Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of parachutes, in particular to a series deceleration parachute system. Background Art

[0002] The parachute deceleration system has the advantages of light weight and good deceleration effect, and is widely used in the fields of aviation, aerospace, ordnance and sports. For the existing series parachute system (such as a multi-layer parachute aircraft protection system disclosed in the patent application No. 201020113647.2), due to the influence of the large wake behind the main parachute, in order to ensure the normal inflation of the deceleration parachute, it is generally required that the distance between the leading edge of the deceleration parachute and the apex of the main parachute is three or four times the inflation diameter of the main parachute canopy. However, even with a long connecting rope, the deceleration parachute still stays at the outer edge of the wake and may rotate around the wake area or move irregularly. At the same time, the long connecting rope will also generate fluctuations similar to ship movements, which will then extend to the apex of the main parachute and the deceleration parachute, thus causing instability in the inflation of the series parachute system. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above technical deficiencies, and propose a series deceleration parachute system to solve the technical problem that in the existing series parachute system during operation, a large wake is easily generated behind the main parachute, resulting in unstable inflation of the series parachute system.

[0004] To achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution of the utility model provides a series deceleration parachute system, including:

[0005] A main parachute, with a canopy hole opened at the apex of the main parachute;

[0006] A deceleration parachute, the area of the deceleration parachute after inflation being smaller than the area of the canopy hole of the main parachute after inflation;

[0007] At least two connecting ropes, one end of each connecting rope being connected to the apex of the main parachute, and the other end of each connecting rope being connected to the bottom of the deceleration parachute.

[0008] Further, the main parachute includes a first canopy and a plurality of first suspension lines, one end of each first suspension line being connected to the bottom of the first canopy, and the other ends of the first suspension lines being connected to each other.

[0009] Further, the canopy hole is opened at the apex of the first canopy.

[0010] Further, the first canopy is in an annular structure after inflation.

[0011] Further, after the first canopy is inflated, the area enclosed by the first suspension lines is in a conical structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the drogueshute includes a second canopy and a plurality of second shroud lines. One end of each of the second shroud lines is connected to the bottom of the second canopy, and the other ends of the second shroud lines are connected to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, after being inflated, the second canopy assumes an annular structure.

[0014] Furthermore, after the second canopy is inflated, the area enclosed by the second shroud lines is a conical structure.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of each of the connecting lines is connected to the top of the first canopy, and the other end of each of the connecting lines is connected to the other end of each of the second shroud lines.

[0016] Furthermore, the connection points of the connecting lines with the first canopy are circumferentially arranged outside the canopy top hole.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model include: during the operation of the tandem parachute system, a part of the airflow entering the main parachute flows through the canopy top hole to the rear of the center of the main parachute, ensuring a good airflow field behind the center of the main parachute, providing conditions for the normal inflation and stability of the drogueshute. At the same time, because the airflow field behind the center of the main parachute is good, the lengths of the connecting lines can be greatly reduced, avoiding the fluctuations similar to ship movements caused by too long connecting lines, ensuring the stable inflation of the tandem parachute system, greatly reducing the overall length of the tandem parachute system, and reducing the weight of the tandem parachute system.

[0034] To better understand the present invention, the working principle of the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with Figure 1 - Figure 2 :

[0035] During the operation of the tandem parachute system, a part of the airflow entering the main parachute 100 flows through the top hole 110 of the parachute towards the rear of the center of the main parachute 100, ensuring a good airflow field at the rear of the center of the main parachute 100, providing conditions for the normal inflation and stability of the deceleration parachute 200.
