Description

The utility model relates to devices for engineering psychological and ergonomic research.

The hardware and software complex “Reserves” is known from the prior art, which includes a scoreboard, a control panel and a personal computer [Ushakov IB, Kukushkin Yu.A., Bogomolov AV Physiology of labor and the reliability of human activity. M .: Nauka, 2008.317 s. - S. 274-287]. The panel is intended for presentation to the pilot of color (program No. 1) and digital (program No. 2) information. There are 9 signal lamps (3 yellow, green and red in color) around the circumference of the front panel of the board, and in the center there is a rectangular window in which digital information is displayed (two-digit numbers - from 10 to 99). The control panel is designed to implement the pilot's control actions (selection reactions) to the information displayed on the scoreboard. Three buttons are located on the remote control case: each button serves to turn off light bulbs of a certain color (program No. 1). When a button corresponding to the color of the switched on lamp is pressed, it is turned off, after which, according to a random law, the next lamp turns on, etc. In the case when work is carried out under program No. 2, two of the three buttons are used (“even” or “odd”). In this operating mode, pressing the button corresponding to the correct identification of the evenness or oddness of the sum of two digits displayed in a rectangular display window will reset the information and a new two-digit number will appear. A personal computer is designed to create, by random means, control commands for turning on bulbs on a scoreboard or presenting double-digit numbers, determining the correctness of the pilot's response to the information presented, fixing the duration of the flight stages, and automatically evaluating the pilot's backup capabilities for processing information. The panel is installed in the cockpit above the dashboard on the left side at a distance of about 40 cm from its center. The control panel is attached to the aircraft engine control handle.

The disadvantages of this technical solution is that the color of one of the lamps (green) coincides with the color of the illumination of devices in the helicopter cockpit, which reduces the objectivity of research (the visibility of one of the lamps is worse than the visibility of two other lamps), and the combination of nine signal lamps in one device and a rectangular window in which digital information is displayed determines the complexity of the complex and, accordingly, the complexity of its placement in the helicopter cockpit.

The technical task of the utility model is to expand the arsenal of means of psycho-physiological support for the training of helicopter pilots.

The solution to the technical problem is achieved by the fact that the body of the device for monitoring the helicopter pilot’s attention reserves during training is made in the form of a black cylinder with a base radius of 500 to 600 mm, a power on / off button, and a service indicator and mount are built into the front of the lower face , on the front part of the upper face along radii dividing the upper face of the case into three equal sectors, white lines from 1.5 to 2 mm thick are plotted, and three ensuring light are built into the front part of the upper face red, yellow and blue colors of the indicator, with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm, located at the centers of radii, which are the bisectors of sectors of the upper face of the case, the indicators being connected by wires to a microprocessor located inside the case, to which the source located inside the case is also connected via wires power supply, a wireless interface unit and a drive with non-volatile memory, and also, through a hole in the side of the case, a remote control made in the form of a joystick is connected to the microprocessor using a wire.

The technical result achieved by the claimed combination of features is to simplify the determination of the reserves of attention of helicopter pilots in the process of simulator training.

The components of the claimed device are known at the filing date of the application:

the power on / off button can be performed according to the solution described in the patent for utility model RU No. 7240;

health indicator can be performed according to the solution described in the patent for utility model RU No. 165096;

fastening can be performed according to the solution described in the patent for invention RU No. 2670191;

indicators can be performed according to the solution described in the patent for invention RU№2012949;

the microprocessor can be made according to the solution described in the patent for invention RU No. 2666458;

the power source can be made according to the solution described in the patent for invention RU No. 26400400;

the wireless interface unit can be performed according to the solution described in the patent for invention RU No. 2415500;

a drive with non-volatile memory can be performed according to the solution described in the patent for invention RU No. 2352001;

the remote control can be made according to the solution described in the patent for invention RU No. 2596576.

The claimed device operates as follows.

The body of the device is fixed in the cockpit of the helicopter simulator, orienting so that one sector is “central”, the other is “left” and the third is “right”.

The remote control in the form of a joystick is fixed on the lever of the general step of the helicopter, controlling the orientation of the joystick handle (left-forward-right).

The power supply provides power to all components of the device.

Before performing exercises on the simulator include food, instruct the trained pilot:

when the blue indicator lights up, no matter in which sector it lights up, move the joystick to the left,

when the yellow indicator lights up, no matter in which sector it lights up, move the joystick forward,

when the red indicator lights up, no matter in which sector it lights up, move the joystick to the right.

When performing a flight, the pilot performs the flight task and, as an additional task, reacts to the lamp ignition according to the described algorithm.

The microprocessor provides random lighting of the indicators with a random change in their color at an a priori set pace (moreover, the same indicator of the same color should not light up twice in a row), fixes the pilot's reaction time to the indicators' lighting, the number of correct and erroneous reactions. This information is transmitted to the simulator control panel using the wireless interface unit and is recorded in a non-volatile memory drive.

The calculation of the indicator of attention reserves is carried out according to one of the well-known algorithms: both for the entire flight and for its individual stages.

Thus, the purpose of the claimed utility model has been achieved: a technical result is provided, which consists in simplifying the determination of the reserves of attention of helicopter pilots in the process of simulator training.

The described elements of the claimed device are functionally interconnected and are in constructive unity, and the combination of its essential features is unknown from the prior art. Therefore, the inventive device is a new technical solution.
