Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote driving technology, and more specifically to a remote cockpit. Background Technology

[0002] In the era of Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), as the core driving force for industrial automation transformation and upgrading, are leading the manufacturing industry towards intelligence and digitalization. Among them, remote operation based on immersive technology, with its significant advantages, has demonstrated enormous application value in complex and high-risk operating environments such as military, aerospace, medical, and nuclear power. Remote robots, as a typical representative of this technology, achieve precise control of remote equipment through human-machine interaction signals. Their system architecture typically consists of a cockpit (local control unit) and a remote operating terminal (remote execution unit). This innovative "human-machine separation" model significantly improves operational efficiency while ensuring personnel safety, enabling humans to efficiently command and complete complex tasks from a safe area away from dangerous sites. In the field of smart mining, the application of remote robot technology has become a crucial breakthrough for industry transformation and upgrading. The remote cockpit, as the core carrier of this technology, allows operators to remotely control heavy equipment such as mining trucks and electric shovels from a comfortable and safe control room. By integrating a high-definition vision system, a multimodal sensor array, and a low-latency communication network, operators can obtain real-time information on equipment operating status and the surrounding environment. Using an ergonomic control interface, they can precisely execute commands for acceleration, deceleration, steering, and equipment operation. This innovative remote control mode not only effectively addresses the pain points of high personnel safety risks and harsh working environments in traditional mining operations, but also provides strong technical support for the intelligent construction and sustainable development of smart mines by improving operational accuracy and efficiency.

An adjusting bolt 406 is provided at one end of the industrial slide rail 405. The multi-axis joystick 402 is used for all-round precise control of remote equipment. The side of the industrial slide rail 405 away from the connecting sheet metal 404 is fixedly installed on the side of the mechanical seat 3. The first display screen 7 is mounted on the foot pedal assembly 1 above the foot pedal assembly 1 via a detachable column. The second display screen 9 is used to display the key parameters of each control pedal 103 in real time. The screen movable bracket 8 is used for the horizontal translation and vertical swing of the second display screen 9. The second display screen 9 supports human-machine interaction operation.

[0024] Specifically, the seat frame 2 is composed of multiple welded steel pipes, mainly serving a supporting function. The mechanical seat 3 is fixed to the seat frame 2 by bolts. On both sides of the mechanical seat 3 are identical adjustable left armrest assembly 4 and right armrest assembly 5. Taking the left armrest assembly 4 as an example, the entire left armrest assembly 4 is installed on the side of the seat frame 2 through connecting sheet metal 404.

Considering that the operator needs to work for a long time, a soft and elastic armrest pad 403 is specially added to the outer shell 401 to provide comfortable arm support for the operator. The entire seat frame 2 is carefully designed according to ergonomic principles and has multi-directional adjustment functions, which can be precisely adapted to the body characteristics of different people, greatly enhancing the comfort during operation.

[0025] Furthermore, the foot pedal assembly 1 includes an anti-slip base plate 101, a speaker 102, and a control pedal 103. The speaker 102 is located above the anti-slip base plate 101, and the control pedal 103 is located on one side of the anti-slip base plate 101. The control pedal 103 is used to control the speed of the remote robot. There are three sets of control pedals 103 arranged at equal intervals. The three sets of control pedals 103 correspond to three different control commands for the remote robot: acceleration, deceleration, and parking. The seat bracket 2 is composed of multiple welded steel pipes, and the mechanical seat 3 is fixed to the seat bracket 2 by bolts.

[0026] Specifically, since the three control pedals 103 have different functions, corresponding to different control commands of the remote robot for acceleration, deceleration, and parking, the tactile feedback of each control pedal 103 has been carefully calibrated to ensure that the operator can accurately control the robot during various operations and issue precise action commands to it. A first display screen 7 and a second display screen 9 are installed directly in front of the mechanical seat 3. The first display screen 7 effectively widens the operator's field of vision, reduces blind spots, and provides a more immersive visual experience. While sitting in the mechanical seat 3, the operator can clearly and intuitively observe the environment of the remote equipment without significantly turning their head. To obtain comprehensive visual information, the second display screen 9 in the lower right corner has important auxiliary functions, which can display key parameters of each control pedal 103 in real time, such as the travel and pressure values ​​of the control pedal 103. At the same time, the second display screen 9 supports human-computer interaction, allowing operators to flexibly adjust the parameters of the control pedal 103 according to actual needs. In actual use, the position design of the second display screen 9 fully considers human operating habits. The screen's movable support 8 adopts a joystick structure design, which allows operators to easily pull it in front of them to view and adjust parameters. After use, it can be conveniently pushed back to the lower right corner to avoid interfering with the operation of other components, ensuring that the entire operation process is smooth and efficient.

[0027] Furthermore, the mechanical seat 3 adopts an ergonomic structure, the electrical control cabinet 10 adopts a wall-mounted structure, the core processor of the electrical control cabinet 10 uses a high-performance industrial-grade chip, and the control console 11 integrates a variety of functional components including a keyboard, mouse, emergency stop button, and various other control buttons and knobs for adjusting different functions and parameters of the robot.
