Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of simulated cockpit canopy technology, specifically a simulated cockpit canopy for helicopters. Background Technology

[0002] The auxiliary teaching and training system is mainly used for training trainees in the use of cockpit equipment and basic flight operation procedures. It is one of the important simulation training devices in the aviation theory learning stage of flight students. The simulated cockpit of the auxiliary teaching and training system is an important component of the system.

[0003] Patent CN217562155U discloses a simulated cockpit for an auxiliary teaching and training system, including a cockpit platform, cockpit structure, forward panel, throttle assembly, control stick assembly, rudder assembly, simulated seat, and data acquisition and power system. The system adopts a "virtual-real combination" design method, using physical simulation components to enhance the realism of the experience. The forward panel uses virtual simulation to simulate the instruments, reducing costs. The data acquisition and power system adopts a modular, lightweight design, providing cockpit data acquisition and equipment power supply functions for ease of use. Its purpose is to provide a simulated cockpit training environment for flight trainees to conduct auxiliary teaching of aviation theory, meeting training needs while achieving a simple structure, low cost, and convenient maintenance.

[0004] However, the simulation using the aforementioned equipment cannot adapt to the flight trajectory and tilt. In actual flight operations, it is a crucial skill for pilots to adjust their actions based on changes in flight trajectory and tilt. The simulation cockpit cannot simulate the corresponding motion based on these factors. When the pilot makes operations on the control stick or rudder to change the flight trajectory or tilt, they cannot obtain cockpit dynamic feedback similar to that of real flight. Because the simulation cockpit cannot perform adaptive motion simulation, pilots find it difficult to accurately judge the degree of impact of their actions on flight attitude, which is not conducive to the effective training of operational skills. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a helicopter simulation cockpit canopy to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art that the simulation process cannot adapt to the flight trajectory and tilt.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A helicopter simulation cockpit canopy includes a stabilizing ring, within which a dynamic simulation mechanism is fixedly installed. A cockpit canopy body is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the dynamic simulation mechanism. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at one end of the lower surface of the cockpit canopy body, and a U-shaped panoramic display screen is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod. The U-shaped panoramic display screen completely covers the periphery of the front end and the viewing windows on both sides of the cockpit canopy body.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this invention, the cockpit canopy body can be moved together with the U-shaped panoramic display screen by the dynamic simulation mechanism, so that the U-shaped panoramic display screen can always cover the outer perimeter of the front and side windows of the cockpit canopy body, allowing the pilot's visual perception and physical motion perception to be better coordinated.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two sets of connecting plates are fixedly installed at one end of the cockpit canopy body, and a step plate is fixedly installed between the two sets of connecting plates.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the cockpit canopy body integrates a seat back and a control panel, and the control panel is electrically connected to the U-shaped panoramic display screen and the dynamic simulation mechanism.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the operation commands on the control panel, such as changing the flight speed and adjusting the flight attitude, are first converted into digital signals. These signals are then sent to the dynamic simulation mechanism and the U-shaped panoramic display screen, enabling the dynamic simulation mechanism to adjust the motion state of the cockpit canopy body according to the received signals. If the control panel issues a command to turn left, the dynamic simulation mechanism will correspondingly control the cockpit canopy body to tilt to the left at a certain angle.

[0012] The U-shaped panoramic display screen updates its content based on the received signals. When the cockpit canopy tilts to the left, the field of view displayed on the U-shaped panoramic display screen will also shift to the left accordingly.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the dynamic simulation mechanism includes a first triangular plate, which is fixedly installed inside a stabilizing ring. An electric push rod is rotatably installed on the upper triangular surface of the first triangular plate. A universal ball is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the electric push rod. The universal ball is rotatably installed in a rotating groove. The rotating groove is opened on the lower surface of the second triangular plate, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the cockpit canopy body.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model's simulated helicopter cockpit canopy are as follows:

[0015] 1. During use, passengers enter the canopy via the step and sit on the seat back to conduct flight training via the control panel. During training, the control panel converts the trainee's actions into digital signals, which are then sent to the dynamic simulation mechanism and the U-shaped panoramic display screen. This provides immediate feedback to the trainee. For example, if the trainee performs a left turn on the control panel, the dynamic simulation mechanism quickly adjusts the canopy's attitude, tilting it to the left. Simultaneously, the U-shaped panoramic display screen shows the corresponding visual change, such as a leftward shift in the field of view. This instant feedback allows trainees to more accurately grasp the impact of each operation on flight attitude, thereby effectively improving their flight performance. The high level of operational skill required, coupled with the cockpit's tilt to the left, causes the U-shaped panoramic display screen to tilt accordingly, ensuring it remains within the trainee's field of vision. This guarantees uninterrupted access to flight-related information, such as flight instrument data and simulated external environments, on the U-shaped panoramic display screen. During simulated turns, the trainee will not lose sight of critical instrument data, such as the altimeter and airspeed indicator, due to the screen's movement, allowing for smoother operation and significantly enhancing the realism of the flight simulation. This immerses the trainee more deeply in the flight training scenario, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of the training.

[0016] 2. When the left flight control operation is performed through the control panel, the corresponding digital signal causes the electric push rod to push the universal ball to rotate in the rotating slot with appropriate force, thereby enabling the second triangle plate to be raised or lowered. This, in turn, causes the second triangle plate to cause the upper surface of the cockpit canopy to tilt accordingly, allowing trainees to accurately feel the actual effect of the operation, which helps to improve their understanding and mastery of flight operation control.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention should be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] See Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a helicopter simulation cockpit canopy, including a stabilizing ring 1, a dynamic simulation mechanism 2 fixedly installed inside the stabilizing ring 1, a cockpit canopy body 3 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the dynamic simulation mechanism 2, a connecting rod 401 fixedly installed at one end of the lower surface of the cockpit canopy body 3, and a U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 401. The U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 completely covers the periphery of the front end and the two sides of the viewing windows of the cockpit canopy body 3.

[0027] The cockpit canopy 3 can be moved together with the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 by the dynamic simulation mechanism 2, so that the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 can always cover the outer perimeter of the front and side windows of the cockpit canopy 3, allowing the pilot's visual perception and physical motion perception to be better coordinated.

[0028] Two sets of connecting plates 301 are fixedly installed at one end of the cockpit canopy body 3, and a step plate 302 is fixedly installed between the two sets of connecting plates 301.

[0029] The cockpit canopy body 3 integrates a seat back 304 and a control panel 303, which is electrically connected to the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 and the dynamic simulation mechanism 2.

[0030] The operating commands on the control panel 303, such as changing the flight speed and adjusting the flight attitude, are first converted into digital signals. The digital signals are sent to the dynamic simulation mechanism 2 and the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4, so that the dynamic simulation mechanism 2 can adjust the motion state of the cockpit canopy body 3 according to the received signals. When the control panel 303 issues a command to turn left, the dynamic simulation mechanism 2 will correspondingly control the cockpit canopy body 3 to tilt to the left at a certain angle.

[0031] The U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 updates the displayed content according to the received signals. When the cockpit canopy body 3 tilts to the left, the field of view displayed on the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 will also shift to the left accordingly.

[0032] In use, trainees can enter the cockpit canopy 3 via the step 302 and sit on the seat back 304 to conduct flight training via the control panel 303. During flight training, the control panel 303 converts the trainee's operations into digital signals, which are then sent to the dynamic simulation mechanism 2 and the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4, providing immediate feedback to the trainee. For example, if the trainee performs a left turn operation on the control panel 303, the dynamic simulation mechanism 2 will quickly adjust the attitude of the cockpit canopy 3 to tilt it to the left, and the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 will also display the corresponding visual change, such as a shift in the field of view to the left. This instant feedback allows the trainee to more accurately grasp the impact of each operation on the flight attitude. The cockpit canopy 3 tilts to the left, which in turn causes the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 to tilt accordingly. This ensures that the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 remains within the trainee's field of vision, allowing the trainee to continuously access flight-related information such as flight instrument data and simulated external environments. When the simulated aircraft is turning, the trainee will not lose sight of key instrument data such as the altimeter and speedometer due to the movement of the display screen, enabling smoother operation and greatly enhancing the realism of the simulated flight. This allows the trainee to be more deeply immersed in the flight training scenario, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of the training.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the dynamic simulation mechanism 2 includes a first triangular plate 201, which is fixedly installed inside the stabilizing ring 1. Electric push rods 202 are rotatably installed on the upper triangular surface of the first triangular plate 201. A universal ball 203 is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the electric push rod 202. The universal ball 203 is rotatably installed in the rotating groove 205. The rotating groove 205 is opened on the lower surface of the second triangular plate 204. The second triangular plate 204 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the cockpit canopy body 3.

[0034] Through the design of the electric push rod 202, the omnidirectional ball 203, and the second triangular plate 204, when the trainee performs a left flight control operation through the control panel 303, the corresponding digital signal will cause the electric push rod 202 to push the omnidirectional ball 203 to rotate in the rotating slot 205 with appropriate force. This will enable the second triangular plate 204 to be raised or lowered, thereby causing the second triangular plate 204 to drive the upper surface of the cockpit canopy 3 to tilt accordingly. This allows the trainee to accurately feel the actual effect of their operation, which helps to improve their understanding and mastery of flight operation control.

[0035] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: When in use, trainees can enter the cockpit canopy body 3 through the step plate 302 and sit on the seat back 304 to conduct flight training through the control panel 303. During the flight training, the control panel 303 will convert the trainee's operation into digital signals, which will be sent to the electric push stick 202 and the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 to obtain feedback on the operation.

[0036] If the trainee performs a left turn operation on the control panel 303, the corresponding digital signal will control the corresponding electric push rod 202 to push the universal ball 203 to rotate in the rotating slot 205 with appropriate force. This will allow the second triangle plate 204 to be raised or lowered, causing the second triangle plate 204 to tilt the upper surface of the cockpit canopy 3 accordingly. At the same time, the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 will also show corresponding visual changes, such as a leftward shift in the field of view. As the cockpit canopy 3 tilts to the left, it will also cause the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 to tilt accordingly, ensuring that the U-shaped panoramic display screen 4 is always within the trainee's field of view. This ensures uninterrupted access to flight-related information such as flight instrument data and external environment simulations. When simulating a turning maneuver, the trainee will not lose sight of key instrument data, such as the altimeter and speedometer, due to the movement of the display screen, thus enabling smoother operation.

[0037] In summary, during flight simulation, this invention can drive the cockpit canopy body 3 to perform adaptive motion simulation according to the flight trajectory and tilt, thereby allowing trainees to accurately feel the actual effects of the operation and helping to improve their understanding and mastery of flight operation control.
