Study on a Rope Deployment Cascade Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aimed at a rope deployment mechanism, under the hypothesis that the rope can not extend, the kinematic relationship between the rods and the multi-rigidbody geostatic model of the mechanism are established. Through the simulation and the mechanical analysis of the deployment process, the prototype deployment experiment had been done with controlling of the trace of the deployment velocity. The consequence shows the displacement, power consumption and disturbance of the mechanism accord with the expectation value of the theoretic model. It more shows our model could reflect the characteristic of this kind of mechanism, and also provides the gist for the deployment mechanism design。
