Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vibration system for a simulator cockpit which includes at least one pilot seat. The vibration system comprises a vibration module for the pilot seat, the seat vibration module being composed of a platform having a top face to which the pilot seat is fixed and a bottom face to which a motor drive system is coupled. The motor drive system comprises independent mechanical means allowing the platform to be made to vibrate on three orthogonal axes, and is coupled to a control module configured to independently actuate each mechanical means and vary, in real time, the amplitude of the vibratory movements of the platform on each orthogonal axis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A vibration system for a simulator cockpit, the cockpit comprising at least one pilot seat, the vibration system being installed inside the cockpit and comprising an independent vibration module coupled to each pilot seat, said pilot seat vibration module being composed of a platform having a top face to which the pilot seat is fixed and a bottom face to which a motor drive system is coupled, said motor drive system comprising independent mechanical means allowing the platform to be made to vibrate on three orthogonal axes, said motor drive system being coupled to a control module configured to independently actuate each mechanical means and make the amplitude of the vibratory movements of the platform vary in real time on each orthogonal axis. 2 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , also comprising a vibration module for an instrument panel coupled to the instrument panel of the cockpit, the instrument panel vibration module being able to be actuated to make the instrument panel vibrate, autonomously and independently of the pilot seat vibration module. 3 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , also comprising a vibration module for a pedestal coupled to the pedestal of the cockpit, the pedestal vibration module being able to be actuated to make the pedestal vibrate, autonomously and independently of the pilot seat vibration module. 4 . The system as claimed in claim 2 , also comprising a pedestal vibration module coupled to the pedestal of the cockpit, the pedestal vibration module being able to be actuated to make the pedestal vibrate, autonomously and independently of the instrument panel vibration module. 5 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cockpit further comprises a copilot seat, and the vibration system further comprises a vibration module coupled to said copilot seat, the vibration module for copilot seat being composed of a copilot platform having a top face to which the copilot seat is fixed and a bottom face to which a motor drive system is coupled, said motor drive system comprising independent mechanical means allowing the copilot platform to be made to vibrate on three orthogonal axes, said motor drive system being coupled to said control module configured to independently actuate each mechanical means and vary, in real time, the amplitude of the vibratory movements of the copilot platform on each orthogonal axis. 6 . The system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the control module is configured to control the vibration module of each pilot seat and copilot seat in phase opposition. 7 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the motor drive system is hydraulic or electrical. 8 . The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the platform is made from a rigid material. 9 . A helicopter simulator comprising at least one seat vibration system as claimed in claim 1 . 10 . An aircraft simulator comprising at least one cockpit vibration system as claimed in claim 1 .
