RESEARCH ON DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HIGH-SPEED CABLE FORCE TRANSMISSION

During the landing and detection missions of the Moon, Mars, and asteroids, due to the complexity and unpredictability of the landing process, it is necessary and critical to carry out simulation tests on the ground to simulate the stress state during the separation of the backshell from the lander. A high-speed cable-driven mechanism adopted. The cable force is different at the end actuator and the drum. There are many factors causing this difference, such as high acceleration, cable stiffness, cable density, cable length. In this paper, the cable force transmission of spacecraft during high-speed separation is studied. The dynamic model of high-speed cable-driven mechanism is established based on Newton principle, then the trial function is introduced, and the second-order partial differential equation is solved by using the method of space discretization. The force relationship of the cable in the process of motion is obtained, and the influencing factors of the cable force are explored. Finally, the correctness of the research content in this paper is verified by numerical simulation and experiment. The results show that the model can accurately simulate the force state of the cable, and it has guiding significance for the active high-speed separation test of spacecraft.
