The eight rotary encoders 9 are installed on the eight sets of planetary simulation devices 3 and connected to the computer host 6 through the serial port server 8.

[0031] like Figure 6-7As shown, each planetary simulation device 3 further includes multiple support rods 301, a planetary assembly 302, a revolution gear ring 303, multiple drive assemblies 304, and a rotation gear ring 305; each support rod 301 has a fixing member 306 at its top, and the revolution gear ring 303 is movably mounted between multiple fixing members 306; both the rotation gear ring 305 and the revolution gear ring 303 are annular frames with a toothed groove structure on the inner side; the rotation gear ring 305 is fixed to the top of each support rod 301; each drive assembly 304 includes a column 307 and a component mounted on the column. A motor 308 is located on the outer side of the top of column 307, and the output end of motor 308 is connected to a first gear 309. A planetary gear ring 303 is installed on the top of multiple columns 307 and meshes with the first gear 309 on its inner side. A limit ring 310 is fixedly installed above the planetary gear ring 303 by multiple rod-like structures. The planetary assembly 302 includes a rotating rod 313 and a planetary model 312 and a second gear 314 respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the rotating rod 313. The rotating rod 313 is movably installed on the limit ring 310. The second gear 314 meshes with the inner side of the rotating gear ring 305.

[0032] Furthermore, the motor controller 7 is connected to the motor 308 on each set of planetary simulation devices 3; each rotary encoder 9 is correspondingly installed on each motor 308.

[0033] Furthermore, the limiting ring 310 is provided with a fixed cylinder 311 for installing the planetary assembly 302, and the rotating rod 313 is movably installed inside the fixed cylinder 311; the outer side of the fixed cylinder 311 is connected to the satellite model 315 through a rod-like structure.

[0034] Furthermore, a protective plate 10 is provided between the glass panel 4 and the base plate 1, with the upper edge of the protective plate 10 connected to the outer side of the glass panel 4 and the lower edge of the protective plate 10 connected to the outer side of the base plate 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the guard plate 10 is provided with an inspection port 101.

[0036] Furthermore, the fixing member 306 is composed of a column 316 and two limiting plates 317, the minimum outer diameter of the limiting plate 317 being greater than the maximum outer diameter of the column 316; the revolving gear ring 303 is installed between the two limiting plates 317.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The user sends commands to the computer host 6 by clicking the touch screen 5. The computer host 6 then controls the motor 308 to start via the motor controller 7. The motor 308 drives the first gear 309 to rotate, and the orbital gear ring 303 meshing with the first gear 309 is also driven. The planetary assembly 302 located on the orbital gear ring 303 revolves around the solar simulation structure 2. During the orbital motion of the planetary assembly 302, the second gear 314 also moves. However, because it meshes with the rotational gear ring 305, and the rotational gear ring 305 is in a fixed state, the second gear 314 rotates, thereby driving the planetary model 312 at the top of the rotating rod 313 to rotate. The entire device thus realizes the rotation and revolution of the planetary model 312.
