Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aviation tools, and in particular relates to a parachute cleaning mechanism and a cleaning device containing the cleaning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A parachute (also known as a safety parachute or airborne parachute) is mainly made of breathable flexible fabric and can be folded and packed in a parachute bag or parachute box. When working, it moves relative to the air and expands to slow down and stabilize a person or object. It usually has a large canopy that can generate a lot of air resistance. The falling person or object is connected to the canopy by a rope. When landing, the speed of the person or object's descent is reduced, the impact of the fall is reduced, and the person or object lands safely. The parachute can ensure the safety of people or objects falling in the air. The parachute is an important equipment for airborne troops. With a parachute, people can also control the direction of descent and ensure the accuracy of the landing location.

[0003] Existing parachutes can be divided into the following two types according to the application scenarios:

[0004] (1) Parachutes for use on land. This type of parachute is mainly landed in fields and muddy areas. The dirt on the parachute is mainly mud stains on the inside and outside of the canopy and the parachute ropes, as well as weeds attached to it. The prior art uses manual cleaning methods for this type of parachute, specifically manual weed removal and a combination of manual scrubbing and washing with a large amount of water, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and water-consuming.

[0005] (2) Parachutes used at sea. After landing, these parachutes will be salvaged from the seawater, which mainly contains foreign matter such as seawater and mud. The prior art uses methods such as immersion and machine washing to clean these parachutes, which can effectively remove seawater and mud, but this cleaning method cannot effectively remove mud and weeds inside and outside the parachute.

[0006] In summary, there is an urgent need for a parachute cleaning mechanism that is easy to operate and can effectively clean the inside and outside of a parachute, and a cleaning device containing the cleaning mechanism to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0049] First, the lifting installation platform 3.1 and the cleaning installation platform 1 are fixedly installed at the corresponding installation stations 5.

[0050] Step 1: The cleaning trolley 6 transfers the parachute 7 to the cleaning position; the lifting power source 3.21 in the lifting mechanism 3 controls the lifting connection member 3.22 to drive the clamping member 3.23 to move downward to a suitable position; the clamping member 3.23 clamps the parachute 7;

[0057] Step 8: The lifting power source 3.21 controls the lifting connection part 3.22 to drive the parachute to rise to the highest point, and the cleaning is completed. The internal cleaning power source stops working, and the multiple cleaning brushes in the internal cleaning part 4.2 are retracted;
