Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of helicopter control system structures, and particularly relates to a helicopter control stick assembly. Background Art

[0002] A helicopter control stick assembly generally consists of a support, a rod body, a dust cover, and a handle assembly. To adjust the friction force of the control system, an independent friction force adjustment device is generally designed in the control system to enable the pilot to obtain an appropriate control force feeling.

[0003] Generally, a helicopter control system has an independent friction force adjustment device. The friction device cannot be adjusted after the control system is adjusted, which is not conducive to the pilot obtaining an appropriate control force feeling. At the same time, the independent adjustment device also brings additional weight. Utility Model Content

[0005] Among them, the upper end of the rod body is installed with a handle, and the lower end is connected to other components of the control system; the threaded part, the adjustment knob, the upper friction bowl, the middle friction bowl, and the lower friction bowl are respectively arranged in series at the bottom of the control stick; the lower friction bowl is installed on the airframe structure through bolts.

[0006] Preferably, it has a threaded part and an adjustment knob, and the adjustment knob can be screwed with it and move up and down.

[0007] Preferably, the upper friction bowl, the middle friction bowl, and the lower friction bowl are respectively arranged in series at the bottom of the control stick to provide friction force for the control stick.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment knob provides adjustable friction force for the upper friction bowl, the middle friction bowl, and the lower friction bowl.

[0009] Preferably, the upper friction bowl, the middle friction bowl, and the lower friction bowl have a dust-proof function.

[0010] Preferably, when the control stick moves forward, backward, left, or right, the friction bowl will generate friction force, and the pilot will perceive this friction force through the rod body. By adjusting the movement of the adjustment knob on the threaded part, the normal pressure applied between the upper friction bowl, the middle friction bowl, and the lower friction bowl is adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the friction force of the control stick assembly.

[0011] This application has the following technical effects:
