DEVICE FOR MOUNTING AND UNFIXTURING OF DEPLOYABLE PANELS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B64G1/64 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the means of fixing and fast remote separation of spacecraft's (SC) structural elements, their parts and other products. The device comprises panels' slave fittings and joints in the form of cups with conical depressions and protrusions which interact with each other and with a support framework. The panels are mounted on the spacecraft at glasses' mating protrusions and depressions. Rods with caps of star-shaped teeth and protrusions are mounted in the glasses. These teeth mesh with teeth in the depressions of glasses. The protrusions (9) of one rod are mated with depressions (10) of the following rod. The spring drive is mounted on top of assembly. The rods are controlled by intermediate rods (12) with arms (13) combined into a single mechanism by drawing bars (14). There is a block lever with one or more (in a step-by-step separation) pyrofixators. When a separating command is activated the pyrofixator releases the block lever and all the intermediate levers (13) with it which are moved to the "COCKED" position by the spring of the mentioned actuator.

EFFECT: absence of the destructible and extractable elements, quantity and power reduction of the pyrotechnical devices and simplification of device maintenance.
