Description

Enclosed base Technical Field

[0001] The fields of mechanical devices and transportation technology, aerospace technology, and equipment used in spaceflight. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, this type of equipment mainly consists of various types of containers and tents made of various materials. Containers are too bulky and inconvenient to transport, install, and use. Tents, on the other hand, are too scattered and cannot be used to house people or store goods. Technical issues

[0003] This technical problem was created for China (or other countries) to establish a lunar base for manned lunar landings, or to establish a Martian base for manned landings on Mars (as well as to build bases on Earth for temporary residence or temporary cargo storage). Technical solutions

[0004] The base can be constructed using aluminum alloy sheets with a thickness of 6 mm to 12 mm (or other sizes). Alternatively, other lightweight and high-strength materials such as carbon fiber composites, titanium alloys, polyethylene, and polypropylene can be used. The base can be made into a 3m*2.5m*2.5m rectangular (box-shaped) or cylindrical base (the cylindrical base is similar to the rectangular base in terms of manufacturing and sealing methods, but the shape is cylindrical). Beneficial effects

[0005] It can provide astronauts with a warm, comfortable, radiation-proof, and high-energy cosmic ray-proof living and working environment with a standard atmosphere of pressure. Attached Figure Description

[0008] Custom-made 10mm or 12mm thick aluminum alloy sheets (or titanium alloy sheets, carbon fiber composite sheets, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) are machine-cut into 10mm or 12mm thick (or other sizes), 10-meter long (or other sizes), and 3-meter wide (or other sizes) aluminum alloy sheets. If there are six compartment sections, six aluminum alloy sheets of the corresponding specifications must be custom-made. These are then stamped into the box-type compartment sections on a stamping machine, welded at the joints, and finely polished, with the dimensional error not exceeding 0.3mm.

[0009] The largest prefabricated cubic (box-shaped) compartment has an inner diameter of 2.5 meters in height and width, and a length of 3 meters.

[0010] It can be divided into 6 to 10 segments, with the outer diameter of each segment being only 1 cm smaller than the inner diameter of the previous segment, and a gap of only 0.5 cm between each side.

[0011] If nested 10 times, the largest box has an inner diameter of 2.5 meters, while the smallest box, after being reduced layer by layer, will have an inner diameter of 2.23 meters. After being pulled out and sealed, it will be nearly 30 meters long, and the internal space of the base can reach more than 140 cubic meters.

[0012] The enclosed base weighs approximately 3 tons.

[0013] Each outer wall section has two rows of convex guide rails at the bottom and top. These convex guide rails can be designed in a triangular shape, with the apex of the triangle engaging with a concave guide rail groove inside the upper box-shaped module. The concave guide rail groove is designed in a trapezoidal shape, with the apex facing a flat surface to minimize friction. Each box-shaped module has two rows of concave guide rail grooves at the top and bottom of its inner wall for easy pulling out of the module. After landing on the moon, the astronauts can open the sealed door on one side of the outermost box by pulling the handle on the outside of the outermost box and descending the guide rail ramp. They can then inject cryogenic lubricant into the concave guide rail grooves between the nested boxes to further reduce friction.

[0014] The outermost module is equipped with a tracked movement system, 10 centimeters high, powered by a battery pack stored inside the smallest container module of the base. Start-up, stopping, and forward movement are all automatically controlled remotely from Earth. After the lunar module lands on the moon, the hatch automatically opens, and the base container module, controlled remotely from Earth, starts moving to a suitable position (preferably landing on a flat area). When astronauts install the container base, they pull it out layer by layer and seal it with rubber ring joints, or with interlocking grooves (or other sealing methods). They also carry low-temperature liquid sealant to reliably seal the external and internal seams.

[0015] At the bottom of the compartment, pads made of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials can be placed to make the base balanced, stable, and unbiased.

[0016] Solar panels are placed on guide rails at the top of each container section to power the enclosed base.

[0017] Prefabricated circuit connectors are embedded in the inner and outer walls of each compartment to connect to the solar power supply circuit, providing power to various scientific research instruments.

[0018] The largest and smallest modules each have a closed gable wall at one end with a sealed door. This is reserved for three reasons: first, to allow for the addition of modules later; second, to allow for the construction of decompression chambers for astronauts to enter and exit the base; and third, to ensure that both ends of the entire base are already sealed off.

[0019] (A small decompression chamber is installed outside the sealed door of the outermost box-type module. This completes the entire lunar base construction on Earth. Upon arrival on the Moon, two astronauts will pull out the lunar base box-type module, measure the seal, and inflate it using an inflation pressurization device.) (The small decompression chamber can also be installed outside the sealed door of the innermost box-type module. This completes the entire lunar base construction on Earth. An additional isolation wall can be installed inside the innermost box-type module, also with a sealed door.) (Small decompression chamber specifications: 2 meters high, 1.2 meters wide, 1 meter thick. Prefabricated rectangular shape, one side exposed, with pre-drilled nuts for fixing to the outermost box-type module, on the side with the sealed door, ensuring a seal.) The standardized specifications for the sealed door of the enclosed base are: 1.9 meters high, 1 meter wide, and 0.1-0.5 meters thick.

[0020] The enclosed base used on the moon has a rectangular inner lining made of integrated flexible sealing and thermal insulation material inside the aluminum alloy box section. The shape and size of the inner lining are consistent with the shape of the box section. When the enclosed base is inflated on the moon through an inflation and pressurization device, the inner lining will expand and fill the internal space of the base, which can both increase the reliability of the seal and provide thermal insulation for the base.

[0021] Enclosed bases for use on Earth can be constructed using materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and stainless steel plates, and can be fastened with bolts, riveted, or hot-melt welded, for use as living quarters or for storing goods.

[0022] Industrial applicability

[0023] Once the box-like modules of the enclosed base built on Earth are fully pulled out and sealed on the Moon, they form an enclosed base approximately 17 to 30 meters long. Sequence List Free Content

Claims

1. The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient, quick, and easy-to-construct method for manufacturing and installing a closed lunar base (or a base for other uses on Earth). This method fully utilizes the cargo space inside the lunar lander carried by the National Space Administration's launch rocket. The closed base is prefabricated on Earth and securely fixed within the cargo space of the lunar lander. After landing on the moon, installation can be completed manually or automatically. This eliminates the need for on-lunar construction, as the lunar environment is harsh, with an extremely high vacuum, limiting astronaut activity and lacking basic construction conditions. For example, assuming the cargo space inside the lunar lander is 4m*3m*3m (length, width, height), a closed lunar base with dimensions of 3m*2.5m*2.5m can be manufactured on Earth. If the cargo space inside the lunar lander has other dimensions, a base of that size can be constructed.

2. The base uses solar panels to power high-performance, high-capacity battery packs. The solar panels are placed on the top of the base and connected by quick-connect wiring connectors. The battery packs and solar panels can be detached and placed inside the cabin for easy transportation and repeated installation. It is environmentally friendly and energy-saving. Through software and hardware solutions, it can be equipped with automated and artificial intelligence equipment, as well as communication and control equipment.

3. A closed base for use on the Moon (Mars, Earth), with (or without) a rectangular inner lining made of integrated flexible sealing and thermal insulation material. The shape and size of the inner lining are consistent with the shape of the box section. When the closed base is inflated on the Moon by an inflation and pressurization device, the inner lining will expand and fill the internal space of the base, which can increase the reliability of the seal and provide thermal insulation for the base.

4. Bases (camps) for use on the Moon (Mars) or Earth, using cylindrical or cubic (box-shaped) outer bodies, employing multi-layered nested compartments, and a pull-out structure with guide rails (or pulleys, flat contact). Sealing or non-sealing can be selected according to actual needs. The base is made of materials such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, polyethylene, polypropylene, and stainless steel.
