Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air container transportation technology, specifically relating to an integrated air transport and airdrop pallet system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, my country's heavy-duty airdrop equipment is mainly divided into 10t and 21t classes. Due to historical reasons, this equipment can only be used for airdrop and cannot achieve integrated transport and delivery. There is a lack of 5t-class airdrop platforms in China, and the existing 5t-class freight platforms are mainly B6P container pallets. These pallets lack airdrop-compatible locks, umbrellas, and cushioning devices, and their interfaces and local strength are unsuitable for airdrop, limiting their use to containerized freight. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the B6P container pallet, starting with the 5t-class airdrop platform, to meet the requirements of integrated transport and delivery. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an integrated air transport and airdrop pallet system and method, which, based on existing standardized air transport container pallets and with the help of existing airdrop parachutes and other equipment, can achieve 5-ton heavy load airdrop and solve the problem of air transport and airdrop of small tonnage items.

[0028] Furthermore, the unlocking triggering device includes: a mounting base B, a pull-wire mounting base, a triggering mechanism, a base, and an actuating mechanism;
[0029] Mounting base B is installed in the middle of the long side frame of the air transport container pallet;
[0030] The base is mounted on the mounting base B. A rectangular guide hole is machined in the base. The length direction of the rectangular guide hole is set along the length direction of the side of the air transport container pallet where the unlocking trigger device is located. The rectangular guide hole passes through two opposite sides of the base, so that the two ends of the rectangular guide hole are end A and end B, respectively.
[0031] A locking groove is machined on the end face of the rectangular guide hole on the base. The bottom of the locking groove is connected to the rectangular guide hole, and the cross-sectional shape of the locking groove is exactly the same as the cross-sectional shape of the rectangular guide hole. A hook is also provided on the end face of the rectangular guide hole on the base.
[0032] A partition plate is machined inside the base, on the side closer to end B than end A of the rectangular guide hole. A trigger mechanism mounting hole is machined on the partition plate. The axial direction of the trigger mechanism mounting hole is perpendicular to the length direction of the rectangular guide hole. The trigger mechanism mounting hole communicates with the rectangular guide hole.
[0033] The pull-wire mounting base is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends, and the side wall of the pull-wire mounting base is machined with a T-shaped opening; the pull-wire mounting base is installed on the end face of the rectangular guide hole on the base, and the inner cavity of the pull-wire mounting base communicates with the rectangular guide hole; the pull-wire mounting base is used to install the unlocking trigger pull-wire;

[0035] The actuator is installed in the rectangular guide hole of the base and slides in cooperation with the rectangular guide hole;
[0036] When the air transport container pallet is located inside the cabin, one end of the slider passes through end B of the rectangular guide hole, and this end is located inside the pull cable mounting seat. The pull cable head mounting groove of the slider is opposite to the T-shaped opening on the pull cable mounting seat. One end of the trigger mechanism passes through the trigger mechanism mounting hole and is locked in the stop groove of the slider to limit the slider. The other end of the trigger mechanism abuts against the cabin floor plate. The pull block is pulled out of end A of the rectangular guide hole by the pull rope, and after the pull block is rotated, it is locked in the locking groove, which locks the position of the pull block. At this time, the tension spring is in a stretched state. The pull rope is installed on the hook through the pull ring.
[0037] Furthermore, the triggering mechanism includes: a roller, a compression spring, a connecting frame, and a locking block;
[0038] The connecting frame passes through the trigger mechanism mounting hole; the locking block is installed at the end of the connecting frame above the partition of the base and cooperates with the stop groove on the slider, thereby locking the position of the slider; the roller is installed at the end of the connecting frame below the partition of the base via a roller bracket; the compression spring is installed outside the connecting frame and between the roller bracket and the partition of the base; when the air transport container pallet is in the cabin, the roller abuts against the cabin floor, causing the compression spring to be in a compressed state, with one end of the compression spring abutting against the roller bracket and the other end abutting against the lower surface of the partition of the base; when the air transport container pallet leaves the cabin, the roller is unrestrained, and the connecting frame and the roller and locking block connected to it move downward as a whole under the restoring force of the compression spring.

The connector at the head of the unlocking trigger cable passes through the T-shaped opening on the cable mounting base and is installed in the cable head mounting groove of the slider.
[0041] The adjusting screw has a through hole, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the steel wire but smaller than the outer diameter of the sheath. Both the adjusting screw and the locking nut have openings on their sides for the steel wire to pass through. The adjusting screw is threaded to the cable mounting base, and the side openings of the adjusting screw and the locking nut are opposite each other. The steel wire that triggers the release of the cable head is inserted into the through hole of the adjusting screw through the side openings of the adjusting screw and the locking nut. When the steel wire is taut, the locking nut abuts against the end face of the cable mounting base, and the sheath of the cable head abuts against the head end face of the adjusting screw. When the steel wire is further taut under the action of the actuator, the adjusting screw and the locking nut allow relative movement between the steel wire and the sheath.

[0045] Step 3: Open the cabin and release the towing parachute. The air transport container pallet is towed out of the cabin. The towing lock device remains locked until the air transport container pallet is completely out of the cabin.
[0046] Step 4: The moment the air transport container pallet leaves the cabin, the unlock trigger device is activated, the unlock trigger cable is pulled, the unlock trigger cable is then pulled, and the towing lock device is activated. The towing lock device unlocks and releases the towing parachute and the main parachute and pilot parachute connected to the main parachute. The towing parachute is disconnected from the air transport container pallet, and the main parachute and pilot parachute then open the main parachute connected to the air transport container pallet.
[0047] Step 5: The air transport container pallet lands on the ground, completing the airdrop.
[0048] Beneficial effects:
[0049] (1) The air transport and airdrop integrated pallet system of the present invention is mainly an air transport and airdrop equipment that is compatible with aircraft, takes into account the requirements of aircraft air transport, and has the function of airdrop. It has the function of air transport and airdrop integration. By using standard air transport container pallets of transport aircraft and adding towing lock devices and unlocking trigger devices, the airdrop function of pallets is increased, realizing the integration of pallet airdrop. During loading, it can be quickly connected, locked and fixed. During airdrop, it can be quickly unlocked and separated, enabling it to achieve 5t heavy load airdrop by towing parachute. The side guide rail locking port remains unchanged, improving the mobility of material transport and having strong practical value.
[0050] (2) The traction cable device of the present invention unlocks the traction joint by adopting a locking safety mechanism with a swing structure and a locking tongue mechanism with a four-bar linkage. The unlocking method is simple, reliable and easy to operate.
[0051] (3) The locking mechanism of the present invention mainly consists of two functions: a locking function for the locking tongue and a safety function to prevent vibration and impact. The locking function for the locking tongue is mainly limited by the unlocking rocker arm to prevent the locking tongue mechanism from moving and unlocking. The safety function to prevent vibration and impact is mainly limited by the concave and convex structure between the locking rocker arm and the unlocking rocker arm to restrict the unlocking rocker arm from swinging upward without receiving the pulling command of the unlocking trigger cable, thus preventing abnormal unlocking.
[0052] (4) The unlocking triggering device of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, saves effort and time, and has high reliability. It uses the cabin floor plate as the trigger signal to realize the triggering action of the main parachute. Moreover, it does not require the addition of auxiliary equipment to the cabin. Therefore, it has good practicality, is easy to promote and apply, and has great practical value.
[0053] (5) The unlocking trigger device of the present invention also includes an adjusting screw and a locking nut. When the wire is in a taut state, the locking nut abuts against the end face of the pull wire mounting base, and the outer sheath of the unlocking trigger pull wire head abuts against the head end face of the adjusting screw. When the wire is further taut under the action of the actuator, the adjusting screw and the locking nut can realize relative movement between the wire and the outer sheath, thereby realizing the adjustment of the wire tension.
[0054] (6) The installation interfaces of the pallet traction lock and the unlocking trigger device of the present invention both adopt a T-shaped structure. The corresponding mounting bases (i.e., mounting base A and mounting base B) are universal. The screw hole positions of the mounting bases are consistent, and there is no distinction between front and back for air transport container pallets, thus preventing incorrect installation.

[0099] See appendix Figure 21 The pull-cord rocker arm 18 has a double-layer side plate structure, with each side plate being a V-shaped structure and the included angle of the V-shape being an obtuse angle. One side plate of the pull-cord rocker arm 18 is located between the unlocking rocker arm 17 and the locking rocker arm 16, and the other side plate of the pull-cord rocker arm 18 is located between the unlocking rocker arm 17 and the lock housing 13. One end of the pull-cord rocker arm 18 is pinned to the end of the unlocking rocker arm 17 where the pin A is located via pin B, and the pull-cord rocker arm 18 can rotate around the axis of pin B. The other end of the pull-cord rocker arm 18 is pinned to the pull-cord connector 15. See Appendix. Figure 18 When the locking mechanism is not in operation, the pull cable connector 15 is supported in the mounting groove provided on the upper surface of the unlocking rocker arm 17, and the pull cable connector 15 is connected to the unlocking trigger pull cable 4; a limiting cylinder is provided in the middle of the pull cable rocker arm 18, and the limiting cylinder abuts against the limiting protrusion provided on the side of the middle part of the locking rocker arm 16.
[0100] Among them, the pin A of the unlocking rocker arm 17, the bolt of the locking rocker arm 16, the pin B of the pull-wire rocker arm 18, and the pin joint between the pull-wire rocker arm 18 and the pull-wire connector 15 are all equipped with torsion springs for the movement reset of each rocker arm.
[0101] The working principle of the locking mechanism is as follows: When the unlocking trigger pull cord 4 pulls the pull cord connector 15, the pull cord connector 15 moves upward, thereby driving the pull cord rocker arm 18 to rotate upward around the axis of pin B. When the pull cord rocker arm 18 rotates upward, it pushes the locking rocker arm 16 to rotate to the right around the axis of the bolt through the limiting cylinder. At this time, the guide rod of the unlocking rocker arm 17 disengages from the opening slot 20, and the unlocking rocker arm 17 is unlocked. When the pull cord connector 15 continues to move upward, the pull cord connector 15 drives the unlocking rocker arm 17 to rotate upward around the axis of pin A. Therefore, the locking mechanism mainly consists of two functions: a latch locking function and a vibration and shock prevention function. The latch locking function is mainly achieved by the unlocking rocker arm 17 limiting the movement of the latch mechanism, preventing it from moving to unlock. The vibration and shock prevention function is mainly achieved by the concave and convex structure between the locking rocker arm 16 and the unlocking rocker arm 17, limiting the upward swing of the unlocking rocker arm 17 without receiving the pulling command of the unlocking trigger pull cord 4, thus preventing abnormal unlocking.
[0102] See appendix Figure 11-12 The locking tongue mechanism is installed inside the lock housing and located below the locking and safety mechanism. The locking tongue mechanism adopts a four-bar linkage mechanism, including: crank 8, connecting rod 9, locking tongue rocker arm 10 and limiting roller 11.
[0103] See appendix Figure 13 One end of the latch rocker arm 10 is pinned to the lock housing via a pin C, and each end of the pin C is fitted with a limiting sleeve B12. One end of each limiting sleeve B12 abuts against the latch rocker arm 10, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the lock housing, thereby limiting the latch rocker arm 10 axially on the pin C and preventing the latch rocker arm 10 from shaking. The latch rocker arm 10 can rotate around the axis of the pin C. The other end of the latch rocker arm 10 is provided with a downward trapezoidal limiting boss. The trapezoidal limiting boss can cooperate with the unlocking slot of the traction ring 24 at the tiger tooth structure 25 of the lock housing. When the trapezoidal limiting boss is engaged, the locking mechanism is activated. When the boss is located in the unlocking slot, the traction connector 7 is engaged and locked. When the trapezoidal limiting boss is not located in the unlocking slot, the traction connector 7 is released. The middle part of the locking tongue rocker arm 10 is provided with an upward-opening triangular prism-shaped limiting groove. The triangular prism-shaped limiting groove can cooperate with the triangular prism-shaped limiting boss of the unlocking rocker arm 17. When the triangular prism-shaped limiting boss of the unlocking rocker arm 17 is located in the triangular prism-shaped limiting groove, the locking tongue rocker arm 10 is locked. When the triangular prism-shaped limiting boss of the unlocking rocker arm 17 is not located in the triangular prism-shaped limiting groove, the locking tongue rocker arm 10 is unlocked, thereby allowing the traction connector 7 to be released.
[0104] See appendix Figure 14One end of the crank 8 is pinned to the lock housing via a pin D, and each end of the pin D is fitted with a limiting sleeve B12. One end of each limiting sleeve B12 abuts against the crank 8, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the lock housing, thereby limiting the crank 8 in the axial direction of the pin D and preventing the crank 8 from shaking. The crank 8 can rotate around the axis of the pin D.
[0105] See appendix Figure 15 One end of the connecting rod 9 is pinned to the middle of the locking tongue rocker arm 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is pinned to the other end of the crank 8; and a limiting roller 11 is installed on the crank 8 at the connection end with the connecting rod 9, and the limiting roller 11 rolls with the upper surface of the locking tongue rocker arm 10.
[0106] The locking mechanism of the latch mechanism is as follows: when the crank 8 and connecting rod 9 are near the dead point, the latch mechanism closes (that is, the trapezoidal limiting boss of the latch rocker arm 10 is located in the unlocking slot of the traction ring 24, and the traction joint 7 is engaged and locked). The locking rocker arm 10 is precisely limited by the triangular prism limiting groove of the latch rocker arm 10 and the triangular prism limiting boss of the locking safety mechanism. At this time, the opening force of the latch rocker arm 10 is transmitted to the crank 8 shaft in the four-bar linkage through the connecting rod 9, and finally to the lock housing. The yaw pull side of the latch mechanism is transmitted to the lock housing through the pin C of the latch rocker arm 10 itself. Another small part of the force of the latch mechanism is transmitted to the lock housing through the locking safety mechanism.
[0107] The working principle of the locking tongue mechanism is as follows: when the pull cable connector 15 drives the unlocking rocker arm 17 to rotate upward around the axis of the pin A, the triangular prism-shaped limiting boss of the unlocking rocker arm 17 disengages from the triangular prism-shaped limiting groove of the locking tongue rocker arm 10, the locking tongue rocker arm 10 is unlocked, the trapezoidal limiting boss of the locking tongue rocker arm 10 can disengage from the unlocking slot of the traction ring 24, and the traction connector 7 is released.
[0108] The assembly process of the traction lock device is as follows: First, the mounting base A5 is installed in the middle of the long side frame of the air transport container pallet 1 using high-strength bolts; then, the lock body assembly 6 is installed on the mounting base A5. The lock body assembly 6 and the mounting base A5 are connected by a T-slot and a T-shaped boss, which can achieve quick loading and unloading; then, the locking rocker arm 16 on the lock body assembly 6 is moved, and the locking tongue rocker arm 10 is moved by the unlocking rocker arm 17, and the traction connector 7 is pushed in. The tiger tooth groove of the traction connector 7 and the tiger tooth structure 25 of the lock shell are engaged. At the same time, the unlocking slot of the traction connector 7 is engaged with the trapezoidal limiting boss of the locking tongue rocker arm 10 to achieve the biting and locking of the traction connector 7.

That is, the locking groove 32 can be obtained by rotating a portion of the rectangular guide hole 34 about its center line by 30° to 60°. In this embodiment, the locking groove 32 is obtained by rotating a portion of the rectangular guide hole 34 about its center line by 45°. A hook 35 is also provided on the end face of the rectangular guide hole 34 on the base 28.
[0115] Inside the base 28, a partition is machined on the side closer to end B than end A of the rectangular guide hole 34. A trigger mechanism mounting hole 33 is machined on the partition.

[0118] See appendix Figure 26 The actuator 29 includes: a slider 41, a tension spring 42, a pull block 43, a pull rope 44, and a pull ring 45 connected in sequence; the cross-sections of the slider 41 and the pull block 43 are both non-circular, that is, the cross-sections are inconsistent when rotated by a certain angle; in this embodiment, the slider 41 and the pull block 43 are both rectangular block structures, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 27 As shown, a T-shaped cable head mounting groove 412 is machined on one side of the slider 41, and the cable head mounting groove 412 passes through the end of the slider 41; a stop groove 411 with the opening facing downward is machined on the other side of the slider 41.

When the air transport container pallet 1 is located in the cabin, one end of the slider 41 passes through end B of the rectangular guide hole 34 and is located in the pull wire mounting seat 26. The pull wire head mounting groove 412 of the slider 41 is opposite to the T-shaped opening on the pull wire mounting seat 26. The stop groove 411 on the slider 41 cooperates with the locking block 39 of the trigger mechanism 27, and the locking block 39 locks the position of the slider 41. The pull block 43 is pulled out of end A of the rectangular guide hole 34 by the pull rope 44, and after the pull block 43 is rotated, it is locked in the locking groove 32, and the locking groove 32 locks the position of the pull block 43.

[0124] Example 4:
[0125] Based on embodiments 1-3 above, this embodiment provides an operation method for an integrated airlift and airdrop pallet system, which is as follows:
[0126] Step 1: Install the towing lock device 2, the unlocking trigger device 3, and the unlocking trigger cable 4 at the corresponding positions on the air transport container pallet 1;
[0127] Step 2: Install the towing parachute to the towing lock device 2, install the main parachute to the air transport container pallet 1, and install the main parachute and guide parachute of the main parachute to the towing lock device 2.
[0128] Step 3: Open the cabin and release the towing parachute. The air transport container pallet 1 is towed out of the cabin. The towing lock device 2 remains locked until the air transport container pallet 1 is completely out of the cabin.
[0129] Step four: the moment the air transport container pallet 1 leaves the hold, the roller 36 of the unlocking trigger device 3 installed on the forward long side of the air transport container pallet 1 loses its restraint. The connecting frame 38 and the roller 36 and locking block 39 connected to it move downward as a whole under the restoring force of the compression spring 37, thereby causing the locking block 39 to separate from the slider 41. The slider 41 loses its restraint and moves to the right under the restoring force of the tension spring 2, thereby pulling the unlocking trigger cable 4 to the right. After the unlocking trigger cable 4 is further tightened, the unlocking trigger cable 4 first pulls the cable rocker arm 18 upward through the cable connector 15. At this time, the protruding structure on the cable rocker arm 18... The locking rocker arm 16 is swung to unlock, triggering the pull cable 4 to continue pulling the pull cable rocker arm 18. The pull cable rocker arm 18 drives the unlocking rocker arm 17 to swing upward. At this time, the locking safety mechanism is opened, thereby unlocking the locking tongue mechanism and releasing the traction connector 7. At this time, the traction parachute connected to the traction ring 24 of the traction connector 7 is disconnected from the air transport container pallet 1. At the same time, the guide ring 21 of the traction connector 7 drags the pull rope of the main parachute and the guide parachute, pulling the main parachute and the guide parachute upward. The main parachute and the guide parachute then open the landing main parachute connected to the air transport container pallet 1 normally. After the landing main parachute opens normally, the air transport container pallet 1 is ensured to descend slowly with a normal attitude.
[0130] Step 5: Air transport container pallet 1 lands on the ground, completing the airdrop.
[0131] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The connector at the head of the unlocking trigger cable passes through the T-shaped opening on the cable mounting base and is installed in the cable head mounting groove of the slider. The adjusting screw has a through hole, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the steel wire but smaller than the outer diameter of the outer sheath. Both the adjusting screw and the locking nut have openings on their sides for the steel wire to pass through. The adjusting screw is threaded to the pull wire mounting base, and the side openings of the adjusting screw and the locking nut are opposite each other. The steel wire that unlocks and triggers the pull wire head is inserted into the through hole of the adjusting screw through the side openings of the adjusting screw and the locking nut. When the wire is taut, the locking nut abuts against the end face of the wire mounting base, and the outer sheath of the unlocking trigger wire head abuts against the head end face of the adjusting screw. When the wire is further taut under the action of the actuator, the adjusting screw and the locking nut can achieve relative movement between the wire and the outer sheath.
