Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of target dummies, and in particular to a target dummy with a thermal signal feedback function. Background Art

[0002] Target dummies play a vital role in many fields such as military training, security testing, and related scientific research experiments. Traditional target dummies can usually only simulate the appearance of the human body and have relatively simple functions. With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of application needs, this simple simulation method can no longer meet the diverse needs of actual scenarios. In military training scenarios, especially for the testing and training of infrared-guided weapons, higher requirements are placed on target dummies. Traditional target dummies cannot simulate the thermal signal characteristics of the human body, making it difficult for soldiers to accurately identify and lock targets through thermal imaging equipment during training. This greatly limits the training effect and the effective evaluation of weapon performance. In order to meet military training scenarios, a target dummy is needed.

[0003] As for the current traditional target dummies, their joint structure design mostly adopts a fixed connection method, which results in an extremely limited range of joint movement, almost in a locked state. This feature makes it impossible for the target dummies to flexibly adjust their posture and movements when responding to diverse training needs. In military training scenarios, traditional target dummies are limited by the immobility of their joints and can only maintain static standing or simple horizontal movements. It is difficult to present complex movement patterns close to actual combat, resulting in a significant reduction in the authenticity of the training scenarios. This single training model is not conducive to training soldiers' reaction speed, target recognition and shooting accuracy in dynamic and complex environments, affecting their training effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
