DEVICE FOR HOLDING AND RELEASING TRANSFORMED MECHANICAL SYSTEMS OF SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/64 

FIELD: rocket technics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering. Device for holding and releasing the transformed mechanical systems of the spacecraft contains a lock based on a bolted joint consisting of a stationary and detachable parts. Stationary part includes a body, a split nut, a separator, an activating device, springs, a sensor, and the detachable part is a funnel, a spring, a pin, a tensile force sensor in the joint of the lock, a nut for tightening the stationary and detachable parts along the junction line, spherical washers to compensate for the skewing of the pin. Separated and stationary parts are not separated by the elements of the transformed mechanical systems. Activating device containing heating elements ensures a technological operation without triggering the initiating device. Line of the joint of the lock is made in the form of a cylindrical ring with a conical shape. Separator contains holders and has a free stroke. Bearing surface of the spherical washer has a stepped shape. On the funnel the sphere is made, on the surface of which the washers are installed.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is increased reliability, informativeness and ease of operation of the device.
