Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of aircraft flight simulation simulator rudder pedals, and specifically relates to a novel aircraft flight simulation simulator rudder pedal. Background Art
[0002] Currently developed military aviation simulators are primarily used for flight training and combat simulation of weapons and aircraft, and are suitable for simulating cockpits of aircraft and other weapons, as well as aircraft cockpit simulations. To address the shortcomings of existing military aircraft flight simulator cockpit simulations, our company has developed a modular military aircraft cockpit simulation that matches the structure and dimensions of a real aircraft. This simulated cockpit features the internal structure and dimensions of a real aircraft, achieving a high degree of simulation. While meeting training requirements, it also boasts a simple structure, easy disassembly, and quick maintenance, resulting in excellent product performance.
[0003] For example, publication number: CN210271318U discloses a flight simulator simulation linkage pedal mechanism, which relates to the field of flight simulators. The flight simulator simulation linkage pedal mechanism includes a base and a foot pedal. There are two foot pedals, and both of the two foot pedals are movably connected to the top of the base. A square groove is provided on the top of the foot pedal, and the inner wall of the square groove is movably connected to the surface of a square plate. The facing surfaces of the two foot pedals are fixedly connected to a U-shaped rod, and a movable plate is movably sleeved on the surface of the U-shaped rod. A groove is provided on the side of the movable plate close to the foot pedal, and the inner wall of the groove is connected to the surface of a ball pin. The utility model solves the problem of the currently common flight simulator simulation linkage pedal mechanism that, when in use, the length of the foot pedal on the rudder is fixed, while the sizes of the feet of different users are different, resulting in low comfort in using the rudder. By providing a square plate, a movable plate, a ball pin and a slot, the utility model solves the problem that, when in use, the length of the foot pedal on the rudder is fixed, while the sizes of the feet of different users are different.
[0004] However, the flight simulator's simulated pedal mechanism, as used by different users with varying foot sizes and operating habits, cannot meet individual needs. Users with larger feet may experience limited space and limited control, while those with smaller feet may struggle to precisely control the pedals and experience fatigue. This reduces user comfort and compromises the operating experience. Utility Model Content

[0021] By adopting this technical solution, the switch turns the power of the foot control on and off, making it convenient for users to operate before and after use. This prevents unnecessary energy waste and device damage. The power light uses different colors or flashing patterns to indicate the power status of the foot control. For example, a green light indicates normal power, while a red light indicates a power failure or charging status. This allows users to intuitively understand the device's operating status. In dark or low-light environments, the power light serves as a reminder to prevent users from accidentally operating or bumping the foot control.
