A pump panel training device with simulated gages, controls, and water hose
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230191179A1) describes an apparatus for pump panel training in the field of fire truck operations. The apparatus includes simulated gages and controls that imitate those found on a fire truck pump panel. Additionally, there is a simulated water hose that can imitate water temperature changes, water pressure, and hose vibration.
The simulated water hose is designed with a round hose fitting on one end and a sealed end on the other. It can be filled with either water or air. In one embodiment, there is a water hose circuit that allows water to circulate through the simulated hose.
The apparatus also includes a display, which can be a touch screen display or an external display attached to the pump panel training device. This display can show rendered graphics and details of a simulated environment around the pump panel training device.
In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a virtual reality visor, where the simulated gages are rendered as graphics. There is also a computerized device that can operate augmented reality and render the simulated gages on its display.
The patent also describes a system that includes multiple pump panel training devices, each with simulated gages, controls, and a simulated water hose. These devices are coordinated by a computerized device that facilitates data exchange between them. The computerized device can also simulate one device supplying water to another.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system that combines a pump panel training device with a driver training device for simulating fire truck driving operations. The computerized device coordinates data between the pump panel training device and the driver training device.
Overall, this patent presents an apparatus and systems for pump panel training that provide realistic simulations of fire truck pump panel operations, including gages, controls, and water hose dynamics. The inclusion of displays, virtual reality visors, and computerized devices enhances the training experience and allows for coordination between multiple training devices.
