Ultra-light hold-release mechanisms
□ Description

A super lightweight locking and releasing mechanism based on shape memory polymer composite materials, with a "U" - shaped locking state and a "I" - shaped unfolding and releasing state, can achieve locking and releasing of deployable structures under spatial loads.

□ Advantages

The ultra light locking and releasing mechanism can achieve controllable dynamic unfolding of the Chinese national flag, which has been successfully applied and verified on the Tianwen-1 Mars probe.

□ Comparison of main technical indicators between ultra light locking release mechanism and explosive bolt

Can be used for structures such as cubic star deployable sails, L-shaped antenna deployable units, etc
