卫星展开机构活动电缆干扰力矩特性研究

Interference torque characteristics of flexible cables in satellite deployment mechanisms

  • 摘要: 针对卫星展开机构中活动电缆产生干扰力矩以及传统建模方法难以准确模拟柔性电缆大变形行为的问题,基于任意拉格朗日–欧拉描述的绝对节点坐标方法(ALE-ANCF)建立变长度电缆动力学模型,并结合约束条件构建系统控制方程。通过实验与仿真对比验证了模型的准确性,并采用控制变量法分析了电缆直径、冗余度、固定点位置、展开转速、空间温度与重力加速度等关键参数对干扰力矩的影响。参数分析表明:减小电缆直径或增大固定点间距可显著降低干扰力矩;合理增加电缆冗余度也可降低干扰力矩;提高展开转速将加剧力矩波动;空间环境温度与干扰力矩呈负相关;微重力环境下力矩波动幅度减小,但电缆缠绕风险上升。该研究可为卫星展开机构中电缆系统的参数优化提供理论依据与数据支撑。

     

    Abstract: To address the problem of interference torque generated by flexible cables in satellite deployment mechanisms and the difficulty of accurately simulating their large deformation behavior using traditional methods, a variable-length cable dynamic model was established based on the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation with the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian description (ALE-ANCF). The system governing equations were constructed by incorporating constraint conditions. The accuracy of the proposed model was verified by comparing experimental and simulation results. The control variable method was employed to analyze the effects of key parameters, including cable diameter, redundancy, fixed point position, deployment speed, space temperature, and microgravity, on the interference torque. The parameter analysis reveals that: (1) reducing the cable diameter or increasing the distance between fixed points significantly reduces the interference torque; (2) appropriately increasing the cable redundancy also lowers the torque; (3) a higher deployment speed exacerbates torque fluctuations; (4) the ambient temperature in space is negatively correlated with the interference torque; and (5) under microgravity conditions, torque fluctuations diminish, while the risk of cable entanglement increases. This study provides a theoretical basis and data support for the parameter optimization of cable systems in satellite deployment mechanisms.
