本文开发了一种基于圆锥形 Kresling 折纸图案设计、驱动和制造空间碎片收集器的新颖方法。利用折纸结构的可展开性质和圆锥形克雷斯林图案的径向可闭合性来形成用于收集不同尺寸的空间碎片的外壳体积。我们首先介绍圆锥形 Kresling 图案的几何、体积和能量模型。基于这些模型，碎片收集器设计问题被表述为参数优化问题，以最小化折叠过程的驱动能量，同时满足最小体积约束和几何/功能约束。为了自动捕获太空碎片，设计了一种与太空环境兼容的驱动系统。此外，采用多材料三维打印技术构建了所设计的碎片收集器，使得该产品在轨道上的制造成为可能。所提出的设计、驱动和制造方法通过使用设计原型的实验测试进行了验证。
This paper develops a novel approach to design, actuate, and manufacture a space debris collector based on the conical Kresling origami pattern. The deployable nature of origami structures and the radial closability of the conical Kresling pattern are leveraged to form an enclosure volume for collecting space debris at different sizes. We first introduce the geometric, volume, and energy models of the conical Kresling pattern. Based on these models, the debris collector design problem is formulated as a parameter optimization problem to minimize the actuation energy for the folding process while satisfying the minimum volume constraint and geometric/functional constraints. To automatically capture debris in space, an actuation system is designed, which is compatible with space environments. Moreover, the multi-material three-dimensional printing technology is applied to build the designed debris collector, which makes it feasible for manufacturing the product in orbit. The proposed design, actuation, and manufacturing approaches are verified with experimental tests using a designed prototype.
