Patent ID: 11724835

Abstract:
The disclosure provides a locking and separating mechanism capable of achieving sequential release of multiple satellites and a working method thereof. The locking and separating mechanism includes a satellite group, two sets of locking assemblies and two sets of separating assemblies, wherein the satellite group includes a plurality of satellite bodies, the locking assemblies are located above the satellite group, the locking assemblies are connected with a base, the two sets of locking assemblies are arranged symmetrically at the diagonal line of the satellite group, the two sets of separating assemblies are arranged symmetrically on the two opposite sides of the satellite group, the bottom parts of the separating assemblies are fixedly connected with the base, and the inner sides of the separating assemblies are connected with the satellite group; the separating assemblies include sliding rails, a plurality of sliding blocks, redundant steel wire ropes, fixed pulleys A, pulley support seats A, fixed pulleys B, separating motors and pulley support seats B; the plurality of sliding blocks are matched with the sliding rails, the sliding blocks are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with spherical structures on the satellite bodies, the locking assemblies compress the satellite group, and the separating assemblies separate the satellite bodies one by one. The mechanism is simple in structure, low in energy consumption, and convenient to install and store, and can achieve separation of multiple satellites one by one.
