AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing aircraft simulation cockpit devices face issues with the smooth and accurate transmission of reaction forces from the wheel reaction force generation unit to the wheel, as the connection wires are affected by the tilting of the column, leading to bending and inefficient force transfer.

Method used

The system incorporates a column that tilts about a first axis with a wheel attached and rotating about a second axis, utilizing a power transmission mechanism, torque and rotation sensors, and servo motors to ensure precise and uninterrupted force transmission, eliminating the need for linkage mechanisms.

Benefits of technology

The system achieves smooth and accurate transmission of wheel rotation and reaction forces, reducing part count, improving reliability, and allowing for versatile operation feel adjustments, while minimizing friction and play.

Abstract

The present invention provides an aircraft control system that can smoothly and accurately transmit the rotation of the wheel and the reaction force generated in the reaction force generation unit, without being affected by the tilting of the column. [Solution] The system comprises a column 12, a wheel 14, and a wheel shaft 40 connected to the wheel 14 via a power transmission mechanism 41, which rotates around a third axis AX3 as the wheel 14 rotates. The wheel shaft 40 is supported at the lower end of the column 12 via a bearing 42, and when the column 12 is tilted, it tilts together with the lower end of the column 12 around the first axis AX1.
