Simulation device for steering wheel of airplane flight simulator

Abstract

The invention relates to a simulation device for a steering wheel of an airplane flight simulator. The device mainly consists of a steering wheel surface, a transmission mechanism, angular displacement sensors, a mechanical structure, a serial bus (USB), an HID (Human Interface Device), and the like. By controlling the steering wheel to make longitudinal displacement and rotary displacement around a vertical shaft, the device controls the state of elevators and the state of ailerons of the flight simulator, thus controlling the flight attitude; and the device simulates the operating force of an airplane through a spring and the structural frictional force. The device has a simple structure and high simulation degree, and directly measures the displacement value of the steering wheel by adopting an aileron angular displacement sensor and an elevator angular displacement sensor, thus avoiding the error of mechanical transmission of indirect measurement and achieving high measurement accuracy. The device adopts a universal interface so that a driver does not need to be installed on a computer of a host machine, and the device can be applied to different types of flight simulators.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flight simulation, in particular to an aircraft flight simulator steering wheel simulation device with simple structure and capable of simulating control loads. 【Background technique】 [0002] Aircraft flight simulators are typical human-in-the-loop simulation systems. It is a test and training device that simulates the flight state, flight environment and flight conditions of the aircraft when performing flight tasks, and provides pilots with similar control loads, vision, hearing, and kinematic sensations. On the flight simulator, the pilot can manipulate the steering wheel, pedals and other control loads on the ground in exactly the same way as on the actual aircraft, and can experience various sensations when the aircraft is flying in the air. The use of flight simulators for flight training has the advantages of improving training efficiency, saving training funds, ensuring flight safety, and redu...

Problems solved by technology

These two methods have high precision, but the structure is complex, the cost is high, and mathematical models under various working modes need to be established. The force feeling, especially the friction force is not easy to control, and a dedicated interface or server is required to complete the communication.

The flexibility and compatibility of the aircraft flight simulator cockpit simulation device are greatly limited
