背景技术Background Art

空间太阳电池阵是绝大多数航天器在轨运行的唯一能量来源,其将太阳光能转化为电能,是航天器能源系统的关键单机,是决定任务成败和在轨工作寿命的核心要素。目前刚性和半刚性太阳电池阵是空间应用最为广泛的形式,但是其重量和体积会随着航天器载荷所需功率的增加也成正比地快速增长,难以适应未来航天工程的拓展。Space solar arrays are the only energy source for most spacecraft in orbit. They convert sunlight into electricity and are the key unit of the spacecraft energy system. They are the core factor that determines the success or failure of the mission and the life of the spacecraft in orbit. Currently, rigid and semi-rigid solar arrays are the most widely used in space applications, but their weight and volume will increase rapidly in proportion to the increase in the power required by the spacecraft payload, making it difficult to adapt to the expansion of future aerospace projects.

近年来,低轨卫星星座、空间太阳能电站和国际月球科研站计划相继提出并实施,新一代空间太阳电池阵要求具有极高的收纳比和功率比,同时具有可控展收等能力。为了解决上述问题,陆续出现了使用剪叉式机构和弹性桁架式伸展机构等柔性太阳电池阵展开机构构型,但现有设计存在设计复杂、难以模块化拓展和展开后难以收回等问题。In recent years, plans for low-orbit satellite constellations, space solar power stations and international lunar research stations have been proposed and implemented one after another. The new generation of space solar arrays are required to have extremely high storage ratios and power ratios, as well as controllable deployment and retraction capabilities. In order to solve the above problems, flexible solar array deployment mechanism configurations such as scissor-type mechanisms and elastic truss-type extension mechanisms have emerged one after another, but the existing designs have problems such as complex design, difficulty in modular expansion, and difficulty in retracting after deployment.
