Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aircraft maintenance technology, and in particular to an aircraft fuel generator control simulation device. Background Technology
[0002] Skills training for aircraft integrated support technicians can be conducted in two forms: hands-on training and simulation training. Hands-on training involves trainees using fully authentic aircraft for integrated support skills training; simulation training involves trainees using a simulation training system designed based on the actual aircraft for integrated support skills training. Conducting integrated support technology training on actual aircraft not only consumes fuel and extends the limited lifespan of the aircraft's equipment, but also easily generates various safety hazards that could potentially harm trainees. Therefore, hands-on training is neither economical nor safe.
[0003] Compared to on-site training, simulation training not only solves the above problems, but also enables simulation training of aircraft fault conditions that are difficult to perform on actual aircraft. This significantly improves the quality and efficiency of aircraft integrated support technology training while saving training costs. Therefore, using aircraft maintenance simulation training platforms for aircraft integrated support technology training has become a primary means and effective method for training aviation maintenance personnel.
[0004] The aircraft fuel generator control box is a core component of the aircraft, responsible for controlling the aircraft's electrical system. It is equipped with multiple control devices corresponding to the core functions of the aircraft, allowing the captain to quickly perform manual control in emergencies. These include landing gear emergency knobs, engine trip left and right switches, fuel cut-off left and right switches, right engine fire extinguishing button, left engine fire extinguishing button, and APU fire extinguishing button.
[0005] Therefore, the aircraft fuel generator control box is a key focus of aircraft integrated support professional skills training and is crucial for training in simulated actual aircraft operations. However, most existing aircraft maintenance simulation training platform systems still use real aircraft fuel generator control boxes, which are costly; a small number use simulation devices, but these are completely identical to real control boxes, meaning their structure and wiring connections are complex, resulting in high costs and inconvenient maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application provides an aircraft fuel generator control simulation device, including a housing and a plurality of control components disposed within the housing, wherein the operating parts of the plurality of control components extend out of the top surface of the housing for operation.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the two slide plates are respectively set on the first side plate and the second side plate, that is, the opposite two sides of the mounting plate are connected to the first side plate and the second side plate. At the same time, the other two sides of the mounting plate are connected to the third side plate and the fourth side plate through locking parts, so that the mounting plate is connected in all four directions, which improves the stability of the mounting plate installed in the box, and thus improves the positional stability of the multiple control components on the mounting plate and the connected data acquisition board.

[0042] Please see Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 This is an exploded view of an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a top view of an embodiment of the present application.
[0043] This application provides an aircraft fuel generator control simulation device, including a housing 100 and multiple control components disposed within the housing 100. The operating parts of the multiple control components extend from the top surface of the housing 100 for operation, enabling teaching using a highly simulated scenario, building a simulation training environment, and applying it to personnel training and periodic retraining, thereby improving training efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, it does not require physical objects, saving resources.
[0044] Understandably, in order to improve the simulation effect, multiple control components and their layout should be as similar as possible to the actual aircraft fuel generator control box.
[0045] In one embodiment, multiple control components include a landing gear emergency knob 1, an engine trip left / right switch 2, a fuel cut-off left / right switch 3, a right engine fire extinguishing button 4, a left engine fire extinguishing button 5, an APU fire extinguishing button 6, a cabin depressurization button 7, generator left / right on / off buttons 8, an environmental control defogging reset button 9, a ground power switch 10, a backup landing gear switch 11, and a nitrogen pressure gauge 12. This provides control components that are identical in appearance to the actual aircraft fuel generator control box, improving the simulation effect and providing effective support for the practical application of simulation training technology.
[0046] In one embodiment, the potentiometer for the landing gear emergency knob 1 is model 3590S-2-103L. The engine trip left / right switch 2 is model MAK-2. The fuel cut-off left / right switch 3 is model XBK1-1S. The right engine fire extinguishing button 4 is model AN-2. The left engine fire extinguishing button 5 is model AN-2. The APU fire extinguishing button 6 is model AN-2. The cockpit depressurization button 7 is model AN-2A. The generator left / right on / off buttons 8 are model KN1A-213. The environmental control defogger reset button 9 is model AN-11. The ground power switch 10 is model KN1A-101-M. The backup landing gear switch 11 is model XBK1-1S. The nitrogen pressure gauge 12 is model BYQ-27. By selecting the above control components, the cost of the simulation device is effectively reduced while ensuring the accuracy of the simulation.
[0047] It should be noted that, due to the high requirements for stability and reliability of each control component in the real flight environment, each control component in the control box needs to be independently equipped with relevant fixing parts to ensure positional stability, and has independent wiring to connect to the corresponding equipment, resulting in a complex structure and wiring, and higher cost.
[0048] To control costs and facilitate maintenance, in one embodiment, the top of the box 100 is open, and a sliding mechanism is also provided inside the box 100. A mounting plate 300 is provided at the end of the sliding mechanism, and the mounting plate 300 is fixed in relative position to the box 100 by a locking member, that is, locked in the normal state to prevent the mounting plate 300 from moving.
[0049] The housing 100 also houses a data acquisition board 400. Multiple control components are connected at one end to the mounting plate 300 and at the other end to the data acquisition board 400. The operating parts of these control components extend out of the mounting plate 300, meaning that multiple control components are connected to the same mounting plate 300 and data acquisition board 400. This reduces the need for additional fixtures and simplifies the wiring connections between the multiple control components, lowering costs and facilitating subsequent maintenance. Furthermore, the external display is identical to that of a real aircraft fuel generator control box, and the data acquisition board 400 can communicate with the aircraft maintenance simulation training platform system to perform simulation training for different operations.
[0050] The sliding mechanism can drive the mounting plate 300 to rise and fall relative to the bottom plate 150 of the box 100 to cover the top opening of the box 100 or extend out of the top opening of the box 100. The maximum rising distance of the mounting plate 300 is not less than the distance between the mounting plate 300 and the data acquisition board 400. Thus, the mounting plate 300 can drive multiple control components and the data acquisition board 400 to enter and exit the box 100 smoothly and reliably through the sliding mechanism. This facilitates the maintenance and individual disassembly of the control components and the data acquisition board 400. At the same time, it can also ensure the accuracy of component positioning and movement, avoid damage, and ensure the accuracy of docking with other components, ensuring normal use in the future.
[0051] To ensure the usability of this simulation device under normal conditions, the side plate of the housing 100 and the mounting plate 300 are detachably connected by locking components and are fixed in relative position during connection. Alternatively, the side plate of the housing 100 and the sliding mechanism are detachably connected by locking components and are fixed in relative position during connection, so that the mounting plate 300 located at the end of the sliding mechanism is fixed in relative position to the housing 100.
[0052] In one embodiment, a light guide plate 310 is provided on the top surface of the mounting plate 300, and the operating parts of multiple control components extend out of the light guide plate 310, thereby improving the simulation effect.
[0053] In one embodiment, the sliding mechanism includes two opposing sliding plates 200. A groove is provided on the side plate of the housing 100 corresponding to the sliding plate 200. The sliding plate 200 is slidably disposed in the groove. The side of the mounting plate 300 is connected to the end of the corresponding sliding plate 200. Thus, the sliding stability and reliability of the sliding mechanism are improved through the cooperation between the sliding plate 200 and the groove. Furthermore, the groove is provided on the side plate of the housing 100, and the sliding plate 200 is slidably disposed in the groove, so that the sliding plate 200 can slide against the side plate of the housing 100, further improving the sliding stability and reliability of the sliding mechanism. This, in turn, improves the stability and reliability of the movement of the multiple control components on the mounting plate 300 and the connected data acquisition board 400, and avoids damage.
[0054] In one embodiment, a support base 210 is provided on the end side of the slide plate 200, and the mounting plate 300 is located on the support base 210. This improves the stability of the connection between the mounting plate 300 and the slide plate 200, thereby improving the stability of the multiple control components on the mounting plate 300 and the connected data acquisition board 400. Preferably, the side of the mounting plate 300 is connected to the side of the slide plate 200 by screws, which simplifies the structure, facilitates disassembly and assembly, and improves maintenance convenience. Furthermore, the mounting plate 300 is provided with screw holes for connecting screws.
[0055] In one embodiment, the box body 100 is a square box body 100, and includes opposing first side panels 110 and second side panels 120, as well as opposing third side panels 130 and fourth side panels 140.
[0056] The first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120 are provided with sliding grooves.
[0057] The third side plate 130 and the fourth side plate 140 are provided with fixing holes 500 at their ends, and locking members pass through the corresponding fixing holes 500 to allow the mounting plate 300 to be detachably connected to the third side plate 130 and the fourth side plate 140. The locking members can also be screws, and correspondingly, the mounting plate 300 is provided with screw hole seats at the corresponding positions.
[0058] Even if the two slide plates 200 are respectively set on the first side plate 110 and the second side plate 120, that is, the opposite two sides of the mounting plate 300 are connected to the first side plate 110 and the second side plate, and the other two sides of the mounting plate 300 are connected to the third side plate 130 and the fourth side plate 140 through locking members, the mounting plate 300 is connected in all four directions, which improves the stability of the mounting plate 300 installed in the box 100, and thus improves the positional stability of the multiple control components on the mounting plate 300 and the connected data acquisition board 400.
[0059] In one embodiment, the base plate 150 of the housing 100 is detachably connected to the side plate of the housing 100, further improving maintenance convenience. An electrical connector 410 is provided on the base plate 150 of the housing 100, and the electrical connector 410 is detachably connected to the data acquisition board 400. This allows the data acquisition board to connect to external devices for power supply and communication. Furthermore, the electrical connector 410's location on the base plate 150 facilitates independent maintenance and replacement. Preferably, the electrical connector 410 is model XS1210TK2 / ZJ10.
[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
