[0002] Existing headlight systems for lowering have the following drawbacks: 1. The design is not concealed, and the cables are exposed, especially the numerous overhead floodlights, which are not neatly and aesthetically pleasingly arranged; equipment maintenance affects the use of other lights. 2. The existing design method uses a series connection of platform boundary lights. If one of them fails, all platform boundary lights must be turned off, making it unusable. 3. There are numerous elevated floodlights, and the brackets and electrical components are all exposed on the deck surface, which is messy and unsightly. 4. The lights on the rear wall of the hangar protrude significantly from the hull, appearing rather obtrusive and lacking aesthetic appeal. Summary of the Invention To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application proposes a novel descent-assist lighting system, comprising: Landing aids, including static and dynamic landing aids, are used to guide aircraft to land on the deck at night or in situations with insufficient lighting. The main drive box, including the drive detection board and the communication board, is used to detect the status information of the descent-assisting lights and package the obtained information to transmit it to the descent-assisting lighting control cabinet. The descent lighting control cabinet includes a descent lighting control device for controlling the descent lighting fixtures, including power on / off operation, dimming, status monitoring, and fault alarm. The descent-assist lighting fixture is connected to the main drive box via a junction box; the main drive box and the descent-assist lighting control cabinet are connected via a communication board on one hand and a power cord on the other; the descent-assist lighting control cabinet is connected to two working circuits.

[0003] Furthermore, it also includes: The display and control box is the human-machine interface terminal for the lowering light control device. Its panel is a touch screen, which allows operators to control the static lowering light system and obtain real-time feedback on the working status of the static lowering light system. The main controller is used to receive external information from the system, process the information, and send status information to the display and control box.

[0004] Furthermore, the main drive box includes a static lighting drive box, which provides drive control signals for the static landing aid lights and landing signal lights and beeps on the rear wall of the hangar and in the landing platform area. Its interior mainly contains the drive board and communication board of the static landing aid lights, which can detect short circuits and open circuits of the connected static landing aid lights and package and transmit the obtained information to the main controller.

[0005] Furthermore, the main drive box also includes a static landing aid light remote drive box that provides power and control signals to the mother ship's marker lights and mast obstruction lights. Its interior mainly contains a drive detection board for the static landing aid lights, which can detect short circuits and open circuits of the connected static landing aid lights and package and transmit the obtained information to the landing aid light control cabinet.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a power supply box to provide power management between the modules in the descent-aid lighting control device; it can distribute the ship's electrical power to the static lighting remote drive box and the static lighting drive box, and provide DC power to the display control box and the main controller.

[0007] Furthermore, the descent lighting control device mainly consists of a display and control box, a main controller, and a dynamic lighting control unit; the descent lighting control device can realize the on / off operation, dimming, status monitoring, and fault alarm of the glide indicator and roll indicator, and realize the adjustment of the elevation angle and azimuth angle of the glide indicator.

[0008] Furthermore, the design of the yaw indicator and sliding indicator of the dynamic descent lamp has been optimized to conceal the wiring at the back.

[0009] Furthermore, the static landing aid lights include landing signal lights and beacons, overhead floodlights, and hangar outline lights. The landing signal lights and beacons, overhead floodlights, and hangar outline lights are optimized to be concealed by the wiring method. The static landing aid lights on the flight deck and the aft wall of the ship are optimized for stealth and concealed by the wiring method.

[0010] Furthermore, the cable inlet gland of the landing aid lamp is located at the back of the lamp body, and the cable enters directly through the cable hole on the deck or bulkhead, with no exposed cable.

[0011] Furthermore, the elevated floodlights are embedded in the hull, with the protruding part featuring a sloping design and watertight design to enhance stealth performance. The RCS of the elevated floodlights is ≤0.5 m2. The optical design of the elevated floodlights adopts a multi-module, multi-light distribution combination to achieve full deck illumination.

[0012] The advantages of the lighting system for lowering lights provided by this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: This invention makes the use and maintenance of lights more convenient and more aesthetically pleasing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] This application proposes a lighting system for assisting descent, mainly composed of a display and control box, a main controller, a power supply box, a static light driver box, a static light remote driver box, static luminaires, and dynamic luminaires, whose connection relationship is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0016] Specifically: Display control box and main controller The display and control box is the human-machine interface terminal for the automatic lowering lighting control device. Its panel is a touch screen, allowing operators to control the static automatic lowering lighting system and receive real-time feedback on its operating status. The main controller is primarily used to receive external system information, process the information, and send status information to the display and control box.

[0017] Static light driver box The static lighting driver box provides drive control signals for the static landing lights and landing signal lights and beeps on the rear wall of the hangar and in the landing platform area. Its main internal components are the driver board and communication board for the static landing lights. It can detect the short circuit, open circuit and other status information of the connected static landing lights and package and transmit the obtained information to the main controller.

[0018] Power supply box The power supply box provides power management for the various modules within the descent-aid lighting control system. It can distribute marine power to the static lighting remote drive box and static lighting drive unit, and also provide DC power to the display control box and main controller.

[0019] Static Landing Assist Light Remote Drive Box The static landing aid lighting remote drive box provides power and control signals for the mother ship's marker lights and mast obstruction lights. Its main internal component is the drive detection board for the static landing aid lights, which can detect the short circuit, open circuit, and other status information of the connected static landing aid lights and package and transmit the obtained information to the landing aid lighting control cabinet.

[0020] Lowering light control device The descent-assist lighting control device enables functions such as on / off operation, dimming, status monitoring, and fault alarm control for the glide slope and roll indicators. It also allows adjustment of the elevation and azimuth angles of the glide slope indicator. The device mainly consists of a display and control box, a main controller, and a dynamic lighting control unit. Auxiliary Lighting Fixtures The design of the roll and glide indicators for the dynamic landing lights has been optimized, with concealed cabling at the back. The landing and takeoff signals, audible beacons, overhead floodlights, and hangar outline lights have also been optimized for concealed cabling. The static landing lights on the flight deck and aft stern have been optimized for stealth and concealed cabling. The cabling inserts are located at the back of the light fixture and enter directly through cable holes on the deck or bulkhead, with no exposed cables.

[0021] The elevated floodlights are recessed, with the protruding sections on the hull featuring a sloping design and watertight construction to enhance stealth capabilities. The average RCS (Radar Cross Section) of the elevated floodlights is ≤0.5 m².

[0022] The elevated floodlights employ a multi-module, multi-beam distribution optical design to illuminate the entire ship's deck. Through analysis and calculation, each light is designed with three different beam distribution optical modules. Each module, when lit individually, can illuminate its corresponding deck area, demonstrating its effectiveness. Figures 2-4 As shown.
