Deployable assembly

A deployable assembly comprising:

• a supporting structure;
• a set of panels, a first panel of the set of panels being linked to an adjacent second panel of the set of panels by a hinge defining an intermediate axis of rotation, capable of switching from a stowed configuration in which the panels are folded one on top of the other to a deployed configuration, by rotation of the panels about the intermediate axis of rotation, in which the panels are arranged in a same plane;
• an articulation device defining a main axis of rotation of the set of panels relative to the supporting structure, wherein;
• the main axis of rotation is provided along a first edge of the first panel and along a face of the supporting structure;
• the set of panels is rotationally mobile about the intermediate axis of rotation and the main axis of rotation to switch from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration;
• the set of panels is only rotationally mobile about the main axis of rotation in deployed configuration so as to orient the set of panels relative to the supporting structure;
• wherein, the articulation device further comprises:
• a first bearing on the first edge of the first panel;
• a second bearing on the first edge of the first panel;
• and
• a control device comprising:
• a gear motor coupled to the first bearing intended to orient the set of panels;
• at least one damper coupling the gear motor and the first bearing;
• a prestressing means associated with the second bearing making it possible to avoid any play in the first bearing and the second bearing.
