Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of space station cabins, and in particular to a structure for generating artificial gravity in a space station and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, astronauts in the space station are in a state of weightlessness during their missions. Long-term exposure to weightlessness will have certain adverse effects on people's life activities and physical health (including muscle atrophy and swelling of the whole body), so that it will take a long time to recover after returning to the ground. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention is intended to provide a cabin structure and a working method thereof for generating artificial gravity in a space station, so as to solve the problem that the existing cabin has adverse effects on human health.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A cabin structure for generating artificial gravity in a space station, comprising a connection cabin relatively stationary with other cabins of the space station, a radial connection rod and at least one radial channel, an outer cabin, an inner cabin rotating at a certain angular velocity relative to the outer cabin, and a transfer cabin for transferring personnel or materials between the inner cabin and the outer cabin. The inner cabin rotates at a certain angular velocity on a track fixed in the outer cabin through motor control. The transfer cabin changes its rotation state through a motor on a track fixed in the outer cabin to achieve synchronization with the outer cabin or the inner cabin.

[0005] The connecting cabin is cylindrical.

[0006] The outer cabin is annular and connected to the connecting cabin through multiple radial channels.

[0007] The connecting cabin, radial passage and outer cabin are an integrally sealed structure.

[0008] The inner cabin is annular and rotates at a constant angular velocity in the outer cabin.

[0009] The transfer cabin is ring-shaped.

[0010] Cabin doors 1 and 2 are installed between the radial passage and the transfer cabin, and cabin doors 3 and 4 are installed between the transfer cabin and the inner cabin.

[0011] There is a corresponding door opening button installed next to each cabin door, namely Button 1, Button 2, Button 3, and Button 4. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the front structure.

[0013] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the side structure Implementation

[0014] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0015] The process of astronauts entering the inner cabin:

[0016] The astronaut reaches hatch 1 through the connecting cabin and radial channel, and presses door opening button 1 to send a door opening signal.

[0017] The system controls the transfer cabin to be synchronized with the radial channel and locks the doors 1 and 2 when they are aligned, and automatically opens the doors 1 and 2.

[0018] At this time, the astronauts enter the transfer cabin, and hatch 1 and hatch 2 are automatically closed and unlocked.

[0019] The astronaut adjusts his posture to face the hatch 3 with his head and feet in a standing position, holds the handrail to stabilize his body, and presses the door opening button 3 to send a door opening signal.

[0020] The system controls the transfer cabin to be synchronized with the inner cabin and locks the cabin door 3 and the cabin door 4 when they are aligned, and automatically opens the cabin door 3 and the cabin door 4.

[0021] When the astronauts enter the inner cabin, hatch 3 and hatch 4 are automatically closed and unlocked.

[0022] Astronauts' extravehicular activity:

[0023] The astronaut walks to the hatch 4 and presses the door opening button 4 to send a door opening signal.

[0024] The system controls the transfer cabin to be synchronized with the inner cabin and locks the cabin doors 3 and 4 when they are aligned, and automatically opens the cabin doors 3 and 4.

[0025] At this time, the astronauts enter the transfer cabin, and hatch 3 and hatch 4 are automatically closed and unlocked.

[0026] The astronaut holds the handrail to stabilize his body and presses the door opening button 2 to send the door opening signal.

[0027] The system controls the transfer cabin to be synchronized with the radial channel and locks the doors 1 and 2 when they are aligned, and automatically opens the doors 1 and 2.

[0028] When the astronauts enter the radial channel, hatch 1 and hatch 2 are automatically closed and unlocked.
