Abstract

Aiming at probe-cone docking mechanisms used in miniature spacecrafts for unmanned autonomous on-orbit service, a soft docking scheme of adding a buffer system at the end of the rod butt was proposed. A three-dimensional dynamic model for the docking system was built based on Lagrange method, the principle of virtual work was used to solve the generalized force matrix. The contact search algorithm was utilized to determine contact point positions, the section method was employed to convert a three-dimensional space search problem into a two-dimensional planar solution. According to relative position and relative speed of contact points, a method was proposed to solve a tangential contact force in a three-dimensional space. Moreover, the theoretical model was verified through comparing the results of the finite element method with those of this model. Assessment criteria of docking system capture were established through the simplified design of capture lock. Dynamic simulation analyses were performed under different cushioning characteristics. The influence of changes of buffer parameters on docking process of micro-satellites was analyzed, the optimization method for buffer parameters was proposed to provide a valuable reference for the buffer system design of a probe-cone docking mechanism.
