In this paper, a 7-cable driven robot is used to conduct ground simulation experiments for the uncertain risks during the separation process with the background of heatshield separation and backshell separation in the Mars exploration mission. After constructing the ground simulation experimental equipment based on the cable-driven robot, we systematically carry out theoretical research on the static cable force transmission characteristics, dynamic cable force transmission characteristics, design and application strategy of disturbing forces. Finally, experimental validation of the proposed theoretical model is carried out.The basic kinematic model of the cable-driven robot is established in the context of axial separation of the backshell. The kinetic model of the cable is derived based on the finite element method and Newton's law of motion. Using the assumed mode method, the expressions for the transmission of the cable force are given. The definition of the indexes used to evaluate the static cable force transmission characteristics: static cable force overshoot, static cable force corresponding time and static cable force average relative error are proposed. The influence of Young's modulus, cable density, pretention, cable length and load on the static cable force transmission characteristics is explored by numerical calculation. The proposed theory and model are experimentally verified by using a cable-driven robot.In the context of the axial separation of the heatshield, the relevant boundary conditions and initial conditions are derived for the short-term separation and long-term separation of the heatshield according to the proposed cable dynamics model. The treatment method is given for the cable slack phenomenon that may occur in the short-term separation. The definitions of indexes used to evaluate the high-speed dynamic cable force transmission characteristics are proposed: slack time of cable force, peak cable force, and average relative error of dynamic cable force. Numerical calculation method is used to investigate the influence law of thrust, Young's modulus and pretension on high-speed dynamic cable force transmission. Using the cable-driven robot as the research object, the research content of the dynamic cable force transmission characteristics of the cable is verified through experiments.A novel disturbing force application unit is designed in the context of the simulation of disturbing force during the separation of heatshield and backshell. The definition of the disturbing force controllable workspace is proposed and the calculation method of the workspace quality coefficient is given for evaluating the proximity of the end-effector to the edge of the disturbing force controllable workspace. It depicts the stability of the disturbing force. The number and location layout of the disturbing force application units are optimized and analyzed. Then, the corresponding disturbing force application strategy is given. The effects of axial force, disturbing force, and disturbing moment on the position and orientation of the end-effector are analyzed. Finally, the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed model are experimentally validated. Based on the main theory proposed in this paper, real heatshield and backshell are used to implement experimental verification. The experimental results meet the relevant technical indexes. The contributions in this paper provide theoretical guidance and reference for the ground simulation experiments of China's subsequent Mars exploration missions.
