Abstract
The joint-locking device is an important component used to lock some equipments in the satellite. In this paper, a joint-locking device is designed to lock the deployable equipment in the satellite. The working principle of its locking mechanism is analyzed, exhibiting such characteristics as light weight, small dimensions and strong locking ability. Thermal deformation analysis on the joint-locking device is conducted using finite element method. The simulation results show that the joint-locking device possesses high thermal stability and can meet design requirements.
