Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aviation training simulation technology, and particularly to an aviation training simulation system, especially to an aviation training simulation training system. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional aviation operations training primarily involves theoretical instruction, while practical training presents significant challenges. For example, training on various in-flight cockpit operating equipment is difficult for trainees to master through on-site simulations. Proficiency in operating these devices is a core component of basic trainee assessments. Currently, some training programs have developed basic systems for trainee training. For instance, CN118887848A discloses an aviation cabin simulation training system, including: a control testing module to generate a simulation model based on current input test data; a model partitioning module to partition the simulation model into multiple grid regions and calculate the grid sensitivity coefficient for each region; a simulation adjustment module to adjust the grid regions and determine the user's testing performance in different grid regions under different training tasks; and a planning module to select a plan scheme corresponding to the current test based on the testing performance and grid sensitivity coefficients of different grid regions, and to verify the comprehensive evaluation results of the current test based on the obtained plan scheme. This achieves the technical effects of improving training realism, comprehensively simulating complex environments, accurately evaluating training effectiveness, and enhancing training efficiency and safety.

[0003] The aforementioned system allows trainees to experience real-world scenarios through simulation, but there is a significant difference between this and actual operation. The proficiency in actual operation is directly related to the trainees' real-world response and handling capabilities in response to emergencies. These should be the core components of the trainees' basic assessment. Therefore, this invention researches and designs an aviation training simulation system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the present invention provides an aviation training simulation system.

[0005] Its main technical solutions are as follows:

[0006] This invention provides an aviation training simulation system, comprising:

[0007] The simulation chamber, and the simulation control system installed inside the simulation chamber;

[0008] The analog control system includes:

[0009] The setting module is used to set the operating mode of the analog control system;

[0010] The logic control module is configured to: control the operating devices deployed in different areas of the simulation cabin by setting corresponding control units (Ⅰ); connect the control units corresponding to the interlinked operating devices through a logic chain to form a joint control (Ⅱ); and generate a monitor (Ⅲ) based on the joint control between the control units to monitor the changes in the state of the operating devices caused by the control units controlling the operating devices.

[0011] The control unit is used to control the operating device in the corresponding area and configure the operating device to perform actions based on the set rules in the set operating mode. Under the control of the set rules, the operating device changes from a first state to a second state. While controlling the operating device to perform actions, a reference clock is simultaneously activated, and the reference clock is used as a reference to record the first assessment weight when the operating device changes from the first state to the second state.

[0012] The monitor determines whether the operation device's transition from the first state to the second state triggers a chain reaction with other associated operation devices. If so, the reference clock is used to record the second assessment weight when other associated operation devices reach a set threshold.

[0013] The comparison module obtains the corresponding assessment level by comparing the first assessment weight and the second assessment weight with the set assessment level results.

[0014] Furthermore, the setting module has:

[0015] Several setting units, each setting unit corresponding to an operating device, the setting unit being used to set the operating mode of the corresponding operating device;

[0016] Furthermore, the operating mode of each operating device is set such that, according to different setting rules, the operating device has different state transitions.

[0017] Furthermore, the setting rules are compiled through a program set within the programmable controller;

[0018] Furthermore, the program has a parameter setting section, which is used to set control parameters when the operating device performs an action;

[0019] The logic setting unit is used to set the execution logic of the setting rules according to different control parameters. Each control parameter has a unique corresponding execution logic, and each execution logic is used to control the operating device to perform corresponding actions according to the set control parameters. The execution logic is written into the corresponding control unit in the logic control module.

[0020] Furthermore, when the operating device is controlled according to the control parameters, the operating device changes from one state to another.

[0021] Furthermore, the logic control module has:

[0022] Several control units, each control unit having multiple corresponding setting rules, and execution logic for controlling the setting rules by setting control parameters, wherein the operating device is set to change from one state to another under different setting rules;

[0023] The joint control unit has several logic chains. Each logic chain is used to connect two related control units. When one of the control operation devices in the related control units performs an action, the logic chain controls the corresponding control matching operation device of the other control unit to perform a follow-up action or a chain action.

[0024] The monitor, based on the activation of the corresponding logic chain in the joint control unit, is used to monitor the state changes of the operating device when the control unit controls the operating device.

[0025] Furthermore, the logical chain is formed in the following manner:

[0026] When any operating device changes from one state to another under the control of its corresponding control unit, causing other operating devices to follow or chain actions under their corresponding control units, the control units corresponding to at least two related operating devices that generate the following or chain actions are connected through a logic chain.

[0027] Furthermore, the monitor is used to determine the time recorded by a reference clock when the operating device changes from one state to another, and to form an assessment weight based on the recorded time.

[0028] Furthermore, the logic control module also includes a control unit, which has:

[0029] The logic chain tracing unit is used to acquire the logic chain and the control units that are associated with the logic chain.

[0030] The activation unit is connected to the logic chain tracking unit, activates the monitoring unit according to the acquired logic chain, configures a monitor for each logic chain, tracks the control units that are associated with the logic chain according to the monitor, and monitors the state changes of the operating device when the control unit controls the operating device based on the tracking of the control unit.

[0031] Furthermore, the monitor is configured to construct a monitoring path with control units that are associated with each other in the logical chain, and to configure the monitoring path to the operating device corresponding to the control unit. The monitor monitors the status of the operating device according to the monitoring path.

[0032] Furthermore, the monitor has a configuration unit. Based on the operating device corresponding to the monitoring path, the changes in the internal parameter information of the operating device during the transition from one state to another are written into the configuration unit to form a standard monitoring benchmark. When the monitor monitors the status of the operating device according to the monitoring path, it acquires the internal parameter information of the operating device and compares the internal parameter information with the standard monitoring benchmark in real time to view the status changes of the operating device.

[0033] This application provides an aviation training simulation system for use in real-world scenarios. Equipped inside an aircraft cabin, it simulates and assesses the operation of the equipment within the cabin. The system can realistically reflect the trainee's actual reaction and processing capabilities when operating the equipment, and assigns scores to these capabilities for assessment.

[0034] This application can simulate various complex situations in an aircraft cabin, such as fire, depressurization at high speed, and significant turbulence, to test trainees' reaction and handling abilities; it transforms simulated teaching into practical teaching and assessment to enhance trainees' practical skills.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] Reference Figure 1 The present invention provides an aviation training simulation system, comprising:

[0044] The simulation chamber, and the simulation control system installed inside the simulation chamber;

[0045] The analog control system includes:

[0046] The setting module is used to set the operating mode of the analog control system;

[0048] The control unit is used to control the operating device in the corresponding area and configure the operating device to perform actions based on the set rules in the set operating mode. Under the control of the set rules, the operating device changes from a first state to a second state. While controlling the operating device to perform actions, a reference clock is simultaneously activated, and the reference clock is used as a reference to record the first assessment weight when the operating device changes from the first state to the second state.

[0049] The monitor determines whether the operation device's transition from the first state to the second state triggers a chain reaction with other associated operation devices. If so, the reference clock is used to record the second assessment weight when other associated operation devices reach a set threshold.

[0050] The comparison module obtains the corresponding assessment level by comparing the first assessment weight and the second assessment weight with the set assessment level results.

[0051] Furthermore, the setting module has:

[0052] Several setting units, each setting unit corresponding to an operating device, the setting unit being used to set the operating mode of the corresponding operating device;

[0053] Furthermore, the operating mode of each operating device is set such that, according to different setting rules, the operating device has different state transitions.

[0054] Furthermore, the setting rules are compiled through a program set within the programmable controller;

[0055] Furthermore, the program has a parameter setting section, which is used to set control parameters when the operating device performs an action;

[0056] The logic setting unit is used to set the execution logic of the setting rules according to different control parameters. Each control parameter has a unique corresponding execution logic, and each execution logic is used to control the operating device to perform corresponding actions according to the set control parameters. The execution logic is written into the corresponding control unit in the logic control module.

[0057] Furthermore, when the operating device is controlled according to the control parameters, the operating device changes from one state to another.

[0058] Furthermore, the logic control module has:

[0059] Several control units, each control unit having multiple corresponding setting rules, and execution logic for controlling the setting rules by setting control parameters, wherein the operating device is set to change from one state to another under different setting rules;

[0060] The joint control unit has several logic chains. Each logic chain is used to connect two related control units. When one of the control operation devices in the related control units performs an action, the logic chain controls the corresponding control matching operation device of the other control unit to perform a follow-up action or a chain action.

[0061] The monitor, based on the activation of the corresponding logic chain in the joint control unit, is used to monitor the state changes of the operating device when the control unit controls the operating device.

[0062] Furthermore, the logical chain is formed in the following manner:

[0063] When any operating device changes from one state to another under the control of its corresponding control unit, causing other operating devices to follow or chain actions under their corresponding control units, the control units corresponding to at least two related operating devices that generate the following or chain actions are connected through a logic chain.

[0064] Furthermore, the monitor is used to determine the time recorded by a reference clock when the operating device changes from one state to another, and to form an assessment weight based on the recorded time.

[0070] This application provides an aviation training simulation system for use in real-world scenarios. Equipped inside an aircraft cabin, it simulates and assesses the operation of the equipment within the cabin. The system can realistically reflect the trainee's actual reaction and processing capabilities when operating the equipment, and assigns scores to these capabilities for assessment.

[0071] This application enables the simulation of various complex situations within an aircraft cabin, such as fire, high-speed depressurization, and significant turbulence, to assess trainees' reaction and handling abilities. It transforms simulated teaching into practical instruction and assessment, thereby enhancing trainees' practical skills.

[0072] Example 2:

[0073] This application is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2 and 3 This application is described in detail.

[0074] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 A partial schematic diagram of an aircraft cabin is provided. As part of the embodiments, in the implementation of this application, the aircraft cabin is a relatively enclosed space to simulate a real aircraft.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 The cabin includes a base 21, on which multiple seats 22 are arranged. Above the seats 22, there are overhead bins 24. At the bottom of the overhead bins 24, there are oxygen mask storage mechanisms corresponding to the seats 22. Windows are provided on the cabin body 1 next to the seats 22, and each window is equipped with a sunshade 23. An emergency door 2 is also provided on the cabin body. A cabin door 3 is provided at the front of the cabin body. An exhaust fan 25 is provided on the cabin body above the emergency door 2.

[0076] A temporary seat 27 is located directly in front of the main seat, and a display 26 is installed above the temporary seat. The display 26 is connected to the aviation training simulation system to display the assessment results.

[0077] At least four hydraulic systems are installed at the bottom of the base. The aforementioned aircraft cabin is basically consistent with the facilities on real aircraft.

[0078] The aviation training simulation system described in this application is deployed inside the aircraft cabin.

[0079] Taking depressurization as an example, the depressurization state inside the cabin is simulated by an induced draft fan. Once depressurization occurs, the trainee needs to immediately open the oxygen mask and quickly and correctly put it on for oxygen supply. In this application, when depressurization occurs, the trainee needs to touch the on / off switch on the oxygen mask storage mechanism, treating the on / off switch as one of the operating devices. After the on / off switch is opened, the oxygen mask is quickly released and treated as another operating device. At this time, the trainee quickly puts on the oxygen mask and turns on the gas supply switch. The entire emergency operation is completed after the gas supply switch is turned on and off. During this process, the time it takes for the on / off switch to open and close after depressurization and the time it takes for the gas supply switch to open after the oxygen mask is released are monitored by a monitor. The trainee's reaction and handling ability in the event of depressurization are assessed by the time it takes for the on / off switch to open and the gas supply switch to open.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the on / off switch and the gas supply switch are respectively connected to the control unit in this application. Depressurization simulation can be achieved by connecting an induced draft fan to the system and adjusting the fan's power and operating time to simulate a depressurization state inside an aircraft cabin.

[0081] This application can also simulate some basic teaching methods. For example, sensors can be placed at the top and bottom of the sun visor. The sun visor touching the sensors generates a sensing signal, which simulates the opening and closing of the sun visor during flight. The sensors at the top and bottom of the sun visor are connected to the control unit in this application. When the command to open and close the sun visor is issued, the sensor signals received by the sensors are tracked by a monitor and used as the assessment score.

[0082] Similarly, the opening and closing operations of emergency doors and hatches can also be tested in practice using the methods described above.

[0083] As another implementation, this application can also realize the turbulence state of the aircraft cabin when encountering strong airflow through four hydraulic systems set at the bottom of the base. By controlling the four hydraulic systems to move up and down at different heights in sync, the aircraft cabin can be swayed. At this time, the trainee can check whether the use of the seat belt has completed the required action. After checking that the required action has been completed, the trainee can press the set sensor to complete the operation process, which can be used as the basis for judging whether the operation process has been completed.

[0084] As another implementation, this application can also simulate a fire on-site. When a fire occurs, a fire command can be issued, and the time it takes for trainees to activate fire extinguishing equipment can be used as an assessment.

[0085] This application presents a simulation system applicable to real-world aircraft cabins. By connecting various corresponding sensors to the control unit, the system enables trainees to use various operational devices normally. The activation of the operational device serves as the initial state. After achieving the prescribed actions, the execution of the actions and the final state are detected again through mechanisms such as opening and closing switches and using sensors. By using the processing time of this process as the sole criterion for assessment, a unified assessment standard can be achieved.

[0086] It should also be noted that this application can also combine different assessment requirements, that is, combine multiple actions such as pressure loss and risk avoidance, simply by connecting the different assessment states to form an association.

[0087] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
