Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of a satellite center of mass adjustment mechanism, in particular to a ground simulation satellite and a three-axis center of mass fine-tuning mechanism thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a cutting-edge, innovative, leading and challenging scientific and technological field, space science plays a vital role in the process of the national innovation-driven development strategy. In recent years, with the development and launch of space science satellites such as the dark matter detection satellite "Wukong", the drag-free technology test satellite "Taiji No. 1", "Tianqin No. 1" and the solar exploration science and technology test satellite "Xihe", my country's space science has greatly enhanced its international influence. Drag-free satellites are key platforms for implementing tasks such as gravitational wave detection and gravity field measurement. However, satellites are high-value products with high scientific and technological content. They use low-quality and high-strength materials, have high production costs, and carry high-precision instruments. It is often impossible to provide a real satellite for testing, so it is necessary to design a simulated satellite for testing. However, simulated satellites usually use ordinary materials, which leads to the problem of center of mass deviation in simulated satellites. Therefore, it is necessary to first build a simulation system on the ground to verify the effectiveness of its control system.
[0003] In order to eliminate the centroid displacement deviation of the ground simulation satellite caused by the installation as much as possible, it is necessary to design a centroid fine-tuning mechanism. In order to ensure that the ground simulation satellite remains horizontal as much as possible, it is necessary to design a horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism. If the satellite centroid and the thrust generated by the micro-thruster are not on the same horizontal plane, it will cause the tilt horizontal coupling effect, that is, the satellite structure not only swings around the suspension point under the action of the micro-thruster, but also produces a rotational motion with its own centroid as the center, thereby affecting the detection accuracy of the grating displacement sensor for the displacement between the satellite and the inspection mass, so it is necessary to design a vertical centroid adjustment mechanism. The current satellite centroid adjustment mechanism mainly has the following problems: 1. Most satellite centroid adjustment mechanisms disclosed in the prior art are mainly applicable to in-orbit satellites. The high-precision centroid adjustment system of the in-orbit satellite is to achieve high-precision centroid adjustment of the in-orbit satellite, but the system is too complicated and is not suitable for the centroid adjustment task requirements of ground satellites; 2. The satellite centroid adjustment mechanism disclosed in the prior art adopts a screw slide rail structure, which can only adjust the centroid of one axis, so three sets of screw slide rail structures are required on the three axes respectively, and this centroid adjustment mechanism greatly occupies the internal space of the satellite.
[0004] In summary, by innovating the existing satellite centroid adjustment mechanism and designing the centroid fine-tuning mechanism based on the mechanism of the ground-simulated satellite, a ground-simulated satellite and its three-axis centroid fine-tuning mechanism are proposed. The centroid adjustment in three axial directions is realized simultaneously, which can facilitate the fine-tuning of the satellite centroid, greatly reduce the occupied space volume of the satellite, facilitate the assembly with the satellite, and avoid the interference problem relative to the simulated satellite.

A wedge-shaped block is installed inside the tungsten wire clamping member housing, a tungsten wire is inserted through the wedge-shaped block, and a fastening bolt for suspension connection is provided at the bottom of the tungsten wire clamping member housing.
[0013] As an embodiment of the present invention, the micro thrusters are distributed in a cross shape with respect to the symmetry center line of the satellite overall frame.
[0014] As an embodiment of the present invention, the tungsten wire clamping member housing is connected to the satellite overall frame through a fastening bolt, and the lower end of the tungsten wire is fixedly connected to the inside of the wedge-shaped block.
[0015] As an embodiment of the present invention, the six-degree-of-freedom displacement table is movably connected to the bottom of the satellite overall frame.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: By setting up a three-axis adjustment structure, where the three-axis adjustment includes a vertical centroid adjustment mechanism and a horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism. The adjustment direction of the horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism is arranged along the X and Y axes of the satellite, which can adjust the horizontal position of the mass block, thereby adjusting the centroid of the satellite in the X and Y directions. The adjustment direction of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism is arranged along the Z axis of the satellite, which can adjust the vertical position of the mass block, thereby adjusting the centroid of the satellite in the Z direction. The horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism and the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism cooperate with each other to achieve three-axis adjustment. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism is mainly that the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob is connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw through a bevel gear set, so that when the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob is rotated, the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw can be driven to rotate simultaneously. The horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base is fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing through bolts. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob is connected through a reserved hole on the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing is fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base through bolts. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base can be fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing through bolts. At the same time, the bolts can fixedly connect the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base and the overall satellite frame through the through holes reserved on the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base. In this way, the structural design of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism and the horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism is more compact, and at the same time, the centroid adjustment in three axes is achieved, which can facilitate the fine adjustment of the satellite centroid, greatly reduce the occupied satellite space volume, facilitate the assembly with the satellite, and avoid the interference problem with respect to the simulated satellite.
[0017] 2. The simulated satellite has a two-layer structure in the shape of a regular hexagon. The overall structure is simple and is used for operation. By setting the overall framework of the satellite with two layers, the upper layer mainly houses devices such as power supplies, controllers, micro-thrusters, and gas storage cylinders, while the lower layer mainly houses hardware such as laser displacement sensors. The simulated satellite is suspended by tungsten wires to simulate the weightless state in space. Its power supply can supply power to the entire system, the controller is used to precisely control the micro-thrusters to generate thrust, the nitrogen gas storage tank can be used to store nitrogen, the micro-thrusters generate thrust to control the position and attitude of the simulated satellite, and the laser displacement sensor can monitor the position state of the simulated satellite in real time. At the same time, tungsten wire suspension is used to achieve the state of the satellite. The tungsten wire suspension is mainly realized by a tungsten wire clamping member, which is mainly composed of a tungsten wire clamping member housing, a wedge-shaped block, and a fastening bolt. The tungsten wire passes through the through hole above the tungsten wire clamping member housing, and the wedge-shaped block applies a clamping force to it. The fastening bolt is bolted to the lower part of the tungsten wire clamping member housing. Tightening the fastening bolt can provide a pressing force for the wedge-shaped block, thereby ensuring that the wedge-shaped block has a large enough clamping force on the tungsten wire. In addition, the surface of the wedge-shaped block in contact with the tungsten wire is made as rough as possible to provide higher friction. A through hole is designed at the center of the top cover above the overall framework of the satellite to allow the tungsten wire to pass through, and the top cover is fixedly connected to the overall framework of the satellite by bolts, thereby ensuring that the ground-simulated satellite can be suspended by tungsten wires, making the overall operating system process simple and facilitating the needs of the centroid adjustment task of the ground satellite.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the embodiments of the present invention provide a ground-simulated satellite and its three-axis centroid fine-tuning mechanism, including an overall satellite framework 1. A centroid fine-tuning mechanism 2 is installed inside the overall satellite framework 1. A horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1 is installed on the top of the centroid fine-tuning mechanism 2. The lower surface of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1 is provided with a horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2. The bottom of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2 is fixedly installed with a horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-3. A vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 is installed below the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-3. The left and right sides of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 are connected with a vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob 2-5. The bottom of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 is fixedly installed with a vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6. A horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-11 is installed on the left side of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2. A vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 is vertically arranged on the surface center line of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6. The top of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 is installed with a vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8.
[0023] On both the left and right sides of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2, there are horizontal Y-axis centroid adjustment fixing bolts 2-13 for fixed installation. Above the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1, there is a horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment fixing bolt 2-14. Outside the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-11, there is a connecting part 2-12 between the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob and the mass block base; Specifically, the adjustment direction of the horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism is arranged along the X and Y axes of the satellite. It can adjust the horizontal position of the mass block, thereby adjusting the centroid of the satellite in the X and Y directions. Further, the weight of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1 is 5 kg, the moving stroke is not less than 30 mm, and the adjustment accuracy of the horizontal mass block position, that is, the bolt matching accuracy, is better than 0.1 mm. Further, m1 refers to the weight of the horizontal mass block being 5 kg, a1 refers to the bolt matching accuracy being 0.1 mm. L1 is the moving stroke of the horizontal mass block, which is 30 mm, and the total weight of the satellite is M = 100 kg. Then the satellite horizontal centroid adjustment range x1 = (m1·L1) / M, and the centroid adjustment accuracy d1 = (m1·a1) / M. It can be obtained that the satellite horizontal centroid adjustment range is 0 - 1.5 mm, and the centroid adjustment accuracy is 0.005 mm, meeting the high-precision adjustment design requirements; The horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism mainly places the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1 in the chute of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2, and realizes the fine adjustment function of the centroid in the X-axis direction through the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob. By tightening the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment fixing bolt 2-14, the position of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1 can be fixed, thereby determining the centroid position in the X-axis direction. The horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2 is placed in the chute of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-2 to realize the centroid adjustment in the horizontal Y-axis direction. The horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-2 is fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 by bolts. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob 2-5 is connected through the reserved hole on the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4, and the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 is fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6 by bolts; There is a meshing structure between the lifting screw 2-7 of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism and the vertical centroid adjustment knob 2-5. On the back of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2, there is a horizontal Y-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-9, and outside the horizontal Y-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-9, there is a fixed base connecting part 2-10 installed; The adjustment direction of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism is arranged along the Z-axis of the satellite. It can adjust the vertical position of the mass block, thereby adjusting the centroid of the satellite in the Z direction. Further, the weight of the vertical mass block is 8 kg, the moving stroke is not less than 50 mm, and the position adjustment accuracy is determined by the cooperation accuracy of the ordinary bolt and the tapered bolt. At the same time, since the vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8 is affected by gravity, the cooperation accuracy of the ordinary bolt does not need to be considered, and only the cooperation accuracy of the tapered bolt needs to be considered. Considering comprehensively, it can be known that the position adjustment accuracy of the vertical mass block is better than 0.05 mm. Further, m2 refers to the weight of the vertical mass block, which is 8 kg, and a2 refers to the position adjustment accuracy of the vertical mass block, which is 0.05 mm. L2 is the movable stroke of the horizontal mass block, which is 50 mm, and the total weight of the satellite is M = 100 kg. Then the vertical centroid adjustment range of the satellite x1 = (m2·L2) / M, and the centroid adjustment accuracy d2 = (m2·a2) / M. It can be obtained that the vertical centroid adjustment range of the satellite is 0-4 mm, and the centroid adjustment accuracy is 0.004 mm, meeting the requirements of high-precision adjustment design. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism is mainly that the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob 2-5 is connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 through a bevel gear set. When the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob 2-5 is rotated, the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 can be driven to rotate at the same time. Since the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 and the vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8 are connected by threads, and the four sides of the vertical centroid adjustment mass block are fitted with the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 to ensure that the vertical centroid adjustment mass block does not rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 to drive the vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8 to move up and down, thereby meeting the vertical centroid adjustment function. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6 can be fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 through bolts, and at the same time, the bolts can fixedly connect the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6 and the satellite overall frame 1 through the through holes reserved on the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6.
[0024] Wall boxes 2-15 are installed on the outer walls around the centroid fine adjustment mechanism 2. An oil bladder 2-16 is installed inside the wall boxes 2-15. A sealing interface 2-17 is integrally provided on one side of the wall boxes 2-15, and a first oil pipe 2-18 is connected to the port of the sealing interface 2-17. A fuel pump 2-19 is installed at the end of the first oil pipe 2-18 away from the sealing interface 2-17. A second oil pipe 2-20 is connected to the inlet end of the fuel pump 2-19. The oil bladder 2-16 is interconnected with the first oil pipe 2-18 through the sealing interface 2-17. The first oil pipe 2-18 is connected to the second oil pipe 2-20 through the fuel pump 2-19. A lower oil pipe box 1-2 is installed at the lower end of the second oil pipe 2-20. A connection port 1-3 is integrally provided at the top of the lower oil pipe box 1-2. The lower oil pipe box 1-2 is interconnected with the second oil pipe 2-20 through the connection port 1-3. A bottom cylinder 1-1 is installed outside the lower oil pipe box 1-2; Specifically, a wall box 2-15 is installed on the outer wall of the centroid fine-tuning mechanism 2. An oil pump 2-19 is used to connect the second oil pipe 2-20 and the first oil pipe 2-18, and the oil inside the oil pipe box 1-2 is pumped into the oil bladder 2-16 inside the wall box 2-15. When the oil enters the oil bladder 2-16, the weight on the corresponding side of the centroid fine-tuning mechanism 2 increases. Then, in cooperation with the three-axis adjustment structure of the centroid fine-tuning mechanism 2, the mass center is adjusted. According to the actual situation of the three-axis adjustment, oil is filled into the corresponding side of the wall box, and then through the change of weight, the centroid fine-tuning of the centroid fine-tuning mechanism 2 is realized.
[0025] A ground-simulated satellite includes a satellite overall frame 1, and a tungsten wire clamping part housing 9-4 is installed on the top of the satellite overall frame 1; a wedge-shaped block 9-2 is installed inside the tungsten wire clamping part housing 9-4, a tungsten wire 9-1 is inserted through the wedge-shaped block 9-2, and a fastening bolt 9-3 for suspension connection is arranged at the bottom of the tungsten wire clamping part housing 9-4. The tungsten wire clamping part housing 9-4 is connected to the satellite overall frame 1 through the fastening bolt 9-3, and the lower end of the tungsten wire 9-1 is fixedly connected to the inside of the wedge-shaped block 9-2; Specifically, the tungsten wire 9-1 is clamped by the wedge-shaped block through a through hole above the tungsten wire clamping part housing 9-4. The fastening bolt 9-3 and the lower part of the tungsten wire clamping part housing 9-4 are connected by bolts. Tightening the fastening bolt 9-3 can provide a pressing force for the wedge-shaped block 9-2, thereby ensuring that the wedge-shaped block 9-2 has a large enough clamping force on the tungsten wire 9-1. In addition, the surface of the wedge-shaped block 9-2 in contact with the tungsten wire 9-1 is made as rough as possible to provide higher friction. A through hole is designed in the center of the top cover above the satellite overall frame 1 to allow the tungsten wire to pass through, and the top cover and the satellite overall frame 1 are fixedly connected by bolts, thereby ensuring that the ground-simulated satellite can be suspended by the tungsten wire.
[0026] A controller 3 is installed on the left side inside the satellite overall frame 1, micro thrusters 4 are installed on the outer sides of the satellite overall frame 1, a nitrogen gas storage tank 5 is installed in the middle inside the satellite overall frame 1, a power supply 6 is installed on the right side of the nitrogen gas storage tank 5, laser displacement sensors 7 are installed on both the left and right sides at the bottom of the satellite overall frame 1, and a six-degree-of-freedom displacement table 8 is installed at the bottom of the satellite overall frame 1; The micro thrusters 4 are distributed in a cross shape with respect to the symmetry center line of the satellite overall frame 1, and the six-degree-of-freedom displacement table 8 is movably connected to the bottom of the satellite overall frame 1. The satellite overall frame 1 is suspended by the tungsten wire to simulate the weightless state of the satellite in space. Since the tungsten wire has good tensile performance but poor shear resistance, a tungsten wire clamping mechanism is used to connect the tungsten wire and the satellite, and at the same time, the tungsten wire is prevented from bearing shear force; Specifically, the power supply 6 can supply power to the entire system to ensure the operation of the control system. The controller 3 is used to precisely control the micro thruster 4 to generate thrust. The micro thruster 4 is fixedly connected to the overall satellite frame 1 through a connecting member, and 8 are distributed oppositely along the X and Y axes respectively. The position and attitude of the simulated satellite are controlled by generating thrust. The nitrogen gas storage tank 5 can be used to store nitrogen gas, which can ensure the continuous operation of the system for 2 hours. The six-degree-of-freedom displacement stage 8 can provide relative displacement between the test mass and the simulated satellite. The laser displacement sensor 7 can monitor the position state of the simulated satellite in real time and simultaneously feedback signals to the control system.
[0027] Working principle: Devices such as the power supply 6, the controller 3, the micro thruster 4, and the nitrogen gas storage tank 5 are mainly placed in the upper structure of the overall satellite frame 1, and hardware such as the laser displacement sensor 7 is mainly placed in the lower structure, so as to simulate the weightless state in space through the tungsten wire 9-1; During three-axis adjustment, the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1 is placed in the chute of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2. The fine adjustment function of the centroid in the X-axis direction is realized through the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-11. The position of the horizontal centroid mass block can be fixed by tightening the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment fixing bolt 2-14, and then the centroid position in the X-axis direction is determined. The horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2 is placed in the chute of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-3 to realize the centroid adjustment in the horizontal Y-axis direction. The horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-3 is fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 through bolts. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob 2-5 is connected through the reserved hole on the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 is fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6 through bolts. In addition, the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block 2-1 is placed in the chute of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2 and is connected to the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-11 through threads. The horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob and the mass block base connecting member 2-12 are fixedly connected to the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2 through bolts, which can ensure the relative displacement in the X-axis direction between the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-11 and the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2. Then, by rotating the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-11, the fine adjustment function of the centroid in the X-axis direction is realized. The position of the horizontal centroid mass block can be fixed by tightening the horizontal X-axis centroid adjustment fixing bolt 2-14, and then the centroid position in the X-axis direction is determined. The horizontal centroid adjustment mass block base 2-2 is placed in the chute of the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-3 and is connected to the horizontal Y-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-9 through threads. The horizontal Y-axis centroid adjustment knob and the fixed base connecting member 2-10 are fixedly connected to the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-3 through bolts, which can ensure the relative displacement in the Y-axis direction between the horizontal Y-axis centroid adjustment knob 2-9 and the horizontal centroid adjustment mass block fixed base 2-3, and then the fine adjustment function of the centroid in the horizontal Y-axis direction is realized; The adjustment direction of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism is arranged along the Z-axis of the satellite, which can adjust the vertical position of the mass block, and thus adjust the centroid of the satellite in the Z direction. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob 2-5 is connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 through a bevel gear set. When the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism knob 2-5 is rotated, the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 can be driven to rotate simultaneously. Since the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 and the vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8 are connected by threads, and the four sides of the vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8 are matched with the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 to ensure that the vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8 does not rotate. Thus, the rotation of the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism lifting screw 2-7 drives the vertical centroid adjustment mass block 2-8 to move up and down, thereby meeting the vertical centroid adjustment function. The vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6 can be fixedly connected to the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism housing 2-4 through bolts, and at the same time, the bolts can fixedly connect the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6 and the overall satellite frame 1 through the through holes reserved on the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism base 2-6; By tightening the horizontal Y-axis centroid adjustment fixing bolt 2-13, the position of the horizontal centroid mass block can be fixed, and then the centroid position in the Y-axis direction can be determined. Through the vertical centroid adjustment mechanism and the horizontal centroid adjustment mechanism, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of the satellite are respectively determined, and at the same time, the centroid adjustment of the three axes is realized, which can facilitate the fine adjustment of the satellite centroid, greatly reduce the occupied satellite space volume, and facilitate the assembly with the satellite while avoiding the interference problem with respect to the simulated satellite; Wall boxes 2-15 are installed on all four sides of the centroid fine adjustment mechanism 2, and oil bags 2-16 are installed inside the wall boxes 2-15. The structures and weights of the wall boxes 2-15 on the four sides are the same. When no oil is filled into the oil bags 2-16, the centroid fine adjustment mechanism 2 maintains its initial balance, and then the centroid adjustment of the three axes is carried out. The oil pump 2-19 pumps the oil inside the oil pipe box 1-2 through the oil pipe two 2-20 into the oil pipe one 2-18, and the oil is filled into the oil bags 2-16 through the oil pipe one 2-18. When the oil enters the inside of the oil bags 2-16, the weight of one side of the centroid fine adjustment mechanism 2 filled with oil in the oil bags 2-16 increases, and the other three sides are the same. By filling the oil into the oil bags 2-16, the offset adjustment of the center of gravity is realized, and then the adjustment of the mass center of gravity is carried out in cooperation with the three-axis adjustment structure of the centroid fine adjustment mechanism 2.
