TARGET ACTUATION SYSTEM

摘要

A target actuation system is provided. The target actuation system includes a housing having a target actuation mechanism, remote control unit, actuation power source, and a mechanism guard plate. The target actuation mechanism includes an actuator, a target attachment feature configured to receive a target, and an attachment spindle about which the target attachment feature can rotate. The remote control unit is operatively connected to the actuation mechanism and configured to actuate the actuation mechanism upon receiving an actuation signal from a remote transmitter. Once actuated, the substrate is moved from a target-unexposed position to a target-exposed position. The target attachment feature includes modular configurations that allow for the target actuation system to be reconfigured for a particular type of target movement.

1. A target actuation system, comprising:
a housing; an actuator, comprising:
a connection point disposed at a first end of the actuator for attachment to a substrate; anda displacement point disposed at a second end of the actuator and configured to move relative to the connection point from a first unactuated position to a second actuated position and change a length of the actuator when a moving force is received; an actuation power source connected to the actuator and configured to provide the moving force to the actuator; a remote control unit configured to provide an actuation signal and activate the actuation power source; and an actuation mechanism operatively connected to the housing and having a spindle configured to rotate about a first axis and having at least one protrusion configured to translate the moving force and displacement of the actuator into a rotational movement about the first axis, wherein the actuation mechanism is configured to receive a target substrate, and wherein the at least one protrusion is separate from the actuator.
