Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft avionics systems, specifically relating to an integrated backup electronic instrument device. Background Technology
[0002] Integrated backup electronic instruments can simultaneously replace the backup indications of multiple traditional instruments such as the horizon, altimeter, airspeed indicator, and Mach number indicator on a single display instrument, enabling the display (indication) of important flight parameters such as aircraft attitude angles (pitch angle, roll angle), heading, airspeed, altitude, and Mach number. In special circumstances where the main instrument system fails, this highly integrated backup instrument is very helpful for pilots to safely handle emergencies while controlling the aircraft.
[0003] When some or all of the aircraft's air data system, inertial navigation system, heading and attitude system, electronic flight instrument system, and main power supply fail, causing the main flight instrument displays to malfunction, the emergency backup instrument system provides the pilot with a set of parameters essential for flight safety, including airspeed, altitude, attitude, and heading. This information allows the pilot to execute relevant emergency safety maneuvers, enabling a swift emergency return and safe landing. Currently, emergency backup instrument systems have evolved from traditional separate mechanical or electromechanical instrument systems into highly integrated and digital emergency backup display systems.
[0004] Integrated emergency backup display systems, with their advantages of rich and intuitive information display, easy identification, small footprint, and ability to enable glass cockpit designs, are widely used in large and medium-sized civil aircraft and business jets, and are also beginning to be adopted in high-end small aircraft and helicopters. Large and medium-sized business jets have generally adopted integrated emergency backup instrument display systems to attract a wider customer base.
[0005] Currently, commonly used integrated backup electronic instruments consist of six main parts: a light guide plate assembly, a display module, an atmospheric calculation module, an attitude calculation module, a power supply module, and a structural module. Generally, the light guide plate and display module are separate, dedicated modules with both physical and electrical interfaces. Reversed or misaligned electrical interfaces prevent effective electrical connection. Due to installation reliability and waterproof / dustproof requirements, the machining requirements for mechanical and interface surfaces are very high, resulting in high manufacturing difficulty and poor economic efficiency. The large number of functional modules, interactions between modules, and internal components leads to an unreasonable module layout, resulting in dispersed internal components, complex spatial arrangement, low integration, excessive weight, and large size. Furthermore, the small mounting cross-section on aircraft panels contributes to the long dimensions of the integrated backup electronic instruments and the long cantilever structure, further increasing the vibration of tail components.
