Description
The invention relates to a kind of equipment that can simulate free-falling.It has a vertical wind tunnel, and air-flow is from bottom to top arranged in the wind-tunnel, thereby can make the people (as the chutist) who does free-falling can keep static substantially in wind-tunnel.The present invention still can simulate the free-falling simulator that shows external environment condition about a kind of in the free-falling process.
For a long time, parachuting training needs a kind of economy, means reliable, that do not rely on weather to help chutist's study and the action that must take and the posture of raising in the free-falling process always.Some simple relatively methods have been invented, such as hanging the chutist in case it contacts to earth with rubber band.This flexible rope can make the chutist be in a kind of environment of approximate free-falling, and chutist's action simultaneously can be controlled significantly by the coach.This method, although economical, too wide in the gap from real free-falling environment, thus can't make the chutist really experience free-falling, also can do nothing to help its ability of posture control when correctly training landing.
The designers of free-falling simulator also are subjected to being used in the research institution doing the inspiration of the vertical wind tunnel of aerodynamic experiment.Although cost is high, these vertical wind tunnels can make the chutist keep static when energy is enough when free-falling.At this moment, air-flow from bottom to top passes the wind-tunnel pipe with 40 meter per seconds to the speed of 70 meter per seconds.
Designers have invented various free-falling simulator based on wind-tunnel, are used to the target that reaches different.The wind-tunnel diameter of some simulator and horsepower are all enough powerful, can realize two or three chutists' free-falling simulation simultaneously, and this can help the chutist to learn the profile of cognitive other players in parachuting competition.
The simulator that patent US 3484953 and patent GB 2094162 come to this.These two employed wind-tunnel of patent all are closos, get back to air blast along the passage of sealing again after promptly air-flow is gone out from the top of wind-tunnel.In this design, the infrastructure of wind-tunnel normally concrete is formed, therefore since their huge volume and weight have to fixedly mount.
In order to reduce the cost at parachuting training center, simultaneously in order to build a kind of free-falling simulator that can experience for the public, that people have begun to imagine is lighter, be easier to the simulator constructing and transport.
Such example such as patent GB 2062557.In this patent, it realizes the wind-tunnel of foregoing the sort of loop.The another one example is patent WO 83/01380, and it adopts a kind of wind-tunnel of opening, and promptly air-flow is directly emitted from the outlet on wind-tunnel top.
All these simulators have all taked some measures to protect the participant more or less.But add on catch net or wind-tunnel wall the mat, they are not from solving the safety that guarantees the participant in essence.
Among the patent application WO 83/01380 that mentions in front, wind-tunnel wall is made up of a kind of material (as cloth etc.) of flexibility.But it still need be used for flexible cloth is fixedly got at the support of the rigidity of arranged around of wind-tunnel.But this device and incompetent assurance participant can not bump against on the rigid support, especially when flexible hole wall is torn.
Although the participant can adopt various individuals' safeguard measure, such as the helmet etc., the participant can meet accident or accident when using these simulators sometimes, even for the participant of frequent contact.
In order to improve the authenticity of simulator, people have proposed the method for display of visually environment in the wind-tunnel of free-falling simulator.In United States Patent (USP) 5655909, the inventor has proposed to install the method for screen display chutist's environment on the part of wind-tunnel wall.This patent is included in the part of wind-tunnel wall is replaced with the display screen of a lot of fritters, is used for display image, and this equipment also is called the image wall.The image wall can be on relatively large surface display image, but at the edge of display screen and screen display image well.Simultaneously, it is also overweight and be difficult to install.Simultaneously, if the participant has bumped against on the wall, the image wall can increase the weight of injured danger of participant and degree.
This patent has proposed a kind of novel free-falling simulator.It is easy to install and operation, and maximum safety guarantee is provided, and also provides the visual environment of 360 degree to show simultaneously.
More particularly, free-falling simulator in this patent comprises that a powerful air blast is enough to make the participant to keep static air-flow with generating, and one by film flexibility, durable, that stiff material is made (cloth such as a column type is fixed on the framework at two ends).Film vertically is being expanded out and only is being fixed on the superstructure of supporting frame.
Wind-tunnel wall is preferably rolled and is closed by a monoblock fexible film and forms.
The benefit of above-mentioned superstructure is, the leave one's post structure of what rigidity of wind-tunnel wall is all far, thereby has guaranteed that the participant can bump against any rigid structure never.
Realize that air-blast device comprises at least one engine (preferably being placed on independent room), at least one helical wheel and a rectifier-diffuser in the example for one at this patent.
An advantage is, rectifier-diffuser just in time is positioned at the top of engine room, and superstructure make wind-tunnel just in time be positioned at rectifier-diffuser directly over, and on its vertical axis.
Realize that the air communication that need be accelerated is crossed a pore and counted engine room in the example for one at this patent, the inside has an engine at least.
Simple for the convenience of transporting, assembly and disassembly, air blast preferably is installed in the transport case in a kind of fixing mode.
In a special case of this patent, the flexible material film that constitutes the wind-tunnel wall is translucent, shows the image of coming in from wind-tunnel outside projection thereby can be used as screen.Image is installed in the outer projecting apparatus of wind-tunnel by at least one and generates; But the omnibearing image of 360 degree then needs a plurality of projecting apparatus if desired.These projecting apparatus are installed on the superstructure of supporting wind-tunnel.
Use in a special case of this patent, the image that is projected can comprise that at least one individual does the real-time video recording of free-falling in the another one simulator.
In a special realization of this patent, other equipment of wind-tunnel and simulator can have a top cover made from oilcloth or panel, thereby guarantee that simulator is not subjected to the boisterous contrast that influences and do not influence projected image because of high light.Top cover can be fixed on the superstructure, guarantees the opening of wind-tunnel simultaneously.
Simulator has control and command facility, is used for monitoring the operation of simulator, process and the manipulation simulator that the supervision participant jumps.
The example of a specific implementation of the simulator among the present invention is provided among the figure of this patent appendix:
-Fig. 1: the panorama sketch of a simulation instance among the present invention (comprising main parts);
-Fig. 2: the profile of blowing plant figure and engine room;
-Fig. 3: wind-tunnel figure among the present invention and projection arrangement figure;
-Fig. 4: superstructure figure and the outer layer protection installation drawing of supporting wind-tunnel;
-Fig. 5: simulator relevant apparatus view.Details is watch-dog figure a).
This free-falling simulator of realizing according to the present invention comprises: air blast 1 is used for quickening air-flow; Wind-tunnel 2, its size can hold at least one individual 6 and do free-falling simultaneously; Equipment 3 is used for generating real-time imaging or simulation exterior visual environment for the people in the wind-tunnel; Equipment 4 is used for leading and the control wind-tunnel; With the device that generates image; Superstructure 5 is used for supporting various device and top cover.
These equipment or assemble for fixed installation, thus or be exactly to realize and can portablely install in order to simplify assembly and disassembly.
For movable type is installed, these equipment and above-mentioned superstructure have just been considered the transportation problem of whole simulator in design.Whole simulator can be finished transportation with the container of one or several suitable highway, railway, water route, air transport.
More than specifically described according to the present invention the design the free-falling simulator, can be transported at an easy rate and be operated.Its use that both can be used to cruise in parachute club also can be used to put on display.
Air blast 1 comprises at least one engine 10.The horsepower of engine is that the speedometer according to the uprush of averga cross section 23 sizes of wind-tunnel 2 and needs calculates.Engine 10 can be electronic or thermodynamic, and they drive one or more helical wheels 11.The parameter of helical wheel is that the speedometer according to the uprush of the parameter of wind-tunnel 2 and needs calculates equally.The horsepower that needs altogether and the parameter of helical wheel are calculated by those brainstrusts of understanding wind-tunnel.For bigger free-falling simulator, one or more thermal power engines are used in suggestion, can provide the energy of 1000 kilowatts of magnitudes such as the diesel h type engine h, thereby can drive one or more helical wheels 11.The number of helical wheel 11 and engine 10 is according to the energy decision of the size of the averga cross section 23 of wind-tunnel and available engine.Such as, for economy, also can select the less engine of plurality purpose horsepower sometimes.
One or more engines 10 of air blast are installed in machine room 12.The top 13 of machine room is designed to connect wind-tunnel 2.Thereby one or more helical wheels 11 will guarantee their rotating shaft 14 when mounted and vertically can generate air-flow 15 vertically upward as far as possible.She Ji a benefit is like this, can help cooled engine 10 and deceleration device during air-flow process machine room 12.
An opening 17 to be arranged on the wall of machine room 12 at least, be used for carrying the vital air of wind-tunnel 12 operations.Under the situation of using one or more thermal power engines, thereby one or more fuel tank 70 can be mounted the automation that reaches wind-tunnel.These fuel tanks 70 and input and output pipeline all will design according to relevant safety standard and realize.Such as, the use if simulator is cruised, fuel will be assigned in a plurality of fuel tanks 70 to guarantee that the fuel in each case is no more than 500 liters (according to certain standard about mobile installation).Best and the one or more engines of one or more fuel tanks are kept apart, the risk when taking place to reduce fire.Particularly, be used for preventing that the safety precautions of fire will be installed in engine room 12 as much as possible.
It on helical wheel 11 rectifier-diffuser 19.This rectifier-diffuser 19 is the air-flows 15 that quickened through helical wheel 11 for stable.Air-flow 15 has just become turbulent flow after quickening through helical wheel 11, needs to stablize through rectifier-diffuser.Usually, the enough thick wall that rectifier-diffuser 19 is made up of grid realizes, air-flow is through becoming stable at that time.
For the ease of transportation, when simulator uses the thermal power engine chamber, machine room 1 (comprises one or more engines 10, one or more helical wheels 11, may also have rectifier-diffuser 19, perhaps fuel tank 70) optimally be installed in one or more containers of being convenient to highway, railway, sea route, air transportation.These containers preferably can also be accepted other parts that disassemble of simulator.
In the container of a traditional size (about 3 meters wide, 12 meters long, 2.6 meters high), machine room 12 can be realized as 4 meters long, 3 meters wide, enough comprises one or multiple-motor 10 and one or more helical wheel 11, and rectifier-diffuser.Be left about 8 meters long spaces, can be used for adorning the parts of other simulators.
On one or more helical wheels 11 and rectifier-diffuser 19, along the direction of vertical axis 20 wind-tunnel 2 is installed, can hold one or more participants 6 therein and do free-falling.Wind-tunnel 2 is its vertical cylinders of trying one's best, and its bottom is 21, and the top is 22.The shape of wind-tunnel is cylindrical as far as possible, or the bigger cylindricality in top a little.A kind of shape in back is relatively good, because it can form the negative velocity pressure gradient that makes progress the end of from wind-tunnel 2, thereby can guarantee the stability of participant on the upright position in wind-tunnel preferably.Averga cross section 23 is preferably circular, but ellipse and polygon also are possible.For the machine room 12 that is installed in the highway transportation container, the transverse axis diameter of bottom 21 is at most about 3 meters, and the transverse axis diameter on top 22 is about 3.6 meters, and the height in hand between bottom 21 and the top 22 is about 4 meters.
This less relatively size has its advantage for the free-falling simulator.On the one hand, it is convenient to transportation; On the other hand, it also provides safety assurance for participant 6.In fact; if participant 6 meets accident not correctly with its Position Control at the center of wind-tunnel 2 (this is ordinary affair for unbred new hand); because the flying distance in wind-tunnel 2 is short; this participant has no time to obtain the enough speed with respect to wall 24, last protective device 25, following protective device 26 at all, even under situation about quickening.Participant 6 safety just is guaranteed like this, when its with wall 24, go up protective device 25, danger injured when protective device 26 contact down reduces slowly and greatly owing to speed.
The another one key character of wind-tunnel 2 is its implementations 7.Simulator in the present invention, its hole wall 24 is made up of the film of flexible material.This film, a kind of cloth such as according to anti-resistance ability and stability choosing is assembled formation and has become a cylinder, and the girth at its length and two ends meets the length of wind-tunnel 2 and the girth at two ends 21,22 thereof.We can find very anti-resistance and stiff cloth today, can satisfy the requirement of wind-tunnel, such as composite fibre materials, as polyester fiber or aramid fibre (as Dacron or Kevlar , they are widely used on the sail of aviation field and sailing boat).
The most handy monoblock lining of cylinder that forms the wall 24 of wind-tunnel 2 is made, and is connected by limit and edge the direction that is parallel to Cylindorical rod.The linking 27 on limit and limit anti-resistive identical with film at least.Like this, when limit and limit when being connected, the film lining can be paved then and roll (such as twisting on the cylinder so that transportation) and be unlikely to cause fold, damages hole wall 24 or its outward appearance.
Be connected (not drawing among the figure) and can use slide fastener, frenulum or Velcro material, and their combination realizes.
Be connected 27 preferably can quickly opening and closing to certain height (bottom should so) at least, enter and withdraw from wind-tunnel with the permission participant.
At last, the film of flexible material is by the tension of the framework 28,29 at two ends, thereby makes the two ends 21,22 of wind-tunnel 2 reach the shape of design.These two frameworks the 28, the 29th, the pipe of being made by metal or alloy constitutes, and its hardness and anti-resistance ability will guarantee to bear the suffered pulling force of film in the simulator running.
Very crucial a bit is, near hole wall 24 without any the structure of rigidity, especially in wind-tunnel 2 inside.The two ends 28,29 of hole wall 24 are connected on the superstructure 5, and its rigid element is far from the hole of wind-tunnel 2 wall 24.Bottom 28 be fixed on diffusion instrument 19 around and the top, thereby force air-flow 15 to flow into wind-tunnel 2.Top 29 is fixed on the superstructure.The framework 28,29 at two ends preferably connects by puller system, and such as band puller system adjusting device or hydraulic pressure, it can help the assembling of wind-tunnel 2 and can apply the pulling force of wanting to the flexible material film.In a kind of realization special case, serial elastic device is inserted at least one end frame fixing, thereby provides the little mobile tension force on the film of being applied to that may reduce when wind-tunnel uses owing to the generation of foreign object strike film for framework.The structure of this wind-tunnel 2 not only is easy to loading and unloading, and has reduced participant's 6 bump hole walls 26 and the risk that causes serious injury.When selecting the flexible material film, also to consider to be applied to the power on the film, the pulling force that they bring from possible bump, tension force between framework and air-flow.
Realize that at one of the present invention the another one key character of hole wall 24 is that it can be used as display image screen in the special case.In this case, selected flexible material film except its important mechanical characteristics, is translucent, thereby makes that the image on the outside 35 be projected in wind-tunnel can be high-visible from the inner face 36 of hole wall 24.
Some above-mentioned flexible material of being made by synthetic fibers just has suitable transparency, and is both not too transparent also not too opaque, thereby guaranteed the function of its double as screen.
Want the projection visual environment to hole wall 24, at least one projecting apparatus 31 will be installed in the outside of wind-tunnel.The visual environment of simulation can letter can be numerous, decide on the effect that will reach.Such as, the image of projection can have:
-horizontal still image
-fixing vertical scrolling the image of figure
The cine image of-free-falling real or simulation
-the real-time imaging that generates according to participant's landing process and by computer simulation
-with the combination of epigraph
When using simulator to attract the public to experience, preferably represent some attractive images, thereby should select to be different from the image of taking when those land from eminence is actual.Such as, can select to represent as far as possible the image of subaerial horizontal movement, thereby give the participant a kind of as the mobile sensation of bird.
In a kind of implementation pattern of recommendation, should 3 projecting apparatus be installed around wind-tunnel at least, to guarantee correctly to restore the environment of 360 degree.
In order to improve the quality of projected image, according to the number of projecting apparatus 31 and with the distance of hole wall 24, projecting apparatus can such as the shape by distortion device 32 or electronically 33 change images, thereby be taken into account the curved surface factor of screen through handling the geometry of correcting image.
The device 3 of this projected image is arranged, and is put into the outside of wind-tunnel 2 and away from hole wall 24, the danger of having avoided all participants to contact with hard objects by installing 5.
For the tension force of the film that guarantees to constitute wind-tunnel and the tram of wind-tunnel, superstructure 5 is placed in the top of the machine room 12 that comprises air blast 1.This superstructure has guaranteed the tram of wind-tunnel two ends framework 28,29.Pipe and profile 51 that superstructure is made by metal or synthetic material realize that through calculating, it can bear the longitudinal pulling force of the film of wind-tunnel 2.All parts of superstructure 5 are all away from hole wall 24, thus under which kind of situation and the people of hole wall 24 bumps can not run into the rigid element of superstructure 5, even hole wall 24 deforms.The size of superstructure 5 has been considered the situation of hole wall 24 failures.In addition, the mattress of being made up of foamed material 52 has been installed also, has been protected participant's safety.
In practice, the distance between the vertical support frame of hole wall 24 and superstructure 5 will equal the average diameter of wind-tunnel 2 at least.In the instantiation of Miao Shuing, be exactly about 3 meters in the above.
When simulator is not installed in when indoor, superstructure 5 supportive devices 53 are protected wind-tunnel 2 and the not influence of weather conditions such as wind-engaging, rain of appurtenances 1,3,4 thereof.Except this effect, protective device 53 or other special devices can form a dark situation around wind-tunnel 2, thereby guarantee that the image that projects on the semi-transparent open cut tunnel wall 24 has enough contrasts.These devices 53 are made up of the oilcloth that is fixed on opaque panel on the superstructure or is used for building tent.
For the simulator of the sort of use loop wind-tunnel, the device 53 that these superstructures 5 are being supported has covered engine 10 place machine rooms 12, and the opening on one or more machine room 12 17.Air-flow 18 is exactly to enter here and be accelerated from opening 17 to be discharged into the wind-tunnel 2.In this case, hole wall 24 and install space 54 between 53 has played the effect of the buffering area between wind-tunnel outlet 22 and the engine room opening 17.Therefore, this space also will have enough areas of section can not lose too big pressure here with the air-flow that guarantees to circulate in wind-tunnel.Export 22 places on the wind-tunnel top receiver be installed, can by its structure and shape guide air to flow out wind-tunnel and along both sides downwards around wind-tunnel 2.
For the simulator that uses open wind-tunnel, protective device 53 has been protected wind-tunnel 2 and associated components 1,3,4 thereof on the one hand.On the other hand, protective device 53 also will be tried one's best and do not hindered one or more openings 17 that extraneous air flows to machine room 12.Above wind-tunnel 2, one or more apertures can be opened to discharge the air-flow of going out from wind-tunnel 2 in the top of device 53.These openings preferably will be covered by device 56, enter the protection zone in the wind-tunnel 2 to prevent rain, exterior object, extraneous light, also guarantee to go out the unblocked of air-flow simultaneously.
Realize that at one of the present invention superstructure 5 has enough sizes in the special case, to guarantee that projecting apparatus 31 can be firmly fixed by safety.The size of superstructure can be held one or more projecting apparatus 31, and guarantees between itself and the hole wall 24 enough distances are arranged.The accurate location of projecting apparatus 31 and stable, very important for the stable and quality that guarantees projection image, especially in the junction of the image of different projecting apparatus projections.
Realize in the special case that at one of the present invention superstructure is made of one group of beam 51 that has connection 57.Beam can be dismantled by the embolus at two ends, thereby has guaranteed the loading and unloading and the transportation of simulator.
This simulator also comprises other useful or necessary facilities, as Control Room etc.
This simulator has comprised a control command chamber 4, can monitor the operational factor of simulator from the control panel of simulator.
The parameter of wherein important needs monitoring has (not exhaustive):
-temperature:
Air-flow;
Cooling water;
Oil in engine and the gear;
The rotating speed of the wheel sheet of the horsepower of-one or more engines and rotating speed, helical wheel;
The speed of air-flow in the-wind-tunnel.
Command component comprises the horsepower of controlling air blast at least, and guaranteeing the correct speed of air-flow in the wind-tunnel, this speed is normally by participant's body weight decision.Command component also should comprise the control appliance that safety is relevant, the emergency cut-off order during such as fire.
The part of these orders and control can automation.
This free-falling simulator preferably also comprises at least one camera that is used for monitoring 42, thereby can monitor participant 6 on the display 43 on command console limit.Camera 42 can be installed on the top catch net 25 of wind-tunnel, perhaps under the bottom of wind-tunnel catch net 26.
The camera that this camera 42 and other are relevant can also be used to write down participant 6 landing process.The chutist can usually need to watch the exercise video recording of oneself in training, with analyzing defect, find out ways of correction.For the application of amusement type, the participant often wishes to obtain the video recording of a own free-falling as souvenir after finishing.
When using two or more simulators (in same place or long-range) simultaneously, the video recording of the participant 6 in simulator can be real-time transmitted in the device 3 of another simulator and project on the wind-tunnel.So just can simulate the process that the lineup is landed simultaneously, and not need a bigger simulator; Can also reduce the risk that many people jump simultaneously like this in a wind-tunnel.
