Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of simulation tests, and in particular relates to an emergency escape device and method for a full-motion flight simulator. Background Art
[0002] The full-motion flight simulator completely simulates the cockpit of a real aircraft, uses the same data package as a real aircraft, and cooperates with a six-degree-of-freedom motion system to 100% simulate the flight control experience. Combined with the supporting airport visual database, it provides hundreds of fault simulations and various weather scenarios to meet all the requirements of pilot training. The boarding bridge is a channel connecting the simulator body with the outside world, providing personnel to enter and exit the simulator. Under normal circumstances, the boarding bridge will rise and fall according to instructions and logic, and personnel can directly enter and exit the simulator through the boarding bridge.
[0003] In some special cases, such as power outage, boarding bridge failure or simulator system failure, the boarding bridge cannot work properly and people cannot get out of the simulator. At this time, the people in the simulator can only climb down through the emergency escape ladder equipped with the simulator. The escape ladder is stored in the corridor outside the simulator. When it is needed, open the cover and drop the escape ladder to extend it to the ground. Then the trapped people climb down along the escape ladder.
[0004] This type of escape ladder is a soft ladder built by combining straps, ropes and metal. Normally, it is stacked and placed in a special storage area, and taken out for use in an emergency. It has the following shortcomings: 1. The emergency escape ladders of different types of simulators are stored in a stacked manner in a slot and can be manually taken out and thrown to the ground when needed.
[0005] 2. Most of this type of escape ladders are soft ladders built by combining binding ropes with metal or composite materials. Because they are suspended in the air and lack fixation, they will shake back and forth during the climbing process and have poor stability.
[0006] 3. Single usage scenario. This type of escape ladder is basically only suitable for the simulator in a horizontal state. The personnel in the simulator can come out to the corridor, open the cover, take out the escape ladder and throw it down. When the simulator is in an abnormal state, such as the Leanout state, the simulator is in a non-horizontal state. It will be difficult for the people inside to walk out to the corridor, open the cover and take out the escape ladder. At the same time, affected by the abnormal posture of the simulator, the released ladder will also change with the posture of the simulator, increasing the difficulty of climbing for personnel and increasing safety hazards.
[0007] Based on this, the present invention proposes an emergency escape device and method for a full-motion flight simulator. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant invention, rather than to limit the invention. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first embodiment of the present invention provides an emergency escape device for a full-motion flight simulator, comprising a telescopic device 1, a locking device 2, a ladder 3, a circular shaft body 4 and a horizontal adjustment device; The fixed end of the telescopic device 1 is installed on the simulator 5, and the telescopic end of the telescopic device 1 can be locked or unlocked with the locking device 2. The locking device 2 is installed on the ladder 3. The ladder 3 is detachably fixed to the circular shaft body 4. The bearing of the circular shaft body 4 is installed on the horizontal adjustment device, and the horizontal adjustment device is installed on the simulator 5.
[0029] When the present invention is used, two conditions need to be met: 1. The boarding bridge is not in the Down position; 2. All the actuators controlling the movement of the simulator 5 have no real-time displacement and angle changes.
[0030] The boarding bridge is not in the Down position because the device is installed below the boarding bridge entrance and exit on the simulator. When the boarding bridge is working properly, personnel can enter and exit the simulator normally through the boarding bridge. Only when the boarding bridge has problems or malfunctions and cannot be lowered, can the emergency escape device be released by pressing the switch.
[0031] The requirement that the six actuators have no real-time displacement changes is a limiting condition to prevent the simulator 5 from being released due to erroneous operation of the switch during its movement, which may result in damage to the simulator 5 .
[0032] If these two conditions are met, the telescopic device 1 is locked with the ladder 3 through the locking device 2, driving the ladder 3 to move in the direction close to the circular shaft body 4 and fixed with the circular shaft body 4. At this time, the ladder 3 and the telescopic device 1 are unlocked by the locking device 2. At this time, the telescopic device 1 is moved in the direction away from the circular shaft body 4. The ladder 3 will swing in the direction close to the ground due to gravity. Since the circular shaft body 4 and the simulator 5 are bearings, the ladder 3 will rotate with the axis of the circular shaft body 4 as the rotation point. When the telescopic device 1 stops moving, the ladder 3 stops rotating, and the inclination angle for getting off the machine is reached. Next, the horizontal adjustment device is used to detect whether the axis of the circular shaft body 4 is on the horizontal plane. If so, the pilot can arrange to disembark. If not, the horizontal adjustment device is used to adjust the inclination direction of the circular shaft body 4 to the horizontal according to the angle and inclination direction between the axis of the circular shaft body 4 and the horizontal plane. At this time, the ladder 3 will also rotate with the circular shaft body 4, so that the ladder 3 is kept horizontal relative to the ground, thereby facilitating the pilot's escape and avoiding safety hazards.
[0033] Among them, this device adopts rigid connection of metal structure, and lightweight materials are selected as much as possible to reduce weight while making the structure stable.
[0034] Among them, see Figure 1 , the telescopic device 1 of the present invention comprises a motor 11 and a telescopic actuator 12; The housing of the motor 11 is fixed to the simulator 5 , and the driving end of the motor 11 is drivingly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic actuator 12 .
[0035] The motor 11 is equipped with a wireless communication module, which can be connected to the control system in the simulator 5 , and a control button is installed inside the simulator 5 , so that the pilot can remotely control the start and stop of the motor 11 .
[0036] In the present invention, see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The telescopic end of the telescopic device 1 can be locked or unlocked with the locking device 2, and its specific structure is: The locking device comprises a base plate 21, a guide groove 22, a ball head 23 and a locking hole 24; The bottom plate 21 is fixed to the ladder 3, a guide groove 22 is provided on the bottom plate 21, a ball head 23 that can move along the guide groove 22 is provided in the guide groove 22, the guide groove 22 is connected to a locking hole 24, and the locking hole 24 is provided on the bottom plate 21; In the initial state, the ball head 23 is disposed in the locking hole 24, and the ball head 23 is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic actuator 12; When the ball head 23 is disposed in the locking hole 24 , the ladder 3 moves with the telescopic end of the telescopic actuator 12 , and when the ball head 23 is disposed in the guide groove 22 , the ladder 3 drives the circular shaft 4 to rotate.
[0037] The locking hole 24 is circular in shape, and the diameter of the locking hole 24 is greater than the diameter of the ball head 23 .
[0038] Through the above content, when the device of the present invention is in use, in the initial state, the ball head 23 is arranged in the locking hole 24, and the telescopic actuator 12 is driven by the motor 11 to move in the direction close to the circular shaft body 4. The telescopic actuator 12 drives the ladder 3 to move in the direction close to the circular shaft body 4 through the ball head 23 until the hook on the ladder 3 is hooked with the circular shaft body 4, and the telescopic actuator 12 is controlled to move in the direction away from the circular shaft body 4. At this time, the ball head 3 disengages from the locking hole 24 and continues to move along the guide groove 22 in the direction away from the circular shaft body 4. Since the ladder 3 is no longer supported by the telescopic actuator 12, it will tilt and swing in the direction close to the ground due to gravity. When it swings to the preset angle for getting off the machine, the telescopic actuator 12 stops moving.
[0039] For further explanation of the present invention, see Figure 1 The ladder 3 is a nested ladder group, and the mobile ladder in the nested ladder group is fixed with a cable 31. The cable 31 is installed on a cable winding device 32. The cable winding device 32 is driven and connected to the motor 11. The motor 11 is a double-axis motor.
[0040] At this time, the ladder 3 has not been completely put on the ground, and the main part has been put down and fixed in position. The mobile ladder in the nested ladder group will release the mobile ladder while the motor 11 drives the gear to cooperate with the cable winding device 32 to extend the cable 31 until the sensor at the end of the ladder detects that it is close to the ground and stops working.
[0041] Wherein, the movable ladder in the nested ladder set of the present invention is affected by gravity when tilted, and when a person steps down hard, the movable ladder will not retract.
[0042] At this time, the emergency escape device has been put into place, the upper part of the ladder 3 is hung with a round shaft 4 to make it firm, and the lower part is grounded to provide a firm support. The trapped person only needs to climb down the ladder 3.
[0043] The process of retracting the device is just the opposite of the process of releasing. That is, firstly, the mobile ladder in the nest is pulled back by the cable 31 through the motor 11 and the cable winding device 32, and then the entire ladder 3 is pushed to a horizontal state through the telescopic actuator 12. After the ball head 23 enters the locking hole 24 and is locked, the motor reverses to drive the telescopic actuator 12 to retract, and the ball head 23 drives the ladder 3 to be retracted, at which time it is separated from the circular shaft body 4, and the ladder 3 is locked with the telescopic actuator 12, and finally the telescopic actuator 12 is used to retract the ladder 3 and store it.
[0044] As a further explanation of the present invention, the horizontal adjustment device includes a three-axis gimbal.
[0045] In the present invention, since the ladder 3 is released in an inclined state mainly relying on its own gravity, the posture of the ladder 3 depends on the circular shaft 4 connected to the simulator 5 above. The ladder 3 is to be hooked on it. If the circular shaft 4 is crooked, the ladder 3 will also be crooked; if the circular shaft 4 is horizontal, the ladder 4 will be straight instead of crooked when it is finally put into place. Therefore, the circular shaft 4 must be kept horizontal and not change with the posture of the simulator 5. A three-axis gimbal is introduced, which detects and adjusts the posture of the circular shaft 4, and releases it to make it horizontal and then fixes it; if it is in a normal horizontal state, it does not need to be adjusted and can be released directly. Retraction is the opposite process.
[0046] The three-axis gimbal is provided with an angle sensor. When it is detected that the simulator 5 is not in a horizontal state, the ladder 3 is hung on the circular shaft 4, and the circular shaft 4 is kept in a horizontal state by adjusting its own angle, thereby keeping the ladder 3 horizontal.
[0047] The sensor for detecting the ground on the ladder 3 of the present invention can also monitor the surrounding environment, for example, to detect whether there are obstacles blocking the deployment path of the ladder 3, or whether there are people approaching the ladder 3. The sensor can be a laser radar sensor.
[0048] During the process of unfolding or retracting the ladder 3 of the present invention, if the movement of the ladder 3 is not coordinated with the length change of the cable 31, the cable 31 may be too tight or too loose, or even entangled. In order to ensure the safety and stability of the ladder 3 during movement, the length of the cable 31 needs to be adjusted accordingly with the movement of the ladder 3.
[0049] For example, when the ladder 3 is lowered, the cable 31 should be able to automatically release an appropriate length to prevent the ladder 3 from being too tight and unable to descend smoothly; on the contrary, when the ladder 3 is pulled back, the cable 31 should also be able to be recovered in time to avoid dragging on the ground or causing chaos due to being too long. This synchronization mechanism is achieved through the cable winding device 32, which can manage the length of the cable 31, thereby ensuring the safety and efficiency of the operation of the ladder 3.
[0050] In addition, a pressure sensor or a human infrared sensor is installed on the ladder 3. When it is detected that someone is using the ladder 3, the position of the ladder 3 is automatically locked to ensure safety during use.
[0051] The specific contents are as follows: Obstacle detection is performed using a LiDAR sensor because it provides highly accurate distance and angle information as point cloud data.
[0052] Point cloud data can be obtained in the form of point clouds, which can be used to construct a three-dimensional model of the surrounding environment.
[0053] Point cloud processing and obstacle recognition: Receive point cloud data from LiDAR.
[0054] Filter the point cloud data to remove noise, for example, using a mean filter or a median filter.
[0055] Apply clustering algorithms (such as DBSCAN) to segment the point cloud to identify different objects.
[0056] Let each point in the point cloud p i All have coordinates ( x i , y i , z i ).
[0057] Use DBSCAN clustering algorithm to divide the point cloud into multiple clusters 1, 2, ..., C 1, C 2,…, C n .
[0058] For each cluster C j , calculate the average coordinates of all points as the center point of the cluster.
[0059] If the cluster C j The center point The path from ladder 3 is less than the set safety thresholdd threshold , then the cluster is considered to represent an obstacle.
[0060] Distance of obstacles d It can be calculated by the following formula: ; in( ) is the current position coordinate of ladder 3.
[0061] Decision-making process: If the detected obstacle is closer to the ladder path than the safety threshold d threshold d, then the ladder 3 stops moving and an alarm is sounded.
[0062] Human body detection method: Use a depth camera to obtain RGB-D images (i.e. images that contain both color and depth information).
[0063] Utilize depth information and human silhouette features to perform human detection.
[0064] Deep Image Processing: Get the RGB-D image output by the depth camera.
[0065] Convert the depth map to a grayscale image, where the grayscale value of each pixel represents the depth of that point.
[0066] Use an edge detection algorithm (such as Canny edge detection) to extract the edges of the depth image.
[0067] Hough transform is used to detect lines and circles in the image, which helps to identify the shape features of the human body.
[0068] For each detected edge point l i , calculate the distance between it and the ladder h i : h i =∣ z i − z ladder ∣; in z i yes l i The depth coordinate of z ladder is the depth coordinate of the plane where ladder 3 is located.
[0069] If the detected edge points l iDepth h i Less than the set threshold d human , then it is considered that the human body exists.
[0070] The distribution of edge points is further analyzed, and if they form typical outlines of a human body (such as a head and torso), the detection of a human body is confirmed.
[0071] Human body recognition: Template matching method is used to further verify the detected human body regions.
[0072] If the matching score is higher than a preset threshold, a human body is considered to be detected.
[0073] When a human body or an obstacle is detected, the movement of the ladder 3 is stopped.
[0074] like Figure 2-Figure 8 As shown, the second embodiment of the present invention proposes an emergency escape device for a full-motion flight simulator, based on the emergency escape device for a full-motion flight simulator described in the first embodiment, on the basis of the first embodiment, the locking device 2 also includes the locking device 2 also includes a first connecting rod 241, a first guide rail 242, a second connecting rod 243, a slot 244, a third connecting rod 245, a second guide rail 246, a spring 247, a fourth connecting rod 248, a fifth connecting rod 249, a direction conversion device 250 and a locking member 251; The locking hole 24 is provided with a hole through which a first connecting rod 241 can pass. The first connecting rod 241 is arranged in a first guide rail 242 and moves along the first guide rail 242. The first guide rail 242 is fixed to the bottom plate 21. The first connecting rod 241 is arranged in the first guide rail 242 and moves along the first connecting rod 241. The first connecting rod 241 is fixed to one end of a second connecting rod 243. The other end of the second connecting rod 243 can be arranged in a slot 244. The slot 244 is provided on a third connecting rod 245. The third connecting rod 245 is arranged in a second guide rail 246 and moves along the second guide rail 246. The second guide rail 246 is fixed to the bottom plate 21. One end of the third connecting rod 245 is fixed to the hook 6, and the other end of the third connecting rod 245 is hinged to the direction conversion device 250. The other end of the direction conversion device 250 is used to press the locking member 251. The locking member 251 overlaps with one end of the fourth connecting rod 248. The locking member 251 is used to lock the fourth connecting rod 248. The outer shell of the locking member 251 is fixed to the bottom plate 21. The other end of the fourth connecting rod 248 is connected to the fifth connecting rod 249. The fifth connecting rod 249 can pass through the locking hole 24 to abut against the ball head 23. The fifth connecting rod 249 is fixed to one end of the spring 247 , and the other end of the spring 247 is fixed to the bottom plate 21 .
[0075] Initially, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fifth connecting rod 249 extends into the locking hole 24 to abut against the ball head 23. The ball head 23 pushes the first connecting rod 241 upward in the locking hole 24. The first connecting rod 241 drives the second connecting rod 243 not to be set in the slot 244. At this time, the telescopic end of the telescopic actuator 12 drives the ball head 23 to move, thereby driving the ladder 3 and the hook 6 to move toward the direction of the circular shaft body 4. See Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the hook 6 is hooked on the circular shaft 4 and continues to move forward, the hook 6 and the third connecting rod 245 will pull the direction conversion device 250, and the direction conversion device 250 will press the pressing head of the locking member 251, driving the fourth connecting rod 248 to press the fifth connecting rod 249 to unlock. At this time, the fifth connecting rod 249 does not resist the ball head 23. Next, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The telescopic end of the telescopic actuator 12 drives the ball head 23 to move in the opposite direction into the guide groove 22. After the ball head 23 is separated from the locking hole 24, the first connecting rod 241 falls down under the action of gravity, driving the second connecting rod 243 to be set in the slot 244, locking the fifth connecting rod 249 so that it cannot be pulled. Therefore, the hook 6 can be firmly hung on the circular shaft body 4, and it is also to prevent gravity from unlocking the locking piece 251 when people go down the ladder. As the ball head 23 continues to move in the opposite direction, the ladder 3 will continue to tilt. When the preset tilt angle is reached, the telescopic end of the telescopic actuator 12 stops moving.
[0076] Among them, during the unlocking process, the fifth connecting rod 249 will be pressed in the direction of the ball head 23 before it retracts. At this time, the telescopic end of the telescopic actuator 12 drives the ball head 23 to move away from the fifth connecting rod 249 by the pressing distance, thereby preventing the fifth connecting rod 249 from pressing against the ball head 23 when pressed, making it impossible for the locking member 251 to be unlocked.
[0077] Among them, see Figure 8 , the direction conversion device 250 is a three-section structure, specifically including a first section 2501, a second section 2502 and a third section 2503; A guide sleeve 2504 capable of moving along the first section 2501 is arranged on the outside, and the guide sleeve 2504 is hinged to the third connecting rod 245. The other end of the first section 2502 is vertically fixed to one end of the second section 2502, and the other end of the second section 2502 is vertically fixed to the third section 2503. The third section 2503 is used for pressing the pressing head of the locking member 251. The second section 2502 is rotatably connected to the base plate 21. The rotatable connection can be a hinge connection, a bearing connection, or a pin connection with a clearance fit.
[0078] The direction conversion device 250 may also be a C-shaped structure. The present invention does not specifically limit the structure of the direction conversion device 250. Any device that can achieve direction conversion is within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0079] Among them, the locking member 251 is a locking structure on a ballpoint pen, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. In addition, the fourth connecting rod 248 can be understood as the core of the ballpoint pen, and the fifth connecting rod 249 can be understood as the pen tip.
[0080] Among them, since the fourth connecting rod 248 is inclined, the fourth connecting rod 248 and the fifth connecting rod 249 are set to a hinged structure, so that when the locking member 251 presses the fourth connecting rod 248, the fifth connecting rod 249 can smoothly enter the locking hole 24.
