Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for data acquisition and storage for aviation equipment, in particular for paragliders. It also relates to an apparatus for carrying out this method.
  • the present case is about aviation sports equipment that has a flying sail and is held in the air by the air flow.
  • These are mainly paragliders and the like.
  • Their flying sails consist of a canopy made of light fabric, which takes on a plump airfoil-like shape due to the ram air of a forward movement.
  • carrying or suspension lines that establish a connection between the pilot's belt and canopy, as well as control lines, with the help of which the canopy can be deformed for the purpose of control.
  • kites, sails or even balloons are also to be considered as aviation equipment.
  • the invention has the task of creating a method and a device for data acquisition and storage for aviation sports equipment, which provide information about their use.
  • the method according to the invention corresponds to the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the device is evident from claim 13.
  • Further Advantageous embodiments of the inventive concept are evident from the dependent claims.
  • the safety-relevant service life of an aviation device in particular a paraglider
  • the safety-relevant service life of an aviation device in particular a paraglider
  • the device runs automatically and should not be able to be manipulated, that is, it should not be able to be switched on or off manually in order to inadmissibly influence the stored and safety-relevant flight and manipulation time.
  • the storage and / or data acquisition can be designed in such a way that data, files or documents belonging to the aviation equipment can be stored.
  • the latter data can be information about the manufacturer, dealer, owner.
  • the storage of test reports, check protocols, instructions and the like can be made possible by a Appropriate software must be prepared for easy input and filing. This can be done by transferring data via an external device.
  • the device according to the invention preferably has a second sensor, namely a brightness sensor. It is also advantageous if the device according to the invention has a third sensor, namely a vibration sensor.
  • the device according to the invention can preferably have a temperature sensor and / or a humidity sensor.
  • Preferred variants of the device according to the invention provide that in addition to the first device on the aviation equipment, a second, external device as well as means for data transmission between these two devices are present, for example via radio technology such as Bluetooth or WLAN. Furthermore, preferred embodiments of the device according to the invention provide that the memory of the first device is designed to store data and / or files that can be transmitted by means of the second device.
  • the aviation equipment or the paraglider, has a flying sail 1 in the usual form of a canopy made of light fabric.
  • a top surface 2 and a bottom surface 3 are provided, profile ribs (not shown) being arranged in the cavity in between.
  • the carrying straps and any seat can be detached, for example by means of a snap hook, and are therefore not an integral part of the actual paraglider. Devices arranged on it would therefore not allow any reliable statement about the use of the paraglider per se. Especially not if they can be operated manually.
  • a first device 7 with at least one sensor 8, 9 and 10 belonging to the device is provided on the aviation equipment or paraglider. Their control or software as well as the storage of the data will be discussed later.
  • the representation is only to be understood as a pure functional diagram.
  • the device 7, including the sensor (s) 8, 9 and 10, is preferably installed directly by the manufacturer of the aviation equipment or the paraglider and in practice does not protrude from the flying sail 1 as shown.
  • the device 7 is smaller in size than drawn and must in no case be the technical and negatively influence the flying behavior of the paraglider through their arrangement, shape or weight. For example, it can have a size of 60 x 60 x 15 mm.
  • the device 7 which is as compact and flat as possible, can be firmly glued to the top surface 2, the position shown here being intended only as an example and not the only possibility. It could advantageously be arranged centrally on the inside in the upper surface 2.
  • the multi-part representation of the device 7 is only used to explain the various functions; in fact, it is more likely to be accommodated in a single, impact-resistant and waterproof housing. Batteries in the form of button cells can be used for power supply and should last 4 - 5 years. However, technical progress can also enable other types of energy supply. An operational reliability of -10 ° C to + 40 ° C is preferred.
  • the primary task of the sensors is to recognize the use, i.e. the movement, of the aviation equipment.
  • the first sensor 8 is a pressure or air pressure sensor or a suitable measuring device. It is also conceivable to measure a geographic position, in particular the altitude position of the aviation equipment and its change. So any facility would be useful, for example also a geographic location device that can serve this purpose and make movements recognizable.
  • the first sensor 8 can be used to detect whether a flight is taking place. If the altitude position, here the atmospheric pressure, is constant at first and a peak occurs, i.e. a pressure peak or a measurement deflection, then this is a start movement. If the pressure then becomes constant again, it was just a starting exercise. If the altitude or the pressure changes after this measurement deflection in the positive or negative direction, it is the start of an actual flight. If the altitude or the pressure becomes constant again after a recognized take-off, then this is the landing. The time span between take-off and landing is stored in a memory 11 of the device 7 as a completed flight, the flight time being recognizable in hours and minutes, for example. In addition, the start time and the landing time can also be saved, for example in the form of date and time. It goes without saying that for this purpose the device 7 must have a time measuring device and / or a corresponding software suitable for time measuring.
  • a second sensor 9 in the form of a brightness sensor can be present. If there is no light, but rather dark, i.e. the aviation equipment or the paraglider is being transported in a vehicle or backpack, the changes in altitude or air pressure detected during this time can be ignored. You are too do not save any further. This saves energy and storage space. In addition, it could be used to measure how long the aviation equipment was exposed to brightness or solar radiation.
  • a vibration sensor can be provided as the third sensor 10. This recognizes whether the aviation equipment or the paraglider is moved or only stored. No computer or storage capacity is required either. Vibrations in light, but without the corresponding changes in height / pressure, can be viewed and stored as manipulation time on the ground or ground handling.
  • a temperature sensor and / or a humidity sensor This could also be used to record and save the temperature and weather conditions under which the flights took place.
  • the second device 12 can be a special terminal but also a commercially available communication device, for example a mobile phone with a corresponding app and touchscreen operation.
  • the memory 11 can contain an EEPROM, that is to say an electronically erasable, programmable read-only memory. Better still an NFC-EEPROM with an NFC, i.e. a non-volatile, electronic memory module.
  • an interface or a serial interface can be provided, via which the first device 7 can be accessed.
  • the device can alternatively or additionally have a transmission device for short distances using radio technology, for example Bluetooth.
  • a WLAN / LAN is also possible as a third interface, with which data via the second device 12 can also be exchanged with a further, external storage device, namely a database, for example a cloud.
  • the equipment and components of the device according to the invention in conjunction with an external database would also enable a signal or a display to be activated when the aviation equipment or the paraglider was reported as stolen. This would not only improve flight security but also theft security.
  • Another safety-relevant feature could be a passive reflector that can be recognized by search and location devices. In the event of a crash, this would simplify and speed up the search for and location of an injured pilot.
  • a device for transmitting an emergency signal could also be provided, that is to say a position transmitter, which would be triggered, for example, by the first sensor 8, that is to say the air pressure sensor, and a corresponding control.
  • a position transmitter can also be useful outside of emergencies, for example in connection with a photo or film drone.
