AI Technical Summary
Traditional microgravity simulation methods are expensive, have short simulation times, require large equipment footprints, and affect the dynamic characteristics of the tested equipment.
A gravity compensation device based on a distributed rotor space motion mechanism is adopted. Lift is provided by a ducted fan and a rotor-type gravity compensation device. The direction and magnitude of the lift are adjusted in real time by combining a gyroscope and an accelerometer to realize microgravity simulation.
It achieves low-cost, long-term microgravity simulation with a small device size that does not affect the dynamic characteristics of the tested equipment and can adapt to the simulation needs of different equipment.
