The release component 140 includes a release element 161 and a servo 160. The pressure sensor 150 includes a hydraulic sensor. The servo 160 can control the release element to release pressure and launch the water rocket.

[0068] The water rocket launch process is as follows: The first stage is the water filling phase. The power supply air pump module 110 is opened, and the first and third solenoid valves 121 and 123 are opened. The water in the water tank 130 is pressed into the release assembly 140 by the pressure of the power supply air pump module 110, entering the water rocket. The water storage level can be calculated by reading the pressure value from the pressure sensor 150. Once the pressure reaches a preset value, the first and third solenoid valves 121 and 123 are closed, shutting down the power supply air pump module 110. The second stage is the pressurization phase. The second solenoid valve 122 is opened, and the power supply air pump module 110 is turned on. Gas passes through the second solenoid valve 122 and enters the water rocket through the release assembly 140. The pressure value can be calculated by reading the pressure value from the pressure sensor 150. Once the pressure reaches a preset value, the second solenoid valve 122 is closed, shutting down the power supply air pump module 110. The third stage is the release phase. By controlling the servo 160, the release assembly 140 is controlled, completing the launch of the water rocket. The fourth group is for releasing pressure to recover liquid, which is achieved by controlling the third solenoid valve 123 and the fourth solenoid valve 124 to open. That is, the pressure in the release assembly 140 is released to pressurize the water back to the water storage tank 170.

[0069] In some embodiments, the device also includes: a controller 180; a controller 180 is connected to the power supply air pump module 110, the gas-liquid control unit 120, the pressure sensor 150, the servo 160 and the communication module 190, wherein a controller 180 is used to control the opening and closing of the power supply air pump module 110, the gas-liquid control unit 120, the pressure sensor 150 and the servo 160 and to communicate with the communication module 190.

[0070] In the above embodiment of the present application, the controller 180 can be used to control each module of the water rocket, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic launch and reducing complicated operating steps.

[0071] For details, please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a controller for automatically launching a water rocket provided by the present application, wherein the controller 180 is respectively connected to the energy supply air pump module 110, the first solenoid valve 121, the second solenoid valve 122, the third solenoid valve 123 and the fourth solenoid valve 124 in the gas-liquid control unit 120, the pressure sensor 150, the steering gear 160 and the communication module 190.

Water pressure is measured using a pressure measurement method for easy measurement. The controller directly controls the gas-liquid control unit, measures the pressure sensor, and drives the air pump module, reducing the overall system coupling and making the entire area modular. Using a host computer, it can be connected to devices such as mobile phones and computers for control.

[0073] In some embodiments, the power supply air pump module 110 includes: an air pump 192 and a protective plate 191, wherein the protective plate 191 is connected to the air pump 192 to protect the air pump from overpressure and overheating.
