[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The following describes various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention. The numbers of any elements in the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting. Any nomenclature is provided for distinction only and does not have any limiting meaning. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with one another unless there is a conflict.

[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, an aircraft drag parachute circuit assembly and disassembly training device includes a frame, on which are arranged a battery pack 1, a parachute deployment solenoid valve 10, a parachute deployment switch 7, a parachute release solenoid valve 11, a parachute release switch 8, a relay 9, a gas cylinder 23, and a parachute hook 21. In this embodiment, the battery pack 1 is a lithium battery. In other embodiments, the battery pack 1 may be a lead-acid battery or a sodium battery.

[0028] The battery pack 1 is connected to a power switch 2 to control the power supplied by the battery pack 1 to the parachute deploying solenoid valve 10 and the parachute dropping solenoid valve 11. Specifically, when the power switch 2 is on, the battery pack 1 can supply power to the circuitry of this embodiment; when the power switch 2 is off, the battery pack 1 cannot supply power to the circuitry of this embodiment. Thus, when training is required, the power switch 2 is turned on to supply power to the parachute deploying solenoid valve 10 and the parachute dropping solenoid valve 11. When training is not required, the power supply to the parachute deploying solenoid valve 10 and the parachute dropping solenoid valve 11 can be turned off.

[0029] The battery pack 1 is connected to a voltmeter 4 , which can detect the voltage of the battery pack 1 .

[0030] Battery pack 1 is connected to a power indicator light 3, located downstream of power switch 2. Power indicator light 3 is used to indicate whether the circuit is on or off. When power switch 2 is turned on, the circuit and battery pack 1 are connected, and power indicator light 3 lights up, indicating whether the circuit has power.

[0031] The battery pack 1 is connected to a parachute-free indicator light 6, and a microswitch 5 is connected between the parachute-free indicator light 6 and the battery pack 1. When the parachute is dropped from the parachute hook 21, the parachute hook 21 contacts the microswitch 5, causing the microswitch 5 to open. This connects the parachute-free indicator light 6 to the battery pack 1, causing it to illuminate. This allows the parachute-free indicator light 6 to indicate whether the parachute is still connected to the parachute hook 21.

[0032] The battery pack 1 is connected to a charger 19, which is connected to an external power source. When the battery pack 1 is out of power, the charger 19 can be used to charge the battery pack 1.

[0033] The relay 9 and the parachute release solenoid valve 10 are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery pack 1, respectively. The parachute release switch 7 controls the connection and disconnection between the relay 9 and the parachute release solenoid valve 10 and the battery pack 1. That is, when the parachute release switch 7 is on, the battery pack 1 will supply power to the relay 9 and the parachute release solenoid valve 10; when the parachute release switch 7 is off, the battery pack 1 will not supply power to the relay 9 and the parachute release solenoid valve 10. The parachute release solenoid valve 11 is electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery pack 1. The parachute release switch 8 controls the connection and disconnection between the parachute release solenoid valve 11 and the battery pack 1. That is, when the parachute release switch 8 is on, the battery pack 1 will supply power to the parachute release solenoid valve 11; when the parachute release switch 8 is off, the battery pack 1 will not supply power to the parachute release solenoid valve 11. After completing the above circuit connections, the parachute release switch 7 is turned on, and relay 9 is energized and closed, forming a self-locking state. That is, when the parachute release switch 7 is turned on, relay 9 establishes a circuit with the battery pack 1, simultaneously connecting the parachute release solenoid valve 11 to the parachute release switch 8. Therefore, the parachute release switch 8 will only function when the parachute release switch 7 is turned on. The gas cylinder 23 is connected to the parachute hook 21 via the parachute release solenoid valve 10. The parachute release solenoid valve 10 controls the gas cylinder 23 to supply gas to the parachute hook 21, thereby controlling the parachute release of the parachute. The gas cylinder 23 is connected to the parachute hook 21 via the parachute release solenoid valve 11, which controls the gas cylinder 23 to supply gas to the parachute hook 21, thereby controlling the parachute release of the parachute. The gas cylinder 23 is connected to the parachute hook 21 via the parachute release solenoid valve 11, which controls the gas cylinder 23 to supply gas to the parachute hook 21, thereby controlling the parachute release of the parachute. The gas cylinder 23 is connected to the parachute hook 21 via the parachute release solenoid valve 11. The gas cylinder 23 is connected to the pressure reducer 22, which delivers gas to the parachute release solenoid valve 10 and the parachute release solenoid valve 11.

[0034] By setting the parachute release solenoid valve 10 and the parachute throwing solenoid valve 11 in an exposed environment to control the release and throwing of the drag parachute by the parachute hook 21, it is convenient for new maintenance personnel to understand and learn the actual device. At the same time, a relay 9 is arranged. After the parachute release switch 7 is turned on, the circuit of the parachute throwing solenoid valve 11 can be connected through the relay 9, so that the drag parachute can only be released first and then the drag parachute can be thrown, otherwise the parachute throwing circuit will not work.

[0035] The frame of this embodiment is equipped with an installation panel. The power switch 2, parachute release switch 7, parachute ejection switch 8, voltmeter 4, power indicator light 3, and no parachute signal light 6 are all mounted on the installation panel, which facilitates operation of the training device. The frame of this embodiment is low in height, allowing new maintenance personnel to observe and learn directly without the need for additional tools.

[0036] The relay 9 in this embodiment comprises a coil 12, a first contact 13, a second contact 14, a third contact 15, a fourth contact 16, a fifth contact 17, and a sixth contact 18. The parachute release switch 7 controls the connection between the coil 12 and the battery pack 1. The second contact 14 is connected to the battery pack 1, and the third contact 15 is connected to the end of the coil 12 closest to the parachute release switch 7. When the coil 12 is energized and closed, the connection between the second and third contacts 14, 15 forms a complete circuit. The fifth contact 17 is connected to the parachute release switch 8, and the sixth contact 18 is connected to the parachute release solenoid valve 11. When the coil 12 is energized and closed, and the parachute release switch 8 is turned on, the connection between the fifth and sixth contacts 17, 18 forms a complete circuit.

[0037] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] The circuit in this embodiment operates as follows: 220V AC power is fed into charger 19 via a 1A fuse 20. Charger 19 undergoes voltage transformation, rectification, and stabilization, then outputs DC power to charge the battery pack 1 within the training device. Once charging is complete and charger 19 is removed, battery pack 1 can then supply power to the system. First, turn on the training device's power switch 2. The battery pack 1 outputs 24V DC power, which then flows through the 2A fuse, illuminating the power indicator 3, indicating that power is on. At this point, the voltmeter 4 indicates within the normal range (24-27V is considered normal). When the parachute release switch 7 is pressed, 24V positive DC power flows through it, one path to the parachute release solenoid valve 10, which opens. High-pressure cold air flows through the valve, locking the drag parachute and simultaneously opening the parachute hatch. The parachute is deployed under the guidance of the pilot parachute. Another path flows to relay 9, energizing its coil 12, connecting the second and third contacts 14 and 15, and the fifth and sixth contacts 17 and 18. When coil 12 in this embodiment is not energized, the first contact 13 and the second contact 14 are connected, and the fourth contact 16 and the fifth contact 17 are connected. At this time, 24V DC current flows through the second contact 14 and the third contact 15 within relay 9, causing relay 9 to self-lock. When the parachute deployment switch 7 is released, the parachute deployment solenoid valve 10 closes, but relay 9 still maintains communication between 5 and 6. When the parachute release switch 8 is pressed, 24V DC current flows through the fifth contact 17 and the sixth contact 18 within relay 9 to the parachute release solenoid valve 11, opening the valve of the parachute release solenoid valve 11. High-pressure cold air flows through the parachute release solenoid valve 11, unlocking the latch hook and jettisoning the parachute. After the parachute is jettisoned, the latch hook opens, triggering microswitch 5, connecting the air circuit, and the no-parachute indicator light 6 illuminates, alerting the pilot that the parachute is no longer in the parachute compartment. To prevent the parachute from being jettisoned before the parachute is deployed, relay 9 is used in the circuit, with an electrical interlock. The parachute can only be jettisoned after the parachute is deployed; otherwise, the parachute release circuit is disabled.

[0039] In this embodiment, a separate gas cylinder 23 is provided. The compressed air in the cylinder 23 flows directly to the parachute deployment solenoid valve 10 and the parachute launch solenoid valve 11 through a KJY-8 pressure reducer 22, thereby operating the parachute hook 21 to deploy and launch the parachute. The exposed design makes it easier for beginners to observe the air flow.
