasing the patrol device it carries. Therefore, when there are unfavorable conditions such as uneven terrain in the landing area, unsatisfactory attitude after landing, or the landing of the lander's buffer legs on the surface of the alien body, the lander that...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, there are some shortcomings in the above schemes: the above two schemes can only drive the buffer pillars to expand and retract, and the movement flexibility in posture adjustment and walking is average; the length of the buffer pillars in the former is unknown and uncertain after buffering. That is, the impact of buffering on the kinematics of the whole machine is unpredictable, and the design of separating the buffering parts from the driving parts in this scheme is not easy to transplant to other landers; only the main pillar of the latter has the buffering function , the auxiliary strut is a single function screw nut driver

This scheme can realize the attitude control of the upper platform equipped with various sensors and other payloads, but cannot move the position of the lander after buffering

[0008] In summary, the currently known landers with attitude adjustment and walking functions have deficiencies such as unstable and uncontrollable kinematics characteristics of the whole machine after buffering, low movement flexibility, and limited attitude control ability and obstacle surmounting ability when walking. To be improved
