[0073] Among them, the underwater simulated overweight / weightlessness environment test device is the underwater simulated overweight / weightlessness environment test device as described above.
[0074] Preferably, when the position detector detects that the cabin mechanism floats in the large water tank 5, the control system controls the liquid supply mechanism to inject liquid into the cabin mechanism according to the position information provided by the position detector, thereby increasing the weight of the cabin mechanism and causing the cabin mechanism to sink to simulate a weightless environment, including:
[0075] When sensor three 20 is located at sensor one 12, the cabin body floats in the large water tank 5, and the control system controls the liquid tank 16 to open according to the position information provided by the sensor three 20 and the sensor one 12, and injects mercury into the counterweight chamber 11 through the liquid supply pipe 14 to increase the weight of the main cabin body, and the pressure baffle 18 opens, and the main cabin body 21 sinks in the vertical direction along the column one 6, the column two 19, the column three 22, and the column four 24 to simulate a weightless environment; when the sensor three 20 reaches the position of the sensor two 17, the control system controls the liquid tank 16 to stop the continuous injection of mercury.
