[0025] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A Mars rover control simulation device includes a base 1, a movable groove 11 is opened inside the base 1, a simulation component 3 is set inside the base 1, the simulation component 3 includes a sphere 31 movably connected to the inside of the movable groove 11, and the simulation component 3 also includes a first motor 32 fixedly connected to the front end of the base 1, the left end of the output shaft of the first motor 32 is fixedly connected to the first roller 321, the right end of the inside of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the second motor 33, the upper end of the output shaft of the second motor 33 is fixedly connected to the second roller 331, the inner wall of the movable groove 11 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 34, and the fixing A groove 341 is provided on the outside of the ring 34, and there are multiple grooves 341. A console 2 is provided at the front end of the base 1. A projection plate 21 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper end of the base 1. A projector 22 is provided on the upper side of the front end of the projection plate 21. A sand pump 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inside of the base 1. A feed pipe 41 is fixedly connected between the sand pump 4 and the movable groove 11. A connecting pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the sand pump 4. The connecting pipe 42 passes through the front end of the projection plate 21. The first roller 321 and the second roller 331 are both slidably fitted on the outside of the sphere 31, and the fixed ring 34 is fitted on the outside of the sphere 31.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the sphere 31 needs to be installed and placed inside the movable groove 11, so that the sphere 31 fits the first roller 321, the second roller 331 fits the fixed ring 34, and after the preparation work is completed, the projector 22 is started so that the image projected by the projector 22 falls on the upper end of the base 1 and the front end of the projection board 21. When the operation simulation of the Mars rover model 43 is required, the participant starts the first motor 32 by controlling the console 2 on the front side of the upper end of the base 1, so that the first motor 32 rotates with the output shaft and the first roller 321 at the left end, and the first roller 321 rotates with the output shaft. The sliding fit between the cylinder 321 and the sphere 31 causes the first motor 32 to rotate with the sphere 31. When it is necessary to simulate left and right turns, the console 2 is used to control the start of the second motor 33, so that the output shaft of the second motor 33 rotates with the second roller 331 at the upper end. At this time, the image projected by the projector 22 is combined with the relative movement of the Mars rover model 43 on the upper end of the sphere 31 to vividly demonstrate the operation simulation of the Mars rover model 43, so as to achieve the control of the simulated Mars rover movement in a small space through the simulation component 3, and then introduce the Mars rover in a simple and clear way.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the front end of the connecting tube 42 is fixedly connected to a Mars rover model 43, and a leakage groove 431 is opened at the lower end of the Mars rover model 43, and the number of the leakage grooves 431 is two. The front and rear ends of the Mars rover model 43 are movably connected to a rotating rod 5, and the left and right sides of the two rotating rods 5 are fixedly connected to a rotating wheel 511, and a synchronous belt 52 is movably connected between the two rotating wheels 511. The interior of the Mars rover model 43 is inclined, and the outside of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to a baffle 51, and the number of the baffles 51 is two.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, it is first necessary to fill the inside of the Mars rover model 43 with sand. During the simulation operation of the Mars rover model 43, the console 2 controls the movement of the sphere 31, so that the synchronous belt 52 in contact with the upper end of the sphere 31 rotates. Through the movement of the synchronous belt 52, the wheel 511 and the rotating rod 5 rotate, and the baffle 51 rotates as the rotating rod 5 rotates. At this time, the sand inside the Mars rover model 43 moves along the slope inside the Mars rover model 43 under the influence of gravity. When passing through the leakage groove 431, the sand is affected by gravity and falls into the gap between the movable groove 11 and the sphere 31, and then falls into the lower end of the movable groove 11 through the groove 341. At this time, by starting the sand pump 4, the sand pump 4 transports the sand inside the movable groove 11 to the inside of the connecting pipe 42 through the feeding pipe 41, and finally enters the inside of the Mars rover model 43, so as to achieve the purpose of leaving sand marks as the Mars rover moves during the remote control of the Mars rover, thereby clearly simulating the trajectory of the Mars rover and fully understanding the operation of the Mars rover.

[0031] Working principle: When it is necessary to simulate the operation of the Mars rover model 43, when the Mars rover model 43 needs to move, the participant starts the first motor 32 by controlling the control console 2 on the front side of the upper end of the base 1, so that the first motor 32 rotates with the output shaft and the first roller 321 at the left end, and the sliding fit between the first roller 321 and the sphere 31 causes the first motor 32 to rotate with the sphere 31. When it is necessary to simulate left and right turns, the control console 2 is used to control the start of the second motor 33, so that the output shaft of the second motor 33 rotates with the second roller 331 at the upper end. At this time, the image projected by the projector 22 is combined with the relative movement of the Mars rover model 43 on the upper end of the sphere 31, so as to vividly demonstrate the operation simulation of the Mars rover model 43, so as to achieve the control of the simulated Mars rover movement in a small space through the simulation component 3, and then introduce the Mars rover in a simple and clear way.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
