Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of simulator manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a simulator power supply device and a simulator controller. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, simulators typically require a power supply from a controller (such as a power outlet). However, due to limited installation space, the power outlet may be exposed beneath air conditioning ducts. These ducts are prone to condensation, especially in environments with high humidity or large temperature differences. If this condensation drips onto the power outlet and plug, it can cause short circuits or damage to electrical components, thus affecting the simulator's normal operation. Secondly, the simulator generates long-term vibrations during operation, which can loosen or completely detach the connection between the power plug and outlet, leading to power outages or electrical faults and adversely affecting the stability of the equipment's power supply.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing waterproof covers typically increase the size of the equipment, making them unsuitable for installations with limited space. Traditional plug fixing methods (such as using tape or bolts) may still loosen under long-term vibration and are inconvenient to maintain.
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, there is an urgent need in the field for an analog power supply technology to prevent condensation dripping in a confined space and to prevent poor contact or loosening of the plug, thereby improving the power supply stability of the device and improving the operational reliability of the analog machine.

Therefore, the first component, region, layer, and / or part discussed below may be referred to as the second component, region, layer, and / or part without departing from some embodiments of this utility model.
[0048] As mentioned above, simulators typically require a power supply (such as a socket) during operation. However, due to limited installation space, the socket is often exposed beneath air conditioning ducts. These ducts are prone to condensation, especially in environments with high humidity or large temperature differences. If this condensation drips onto the socket and plug, it can cause short circuits or damage to electrical components, thus affecting the simulator's normal operation. Secondly, the simulator generates long-term vibrations during operation, which can loosen or completely detach the connection between the power plug and socket, leading to power outages or electrical faults and adversely affecting the stability of the equipment's power supply.
[0049] To address the aforementioned issues, existing waterproof covers typically increase the size of the equipment, making them unsuitable for installations with limited space. Traditional plug fixing methods (such as using tape or bolts) may still loosen under long-term vibration and are inconvenient to maintain.
[0050] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, the present invention provides a simulator power supply device and a simulator controller, which are used to prevent condensation dripping in a limited space and to prevent poor contact or loosening of the plug, thereby improving the power supply stability of the device and improving the operational reliability of the simulator.
[0051] In some non-limiting embodiments, the simulator power supply device used in the first aspect of the present invention can be configured within the simulator controller provided in the second aspect of the present invention. Specifically, the simulator controller includes: an air conditioning duct 10 for transmitting air, refrigerant, or heat; and the simulator power supply device as described in the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the simulator power supply device is located below the air conditioning duct 10.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a simulator power supply device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the simulator power supply includes a power interface assembly and a drip-proof cover 50. The power interface assembly includes multiple sockets 30. These sockets 30 can be PDU sockets 30. The multiple sockets 30 are fixedly connected to a first mounting hole on a mounting surface 20 for connecting a plug 40. The drip-proof cover 50 includes a fixing part 501 and a blocking part 502. The fixing part 501 is installed in a second mounting hole 5011 on the mounting surface 20. The main inclined surface 5021 of the blocking part 502 forms a downward angle of 5° to 15° with the horizontal plane to positively guide water droplets falling onto the main inclined surface 5021.
[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the waterproof cover plate 50 is made of aluminum alloy and its surface is coated with waterproof paint to prevent moisture from penetrating into the surface or interior of the aluminum alloy material.
[0055] Here, before applying the waterproof paint, the aluminum alloy waterproof cover plate 50 can be anodized.
[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the shielding part 502 further includes: a side slope 5022, disposed on both sides of the main slope 5021, for laterally guiding water droplets falling on the side slope 5022.
[0057] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the angle between the side inclined surface 5022 and the main inclined surface 5021 is 40° to 50° downwards. Preferably, the angle between the side inclined surface 5022 and the main inclined surface 5021 is 45°.
[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the main inclined surface 5021 and the side inclined surface 5022 are composed of integrally formed sheet metal bending parts.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the simulator power supply device covered with absorbent cotton according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper surfaces of the main inclined plane 5021 and the side inclined plane 5022 are both covered with absorbent cotton 5023 to absorb water droplets falling on the main inclined plane 5021 and / or the side inclined plane 5022. Here, the absorbent cotton 5023 can prevent water droplets from affecting other systems of the simulator.
[0061] Furthermore, the absorbent cotton 5023 can be replaced through regular inspections. At the same time, it can be used to check whether condensation is generated in the air conditioning pipe 10, or to roughly judge the amount of condensation generated by the dryness and wetness of the regularly replaced absorbent cotton 5023, thus playing a certain monitoring role.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a sealing strip for a simulator power supply device provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the simulator power supply device also includes: a sealing strip 60, which is disposed between the mounting surface 20 and the fixing part 501 of the waterproof drip cover plate 50, for sealing the gap between the mounting surface 20 and the fixing part 501 of the waterproof drip cover plate 50.
[0064] Please refer to the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 5 . Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a torsion spring assembly of a simulator power supply device according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 A side view of a simulator power supply device according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0065] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the simulator power supply unit also includes a torsion spring assembly. This torsion spring assembly includes a torsion spring 70 and a torsion spring seat 80. Preferably, the torsion spring 70 is a double torsion spring. The torsion spring seat 80 is mounted on the waterproof cover 50, and the torsion spring 70 and torsion spring seat 80 are fixedly connected. The torsion of the torsion spring 70 provides a pre-tightening force to the plug 40, pressing the plug 40 onto the socket 30, thus preventing the plug 40 from loosening due to vibration. Furthermore, during later maintenance, maintenance personnel only need to remove the torsion spring 70 to plug or unplug the plug 40 without any tools, making the operation convenient for maintenance personnel.
[0066] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 , Figure 6 An exploded view of a screw provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0067] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first mounting hole and / or the second mounting hole 5011 are threaded holes, and the drip-proof cover plate 50 is provided with a third mounting hole 801. The socket 30 is mounted on the mounting surface 20 via the first screw 301 and the first mounting hole. The fixing part 501 of the drip-proof cover plate 50 is mounted on the mounting surface 20 via at least three second screws 5012 (e.g., round head hexagonal screws M6*8) and the second mounting hole 5011. The torsion spring seat 80 is mounted on the drip-proof cover plate 50 via the third screw 802 and the corresponding nut 803 (e.g., countersunk head hexagonal screws M4*10 and M4 nut 803), cooperating with the third mounting hole 801.
[0068] In summary, this utility model provides a simulator power supply device and a simulator controller, which can be used to prevent condensation dripping in a limited space and to prevent poor contact or loosening of the plug, thereby improving the power supply stability of the equipment and enhancing the operational reliability of the simulator.
