Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aviation life support technology, and specifically relates to an aircraft head and neck protection system for unexpected overload. Background Technology

[0002] During high-speed maneuvers in modern aircraft, pilots experience continuous, multi-axial acceleration loads. With the further development of intelligent aircraft technology, under AI-controlled autopilot, unexpected G-forces can suddenly occur, exceeding the pilot's expectations. This is known as unintended G-force. In such situations, the pilot has no time to react, and the sudden acceleration or deceleration can cause discomfort such as nausea and dizziness. In severe cases, the combined effects of neck compression, bending, and displacement can lead to neck injuries. Therefore, developing appropriate head and neck protection systems is essential to improve and alleviate the discomfort experienced by pilots of modern aircraft with AI-controlled flight systems during unintended G-forces and to prevent injuries caused by sudden changes in head and neck posture. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to propose an aircraft head and neck protection system for unexpected overload conditions. This system can utilize the existing air supply conditions on the aircraft and, through corresponding inflation control and adjustment devices, inflate the pilot's head and neck support device, complete the expansion as required, and provide support for the pilot's head and neck under unexpected overload conditions, thereby achieving head and neck protection for the pilot.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] An aircraft head and neck protection system for unexpected overload, the system comprising a multi-functional vest, quick-release pockets, air intake hose and connector, airbag inflation module, airbag inflation hose and connector, head and neck support airbag, power supply cable and plug;

[0006] The multi-functional vest is worn by the pilot and is used to suspend and secure quick-release pockets. These pockets house and secure the airbag inflation module. The air intake hose and connector connect to the pilot's equipment connection plate on the aircraft, supplying air from the environmental control system to the airbag inflation module. The airbag inflation hose and connector connect to the airbag inflation module outlet and to the head and neck support airbag inlet, supplying the regulated air from the inflation module to the head and neck support airbag. The power cable and plug connect to the pilot's equipment connection plate on the aircraft and to the airbag inflation module at the output.

[0007] Furthermore, quick-release pockets are detachably mounted on the surface of the multi-functional vest.

[0008] Furthermore, the air intake hose and connector input end are connected to the ventilation connector of the pilot equipment connection plate on the aircraft, so as to deliver the air source of the environmental control system to the airbag inflation module.

[0009] Furthermore, the power supply cable and plug input end are connected to the power supply plug of the pilot equipment connection board on the aircraft.

[0010] Furthermore, the power supply cable and plug output end are connected to the point socket of the airbag inflation module.

[0011] Furthermore, after the airbag inflation module is manually activated, it automatically controls the inflation and deflation of the head and neck support airbag as required.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] This invention proposes an aircraft head and neck protection system for unexpected overload conditions. By utilizing the existing air supply conditions on the aircraft and through corresponding inflation control and adjustment devices, the air support device for the pilot's head and neck can be inflated and expanded as required to provide support for the pilot's head and neck under unexpected overload conditions, thereby achieving head and neck protection for the pilot.

[0014] For manned aircraft with artificial intelligence (AI)-led flight control, this invention can prevent head and neck injuries to pilots during unexpected overload maneuvers and can significantly alleviate and improve discomfort such as nausea, dizziness, and head and neck muscle soreness caused by unexpected overload.

[0017] The features and illustrative embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without requiring some of these specific details. The following description of embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples of it. This utility model is by no means limited to any specific arrangements and methods set forth below, but covers any improvements, substitutions, and modifications to the structure, method, and apparatus without departing from the spirit of this utility model. In the accompanying drawings and the following description, well-known structures and techniques are not shown to avoid unnecessarily obscuring this utility model.

[0018] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments of this utility model and the features therein can be combined with each other, and the various embodiments can be referenced and cited in turn. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] This utility model proposes an aircraft head and neck protection system for unexpected overload, characterized in that the system includes a multi-functional vest 1, a quick-release pocket 2, an air intake hose and connector 3, an airbag inflation module 4, an airbag inflation hose and connector 5, a head and neck support airbag 6, and a power supply cable and plug 7.

[0020] The multi-functional vest 1 is worn by the pilot and is used to suspend and secure the quick-release pocket 2. The quick-release pocket is used to install and secure the airbag inflation module 4, preventing the airbag inflation module, pipelines, and cables from being damaged during ejection. The air intake hose and connector 3 are connected to the ventilation connector on the pilot equipment connection plate to supply air from the environmental control system to the airbag inflation module 4. After manual activation, the airbag inflation module 4 automatically controls the inflation and deflation of the head and neck support airbag 6 as required. The input end of the pipe and connector 5 is connected to the outlet of the airbag inflation module 4, and the output end is connected to the inlet of the head and neck support airbag 6, so as to deliver the gas adjusted by the airbag inflation module 4 to the head and neck support airbag 6; the head and neck support airbag, after being inflated as required, can expand according to the set shape, so as to ultimately achieve the fixation and protection of the pilot's head and neck; the input end of the power supply cable and plug 7 is connected to the power supply plug on the pilot equipment connection plate on the aircraft, and the output end is connected to the socket of the airbag inflation module 4, so as to realize the power supply of the aircraft power supply to the airbag inflation module.

[0021] Before boarding, pilots first put on their active-duty pilot equipment, including suspenders, multi-functional vest 1, and quick-release pockets 2.

[0022] After boarding, the pilot first puts on the head and neck support airbag 6, and connects the airbag inflation module 4 and the head and neck support airbag 6 with the airbag inflation hose and connector 5; connects the airbag inflation module 4 and the onboard pilot equipment connection plate with the air intake hose and connector 3, and connects the power cable and plug 7 between the airbag inflation module 4 and the onboard pilot equipment connection plate; finally, the airbag inflation module 4 is fixed in the quick-release pocket 2.

[0023] During flight, bleed air from the environmental control system enters the airbag inflation module 4 via the intake hose and connector 3 connected to the pilot's equipment connection plate. When the pilot manually activates the inflation module, it automatically builds up a relative pressure of 30 kPa into the head and neck support airbag 6 based on the aircraft cabin pressure. The head and neck support airbag 6 then inflates, providing support and protection for the pilot's head and neck. When the residual pressure inside the head and neck support airbag 6 exceeds 32 kPa, a safety valve on the head and neck support airbag 4 provides depressurization protection.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
