[0040] (first embodiment)
[0041] (structure of the airplane automatic brake switch 100)
[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , in the present embodiment, the airplane automatic brake switch 100 comprises: a switch panel 1, which is formed with marks indicating RTO gear, OFF gear, LO gear, MED gear and HI gear, wherein the "RTO gear" is the gear for interrupting takeoff of the airplane on the ground, the "OFF gear" is the airplane automatic brake off / cancel gear, the "LO gear, MED gear and HI gear" are the low, medium and high gears of the landing automatic brake reduction rate of the airplane, and a plurality of scales 11 of the precision for fine adjustment of the above-mentioned five gears are formed; a knob 2, which is formed in a substantially long strip shape, comprises a front end portion 21, a base end portion 22, a knob fixing rod 23 and a knob circuit 24, the front end portion 21 is formed in a shape with a thin front end relative to the base end portion 22, and a knob indicating strip 211 containing fluorescent material is formed on the front end portion 21, the knob 2 is electrically connected to the knob circuit 24 via the knob fixing rod 23; a gear reduction rate fine adjustment dial 3, which is arranged below the knob 2 and is provided with an arrow-shaped dial indicating strip 31 containing fluorescent material, the gear reduction rate fine adjustment dial 3 is connected to a sliding rheostat 331 via a dial fixing rod 32; and a brake control unit 4, which is electrically connected with the knob circuit 24 and the dial circuit 33.
[0043] Regarding the circuit structure of the knob 2 and the gear reduction rate fine adjustment dial 3 and its working principle, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the rotation of the knob 2 drives the opening and closing of the knob circuit channel switch 25 to select different circuit channels, and different circuit channels output different voltages V1, which are input to the knob signal processing circuit 41 of the brake control unit 4, which converts the voltage V1 into different deceleration rates Vf1 and inputs them to the deceleration rate module 43. On this basis, when the operator operates the gear deceleration rate fine adjustment dial 3 to rotate, it drives the slider of the sliding rheostat 331 to move, the resistance value changes, and different voltages V2 are generated, which are input to the deceleration rate fine adjustment dial signal processing circuit 42 of the brake control unit 4, which converts the voltage V2 into different deceleration rate fine adjustment percentages K, which satisfy -10%≤K≤+10%, and are input to the deceleration rate module 43. The deceleration rate module 43 calculates the final deceleration rate Vf' through the model Vf=Vf1(1+K), and outputs it to the brake actuator (not shown) to make the brake actuator brake at the final deceleration rate Vf'.
[0044] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 The knob indicator bar 211 and the dial indicator bar 31 both contain fluorescent materials, so the gear of the knob can be identified even in night navigation conditions.
[0045] (Technical effects of the embodiment)
[0046] As described above, by continuing to rotate the gear deceleration rate fine adjustment dial after the knob is rotated to a specific gear (for example, the LO gear), the deceleration rate of the specific gear is further fine adjusted. In addition, since the knob indicator bar and the dial indicator bar contain fluorescent materials, the gear of the knob can be identified even in night navigation conditions.
[0047] The above, in order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model more clear, the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model is clearly and completely described with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model, obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, rather than all the embodiment. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative labor belong to the range to be protected by the utility model.
[0048] In the above embodiment, the knob 2 has only five gears, but the utility model is not limited thereto, and can also have other numbers of gears.
[0049] In the above embodiment, the knob indicator bar and the dial indicator bar contain fluorescent materials, but the utility model is not limited thereto, and can also have fluorescent strips pasted.
