The invention relates to the field of virtual reality devices, and in particular to an ejection seat simulator of extraction parachute type for experiencing escape from a manned aircraft.
In the known technology, most of manned aircrafts are equipped with ejection seats. Ejection seats are seats for manned aircraft drivers. When a manned aircraft is in distress, the power device under the seat ejects the driver out of the aircraft cabin, and the parachute is opened to enable the driver to safely land the seat-type lifesaving device.
All countries in the world strictly control the manned aircrafts. After using the ejection seat, no driver is in the manned aircraft and the manned aircrafts will immediately crash. Therefore, no matter whether ordinary people or aircraft drivers cannot experience the ejection seats. Using ejection seats to experience being ejected from manned aircrafts on the ground is different from using ejection seats in the real manned aircrafts. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simulator that simulates an ejection seat being ejected from a real aircraft and landing on the ground.

The other end of the first shaft 34 passes through a bearing 311 on the support plate, and connects to the connecting plate 35 via a universal shaft joint 342.
The first shaft 34 is provided with a connecting member 38 and a plurality of steering cylinders 39 disposed circumferentially along the central axis of the first shaft 34. Two ends of the steering cylinder 39 are hinged with the connecting member 38 and the connecting plate 35, respectively.
The first supporting plate 31, the hydraulic rod 32, the first shaft 34, the connecting plate 35, the motor 36, and the gear set 37 can move up and down along the guide rail 2 under the action of the hydraulic rod 32 and the guide wheel set 33. The first shaft 34 drives the connecting plate 35 to rotate under the action of the motor 36. The steering cylinder 39 disposed on the first shaft 34 is used to adjust the orientation of the connecting plate 35. As the connecting plate 35 directly connects to the somatosensory seat 4, the hydraulic rod 32, the first shaft 34 and the steering cylinder 39 indirectly control the up-and-down motion and the tilting motion of the somatosensory seat 4.
A plurality of first magnetic proximity switches 21 are disposed on the guide rail 2. A first magnet 331 is disposed on the guide wheel set 33. A second magnetic proximity switch 312 is disposed on the first support plate 31. Correspondingly, a plurality of second magnets 341 are circumferentially arranged on the first shaft 34. The first magnetic proximity switch 21 and the first magnet 331 cooperate with each other to determine the height of the guide wheel set 33 from the ground, indirectly obtain the distance of other components of the power device 3 from the ground, and send data to the controller 12. Likewise, the second magnetic proximity switch 312 and the second magnet 341 cooperate with each other to measure the rotation angle of the first shaft 34 and send data to the controller 12 for data processing.
A third support plate 22 is disposed on the top of the guide rail 2. A plurality of illuminating lamps 221 and a spray head 222 are disposed on the third support plate 22. The spray head 222 is connected with the air pump 13. The spray head 222 is used to simulate downward air flow generated when the ejection seat is ejected upward.
The control pull ring 6 includes a ring body 60 and a pull rope 65. An upper end of the pull rope 65 is fixed on the third support plate 22. The ring body 60 is inlaid with a control button 61, a wireless transmission module 62, a tension sensor 63 and a buffer spring 64. One end of the tension sensor 63 is fixed in the inner cavity of the ring body 60. The other end of the tension sensor 63 is connected to a lower end of the pull rope 65. A buffer spring 64 is arranged between the tension sensor 63 and the ring body 60. The function of the control pull ring 6 is to simulate the operation to the parachute during the landing of the ejection seat, such as pulling the pull ring to control the opening time of the parachute, pulling the pull ring to control the direction of the parachute, pressing the control button 61 to cut off the parachute rope, etc. The data generated from the control button 61 in the control pull ring 6 and the tension sensor 63 transmits to the controller 12 for data processing via the wireless transmit module 62.
The somatosensory seat 4 includes a second support plate 41 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 35, a cushion 42 disposed on the second support plate 41, and a safety pressure bar 45. The cushion 42 is provided with a speaker 421. One end of the safety pressure bar 45 is hinged with the second support plate 41. The other end of the safety pressure bar 45 is connected to the second support plate 41 via a safety belt 451.
A plurality of airbags 43 interconnected with the air pump are disposed between the second support plate 41 and the cushion 42. A binding belt 452 for binding the feet is also disposed on the second support plate 41. An electric cylinder 44 is fixed on the second support plate 41, and a foot pedal 442 is fixed on a main shaft of the electric cylinder 44. A first pressure sensor 441 is disposed on the pedal 442. A buffer rubber pad 47 is disposed on the safety pressure bar 45, and a second pressure sensor 471 for determining the pressure of upper limb relative to the safety pressure bar 45 is disposed between the buffer rubber pad 47 and the safety pressure bar 45. The data of the second pressure sensor 471 transmits to the controller 12 for data analysis. The second pressure sensor 471 is a thin plate type pressure sensor. The somatosensory seat 4 is provided with a vibration motor 46 underneath.
The airbag 43 is mainly used to simulate to the feeling of pressure on the upper limb of the human body during the weight loss and overweight environment. The airbag 43 should contain a certain amount of air before use. When the ejection seat is simulated to be ejected upward, the power device 3 accelerates to move upward along the guide rail 2 to generate the real feeling of overweight, while the airbag 43 exhausts air outwards. The feeling of pressure on the upper limb relative to the safety pressure bar 45 is significantly reduced. The power device 3 generates to continuous overweight after receiving the information of movement. When the ejection seat is simulated to land, the power device 3 accelerates to move downward along the guide rail 2 to generate the real feeling of weightlessness, the airbag 43 is inflated. When the power device 3 rises to a certain height, the airbag 43 is filled with a certain amount of air. Since the airbag 43 has a soft texture, the pressure against the upper limb from the safety pressure bar 45 is far greater than other parts. This will generate continuous feeling of weightlessness. The electric cylinder 44 drives the pedal 442 to move upward and downward to generate or not generate support to the lower limb of the human body to enhance the feeling of weightlessness or being overweight. The pedal 442 moves upward to support the lower limb of the human body during overweight. The pedal 442 moves downwards to make the lower limb of the human body lose support during weightlessness. The vibration motor 46 is used to simulate vibration.
The head mounted display 5 is provided with a sensor, a second magnetic proximity switch 312, a first pressure sensor 441, a second pressure sensor 471, a first magnetic proximity switch 21, a control button 61 of the control pull ring 6, and the tension sensor 63 which are respectively wire or wireless connected to the controller 12. The data transmitted to the controller 12 is processed and analyzed. The controller 12 sends an instruction to control the hydraulic rod 32, the motor 36, the illumination lamps 221, the electric cylinder 44, the vibration motor 46 and the head-mounted display 5.
