Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flight simulator technology, specifically to a joystick bracket for a flight simulator. Background Technology
[0002] A flight simulator is a machine used to simulate the flight of an aircraft. It is a simulation device that can reproduce the aircraft and the aerial environment and allow for operation. It also needs to simulate the environment inside the aircraft cockpit. The environment inside the aircraft cockpit is complex and includes various instruments and other function buttons that assist in flight. Currently, flight simulators on the market reproduce key control devices such as joysticks and throttles inside the cockpit.
[0003] To simulate the joystick mechanism of a real aircraft, existing flight simulators typically mount the flight joystick on a dedicated joystick bracket. However, most existing joystick brackets are fixed and cannot be adjusted, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure to address its shortcomings and proposed a joystick support for flight simulators. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a joystick support for flight simulators to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a joystick support for a flight simulator, comprising a support column and an adjustment assembly. The support column is a hollow square tube structure, with symmetrical grooves on both sides of its end. A base is bolted to the root of the support column. The adjustment assembly is slidably fitted inside the groove at the end of the support column. The adjustment assembly includes a connector, a rotating shaft, a screw, and a fastening nut. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed on one side of the connector, and a screw is fixedly installed on the other side of the connector. A fastening nut is externally connected to the screw. Both the rotating shaft and the screw slide in cooperation with the groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the connector is externally connected to a sheet metal part, and the sheet metal part has a rotating hole in the middle, and the rotating hole cooperates with the rotating shaft to achieve rotation.
[0008] Furthermore, the sheet metal part has three fan-shaped adjustment holes at its end, and the adjustment holes are matched with the screw and fastened by the fastening nut.
[0009] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixed to the top of the sheet metal part with screws, and the mounting plate is fixed to the flight joystick through screw holes on both sides.
[0010] Furthermore, the mounting plate has heat dissipation grooves evenly distributed in the middle, and the heat dissipation grooves are located below the flight joystick.
[0011] Furthermore, an auxiliary heat dissipation component is attached to the bottom of the mounting plate. The auxiliary heat dissipation component includes a body, a charging interface, and magnetic attachments. The charging interface is located on the side of the body, and the body is attached to the bottom of the mounting plate by magnetic attachments at four corners.
[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary heat dissipation component also includes a central hole, ribs, and a cooling fan. A central hole is provided through the middle of the body, and a cross-shaped rib is fixed to the inner wall of the central hole. A cooling fan is fixed to the bottom of the rib.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In use, this utility model has two aspects: First, the rotating shafts and screws at both ends of the connecting parts slide in conjunction with the end grooves of the support column, and the length can be adjusted by sliding the device up and down. Second, the rotating hole in the middle of the sheet metal part is mounted on the rotating shaft and used as the rotation center to adjust the angle of the end adjustment hole of the sheet metal part relative to the screw, thereby tilting the joystick forward or backward. Both the length adjustment and the angle adjustment can be fixed by fastening the nut, making it convenient for users to adjust. In addition, the sheet metal part at the other end of the support rod also has the function of angle adjustment and is mounted in the middle of the game machine with screws, located between the two legs.
[0015] 2. When in use, the body is attached to the bottom of the mounting plate by magnetic attachments at the four corners. An auxiliary heat dissipation component can be added to the bottom of the mounting plate according to actual needs. The heat dissipation performance of the flight joystick is further optimized based on the original heat dissipation grooves of the mounting plate. The auxiliary heat dissipation component is easy to install and remove and is highly practical. Attached Figure Description
