[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, a space weightlessness simulation device includes a truss 1, the truss 1 includes a rectangular frame 11 and a support frame 12 arranged under the rectangular frame 11, and an X-direction track 13 is arranged on the rectangular frame 11.

[0020] A beam-type lifting device 2 is arranged on the truss 1, and the beam-type lifting device 2 includes an X-direction operating mechanism 21, a Y-direction operating mechanism 22 is arranged on the X-direction operating mechanism 21, a Z-direction operating mechanism 23 is arranged on the Y-direction operating mechanism 22, and a simulation device 5 is slidably arranged on the Z-direction operating mechanism 23.

[0021] Furthermore, the X-direction operating mechanism 21, the Y-direction operating mechanism 22, and the Z-direction operating mechanism 23 all include a servo motor and a rack-and-pinion mechanism driven by the servo motor. Specifically, the X-direction operating mechanism 21 includes an X-direction servo motor, which drives the X-direction rack-and-pinion mechanism, and a Y-direction fixed block is provided on the X-direction rack-and-pinion mechanism, and the Y-direction fixed block is connected to the Y-direction operating mechanism 22; the Y-direction operating mechanism 22 includes a Y-direction servo motor, which drives the Y-direction rack-and-pinion mechanism, and a Z-direction fixed block is provided on the Y-direction rack-and-pinion mechanism, and the Z-direction fixed block is connected to the Z-direction operating mechanism 23. Therefore, the utility model can achieve millimeter-level positioning, and the lifting and lowering in the Z-axis direction are positioned by the servo motor and the rack-and-pinion, and the positioning accuracy also reaches the millimeter level.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the simulation device 5 includes a slider 51 slidably arranged on the Z-direction running mechanism 23, a spherical electromagnetic sucker 52 with high smoothness is fixedly arranged on the slider 51, the spherical electromagnetic sucker 52 is connected to the negative pressure pump through an air pipe, and an electromagnetic valve is arranged on the air pipe; and an experimental object 53 is adsorbed on the spherical electromagnetic sucker 52, so that the experimental object 53 can rotate around the spherical electromagnetic sucker 52 at will. In addition, a tension sensor is arranged on the slider 51, the tension sensor measures the weight of the experimental object 53, and the tension sensor is connected to the lifting weight precision control device 3.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the slider 51 is connected to the first pull plate 512 through the first pin 511, the first pull plate 512 is connected to the tension sensor 514 through the second pin 513, the lower end of the tension sensor 514 is connected to the third pin 515, the third pin 515 is connected to the fourth pin 517 through the second pull plate 516, the fourth pin 517 is connected to the anti-rotation sleeve 518, and the bottom of the anti-rotation sleeve 518 is connected to the spherical electromagnetic suction cup 52 through the mounting hole. In this way, the experimental object 53 is adsorbed below the spherical electromagnetic suction cup 52, and the slider 51 is suspended by the Z-direction running mechanism 23, and the tension sensor 514 in the middle can measure the weight of the experimental object 53.

[0024] Monitoring sensors are provided at the four corners of the truss 1, and the monitoring sensors detect the coordinates of the experimental object 53. The monitoring sensors are connected to the electrical control system 4. It should be noted that the monitoring sensor here can be an image sensor, which captures the image of the experimental object 53 through the image sensor, and obtains the coordinates of the experimental object 53 through image recognition. Alternatively, the monitoring sensor can also be a travel sensor respectively provided on the X-direction running mechanism 21, the Y-direction running mechanism 22 and the Z-direction running mechanism 23, and the coordinates of the experimental object 53 are directly obtained through the travel sensor. In this way, the multi-angle monitoring sensing device of the utility model is constituted by the monitoring sensor, and the multi-angle monitoring sensing device can achieve the millimeter-level spatial positioning accuracy of the experimental object, and can achieve the precise movement of the lifting device with the experimental object.

[0025] The lifting weight precision control device 3 , the X-direction operating mechanism 21 , the Y-direction operating mechanism 22 and the Z-direction operating mechanism 23 are all connected to the electrical control system 4 .

[0026] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0027] According to the weight of the experimental object 53 detected by the tension sensor 514, the electrical control system 4 controls the lifting weight of the beam-type lifting device 2, thereby setting the lifting weight value to the weight of the experimental object 53 itself. If it exceeds or falls below the set value, the beam-type lifting device 2 will drop or rise accordingly. In this way, the lifting weight is always kept consistent with the weight of the experimental object 53 itself during operation, and the lifting weight always offsets the weight of the experimental object 53 itself, and moves accurately with the experimental object 53, so as to simulate the weightlessness state in space.

[0028] In summary, the utility model adopts a truss and beam type lifting device 2 to meet the requirements of millimeter-level spatial positioning.

[0029] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present invention, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
