[0047] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the integrated simulation throttle platform 10 for a flight simulator includes a housing assembly 100, a control structure assembly 200, a signal acquisition assembly 300, a control mode switching assembly 400, a power input structure assembly 500 and an electronic system assembly 600. The housing assembly 100 is used to provide an external protection and support structure, ensure the stability and safety of the entire throttle platform, protect the internal components from damage, and provide an overall appearance. Specifically, the shell assembly 100 includes an upper left shell 110, a lower left shell 111, a rear shell 112, a front shell 113, an upper right shell 114, a lower right shell 115, a base 116, an internal mounting plate 118 and a light guide plate 121, etc. The upper left shell 110, the lower left shell 111, the rear shell 112, the front shell 113, the upper right shell 114, the lower right shell 115, the base 116 and the light guide plate 121 together enclose a mounting cavity 117, and the internal mounting plate 118 is arranged in the mounting cavity 117. The internal mounting plate 118 is provided with an operating mounting position 118a, an information collection mounting position 118b, an operating mode switching mounting position 118c and a power input structure mounting position 118d from top to bottom, so as to provide an installation position for the operating structure assembly 200, the signal acquisition assembly 300, the operating mode switching assembly 400, the power input structure assembly 500 and the electronic system assembly 600.

[0048] The control structure assembly 200 includes a joystick 210 and a control transmission gear 211. The joystick 210 is meshed and connected to the signal acquisition assembly 300 through the control transmission gear 211, and is used to provide control of the movement of the throttle in the manual control mode. Through the movement of the joystick 210, the control of the throttle in real flight, such as acceleration or deceleration, can be simulated.

[0049] The signal acquisition component 300 includes an encoder 310 and an encoding gear 311, and the signal acquisition component 300 is used to collect the position information of the joystick 210. The encoding gear 311 is connected to the operating transmission gear 211, and the position information is converted into an electronic signal through the encoder 310, so that the system can read and identify the current position of the throttle. The operating mode switching component 400 includes an operating gear 410 and a first bevel gear 411, which are used to switch different working modes of the throttle. The state of attraction or disconnection between the operating gear 410 and the first bevel gear 411 determines the working mode of the throttle, and the switching between two different modes of manual operation and automatic control can be realized to meet different training or simulation requirements.

[0050] The power input structural component 500 includes a driving device 511 and a second bevel gear 510. The power input structural component 500 is used to control the output power of the driving device 511 to be transmitted to the second bevel gear 510 in the automatic control mode. The second bevel gear 510 transmits power to the control mode switching component 400 and the signal acquisition component 300 by meshing with the first bevel gear 411 to control the operation of the control structural component 200 on the throttle, thereby realizing automatic control of the throttle.

[0051] The electronic system assembly 600 is installed at the bottom and the peripheral side of the housing assembly 100, and the electronic system assembly 600 is in communication connection with the power input structure assembly 500. The electronic system assembly 600 is responsible for processing and transmitting control data, and transmitting the control data to the simulated flight control computer to achieve accurate control and feedback of the throttle.

[0052] In this way, by integrating the control structure component 200, the signal acquisition component 300, the control mode switching component 400, the power input structure component 500 and the electronic system component 600, the integrated simulation throttle platform 10 for the flight simulator can simulate the throttle operation in real flight, provide accurate control feeling and signal acquisition, provide a realistic flight experience, support the free switching of manual and automatic control modes, and meet the needs of flight simulator users.

[0053] The present invention provides an integrated simulation throttle platform 10 for a flight simulator. By integrating a control structure component 200, a signal acquisition component 300, a control mode switching component 400, a power input structure component 500 and an electronic system component 600 into a housing component 100, the simulation throttle platform can be quickly installed on the central control panel of simulators such as FFS, FTD, and IPT. Only a power cord and a network cable connected to a host are required to complete the functional simulation of the aircraft throttle system, so that the simulation throttle platform has strong adaptability, does not require other external associated structures, and the electronic components are safe and controllable, with a short procurement cycle and low cost, and simple and convenient maintenance. At the same time, it can completely replace the real throttle platform for use on aircraft simulators of related models, and the switching between the manual control mode and the automatic flight mode can be realized by operating the first working state and the second working state of the engagement and disconnection between the gear 410 and the first bevel gear 411, and the damping force of the electric throttle lever can be simulated, effectively simulating the aircraft control force feeling.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig.11In one embodiment, the operating mode switching component 400 also includes an electromagnetic brake 412 and a support shaft 413. The operating gear 410, the electromagnetic brake 412, and the first bevel gear 411 are sequentially sleeved on the support shaft 413. The operating gear 410 is fixedly connected to the stator unit of the electromagnetic brake 412, and the first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412. When the stator unit and the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412 are attracted, the first bevel gear 411 and the operating gear 410 are in a first working state. When the stator unit and the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412 are not attracted, the first bevel gear 411 and the operating gear 410 are in a second working state. It is understandable that, in this embodiment, when the simulation throttle platform is in the manual operation mode, the electromagnetic brake 412 is in a power-off state, that is, the stator unit and the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412 are not attracted, and the first bevel gear 411 and the operating gear 410 are in the second working state, and the transmission between the operating gear 410 and the first bevel gear 411 will be disengaged. When the trainer pushes the joystick 210, the operating transmission gear 211 drives the encoding gear 311 to rotate, and the encoding gear 311 transmits the rotation to the encoder 310 and the operating gear 410. Since the transmission between the operating gear 410 and the first bevel gear 411 is in a disengaged state at this time, the rotation will not be transmitted to the power input structural assembly 500. Since the encoding gear 311 is fixedly connected to the encoder 310, the rotation of the joystick 210 and the operating gear 410 is transmitted to the encoder 310, and the rotation angle of the operating transmission gear 211 is recorded by reading the position of the encoder 310, so as to realize the function of collecting the throttle lever position and reading the throttle size.

[0055] When the throttle platform is in the automatic flight state, the electromagnetic brake 412 is in the power-on state, that is, the stator unit and the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412 are mutually attracted, and the first bevel gear 411 and the control gear 410 are in the first working state, and the control gear 410 and the first bevel gear 411 have the same rotation state. The electronic system component 600 obtains the data sent by the simulated flight control computer or other control equipment, processes it, and converts it into the motion instruction of the power input structure component 500. The second bevel gear 510 transfers the rotation of the driving device 511 to the first bevel gear 411 meshed therewith, and transmits the rotation to the signal acquisition component 300 and the control structure component 200 through the control mode switching component 400, thereby realizing the position control of the joystick 210 of the throttle platform and then realizing the automatic flight simulation.

[0056] In this way, the electromagnetic brake 412 controls the switching of the first bevel gear 411 and the control gear 410 between the first working state and the second working state, so as to realize the control of the throttle in the automatic control mode and the manual control mode.

[0057] Reference Figures 2 to 5and Fig.11 In one embodiment, the internal mounting plate 118 is provided with a first through hole 118e, and the first through hole 118e is located on the operating mode switch mounting position 118c. The operating mode switch assembly 400 further includes a first operating fixed support 414, a second operating fixed support 415 and a gear fixing frame 416. The first operating fixed support 414 and the second operating fixed support 415 are respectively provided on both sides of the first through hole 118e and are respectively connected to the two ends of the support shaft 413. The gear fixing frame 416 is connected between the first bevel gear 411 and the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412. It can be understood that the first through hole 118e is located at the mounting position of the operating mode switch, so as to provide a fixed position for the operating mode switch assembly 400 on the internal mounting plate 118, so that the operating mode switch assembly 400 can be correctly installed on the internal mounting plate 118. The first manipulation fixed support 414 and the second manipulation fixed support 415 are respectively located on both sides of the first through hole 118e and connected to the two ends of the support shaft 413, so as to provide support and fixation for the manipulation gear 410, the first bevel gear 411, the electromagnetic brake 412 and the support shaft 413, so that the entire manipulation mode switching assembly 400 can be stably placed on the internal mounting plate 118. The gear fixing frame 416 is connected between the first bevel gear 411 and the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412. It is used to fix the first bevel gear 411 on the armature unit of the electromagnetic brake 412 to ensure that the position and relative relationship between the first bevel gear 411 and the electromagnetic brake 412 are constant. In this way, an accurate installation position is provided through the first through hole 118e, the first manipulation fixed support 414 and the second manipulation fixed support 415 are connected to the support shaft 413, and the gear fixing frame 416 fixes the first bevel gear 411 and the electromagnetic brake 412. This enables the entire control mode switching component 400 to operate normally in the flight simulator and realize the switching function of the throttle control.

[0058] Furthermore, the control mode switching assembly 400 further includes a first sleeve 417 and a second sleeve 418, the first sleeve 417 and the second sleeve 418 are sleeved on the support shaft 413, the two ends of the first sleeve 417 abut between the first control fixing support 414 and the first bevel gear 411, and the second sleeve 418 abuts between the control gear 410 and the gear fixing frame 416. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first sleeve 417 is provided to achieve positioning between the first bevel gear 411 and the first control fixing support 414, and the second sleeve 418 is provided to achieve positioning between the control gear 410 and the gear fixing frame 416, so as to ensure coordinated movement and stability between the components, and enable the control mode switching assembly 400 to accurately switch the throttle control mode.

[0059] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and Fig.11 In one embodiment, the control mode switching assembly 400 further includes a bearing D419, a bearing E420, a bearing F421, a bearing G422 and a bearing H423, wherein the bearing D419 and the bearing E420 are respectively sleeved at both ends of the first sleeve 417 to cooperate with the first sleeve 417 to achieve the positioning between the first bevel gear 411 and the first control fixed support 414. The bearing F421 is sleeved between the gear fixing frame 416 and the support shaft 413 to achieve the rotation and positioning of the gear fixing frame 416. The control gear 410 is connected to the support shaft 413 through the bearing G422 and the bearing H423.

[0060] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 In one embodiment, the axial direction of the second bevel gear 510 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the first bevel gear 411.
