Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of airborne equipment structure, and in particular relates to a shock-absorbing integrated industrial control computer system. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial control computers (ICCs) play a crucial role in the structure of airborne equipment, especially in helicopter mission systems, performing data processing, image display, and system control for mission equipment such as optoelectronic pods. With advancements in optoelectronic detection and stabilization platform technology, the performance of new-generation optoelectronic payload pods has significantly improved, placing higher demands on the processing power, environmental adaptability, and airborne integration of the supporting ICC system. Firstly, existing technologies have significant shortcomings in mechanical fixation and vibration resistance. Portable ICCs typically lack a rigid connection scheme with the helicopter fuselage, especially with the cabin seats that have a stable mounting base. They are often simply placed inside the cabin or secured only with simple straps. During helicopter flight, broadband, high-intensity vibrations and instantaneous impacts generated by the main rotor, engine, and airflow disturbances are transmitted directly to the ICC body with almost no attenuation. This causes continuous shaking of the entire device and display screen, severely interfering with the operator's visual focus and making it difficult to continuously and stably observe and interpret the dynamically detected targets displayed on the screen, thus reducing mission efficiency. Furthermore, prolonged and severe vibration can cause fatigue damage to internal components and connectors, shortening equipment lifespan and increasing the risk of failure. Secondly, existing technologies also have shortcomings in system integration and cable management. Portable industrial control systems typically have limited functionality, poor expandability and integration, and various external power cables, signal cables, and data cables are often haphazardly distributed around the equipment. In the confined space and densely populated environment of a helicopter cabin, messy cables not only affect the cleanliness and professionalism of the work environment but also easily lead to loose connections, cable wear, and even tangling under vibration, posing potential safety hazards. They also cause inconvenience for daily maintenance and quick disassembly / reassembly of the equipment.

[0003] Therefore, given the current state of the technology, there is an urgent need in this field for an integrated mechanical control system specifically designed for the vibration environment of helicopters. This system should achieve robust integration with the cabin structure, possess effective vibration isolation capabilities, and provide a neat cable management solution to improve system reliability, operational comfort, and ease of maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a shock-absorbing integrated industrial control computer system to solve the problems of equipment shaking, messy cable management, inconvenient operation and poor reliability caused by the lack of effective shock absorption and stable integration in helicopter-borne portable industrial control computer systems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a shock-absorbing integrated industrial control computer system, comprising a shock-absorbing device, a housing, a support plate, a hollow support mechanism, and a reinforcing support structure. The reinforcing support structure is installed at the position after the cabin seat is removed. The reinforcing support structure is an L-shaped frame structure. The bottom surface of the reinforcing support structure is connected to the bottom plate of the cabin seat, and the vertical surface of the reinforcing support structure is connected to the side plate of the cabin seat. A shock-absorbing device is provided above the bottom surface of the reinforcing support structure. The output end of the shock-absorbing device is connected to the housing. The top of the housing is connected to the hollow support mechanism. The top of the hollow support mechanism is connected to the support plate. The interior of the hollow support mechanism is a cable channel, and a display is provided on the support plate.

[0006] Furthermore, a shock-absorbing adapter is connected above the bottom surface of the reinforced support structure, and a shock-absorbing device is connected above the shock-absorbing adapter.

[0007] Furthermore, the container box is equipped with a handle, and handles are provided on both sides of the container box.

[0008] Furthermore, the side of the support plate is provided with a display baffle and a light shield.

[0009] Furthermore, the hollow support mechanism includes two concentric nested sleeve structures, which are slidably connected. The bottom end of the outer sleeve is connected to the housing box, and the upper end of the inner sleeve is connected to the support plate. The two sleeves are locked together by screws.

[0010] Furthermore, a display mounting plate is provided on the support plate, and the display mounting plate is connected to the display.

[0011] Furthermore, the reinforced support structure is constructed by splicing aluminum profiles and corner brackets.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the reinforced support structure is connected to the cabin seat floor via a connector. The lower side of the connector is connected to the cabin seat floor, and the upper side of the connector is connected to the top and side surfaces of the reinforced support structure. The cabin seat side panel is connected to a first adapter plate, the first adapter plate is connected to a second adapter plate, and the second adapter plate is connected to the vertical surface of the reinforced support structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of shock-absorbing devices is four, and the four shock-absorbing devices are installed at the four corner points of the housing.

[0014] Furthermore, the shock absorption device is a rubber-metal composite shock absorber.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a vibration-damping integrated industrial control computer system. By setting up a vibration damping device, it can effectively isolate and attenuate high-frequency vibrations and instantaneous impacts from the helicopter body, directly addressing the problems of severe shaking, easy fatigue damage of components, and loose connections caused by the lack of vibration damping measures in portable industrial control computers. It significantly reduces the vibration energy transmitted to the industrial control computer host and display, extends the service life of core electronic components, improves system reliability, and provides the operator with a relatively stable display screen, enabling continuous and clear observation and interpretation of the detection targets on the screen, directly improving task efficiency.

[0016] This invention utilizes a reinforced support structure and connectors composed of an adapter plate and an aluminum profile frame to form a rigid skeleton tightly connected to the cabin seat, achieving reliable constraint and fixation in three dimensions. It changes the connection method of portable equipment, eliminating the risk of equipment sliding or tipping over within the cabin, and transforms the industrial control computer system into a semi-permanent fixed component within the cabin, greatly improving flight safety. The modular aluminum profile frame provides high rigidity and strength, capable of withstanding various overloads and impacts during helicopter operation.

[0017] This invention employs a hollow cylindrical support mechanism as a concealed cable channel, internally storing all connecting cables. This makes the cabin interior neater and more professional, preventing messy cables from hindering personnel operations and eliminating safety hazards caused by cable wear and tear due to vibration and loose connections.

[0018] This invention fully considers the actual needs of operators. Operators can flexibly adjust the screen viewing angle and height according to their own sitting posture and height, reducing neck and visual fatigue during long-term work. The sunshade effectively prevents direct sunlight and stray light interference from the cabin, ensuring the visibility of the screen content under various lighting conditions.

The lower side of connector 2 is connected to the cabin seat base plate 1, and the upper side of connector 2 is connected to the top and side surfaces of the reinforcing support structure 12. The cabin seat side plate 16 is connected to the first adapter plate 14, the first adapter plate 14 is connected to the second adapter plate 15, and the second adapter plate 15 is connected to the vertical surface of the reinforcing support structure 12. There are four shock-absorbing devices 4, which are installed at the four corner points of the housing 5. The shock-absorbing devices 4 are rubber-metal composite shock absorbers.

[0024] A vibration-damping integrated industrial control computer system includes a vibration damping device 4, a housing 5, a support plate 9, a hollow support mechanism 10, and a reinforcing support structure 12. The reinforcing support structure 12 is installed at the location where the cabin seat has been removed. It is formed by splicing aluminum profiles and corner brackets, creating an L-shaped frame structure. The bottom surface of the reinforcing support structure 12 is connected to the cabin seat base plate 1 via a connector 2. The lower side of the connector 2 is connected to the cabin seat base plate 1, and the upper side is connected to the top and side surfaces of the reinforcing support structure 12 for auxiliary fixation. The vertical surface of the reinforcing support structure 12 is connected to the cabin seat side plate 16 via a first adapter plate 14 and a second adapter plate 15. Specifically, the cabin seat side plate 16 is connected to the first adapter plate 14, the first adapter plate 14 is connected to the second adapter plate 15, and the second adapter plate 15 is then connected to the vertical surface of the reinforcing support structure 12. The aforementioned adapter plate, aluminum profile frame, and connectors form a rigid skeleton that is tightly connected to the cabin seat, achieving reliable constraint and fixation of the system in three dimensions.

[0025] A shock-absorbing adapter frame 3 is connected above the bottom surface of the reinforced support structure 12, and a shock-absorbing device 4 is connected above the shock-absorbing adapter frame 3. The shock-absorbing device 4 is a rubber-metal composite shock absorber, and its stiffness and damping parameters are matched and selected for the main vibration frequency band of the helicopter. In this embodiment, there are four shock-absorbing devices 4, which are installed at the four corners of the housing 5. The output end of the shock-absorbing device 4 is connected to the housing 5, which is used to house equipment such as the industrial control computer host. The housing 5 is equipped with a handle 6, and handles 11 are provided on both sides for easy handling and disassembly.

[0026] The upper part of the display housing 5 is connected to the hollow support mechanism 10. The hollow support mechanism 10 includes two concentric nested sleeve structures. The two sleeves are slidably connected to achieve height adjustment. The bottom end of the outer sleeve is connected to the display housing 5, and the upper end of the inner sleeve is connected to the support plate 9. The two sleeves are locked together by screws, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of the display height. The hollow support mechanism 10 has a hidden cable channel inside for laying power cables and signal cables, and all connecting cables are internally stored.

[0027] A monitor mounting plate 13 is provided above the support plate 9. The monitor mounting plate 13 is connected to the monitor and is used to fix the screen. A monitor baffle 7 and a light shield 8 are provided on the side of the support plate 9. They are detachably installed around the screen to prevent sunlight and stray light from directly hitting the screen surface.

[0028] The main load-bearing structure, consisting of an adapter plate, an aluminum profile frame, and connectors 2, rigidly fixes the entire system to the original installation position of the helicopter cabin seat, ensuring a secure connection with the airframe structure and the ability to withstand various overloads and impacts during flight. When the helicopter generates broadband vibrations and instantaneous impacts during flight, the vibration energy is first transmitted to the reinforced support structure 12. Subsequently, the vibration is transmitted through the damping adapter 3 to four rubber-metal composite shock absorbers 4. The shock absorbers 4 utilize their elasticity and damping characteristics to effectively isolate and attenuate high-frequency vibrations and impacts from the helicopter airframe, significantly reducing the vibration energy transmitted to the housing 5 and its internal precision electronic equipment, thereby protecting the equipment from fatigue damage, extending its service life, and providing a stable foundation for the display.

[0029] The shock-absorbing housing 5 significantly reduces mechanical vibration, greatly minimizing the vibration impact on the hollow support mechanism 10, support plate 9, and monitor connected above it. The operator can adjust the inner and outer sleeves of the hollow support mechanism 10 to a suitable height by loosening screws and sliding them, then locking them back in place, to achieve a comfortable viewing angle. The monitor baffle 7 and light shield 8 effectively block stray light inside the housing, ensuring the visibility of the screen content under various lighting conditions. Simultaneously, all cables connecting the equipment inside the housing 5 to the monitor pass through channels inside the hollow support mechanism 10, achieving concealed cable management and avoiding the mess, wear, and safety hazards caused by exposed cables.

[0030] In summary, this system solves the problems of unstable fixing, lack of effective vibration reduction, chaotic cable management, and poor human-machine efficiency in helicopter-borne portable industrial control computer systems by rigid fixing of the main load-bearing structure, effective vibration isolation of the shock absorption device, height-adjustable display support, and integrated cable management. Ultimately, it provides a stable, reliable, clean, and comfortable human-machine interaction platform.

[0031] The construction process of a vibration-damping integrated industrial control computer system according to this embodiment is as follows: First, a first adapter plate 14 and a second adapter plate 15 made of high-strength aviation aluminum alloy are selected. The first adapter plate 14 and the second adapter plate 15 are connected by bolts, and the first adapter plate 14 is fixed to the mounting point of the side panel 16 of the helicopter cabin seat.

[0032] Subsequently, a series of industrial aluminum profiles with a cross-section of 40mm × 40mm were used, along with high-strength engineering plastic angle brackets, to construct a reinforced support structure 12. The reinforced support structure 12, together with the two transition plates, forms a stable spatial truss structure. To further enhance the system's stability along the Z-axis (vertical direction) and Y-axis (forward and backward direction), a connector 2 was used for auxiliary fixation. This connector 2 has two M6 parallel threaded holes with a center distance of 50mm, which are bolted to a pre-drilled hole below the cabin seat base plate 1, thus achieving complete constraint of the system in the X, Y, and Z directions.

[0033] Next, install the shock absorption device 4. A 5mm thick shock absorption adapter 3 is fixed to the shock absorption adapter 3 using corner brackets. On the shock absorption adapter 3, corresponding to the four corner points of the housing 5, four rubber-metal composite shock absorbers are symmetrically installed using screws.

[0034] Next, the equipment carrier unit is installed. The bottom of the housing 5, which houses the industrial control computer, is securely connected to the upper output ends of the four vibration damping devices 4 using bolts. At this point, vibrations from the helicopter fuselage are significantly attenuated by the vibration damping devices 4 before reaching the precision equipment inside the housing 5. Two folding nylon handles 11 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the housing 5 to facilitate the overall handling and disassembly of the system by ground personnel.

[0035] Finally, the display unit is configured. A hollow support mechanism 10 with an adjustable height of 60mm diameter and a stroke of 300mm is selected. Its hollow interior serves as a concealed cable channel. The power cord and video signal cable of the display are led out from the housing 5 and pass through the interior of the hollow support mechanism 10. The display mounting plate 13 has a pre-set groove on its front, into which adhesive is placed. It is then bonded to the back of the industrial display screen via the groove, and secured to the support plate 9 by four bolts. After adjusting the display to a comfortable height at the operator's eye level, the adjusting screws of the hollow support mechanism 10 are tightened. Finally, the display baffle 7 and the light shield 8 are installed around the display screen using screws. The light shield 8 extends forward and retracts inward, effectively blocking sunlight from the side and preventing glare.

These specific embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to only the described embodiments. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
