[0028] Furthermore, the cabin 3 is paved with high-strength, lightweight carbon fiber composite materials and is cured and formed through a high-temperature and high-pressure process.

[0029] Furthermore, both the main airbag and the auxiliary airbag are composed of a bag body, the air capacity of the main airbag is greater than that of the auxiliary airbag, and the auxiliary airbag is arranged on the upper outer side of the main airbag.

[0030] The main airbag 7 and the auxiliary airbag 8 are both connected to the cabin body 3 via a connecting belt 10. One end of the connecting belt 10 is connected to the bag body of the main airbag 7 and / or the auxiliary airbag 8 via adhesive, and the other end is connected to the mounting mechanism on the cushioned object 19.

[0031] Furthermore, the bladder 9 is made of high-strength ester-coated fabric sheets.

[0032] Furthermore, a constant-pressure exhaust device 20 is provided on the bag body of the main airbag.

[0033] Furthermore, the packaging component 5 is composed of a tightening component 11 and a breaking rope 12, which is used to tighten, compress and shape the folded airbag to form a package.

[0034] Furthermore, the tightening assembly 11 is composed of a piece of silk material that can be fixed on the cabin body; the breaking rope 12 can be made of a high-strength, flame-retardant flexible polyester textile material.

[0035] Furthermore, the rectification assembly 6 is composed of a rectification skin and breakable screws. The rectification skin covers the packaged airbag in the cabin, and the rectification skin is connected to the cabin through the breakable screws.

[0036] Furthermore, the fairing skin adopts wear-resistant polyurethane coated fabric.

[0037] Furthermore, the inflation component includes a gas cylinder and an inflation pipeline. The gas cylinder is connected to the airbag through the inflation pipeline, and a control valve body is provided on the gas cylinder.

[0038] Furthermore, the gas cylinder is composed of a bottle body for storing high-pressure gas and a valve body for releasing other gases; the filling pipeline is composed of a high-pressure strength hose and an adapter.

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the upper end of the buffered object of the airbag device capable of buffering, reducing load and stably floating is connected to a parachute. After airdrop, the parachute is opened first. When the parachute is about to land, the inflation component inflates the airbag, and the airbag is used to buffer the impact force after the object completely lands. An airbag device capable of buffering, reducing load and stably floating is composed of four airbag components 1 and one inflation component 2; the airbag component 1 is composed of a cabin 3, an airbag 4, a packaging component 5, and a rectifier component 6; the inflation component 2 is composed of a gas cylinder 15 and an inflation pipeline 16; the airbag 4 is composed of a main airbag 7 and an auxiliary airbag 8, and the main airbag 7 and the auxiliary airbag 8 are both composed of a bag body 9 and a connecting belt 10; the packaging component 5 is composed of a tightening component 11 and a breaking rope 12; the rectifier component is composed of a rectifier skin 13 and a screw 14; the inflation pipeline 16 is composed of a hose 17 and an adapter 18.

[0040] The airbag device capable of buffering, reducing load and stably floating, when the airbag 4 is in the packaged state, the airbag 4 is encapsulated in the cabin 3 by the package component 5 and the rectification component 6 for protection, and the airbags 4 in the four airbag components 1 are connected to the gas cylinder 15 through the adapter 18 and the hose 17. When the ignition signal is received, the gas cylinder 15 releases the gas in the bottle, and the gas is filled into the airbags 4 in the four airbag components 1 through the hose 17 and the adapter 18. The airbag 4 is inflated, the breaking rope 12 breaks, and the tightening component 11 is unfolded. Subsequently, the screw 14 breaks, and the rectification skin 13 is unfolded. After a certain period of time after the package component 5 and the rectification component 6 are expanded, the four airbags 4 are inflated and formed.

[0041] The airbag device that can buffer, reduce load and stabilize floating, when the 154 airbags 4 are in the inflated and expanded state, the four airbags 4 are connected to the object that needs to be buffered through the connecting belt 10, and the main airbag 7 and the auxiliary airbag 8 of the airbag 4 are also connected by the connecting belt 10. The main function of the main airbag 7 is landing or water impact cushioning, and the main function of the auxiliary airbag 8 is stable floating after landing on the water.

[0042] When the cushioned object 19 falls from the air and lands, the cushioned object 19 and the ground squeeze the main airbags 7 of the four airbag assemblies 1. Under the squeezing action, the internal pressure of the main airbag 7 increases. When the pressure increases to a certain value, the constant-pressure exhaust device 20 starts to work, and the gas inside the main airbag 7 leaks out. As the internal pressure of the main airbag 7 gradually decreases, the main airbag 7 is compressed and deformed, achieving the effect of buffering and load reduction. Finally, the main airbag 7 exhausts all the gas in the main airbag 7 under the squeezing of the cushioned object 19 and the ground, and the auxiliary airbag 8 remains unchanged.

[0043] When the cushioned object 19 falls from the air and hits the water, the cushioned object 19 and the water squeeze the main airbags 7 of the four airbag assemblies 1. Under the squeezing action, the internal pressure of the main airbags 7 increases. When the pressure increases to a certain value, the constant-pressure exhaust device 20 starts to work, and the gas inside the main airbags 7 leaks out. As the internal pressure of the main airbags 7 gradually decreases, the main airbags 7 are compressed and deformed, achieving the effect of buffering and load reduction. Then, under the action of water squeezing, the gas in the main airbags 7 is exhausted. At the same time, the auxiliary airbags 8 float to the waist position of the cushioned object 20 under the action of water. At this time, the main airbag 7 after being completely exhausted acts as a connecting belt, connecting the cushioned object 20 and the four auxiliary airbags 8. The four auxiliary airbags 8 provide buoyancy and restoring torque for the cushioned object 20, maintain the floating stability of the cushioned object 20, and achieve the buffering requirements of soft landing and the stability requirements of landing on water.

[0044] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
