[0030] The features and performance of the device and method for controlling ram parafoil load reduction using multiple sliding cloths of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a device for controlling the load reduction of a ram wing parachute with multiple sliding cloths, which includes two sliding cloths 100 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, each sliding cloth 100 includes four circular rings 110, two spanwise reinforcement belts 120 arranged in the longitudinal direction, two chord-wise reinforcement belts 130 arranged in the transverse direction, two oblique reinforcement belts 140 arranged in an oblique direction, a covering cloth 150 connected to the four circular rings 110 at four corners, and a connecting ring 160 connected to the middle of the covering cloth 150, and two spanwise reinforcement belts 120 are connected to the two spanwise reinforcement belts 120. The ends of the two sliding cloths 100 are respectively connected to two pairs of circular rings 110 arranged longitudinally along the cloth 150, the two ends of the two chord-wise reinforcement belts 130 are respectively connected to two pairs of circular rings 110 arranged transversely along the cloth 150, the two oblique reinforcement belts 140 are arranged in an X-shape and each oblique reinforcement belt 140 is connected to two circular rings 110 located at two ends of the diagonal line of the cloth 150, the connecting rings 160 of the two sliding cloths 100 are connected by a connecting rope 170, and the area of ​​the cloth 150 in the two sliding cloths 100 decreases from top to bottom. The connecting ring 160 of each sliding cloth is sleeved on two corresponding oblique reinforcement belts 140. The four corresponding circular rings 110 of the two sliding cloths 100 are respectively used to be sleeved on the three parachute ropes 210 of the ram wing parachute 200. The four rings 110 in the topmost sliding cloth 100 are respectively connected to three restraint ropes 180, and the restraint ropes 180 are connected one by one with the rope buckles 220 of the parachute ropes 210 set on the rings 110, and the restraint ropes 180 break when subjected to a preset tension. The length of the restraint ropes 180 gradually increases as the corresponding positions of the connected rope buckles 220 extend from the middle of the ram parafoil 200 to both sides.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present application also provides a method for multi-sliding cloth controlled ram parafoil load reduction, which is performed using the above-mentioned multi-sliding cloth controlled ram parafoil load reduction device, and includes the following steps:

[0033] Before the ram wing parachute 200 is inflated and opened, the two sliding cloths 100 are arranged and stacked in sequence from top to bottom, and the four rings 110 of each sliding cloth 100 are respectively sleeved on the three parachute ropes 210 of the ram wing parachute 200, and the connecting rings 160 of two adjacent sliding cloths 100 are connected by connecting ropes 170, and the four rings 110 in the uppermost sliding cloth 100 are respectively connected to the three restraining ropes 180, and the three restraining ropes 180 connected to each ring 110 are connected to the corresponding parachute rope buckles 220 of the three parachute ropes 210 sleeved by the ring 110, and the length of each restraining rope 180 gradually increases as the position of the correspondingly connected parachute rope buckle 220 extends from the middle of the ram wing parachute 200 to both sides;

[0034] When the ram wing parachute 200 is inflated and opened, the parachute rope 210 is tightened. Since the cover cloth 150 of the lower sliding cloth 100 has the smallest area, it is first subjected to the tension of the tightened parachute rope 210, so that the lower sliding cloth 100 slides down due to the tension of the parachute rope 210. When the lower sliding cloth 100 slides down to the preset position, the connecting rope 170 is straightened and the upper sliding cloth 100 is pulled by the connecting rope 170, so that the restraint rope 180 connecting the circular ring 110 in the upper sliding cloth 100 and the parachute rope buckle 220 is straightened and broken. When the restraint ropes 180 arranged at intervals from the middle to both sides of the ram wing parachute 200 are broken one after another, the upper sliding cloth 100 and the lower sliding cloth 100 slide down at the same time until each sliding cloth 100 slides down to the intersection of the parachute ropes to make the ram wing parachute 200 fully inflated.

[0035] The device and method for controlling the load reduction of a ram parafoil with multiple sliding cloths provided in the embodiment of the present application use double sliding cloths 100 to unfold the full area of ​​a ram parafoil 200 in steps, by connecting the double sliding cloths 100 through a connecting rope 170 with a certain stroke, and at the same time, the ring 110 of the upper sliding cloth 100 is connected to the corresponding parachute rope 210 sleeved on the ring 110 with a restraining rope 180 whose length increases from the middle to the side of the ram parafoil 200, and the parachute rope buckle 220 is restrained. When the parachute rope 210 is straightened during the inflation process of the ram parafoil 200, the tension component force of the parachute rope 210 will push the sliding cloth 100 to slide down When the tension of the parachute rope 210 is greater than the strength of the restraint rope 180, the taut restraint rope 180 breaks and stops limiting the position of the upper sliding cloth 100, so that the two sliding cloths 100 slide down synchronously, and the deployment area of ​​the ram wing parachute 200 is further increased. The above steps are repeated until all the restraint ropes 180 break and the ram wing parachute 200 is fully deployed. In this way, the intermittent inflation of the ram wing parachute 200 is limited by the double sliding cloths 100, and the one-time inflation of the ram wing parachute 200 is controlled in sequence to be multiple inflations and continuous expansion, which can effectively control the instantaneous full opening impact of the ram wing parachute 200.

[0036] In other optional embodiments, one, two or three rings 110 in the topmost sliding cloth 100 may be respectively connected to a group of restraint ropes 180, and the restraint ropes 180 are connected one-to-one with the rope buckles 220 of the parachute ropes 210 set on the rings 110, and the restraint ropes 180 break when subjected to a preset tension. Optionally, the number of restraint ropes 180 may be one, two, three or more.

[0037] In other optional embodiments, the device for controlling the load reduction of the ram wing parachute with multiple sliding cloths may also include three, four or more sliding cloths 100 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and the connecting rings 160 of two adjacent sliding cloths 100 are connected by a connecting rope 170, and the area of ​​the covering cloth 150 in each sliding cloth 100 decreases sequentially from top to bottom.

[0038] The embodiments described above are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The detailed description of the embodiments of the present application is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
