Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aircraft refueling training devices, and in particular to a refueling simulation device and system. Background Art

[0002] In the training system for new aircraft refuelers, simulated refueling training of pipeline refueling trucks is a crucial link. It not only requires trainees to master solid theoretical knowledge, but also requires them to have the practical operation ability to complete refueling tasks safely and efficiently in complex environments. However, many aviation refueling stations currently rely mainly on the refueling hydrant wells set up in the station as simulation objects when conducting such training. Although this method is close to the actual working environment to a certain extent, it also exposes several limitations.

[0003] First, the fixed location of the refueling hydrant well has become a major obstacle to training flexibility. Since the refueling hydrant well cannot be moved, training activities are limited to a specific area, making it difficult to simulate the refueling scenarios of aircraft in different parking positions or in emergency situations, limiting the trainees' adaptability and response capabilities to various refueling environments. This spatial limitation may also affect the comprehensiveness and depth of the training content, greatly reducing the training effect.

[0004] Secondly, the high-pressure environment inside the well plug increases the safety risks during the training process. The high-pressure characteristics inside the well plug require operators to strictly abide by the operating procedures. Any slight negligence or improper operation may lead to serious consequences, such as oil spills, leaks, or even more serious safety accidents. During the training stage, new trainees are often not familiar with the operating procedures, and are prone to nervousness or misoperation, which further exacerbates the safety risks.

[0005] In addition, for aviation refueling stations that have not yet set up underground refueling hydrants, it is even more difficult to carry out training. Due to the lack of necessary simulation facilities, these stations are unable to directly conduct simulation training for aircraft refuelers, and have to rely on other methods (such as theoretical teaching, video observation, etc.) to make up for the lack of practical operations. However, these methods often fail to achieve the same training effect as actual operations, affecting the trainees' mastery of skills and improvement of their professional qualities. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the technical problems in the related art, the present application provides a refueling simulation device and system. The refueling simulation device of the present application can not only realize flexible refueling training, but also effectively ensure the safety during the training process. In addition, it can also be widely applied to the refueling training work of all aviation refueling stations.

[0007] In order to achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions adopted in this application include:

[0008] According to a first aspect of the present application, there is provided a refueling simulation device for aircraft refueling personnel to simulate refueling training, including:

[0009] A base on which an installation through-hole is formed;

[0012] Optionally, the refueling simulation device further includes a mounting block which is formed into a cylindrical structure. An accommodation cavity is formed by inward depression of the top surface of the mounting block. The mounting block is disposed below the base and the accommodation cavity corresponds to the installation through-hole. The fuel filler plug is detachably mounted in the accommodation cavity.

[0013] Optionally, the refueling simulation device further includes a driving device disposed in the accommodation cavity. The output end of the driving device is connected to the fuel filler plug for driving the fuel filler plug to rotate.

[0014] Optionally, the driving device includes a driving disk, a driving rod and a mounting disk. The output end of the driving disk is connected to the driving rod for driving the driving rod to rotate. One end of the driving rod away from the driving disk is connected to the mounting disk, and the mounting disk is used for mounting the fuel filler plug.

[0015] Optionally, the radial dimension of the installation through-hole is larger than the radial dimension of the accommodation cavity. The manhole cover is detachably disposed in the installation through-hole, and the lower surface of the manhole cover abuts against the upper surface of the mounting block.

[0016] Optionally, the refueling simulation device further includes a plurality of moving wheels respectively mounted under the base.

[0017] Optionally, the number of the moving wheels is four. The four moving wheels are disposed corresponding to the four corners of the base, and the moving wheels are connected to the lower surface of the base through mounting rods.

[0018] Optionally, the installation through-hole is disposed at the center of the base.

[0019] According to a second aspect of the present application, there is further provided a refueling simulation system, including a tanker receiving port and the refueling simulation device according to any one of the technical solutions in the first aspect of the present application. The installation height of the tanker receiving port is higher than the installation height of the refueling simulation device, and the tanker receiving port is used for simulating an aircraft receiving port.

[0020] Optionally, the refueling simulation system also includes a mounting wall, which is vertically connected to the upper surface of the base, and in the vertical direction, the projection of the mounting wall is separated from the projection of the mounting through hole, and the tank truck oil receiving port is arranged on the mounting wall.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Through the above technical solution, when new aircraft refueling operators need to conduct simulated refueling training, they can use the refueling simulation device of the present application to conduct simulated refueling training. Specifically, the refueling plug set in the installation through hole can be regarded as the refueling plug in the existing underground well. At the same time, the manhole cover can be regarded as the existing underground well cover, thereby realizing simulated refueling training.

[0024] Second, since the refueling hydrant of the present application is independent, it will not have the high-pressure environment of a ground well hydrant, thereby effectively reducing the high-pressure risk caused by negligence or improper operation during the training process, improving the safety of the training process, and helping to reduce the tension of aircraft refueling operators during the training process, thereby helping to improve the training effect.

[0025] In addition, for aviation refueling stations that have not yet installed ground well refueling hydrants, it can make up for the training deficiency of not having ground well refueling hydrants, so that they can also conduct simulated training for aircraft refueling, which can effectively ensure the training effect. In other words, the refueling simulation device of the present application can widely meet the refueling training work of all aviation refueling stations.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a refueling simulation device 101 according to the first aspect of the present application, which is used for aircraft refueling personnel to simulate refueling training, and includes a base 1, a refueling hydrant 2 and a manhole cover 3. The base 1 is provided with a mounting through hole 11; the refueling hydrant 2 is arranged in the mounting through hole 11, and the height of the top of the refueling hydrant 2 is lower than the height of the upper surface of the base 1; the manhole cover 3 is detachably mounted on the base 1 to cover the mounting through hole 11.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, when new aircraft refueling operators need to conduct simulated refueling training, they can use the refueling simulation device 101 of the present application to conduct simulated refueling training. Specifically, the refueling hydrant 2 set in the installation through hole 11 can be regarded as the refueling hydrant in the existing underground well. At the same time, the manhole cover 3 can be regarded as the existing underground well cover, thereby realizing simulated refueling training.

[0040] In this way, first, since the refueling simulation device 101 of the present application is movable as a whole, the refueling training activities of aircraft refuelers can be carried out in any area, and the refueling scenes of aircraft in different parking positions or emergency situations can be simulated, which is conducive to training refuelers' adaptability and response capabilities to various refueling environments, and is conducive to improving the comprehensiveness and depth of refueling training content and improving training effects.

[0041] Second, since the refueling hydrant 2 of the present application is independent, it will not have the high-pressure environment of a ground well hydrant, thereby effectively reducing the high-pressure risk caused by negligence or improper operation during the training process, improving the safety of the training process, and helping to reduce the tension of aircraft refueling operators during the training process, thereby helping to improve the training effect.

[0042] In addition, for aviation refueling stations that have not yet installed ground well refueling hydrants, it can make up for the training deficiency of not having ground well refueling hydrants, so that they can also conduct simulated training for aircraft refueling, which can effectively ensure the training effect. In other words, the refueling simulation device 101 of the present application can widely meet the refueling training work of all aviation refueling stations.

[0043] In the above technical solution, it can be understood that, first, the present application can use an old, replaced fuel hydrant 2 (but still need to have a complete connection structure) for training, thereby effectively reducing the training cost. Correspondingly, the manhole cover 3 can also use an old, replaced manhole cover.

[0044] Second, the base 1 of the present application may be a frame structure or a plate structure, and the present application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application,Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 3 , the fueling simulation device 101 of the present application may further include a mounting block 4. The mounting block 4 is formed into a cylindrical structure. An accommodation cavity 41 is formed by inward depression on the top surface of the mounting block 4. The mounting block 4 is disposed below the base 1 and the accommodation cavity 41 corresponds to the installation through hole 11. The fueling nozzle 2 is detachably mounted in the accommodation cavity 41.

[0046] In this way, through the mounting block 4 arranged as such, not only can the reliable and stable installation of the fueling nozzle 2 be realized, which is beneficial to ensuring the smooth progress of the training process, but also it can be more in line with the actual fueling scenario, which is beneficial to improving the fueling training effect. In addition, it is also convenient for the installation and disassembly of the fueling nozzle 2.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the fueling simulation device 101 of the present application may further include a driving device 5. The driving device 5 is disposed in the accommodation cavity 41. The output end of the driving device 5 is connected to the fueling nozzle 2 for driving the fueling nozzle 2 to rotate.

[0048] In this way, through the driving device 5 arranged as such, the rotational adjustment of the fueling nozzle 2 can be realized, which can further enrich the training content. Thus, the training operation of the fueling nozzle 2 with different installation directions can be realized, and the fueling conditions at different positions can be effectively simulated, which is beneficial to improving the training effect.

[0049] It can be understood that the driving device 5 of the present application has various implementation manners. For example, in one embodiment, the driving device 5 of the present application may be a driving motor. The driving motor rotates through a driving gear, and the gear drives the fueling nozzle 2 to rotate through a rack or a gear.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the driving device 5 of the present application may include a driving disk 51, a driving rod 52, and a mounting disk 53. The output end of the driving disk 51 is connected to the driving rod 52 for driving the driving rod 52 to rotate. One end of the driving rod 52 away from the driving disk 51 is connected to the mounting disk 53, and the mounting disk 53 is used for mounting the fueling nozzle 2.

[0051] In this way, through the driving device 5 arranged as such, the adjustment of the rotation angle of the fueling nozzle 2 can be reliably and effectively realized. Moreover, through the mounting disk 53 arranged as such, it is also convenient for the installation and disassembly of the fueling nozzle 2.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the radial dimension of the installation through hole 11 of the present application is larger than the radial dimension of the accommodation cavity 41. The manhole cover 3 is detachably disposed in the installation through hole 11, and the lower surface of the manhole cover 3 abuts against the upper surface of the mounting block 4.

[0053] In this way, with the installation through holes 11 and the installation blocks 4 arranged as such, it can fit more closely to the actual installation situation of the manhole cover 3, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the training.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the fueling simulation device 101 of the present application may further include a plurality of moving wheels 6, and the plurality of moving wheels 6 are respectively installed under the base 1. In this way, with the moving wheels 6 arranged as such, the position adjustment of the fueling simulation device 101 can be achieved more quickly and conveniently, thereby enabling the simulation of various fueling scenarios and facilitating the transportation and storage of the fueling simulation device 101.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the moving wheels 6 of the present application can be set to four, and the four moving wheels 6 are arranged corresponding to the four corners of the base 1, and the moving wheels 6 are connected to the lower surface of the base 1 through the mounting rods 61. In this way, the moving wheels 6 and the mounting rods 61 arranged as such can enable the fueling simulation device 101 of the present application to have better passability and be applicable to the ground environments of most aviation gas stations. At the same time, it can also enable the fueling simulation device 101 of the present application to have good stability and ensure the smooth progress of the training process.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the installation through holes 11 of the present application are arranged at the center of the base 1. In this way, with the installation through holes 11 arranged as such, after the entire fueling simulation device 101 is installed with the fueling nozzle 2 (the heaviest component), the center of gravity can be more biased towards the center, and it can have better stability.

[0057] According to the second aspect of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, there is also provided a fueling simulation system 100, including a tanker receiving port 102 and the fueling simulation device 101 according to any one of the technical solutions in the first aspect of the present application. The installation height of the tanker receiving port 102 is higher than the installation height of the fueling simulation device 101, and the tanker receiving port 102 is used to simulate the aircraft receiving port.

[0058] In this way, through the fueling simulation device 101 of the present application, the simulation of the existing ground well fueling nozzle can be achieved, and through the tanker receiving port 102 of the present application, the simulation of the aircraft receiving port can be achieved, thereby facilitating the realization of a simulation scenario closer to actual operation and being beneficial to further improving the training effect.

[0059] It can be understood that the tanker receiving port 102 of the present application can be installed through other structures. For example, the tanker receiving port 102 can be directly installed on the top wall of the garage.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, the fueling simulation system 100 of the present application may further include an installation wall 103, which is vertically connected to the upper surface of the base 1. Moreover, in the vertical direction, the projection of the installation wall 103 is separated from the projection of the installation through hole 11, and the tanker fuel receiving port 102 is arranged on the installation wall 103. In this way, through the installation wall 103 arranged in this manner, the stable installation of the tanker fuel receiving port 102 can also be achieved, and the synchronous movement of the fueling plug 2 and the tanker fuel receiving port 102 can also be achieved, so as to facilitate the simulation of different fueling positions.

[0061] The foregoing are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
