Description

The useful model relates to personnel training systems for railway transport and can be used for individual training of personnel of locomotive crews to control brakes and safety systems.

Known interactive automated training system, which includes a procedural simulator module, made in the form of a layout of the control workplace with a processor unit, as well as a display device associated with the instructor unit of the group training module (RU, No. 2271040, C1, publ. 27.02. 2006).

This invention relates to automated teaching aids and can be used to create systems for complex group and / or individual training and training of personnel for the operation and maintenance of various complex technical systems, providing for the inclusion of a person in the control loop of these systems.

The procedural simulator in this training system uses a mock-up of the trainee's workplace, which, if used for training traction rolling stock drivers, is difficult to manufacture by the driver's cab. In addition, such a procedural simulator does not allow practicing skills in controlling brakes and safety devices for different series of traction rolling stock.

Known training complex for drivers (drivers) of lifting and transport mechanisms, which consists of a control computer complex with installed software, a workplace that includes a driver's chair (driver) and a control panel, a visualization device based on three wide-angle projectors that form on the front and side screens, an optical image of the surrounding working environment (RU, No. 116674, U1, publ. 27.05.2012).

This useful model is not intended for training traction rolling stock drivers, and if it is used for this purpose, such a training complex should include a control panel that is difficult to manufacture. Moreover, the video system with side monitors used in this device is not required to practice the skills of training traction rolling stock drivers on the use of brakes and safety devices for different series of rolling stock.

The closest to the proposed device is the universal information and training and control system "TORVEST-IOKS", which is a training complex that includes a workplace, driver's chair, control panel, video system, computer equipment with installed software. This simulator contains an audio system, an instructor's workplace, made with the ability to assign and control the exercise and with the ability to simulate a work environment close to reality (RU, No. 137410, U1, publ. 02.02.2014).

In this device, the operator's workplace consists of a specialized housing on which the main touch monitor and at least two auxiliary touch monitors, unified controls for braking systems and safety devices are installed. In this technical solution, the visualization device is based on an LCD TV with a diagonal of at least 40 inches and an adapter that transmits signals from unified controls to the software via a USB interface.

The device is a set of hardware and software tools and can be used for training and practicing the primary skills of managing the traction rolling stock of railways (locomotives, special rolling stock, quarry transport, electric trains, etc.), as well as studying units, parts and processes, occurring in traction rolling stock systems. As can be seen from the presented figures of the closest analogue, the control panel, driver's seat, video system and audio system do not correspond to the real situation in the driver's cab layout, which worsens the effectiveness and quality of training.

The limitation of this technical solution is the inability to create an environment for the trainee that is as close as possible to the real workplace of the driver, including:

the location of the locomotive controls displayed on the monitors, indicators of locomotive safety devices, speed meters, microprocessor traffic control systems, pressure gauges and other dial gauges in accordance with their actual location on the horizontal and vertical parts of the locomotive control panel is not provided. The reason for these shortcomings is the location of the visualization device at the location of the elements of the control panel and the incomplete display of the controls.

The task to be solved by the utility model is to improve the technical and operational characteristics of the simulator and to create an environment in the learning process that is most closely approximated to the practical work of the driver in the locomotive cabin.

The achieved technical result is an increase in the efficiency and quality of training by creating an environment for the trainee that is as close as possible to the real workplace of the driver.

To solve the problem with the achievement of a technical result in a procedural simulator for training traction rolling stock drivers, containing a control computer complex with installed software, a student's workstation equipped with a visualization device, a control panel made with touch monitors, and controls for braking systems and devices security, connected through the interface with the control computer complex, according to the claimed utility model, the touch monitors of the control panel are placed in the horizontal and vertical parts of the student's workplace to display, respectively, the horizontal and vertical parts of the genuine control panel for traction rolling stock, and the visualization device is based on a widescreen monitor (not touchscreen), located vertically above the touchscreen monitors of the control panel to display the track situation, while constructively working The hundred consists of two parts, one permanent one contains touch monitors and a visualization device, and the other, replaceable one, contains controls for braking and safety systems, which correspond to the genuine ones for a particular series of traction rolling stock.

Additional embodiments of the device are possible, in which it is expedient that

the number of touch monitors located in the horizontal part of the trainee's workplace would be determined from the condition of displaying all controls and indicators in accordance with their actual location on the horizontal parts of the traction rolling stock control panel;

the number of touch monitors located in the vertical part of the trainee's workplace would be determined from the condition of displaying all controls, indicators of locomotive safety devices, speed meters of microprocessor traffic control systems, pressure gauges and other pointer devices in accordance with their real location on the vertical parts of the traction mobile control panel compositions;

controls for braking systems and safety devices include a driver's crane, an auxiliary brake valve, a key for an electro-pneumatic hitchhiking valve, a vigilance handle and an upper vigilance handle, which are voluminous and are located approximately in accordance with their original location on the traction rolling stock control panel;

the control computer complex was equipped with an interface for connecting to a local computer network;

the control computer complex was equipped with an interface for connecting to a data transmission network.

The indicated advantages, as well as the features of the utility model, are explained using a variant of its implementation with references to figures.
