Detailed Implementation

[0034] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0036] This application provides a virtual reality-based wind turbine hoisting simulation device, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a wind turbine hoisting simulation device based on virtual reality, provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 1The wind turbine hoisting simulation device includes: a control module 1, a display module 2, an operation module 3, and a storage module 4. The display module 2, operation module 3, and storage module 4 are all connected to the control module 1.

[0037] The display module 2 shows the simulated wind turbine installation scenario to the user. The operation module 3 allows the user to perform wind turbine installation operations, generates corresponding interactive data, and transmits the interactive data to the control module. The storage module 4 stores the configuration parameters of the simulated scenario. The control module 1 is the core component of this wind turbine installation simulation device, used to control the power-on and power-off of the device, and to control the operation of the display module 2 based on the interactive data and configuration parameters.

[0038] For example, when using the wind turbine hoisting simulation device, the user performs a simulated wind turbine hoisting operation through the operation module 3, which enhances the user's sense of realism. The operation module 3 responds to the user's operation, generates corresponding interactive data, and transmits the interactive data to the control module 1. The control module 1 controls the display module 2 to display the simulated wind turbine hoisting scene to the user based on the interactive data transmitted by the operation module 3 and the configuration parameters of the corresponding simulation scene retrieved from the storage module 4, thereby enhancing the sense of immersion and helping the user understand the structure of the wind turbine and the hoisting process.

[0039] The wind turbine hoisting simulation device based on virtual reality provided in this application includes: a control module 1, a display module 2, an operation module 3, and a storage module 4. The display module 2, operation module 3, and storage module 4 are all connected to the control module 1. The display module 2 displays a simulated wind turbine hoisting scene to the user. The operation module 3 allows the user to perform wind turbine hoisting operations and generates corresponding interactive data. The storage module 4 stores the configuration parameters of the simulated scene. The control module 1 controls the power-on and power-off of the wind turbine hoisting simulation device and controls the operation of the display module 2. With this configuration, users can perform simulated wind turbine hoisting operations through the operation module 3, enhancing the sense of realism. They can also view the simulated wind turbine hoisting scene through the display module 2, enhancing immersion and allowing them to understand the structure of the wind turbine and the hoisting process.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control module 1 includes a server computer 11 and a central control host 12; the server computer 11 is connected to the central control host 12, the display module 2, the operation module 3 and the storage module 4 respectively; the central control host 12 is used to control the server computer 11 to turn on and off; the server computer 11 is used to control the operation of the display module 2 according to the interactive data and configuration data.

[0041] In this embodiment, the central control host 12 is used to manage the server computer 11, the server computer 11 is used to process interactive data and call configuration data, and control the display module 2 to display the corresponding simulation scene.

[0042] This application does not limit the type and performance of the server computer 11. Any type of server computer known to those skilled in the art can be used, as long as its performance meets the requirements for normal use of the wind turbine hoisting simulation device.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control module 1 also includes a network switch 13, which is connected to the central control host 12 and the server computer 11 respectively.

[0044] In this embodiment, the network switch 13 is used to connect the central control host 12 and the server computer 11, so that the central control host 12 can manage and control the server computer 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control module 1 also includes a smart terminal 14, which is connected to the network switch 13 via a wireless network (Wireless Fidelity, WIFI).

[0046] In this embodiment, the smart terminal 14 is wirelessly connected to the network switch 13, and the network switch 13 is wired to the server computer 11. Thus, the smart terminal 14 transmits control commands to the server computer 11 through the network switch 13, thereby controlling the power-on and power-off of the server computer 11.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the storage module 4 includes a cartridge slot 41 and a cartridge 42; the cartridge slot 41 is connected to the server computer 11, and the cartridge slot 41 includes a slot into which the cartridge 42 is inserted; the server computer 11 reads the configuration parameters stored on the cartridge 42 through the cartridge slot 41.

[0048] Among them, cartridge 42 is used to store configuration data for the simulation scene, including but not limited to parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, light intensity, and temperature.

[0049] For example, the cartridge 42 stores historical data about a certain parameter within a period (e.g., a month or a year). The user selects a certain time point or a time point determined by the default selection rule as the target time point. The server computer 11 applies the parameter corresponding to the target time point to the wind turbine hoisting simulation, and the control display module displays the simulation scene to the user.

[0050] In some embodiments, the server computer 11 is further configured to determine whether the parameter data corresponding to the target time point is within a set range. If it is within the set range, the server computer controls the display module to display a simulated scene of wind turbine hoisting. If it is not within the set range, the server computer controls the display module to display a prompt message to the user that it is not appropriate to perform wind turbine hoisting operations.

[0051] For example, when the wind speed at the target time point is greater than 10 m / s, the user is prompted that it is not suitable to hoist the wind turbine tower and impeller. When the wind speed at the target time point is greater than 5 m / s but less than 10 m / s, the user is prompted that it is not suitable to hoist the wind turbine blades. A temperature of 35℃ or above is defined as a "high-temperature day," and five or more consecutive "high-temperature days" are called "sustained high temperatures," prompting the user that hoisting is not suitable under sustained high temperatures. When the light intensity at the target time point is less than 10 Lux (i.e., at night), the user is prompted that nighttime hoisting is not allowed. When the wind speed is within the set range, after the blades are assembled, the user is prompted that the impeller cannot be hoisted; the blade pitch must be adjusted according to the wind direction to ensure the trailing edge of the blades is aligned with the wind direction and that the blades are under minimal stress.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cartridge slot includes an extended cartridge slot or a multi-cartridge slot.

[0053] In this embodiment, both the expansion cartridge slot and the multi-cartridge slot can include at least two slots, that is, at least two cartridges can be inserted, which helps to increase the capacity of the storage module, thereby storing more configuration data of the simulation scenario. The server computer reads the configuration data from multiple cartridges in parallel and applies it to the hoisting simulation, showing users a richer and more detailed simulation scenario, and reflecting the realism of hoisting from multiple dimensions.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the operation module 3 includes a handle workbench 31, which is connected to the server computer 11.

[0055] In this embodiment, the handle workbench 31 has an appearance similar to the mechanical workbench of a crane. Users can perform the same operations as in actual hoisting on the handle workbench 31, improving the user's hoisting experience. The handle workbench 31 is connected to the server computer 11. In response to user operations, the handle workbench 31 generates corresponding interactive data and transmits the interactive data to the server computer 11.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the handle worktable 31 includes two mechanical handles 311 and a mechanical button 312.

[0057] The handle workbench 31 simulates the mechanical workbench of a double-push-rod crane, including two mechanical handles 311 and mechanical buttons 312. One mechanical handle 311 is used to adjust the boom's elevation angle or height to change the working radius and lifting height. The other mechanical handle 311 is used to simulate controlling the opening of the crane winch, controlling the winding of the wind turbine tower, and fixing or releasing it. Users can also use the mechanical handles 311 and mechanical buttons 312 to complete selection and confirmation operations according to the prompts.

[0058] For example, in the event of a sudden strong wind, the user is prompted to push the mechanical handle 311 to adjust the boom angle to the range of 40° to 60° so that the hook reaches the highest point and the lifting height is slowly reduced to ensure that the lifted object lands smoothly.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the operation module 3 also includes a virtual reality controller (i.e., VR controller) 32, and the display module 2 includes virtual reality glasses (i.e., VR glasses) 21; both the VR controller and the VR glasses 21 are wirelessly connected to the server computer 11.

[0060] With this setup, both the VR controller 32 and the VR glasses 21 are wirelessly connected to the server computer 11, eliminating the need for physical cables. This allows users to move freely and reduces the risk of tripping.

[0061] Among them, the VR controller 32 and the controller workbench 31 are two independent operating devices, and users can choose one of them according to their personal needs.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the display module 2 also includes a display 22, which is connected to the server computer 11.

[0063] The display 22 is used to synchronize the content displayed by the VR glasses 21, so that users who are not wearing the VR glasses 21 can also watch the wind turbine hoisting simulation scene.

[0064] For example, display 22 includes a 75-inch display. Further, the 75-inch display is a portrait display.

[0065] In some embodiments, the server computer and the central control host are connected to the network switch via fiber optic cable or network cable.

[0066] For example, the server computer and the central control host are connected to the network switch 13 via any type of network cable known to those skilled in the art, such as Category 5 (CAT-5), Category 5e (CAT-5E), Category 6 (CAT-6), or Category 6a (CAT-6A), without limitation herein.

[0067] In some embodiments, the server computer can be connected to the handle workbench via Ethernet cable and Universal Serial Bus (USB) bus.

[0068] In some embodiments, the server computer can be connected to the gamepad via a network cable and a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable.
