This invention relates to the field of
marine equipment technology, specifically to a rapid release device for a passenger ship's life raft. The
rope release
assembly includes a connecting
rope attached to a baffle, a fixing ring on a bracket, a locking ring fastened to the fixing ring, and a manual release mechanism connecting the locking ring to the end of the connecting
rope. The locking ring also has a release device. The inflation release
assembly includes a stop ring on a bracket, with a wide-
pitch screw threaded inside the stop ring. The release device of the rope release
assembly uses a built-in expansion material, which expands upon contact with water, allowing for
rapid response when the ship is flooded without relying on
hydrostatic pressure or manual intervention. Simultaneously, the inflation release assembly incorporates a linkage mechanism consisting of the stop ring, the wide-
pitch screw, and a conical block, ensuring that the life raft's cylinder
initiation of inflation is triggered when the rope extends to a set length, avoiding the problem of insufficient inflation due to short ropes in traditional structures.
