Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to flight training equipment technical field especially, and it is a full motion electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft simulator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft is called "electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft", which uses electric power to hover, take off and land vertically. The emergence of this technology benefits from the major progress of electric thrust system (motor, battery, electronic controller) and the growing demand for new vehicles of urban air traffic such as air taxis. Compared with other types of aircraft, eVTOL uses battery as energy, has less noise during flight, and has a more secure and reliable operating system, does not depend on runway and has a smaller size, has more freedom during flight and parking, and is more conducive to traffic operation in the city, and is the mainstream solution of the future UAM market. In order to ensure the safety of flight, simulation and training equipment is an essential part, which can not only improve the reliability of the aircraft, but also bear the important responsibility of training pilots. However, the traditional fixed simulation device generally only integrates the cockpit system, flight control system, front view system and electrical control system, etc. It can only realize a certain degree of simulation machine running effect, and there is a problem of poor simulation effect.

[0003] For example, the existing Chinese utility model patent with application number 202021850851.2 discloses a VR simulation flight movement platform, which can provide a dynamic flight simulation environment and enhance the simulation flight experience. The simulation flight movement platform includes a base, a multi-degree-of-freedom support group installed on the base, a simulation rotating platform installed on the multi-degree-of-freedom support group, a central operation table support installed in front of the simulation rotating platform, a seat base installed behind the simulation rotating platform, left and right mounting tables arranged at the left and right ends of the seat base, and a connecting shaft rod fixedly connected to the upper part of the support frame for installing VR tracker peripherals. Through the above design, the VR simulation flight movement platform of the utility model can freely configure flight simulator peripherals, conduct flight simulation training with the aid of VR technology combined with VR equipment, utilize the rotating effect of the simulation rotating platform and the multi-degree-of-freedom support group to make the flight simulation training state more realistic and enhance the experience of flight simulation. However, the above simulation platform does not integrate more simulation functions into the whole simulator, and lacks a convenient instructor control method, which leads to the inability to conveniently adjust the simulation situation as needed, inevitably causing the lack of more simulation functions, thereby causing a certain degree of experience loss in simulation training. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a fully motorized electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft simulator to solve the problem of poor simulation performance of existing simulators, which affects the simulation training experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A fully motorized electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft simulator includes a counterweight seat, a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform mounted on the counterweight seat, and a simulated cockpit mounted on the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform. The simulated cockpit is equipped with VR simulation equipment, and VR positioning devices that cooperate with the VR simulation equipment are located outside the simulated cockpit. Two VR positioning devices are positioned on the left and right sides of the simulated cockpit. At least four sound simulation devices are evenly distributed within the simulated cockpit. A visual simulation device is located at one end of the simulated cockpit, and a flight control device is located at the other end. Cockpit instrumentation equipment and instructor control equipment are located below the visual simulation device within the simulated cockpit, respectively positioned on the left and right sides of the simulated cockpit.

[0007] Furthermore, the simulated cockpit is equipped with an equipment mounting rack for setting up cockpit instruments and instructor control equipment. The equipment mounting rack includes a vertical end and a horizontal end. The vertical end is located in the middle of the simulated cockpit, and the horizontal end is located above the vertical end. The cockpit instruments and instructor control equipment are both located on the horizontal end. An emergency switch for stopping the operation of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform is provided on the vertical end of the equipment mounting rack.

[0008] Furthermore, the equipment mounting frame is provided with a support bracket for installing the instructor control equipment. The support bracket has a magnetic suction plate above it and a support bar below it. The instructor control equipment is provided with a magnetic suction plate that cooperates with the magnetic suction plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the instructor control device is a tablet computer.

[0010] Furthermore, the vertical end of the equipment mounting bracket is also equipped with a hook for hanging VR simulation equipment at a position corresponding to the position below the emergency switch.

[0011] Furthermore, the simulated cockpit includes a base and an outer shell mounted on the base, the outer shell having an entrance / exit for personnel to enter and exit the simulated cockpit.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is also equipped with tilting foot pedals at the positions corresponding to the flight control equipment.

[0013] Furthermore, a safety railing is also provided on the base corresponding to the position of the flight control equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, the flight control equipment includes a seat and a support frame disposed next to the seat. The simulator cockpit is equipped with an adjustment mechanism that moves the support frame, and the support frame is equipped with control handles.

[0015] Furthermore, the visual simulation device employs a curved display screen.

[0018] (2) The fully-motion electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft simulator described in this utility model, by employing a counterweight seat in conjunction with a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform and combining it with a more compact structural design of the simulator cockpit, can effectively reduce the overall rotational inertia of the equipment on the simulator, providing space for the selection of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform specifications, that is, selecting a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform with a smaller tonnage as much as possible. At the same time, the smaller tonnage multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform also occupies relatively less space, bringing better convenience to the layout of the simulator, which can better meet various usage scenarios and improve the applicability of this simulator.

Furthermore, by adopting detachable instructor control equipment, instructors can also disassemble and move the instructor control equipment as needed, improving the convenience of this simulator in actual use.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] A fully motorized electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft simulator, such as Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, the system includes a counterweight seat 1, a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 mounted on the counterweight seat 1, and a simulated cockpit 3 mounted on the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2. The simulated cockpit 3 is equipped with a VR simulation device 5, and a VR positioning device 6, which works in conjunction with the VR simulation device 5, is located outside the simulated cockpit 3. Two VR positioning devices 6 are positioned on the left and right sides of the simulated cockpit 3. At least four sound simulation devices 13 are evenly arranged inside the simulated cockpit 3. A visual simulation device 4 is located at one end of the simulated cockpit 3, and a flight control device 9 is located at the other end. Cockpit instrument equipment 7 and instructor control equipment 8 are located below the visual simulation device 4 inside the simulated cockpit 3. The cockpit instrument equipment 7 and instructor control equipment 8 are respectively positioned on the left and right sides of the simulated cockpit 3. The instructor control equipment 8 is detachably mounted on the simulated cockpit 3.

[0032] In practical applications, the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 can adopt an existing six-degree-of-freedom platform. The counterweight seat 1 and the simulator cockpit 3 can both be installed on the six-degree-of-freedom platform using conventional installation methods such as bolts. The six-degree-of-freedom platform can be powered and controlled using existing power supply and control equipment, which can also be installed in the middle of the counterweight seat 1, thereby improving the compactness of the simulator and facilitating the balance of the center of gravity.

[0033] Typically, multi-degree-of-freedom motion platforms 2 require anchor bolts for stable operation. However, the simulator in this embodiment achieves stable ground mounting by using a counterweight base 1 to balance the six-degree-of-freedom platform. This eliminates the need for other fixing devices, allowing for independent operation without ground connection. This enables rapid movement and transport of the simulator, reduces anchor bolt installation, and lowers the difficulty of using and moving the simulator. Furthermore, by installing the power supply and control equipment in the center of the counterweight base 1, a separate side-mounted control cabinet can be eliminated, integrating it into the counterweight base 1. This reduces the space required for a separate control cabinet installation and eliminates the extra steps needed for separate control cabinet configuration.

[0034] By employing a counterweight base 1 in conjunction with a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2, and combining this with a more compact structural design of the simulator cockpit 3, the overall rotational inertia of the equipment on the simulator can be effectively reduced. This provides flexibility in selecting the specifications of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2, allowing for the selection of a smaller tonnage platform 2 whenever possible. The smaller tonnage multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 also occupies less space, providing greater convenience for simulator layout and better meeting various usage scenarios, thus improving the applicability of this type of simulator.

[0035] The main innovation of this embodiment lies in the overall structural design of the simulator to achieve a better simulation experience. It does not involve any improvement to the VR simulation device 5, VR positioning device 6, sound simulation device 13, visual simulation device 4, flight control device 9, cockpit instrument device 7, or instructor control device 8 itself, nor does it involve any improvement to the flight simulation program. All of the above devices can adopt the corresponding devices in existing all-motion electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft simulators, and the relevant flight simulation programs can also adopt existing technologies. At the same time, the installation, power supply, control, and connection methods of the above devices are also existing technologies that can be known by those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In practical applications, this simulator can also be equipped with an electrical control cabinet (not shown in the figure) to control the power supply to the aforementioned devices. Specifically, the electrical control cabinet, as a machine-mounted unit providing electrical and network control to the various devices on the simulator, can be configured on the simulator side and connected to it via cables and wireless transmission. The electrical control cabinet can house hardware devices such as power supply components, network configuration components, computer components, flight control components, and terminal interface components, as needed. Using an electrical control cabinet for power supply control is a common technique in this field and will not be elaborated further.

[0037] The simulator in this embodiment is a full-motion simulator that organically combines a multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2, cockpit instrument equipment 7, flight control equipment 9, visual simulation equipment 4, VR simulation equipment 5, sound simulation equipment 13, instructor control equipment 8, electrical control cabinet equipment, and other supporting facilities. It can simulate the operation of a real electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. On the basis of meeting the simulation needs of relevant personnel for the operation of electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, it provides more realistic and settable flight scenarios. Those skilled in the art can also set the simulation program through the instructor control equipment 8 to better complete various flight training subjects, making the simulation effect more realistic.

[0038] Furthermore, by employing a detachable instructor control device 8, instructors can also disassemble and move the device as needed, improving the convenience of this simulator in actual use. In actual use, the instructor control device 8 can communicate with the equipment inside the simulator cockpit 3 via existing wireless communication protocols. Those skilled in the art can also choose other communication methods as needed, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0039] Preferably, the simulated cockpit 3 is provided with an equipment mounting frame 10 for setting up the cockpit instrument equipment 7 and the instructor control equipment 8. The equipment mounting frame 10 includes a vertical end and a horizontal end. The vertical end is set in the middle of the simulated cockpit 3, and the horizontal end is set above the vertical end. The cockpit instrument equipment 7 and the instructor control equipment 8 are both set on the horizontal end. An emergency switch 11 for stopping the operation of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform 2 is provided on the vertical end of the equipment mounting frame 10.

[0040] For example, the equipment mounting bracket 10 can be mounted on the simulator cockpit 3 using existing methods such as bolts. The emergency switch 11 can also be mounted on the vertical end of the equipment mounting bracket 10 using existing methods such as bolts. The emergency switch 11 can be used to connect to power supply control equipment to realize emergency control of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform, thereby realizing the function of stopping the operation of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion platform in an emergency. The emergency switch 11 is a commonly used device in the field, and its connection method is also prior art. This embodiment only reasonably sets the position of the emergency switch 11 and does not design any improvement to the emergency switch 11 itself, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0041] In practical applications, by placing the emergency switch in the middle of the simulation duration 3, it is not only convenient for personnel to use in emergency situations, but also will not interfere with the operation of the flight control equipment 9. Specifically, the vertical and horizontal ends of the equipment mounting bracket 10 can also be staggered to form a recess on the vertical end, and the emergency switch 11 can be placed in the recess on the vertical end, which not only facilitates convenient operation by personnel on the flight control equipment 9, but also reduces the risk of accidental contact.

[0042] Preferably, the equipment mounting frame 10 is provided with a support bracket 14 for mounting the instructor control device 8. A magnetic suction plate 16 is located above the support bracket 14, and a support bar 15 is located below it. The instructor control device 8 is provided with a magnetic suction plate (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the magnetic suction plate 16. For example, the support bar 15 is fixed to the support bracket 14, and the support bar 15 can provide good support and limit the movement of the instructor control device 8. The support bracket 14 can be installed on the equipment mounting frame 10 by screws or other means. The magnetic suction plate 16 can be installed and fixed to the support bracket 14 by adhesive or other means, and the magnetic suction plate can be made of steel plate and installed and fixed to the instructor control device 8 by adhesive or other means.

[0043] By utilizing the magnetic clasp 16 and magnetic plate to conveniently fix the instructor control device 8, the ease of use of the instructor control device 8 by the instructor is improved. The instructor can operate the instructor control device 8 on the flight operation equipment according to actual needs, or the instructor control device 8 can be removed and operated outside the simulator. This allows the instructor to make overall observations of the simulator's operation and adjust the simulator's actions, which is conducive to further improving the simulator's simulation effect.

[0044] In practical applications, the instructor control device 8 uses a tablet computer (such as a PAD, handheld terminal, etc.). The instructor control device 8, in tablet computer hardware form, is located on the right side of the panel of the equipment mounting rack 10. This tablet computer can be placed on the panel of the equipment mounting rack 10 according to the instructor's needs, supported by the support bracket 14, or placed outside the simulator as needed. Specifically, the support bracket 14 uses a bottom support strip 15 and four evenly spaced magnetic plates 16. The magnetic plates can be attached to corresponding positions on the back of the tablet computer. After the tablet computer is placed on the support bracket 14, the magnetic plates 16 magnetically hold the magnetic plates on the back of the tablet computer to ensure its stability.

[0045] Preferably, the vertical end of the equipment mounting bracket 10 is also provided with a hook 12 for hooking the VR simulation device 5 below the emergency switch 11. For example, the hook 12 can be installed and fixed to the equipment mounting bracket 10 by means of screws or other methods. By setting the hook 12 to hook the VR simulation device 5, convenient storage of the VR simulation device 5 can be achieved. In actual use, a head-mounted VR (virtual reality) glasses can be selected as an enhancement function of the visual simulation device 4, bringing a more immersive visual experience to the occupants. The VR simulation device 5 can be connected to the visual simulation device 4 via a transmission cable. The two VR positioning devices 6 used with the VR simulation device 5 are placed on the top of the triangular brackets on both sides of the front of the simulator.

[0046] Preferably, the simulator cockpit 3 includes a base 301 and an outer casing 302 mounted on the base 301. The outer casing 302 has an entrance / exit for personnel to enter and exit the simulator cockpit 3. Specifically, the outer casing 302 and the aforementioned equipment and structures can be mounted and fixed to the base 301 by means of screws or other methods. The base 301 can adopt a lightweight structure, such as a grating plate or a hollow structure, to lower the center of gravity of the simulator.

[0047] In practical applications, the base 301 is also equipped with tilting footrests 304 corresponding to the flight control equipment 9. Two tilting footrests 304 are provided corresponding to the seats 901 of the flight control equipment 9. Each tilting footrest 304 can be installed on the base 301 below the horizontal end of the equipment mounting frame 10 using screws or other means, facilitating foot access and improving the realism and comfort of the simulation. Simultaneously, the base 301 is also equipped with safety railings 303 corresponding to the flight control equipment 9. Multiple safety railings 303 can be installed as needed, for example, on the sides and back of the flight control equipment 9. Each safety railing 303 can be installed on the base 301 using screws or other means to improve the safety of personnel getting on and off the simulator. Furthermore, boarding ladders and cable equipment can also be installed on the base 301 as needed to provide hardware support for improving the simulator's user experience. Those skilled in the art can configure these as needed, and details will not be elaborated here.

[0048] Preferably, the visual simulation device 4 uses a curved display screen. For example, the curved display screen can be mounted and fixed to the base 301 of the simulator cockpit 3 using a mounting bracket, ensuring screen stability during simulator operation. Specifically, the curved display screen located at the front of the simulator cockpit 3 can be used to display simulator visual information. For instance, using an ultra-wide aspect ratio integrated curved display screen as the main screen of the visual simulation device 4 can provide a sufficient horizontal and vertical viewing angle experience within the cockpit's field of vision.

[0049] Preferably, the flight control device 9 includes a seat 901 and a support frame 902 disposed next to the seat 901. The simulator 3 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 904 that moves the support frame 902, and a control handle 903 is disposed on the support frame 902. Exemplarily, the control handle 903 can be existing equipment, and its installation, power supply, and control methods are all prior art, and will not be described in detail here. The adjustment mechanism 904 can be a linear module. The fixed end of the linear module can be fixed to the base 301 of the simulator 3 by screws or other means, and the support frame 902 can be mounted on the slide of the linear module by screws or other means. The power supply and control method of the linear module is prior art, and will not be described in detail here either. By providing the adjustment mechanism 904, the position of the support frame 902 can be adjusted, facilitating the use of the control handle 903 on the support frame 902 by personnel.

[0050] In practical applications, the control handle 903 is mounted on the support frame 902. The control handle 903 can be a four-way control handle with control buttons, which can realize control functions such as simulating real flight actions, flight attitude, and flight speed. At the same time, by equipping the support frame 902 with a front-to-back adjustable adjustment mechanism 904, the front-to-back position of the control handle 903 can be adjusted, which not only meets the needs of personnel operation but also facilitates personnel getting in and out of the simulated cockpit 3.

[0051] Furthermore, two seats 901 can be provided to correspond to the cockpit instrument equipment 7 and instructor control equipment 8, serving as the driver's seat and the passenger seat respectively. Support brackets 902 can be provided on both sides of the driver's seat 901, and operating handles 903 can be mounted on the support brackets 902. Those skilled in the art can adjust the number of support brackets 902 and operating handles according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here. By providing two seats 901, it is convenient for instructors to accompany the trainees, which helps to further improve the training effect.

[0052] Preferably, four, six or more sound simulation devices 13 can be evenly arranged. Taking four as an example, the sound simulation devices 13 can be in the form of a sound amplifier and four matching embedded speakers. The sound amplifier can be installed in the electrical control cabinet and connected to the four speakers installed on the equipment mounting bracket 10 and the base 301 through cables. The four speakers arranged in a distributed manner can provide the occupants with a more realistic aircraft sound effect.

[0053] Preferably, the cockpit instrument equipment 7 can be mounted on the equipment mounting bracket 10 by means of screws or the like. The cockpit instrument equipment 7 is located at the front of the simulated cockpit 3 and below the visual simulation equipment 4. The cockpit instrument equipment 7 can be equipped with two touch control displays and several physical buttons for operation by the pilots. The touch control displays can display avionics parameters, control parameters and other information, and the physical buttons can realize functions such as throttle, power-on and automatic flight control. Those skilled in the art can also select other suitable cockpit instrument equipment 7 according to actual needs to realize the simulated control of flight, which will not be elaborated here.

At the same time, it takes into account the overall operational stability of the simulator, thus providing a fully motorized electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft simulator that is superior to previous solutions.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
