Description

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

The closest analogue of the claimed utility model is a device for monitoring the attention reserves of a helicopter pilot during simulator training (utility model patent RU No. 186561, IPC G09B 9/00, А61В 5/00, published on January 23, 2019), the body of which is made in the form a black cylinder with a base radius from 500 to 600 mm, in the front part of the lower edge of which there are built-in power on / off button, a health indicator and a mount, on the front part of the upper edge along the radii dividing the upper edge of the case into three equal sectors, white lines with a thickness from 1.5 to 2 mm, and in the front part of the upper edge there are three built-in indicators that provide a glow of red, yellow and blue colors, with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm, located in the centers of the radii, which are bisectors of the sectors of the upper edge of the case, and the indicators are connected by wires with 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 storage device with non-volatile memory, as well as, through a hole in the side edge of the case, a remote control made in the form of a joystick is connected to the microprocessor by a wire.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the impossibility of registering indicators that allow assessing the engineering and psychological aspects of interaction in the "pilot-helicopter" system when the flight crew uses night vision goggles.

The technical task of the claimed utility model is the development of an arsenal of devices for engineering and psychological research in the process of simulator training for helicopter pilots.

A device for investigating the reserves of attention of a helicopter pilot includes a body made in the form of a black cylinder with a base radius of 500 to 600 mm, in the front part of the lower edge of which there is a power on / off button, a health indicator and a mount, on the front part of the upper edge along the radii, dividing the upper face of the case into three equal sectors, white lines with a thickness of 1.5 to 2 mm are drawn, and three indicators, providing a glow of red, yellow and blue colors, with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm, are built into the front part of the upper face, located in the centers of the radii , which are the bisectors of the sectors of the upper edge of the case, and the indicators are connected by wires to the microprocessor located inside the case, to which the power supply located inside the case, the wireless interface unit and the drive with non-volatile memory are also connected via wires, according to the utility model, the case is built into and connected to microprocessor eye-tracker, emitter and the receiver of which is oriented in the direction of the pilot's eyes, and the bio-radar, the emitter and receiver of which are oriented in the direction of the pilot's face, and the microprocessor is configured to process the signals received by the eye-tracker and the bio-radar.

The achieved technical result is to simplify the determination of the attention reserves of helicopter pilots in the course of simulator training.

The functioning of the claimed utility model is 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 power supply supplies power to all components of the device.

Before performing an exercise on the simulator, turn on the power supply, instruct the trained pilot:

when the blue indicator lights up, no matter in which sector it lights up, blink your left eye,

when the yellow indicator lights up, no matter in which sector it lights up, blink with both eyes at the same time,

when the indicator lights up in red, no matter in which sector it lights up, blink your right eye.

During the flight, the pilot performs the flight task and, as an additional task, reacts to the lighting of the lamps according to the stated algorithm.

Microprocessor:

ensures that the indicators light up randomly with a random change in their color at an a priori set rate (moreover, the same indicator of the same color should not light up twice in a row),

processing the signal received by the eye tracker, recognizes the blinking of the eyes,

processing the signal received by the bio-radar, determines the pulse rate and breathing rate,

records the time of the pilot's reaction to the lighting of the indicators, the number of correct and erroneous reactions.

The microprocessor transmits all information to the simulator control panel using a wireless interface unit and writes it to a drive with non-volatile memory.

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

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