The simulated assembly building 2 is based on the real structure, with servo motors installed on the outer doors for opening. The simulated launch tower 3 is based on the real structure, with servo motors installed on the outer doors for opening. The simulated space launch vehicle transport vehicle 4 is based on the real structure, with servo motors installed at the bottom to drive gears and the track in the middle of the platform for mechanical movement, and rising ball bearing slides installed on the side to drive the rocket's ascent and descent.

[0049] All launching mechanical actions are controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC), achieving perfect mirror synchronization with the LED display screen.

[0050] The following is a detailed technical solution of this embodiment, providing a simulation system for the transportation of a space launch vehicle from its modular components to its final launch. It includes:

[0051] (1) Platform Sand Table 1: Tracks are laid in the middle;

[0052] (2) Simulated General Assembly Building 2: Located on the left side of the platform sand table;

[0053] (3) Simulated launch tower 3: Located on the right side of the ground platform sand table;

[0054] (4) Simulated space launch vehicle transfer vehicle 4: parked inside the simulated general assembly building;

[0055] (5) Simulated Space Launch Vehicle 5: Located on the transport vehicle

[0056] (6) Synchronous video playback component 6 (including LED display screen): located at the rear side of the platform

[0057] The LED display screen plays images synchronously with all the launch scene actions.

[0058] The appearance and terrain of the scene model are identical to those of the actual launch scene.

[0059] The simulated assembly building 2 and the simulated launch tower 3 are equipped with LED lights inside; the exterior doors are equipped with servo motors.

[0060] The simulated space launch vehicle 5 is equipped with smoke generators and LED lights inside and at the bottom.

[0061] The platform sand table 1 is made according to the real scene, with a rocket ignition guide channel and a smoke generator inside;

[0062] All of the dynamic actions are controlled by a single button operation of the PLC;

[0063] The entire scenario perfectly illustrates the entire process of transporting, assembling, and launching a space launch vehicle (such as the Long March 5 carrier rocket). It is a repeatable operational exercise.

[0064] To achieve these objectives and other advantages of this utility model, the following details the working process of a simulation system for the Long March 5 carrier rocket from its modular transport to its final launch, including the following steps:

[0065] Step 1: Control the LED display screen via PLC to play the entire scene's start screen;

[0066] Step 2: The PLC controls the servo motor to rotate and open the main door of the simulated assembly building 2;

[0067] Step 3: The PLC controls the servo motor to rotate and transport the simulated space launch vehicle 4 to the simulated launch tower 3. The simulated launch tower 3 stops at the designated position based on the sensor signal.

[0068] Step 4: During the simulated space launch vehicle transfer vehicle 4's movement, the PLC controls the servo motor to rotate and open the tower door of the simulated launch tower 3;

[0069] Step 5: The PLC controls the servo motor to rotate and open the gripper on top of the transfer cart;

[0070] Step Six: After the countdown on the LED display ends, the PLC turns on the smoke generator;

[0071] Step 7: The PLC controls the servo motor above the simulated space launch vehicle transfer car 4 to rotate, simulating the rise of the space launch vehicle 5.

[0072] Step 8: Once the simulated space launch vehicle 5 has risen to a certain altitude and stopped, the LED display screen will continue to play subsequent aerial footage;

[0073] Step Nine: Simulate the return of space launch vehicle 5 to its original state;

[0074] Preferably, all the LED displays simultaneously play corresponding real rocket launch footage;

[0075] All mechanical actions are controlled by a single button from the PLC.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] 2. For example Figure 1 The system includes: a platform sand table 1, a simulated assembly building 2, a simulated launch tower 3, a simulated space launch vehicle transport vehicle 4, a simulated space launch vehicle 5, and a synchronized video playback component 6. The platform sand table 1 is fixed to the ground. The simulated assembly building 2 and the simulated launch tower 3 are fixed to the platform sand table 1. The simulated space launch vehicle transport vehicle 4 is fixed inside the simulated assembly building 2. The synchronized video playback component 6 has an LED display screen and is fixed directly behind the platform sand table 1. The outer doors of the simulated assembly building 2 can be opened / closed via a transmission structure. The simulated space launch vehicle transport vehicle 4 can move back and forth between the simulated assembly building 2 and the simulated launch tower 3 via a transmission structure mounted on its bottom. The doors of the simulated launch tower 3 can be opened / closed via a transmission structure. The simulated space launch vehicle 5 can perform launching maneuvers by ascending and descending via a transmission mechanism mounted on the transport vehicle.

[0078] 3. The following is a separate explanation of each part:

[0079] 4. Simulate the external departments of the main assembly building, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes 5 sets of external doors 8-12; the door transmission structure is as follows Figure 3 The drive consists of a servo motor 15, a reducer 16, a drive shaft 17, a ball bearing 14, and a door panel fixing bracket 13.

[0080] The transmission structure, driven by a motor output and a reducer, rotates the drive shaft via ball bearings, causing the door to rotate 45° left and right, thus completing the opening / closing action. This door transmission structure is installed on the simulated assembly building and is fixed to the door via a door panel mounting bracket.

[0081] 5. Simulated launch tower doors, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes 3 sets of tower doors 18-20; the tower door transmission structure is as follows. Figure 5 The transmission structure consists of a servo motor 22, a reducer 21, a drive shaft 25, a ball bearing 24, and a door panel fixing bracket 23. The motor output rotates the reducer, which in turn drives the drive shaft via the ball bearing to rotate the door horizontally, completing the opening / closing action. This tower door transmission structure is installed on the simulated launch tower and is connected and fixed to the door via the door panel fixing bracket 23.

[0082] 6. The transmission structure of the simulated space launch vehicle transfer vehicle 4 is as follows: Figure 6As shown, the system comprises a servo motor 26, a reducer 27, a transmission gear 28, a transmission rack 29, a fixed base plate 32, a slider 30, and a slide rail 31. The transmission structure, driven by the motor output rotating the reducer, drives the transmission gear and rack, which in turn cause the slider to move back and forth between the simulated assembly building 2 and the simulated launch tower 3 via the slide rail fixed to the platform. The slider is fixed to the base plate; the base plate is fixed to the simulated space launch vehicle transport vehicle 4.

[0083] 7. Simulated space launch vehicle 5 ascending transmission structure, such as Figure 7 Figure 8 As shown, it comprises a servo motor 38, a reducer 37, a drive shaft (lead screw) 34, a drive ball bearing (nut) 35, a fixed base plate 32, a slider 36, a slide rail 33, a rocket 39, and a support plate 40. The bottom of the simulated space launch vehicle 5 is fixed to the support plate, and the support plate is fixed to the slider and the drive ball bearing. The lifting transmission structure, driven by the reducer rotating the motor output, drives the drive shaft, which in turn moves the slider via the slide rail fixed to the transfer vehicle, thus realizing the lifting and lowering operation of the simulated space launch vehicle 5.

[0084] 8. Claw drive structure as follows Figure 9 As shown, it comprises a servo motor 41, a reducer 42, a drive shaft 45, a drive bearing 43, and a gripper 44. The transmission structure, driven by the motor output rotating the reducer, drives the drive shaft via the drive bearing to rotate the gripper, completing the gripping action. This transmission structure is mounted on the column of the transport vehicle and fixed to the column via a fixed bracket.

[0085] 9. The entire scene is equipped with control circuits and PLC control unit modules, which control all the work of the simulated assembly building, transport vehicle, rocket, simulated launch tower, LED display screen, and the actions of each servo motor.
