Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a lunar research station building structure, specifically a manned lunar research station building structure based on the utilization of lunar lava pipes, belonging to the field of lunar architecture. Background Technology

[0002] The Moon, with its unique geographical advantages and resource value, has attracted worldwide attention. Exploring the Moon has become an important vehicle for major spacefaring nations to conduct scientific research and demonstrate their comprehensive national strength. Since the first spacecraft successfully hard-landed on the Moon in 1959, human lunar exploration has spanned over 60 years, with more than 100 lunar missions and fruitful results. Currently, my country is undertaking the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project, planning to jointly construct the basic model of a research station in the lunar south polar region around 2030 through international cooperation. The construction concept of the lunar research station is strategic, long-term, iterative, open, and forward-looking. In general, the preparatory phase focuses on tackling key technological challenges; the initial phase is a short-term manned lunar base; the intermediate phase is a long-term manned lunar base; and the advanced phase is a large-scale lunar factory and commercial base. The preparatory and initial phases are currently the focus of preliminary research.

[0003] Lunar lava tubes are channels formed beneath the lunar surface by the flow of basaltic lava. As the surface of the lava tube cools and hardens, it forms rock walls, creating tubular spaces within. Compared to the extreme environment of the lunar surface, lunar lava tubes offer a naturally stable environment, making them a potential site for future manned lunar research stations. Furthermore, choosing to construct lava tubes is crucial for exploring lunar caves, which is essential for lunar exploration and development.

[0004] For example, the patent with announcement number CN113338674A, entitled "Invention Patent on Crater-Type Manned Lunar Building Structure and Construction Method Based on Future Lunar Base," adopts a crater-type manned lunar building structure, the construction of which relies on the actual conditions of the lunar crater; in addition, the patent with announcement number CN114687451A, entitled "Lunar Surface-Type Manned Lunar Building Structure and Construction Method Based on Future Lunar Base," adopts a lunar surface-type manned lunar building structure, relying on the actual conditions of the lunar surface.

[0005] Therefore, most existing lunar base construction plans are based on lunar surface sites. The radiation and thermal environment on the lunar surface poses greater challenges to structural stability and astronaut survival. Furthermore, the large number of 3D-printed shells required for construction is inefficient and difficult due to the need for substantial energy supplies. Therefore, lunar lava tubes are chosen to reduce construction and maintenance difficulties. However, the constraints are more stringent, the construction methods are more rigorous and complex, and there are challenges in achieving this during the preparatory and initial stages. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that most existing lunar base construction schemes are based on lunar surface site selection, which imposes more stringent constraints, involves more rigorous and complex construction methods, and is difficult to implement in the preparatory and initial stages. Therefore, this invention provides a construction structure for a manned lunar research station based on the utilization of lunar lava conduits.

The core module mechanical telescopic support legs are supported on the lower outer circumference of the eight-way interconnected module. The vertical transportation corridor runs vertically through the hull, telescopic structure, storage cabinets, control room, equipment layer, and eight-way interconnected module.

[0010] Furthermore, the working chamber includes an experimental cabinet, an air-supported membrane structure, an experimental table, and lunar soil mortar. The air-supported membrane structure is filled with lunar soil mortar, and the experimental cabinet and experimental table are both installed inside the air-supported membrane structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the air rib membrane structure is a cylindrical air rib membrane, and the cylindrical air rib membrane is provided with multiple air ribs at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the multiple air ribs divide the cylindrical air rib membrane into multiple air cavities.

[0012] Furthermore, the working module also includes multiple lunar soil concrete injection ports, multiple portholes, and air rib support arms. Each air chamber is equipped with a lunar soil concrete injection port, and the air rib support arms are installed at the left and right ends of the air rib membrane structure. Multiple portholes are installed in the middle of the air rib membrane structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the living quarters include a living air-supported membrane structure, a living air-supported passageway, a storage cabinet for living supplies, a sleeping space, and a safety airlock space. The living air-supported membrane structure has a living air-supported passageway at its lower part, the storage cabinet for living supplies and the sleeping space are located inside the living air-supported membrane structure, and the safety airlock space is installed at the end of the living air-supported membrane structure.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes an airlock telescopic structure and an airlock door, the airlock door being operable and installed on the airlock, and the airlock telescopic structure being installed at the bottom of the airlock.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The proposed architectural structure module for a manned lunar research station makes full use of the lunar environment and material resources, uses lava pipes as building shelters, and uses lunar soil mortar for filling, thus solving the problems of low efficiency of laser sintering and insufficient hardness or difficulty in curing of lunar soil 3D printing.

[0019] 2. The present invention combines prefabrication on the ground with construction on the moon. The deployment method adopted is inflatable self-deployment technology, which is lightweight, easy to transport, and saves transportation costs.

[0020] 3. This invention efficiently utilizes the in-situ environmental resources of the moon, using natural lava conduits as cover to form a two-layered exploration and development space that connects the lunar surface and the lunar cave. The shelter at the cave entrance protects the building structure below from harmful environmental factors such as micrometeoroids and radiation.

[0021] 4. This invention efficiently utilizes in-situ lunar material resources. Based on the in-situ resources, it selects to prepare aluminate concrete, sulfur concrete, magnesia concrete, polymer concrete, or geopolymer concrete. By using lunar soil mortar filling technology, it solves problems such as low efficiency of laser sintering, insufficient hardness or difficulty in curing of lunar soil 3D printing, and insufficient strength and easy aging of air-filled structures.

[0022] 5. The construction of the research station of this invention can be completed in batches according to the overall plan of lunar exploration. It adopts a phased construction approach, achieves fractal expansion in overall layout, and modular splicing in cabin assembly, so that the manned lunar research station can be easily expanded and upgraded according to mission objectives, with high flexibility.

[0023] 6. The site selection for this invention is within a lava conduit. In terms of radiation protection, the rock walls can act as a shield against cosmic rays, high-energy particles, micrometeorites, and micrometeoroids. Regarding temperature, the lunar lava conduit space can maintain a relatively stable temperature. Compared to the lunar surface's daytime temperature of 116.9℃ and lunar night temperature of -173.2℃, the temperature inside the lava conduit in the same area can be maintained at 16.9℃ during the lunar day and -43.2℃ during the lunar night. When exploring and selecting a lava conduit of suitable size, priority should be given to areas with open windows left by meteorite impacts. If no open windows are found, blasting should be considered. The natural shelter provided by the karst cave environment should be fully utilized to provide a suitable living space.

[0024] 7. This invention effectively combines the advantages of on-site prefabrication and lunar construction. The core module, which houses and deploys the structure, is prefabricated on-site and then deployed on the moon. The core consists of an airlock module 37, a shelter module 1, and an eight-way interconnected module 31 at the bottom, providing a horizontally connected traffic space 21 for each module and a vertically connected traffic space 27 between the bottom of the lava tube and the lunar surface. The deployed structure, including both mechanical and inflatable structures, unfolds after being precisely placed into the lava tube. After being filled with lunar soil mortar, it forms a complete building structure. The core module also includes storage cabinets 28 and a control room 29, which work together with the lunar orbiting space station to control the construction of the manned lunar space station.

[0025] 8. The initial stage of this invention's manned lunar research station aims for a mission of 4-6 people over approximately 180 days. The pressurized space has a total area of ​​approximately 60㎡ and a total volume of approximately 190m³. Its main basic functions include: a work cabin (26.40㎡), a living cabin (12.24㎡), a supplies cabin (12.24㎡), and a plant cabin (8.54㎡). Among these:

[0026] 1) Work Module: It houses the equipment, facilities, operating platform, and experimental data used for lunar experiments, meeting the research and experimental needs of scientific researchers. It is manned for short periods and operates autonomously for long periods.

[0027] 2) Living quarters: These contain life support equipment, waste disposal equipment, and provide sleeping and storage spaces to meet the daily living needs of scientific researchers.

[0028] 3) Supplies compartment: It houses a highly integrated building acoustic, light, heat, and electrical control system, as well as equipment for water circulation and oxygen preparation that meet life support requirements, and provides storage space for food, utensils, etc.

[0029] 4) Plant Chamber: A closed biological controlled life support system consisting of plants, microorganisms, etc., to support the conduct of related plant growth experiments, and at the same time provide survival support for scientific researchers working on the lunar surface in conjunction with material resupply.

[0030] Each cabin can be modularly connected and expanded according to different numbers of people and durations of mission.

[0031] The internal environmental control system achieves a stable pressurized environment of 24-26℃. The semi-closed-loop biological supply system provides 3.4 kg of oxygen and 10 L of drinking water, meeting the survival needs of 4-6 people. The multi-energy complementary production system and fuel cell energy storage system ensure uninterrupted energy supply across the lunar night. Attached Figure Description

The mechanical deployment structure 12 is installed on the shelter air membrane 11 and drives the shelter air membrane 11 to deploy and form a hemispherical cabin.

[0041] In one preferred implementation, the mechanical deployment structure 12 includes four deployment units, one end of which is rotatably mounted together and the other end of which extends downward. Each deployment unit includes a mechanically deployable lunar soil mortar injection port 45, multiple folded metal plates 46, and multiple metal structural shafts 47. The multiple folded metal plates 46 are rotatably connected to each other through the metal structural shafts 47.

[0042] The shelter 1 is stretched in four directions by the mechanical deployment structure 12 to form a hemispherical structure, and the shelter air membrane 11 structure fixed to the metal plate is deployed accordingly.

[0043] With this configuration, the shelter air membrane 11 in this embodiment can block harsh environmental elements such as micrometeoroids and radiation, preventing harm to personnel. Other components and connections are the same as in Specific Embodiment 1.

[0044] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figure 4 and Figure 7 This embodiment describes a core module 2 comprising a hull, a lunar surface hatch 25, a telescopic structure 13, a vertical transportation corridor 27, storage cabinets 28, a control room 29, an eight-way interconnected module 31, a core module thruster 33, an equipment layer 30, a hull interconnection opening 32, and core module mechanical telescopic support legs 20.

[0045] Lunar surface hatch 25 can be opened and installed on the outer surface of the hull. A telescopic structure 13 is installed on the hull below the lunar surface hatch 25. Storage cabinets 28, control room 29, equipment layer 30, eight-way interconnection compartment 31 and core module thruster 33 are installed sequentially from top to bottom at the lower end of the telescopic structure 13. Multiple hull interconnection openings 32 are opened on the eight-way interconnection compartment 31.

Vertical transportation channel 27 is vertically installed in the hull and inside the telescopic structure 13, storage cabinets 28, control room 29, equipment layer 30 and eight-way interconnection compartment 31.

[0046] The telescopic structure 13 includes a connecting metal part 48, a rubber sealing gasket 49, and a metal ring structure 50.

[0047] The nested metal ring structure 50 is reinforced by connecting metal parts 48 and sealed by rubber sealing gaskets 49, forming a sealed traffic space through longitudinal expansion and contraction.

[0048] This configuration allows for minimizing the height of the transport compartment while maintaining a relatively high vertical transport height at the lava pipes, and it can be flexibly adjusted according to different lava pipe heights. Other components and connections are the same as in Specific Implementation Method Two.

[0049] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes the working chamber 3, which includes an experimental cabinet 37, an air-supported membrane structure 35, an experimental table 38, and lunar soil mortar 36.

[0051] Specific Implementation Method Five: Combining Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the air rib membrane structure 35 is a cylindrical air rib membrane, and the cylindrical air rib membrane is provided with multiple air ribs at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the multiple air ribs divide the cylindrical air rib membrane into multiple air cavities.

[0052] This design allows the air ribs to easily divide the cylindrical air rib membrane into multiple air chambers, which are used for filling mortar and thus limit the movement of the mortar.

[0054] Specific Implementation Method Six: Combination Figures 1 to 3To illustrate this embodiment, the working cabin 3 of this embodiment also includes multiple lunar soil concrete injection ports 14, multiple portholes 15, and air rib support arms 16. Each air chamber is equipped with a lunar soil concrete injection port 14, and the air rib support arms 16 are supported and installed at the left and right ends of the air rib membrane structure 35. Multiple portholes 15 are installed in the middle of the air rib membrane structure 35.

[0055] This design allows astronauts to observe the conditions at the bottom of the cave and creates two safe escape routes. One route connects to the core module via a vertical transportation space, allowing escape to the lunar surface. The other route connects directly to the bottom of the lava tube via the safety airlock space 42, ensuring safety.

[0056] Other components and connections are the same as any one of the specific embodiments one to five.

[0057] Specific implementation method seven: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes a living compartment 4 that includes a living air-supported membrane structure 17, a living air-supported passageway 18, a living supplies storage cabinet 39, a sleeping space 40, and a safety airlock space 42. The living air-supported membrane structure 17 has a living air-supported passageway 18 at its lower part. The living supplies storage cabinet 39 and the sleeping space 40 are located inside the living air-supported membrane structure 17. The safety airlock space 42 is installed at the end of the living air-supported membrane structure 17.

[0058] This design ensures that each astronaut has their own private space within the living quarters, better protecting their mental health. Other components and connections are the same as any one of the specific implementation methods one through six.

[0059] Specific implementation method eight: Combination Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes a material compartment 5, which includes a material air-supported membrane structure, a lava pipe bottom hatch 19, and a material storage cabinet 41. The material storage cabinet 41 is installed inside the material air-supported membrane structure, and the lava pipe bottom hatch 19 is openable and installed at the end of the material air-supported membrane structure.

[0060] With this configuration, the supply compartment is located at the functional distribution center, and the two living quarters share one supply compartment, ensuring high accessibility. Other components and connections are the same as any one of the specific implementation methods one through seven.

[0061] Specific Implementation Method Nine: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes a plant cabin 6 comprising a mechanical telescopic support frame 23, an air membrane 24, a base 25, and a plant cabinet 43. The mechanical telescopic support frame 23 is mounted on the base 25, the air membrane 24 is attached to the mechanical telescopic support frame 23, and the plant cabinet 43 is installed inside the air membrane 24.

[0062] This configuration, with plant cultivation experimental cabinets evenly distributed within the hemispherical plant cabin, not only provides experimental functions but also supplements the source of some necessary supplies such as food, water, and oxygen, reducing transportation costs. Other components and connections are the same as any one of the specific implementation methods one through eight.

[0063] Specific Implementation Method Ten: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment also includes an airlock telescopic structure 22 and an airlock 44. The airlock 44 is openable and installed on the airlock 34, and the airlock telescopic structure 22 is installed at the bottom of the airlock 34.

[0064] With this configuration, the airlock and core compartment can adjust the length of their lower telescopic structures according to the terrain to ensure the horizontality of the internal space. Other components and connections are the same as in any of the specific implementation methods one through nine.

[0065] Combination Figures 1 to 5 Explanation of the working principle of this invention:

[0066] Through steps such as ground launch, Earth-Moon transfer, and Earth-Moon orbit rendezvous, the space station's manned module, node module, core module 2 of the research station, airlock module 34 of the research station, manned spacecraft, landing system, and energy system will be transported to lunar orbit in multiple launches to jointly form a lunar space station.

[0067] 1. By using on-orbit remote sensing systems and autonomous lunar robots to survey the lunar surface and lava tube environment of the selected construction site, an in-situ digital image reconstruction of the environment will be achieved. Suitable-sized skylight openings will be located or blasting will be carried out to create a connection space between the lava tube and the lunar surface.

[0068] 2. The entrance to the cave was reinforced by a lunar robot working autonomously, and the inside of the cave was cleared of debris and the site was leveled by a robot.

[0069] 3. The core module of the research station will target the pre-set opening 7 of the lava pipe, detach from the lunar space station and launch via thruster 33, and then land precisely in the lava pipe via auxiliary support structure 20.

[0070] 4. Construct the functional cabins in situ within the cave. The core cabin extends into a horizontal traffic channel 21 and an air-supported membrane structure. Then, an integrated control system controls the inflation control valve assembly to release liquid compressed air, allowing the prefabricated composite functional membrane structure to unfold and form the air ribs 17 of the working cabin 3, living cabin 4, and material cabin 5. The flexible composite skin is made of double-layer Kevlar or Vectran fabric, with each layer being 2-3 mm thick.

[0071] 5. Lunar soil mortar preparation: Based on in-situ resources, select aluminate concrete, sulfur concrete, magnesia concrete, polymer concrete, or geopolymer concrete for preparation.

[0072] 6. Lunar soil mortar 36 is injected into the air rib structures of the working compartment 3, living compartment 4, and material compartment 5 through injection ports 14 equipped with vibrating devices, gradually solidifying to form the compartment enclosure structure. The thickness of the lunar soil is 1-1.5m. The air rib support structure 16, air ribs 17, air rib slides 18, and solidified lunar soil mortar 36 together constitute a compartment with stability, airtightness, and heat storage capacity. The mechanical telescopic structure 23 of the plant compartment, the air membrane 24 of the plant compartment, and the base 25 of the plant compartment together constitute the compartment structure of the plant compartment.

[0073] The lunar surface shelter was constructed in situ. The double-layered air membrane, which was pre-installed in the core module, was deployed. Lunar soil mortar was injected between the two layers of air membrane and gradually solidified into a shelter enclosure structure with radiation protection and microparticle impact protection functions.
