Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of flight simulation training equipment, and particularly relates to an intelligent temperature control system for a seat cabin of a flight simulator. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key equipment for training pilots' core skills, the seat cabin of a flight simulator plays a decisive role in long-time and high-intensity simulation training, which directly affects the physiological stability, cognitive load level and operation performance of pilots. Therefore, constructing an efficient and comfortable temperature control system that is suitable for flight training scenarios has become a core requirement for ensuring training quality and the physiological safety of pilots.

[0003] In the prior art, the mainstream scheme (such as Chinese patent CN119674344A) discloses a technology that generally adopts a rough control logic based on a fixed threshold. Such a system relies on the monitoring data of a single or small number of environmental sensors (such as temperature and humidity sensors) in the seat cabin, and triggers the start and stop of the air conditioning system when the value exceeds the preset threshold. The core defect of this system lies in the limitation of the decision-making dimension: it completely ignores the physiological differences of individual pilots and the dynamic physiological changes under different training tasks, and cannot achieve the precise goal of "on-demand regulation". In actual application, problems such as response lag and energy waste caused by over-regulation often occur.

[0004] In addition, although some vehicle-mounted intelligent temperature control schemes (such as CN119396221A) introduce intelligent algorithms such as reinforcement learning, due to the essential differences between the application scenarios (daily driving vs. high-intensity flight training), the model architecture and control strategy of these schemes are difficult to be directly migrated. At the same time, these schemes have three inherent defects:

[0005] Reward function design is disconnected from actual needs: the reward function of reinforcement learning is mostly based on energy consumption E and temperature fluctuation as a single optimization target (such as ), without incorporating the PMV / PPD (Predicted Mean Vote / Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) parameter, which is the "gold standard" of thermal comfort, into the optimization system, resulting in a significant deviation between the system regulation target and the actual thermal sensation of people;

[0006] Insufficient individualized adaptive ability: when facing new users (new pilots), traditional reinforcement learning models need to be trained from scratch or undergo large-scale data retraining, and the cold start period is more than 2 hours, which cannot meet the scene requirements of rapid rotation of personnel in flight training;

[0007] Lack of safety protection mechanism: existing systems are mostly passive response control, lacking predictive assessment and hierarchical intervention mechanisms for the physiological limit state of pilots (such as excessively high core body temperature), and there is a potential health risk in high-intensity training scenarios;

[0008] In summary, the current technology cannot meet the needs of flight simulators for multi-dimensional physiological perception fusion, multi-target collaborative optimization and rapid individual adaptation, and an intelligent temperature control system for flight training scenarios is urgently needed.

[0143] The value is calculated based on the decision uncertainty of the personalized model θ' for the new input state or the similarity to the distribution of the meta-training data; when the Confidence_score is lower than a preset threshold, a data sampling update request is triggered or an adjustment to a conservative control strategy is made to provide personalized temperature control;

[0144] A dynamic execution layer configured to: based on the temperature control instruction and the average skin physiological data, adopt PID closed-loop adjustment to adjust the operating parameters of the air flow regulation equipment of each temperature control partition of the flight simulator cockpit, and then regulate the temperature of each partition to achieve precise and differentiated air supply to each part of the pilot's body.

[0145] Each temperature control partition of the flight simulator cockpit includes multiple independent temperature control zones, such as the head, torso, and legs; each region is equipped with independent air flow regulation equipment, such as fans and valves, and air conditioners.

[0146] Based on the real-time numerical interval of the predicted core body temperature and the predicted dissatisfaction percentage, progressive temperature control responses are triggered in stages, including local adjustment, composite adjustment, and global intervention warning, to achieve a three-level active safety response.

[0147] The 1st level response (early warning intervention) of local adjustment is triggered when the predicted core body temperature exceeds 37.3℃, and immediate local strong air supply in the high-temperature area is started.

[0148] The 2nd level response (cooperative cooling) of composite adjustment is triggered when the PMV is greater than 1.0 in addition to the 1st level response, and the seat ventilation is started and the fresh air exchange rate is increased.

[0149] The 3rd level response (forced refrigeration) of global intervention warning is triggered when the predicted dissatisfaction percentage further deteriorates to greater than 2.0, and global high-power refrigeration is forced to start, and an alarm is sent to the monitoring console to ensure the absolute physiological safety of the pilot.

[0150] In this way, through precise partition control and active safety protection, a full-chain safety protection from early warning to forced intervention is formed to eliminate potential health risks and solve the problem of traditional control roughness and passive response.
