Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] Referring to Figures 1 - 2 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: an adjustable display device for a flight simulator, including a simulator cockpit 1. Training personnel can operate the flight simulator inside the simulator cockpit 1 to simulate flight training. A connecting seat 2 for fixed connection is fixedly connected to the left side of the simulator cockpit 1. A rotating component is arranged inside the connecting seat 2. A support frame 9 for fixed connection is fixedly connected inside the rotating component. The rotating component is used to drive the support frame 9 to rotate. The top of the support frame 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting cross bar 10. A group of rounded corner chutes 11 are opened inside both the front and rear sides of the connecting cross bar 10. The rounded corner chutes 11 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the connecting cross bar 10. A sliding column 12 is slidably connected inside the rounded corner chutes 11. The rounded corner chutes 11 limit the sliding column 12 to slide back and forth along the inner wall of the rounded corner chutes 11. At the same time, the sliding column 12 can slide left and right along the rounded corner chutes 11. The right side of the sliding column 12 is hinged to a secondary screen 13. The secondary screen 13 can display the side vision of the training personnel during flight training. The inner side of the secondary screen 13 is hinged to the right side of the connecting cross bar 10. A main screen 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting cross bar 10. The main screen 14 is used to display the front vision of the training personnel during flight training.
[0032] Referring to Figures 2 - 3 , a sliding sleeve 15 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the sliding column 12. The sliding column 12 can move left and right inside the sliding sleeve 15. A threaded rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding sleeve 15. A threaded sleeve 17 is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the threaded rod 16. Symmetrical threads are arranged inside both the front and rear ends of the threaded sleeve 17. By rotating the threaded sleeve 17, the threaded rods 16 on both the front and rear sides can be driven to displace inside the threaded sleeve 17, and the displacement distances are the same. A second worm gear 18 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the threaded sleeve 17. A second worm 19 is engaged with the bottom end of the second worm gear 18. When the second worm 19 rotates, it can drive the second worm gear 18 to rotate. A power component is fixedly connected to the left side of the support frame 9. The power component is used to drive the second worm 19 to rotate. The power component includes a support bracket two 20 for fixed connection. The right side of the support bracket two 20 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support frame 9. A motor two 21 for providing rotational power is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support bracket two 20. The left side of the second worm 19 is fixedly connected to the right output shaft of the motor two 21. When the motor two 21 is turned on, the right output shaft of the motor two 21 can drive the second worm 19 to rotate. The right side of the second worm 19 is rotatably connected to the left side of the connecting cross bar 10.
[0033] Referring toFigure 1 and Figure 4 The rotating assembly includes a bracket 7 for fixed connection. The right side of the bracket 7 is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting seat 2. The top of the bracket 7 is fixedly connected with a motor 8 providing rotational power. The right output shaft of the motor 8 is fixedly connected with a worm 6. When the motor 8 is turned on, the right output shaft of the motor 8 will drive the worm 6 to rotate. The outer circumference of the worm 6 penetrates and rotatably connects to the inside of the connecting seat 2. The bottom end of the worm 6 meshes with a worm gear 5. When the worm 6 rotates, it can drive the worm gear 5 to rotate. A rectangular groove is opened at the bottom end of the support frame 9. The worm 6 and the worm gear 5 are located inside the rectangular groove at the bottom end of the support frame 9. A rotating column 4 is fixedly connected inside the worm gear 5. The top end of the rotating column 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 9. When the rotating column 4 rotates, it can drive the support frame 9 to deflect by a certain angle. A rotating groove 3 is opened at the top end of the connecting seat 2. Both the front and rear ends of the rotating column 4 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove 3.
[0034] Working principle: When a trainee operates the flight simulator to accelerate, at this time, the motor 21 is turned on. The right output shaft of the motor 21 drives the worm 19 to rotate. The worm 19 drives the worm gear 18 to rotate. The worm gear 18 drives the threaded sleeve 17 to rotate. The threaded sleeve 17 drives the threaded rods 16 on both the front and rear sides to move inward. The threaded rods 16 push the sliding sleeve 15 to move inward. The sliding sleeve 15 drives the sliding column 12 to move inward. While the sliding column 12 moves inward, it also moves to the right, pushing the secondary screen 13 to deflect to the right, increasing the deflection angle of the secondary screen 13 and reducing the viewing angle between the secondary screen 13 and the trainee. Thus, it can physically simulate the field of view during flight acceleration, making it closer to real flight and improving the training effect. When it is desired to conveniently adjust the angle of the screen, the motor 8 is turned on. The right output shaft of the motor 8 drives the worm 6 to rotate. The worm 6 drives the worm gear 5 to rotate. The worm gear 5 drives the rotating column 4 to rotate. The rotating column 4 drives the support frame 9 to rotate. The support frame 9 drives the main screen 14 and the secondary screen 13 to deflect through the connecting cross bar 10, so that the angle of the display device can be adjusted to suit people of different heights.
