Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a device for command interaction and operational status indication, and for sending emergency commands in emergency situations. It is applicable to ships whose missions require close coordination of navigation operations and belongs to the field of naval vessels. Background Technology

[0002] The ship's bridge is the core of navigation command, responsible for controlling the ship's navigation and ensuring navigational safety. While naval missions often require the ship to maintain certain navigational conditions, sudden navigational threats may necessitate emergency maneuvers. The navigation command personnel in the navigation control area need to issue instructions to the mission command personnel in the operational command area, reminding them to take emergency measures. Therefore, a stable and continuous command exchange needs to be established between the navigation control room and the mission command room.

[0003] Currently, shipboard operational and navigation command centers primarily communicate via voice means such as telephones. However, these voice interactions are all conducted manually, which can lead to delays due to busy lines. Furthermore, prolonged calls can distract personnel, compromising the continuity and reliability of status confirmation during extended operations. Simultaneously, the bridge needs to accurately grasp the current operational status during personnel changes to prevent operational errors. Therefore, shipboard bridge and related operational command centers require the development of a device capable of stable and continuous command interaction and status indication, and also able to send emergency commands in emergency situations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a navigation mission condition interaction and indication device that can stably and continuously perform command interaction and condition indication, and can send emergency commands in emergency situations to improve the efficiency of operational navigation command interaction. This device is suitable for ships whose mission execution requires close coordination of navigation operations.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is to provide a navigation mission status interaction and indication device, characterized in that it includes a cockpit mission status indication panel installed in the cockpit, a cockpit top display panel installed on the top of the cockpit, and mission status transmission panels for N operation command locations or control consoles for relevant operation command locations, where N≥2, wherein:

[0006] The cockpit mission status indicator is used to receive mission requests, send navigation alerts and emergency maneuvers, and has audible and visual alarm functions. It interacts with the mission status sending boards of various operation command positions or the control consoles of relevant operation command positions via contact signals. The mission status sending boards of operation command positions or the control consoles of relevant operation command positions are used to send mission requests / stops, receive navigation alerts and emergency maneuvers, and have audible and visual alarm functions. The cockpit mission status indicator sends commands to the display board on the top of the cockpit via a serial port. The display board on the top of the cockpit is used to display the current mission status of the cockpit.

[0007] Preferably, the cockpit mission status indicator panel is embedded in the control panel inside the cockpit and is used to receive mission requests, send navigation alerts, and perform emergency maneuvers.

[0008] Preferably, the cab task status indicator panel is equipped with task request indicator lights that correspond one-to-one with the task status sending panel of the task command center. The N task request indicator lights receive instructions from the corresponding task status sending panel or control console of the task command center through contact signals.

[0009] Preferably, the cockpit task status indicator panel is equipped with navigation standby buttons that correspond one-to-one with the task status transmission panel of the operation command center. The N navigation standby buttons send instructions to the corresponding task status transmission panel of the operation command center or the control console of the relevant operation command center through contact signals.

[0010] Preferably, the cab task status indicator panel is equipped with an emergency maneuver button, which sends instructions to the task status sending panels of N operation command points or the control consoles of relevant operation command points through an emergency maneuver contact signal.

[0011] Preferably, the cab task status indicator panel is equipped with a buzzer. When the task request indicator receives a command from the corresponding task status transmission panel of the task command center via a contact signal, or when the emergency maneuver button is pressed, the buzzer sounds an alarm. When the navigation standby button is pressed, the buzzer, which originally sounded an alarm because the task request indicator received a command from the task status transmission panel or control console, stops sounding.

[0012] Preferably, the cab task status indicator panel is equipped with a mute button for silencing the alarm of the buzzer, a test light button for testing the work request indicator light, and a dimming button for adjusting the brightness of the work request indicator light.

[0013] Preferably, a work request button is provided on the task status sending board at the work command center or on the control panel. When the work request button is pressed, a command is sent to the task status indicator board in the cab via a contact signal, causing the corresponding work request indicator light to light up and the buzzer to sound an alarm. When the work request button is pressed again, a command is sent to the task status indicator board in the cab via a contact signal, causing the corresponding work request indicator light to turn off and the buzzer to stop sounding an alarm.

[0014] Preferably, a navigation standby indicator light is provided on the task status sending board of the operation command position or the control console. The navigation standby indicator light receives the instruction issued by the task status indicator board in the cockpit through a contact signal. When the navigation standby button is pressed, the navigation standby indicator light on the corresponding task status sending board or control console of the operation command position is lit up.

[0015] Preferably, the task status transmission board at the operation command post or the control panel is equipped with an emergency maneuvering light, a second buzzer, a silencer button for silencing the second buzzer, and a test button for testing the navigation standby indicator and the emergency maneuvering light. Specifically: the emergency maneuvering light receives instructions from the task status indicator board in the cockpit via an emergency maneuvering contact signal; when the emergency maneuvering button is pressed, the emergency maneuvering light illuminates; when the emergency maneuvering button is pressed again, the emergency maneuvering light extinguishes. The second buzzer receives instructions from the task status indicator board in the cockpit via an emergency maneuvering contact signal; when the emergency maneuvering button is pressed, the second buzzer sounds an alarm; when the emergency maneuvering button is pressed again, the second buzzer stops sounding.

[0016] This invention establishes an information interaction device by installing a control board or control interface in the cockpit and the operation command area. Information communication is conducted through contact signals to exchange task requests, navigation preparations, and emergency maneuver commands. At the same time, the current task status of the cockpit is displayed on the top of the cockpit, realizing reliable interaction of navigation commands and prompts of the cockpit status.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the navigation mission status interaction and indication device disclosed in this invention includes a cockpit mission status indicator board, a cockpit top display board, and mission status transmission boards or control consoles located at various operational command positions. The cockpit mission status indicator board exchanges commands with the mission status transmission boards or control consoles at various operational command positions via contact signals, and the cockpit mission status indicator board sends commands to the cockpit top display board via a serial port.

[0026] A task status indicator panel is installed in the cockpit. In this embodiment, the task status indicator panel is embedded in the control panel inside the cockpit and is used to receive task requests, send navigation alerts, and perform emergency maneuvers. The task status indicator panel has audible and visual alarm functions, as well as power indication, test lights, mute, and dimming functions. It also provides an interface with the control console of the relevant operation command center, allowing for task status interaction with other external control consoles.

[0027] Combination Figure 3In this embodiment, the cab task status indicator panel is equipped with task request indicator lights that correspond one-to-one with the task status sending panels of the operation command units. In this embodiment, operation command unit task status sending panels are arranged at four operation command units, resulting in four task request indicator lights 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the cab task status indicator panel. These four indicator lights receive instructions from the corresponding operation command unit task status sending panels via contact signals. The cab task status indicator panel also has navigation standby buttons 5 that correspond one-to-one with the operation command unit task status sending panels. Similarly, in this embodiment, four navigation standby buttons 5 are provided on the cab task status indicator panel. These navigation standby buttons 5 send instructions to the corresponding operation command unit task status sending panels or the control consoles of the relevant operation command units via contact signals.

[0028] The cab task status indicator panel is also equipped with an emergency maneuver button 6. The emergency maneuver button 6 sends instructions to the task status transmission board of each operation command post or the control console of the relevant operation command post through the emergency maneuver contact signal.

[0029] The cockpit task status indicator panel is also equipped with a buzzer 10. When the task request indicator lights 1, 2, 3, or 4 receive instructions from the corresponding task status transmission panel of the task command center via contact signals, or when the emergency maneuver button 6 is pressed, the buzzer 10 will sound an alarm. When the navigation standby button 5 is pressed, the buzzer 10, which was originally sounding an alarm because the task request indicator lights 1, 2, 3, or 4 received instructions from the task status transmission panel of the task command center, will stop sounding.

[0030] The cab task status indicator panel is also equipped with a mute button 7, which can be used to mute the alarm of the buzzer 10.

[0031] The cab task status indicator panel is also equipped with a test light button 8, which can be used to test the work request indicator lights 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.

[0032] The cab task status indicator panel is also equipped with a dimming button 9, which can adjust the brightness of the work request indicator lights 1, 2, 3, and 4.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a display panel is installed on the top of the cab to display the current operational status of the cab. In this embodiment, since task status transmission boards are arranged at four different work command points, the display panel on the top of the cab can display the current operational status of the cab for four different tasks.

[0034] The task status transmission board for the operation command position is installed at the relevant operation command position. It is used to send task requests / stops, receive navigation backup and emergency maneuvers, and has audible and visual alarm functions. In addition, it also has functions such as power indication, test lights, mute, and dimming.

[0035] In this embodiment, four task status transmission boards are arranged at four work command posts, respectively. Each task status transmission board has the same structure and is equipped with the following features:

[0036] When the work request button 11 is pressed, it sends a command to the task status indicator panel in the cab via a contact signal, causing the corresponding work request indicator light 1, 2, 3 or 4 to light up and the buzzer 10 to sound an alarm. When the work request button 11 is pressed again, it sends a command to the task status indicator panel in the cab via a contact signal, causing the corresponding work request indicator light 1, 2, 3 or 4 to turn off and the buzzer 10 to stop sounding an alarm.

[0037] The navigation standby indicator light 12 receives instructions from the task status indicator board in the cockpit via contact signals. When the navigation standby button 5 is pressed, the navigation standby indicator light 12 on the task status transmission board of the corresponding operation command unit is lit up.

[0038] Emergency maneuvering light 13 receives instructions from the cab task status indicator via an emergency maneuvering contact signal: when emergency maneuvering button 6 is pressed, emergency maneuvering light 13 is illuminated; when emergency maneuvering button 6 is pressed again, emergency maneuvering light 13 is extinguished.

[0039] Buzzer 14 receives instructions from the cab task status indicator via an emergency maneuver contact signal: when the emergency maneuver button 6 is pressed, buzzer 14 generates an alarm; when the emergency maneuver button 6 is pressed again, buzzer 14 stops the alarm.

[0040] The mute button 16 can be used to mute the alarm of the buzzer 14.

[0041] The test light button 17 can be used to test the navigation standby indicator light 12 and the emergency maneuver light 13.

[0042] Another implementation method is to not set up a separate task status transmission board for the operation command center, but to set all the components that were previously set up on the task status transmission board for the operation command center on the control console of the relevant operation command center.

[0043] In actual use, at the start of a mission, when the mission requires the ship to navigate according to the instructed navigation conditions, a mission navigation request is sent to the bridge mission status indicator board via the mission status transmission board at the operations command center or a console with an interface. When the bridge adjusts the navigation conditions to the required mission conditions, it sends a navigation standby instruction to the relevant mission command center's mission status transmission board or a console with an interface via the bridge mission status indicator board. Simultaneously, the standby mission status is displayed on the bridge's top display panel. During navigation, if an emergency maneuver is required due to an unforeseen event, the bridge sends an emergency maneuver instruction to the relevant mission command center's mission status transmission board or a console with an interface via the bridge mission status indicator board, reminding them to take necessary safety measures. After the mission is completed, the mission unit stops sending mission navigation requests to the bridge mission status indicator board via the operations command center's mission status transmission board or a console with an interface. The equipment provides audible and visual alarms during mission requests, mission termination, and emergency maneuvers.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, when work is required at the work command center, the corresponding request button 11 is pressed and locked via the task status transmission board or the control panel of the relevant work command center. This locks the work request contact, illuminates the corresponding work request indicator lights 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the task status indicator board in the cab, and simultaneously triggers an alarm via buzzer 10 to alert the cab personnel that a work request has been sent from the work command center. Upon receiving the request, the cab personnel adjust the navigation attitude according to the pre-communicated navigation conditions. After adjusting to the required navigation attitude, they press the corresponding work task's navigation standby button 5 (with a protective cover) and lock it. This stops the alarm on buzzer 10, closes the navigation standby contact signal, and illuminates the corresponding navigation standby indicator light 12 on the task status transmission board or control panel of the relevant work command center. Simultaneously, the corresponding work status display on the cab top display panel turns red. During navigation, in case of an emergency requiring emergency maneuver, the operator will lock the emergency maneuver button 6 on the task status indicator panel in the bridge, triggering an alarm on buzzer 10, closing the emergency maneuver contact signal, causing the emergency maneuver light 13 on the corresponding task status transmission board or control panel to flash, and simultaneously triggering an alarm on buzzer 14. After the emergency maneuver is completed, the operator will press the emergency maneuver button 6 again on the task status indicator panel in the bridge to unlock the button, disconnecting the emergency maneuver contact signal, extinguishing the emergency maneuver light 13 on the corresponding task status transmission board or control panel, and stopping the alarm on buzzer 14. After the operation is completed, the operator in the operation command position presses the request button 11 on the task status sending board or the control panel of the relevant operation command position to cancel the self-locking. The operation request contact is disconnected, and the corresponding operation request indicator lights 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the task status indicator board in the cab are turned off. At the same time, an alarm is sounded through buzzer 10. The operator in the cab then presses the navigation standby button 5 on the task status indicator board in the cab to cancel the self-locking. The navigation standby contact signal is disconnected, and the navigation standby indicator light 12 on the corresponding task status sending board or control panel of the operation command position is turned off. At the same time, the corresponding operation status display on the display panel on the top of the cab turns black. The mute buttons 7 and 16 on the task status indicator board in the cab and the task status sending board of the operation command position can respectively mute the alarms of buzzers 10 and 14, and the test light buttons 8 and 15 can respectively test the lights on the control panel.
