[0002] The aircraft emergency brake simulation controller is mainly used in a flight quality simulator, and plays a role in an emergency situation such as failure of a normal brake system during simulation of aircraft ground deceleration.
[0003] The aircraft emergency brake controller is a key component in the aircraft brake system. When the normal brake system of the aircraft cannot work normally due to hydraulic failure, electrical failure or other reasons, the pilot can operate the emergency brake controller to enable the backup brake source to provide pressure for the brake device, so as to realize wheel braking, so that the aircraft can be safely decelerated and stopped after landing or ground taxiing. It is the last line of defense for the safety of the aircraft on the ground, ensuring that the aircraft still has reliable deceleration braking capability in an emergency situation, avoiding serious accidents such as running off the runway and collision due to brake failure.

[0023] This application provides an aircraft emergency braking simulation controller.
[0024] like Figs. 1 to 4As shown, an aircraft emergency braking simulation controller includes a controller housing 1, a handle 2, and a reset assembly 3. The controller housing 1 contains a potentiometer 4 and a rotating wheel 5. The rotating wheel 5 is mounted on the rotation axis of the potentiometer 4. The handle 2 is rotatably connected to the controller housing 1 within the housing. The handle 2 has an initial position and a final extreme position. One end of the handle 2 is located outside the controller housing 1, and the other end extends into the housing 1. The end of the handle 2 extending into the housing 1 has an arc-shaped structure 6. The outer circumference of the rotating wheel 5 contacts the arc-shaped outer circumference of the arc-shaped structure 6. The reset assembly 3 is used to maintain the handle 2 in the initial position. Pulling the handle 2 moves it from the initial position to the final extreme position. The handle 2 drives the arc-shaped structure 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 5 to rotate. The potentiometer 4 detects the angular displacement change of the rotating wheel 5 during the movement of the handle 2 from the initial position to the final extreme position. Therefore, the position information of the handle 2 can be obtained based on the angular displacement information output by the potentiometer 4. The subsequent software simulates emergency braking of the aircraft in real time based on the position information of handle 2.
[0025] The controller housing 1 includes a box 11 with a top opening and a cover plate 12 covering the opening of the box 11. The cover plate 12 and the box 11 are detachably connected by bolts. The cover plate 12 is provided with a sliding groove 14 for the handle 2 to pass through. When the handle 2 abuts against one end of the sliding groove 14, the handle 2 is in the initial position. When the handle 2 abuts against the other end of the sliding groove 14, the handle 2 is in the final extreme position. A partition 13 is fixed inside the controller housing 1. The fixed plate is located on one side of the sliding groove 14. The handle 2 and the partition 13 are rotatably connected. The potentiometer 4 is mounted on the partition 13. The rotation axis of the potentiometer 4 is parallel to the rotation axis of the handle 2. The axis of rotation of the handle 2 is concentric with the outer arc of the arc-shaped structure 6.
[0026] The reset assembly 3 includes a mounting shaft, a torsion spring 31, and a limiting pin 32. The axial direction of the mounting shaft is parallel to the rotation direction of the handle 2. The mounting shaft is fixedly mounted on the end of the handle 2 near the arc-shaped structure 6. The spring coil of the torsion spring 31 is sleeved on the outer shaft of the mounting shaft. There are two limiting pins 32. The first limiting pin 32 is fixed in the middle of the handle 2, and the second limiting pin 32 is fixed on the partition plate 13. The two torsion arms of the torsion spring 31 are located between the two limiting shafts, and the opposite sides of the two torsion arms abut against the two limiting pins 32 respectively. During the process of the handle 2 moving from the initial position to the final extreme position, the two limiting pins 32 move closer to each other. The torsion spring 31 applies a force away from the second limiting pin 32 to the first limiting pin 32 to reset the handle 2 to the initial position. The first limiting pin 32 is fixed to the handle 2 by screws, and the second limiting pin 32 is fixed to the partition plate 13 by screws.
[0027] A rotating rod 21 is rotatably mounted on the partition 13. The rotating rod 21 is mounted on the partition 13 via bearings and is perpendicular to the partition 13. The handle 2 and the arc-shaped structure 6 are located on different sides of the partition 13. One end of the handle 2 inside the controller housing 1 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 21. The arc-shaped structure 6 is also fixedly connected to the rotating rod 21. The reset assembly 3 and the handle 2 are located on the same side of the partition 13. The spring coil of the torsion spring 31 is sleeved on the rotating rod 21. The torsion spring 31 is located on the side of the handle 2 facing away from the partition 13. The portion of the rotating rod 21 on the side of the handle 2 facing away from the partition 13 serves as the mounting shaft. The main body of the potentiometer 4 and the handle 2 are located on the same side of the partition 13. The rotation shaft of the potentiometer 4 passes through the partition 13. The rotating wheel 5 and the arc-shaped structure 6 are located on the same side of the partition 13. Arranging the components on different sides of the partition 13 makes full use of the internal space of the controller housing 1, which is beneficial for designing a smaller controller housing 1.
[0028] The rotating wheel 5 is a gear, and the arc-shaped structure 6 is a sector-shaped gear disk. The sector-shaped gear disk is fixed on the handle 2. The axis of the sector-shaped gear disk is coaxial with the axis of the rotating shaft of the handle 2. The sector-shaped gear disk and the gear mesh. The gear is fixed on the rotating shaft of the potentiometer 4 by screws.
[0029] The mounting shaft has a socket at one end facing the handle 2, and a cotter pin is provided in the socket. The cotter pin is used to abut against the end face of the torsion spring 31 to prevent the torsion spring 31 from falling off.
[0030] The handle 22 is provided at one end of the handle 2 that extends out of the controller housing 1. The handle 22 is rod-shaped, and its length direction is parallel to the axial direction of the handle 2's rotation axis. The handle 22 facilitates the rotation of the handle 2.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
