Abstract
According to a description of the topology structure of deployable antennas, this work proposes the configuration synthesis method of over-constrained deployable units on the basis of screw theory and conducts example analyses on the basis of an analysis method and certain design steps. First, the basics of screw theory are introduced in detail, and an over-constrained deployable unit is represented by a screw. Second, through over-constraint analysis, the kinematic pair configurations of the mechanism under over-constraint have been established. Third, according to the general process of the deployable unit with common over-constraints proposed in this paper, the example is analyzed in detail. Finally, the model is verified according to the obtained configuration synthesis results. The cubic deployable unit mechanism is obtained through 3D printing, and the folding function is tested to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis, which can provide theoretical reference for the mechanism design of large deployable units.
