Description

The utility model relates to the field of electrical engineering and electronics, in particular to devices for light indication and control of automatic control systems. The most relevant areas of application are safety devices and monitoring the technical condition of multi-unit technical systems, for example, systems that include several electric motors, compressors, pressure sensors, etc.

The traditional approach to the construction of indication and control systems involves the presence of separately allocated indicators and controls for each device in the system, either in the form of separate remotes or panels, or in the form of highlighted areas on light panels. In practice, the implementation of the traditional approach is accompanied by the creation of large display and control panels with a huge number of individual indicators and light displays, as well as controls (buttons, toggle switches, etc.) that determine the difficulty of localizing a failure in the system and for a long time to form an adequate operator response. The most promising solution for the construction of indication and control systems is the creation of cognitive indication and control systems with the combined functions of indicators and controls, which minimizes the technical means of indication and control and significantly less time spent on the analysis of the displayed status and the development of operator control commands. With the development of built-in control systems, built-in diagnostic systems and the development of various algorithms for the automatic elimination of certain types of faults, operator functions are often limited to turning on the corresponding program, or turning off automatic systems and putting the latter in manual control mode, which imposes strict requirements on the operator for the time of making a decision.

Known remote control indicator of the state of the onboard systems of the aircraft (RF patent 37277, Н02В 15/02, publ. 04/10/2004), selected as an analogue, consisting of a body and a front panel. The front panel consists of four rows of buttons, with the first three rows of five buttons, the fourth row of four buttons and one control knob, and between the third and fourth rows of buttons there is a panel with the designation "brightness". Information, for example, engine parameters, texts of alarm messages, additional parameters, are displayed on the screen of the indicator connected to the console using different buttons.

The disadvantage of the analogue is a long time for reading and perceiving information related to the need to service several devices: when a signal about a failure occurs, the operator must press the button, i.e. focus on the control panel, then shift your attention to the screen of the indicator located at a distance, and, depending on the situation, re-apply to the button to take measures to control the parameters of the controlled object. Such control also necessitates intense reading of information, switching attention between several devices, which causes operator fatigue. In this case, the analogue is maintained at a certain working distance and if the distance determined by the size of the letters and symbols on the buttons is exceeded, the correct reading of information is almost impossible.

A known display and control unit (RF patent 2637046, G08B 19/00, published on November 29, 2017), selected as a prototype (closest analogue), consisting of a panel made of plastic and containing at least n holes, each hole is additionally equipped with at least one pusher that is freely moving without fixing moving in the panel hole and having, on the one hand, an extension that allows you to perceive the force of the finger when pressing on the convex region of the plate, a plate that is made with the possibility of rigid fixing on a panel that is opaque from sheet material, having at least one window made to transmit light from the indicating means, and at least one convex area for pressing, made it possible to act on the plunger, which is made transmitting this action to the control buttons of the electronics board of devices for organizing security systems, in addition, the number n is chosen equal to the maximum total number of indicators and control devices for organizing security systems for a specific purpose, and the hole We ate carried out either in the form of a square or a rectangle.

The disadvantage of the prototype is its limited use for displaying the state of one unit or technical system, the absence of signs of failure localization, and the lowercase configuration of the display and control unit necessitates intense reading of information and fatigue of the operator, which in turn entails a long time for perception, analysis of information and taking measures to control the parameters of the controlled system. It should also be noted the insufficiently high level of reliability of the system itself, since a partial failure of the printed circuit board can lead to a failure of the entire device, which is unacceptable in systems of increased responsibility.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is the display of information about the technical condition of an object containing several groups of control devices in a cognitively understandable form.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the display and control unit contains a dashboard made with at least n openings and pushers located in them, having an extension on one side that allows you to perceive the force of a finger when pressing on a plate made to act on the pusher, which transmits this effect to the control buttons, while the plate is connected to the pusher and the cap in which the beam splitter, filters, the first part of the backlight circuit board is installed with LEDs, the beam splitter is made with the possibility of dividing the total area of the plate into parts and with the possibility of its installation inside the cap with an orientation multiple of 90 ° relative to the longitudinal axis of the pusher, the cap and pusher are placed in the housing with the possibility of longitudinal movement to the stop and return to the starting position under the action of the elastic element moreover, the casing is made in the form of a thin-walled closed profile and contains attachment points to the dashboard, control buttons and a second part of the printed circuit board are located inside the casing lighting fixtures with electronic components and terminals for connection, while the housings are installed in the dashboard at the minimum possible distance from each other, and the plates are oriented in such a way that they form at least one group signaling device with the same lighting characteristics, and the number n is chosen sufficient for forming a group signaling device of a symmetrical shape.

In the display and control unit, the elastic element is made in the form of a coil spring.

The display and control unit includes a dashboard 1 (Fig. 1-Fig. 4), made with at least n holes (not shown). Pushers 2 (Fig. 1) are located inside the holes, having, on the one hand, an extension 3 (Fig. 1), allowing to perceive the force of a finger when pressing on the plate 4 (Fig. 1-Fig. 4), which allows acting on the pusher 2, which is made transmitting this effect to the control buttons 5 (Fig. 1). The plate 4 is connected to the pusher 2 and the cap 6 (Fig. 1-Fig. 4), in which a beam splitter 7 is installed (Fig. 1). In the channels 8 (Fig. 1) of the beam splitter 7, light filters 9 (Fig. 1) are installed, the first part of the backlight printed circuit board 10 (Fig. 1) with LEDs. The beam splitter 7 is made with the possibility of dividing the total area of the plate 4 into parts and with the possibility of its installation inside the cap 6 with an orientation multiple of 90 ° relative to the longitudinal axis of the pusher 2. The cap 6 and the pusher 2 are placed in the housing 11 (Fig. 1-Fig. 4) the possibility of longitudinal movement to the stop 12 (Fig. 1) and return to its original position under the action of the elastic element 13 (Fig. 1). Moreover, the housing 11 is made in the form of a thin-walled closed profile, for example, from a tape 0,5-M-NT-НО-12Х18Н10Т-3-В GOST 4986-79. The housing 11 contains the attachment points 14 (Fig. 2) to the dashboard 1. The attachment point 14 consists of two components: a retainer screw, for example of 12X18H10T-G-NG TU 14-1-3957-85, a retainer, for example of 12X18H9T TU 14-1-3957-85.

Inside the housing 11 are the control buttons 5 and the second part of the backlight printed circuit board 15 (Fig. 1) with electronic components and terminals for connection. At the same time, the housings 11 are installed in the dashboard 1 at the minimum possible distance from each other, and the plates 4 are oriented so that they form at least one group signaling device 16 (Fig. 2-Fig. 4) with the same lighting characteristics, and the number n selected sufficient to form a group detector 16 of a symmetrical shape.

In the display and control unit, the elastic element 13 is made in the form of a coil spring, for example, of wire B-2A-0.56 GOST 9389-75.

The device operates as follows. The arrangement of the plates 4 and the beam splitters 7, as well as the connection of the terminals of the second part of the printed circuit boards 15, is made in such a way that a group detector 16 of a symmetrical shape is formed. In FIG. 2, FIG. 3 shows an example of a display and control unit for a 4-engine jet installation (with engine designations “ДВ 1”, “2 ДВ”, “ДВ 3”, “4 ДВ”), and in FIG. 4 - an example of the execution of an indication and control unit for a system with ten data transmission channels and two backup channels (with channel designations “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7” , “8”, “9”, “10”, “CHANNEL / REZ1”, “RE32 / CHANNEL”). In the case of normal operation of the device, it is enough for the operator to control the integrity of the displayed pattern — the group signaling device 16, and in case of failure of one of the devices, for example, the second engine, the correct shape of the figure will be distorted, forming a signal in the operator’s mind about the failure in the system, while motivating the operator to click on group detector element 16 - plate 4 and actuate the corresponding pusher 2, pressing which will activate the contact and the system will start the program for re-analysis , Removal, release of information about the current status.

After changing the status of the group signaling device 16, the operator sets the pusher 2 in motion by pressing on the plate 4, which is fixed in the cap 6 connected to the pusher 2 by extension 3. The pusher 2 is moved all the way to the stop 12, which triggers the control buttons 5. After releasing the force, the cap 6 under the action of the elastic element 13 returns to its original state. The housing 11 is made in the form of a thin-walled profile, allows you to place the housing 11 close to each other, thereby ensuring the ease of formation of a group of signaling device 16.

In the channels 8 of the beam splitter 7, filters of 9 different colors can be installed depending on the required state of indication, for example, health status - green filters when using white LEDs, or neutral filters when using green LEDs. On plate 4, translucent inscriptions of any color on a black background can be made, as well as black inscriptions on a translucent background of any color.

By placing the plates 4 at a close distance from each other, a group signaling device 16 is formed, providing instant perception of the technical condition of the complex control system of a multi-unit technical system. Changing the shape of the group signaling device 16 provides the minimum time for generating a control command by clicking on the element of the group signaling device, which has changed its state and destroyed the shape of the group signaling device 16, i.e. reduced time to take measures to eliminate the failed states of the elements of complex technical systems.

The distance between the plates 4 on the one hand does not allow to create a continuous signaling device, but under the existing built-in lighting and when observing from the working distance, the distance between the plates 4 does not interfere with the perception of the group signaling device 16.

Using the proposed device allows you to achieve the claimed technical result, which could not in turn be achieved when implementing the closest analogue (prototype) of the claimed technical solution.

In the prior art, no analogue was found, characterized by features identical to all the essential features of the claimed utility model.

The proposed utility model is technically feasible and industrially feasible at the instrument-making enterprise, the tests carried out confirm the achievement of the claimed technical result.

From the foregoing, we can conclude that the proposed technical solution meets the conditions of patentability of a utility model, namely, it is new and industrially applicable.
