The invention relates to the technical field of ship equipment, in particular to a quick release device for a life raft of a passenger ship. The
rope releasing set comprises a connecting
rope connected to the baffle, a fixing ring is arranged on the bracket, a locking ring is buckled on the fixing ring, the locking ring is connected with the
tail end of the connecting
rope through a manual releasing piece, and a releaser is arranged on the locking ring. And the inflation release set comprises a stop ring, the stop ring is arranged on the bracket, and a wide-
pitch screw is arranged in the stop ring in a threaded mode. A releaser of the rope release group adopts a built-in expansion material mode, so that the expansion material expands when encountering water, and quick response can be realized when the ship is immersed in water without depending on
hydrostatic pressure or manual intervention; meanwhile, a linkage mechanism composed of a stop ring, a wide-
pitch screw and a conical block is introduced into the inflation release set, so that when the pull rope extends to the set length, the
steel cylinder part of the raft body can be triggered to start inflation operation, and the problem that in a traditional structure, inflation cannot be conducted in time due to the fact that the pull rope is too short is solved.
