Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of parachutes, in particular to a wind-resistant parachute. Background Art

[0002] A parachute is a deployable aerodynamic decelerator that utilizes the principle of air resistance to inflate relative to the movement of air. With the continuous development of parachute technology, its application areas are becoming increasingly broad, and it is now widely used in airborne drop, airborne deceleration, emergency rescue, and aircraft recovery.

[0003] As a safety device, parachute design and manufacturing technology have always been a focus of continuous improvement in the aviation and aviation equipment fields. With the rapid development of flight technology, the operating environment and flight conditions of aircraft are becoming increasingly complex. Flight safety in strong winds is particularly important. In this context, the design and application of wind-resistant parachutes are crucial.

[0004] Existing parachutes (such as the variable air permeability parachute disclosed in application number 202021920884.X) mainly rely on a large area and air resistance to slow down the descent speed. However, in a strong wind environment, the airflow will give the parachute a lateral wind force, causing the parachute canopy to deform, thereby affecting the parachute's stability and reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above technical deficiencies and propose a wind-resistant parachute to solve the technical problems of low stability and reliability of parachutes in strong wind environments in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution of the present invention provides a wind-resistant parachute, comprising:

[0007] An umbrella canopy, wherein the top of the umbrella canopy is provided with an umbrella top hole, and the side of the umbrella canopy is provided with multiple air inlets;

[0008] A plurality of parachute cords, one end of each of the parachute cords is connected to the bottom of the umbrella canopy, and the other ends of each of the parachute cords are connected to each other;

[0009] Multiple opening and closing parts are arranged on the inner side of the umbrella canopy and correspond to each of the air inlets one by one. One end of each opening and closing part is connected to the umbrella canopy. When there is no strong wind, the upward airflow inside the umbrella canopy pushes the other end of the opening and closing part to abut against the opening of the air inlet. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the umbrella canopy pushes the other end of the opening and closing part away from the opening of the air inlet.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the air inlets is distributed circumferentially on the side of the umbrella top hole.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the opening and closing parts includes a block and multiple connecting ropes, one end of each of the connecting ropes is fixedly connected to the umbrella canopy, and the other end of each of the connecting ropes is fixedly connected to the block. When there is no strong wind, the upward airflow inside the umbrella canopy pushes the block to abut against the opening of the air inlet. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the umbrella canopy pushes the block away from the opening of the air inlet.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the connecting ropes is distributed circumferentially on the side of the air inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the blocking member is a blocking cloth.

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of the baffle is larger than the diameter of the air inlet.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the opening and closing members also includes a wrapping belt, which is arranged around the outer side wall of the blocking cloth and is fixed to the blocking cloth.

[0016] Furthermore, the wind-resistant parachute also includes a plurality of reinforcements, each of which is fixed to the outside of the canopy and corresponds one-to-one to each of the air inlets. A flow outlet is provided on the reinforcement, and the flow outlet is connected to the air inlet.

[0017] Furthermore, the reinforcement member is a reinforcement cloth.

[0018] Furthermore, the diameter of the flow port is equal to the diameter of the air inlet.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: during the descent of the parachute, the canopy is fully inflated and there is no strong wind, the airflow flows from the bottom of the canopy to the top of the canopy, and slowly flows out from the top hole to the outside of the canopy, thereby achieving the purpose of vertical deceleration. At this time, the upward airflow on the inside of the canopy pushes the other end of the opening and closing piece to abut against the hole of the air inlet, and the air inlet is in a closed state. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow on the outside of the canopy pushes the other end of the opening and closing piece to move away from the hole of the air inlet, and the air inlet is in an open state. The lateral airflow enters the inside of the canopy and is converted into an upward airflow, which greatly improves the wind resistance of the parachute. This wind-resistant parachute can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of the parachute in a strong wind environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] The present invention provides a wind-resistant parachute, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, it includes an umbrella canopy 100, multiple umbrella ropes 200 and multiple opening and closing parts 300, the top of the umbrella canopy 100 is provided with an umbrella top hole 110, and the side of the umbrella canopy 100 is provided with multiple air inlets 120; one end of each of the umbrella ropes 200 is connected to the bottom of the umbrella canopy 100, and the other ends of each of the umbrella ropes 200 are connected to each other; each of the opening and closing parts 300 is arranged on the inner side of the umbrella canopy 100, and corresponds to each of the air inlets 120 one by one, and one end of each of the opening and closing parts 300 is connected to the umbrella canopy 100. When there is no strong wind, the upward airflow inside the umbrella canopy 100 pushes the other end of the opening and closing part 300 to abut against the hole of the air inlet 120. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the umbrella canopy 100 pushes the other end of the opening and closing part 300 to move away from the hole of the air inlet 120.

[0029] When in use, the other ends of each first parachute rope 200 are connected to each other and fixed to the load. During the parachute descent, the canopy 100 is fully opened. When there is no strong wind, the airflow flows from the bottom of the canopy 100 to the top of the canopy 100 and slowly flows out from the top hole 110 to the outside of the canopy 100, achieving the purpose of vertical deceleration. At this time, the upward airflow inside the canopy 100 pushes the other end of the opening and closing member 300 to abut against the hole of the air inlet 120, and the air inlet 120 is in a closed state. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the canopy 100 pushes the other end of the opening and closing member 300 to move away from the hole of the air inlet 120, and the air inlet 120 is in an open state. The lateral airflow enters the inside of the canopy 100 and is converted into an upward airflow, which greatly improves the wind resistance of the parachute. This wind-resistant parachute can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of the parachute in a strong wind environment.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 Each of the air inlets 120 is distributed circumferentially on the side of the umbrella top hole 110, so that the parachute has wind resistance when facing side winds of different directions. The size and number of the air inlets 120 can be adjusted according to the area of ​​the umbrella canopy 100, and the size and number of the opening and closing parts 300 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , each of the opening and closing members 300 includes a stopper 310 and a plurality of connecting ropes 320, one end of each connecting rope 320 is fixedly connected to the canopy 100, and the other end of each connecting rope 320 is fixedly connected to the stopper 310. When there is no strong wind, the upward airflow inside the canopy 100 pushes the stopper 310 to abut against the opening of the air inlet 120. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the canopy 100 pushes the stopper 310 away from the opening of the air inlet 120. When there is no strong wind, the airflow flows from the bottom of the canopy 100 to the canopy 100. 00, and slowly flows out from the umbrella top hole 110 to the outside of the canopy 100, so as to achieve the purpose of vertical deceleration. At this time, the upward airflow inside the canopy 100 pushes the baffle 310 to abut against the hole of the air inlet 120, and the air inlet 120 is in a closed state. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the canopy 100 pushes the baffle 310 to move away from the hole of the air inlet 120, and the air inlet 120 is in an open state. The lateral airflow enters the inside of the canopy 100 and is converted into an ascending airflow, which greatly improves the wind resistance of the parachute.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2Each of the connecting ropes 320 is distributed circumferentially on the side of the air inlet 120, so that the blocking member 310 can evenly withstand the lateral airflow.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the blocking member 310 is a blocking cloth, and the material used to produce the blocking cloth is the same as the material used to produce the umbrella canopy 100.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diameter of the blocking cloth is larger than the diameter of the air inlet 120 , so that the blocking cloth can abut against the opening of the air inlet 120 .

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each of the opening and closing members 300 also includes a wrapping belt 330, which is arranged on the outer side wall of the blocking cloth and is fixed to the blocking cloth to wrap the edge of the blocking cloth and improve the strength of the blocking cloth.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The wind-resistant parachute further includes a plurality of reinforcements 400, each of which is fixed to the outside of the canopy 100 and corresponds one-to-one to each of the air inlets 120. A flow outlet 410 is provided on the reinforcement 400, and the flow outlet 410 is connected to the air inlet 120. The reinforcement 400 is used to reinforce the position of the air inlet 120.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the reinforcement member 400 is a reinforcement cloth.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The diameter of the flow port 410 is equal to the diameter of the air inlet 120. If the flow port 410 is too small, the reinforcing cloth will block the lateral airflow. If the flow port 410 is too large, the lateral airflow will impact the canopy 100 at the edge of the air inlet 120.

[0039] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figure 1 - Figure 6 The working principle of the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail:

[0040] When in use, the other ends of each first parachute rope 200 are connected to each other and fixed to the load. During the parachute descent, the canopy 100 is fully opened. When there is no strong wind, the air flow flows from the bottom of the canopy 100 to the top of the canopy 100 and slowly flows out from the top hole 110 to the outside of the canopy 100, achieving the purpose of vertical deceleration. At this time, the upward airflow inside the canopy 100 pushes the baffle to abut against the opening of the air inlet 120, and the air inlet 120 is in a closed state. When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the canopy 100 pushes the baffle to move away from the opening of the air inlet 120, and the air inlet 120 is in an open state. The lateral airflow enters the inside of the canopy 100 and is converted into an upward airflow, which greatly improves the wind resistance of the parachute. This wind-resistant parachute can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of the parachute in a strong wind environment.

[0041] The wind-resistant parachute provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0042] (1) The parachute adopts a unique one-way air intake structure. The lateral airflow can only enter the inside of the parachute from the outside, but not from the inside. This design does not affect the original drag characteristics of the parachute.

[0043] (2) When there is no strong wind, the airflow flows from the bottom of the canopy 100 to the top of the canopy 100, and slowly flows out of the canopy 100 from the top hole 110, thereby achieving the purpose of vertical deceleration. At this time, the upward airflow inside the canopy 100 pushes the baffle to abut against the opening of the air inlet 120, and the air inlet 120 is in a closed state;

[0044] (3) When there is strong wind, the lateral airflow outside the canopy 100 pushes the baffle to move away from the opening of the air inlet 120. The air inlet 120 is in an open state, and the lateral airflow enters the inside of the canopy 100 and is converted into an updraft, which greatly improves the wind resistance of the parachute. The wind-resistant parachute can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of the parachute in a strong wind environment.

[0045] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
