1) Catching process
In order to achieve penetration-type catching of the aluminum honeycomb panel, the catching mechanism needs to be in a fastening state firstly. The slide plate 2 is in the uppermost position and presses the spring 3 to make it gather the maximum elastic force. Because the sliding plate 2 is positioned at the uppermost position and simultaneously drives the connecting rod 7 to be positioned at the uppermost position, the connecting rod 7 drives the claw thorn 8 to open. The fixed hook 11 and the rocker 12 are hung together, and at the moment, the upper plate, the buffer rod 14, the adapter rod 13, the rocker 12, the fixed hook 11 and the sliding plate 2 form a stable fixed connection relationship, and the connection force keeps balance with the elasticity of the spindle spring.
Before the buffer part 16 of the catching mechanism contacts with an aluminum honeycomb panel of a catching target, the catching mechanism enters a pre-triggering state, the transmission motor 9 moves the push disc 1 to move downwards through the screw rod 10, and after the push disc 1 contacts with the lower limit switch 18, the transmission motor 9 stops rotating, and the push disc 1 stops moving. At this time, the upper plate, the buffer rod 14, the adapter rod 13, the rocker 12, the fixed hook 11 and the sliding plate 2 maintain a stable fixed connection relationship, so the sliding plate 2 can still maintain the position. The catching mechanism is provided with 2 sets of locking and releasing assemblies, and can keep the two sides of the sliding plate 2 balanced. The spring 3 is tightened under the action of the locking and releasing assembly to keep maximum elastic force, and the claw thorn 8 is kept in an open state. The pre-trigger state is shown in figure 6.
When the buffer part 16 touches the surface of the aluminum honeycomb plate, the catching mechanism enters a claw-thorn locking state. Buffer 18 collides with the aluminum honeycomb panel surface, under the effect of collision reaction force, buffer 16 overcomes buffer spring's elasticity rebound, buffer bar 14 also rebound thereupon, thereby drive rocker 12 anticlockwise rotation, rocker 12 anticlockwise rotation is threaded off with fixed hook 11 after certain range, at this moment the upper plate, buffer bar 14, changeover lever 13, rocker 12, fixed hook 11, stable fixed connection relation disappears between six of sliding plate 2, under the spring action of spring 3 instantaneous release, sliding plate 2 slides down, drive connecting rod 7 and slide down, claw thorn 8 locks inwards thereupon, the penetration is pierced into the aluminum honeycomb panel, realize the arrest to the aluminum honeycomb panel. The claw-hook locking state is shown in figure 7.
2) Release Process
The releasing process is changed from a locking state of the claw spines 8 to a fastening state, the claw spines 8 are separated from the aluminum honeycomb plate, and the catching mechanism realizes the release of the aluminum honeycomb plate.
Under the action of the transmission motor 9, the screw rod 10 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the push disc 1 to move upwards, and in the process of moving the push disc 1 upwards, the sliding plate 2 is pushed to slide upwards, the connecting rod 7 slides upwards along with the sliding plate, and the claw spines 8 are driven to open outwards and separate from the aluminum honeycomb panel. And in the process of moving the sliding plate 2 upwards, the spring 3 is compressed to store energy for catching the aluminum honeycomb plate next time. Fixed hook 11 shifts up along with sliding plate 2, and fixed hook 11 top inclined plane (leading surface a) contacts rocker 12 lower extreme gyro wheel 15, and gyro wheel 15 can self-adaptation roll along fixed hook 11 top inclined plane, and until rolling to the top inclined plane end, it is lived to enter into fixed hook 11 inboard to hang, accomplishes and hangs the action of detaining, and stable fixed connection between upper plate, buffer beam 14, changeover lever 13, rocker 12, fixed hook 11, the six sliding plate 2 realizes resumeing this moment. When the sliding plate 2 moves upwards and the upper limit switch 17 touches the upper plate, the transmission motor 9 stops rotating, and the push disc 1 stops moving.
The above description is only for the best mode of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced without these specific details.
